Chapter Thirty Eight

                                    

                                          
It was three days before the wedding and Arabella was supposed to be pick out her wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses.
                          
Rafael and Valentino came with them for extra protection although Antonio had already sent three extra cars too.
                          
Somehow, Antonio was set up in babysitting Giovanni and at first resisted until Arabella told him that it would just be practice for their children and that shut him up real fast.
                          
She also knew there was a very good chance that she's pregnant considering Antonio would take her whenever he was with her.
                          
Although, that was kind of her fault, he was being possessive over her and Arabella got annoyed so she once again used the Santiago card which only resulted in her hurting his feelings so to make it up to him, Arabella told him he could have her in any way he wanted, whenever he wanted.
                          
She just didn't think he'd take it so seriously. One thing Arabella learned is that Antonio hates condoms and he told her that he'll never use any.
                          
She still doesn't know how she feels about possibly being pregnant. Antonio said he wanted a big family and that's fine with her, but she just didn't know if she wanted one so soon.
                          
One good thing about Antonio always being with Arabella, is that she got used to his roughness really fast so normally, he'll come and take his frustrations out on her in bed. It was honestly the best sex she's had with him.
                          
Sofia took them to this mall she always used to go to. She told them that there were really great boutiques which had what Arabella was looking for.
                          
They finally arrived and Sofia led them to a dress store filled with wedding dresses.
                          
An assistant manager came to greet them before bringing out some of her best dresses.
                          
"I don't know, you guys. These just don't seem like me."
                          
The girls agreed while the men would talk to each other or be bored out of their minds.
                          
"Maybe you should take a look around for yourself, you might see something you like," Daniela suggested.
                          
Arabella nodded her head and walked around the store. Nothing really caught her eye until she saw it.
                          
The perfect dress.
                          
It was squished between two others but it was absolutely perfect.
                          
She pulled it off the rack and went into the changing room.
                          
She looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned. The dress hugged her curves perfectly.
                          
It was slim fitting, although the train was plain, it had a slit and it made her feel like a princess, while the top had the slightest of patterns on it, only visible if you stand in front of her. It was off the shoulder, but still modest.
                          
She walked out and all of the girls gasped. "You look beautiful, Bella. Antonio won't be able to keep his hands off of you," Rafael commented. And Valentino agreed with a smirk, wiggling his eyebrows. 
                          
Arabella rolled her eyes at him playfully and changed back into her clothes. Everyone said they were hungry so they all went to the food court while she quickly stopped in front of a pharmacy.
                          
She grabbed three pregnancy tests, paid for it and stuffed it in her hand bag.
                          
She then found her way to the food court and watched as Daniela fought over her food which Valentino tried to eat and laughed.
                          
Rafael was helping Adrianna sit, pushing in her chair but she couldn't find Sofia.
                          
Arabella looked around confused before her eyes settled on a figure.
                          
Sofia.
                          
Something seemed off about her. She was frozen, looking at something in the distance but her face showed shock and hurt.
                          
"Sof? What's wrong, honey?" Arabella asked, drawing her attention.
                          
"He... He's here," Sofia gasped, her eyes tearing.
                          
"Who?" Arabella asked, looking at where she was. It was then that she saw icey blue eyes staring back at Sofia.
                          
It finally registered in Arabella's mind.
                          
The man rolled his eyes at Sofia and walked away. "Sof, you don't need him. Come on, let's get back to the group."
                          
She slowly nodded her head but couldn't take her eyes off the spot the man was previously standing.
                          
"You guys ready to go home?" Rafael asked before taking whatever bags the girls had, to carry.
