Bella's eyes widened in shock as Natasha introduced herself as Jr's future wife. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Jr had never mentioned anything about being engaged, and Bella couldn't understand why he would keep such a huge secret from her.
Natasha's laughter echoed through the room, making Bella feel even more uncomfortable. "Us?" Natasha repeated, raising an eyebrow. "You mean you're part of the family?"
Bella hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Before she could say anything, the girls walked into the room, looking curious. "She's our mom," they chimed in unison, looking up at Bella with adoring eyes.
Natasha's expression changed, her eyes narrowing as she looked at Bella with a mixture of surprise and disdain. "You're the one they call mom and who are you to jr?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Bella felt a surge of defensiveness, but she tried to remain calm. "I take care of the girls," she explained. "They've been through a lot, and I'm just trying to help them feel safe and loved."
Natasha snorted, rolling her eyes. "How quaint," she said. "But let me make one thing clear: I'm Jr's fiancée, and I won't let anyone come between us."
Bella felt a pang of hurt, but she tried not to show it. She didn't know what was going on, but she knew she had to protect the girls.
Bella felt a sense of unease as Natasha stood up, her eyes glinting with malice. She knew she had to be careful, for the sake of the girls and herself.
