His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Bella poured in wine into her cup as she gulped it all at once. She was at the bar drinking after her encounter with Eva.

She poured another content into the cup and this time, she took a sip. She dropped the glass cup back on the table and clicked her tongue in a small sigh.

“Hey!” She heard from behind and turned.

“Hi!” She said, turning back to concentrate on her drink.

“What are you doing now?” Rex asked, coming to sit beside her.

“I’m just chilling out here.” She replied tiredly as she took another gulp.

“Without me?” He asked, raising a brow, and she chuckled.

He took out a glass cup from the bar and poured wine into it.

“So, what happened? You look quite upset.” He said again after taking a sip.

Bella glanced at him and let out a long sigh.

“It’s just that I have a bad feeling about Eva coming here to stay. I mean, why would she come here to stay when my brother clearly has a wife?” She said more like a question as she pouted cutely.

“She is staying?” Rex asked, sounding surprised.

“Yeah, she is.” She breathed out, frustratingly.

“Then I don’t see anything wrong. I mean, this isn’t the first time she’s doing this, right?” Rex said in a shrug as he took another sip of his wine.

“I know that, but then, he wasn’t married. She was the only one for him back then, but now, he is a married man that lives here with his wife.” Bella explained, glancing at him.

“Alright, you might be right about that. So, what is the boss saying?” He agreed with a little nod as he turned to face her.

“I don’t know, I haven’t confronted him yet.” She replied, taking another sip of her wine.

“Then do and find out what his opinion is, even though it’s obvious that he isn’t bothered about it.” Rex replied, twirling his cup on the table.

“I just hope he is.” She groaned out, looking frustrated.

Just then, they heard someone walking down the stairs. They both turned to see Don walking down, majestically.

“Seems like we’ll continue this later.” He said to only Bella’s hearing as he left his seat immediately and rushed to his boss.

He collected the briefcase he was holding and walked out of the house.

Bella ran to her brother right before he could walk completely out of the house.

She blocked his way and he lifted his gaze to her.

“Anything the problem?” Don asked, tilting his head to the side.

“Won’t you say anything about Eva’s visit here?” She asked sternly as she folded her hands underneath her boobs.

“There’s nothing to say about it.” He replied nonchalantly.

“Of course there is. You can’t allow your side chick to stay in the same house with your wife.” She explained in a light scoff, trying to make him see the reasons.

“Bella, like I said before, there’s nothing to discuss on this issue and as you can see, I was heading out when you blocked my way, so if you would excuse me, I’ll proceed my journey.” Don said in a final tone.

“But Don…” Bella whined like a child but was stopped by Don, who raised a hand to her.

“Don’t make this issue exceed more than this.” He said and walked past her out of the house.

Bella groaned out loud as she clicked her tongue in anger.

She breathed out and walked back to the bar to see her phone ringing on the table where she dropped it earlier. She took it up after seeing the caller and exhaled sharply.

“Hey Lillian!” She said, taking her previous seat.

“Bella, please, I need your help.” Lillian’s voice was heard.

“What is it? And where are you? I noticed you weren’t at home.” Bella said, with her anger subsiding into worry.

“Yes, I’m not at home presently, and that’s because I’ve been kidnapped.” Lillian replied, more like a whisper.

“What?!” Bella yelled as she sprang up on her feet.

“Where are you right now?” She asked again.

“Hello?” She said again when she didn’t hear anything from Lillian.

“Lillian, are you there?” She said again, but there was no reply . She brought down the phone to see the call had been aborted.

“Oh my goodness! What has happened?” She muttered to herself, getting scared of the situation.

************

Lillian stared at her phone, which was now shattered beside the wall. She took her gaze back to the man who had shattered it, with anger replacing her terrified expression.

“What was that for?!” She yelled out in anger. She was beginning to breathe heavily by the time she was done.

“Who were you speaking with?” Mark asked with a very dreadful look that got her scared once again.

“Who I was speaking with is none of your business. Now tell me, why the hell you shattered my phone on the wall?” She half yelled, trying not to let his expression frighten her.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“It is my business as long as you are with me. And for the reason I shattered that phone, I think you know that. There’s no way I’ll let them know that you’re with me.” He said, crouching to her level on the bed.

Lillian opened her mouth to say something, but it just seemed like the words refused to come.

“Lillian, I guess you still don’t know, you’re mine and mine alone.” He emphasized with a small nod.

“There’s no way I’ll let you go again.” He said and stood up. He picked up the shopping bags he had brought in earlier and kept them beside the bed.

“Change into any of the clothes inside, you’ve worn this for too long.” He said, again referring to the clothes she was wearing. He stared at her for some seconds before turning to leave.

He heard some rustling behind him and turned to see her leaving the bed.

He tried to leave again thinking she wanted to change her clothes, but he halted.

“Where are you going?” He asked, seeing she was wearing her footwear.

“I’m going home! I’ve had enough of this madness!” She voiced out loudly.

He wrinkled his forehead confused and before he could get a hold of the whole situation, she was out of the room. He ran after her immediately as he tried to catch up with her, but she was a little faster.

“Hey, stop!” He yelled after her, but she paid deaf ears.

“I asked you to stop right now!” He yelled out again, increasing his pace.

Lillian rushed down the stairs as fast as she could, but it was too late for her as he had already caught up with her.

He grabbed her hand to stop her, but she opposed, struggling to break free from his tight hold.

“Stop this madness.” He yelled out and left her hand in anger.

She missed a step and fell as she began rolling down the stairs. She tumbled down the floor in her pool of blood.
