CHAPTER FIFTY THREE

THIRD PERSON'S POV

The sun had risen through the large windows of the romano mansion as the rain had finally stopped falling from the clouds and the sun had peaked out sending down warm sunbeams

the brunette stood in the kitchen as she absentmindedly stirred the cup of coffee , her mind occasionally going back to what had happened last night

after the taller woman left , the brunette helped asia to the woman's room before cleaning up her own injuries . she sweeped up the pieces of glass as she tried to get her thoughts together and process what just happened

she wasn't on neither side as asia was wrong to say such cruel words to bellarosa when they just buried alejandro , and bellarosa was wrong to react the way she did and resort to violence

and the poor brunette was just stuck in the middle of it all as she felt drained by everything , she had heard no word from bellarosa since she left and asia locked herself in her room refusing to come out nor see anyone . no matter how many times the brunette called and begged her to atleast eat something and get some things for her bruise

genevieve sighed deeply running her hands through her hair leaning her head onto her palms , a oncoming migraine approaching

she glanced at her phone that just laid there on the contour, she had called bellarosa's phone for the millionth time yet it went straight to voicemail . sure she was disappointed and in shock about her actions but bellarosa was her wife and she worried over her constantly

the brunette tapped her fingers against the white marble contour as she contemplated to try and call her cell again even if her mind was telling her it would go straight to voicemail like it did everytime she tried—yet she couldn't resist and picked up her phone clicking on the taller woman's name holding the phone to her ear

it ringed and ringed as the brunette waited anxiously for it to go through , she leaned her elbows onto the contour as she knawed on her lip impatiently

than the line went once again to voicemail

genevieve groaned putting her phone down running her hands over her face in frustration

she stood up straight with the coffee in her hold as she made her way to asia's room , she stood infront of the oak door as she knocked

"asia i know you can hear me , can you please open the door" genevieve pleaded leaning her forehead against the door

still no answer

the brunette clenched her jaw as irritation slowly filled her body "i tried being nice to you even if you treated me like some low life...if you want to be trapped in your room and sulk , so be it i'm done trying to help you" she put the cup of coffee onto the ground , on her way back to her own room

but the sound of the door unlocking and cracking open made the brunette pause in her step , she turned her head to see the room door creaked open

the brunette sighed once again walking to the woman's room taking the coffee as she entered the room

there sat asia on the edge of her bed , the brunette looked over her in concern . the woman looked like a mess with her night clothes ruffled out and hair in a messy pony , her eyes blood red and puffy and the evident deep bruise around her neck

genevieve frowned at the sight of the usual well put together woman as she neared her "here , i'll get some cream for the bruise" she handed the woman the coffee as asia slowly took it from the brunette with her eyes not moving from the ground

after the brunette went to fetch the supplies for the woman's bruise , she sat next to her applying the cream around her neck gently and carefully
"last night was unexpected for all..." started the brunette off watching the older woman scoff lightly with a small roll of her eyes

genevieve shook her head "i know that look" she finished applying the necessary on the woman's neck standing up "you fully blaming her for everything" the brunette walked over to the insuite bathroom putting the supplies away

"surely we both saw what happened" mumbled asia drinking the coffee

now it was the brunette's turn to scoff "and you think she was the only one at fault?" she raised her brow crossing her arms "you provoked her when you knew she was still heavily intoxicated and already pissed off , you saw first hand how she was when she had her episodes"

"but to put her hands on me was not justified" said asia

"yet saying the day she was born ruined your life was justified? asia stop being a hypocrite" the brunette sighed out

"from what she had told me of what you done to her since her childhood was not what a real mother would do to her child" asia chuckled bitterly standing up to place the empty cup on the night stand

"i was raised how i raised her , what did you expect me to do? treat her indifferently? when she was not suppose to be here , i wasted my whole life being locked in a marriage and being a mother" the brunette hardened her gaze

"see this is the type of things you say that leads to stuff like that happening to you" she pointed her head to the woman's bruise "you were raised like that yes—but anyone in your position would try and break that generation cycle so that your child would not live through what you had to go through" asia stilled as the words she was about to say swallowed back into her throat

she knew the brunette was telling the truth even if she didn't admit it aloud

"you went as far as to manipulate your own husband into tagging into tormenting her when you knew she had a much closer bond with him than you , now that was low even for you to admit it" genevieve's brown eyes showed the evident disappointment

"do you even know a thing about your daughter?did you know she adored william shakespeare's books? did you know she absolutely loved james bond movies? do you know she loves talking and inventing new projects that is way ahead of our time?" asia felt tears blur her eyes

"she blushes everytime she realizes she rambles alot , she gets excited when she does anything that doesn't involve this empire or the mafia world . her love language is physical touch and words of affirmation because she didn't receive neither from both her parents" those words hit asia like a truck as she felt the remorse in her heart

"and because of both you and alejandro's absence almost the whole of her life , she has separation anxiety whenever i'm not near her , she has ptsd that sometimes lead her to having panic attacks if  she woke up from her sleep" the brunette continued

"all these things i noticed and i hadn't known her for that long—yet the time i've spent each time with her made me realize no matter how you and alejandro tried shaping her into this emotionless killing machine , she was still that hopeful little girl waiting for the day that anyone would see her as more than that . as just bellarosa" genevieve didn't feel bad for her words as it was time for the woman to know the truth even if it was harsh

"alejandro had atleast tried to make amends and try fixing his relationship with bells that you broke , why continue your ways to your already traumatized daughter? it won't benefit you in any way and it will only bite you in the ass at the end" the brunette looked over the crying woman , she shook her head tiredly

"so please asia...sit and think for once , i'll come back to change your bandages" with that the brunette left the room , leaving the older woman alone with her thoughts
