His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

A motorcycle has been secretly following Lillian’s car. He saw what the guard did and became slightly confused when the car was still moving.

Shouldn’t she stop the car? Or does she know her way around?

He heard a short scream from the car and concluded there was trouble. Immediately, he brought out a chip and threw it to the body of the car. He brought out his phone and typed on the few buttons, stopping the car shortly.

He stopped his motorcycle as he alighted and walked to the car. There, he met an unconscious Lillian. He removed the chip and got into the driver’s seat. He ignited the engine, revising carefully before turning back, and then he drove out of the place, leaving his motorcycle behind.

“When will you be going to inspect the incoming goods?” Don asked as he poured in vodka into his cup.

“Is it the one in Italy?” Bella asked, unsure, checking out her fingers.

“Yeah. You have to check and carefully prepare it before it comes down to Los Angeles.” Don said, imbibing his drink.

“That won’t be a problem. Besides, it hasn’t arrived yet. When it does, I would go.” Bella said as she collected the alcohol from her brother and gulped the remaining content down. She returned it to the table with a cheeky smile that made Don glare at her.

“I hope you don’t neglect this because of Lillian.” He stated, pouring in another cup of vodka.

“And since when did I start neglecting something of such importance because of a person?” Bella queried with a puzzled look.

“You don’t get along with people that easily, but you got along with her in just a few hours and from what I heard, you were the first to approach her.” Don explained surprising her.

“And have you been stalking me?” Bella asked with her hands folded underneath her boobs.

“Answer me.” Bella inquired as she hit his hand, making him flinch a little. He gave a small smile as he held her hand when she tried hitting him again.

“Stop it Bella. Your hand might look small and cute, but it hurts pretty well.” He uttered and Bella scoffed out in disbelief.

“I’ll stop if only you ask the motherfucker to stop stalking me because if I find out whom they might be, I would make sure to…….” Someone entered the room, cutting her off.

“Boss.” The guy who entered called in a bow.

“Lillian was almost involved in a car accident.” He announced, and Bella rose to her feet in shock.

“What!!”

“How? What happened?” Bella inquired.

“She was abandoned in a moving car, and it had almost fallen off the cliff, but I was quick to save her.” The guy explained, still bowing.

“Where is she now?” Bella asked with her hands placed on her waist as she took in a deep breath.

“She is in her room with a doctor attending to her.” The guy replied, but Bella didn’t wait for him to complete as she rushed out immediately.

“What actually happened, Drake?” Don finally said, now taking his gaze to him.

IN LILLIAN’S ROOM

Bella entered into the room and met the doctor packing his things into the box.

“How is she, doctor?” She asked, reducing her pace to the bed.

“She is fine. She just fell unconscious due to the shock and would be very much fine if she had a good rest.” The doctor stated with a smile.

“Is there any drugs she needs to take?” Bella said, halting her steps.

“No. Like I said, it was just shock and the only drug she would need right now is rest.” The doctor replied, still wearing his gentle smile.

“I’ll be on my way now.” He said as he picked up his box and left the room.

Bella went over to Lillian on the bed as she sat beside her. She sighed in relief when she saw her sleeping face, so peaceful.

She just couldn’t imagine what would have happened to her if Drake didn’t rescue her on time.

“It’s my fault, if only I had taken you too serious when you said you were eager to learn how to drive, then maybe all this wouldn’t have happened.” She muttered to herself, holding tight to Lillian’s hand.

But, who would have sent the guard? Because a mere guard wouldn’t have such a mind, or was the guard, not one of them?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

She sighed out again as she removed the strand of hair that laid carelessly on her closed eye.

Bella walked to the chair and sat down, putting her purse on the table.

“Hey girl! What’s up?” Eva cheered when she sighted her.

“You don’t look happy, Any problem? And why did you call me here?” She questioned, staring intently at Bella who was also staring back at her.

“Eva, I want to ask you a question, but you’ll have to promise you would say the truth.” Bella said, with her tone sounding serious than ever.

“What is it, Bella?” Eva said getting uncomfortable.

“Promise me first.” Bella said daringly.

