His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Eva opened the car door, got in and slammed it back as it made a loud noise in the process.

“So much for giving you fifteen minutes.” Bella said, ignoring what she had just done as she glared at her.

“Why did you call me here?” Eva asked, ignoring her statement and Bella rolled her eyes.

“Whatever it is, must be good.” She said again.

“Must you always prove that you’re a bitch?” Bella asked with a little frown.

“Go straight to the point, Bella.” Eva said, exasperated as she glared harshly at her.

Bella took in a deep breath with closed eyes as she prepared herself for what she was about to say.

“Anyways, I called you here for a good reason, and that is to settle the differences between us.” Bella explained but Eva remained silent.

“I want us to be friends.” She blurted out.

“Are you drunk or something?” Eva inquired, looking muddled.

“Do I look drunk to you?” Bella scoffed out as she rolled her eyes.

“I’m confused here, explain better.” Eva said, turning to face Bella completely.

“What is there to be confused about? I have come to realize that we shouldn’t always be found arguing and pissing each other off., besides you’re my brother’s girlfriend, so for the sake of my brother, I want us to stop whatever conflict we have with each other.” Bella enunciated and Eva sat there, lips parted in shock before she finally broke into a wide grin.

“Do you seriously mean this, or you’re just pulling my legs?” Eva said, wiping the grin off her face, replacing it with uncertainty.

“Do I look like I’m joking? I meant everything I said, from the depth of my heart.” Bella said, pointing to where her heart was located.

“I can’t believe this, but what made you change your mind about me all of a sudden?” Eva asked, staring suspiciously at her.

“I stated my reasons earlier, didn’t I? And again, Lillian asked me to make peace with you, giving me reasons why I should. I thought about it for some time and finally decided to do this, so here I am.” Bella replied as she shrugged.

“I still can’t believe this.” Eva breathed out, still in shock.

“You’ve got to believe it, baby.” Bella said in a smile.

“So, can we start all over again and be friends?” She asked, raising a brow.

“I will think about it.” Eva spatted out.

“What is there to think about? Not like I am trying to ask you out.” Bella said a little sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

“Bella, if you seriously want us to be friends, then you have to let me think about it. I’ll give you a reply soon.” Eva replied, resting back on the seat.

“Alright, if you say so. I’ll be patiently waiting.” Bella agreed after a while.

“Yes sweetheart. See you soon.” Eva said in a wink and got down from the car. Bella started the car and drove off.

“Lalalalala, I am so in love with today.” Eva sang continuously as she entered the sitting room before she sank to the couch.

“Hey! Why do you look so happy?” Aria inquired, but she didn’t reply her. She just continued singing her song.

“Has Don finally popped the big question?” Aria said again, and this time she got Eva’s attention because Eva stopped singing and rolled her eyes.

“Something fantastic favored me today and for your information, he didn’t pop any question.” Eva replied the last part with a sigh.

“Anyways…..” Eva stressed and flipped her hair.

“Guess what?” She asked with a small smile.

“What?” Aria asked back.

“I asked you to guess.” Eva said as she rolled her eyes.

“Fine.” Aria said, thinking for a while.

“You finally got ways to get rid of Lillian Blake.” She suggested, but she got a disappointed face from Eva.

“You’re wrong, but I will still tell you.” Eva said as she sat up.

“Bella apologized.” There were seconds of silence with Aria staring at Eva with a plain look as it slowly turned into a perplexed look.

“Bella? Apologized? I don’t get.” Aria said, confused as she chuckled lightly.

“Bella apologized.” Eva repeated, this time with a wide grin.

“Do you mean Don’s sister? Or is there any other Bella you know that I don’t?” Aria asked, still confused.

“Which other Bella would I be referring to? Of course, it’s Don’s sister.” Eva rolled her eyes as she spoke.

“Wait a minute, you mean Bella Dean apologized? Like, I’m confused here.” Aria said as realization dawned on her.

“She called me up today and said she was sorry for how she has been so rude and arrogant towards me, and also wants us to start afresh as friends.” Eva explained with her grin wider than before.

“Are you being serious here, Eva because the Bella you and I know wouldn’t say these things.” Aria said doubtfully as she demonstrated slightly with her finger.

“I also thought she was pulling a stunt on me, not until she made mention of that bitch Don got married to, saying, she asked her to make peace with me and things like that.” Eva replied and rolled her eyes.

“This really sounds unbelievable to me.” Aria expressed in a surprised tone.

“Yeah, it does to me too.” Eva said as she nodded her head in agreement.

“So, what was your reply?” Aria inquired with a smile.

“I asked her to give me time to think about it and I would reply soon enough.” Eva replied, crossing her legs against each other.

“Did she say anything else?” Aria asked in anticipation as she adjusted forward.

“Yeah, she agreed and said she will wait patiently until I’m ready.” Eva replied, flicking her hair in a smile. She just couldn’t control her happiness.

“And do you plan to accept the offer?” Aria asked, raising a brow.

“You’re acting like an amateur right now. I mean, who wouldn’t accept such?” Eva said, rolling her eyeballs.

“I will accept it and guess what?” She said again now smiling.

“Tell me already, I’m not good at guessing.” Aria groaned out.

Eva chuckled as she rested back on the couch and crossed her legs.

“I’ll be using one stone to kill two birds to get what I want.” She said as she laughed hysterically like a witch before replacing it with a smirk.

“Wow!” Aria muttered, nodding her head in a knowing smile as she stared at her friend.

“Yeah.” Eva said, smiling back. She was sure going to use this to her advantage.

“Seriously Fred, I’m fine.” Lillian said as she walked freely to the living room.

“You don’t sound fine enough to me.” Fred’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone.

“How was I supposed to sound?” She said, laughing for a while.

“You got married in anger, remember?” Fred reminded and she sighed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“And how do you know that?” She asked back as she finally sank into the couch.

“It was written over you, darling.” Fred replied with a chuckle.

“You’re right about that anyway but now, I’m fine. Trust me.” She said, clicking her tongue.

“Has your husband been treating you right?” Fred asked, sounding concerned.

“And if he doesn’t, would you beat him up?” She joked with a little smile.

“I might as well do that, anything for my little sister.” Fred said, making her burst into laughter.

“I bet he doesn’t even talk to you.” Fred stated again, interrupting her laughter.

“It’s from both sides because I also don’t talk to him either.” Lillian replied with a shrug.

“But, on a serious note, Lillian, are you happy over there?” Fred asked with his voice sounding more concerned.

“How many times would I answer to that?” Lillian replied, rolling her eyes.

“As long as you tell me the truth.” Fred replied.

“I’ve been telling the truth, I’m fine here.” Lillian said, nodding like he could see her.

“Does his sister treat you well?” Fred asked, and it made her chuckle.

“Yeah, she does. She has been really nice, and we’ve been good.” Lillian replied, smiling a little.

“Why are you asking all these, Fred? You should listen when I said I’m fine.” She said again before he could say another word.

“I need to be certain my sister is in good hands and treated like the princess she is.” Fred replied and she smiled.

“Enough talk about me now, let’s talk about you, mom and dad. How is everyone, and most especially, mom’s health?” She asked, diverting the topic.

“Everyone is fine and mom is getting better.” Fred replied, realizing what she just did but decided to overlook it.

“Are you sure?” She asked to confirm.

“You don’t have to worry, she is fine now Lillian, at least she is responding to treatment and the doctor said she will get back on her feet soon enough.” Fred explained and she sighed in relief.

“Okay, if you say so. My regards to everyone.” She said, nodding slightly.

“Sure.” Fred said, and she ended the call as she adjusted properly on the couch.
