His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

A guy sat opposite a lady who was probably his girlfriend, and he fed her ice cream while she took turns to do the same.

The smiles on their faces only increased when it was each turn to feed.

Lillian was staring at them, her lips curled up in a small smile, and her hand placed on the car door was supporting her chin up.

She chuckled when the guy began to tease the lady with a spoon of ice cream, and a small frown crawled up on the lady’s face.

Somehow, Lillian wished she and Don would one-day be like that and stop living like they are now because to her, they lived like total strangers.

The traffic light changed to green and the cars all began to move, including the one Lillian was in.

“Excited about tonight?” Bella glanced at her, at the same time trying to focus on the road.

“Not really…..” Lillian paused to stare at her and rested back on the seat.

“Just thinking of how life would have been if Don and I had been a normal couple.”

“Who knows if he would even accommodate me for the night?” She added with her eyes shut.

Bella didn’t say a word immediately as she made a U-turn and darted to a route.

She placed her hand on Lillian’s left hand while using her free hand to turn the car wheel perfectly.

“My brother had a rough childhood. All his life, he has lived with a trauma that has been hunting him for years now….” She sucked in her breath and continued, “I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I think there are certain things you need to know, and I hope you can take it really slow with him.”

Lillian’s eyes were now wide open as her gaze remained glued on Bella, who was at the moment focused on the road.

“A childhood trauma?” Lillian whispered to herself.

“And we are here.” Bella announced in a loud tone, once again diverting Lillian’s attention.

She bent over a little to point out the gate.

“There we go.”

Lillian’s gaze followed her finger, and she heaved a sigh.

“As for not taking you in, just convince him like we practiced at home.”

“And remember, don’t let him intimidate you.” Bella went further to say.

“I won’t.” This came out as a mumble from Lillian as she carried her bag which contained the things she was needing for the night and paused.

“Are you forgetting something?” Bella asked from behind her.

Lillian shot her a glance and smiled, “No.”

“I’ll get going now, and don’t forget to send my regards to Rex.” With this, she opened the car door and alighted.

“Enjoy your night with my brother!” Bella winked at her, and she rolled her eyes with a chuckle.

Lillian held the small bag properly in her hand as she waved at Bella until she was no longer in sight.

She let out a sigh and turned towards the huge black gate, taking a few steps closer. She placed a gentle knock and in seconds, a boy revealed himself through the small gate.

He seemed as though he had been on a call because he was just bringing his phone down from his ear.

“Hi, I’m here to…..” She was cut in on by his cool and gentle voice.

“Come in.” He paved way for her, and her eyebrows arched confused.

She almost asked why he was just letting her in when they hadn’t met before, but decided to let it pass.

“Have we met before?” She turned to him when she was finally inside the compound, as she watched him lock the gate.

“No. This is my first time of meeting my boss’s wife, and I’m honored.” He bowed slightly to her, and she was forced to chuckle.

“Really? Then I’m glad.”

“My boss is inside.”

She nodded and turned back towards the house but halted abruptly when her eyes met with a dark gray eyes staring directly at her from the verandah.

She suddenly felt a lump down her throat and she swallowed hard, still maintaining the intent stare.

Soon, he left the verandah, and she brought down her gaze, heaving a light sigh with her eyes closed afterward.

Why didn’t he ask questions? Or was he coming down to meet her? What if he asked her out of the mansion?

With what she had sensed from him earlier, he didn’t seem like he was in a good mood, even if she was kind of used to his bad side.

Another tiring sigh escaped her lips as she dragged her feet with her into the house.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

If he had the intention of sending her out, then it should be done inside, where she guessed they might be alone.

Luckily for her, none of the guards outside asked her anything. Instead they gave way for her like they knew her, and somehow she also felt they were familiar, probably from the other mansion.

A ‘wow’ left her lips as soon as she stepped into the house.

The house didn’t just look huge on the outside but also spelled fanciness and elegance with a touch of dark aura.

It screamed wealth from the table, lights to the stairs which were made in gold and the couch were all in black.

A bright smile became visible on her face as her eyes roamed all over the house, especially at its well portrayed designs and dimensions.

Though her father’s house was similar to this, but the creativity in this house was dripping really good.

The staircases were double with its rails glistening. Her lips pursed when she couldn’t figure out the right one to take.

Which would lead her to Don? And speaking of him, where was he? Shouldn’t he be down already to confront her? Or was he probably still waiting for her on the verandah?

She decided to take the one on the right side and as she walked, her flat footwear made loud sounds even if she walked gently.

Finally getting to the edge bursting to the hallway, she stared left and right at the narrow passage and heaved a sigh.

Fortunately for her, Draco came to her rescue, walking towards her from the left direction.

“This way, please.” He walked back to the direction he had come from, leaving her stunned in her position for a moment.

It didn’t last though, as in the next second, she was running behind him to meet with his pace. His pace only lessened when he got to a door, and he turned back to face her.

“This is where you’ll spend the night.” He made to go, but she held his wrist, letting him go almost immediately.

“Where is Don?” She found herself asking.

Everything happening since she entered the mansion has been a little strange to her. Don saw her but didn’t do anything, and then almost everyone she came across in the mansion was acting nice to her.

“You’ll meet him soon.” Draco didn’t hesitate to leave after saying this.

She shrugged, not letting that get into her thought, and pushed the door open. Her eyes went shut immediately as a new fragrance met her nostrils. She inhaled deeply with a small smile before exhaling slowly.

A shriek left her lips as soon as her eyes fluttered open, and her body shuddered as it went cold in the next instant.

Her pulse raced, and her palms quivered, dropping the bag in her hand to the floor with her eyes wide with panic.

The room was dark and to make matters worst, there was a huge shadow hovering around.

She made to run out, but the light suddenly came on, and another gasp left her mouth, but this time with a sigh of relief.

She almost thought it was a ghost in the room, but it was just Don, he stood to his feet immediately.

His eyes were no longer holding that cold gaze from earlier, and it didn’t look enlightened either.

He advanced towards her and halted when he got to her. She gulped down nothing at the proximity between them and lowered her gaze as she bit her lower lip.

There was something in his gaze that she still couldn’t understand, and it made her body hot all over. His hand went to the door knob as his gaze remained on her.

“Move aside.”

She obeyed quietly, and he proceeded out of the room. As soon as the door went shut, her hand went to her chest and she heaved a loud sigh.

“What was that?”

Why was Don staring at her that way and with the way, he spoke to her with no hint of command like he usually did, amazed her the most.

He didn’t even ask her anything like she expected.

She lifted the bag and shook her head with another sigh as she walked into the restroom to get changed.

A few minutes later, she stepped out with the bag and tossed it near the bed. She stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection with a small smile.

Shortly, the door opened and Don walked in. She turned to face him, and he paused as he ran his eyes through her body, his gaze went dark with desires instantly.

She was wearing a skimpy night gown, and it revealed some part of her boobs. Without hesitating further, he took long strides towards her and caged her with the dressing table, taking her unaware.

“I want you.”
