His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don’t think I can stand her even though we’re just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.”

“She has a name.”

“Do I look like I f**king care? Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”

“So?”

“So, I want you to do something, and it’s slightly simple, though dangerous.”

“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”

“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”

“You got it, babe.”

“Just do what I want, and you’ll have all you ask for.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

The recording paused and that was when Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.

Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble.

Just earlier that day, she came to the mansion to confirm if Lillian was truly out for good and to finally take her place back, but her sorrows began when she was suddenly held captive by the guards.

Now, she was kneeling in front of her boyfriend on the bare ground in the compound like some criminal who committed a grief offense. Though, Don’s facial expression told her the same thing.

Don gave out a signal and the recording resumed playing. This time, the shock became too much for Eva to carry as she fell back to the ground, thinking her life was finally over.

“Do you have a plan in mind?”

“Let’s frame her with Don’s life. We’ll do something that’ll put his life at stake and frame her for it.”

“But he is my friend and also your boyfriend?”

“It won’t kill him, it’s just to send that lady out of his life for good, whether dead or alive.”

“Hmm”

“Don’t hesitate about it, or don’t you want my body anymore?” There was some rustling in the background before Eva’s voice came up again, “You’ll have all of me right now if you agree to do this, I promise.”

“Hmm” A moan was heard then kissing effects came to play until the recording was paused again by Draco who had the device all along.

“It’s not what you’re thinking, Don. It’s all a misunderstanding.” Eva helped herself up to hold Don by his leg, and she continued, “I swear that wasn’t…….” She couldn’t complete her statement when a slap threw her back to lie on the ground.

Don grabbed her up by the hair, “How dare you lie to me?” He seethed directly to her face and she shook weakly in his hands.

Was this how her life was going to end?

“I’m not…” She was cut short by yet another ear-deafening slap that made her scream out instead of falling due to his tight hold.

“Don’t even utter another word because all evidences are pointing against you, including the ones you don’t even know about!” Don finally tossed her off with full force, and she landed on her side, earning a scratch on her elbow.

He could still remember he did a similar thing to Lillian which, until now, he felt guilty of. He would definitely find her to atone for his sins.

Eva could only groan in pains as she tried to get back on her knees. That wasn’t time for her to wallow in self-pity because as it was, her life was already on the line.

“Fine, that was the plan, but it changed. Someone else shot you first before ours could take place…” Eva couldn’t stop cussing Klaus in her mind.

All these were supposed to be between them until their last breath, so she barely understood how Don laid his hands on them. And to think that Klaus recorded their first conversation without her knowledge pissed her off the more.

“But you successfully framed Lillian, and I’m very certain that the maid didn’t commit suicide, you murdered her.” Bella finally spoke for the first time then, her gaze clouded with coldness and hatred for the lady on the ground.

She didn’t want to say anything, as she only wished to see the great amount of sorrow Eva would go through.

Eva glanced at her and shook her head, no words came out of her lips. She was caught in her web of lies.

“Take her back. You know what to do with her until my next order.” Don uttered, dipping his hands into his pocket.

Draco, though a little hesitant, grabbed Eva from the floor with the help of another guard. No matter what the case might be, she was once a person they acknowledged respect.

“No! Please, Don, temper justice with mercy. I promise I’ll never do it again, just give me a chance.” Eva pleaded whilst being dragged away by the merciless guards.

Seeing her pleas wasn’t helping, she sought for another alternative. “I know where Lillian is.” She yelled out of the blues. Even the guards that held her had to pause as they glanced down at her.

The atmosphere changed immediately, with everyone wondering why she uttered that. They already knew who was responsible, else they’d have labeled her responsible.

“I know where to find Lillian. I met her before I came to the mansion, and I can really take you to her.” Eva continued after seeing she’d gotten the attention she wanted.

Draco shot his boss a glance and, as expected, his gaze was fixed on Eva. With that gaze, he was certain he had questions for her, so he signalled his partner before they took Eva back to their boss.

“What did you say?” Bella was the first to question her, as she was also taken aback by the sudden confession.

“I know where you can find her, but first, you’ll promise me that you will let me go as soon as you find Lillian.” Eva wasn’t so sure of her promise, but all she thought of currently was her safety.

Besides, her father wouldn’t even know she was responsible, and would also use the opportunity to repay him for ruining her ultimate plan.

“Speak while you still have the chance to, else I force it out of you.” Don hardened voice and daring gaze on Eva made her realize she shouldn’t have brought the topic up.

What was she thinking? That he wouldn’t make her speak even when she doesn’t want to?

She gulped down hard, still trying to play adamant even though she’d foreseen what was definitely going to happen. “You’ll have to promise me first.”

Don grew even more furious and tried to rage towards her, but Bella was quick to hold him back. She signalled him not to do anything yet before glancing back at Eva.

“What if you’re trying to trick us? Just so you could run away from your crimes.”

Eva, who was already shaking like a jelly fish in fear, turned to look at Bella, “How did I know Lillian was missing? Of course, it was because I had seen her in my fa….” She couldn’t complete her statement when she suddenly felt something, or rather, two things pierce into her from behind.

She tried to utter another word, but instead spat out blood. She clung to her chest as she slowly fell completely on the ground.

Bella adjusted back a little at the sight in front of her. What just happened?

She and the others raised their gaze immediately to the direction the gunshots had come from, only to see a maid crossing over to the next building in a haste.

It was Mara!
