His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Lillian found her way down the stairs and met the same lady from last night on the staircase.

“Hey! I was just about coming to your room to call you for breakfast, but now that you’re here, come on.” Bella stated, turning back to the dinning room after sighting Lillian.

Lillian followed behind her and sat on the dinning chair she pointed to. She waited patiently as the maids served her food and started eating almost immediately she was given the food. She was so famished at that moment.

Bella noticed this and chuckled lightly.

“I’m sorry.” Bella looked up at her with a puzzled look.

“For my action last night. I was cold and harsh towards you, and I sincerely apologize for that. That isn’t truly who I was. I was just …….” Lillian sighed and stared at her face to see her reaction, but Bella just kept a straight face.

“I’m sorry, and I hope we could start all over again.” She completed with another sigh, this time in relief.

“Weren’t you the same person acting arrogant last night?” Bella asked to be certain she wasn’t hallucinating.

“And I said I’m sorry for that.” Lillian shrugged off.

“Alright. But to begin with, I wasn’t really mad at you. I get you’re still angry at this whole marriage thing, and I was ready to give you enough time until you were ready ,,,,,,,,,, to stop sulking like a child.” Bella muttered the last part to herself.

“So, can we start afresh by introducing ourselves?” Lillian asked after gulping down water.

“Sure thing. I’ll go first.” Bella agreed, dropping her cutlery.

“I’m Bella Dean, a 22-year-old girl. Your husband’s little sister and I hope we could be good friends.” She introduced and flipped her hair.

“I’m Lillian Blake and 23 years old. You already know my family, so I guess there’s no need for that.” Lillian said as she turned back to her food.

“I heard you went to Spain at a very tender age. Now tell me, how was your life there? Your experiences? I mean, how did you cope with the people there and without your family?” Bella further asked.

“Okay. Where should I start from?” Lillian asked in a small laugh.

“Anywhere at all is fine by me.” Bella replied with a slight nod.

“Alright.” Lillian gulped down water and dropped her cutlery.

“I would start with your first question and If I could remember vividly, you asked how my life was over there? Well, at first, it was tedious, but with time I got used to it, and it didn’t really bother me that much anymore. And for my experiences, I didn’t have much…..” She paused for a moment.

“Going to Spain, my father registered me into The Royal’s, and you know how that place can be.” She continued as she rolled her eyes.

The Royal’s was a private educational organization in Spain. It was an institution where kids from 4 years and above get registered into, and they don’t get to see anybody until they were done with all their educational levels, including college.

Though, they had visiting days and that was once in every six months by either the mother or father of the child.

It had different educational sections, starting from elementary school to college and the children enrolled there, get to leave after they’re done with college.

“I heard a lot about that place. I wonder why they created such a horrible place.” Bella said a little confused.

“It isn’t as horrible as you think. It’s actually fun, filled with countless things to do in all the sections.” Lillian said truthfully.

“Then why did you say it was boring?” Bella asked as she gulped down water.

“Maybe because my family wasn’t there.” Lillian replied with a little shrug.

“And what about your experiences in the place?” Bella inquired.

“Okay….” Lillian stressed out a bit.

The sound of someone’s footsteps cut Lillian off as she and Bella turned to see who it was. It was Don climbing down the stairs.

“You’re up already. Come and join us. I would ask the maids to serve yours.” Bella said as she stared at him.

“I’m not having breakfast.” Don replied coldly. That was without looking at them, of course, and he went out of the house.

“Is he this grumpy? He didn’t even say hi to his sister.” Lillian thought.

Bella just rolled her eyes and faced her food.

“That’s just the way he is at times.” Bella answered the question in Lillian’s mind.

“So, where were we sis in-law?” She asked with a smile.

*************

Eva opened her eyes and didn’t find Don on the bed with her. She sat up with a smile, remembering what happened between them last night.

She stood up and went into the restroom to clean up. Furthermore, she came out minutes later to wear back her clothing. She picked up her purse and left the room. Likewise, she came across a lady coming out of the dining room, and she paused. She was sure the lady wasn’t a maid with the way she dressed, or was she the bitch Don got married to?

The lady also paused when she saw her.

“Who the heck are you?” She asked rudely, going close to Lillian, and she stopped when they were a few meters apart.

“I should be the one asking you that question because I am in my husband’s house.” These words tasted somehow on Lillian’s lips, but she didn’t make it her problem at that moment.

“So, you’re the bitch who is trying to steal my man.” Eva said in an overly calm but harsh look.

“And who the hell are you referring to as a bitch?” Lillian asked, raising her voice higher than before.

“You of course.” Eva replied irritatedly.

“Call me a bitch one more time, and you would regret ever meeting me!” Lillian spat out in a pissed tone.

“And how would you do that?” Eva asked, take daring steps forward.

“Just dare me, witch.” Lillian replied with a glare.

“How dare you!” Eva gritted in anger, raising her to slap her, but she caught her hand in the air and pushed her back, making her almost lose balance.

“Get out Eva.” Bella said from behind. She just came back from the kitchen to see what was happening after hearing loud voices and had seen what Eva tried to do.

“Get out of here, Eva.” She said again, and Eva angrily took her purse as she stomped off.

“Who was that lady?” Lillian said, staring at her retreating figure as she turned to Bella.

“She is a good for nothing soul, just ignore her.” Bella shrugged out.

“I saw that but,,,,,,, who is she exactly?” Lillian inquired further.

“Unfortunately, she is my brother’s girlfriend.” Bella answered as she rolled her eyes.

“Girlfriend?” Lillian asked, surprised.

“Yes, your husband’s girlfriend.” Bella emphasized.

“He still has a girlfriend even after getting married to me?” Lillian asked again, still shocked at the whole thing.

“Lillian, I think you should know one thing, and it is that my brother accepted to marry you for a reason and not because he wanted to.” Bella revealed in a sigh.

Eva threw her purse on the couch in anger, and her friends paused to look at her.

“What is the problem with you, Eva? First, you came in without a ‘hi’ and now you just threw your purse on the couch. What is it?” Aria said with a questioning look, but Eva didn’t reply to her.

“Maybe she finally found out her beloved boyfriend got married to someone else.” Delilah replied, chewing her gum noisily.

“But she already knows that.” Aria replied with a ‘duh’ tone.

“How dare she?” Eva asked no one in particular.

“That lowlife bitch.” She said again.

“Which of them exactly are you referring to?” Delilah chipped in.

“The bitch that claims to be Don’s wife.” Eva replied almost in a shout.

“You met her?” Aria, who had gone back to pressing her phone, asked.

“Yeah and trust me she would regret ever messing with me.” She fumed as she sank to the chair.

“I would make sure of that.” She said again and, this time, with an evil smirk.
