His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Lillian hummed her favorite song as she prepared bacon and eggs for breakfast. She didn’t know why, but she woke up early this morning feeling happy and energized, and she decided to make breakfast for the family.

She added seasoning to the eggs in the pan and reduced the heat of the cooker. She tried to pack up the items she had used but Aurora, the only maid left in the kitchen, stopped her. Lillian had asked all the maids out, but Aurora insisted on staying, so she just left her.

“Let me help you with that, ma’am.” Aurora said in a smile.

“Thank you.” Lillian replied as she returned the smile and Aurora took it up from her.

“When you’re done, could you please help me make the tea?” Lillian asked, turning to face her.

“Sure ma’am.” Aurora replied with a little nod.

Lillian turned off the cooker as she served the bacon and eggs on three different plates. She garnished it with fresh chopped parsley leaf and took the plates to the dinning table, with Aurora helping her with two of the plates.

They dropped it on the dinning and Aurora went back to the kitchen to bring the tea jug and other things.

Bella walked into the dinning room looking taken aback after seeing the table already set.

“You’re here already?” She asked in surprise.

“Good morning.” Lillian said instead flashing her a light smile. Aurora came back and kept the things on the table. Lillian poured the tea into the teacups beside the plates and kept the jug in the middle of the table.

“Did you make this?” Bella asked, still staring at the things on the table in amazement.

“What does it look like to you?” Lillian asked back as she rolled her eyes.

“Wow! I can’t wait to have a taste.” Bella said and settled down, placing the meal properly in front of her. Lillian also sat down and they started eating.

“Is that for my brother?” Bella asked after she noticed the third plate.

“Yeah, just in case he comes down for breakfast.” Lillian replied as she glanced at Bella.

“I just decided to make breakfast for the family, and he happens to be part of it.” Lillian said again when she saw a questioning look on Bella’s face.

“So, you finally accept that you’re a part of this family?” Bella asked in a surprised smile.

“I don’t have a choice.” Lillian uttered lowly with her eyes not leaving her food.

“Can we just stop this conversation and focus on our food?” Lillian said, already feeling uncomfortable. She always feels uncomfortable each time she’s reminded that she’s married.

“Sure and by the way, this tastes great.” Bella complimented, focusing back on her meal.

“Thank you.” Lillian said as she flashed her a small smile.

“Good morning sir.” Aurora, who stood behind them, greeted, and their attention drifted to Don, who was just entering the house. Lillian took her gaze back to her food.

“Why don’t you come and join us for breakfast? It’s being long we ate as a family.” Bella blurted out loud enough for him to hear. He paused for a few seconds before he tried proceeding his journey upstairs, but he was stopped again by Bella’s plea.

“Please, do this for your little sister. Come on now, it’s getting cold already.” Bella pouted cutely, even if he couldn’t see her face.

Don turned back, coming to the dinning, as he took a seat. Lillian took a quick glance at him and took a sip of her tea.

Aurora uncovered the food and placed a fork and knife beside the plate. He took it up and started taking a little bit of the food.

Bella stared at both Don and Lillian and smiled, but that didn’t last for long because it was changed to a straight look.

Lillian took a last sip of her tea and stood up. Aurora came to her immediately and packed up her plates.

“You’re done?” Bella asked, raising a brow.

“Yes, I’ll be upstairs in my room.” Lillian replied as she pushed the chair backwards and walked out before shifting it back near the table.

“Ummm, are you going to leave me here with this boring brother of mine?” Bella said, and Don scoffed silently from where he sat.

“I’m upstairs in my room, when you’re done, you can meet me there.” Lillian said with a little shrug.

“But I don’t want you to leave me here. Just stay here until I’m done, then we can go together.” Bella said, shaking her head in disagreement.

“Fine.” Lillian breathed out and sat back on the chair, making Bella smile.

Eva came in afterward and cat walked towards them. She paused for a moment after seeing Lillian. She rolled her eyes as she continued to walk towards Don.

“Hey babe!” She kissed Don on his cheek.

“How was your night?” She said again trying to spite Lillian, but Lillian didn’t look like she cared.

“What are you doing here so early, Eva?” Don uttered lowly.

“Of course, I came to see my darling boyfriend.” She cooed in a smile as she pushed his meal aside and partially forced herself to stand at his front in a way that Don’s face was hardly seen.

“And as you can see, your darling boyfriend is happily having breakfast with his lovely wife and sister, and he doesn’t need an invalid distraction.” Bella said pissing her off, but she concealed it with a fake smile.

“I saw that too, but they didn’t seem happy as you claimed.” She said back as she left Don and faced Bella.

“Well, that’s because you showed your ugly face, and we became sad immediately, you know, after knowing the kind of bad luck it’s going to bring today.”

