His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Is he always like this?” Klaus asked, sipping vodka.

“Bella forcefully made him do it the last time and now, he is trying to go back the old way.” Don stated, puffing out smoke from his nostrils.

“I think you need to do something about that Nick of a guy, you know. He’s been acting like a hard nut, difficult to crack.” Klaus said in a chuckle.

“Of course, I know that.” Don mumbled and sipped his vodka.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“The little girl is here.” Klaus announced in a singsong tone as he picked out a stick, putting it in between his lips.

“What girl?” Don asked, lifting his gaze to him. He heard a gentle cough, and he glanced up to see Lillian standing just a meter from him.

He stared at her from head to toe before gazing back at his former direction.

Lillian remained standing there without saying a word to him. She was beginning to feel more nervous than she already was before she got there.

She bowed her head when he glanced at her again.

“Did you come here to just work as a watchman?” Don asked quietly, puffing smoke out from his mouth, and she lifted her gaze a little to him.

“Of course not, there’s no way I can possibly…” She paused and exhaled when she couldn’t stop stuttering.

“You have nothing to say.” He said plainly, resting back on his seat.

“Well…” She breathed out and paused again as she lifted her head.

“I’m here to thank you for coming to my rescue.” She finally said, bitting softly on her lower lip.

“Thank you, I really appreciate.” She continued and bowed slightly, earning a slight chuckle from Klaus who couldn’t take his eyes completely off her.

She turned around to go immediately.

“Is that all you’ve come to say?” Don voiced out, making her halt in her steps.

“You’ve been meeting with your boyfriend even when you’re married already.” He said again, and she turned to him slowly.

“Does that mean you’ve been sleeping with him too?” He continued and she scoffed out.

“Excuse me, I don’t get you.” She conveyed turning to face him completely.

“You seriously don’t understand, or you just refused to understand?” He asked, dumping his cigarette stick in the ashtray.

“I do understand what you mean, but they are all wrong accusations. I had nothing to do with Mark before I married you and I still didn’t even have any relationship with him after marrying you, so I wouldn’t accept such allegations put against me.” She blurted out, rendering Don and Klaus surprised.

“Excuse me.” She said and walked away.

“Woah! Your wife seems quite tough.” Klaus exclaimed in a smile as he took a sip of his vodka, staring at her retreating figure.

Don scoffed out as he also stared at her retreating figure. He only stopped staring when she was no longer in sight.

“She’s also beautiful, too.” Klaus commented with a nod.

“You’ve seriously not laid with her?” He asked out of the blues, turning back his gaze to Don.

“Damn you bro! Can’t believe you’ve never laid with someone as sexy as this.” He said again, taking Don’s silence as a ‘no’.

Don picked up a new cigarette stick from its pack as he lighted it and started smoking again.

“Do you seriously mean it when you said you’d have nothing to do with her?” He asked, raising a brow to Don, who in turn didn’t say anything.

“Well, it’s cool if that is what you want, I might as well have her all to myself.” He blurted out after taking a sip of his vodka.

“Well, don’t you even think of going an inch close to her.” Don hauled in a glare.

“But, you don’t need her? And I do, so why don’t we get it that way.” Klaus disclosed, sounding rather too desperate.

“I just said not to dare move an inch close to her.” Don replied, fixing his gaze on him and he went shut immediately.

“Is that well understood?” He continued when he didn’t hear Klaus say a word.

“Alright man.” He said in surrender, going back to his cigarette stick.

“So, how was it?” Bella asked immediately she sighted her.

Lillian let out a loud sigh as she held tight to her chest.

“You never told me your brother smokes.” She uttered instead.

“That’s because you never asked.” Bella shrugged out.

“What happened? Are you allergic to smoke?” She asked, raising a brow as she studied her movements.

“Well, no. It’s just that the smell of smoke gives me a hard time, not like I’m asthmatic, but I just hate it” Lillian explained, sighing.

“Oops, so sorry then. You could have let him know, who knows? He might have stopped.” Bella said, soothing her by rubbing her shoulders.

“Or he might have also smoked out the more just to spite me. And again, I think you still don’t know that the sight of your brother makes me so nervous, like I feel like peeing in my panties, most especially now that I’ve known he’s a Mafia lord.” Lillian explained, earning a chuckle from Bella.

“That’s just the truth, girl.” She stated again in a shrug.

“I get what you’re saying, I mean, even his so-called girlfriend gets anxious around him, especially when he’s angry.” Bella said, still chuckling.

“Really?!” Lillian asked, looking a little surprised.

“Yeah” Bella nodded.

“Least I forget to ask, what is she doing here this time?” Lillian said, placing her hand on her waist.

“I wasn’t aware she was coming, I only knew when she arrived.” Bella revealed in defense immediately.

“Chill, I’m not angry. I just want to know when she’s living.” Lillian clarified simply.

“I also don’t know because when I confronted her, she said she would leave anytime she pleased.” Bella replied, forming a thin line on her lips and Lillian scoffed.

“She must be so stupid to have uttered such. Who the hell does she think she is?” Lillian professed in a frown, turning away from Bella partly.

“What did you tell her when she made such utterance?” She asked again.

“I was against it, but then I couldn’t do anything as my brother found nothing wrong with it.” Bella replied with a shrug.

Her lips were secretly forming into a light smile as she watched Lillian’s facial expressions.

“Tch, so much for a righteous man, yet he had the guts to accuse me of cheating.” She muttered, but Bella heard her anyway.

“What? When?” She inquired with her eyes widened in shock.

“Just now when I went to thank him.” She answered.

“Could you believe he said I was cheating on him with Mark, which he mistook as my boyfriend?” She complained, to surprising Bella.

“That’s ridiculous! Why would he think such?” Bella inquired, still with the surprised face.

“I don’t know and don’t have an idea either.” Lillian replied as she folded her hands underneath her boobs.

“But I hope there wasn’t any misunderstanding between you too?” Bella stated more like a question.

“I don’t know because I left him after giving my piece of mind.” Lillian replied and rolled her eyes.

“Wow!” Bella muttered.

“By the way, where’s Mark? I haven’t anything about him.” Lillian articulated, suddenly dropping her hands down.

“Well, he managed to escape.” Bella revealed in a sigh.

“Really?!” Lillian exclaimed.

“Yeah but the boys are searching for him and would give us feedbacks soon.” Bella replied with a sigh.

“Then what happens when they find him?” Lillian inquired, raising her brows in a questioning look.

“Well, that’s left for Don to decide….”
