Chapter 5: Watch Out Mexico Here I Come

Bella’s P.O.V.

We get to Santos Chavez’ huge mansion and I am just awed by it all. Escorting us to his office he introduces himself to me, Fabio and Heilo. “Hi, I am Santos Andre Chavez, owner of this house and the jefe of the Mexican Cartel..” He shakes the boys hands as they introduce themselves, then he stands in front of me. To my surprise he hugged me. “Bella it is an honor to finally meet you, princess. I just would rather it be under different circumstances.” “Me too, Mr. Chavez me too.” “Santos.” “What?” “You kids can call me Santos, Mr. Chavez was my father.” “Santos.” I repeated. Never thought that the leader of the Mexican Cartel would be so laid back. “Now I will leave you here, I will come back for you after you discussed everything that is needed.” He says that and leaves us to whatever this discussion is.

“I never agreed to this, you know what will happen if you go through with this. Bel.la love, you know I love you, hell you are a part of my son, but…..” “I am also part of the woman you hate?” I questioned her. “Yes…” “I don’t like your tone and how you speak of my mother grandmother Maria!” I say to her as I start to get angry. “Dear….’’ “NO!” I finally had enough as my father took me into his arms. “I warned you Zanders, I will….” “Analina can I have a word?” My grandfather asks my mother. “Yes, of course.” She says as she looks to my father for approval in which he just shakes his head. ‘I am sorry about Maria, Analina. She just recently found out about us…’ “Zanders say no more, I am find.”

I look up at my father and there is no signs whatsoever of any hints of jealousy. “Daddy, you are ok with this. I mean did not mom and grandfather Zander use to be lovers?” “Yes I am ok with it, and yes they id use to be lovers but that was a long time ago princess.” “NOT FOR YOUR FATHER HE STILL LOVES HER!!!” Grandmother Maria yells this at my father. I look up at him again. “Still no jealousy?” “None, princess, like I said it happened a long time ago. Dad can you come back and let mom say what she has to say so she can get the hell out of our faxes.” “Sure, sorry Analina.” “No need to apologize Zanders.” “WHAT MARIA!!!’ “I am leaving if you through with this.” ‘Goodbye then.” He says to her, she turns around on her heels with her nose in the air as she walks away. Closing the door behind us Grandfather Zanders sits down next to me.

“Ok, the lawyer should be here soon, so let us get to our end of business. Bella I will accept having full sole custody of you, there for you are to stay here under the protection of the Mexican Cartel, I are under the assumption that the father to your unborn baby is a faculty member of your high school. Which this is the best option for you? Do you have any questions?” “No, none grandfather.” “Have you thought about rather or not you want to attend public school with Antonnio and Antoinette, or online schooling which you would being home schooled here.” “I have a question grandfather Zanders.” “Yes, what is it.” “If I may ask, how old his kids?” “Antonio is eighteen just like Rocky and Fabio, Antoinette is sixteen just like you. “In fact, you two were born on the same day.” My mother informed me. “In fact, your mother and Santos calls you both the moon and stars.”

“You being the stars because when you smile and it reaches your eyes, you can see stars in them.” Antoinette is considered to be the moon, there was a full moon when you two were born and she just loves the moon, the light her parents say that she has lights up a room like moonbeams.” Grandfather said with amusement. “I want to try public school.” “Ok, but you can only go up till your second trimester, because that is when you will start to show.” Mom said. “Ok.” I answered back. My grandfather continues. Now Heilo, I am not allowed to have custody of you since you are twenty, but you are to attend the local college, but I do have educational decision making approved by your parents.

Your roles will be discussed next, Bella I know that you excellent in combat like your mother, and just like your mother you also better than her she was with her mother, your grandmother Liliana.” Grandfather? Did you ever….?” “No, she was more of a sister to the three of us, and once your grandfather John came around her protection fell to him. Like I was saying, for your roles Bella you will be the bodyguard to Antionette and Fabio will be the bodyguard for Antonio. Heilo when you get out of college and/or you have time before classes you are to walk them to and from school, we do not know what this coaches background is.” “Coach Stevenson?” I whispered as a question thinking that no one overheard me. “Your tennis coach?” mom asked. “No.” “Are you in love with him? Bella? Mom asked “No!” Fabio than turns my head towards him. “You sure?” “Yes!” I snapped. Fabio shrunk into himself at my outburst.

“I will have Santos look into him, Stevenson right? First name?” “Don’t know.” “Hold on.” Dad said. [Diego, look up coach Stevenson at the high school] [what….fo….oh. got it] “Continue dad.” ‘Knock knock‘ “Come in.” Santos walks in with two other people (must be his kids) the boy must be Antonnio, who for some reason can’t take his eyes off me, the girl must be his sister Antionette which to my surprise is looking over at Heilo with a face as red as tomato. “All set here?” Santos asked grandfather. “ “yes, but we need to talk later, the four of us.” He says as he gestures over to my parents. “Got it. Kids This Bella, next to her is Fabio her fiancé and next to him is her cousin Heilo.” “The Dynamic Duo twins!!” She shrieked. “What?” We both said at once.” “Just that with your skills you two work best together.” Santos explained to both of us. “Now Antionette and I will show Bella to her room, and Antonio will show the boys to theirs. After I am done I will meet up with you here.” “Understand.” My grandfather said.

Antonino’s P.O.V.

“Here is your room Helio, I assume you would want to be close to Bella?” “Yes please, thanx man.” “don’t mention it. Now you.” I say pointing to the one that is supposed to be her fiancé. Once we reach the room I turn to him. “Tel me man. Is she really your fiancé ?” “Truth?” “Yeah.” “Not in her eyes, in her eyes it is just our parents setting us up, now in mine it is very much real. I am madly in love with the girl.” “But she won’t return your feelings?” “No, even though she finally agreed to it.” “This is your room.” “Let me guess, as far away from Bella as possible.” “She will be mine, mark my words Fabio.”
