His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Lillian, this is Drake, the one who saved your life.” Bella introduced pointing at Drake who just stood on the balcony with them while they sat down.

“Really?” Lillian’s face lit up, and she dropped her glass cup of juice on the small table.

“Yeah.” Bella replied with a nod.

“Hi Drake! I heard what you did for me, and I’m so grateful to you.” Lillian stated as she demonstrated her hands.

“It was nothing, after all it’s my duty.” Drake replied with a slight bow.

“It actually meant something to me.” Lillian said with a smile, ignoring the last part of his statement even though she wanted to ask about it.

“Alright. Now you know him, I would also love to tell you that he would be your new coach for the driving lessons.” Bella said to Lillian who was now staring at her and Lillian turned back to Drake.

“Is he?” She asked to be certain.

“Yeah. Trust me, he is good at these things, and he would continue from where I stopped.” Bella explained, sipping her juice.

“Okay.” Lillian replied with a nod.

“So Drake, this is Lillian. I introduced her to you already before.” Bella said, pointing to Lillian.

“Yeah.” Drake muttered in a small nod.

“Nice to meet you, Drake.” Lillian said, stretching forth her hands for a handshake.

“My pleasure.” He said, accepting the handshake, but he withdrew almost immediately.

“When do we start?” Lillian said, sipping her juice as she stared at Drake who had his eyes everywhere else but not her.

He was already finding it awkward with her stares.

“Tomorrow.” Bella replied with a smile, noticing what was going on.

“You can go now.” Bella said to Drake as she turned to him, and Drake did as told.

“He is really handsome.” Lillian giggled and Bella laughed, finding it amusing.

“Was that why you almost tore his skin with your gaze?” Bella said with a puzzled look.

“You wouldn’t blame me, one has to satisfy the eyes when it sees something good.” Lillian said, bitting her lower lip as she took another sip of her juice.

Bella laughed and also picked up her cup, sipping the juice.

“Are you a pervert, then?” Bella said when she dropped her glass cup.

“I’m not a pervert, I was just stating the fact.” Lillian said in a shrug.

“Alright, then, do you find my brother handsome?” Bella said smiling.

“I haven’t checked him out since we got married, but I will do that soon.” Lillian said the last part with a wink, and Bella couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re crazy Lillian.” Bella commented and she joined in the laughter.

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

Bella horned at the gate and a boy opened the small gate, coming towards her car. She whined down the glass as he walked up to her. He saw who she was and, not bothering to ask questions like his boss had asked him to always do, he opened the gate and Bella drove in.

She parked and alighted the car with her purse hanging on her shoulder.

“Hey Bella!” Boys from different angles waved and she waved back.

“Is my brother around?” She said to one of the boys at the entrance of the house.

“Yes, he is.” He replied, paving way for her.

She nodded and went in. She looked around the house, and it was still the same as when she always came there, nothing changed.

She finally proceeded upstairs and went to where she knows she would find him, which was his private room. She typed a code and the door opened automatically. She went in and closed it back.

Don turned immediately he heard the door beep and when he saw it was his sister, he continued what he was doing.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, opening the box containing wrapped cocaine as he picked out one and unwrapped it.

“Is it bad if I come to see you?” Bella asked back as she found her way to the remaining couch in the room, which was opposite her brother’s. She sat down majestically as she tossed her purse to the side and crossed her legs.

“It’s been quite long you came here, so l have the right to ask.” He replied, dividing the substance into six.

“Tch, like you even have a right.” Bella scoffed out and Don glared at her.

“If you came here for your gibberish, then you can as well leave because I’m not desiring it.” Don warned with another glare, making Bella throw the chair’s pillow at him, and it disrupted what he was doing. Don paused and glared at his sister, more harsh than the others.

“You know you should consider yourself lucky you’re my sister, else your head would have rolling on the ground by now.” Don said with a rough voice as he started over again, but she felt less perturbed.

“Tell me what you’re doing here, Bella before I have my boys throw you out.” Don said again, inhaling the substance as he stared at his sister before taking his gaze back to the things on the table.

“Would you really do that to me?” Bella said nonchalantly.

“You know what I’m capable of doing.” Don replied lowly.

“Then you must be a jerk like she said.” Bella said, eyeing him for a moment.

“And who is she?” Don demanded as he glanced at her.

“I mustn’t tell you everything.” Bella replied with a lopsided smile, and Don scoffed.

“Get out!” He ordered.

“Huh? You’re asking me out?” Bella feigned shock with her hands on her chest.

“Yeah. Do that now before I order you to be thrown out.” Don replied also sending the signal with his eyes.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay. Sorry if you’re getting pissed, but I have something important to tell you.” Bella said, but Don didn’t say a word, and she decided to continue.

“It’s about my trip, I want us to have reconsideration on it.” She said, sounding serious.

“What’s there to consider? We already discussed everything and you agreed.” Don replied now staring at her keenly.

“Yeah, yeah, but there’s a slight change now.” Bella sang out, waving her hand in front of him.

“I want us to have a deal.” She said again with a smirk.

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

Mark opened his eyes and sat up. He checked the time, and it was midday already. He turned to the other side of the bed, but didn’t find the bitch he brought home.

She came out of the restroom shortly with a night gown as she walked seductively towards him on the bed.

“Hey babe! Did you enjoy your sleep?” She said, trying to straddle him on the bed, but he pushed her away and she almost fell if not that she held the cabinet.

Mark stretched to the other cabinet and brought out some cash, throwing it at her.

“Take that and get out!” He said lowly and stood up.

“But babe, I want more or didn’t you enjoy it?” She said as she came closer again, rubbing his back seductively.

“Don’t you want to ……….” She was stopped by Mark, who pushed her to the wall as he held her neck with his eyeballs as red as a fireball.

“And who the heck is your babe?” He growled at her face.

“Please,,,,,, stop,,,,, please” She managed to say as she tried to push his hands off, but he was way stronger than her.

“Get lost now before I open my eyes.” Mark said as he released her, and she rubbed her neck, almost choking in her cough.

She hurriedly picked up her bag from the floor, not bothering about the money, and ran out.

Mark picked the money up and threw it on the bed. He entered the restroom and came out minutes later.

His phone buzzed, and he went to check who it was. He unlocked it and read the message. He scoffed when he saw the same message he’s been receiving for days now. The same message that offered to help him get back at Lillian for what she did to him.

He threw the phone on the bed and sat down.

“I don’t need anybody’s help, I know what to do if I want to get her back.” He said to himself in a dangerous smirk.