“Just get on with it.” Eva said, trying not to show how scared she has become with Bella’s daring personality.

Bella took in a sharp breath as she tilted her head slightly to the left.

“Did you send anyone to harm Lillian?” Bella said watching her reaction closely.

Eva released a surprised laugh.

“Huh? I don’t understand.” She replied, staring unbelievably at her.

“Lillian doesn’t know how to drive and someone used it against her. So. I’m asking you again, do you know anything about it?” Bella repeated her question firmly.

“What do you mean? Are you trying to accuse me or what?” Eva queried getting pissed.

“I’m not accusing you, Eva. I just want to be sure of something.” Bella replied lowly but with a stern look.

“And accusing me is the best way you could come up with? Alright, yes, I did it. Since that is what you want to hear.” Eva half yelled, and the people around stared towards their direction, but she was less concerned.

“How could I even know Lillian doesn’t know how to drive?” She said again in disbelief.

“So, you don’t have a hand in it?” Bella raised yet another question, not bothered about her little drama.

“I don’t, believe me.” Eva grunted out.

“You still don’t believe me?” Eva assumed when she still saw the doubtful look on Bella’s face.

“I thought we were now friends, but with what I’m seeing right now, you didn’t mean whatever you said the other day because friends, don’t doubt each other.” Eva replied devastated and stood up.

“There’s no point in trying to make you believe me.” She seethed out as she stomped out of the restaurant.

“Why the heck have you been calling me, Ricardo? I have given you part of the money, so, what’s wrong with you?” Eva ranted, making Ricardo scowl.

“You gave me part of the money promising to pay the remaining part when the job is done, and now it is, you’re asking what’s wrong with me?” He rasped out in a pissed tone.

“Anyways, I don’t have time for this shit. Just pay my money, so I can get out of here.” He went further to say.

“Are you really sure the car fell off the cliff?” Eva asked with a plain look as her mind drifted back to what happened between her and Bella.

“That is left for you to find out, not mine.” Ricardo said and Eva scoffed.

“Why are you always arrogant?” Eva asked as she frowned deeply at him.

“Pay my damn money, so I can go!” Ricardo said, getting more pissed than before.

Eva scoffed out as she brought out an envelope and almost threw it at him but withdrew immediately.

“What now?” Ricardo seethed, staring at her dangerously.

“You know you should take a chill pill. I wonder why you’re this much of a party pooper, I brought wine for us to celebrate this little victory but, you almost made me forget about it.” She said, bringing out a bottle of wine with two glass cups.

“Thank goodness you made mention of a little victory, but I don’t see why this is necessary.” He countered in a scoff.

“But, it is. It is like a tradition from where I was brought up to always celebrate little things for greater things to come.” Eva persuaded and he scoffed.

“I don’t do that. Now, hand me the damn money, I want to leave here.” He growled out the last statement, making Eva shudder in fear.

“Alright.” She said, and threw the envelope at him.

He opened the envelope to confirm the content and glared at her even after seeing it was his money.

Just as he turned to the door to leave, Eva brought out a handkerchief and covered his nose firmly with it, breaking a glass in the process. The substance in the handkerchief was so strong that it made Ricardo fall unconscious immediately.

She pushed his head back to rest on the seat as she started the car and drove off.

“You’re back.” Delilah said when Eva entered the house.

“How was it? Was the job perfect?” She inquired leaving what she was doing.

“Chill Lilah, I haven’t even sat down yet.” Eva said and rolled her eyes.

“Alright. So, how was it?” She asked again after Eva settled down on the couch.

“I don’t know yet, but I will find out, and I pray she doesn’t survive.” Eva replied, taking the glass cup containing wine from the table.

“She is still alive after falling off the cliff?” Delilah said with her mouth slightly opened in shock.

“Bella called me up today, and with the way she sounded, it seems like the bitch isn’t dead yet.” Eva replied, glaring at the glass cup like it offended her.

“Alright, but what about Ricardo?” Delilah asked.

“I’ve taken care of him….”

“With plan B.” She whispered softly, but Delilah still heard her.
