Chapter 02: Do you believe in fate, Miss Bella?

The two of them smiled, still shaking hands, it was clear that there was an atmosphere between them, but Bella was the first to let go, taking two steps back, trying to disguise the embarrassed way he had left her...

"And as for you, make sure you keep your four-wheeled board on your feet. That would prevent accidents." Bella walked back to her car, still looking at the handsome boy without realizing that a car was coming at her at high speed, forcing Dylan to pull her close to him, bringing their bodies closer together.

"Watch out! I think I should escort you. But my question is, to your car or to your house?" Dylan smiles at his charm, watching Bella's face flush. She turns away abruptly, looking away.

"I don't need any of that, I can manage on my own. I'm just distracted, but thanks anyway."

"Got it, no need to get angry. Bye Brunette!" Dylan waves in Bella's direction, who just gets into her car and drives off.

Meanwhile, a curious Oliver approaches ...

"Why are you still standing there looking at nothing, DK?"

"Nothing! Let's go back to the beach, I want to take another dip before I go back and see the almighty."

Arriving at Chloe's house, Bella is greeted by one of the maids who leads her to the pool area.

"What took you so long?

"Because of a skateboard."

"What?"

"I met the owner of the Skateboard, what a man. My God!"

"Is he that handsome?"

"Very. To sum up, what a delightful man."

"Wow! I've never seen you talk like that about any man you've met in your 21 years of life." Chloe smiles

"Yeah, that could be. But I came here to ask you a favor."

"I need to rent an apartment, but it can't be on the north side of Miami, I want the south side."

"Are you crazy?" Chloe gets up quickly from the lounger. "Do you know that the South Side belongs to the Kicher?"

"I know. And that's why I want your help, you're going to get me a document with a false surname. It has to be you because if I do that I'll attract attention and my father, who's already stressed about me, will want to punish me."

"Punish you? He'll disinherit you, but not before humiliating you in front of everyone."

"Are you going to help me or not?"

"Yes!"

While the friends were enjoying the sunny day and chatting, Johnny arrived with some news

"Hey girls, did you hear about the new nightclub that's opening today?"

"It's on the south side and we're not allowed to go there, for obvious reasons. Kicher and Malone and their eternal rivalry."

"I'll go with you, Johnny."

"That's the adventurous spirit I like about you, Bella. Chloe, come on, you look like you were born old. Come with us."

"My dear friend, I love my skin and I'd really like it to stay stuck to my flesh."

"Don't worry, she goes."

Meanwhile, at the Kicher mansion, Alexander tells his son about the new business, asking him to take personal charge of the new nightclub, which will be a great front for certain businesses.

"Don't worry, Don. I'll take care of everything." The once showed itself relaxed and easy-going boy now appears serious and formal in front of the leader of the Kicher family, as he should be.

The evening soon arrived and the three friends set off for the opening of the nightclub, the entrance was spare so they passed easily. As they entered, Bella's observant eyes analyzed every detail, noting the spaciousness of the place...

"Sorry, Bella, but this club is much better than your father's."

"Shut up, Johnny! Are you the type to judge by looks? Let's try it first" Bella walks to the bar while her friends go straight to the dance floor.

Meanwhile, DK arrived in the company of his loyal subordinates, Oliver and Dean, and unlike other mobsters who wear characteristic clothes, they wore elegant yet casual clothes. As DK walked further into his establishment, everyone stared at him, his presence not going unnoticed, either because of his imposing gait or because of his beauty. However, he didn't mind the stares of women, he had never been attached to anyone, never fallen in love with anyone, at least not until he met her.

"So guys, go around and see if everything's okay"

"But what about you?"

"I can look after myself. Now go away." DK looks in the direction of the bar and notices a beautiful woman with long black hair and a tattoo of a phoenix on her bare back, sipping a shot of tequila, sitting with her legs crossed, and at that moment the image of the woman who once dared to lecture him comes to mind:

"Can I buy you another drink, miss?" DK threw out the guy who couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful woman and looked as if he wanted to devour her.

"I don't usually accept drinks from strangers, sorry." Bella prepares to leave

"But we're not strangers." Bella turned to look at the man's face and was surprised to see who it was

"The guy with the skateboard!" Bella smiled, sitting down again

"Do you believe in fate, Miss Bella?"

"Not really."

"What a shame! Well, I do and you're part of my destiny. It's no coincidence that we met here."

Bella was surprised and excited at the same time, no one had ever spoken like that before and she decided to play along

"And what does that mean?"

"Ah brunette! Don't smile at me like that or I'll lose my mind."

"Um, what are you going to do, Mr. Dylan?"

"That..."

DK pulls Bella by the hand and lets her be led to a more secluded place, a small corridor where the lights are low voltage, he places her against the wall looking into Bella's big green eyes, taking her lips in an intense and horny kiss, the atmosphere between them had heated up almost uncontrollably. Bella clung to DK's sculpted body, while his hands roamed over the beautiful brunette's shapely body and as he was lifting Bella's black dress, a cell phone started ringing non-stop:

"What is it?"

"We've got a problem."

"Sort this shit out, Oliver. I'm busy." DK pauses for a moment, feeling Bella's gaze on him.

"I can't. Come soon!"

"I need to..."

"Go? Yeah, I heard." Bella takes DK's cell phone and type down his number on it, the two of them leave afterwards, he goes off in a rage to find Oliver and Dean and Bella his friends.

"Where were you? We looked inside and outside the club and not meet you find you, we were already leaving."

"You're a great friend, huh Johnny? I was getting to know the place better with a skateboarder I met earlier."

"Is he here? Where?" Chloe started looking around while Johnny couldn't understand anything

"Who? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Let's go."

At the back of the nightclub DK arrives full of anger at having been interrupted:

"I hope it's something very important to get me out of the arms of that beautiful brunette."

"Look who we found poking around here."

"Rick Jones! Anthony Malone's most loyal henchman. How interesting you are here"

Rick was completely surrendered, hanging by a chain and at that point he had already been beaten to the point of almost losing consciousness, but he still found the strength to say:

"Kicher, you bastard! If you're going to kill me, do it soon."

"Kill you? No. I'm in a good mood today, I'll just torture you a bit more and then return you to your owner."

"But boss..."

"Just kidding, Dean. Finish this bastard off and then send him back to that son of a bitch Malone."

"Boss, who was that womam with the long black hair and beautiful green eyes?"

"Oliver, don't talk about my brunette like that, but to answer your curiosity, her name is Bella."

At that moment, listening to the conversation between the three of them, Rick fit the pieces and when DK says the name of the woman he was with, he becomes agitated:

"Ms. Malone!" At that moment a gunshot was heard with a silencer on the end so as not to attract attention, Rick was dead, taking with him perhaps the only opportunity to prevent a romance between the children of two arch-rivals from starting.
