His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“It’s a beautiful sunny morning. It’s time for a new smile. It’s a new day for just the two of us…..” She sang out loud, dancing softly to the rhythm as she rounded up her cooking.

“Oh my goodness! This is one of the best smells I’ve had in a while. What do we have?” Bella said, walking into the kitchen.

Lillian paused her song as she turned to glance at her with a smile before glancing back at what she was doing.

“So, what are we having for breakfast?” Bella repeated, stretching forward over her shoulder to stare into the pot.

“Huevos Rotos Con Chorizo,” Lillian replied, turning off the cooker.

“Get the plates ready.” She added, turning to one of the maids who was in the kitchen with her all this while.

“Hmm, another Spanish dish. I can’t wait to have a taste.” Bella blurted out, wondering what it would taste like.

“You would have a taste, but first, we need to eat as a family, which means your brother has to come down for breakfast,” Lillian explained as she started dishing out the food on the well-arranged plates on the island.

“Then I’ll do that right away.” Bella chimed in.

“The maids can do that, you know.” Lillian tried to oppose glancing at her.

“Nah, I insist. I don’t want a situation where he refuses to come down, and it wouldn’t be fair if he doesn’t consider the amount of energy you might have put into this, but if I go, he’ll come along because I’ll make sure to drag him down here.” Bella explained with emphasis, and Lillian nodded her head in understanding.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright, then I’ll quickly make the tea.” She said, and Bella turned to go.

“Wait!” Lillian called out.

“Coffee or tea, which does your brother prefer?” She asked, pausing on her movements. She was done serving the food on the plates.

“Both are fine to him, but you choose the one you think is best for your husband,” Bella replied, winking at the end of her statement before walking out of the kitchen immediately.

She took up the stairs leading to her brother’s room and knocked when she got to the door.

There was no response. She scoffed and decided to go in without permission.

She opened the door and almost immediately, she halted her steps as yet another loud scoff left her lips with her forehead wrinkled up in a frown.

The sight in front of her was something she never wished to see, especially not so early in the morning.

It seemed like the people on the bed noticed her presence because, in the next few seconds, their eyes were fixed on her.

“What the heck, Bella!” Don muttered as he left his position under Eva, while Eva fought to rumple up the massive blanket to cover up her stark naked self.

“Can’t you knock?” She half yelled, looking taken aback by what just happened.

Bella just caught them having a make-out session and Don was busy sucking her V area while she moaned in ecstasy.

“Of course, I did knock, but I guess you both were too busy doing something so unholy so early that you didn’t hear.” Bella voiced out, eyeing Eva on the bed disgustedly.

“Anyway, when you’re done, you might as well come downstairs for breakfast.” She said now, taking her gaze to her brother as she made sure to glare at him with hostility before walking out of the room.

“Tch” She hissed out, halting midway in the hallway.

“This is crazy.” She muttered to herself as she continued her journey downstairs.

The table was already set when she got there, so she just drew out a seat for herself and slumped on it.

Lillian came to join with a jug of tea in her hand. She was done in the kitchen.

“Where is he?” She asked, glancing at the entrance of the dining room as she poured tea into the various cups on the table.

“Let’s eat,” Bella muttered, uncovering her food almost immediately.

Lillian’s brows furrowed, confused as she stared at her with a tilted head. She suspected there was something wrong, looking at Bella’s sudden cold attitude.

“We should wait for him to arrive first, right?” She asked, raising a brow.

“That won’t be necessary because I think he won’t come anytime soon. He is too busy.” Bella muttered the last part inaudibly, so Lillian didn’t hear.

She picked up her fork beside the plate and dug in, not waiting for any other thing.

“Why? Did you both argue?” Lillian queried, raising a brow as she dropped the jug in the middle of the table.

“Look, I understand you’re getting worried for him, but I don’t…..” Bella tried saying out of frustration, but Don interrupted her with his presence.

Behind him was Eva, who scoffed inwardly upon sighting Lillian. She followed Don as she took the seat next to him.

Lillian’s facial expression changed immediately to what couldn’t be explained. She didn’t say a word as she just took a seat next to Bella’s, uncovered her food, and began to eat.

Bella didn’t mind any of them in the dining room, as she only focused on her food. Just like she expected, it was delicious.

“And what the heck is this?” They all heard from Eva, and they turned to glance at her, including Don.

She had uncovered her food and was staring into the food like it was some sort of poison.

“What is this?” She repeated, glancing at the maid standing in the room.

“It’s called Huevos Rotos Con Chorizo.” Lillian chipped in as she wiped her lips with the serviette.

“And what in the hell is that?” Eva queried now turning her hostile glare at her.

“It’s food, a Spanish dish at that.” She responded in a ‘duh’ tone.

“Who gave you the permission to prepare such an abominable thing this morning?” Eva shrieked in shock.

“She doesn’t need permission to prepare anything in this house, as it is her home. Unlike you, who keeps intruding on our lives with your presence.” Bella interrupted, dropping her fork and took a sip of her tea.

“It doesn’t justify the nonsense that’s in front of me right now. Gosh, so irritating.” Eva lashed back and pushed the food away from her.

“Eva…” Don’s cold voice called out quietly.

She turned her gaze to stare at him as the others too focused on him.

“You should stop all this, there is nothing wrong with the food.” He said, glancing at her, and it made her scoff.

“You don’t expect me to eat this, do you?” Eva spat out, staring surprised at Don for his peculiar outburst.

“You should…… because I asked you to. And this is where the issue dies.” He finalized with an air of command before he went back to eating.

Eva clenched her knuckles in a tight fist under the table. She was fuming mad but tried to conceal it by bringing back the food to herself as she began to pick on it.

Smiles appeared on both Bella’s and Lillian’s faces, especially Lillian, who couldn’t help to think that Don just supported her. He defended her food, so indirectly he defended her.

There was silence for minutes and only the clicking of cutlery together with the plates was heard, not until Eva decided to break it.

“I have news for you.” She said, clearing her throat as she dropped her fork on the plate.

Only Lillian glanced up at her, but just for a few seconds as she took a sip of her tea and focused back on her food. The rest just continued eating their food, including Don, even though he was listening.

Eva noticed nobody paid attention to her, but she just decided to say it anyway.

“I’m pregnant.”
