His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.

After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.

“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.

He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.

“I don’t mind, as long as you go down first. And don’t think you’re doing us a favor here because you’re one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn’t leave Bella’s face as she spat out her anger.

“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.

Even though Bella’s anger knew no bounds, all she could just do was to watch him as she did nothing and this time, she decided not to reply to him either.

Who would have thought that Mark also could be betrayed?

FLASHBACK

Bella and Don just arrived at the gigantic gate of Pablo’s mansion, along with some of their guards.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Bella glanced at Eva’s phone in her hand and nodded to her brother, “This was her last location.”

After what happened to Eva, Bella got the idea of searching through her things, considering their last conversation before she died. They had managed to get access to the phone, then they tracked down her last location, which happened to be this huge mansion.

Draco was the first to step out of the car as he knocked on the gate while getting prepared to attack his first victim. The gate opened, and a young guy came into view.

“Who are…” He didn’t complete his statement when he was knocked out.

Draco pulled him aside, also giving way for his boss and the rest to pass. Don, Bella and most of the guards marched into the compound alongside Draco, getting rid of the obstacles who also got alerted at their unusual arrival, on their way.

A few minutes into the compound, Bella noticed a peculiar route, and she managed to pass through the midst of their enemies, who were now trooping out of the mansion in numbers.

Right there on the cold tiled ground was Mark tied in a piece. He wasn’t looking any good, especially since he looked badly beaten.

There were only two men with Mark, so it didn’t take Bella much effort to bring them down, that in a short time, they were unconscious. Then she ran to crouch next to Mark, scanning with her eyes as she poked a few injuries to see if they were real.

It was better not to be fooled twice!

His groans didn’t fail to escape his lips, and it made her stop. She shot his face a glance and felt his pulse, only to confirm it was also weak.

Shortly, Don and his personal guards, including Rex, arrived there and immediately Don grabbed Mark by the collar.

“Where the f*ck is my wife?!” He spat into his face with so much rage, but surprisingly, Mark wasn’t shocked at all.

He smirked weakly and said, “You came a little late, though. But if you love her like she says you do, then you’ll let me help you instead of ranting out here.”

He already heard what Eva did at Don’s place, so he knew Don would somehow get a clue of how to find Lillian.

“What the f*ck are you saying right now?” It was Bella’s turn to cuss behind her brother.

“I secretly planted a tracker on her before she was taken away, take my phone in my pocket, and you’ll find the signals on where she is right now.”

Don somehow didn’t believe him, but when he checked and confirmed it, he left him roughly and glanced at him before dashing out of the place with his personal guards.

END OF FLASHBACK*

“What now? Falling in love with me?” Mark smirked, staring directly into Bella’s piercing gaze.

She rolled her eyes and scoffed out, “Dude! Can’t you just keep your mouth shut? Don’t make me regret having you treated!”

Yes, Bella had gotten a physician for Mark. Obviously, the reason he’d gotten the energy to talk back, unlike earlier when she arrived.

“Just take it as a way to repay my favor because that’s what it is.” Mark uttered, the smirk slowly leaving his face and becoming a frown.

He would rather not be indebted to this people around him because he still considered them enemy, even if he had just helped them.

“This was probably the reason your acquaintance had gotten his goons to almost beat you to death.” Bella decided to taunt him a little, since he was beginning to piss her more than before.

“Don’t even remind me of that man!” Mark retorted with anger booming inside of him.

“Why not? Don’t have the guts to admit you were betrayed?” Bella still continued to taunt him, this time with a grin that Mark badly wished to smack out of her face, if only he wasn’t tied roughly to the ground.

Just then, Bella sighted Fred. His face held anger as he rushed towards them.

“Where is that bastard?” He asked immediately before his gaze diverted to Mark on the ground. Then he clenched his fist and dashed to him as he threw series of punch to him.

Bella didn’t bulge at first, but as it continued, she decided to stop Fred. Her brother wanted him alive until he returns which was why she got him treated in the first place.

Fortunately, Mark had only endured a few punches before she dragged Fred away from him with the help of a guard.

“That’s enough now. We need to keep him alive until we find your sister.” She soothed gently as she tried to block Mark from Fred’s view.

Her last statement seemed to work on Fred because in the next second, he freed Bella’s grip from himself as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

“Gotten any update from your brother yet?” Fred asked after a while as he turned to face Bella, finally trying to control his surging temper.

Don had sent him Pablo’s address to come over to assist Bella and since, he’d attempted to call his phone, but it was either not reachable or on another call.

“I spoke with him a while ago, and he said he was almost at the place. We just have to exercise patience and wish they all come back safely.”