“That’s enough Bella.” Don interfered coldly.

“Let’s go.” He stood up, taking Eva’s hand and they headed upstairs.

“You know, you shouldn’t have said all those things to her.” Lillian said, bringing Bella’s attention to her.

“Huh? She deserved everything I said to her and even more.” Bella said in defense.

“Don’t you think you went too far with it?” Lillian asked slightly raising her brows.

“Too far? You’re saying this because you don’t know how bitchy that lady is, right?” Bella asked, also raising her brows.

“It doesn’t matter. She’s just being jealous and has every right to react that way. Your brother is her boyfriend, remember?” Lillian said as she demonstrated with her hand.

“What are you even saying, Lillian? She is just his girlfriend, and you’re his wife, making you have legal rights over him than she does.” Bella said, rolling her eyes and Lillian sighed.

“She even still had the nerves to peck him right in front of you.” She said again, feeling disgusted.

“This is a forced marriage, and he can do whatever he wants.” Lillian said nonchalantly.

“So, you accept his adulterous acts?” Bella asked befuddled.

“I didn’t say that but……..”

“You’re indirectly saying it.” Bella chipped in, picking her words.

“Just let her be.” Lillian breathed out.

“I’ll only let her be if she uses her sense to think and not her butthole.” Bella said, clicking her tongue.

“Right. Just when I asked you to let her be.” Lillian said in a sigh as she shook her head.

“You wouldn’t blame me, she’s the source of her problem with me.” Bella shrugged out.

“You should also learn to ignore her at times. Like they say, silence is the best answer for a fool.” Lillian elaborated as she also demonstrated with her hands.

“I thought you just asked me to ignore her attitude, but now, you just called her a fool.” Bella said in a small chuckle.

“No, no, I didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I was only trying to give you an illustration.” Lillian defended with a small smile as she raised her hands in surrender.

“I see.” Bella said as she nodded her head in a smile.

“Just try to accommodate her trash, maybe you would be able to stand her by then.” Lillian advised now looking serious.

“You’re joking, right?” Bella asked, gazing at her with a questioning look.

“No, I’m not. I’m being serious here.” Lillian replied with a nod.

“Fine, I would see what I would do about it.” Bella said in a sigh as she rolled her eyes.

“Please, do give it a trial.” Lillian said, flashing her a smile.

“Okay, enough talk about her already. Gosh, my breakfast has gone cold.” Bella said like she would cry as she diverted her attention to her meal, and Lillian laughed.

*IN DON’S ROOM*

“Hmmm, so much possessiveness over me, and I’m loving it.” Eva said in a smile as they got into Don’s room, and he left her hand immediately.

“What are you doing here, Eva?” He asked, gazing intently at the lady in front of him.

“I came to see my baby.” She said in a seductive smile.

“What exactly brought you here?” Don asked, not moved by the smile.

“That question sounds odd.” Eva replied with the smile vanishing off her face as she folded her hands under her boobs.

“Has it become a crime if I come to visit you in the morning? Or is it because of that bitch downstairs?” She said again with hatred resounding in her tone.

“Not now, Eva.” Don said and walked past her to the bed. He sat on it, pulling off his wristwatch.

“When will that be then?” Eva asked as she turned to him.

“What problem do you have with that lady?” Don asked, staring intently at her, but she kept silent.

There were seconds of silence as Eva was rendered silent.

“Whatever problem you have with her, I hope you don’t do something that’s going to cost your life.” He said again, putting a little fear into Eva before he began unbuttoning his sleeve.

“Don’t talk like that, babe. You and I know I’m only trying to prevent another lady from taking what’s rightfully mine.” She said in defense as she walked closer to him.

“I can’t afford to lose you.” She said again and sat on his lap strandling him in the process.

“You look tired, but don’t worry, I’ll make you feel better.” She said this time in a seductive smile, but she didn’t say a word, and she took it as a yes, pushing him down to the bed with just a finger.

Bella took a sip of the juice in her hand, staring into space. The sun was almost penetrating directly into her eye, but she cared less.

“Bella.” Someone tapped her from behind, startling her, and she turned.

“What’s up? What are you thinking about?” Rex asked, resting his right hand on the rail.

“It’s nothing actually, Rex. Umm, what are you doing here, by the way?” She asked back now staring at him.

“I was just passing by when I saw you standing here all alone, so I decided to know what happened.” Rex said with worry laced in his tone.

“Thanks for your concern, but nothing really happened.” She replied with a smile.

“Alright then, I’ll get going now. See you later.” He said, returning the smile and left.

Bella took a deep breath as she brought out her phone.

She dialed a number and the person picked at the third ring.

“Let’s meet in the location I’ll be sending to you now. Be there in fifteen minutes.”
