His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Move, move.” Draco ordered the boys as they alighted from the trucks one after the other.

He was holding a long gun firmly to his chest, using his other hand to support his words, which came out in a yell.

The boys understood the language well, as none of them had a smile on their face. They knew what today was, for them and the family. It wasn’t like any usual operation.

They were all fully armed with guns and some hidden knives, just in case. Their boots made tough sounds with the ground as they marched, more like run into the warehouse. Draco followed behind when he was sure the boys were inside the house.

Though, few men stood outside, but it was to watch over the warehouse and alert the others if the case arises.

Boys began to troop out in numbers, carrying boxes along with them. They walked towards another truck which was parked out there as they dumped the boxes in it while some boys went inside the truck to arrange the boxes.

The truck was much longer and bigger than the one the boys had arrived with. They offloaded the boxes from the warehouse to the truck and when it was filled, one of the boys entered the driver’s seat and started the engine.

The truck was able to drive out of the place successfully, thanks to some boys. Another empty truck drove in, and they continued from where stopped until it became filled again.

“How many trucks, now?” Draco asked, walking out of the warehouse.

“Two.” The boy around, replied.

“Where is the other truck?”

“It’s on its… Oh, here it comes.” The boy replied, glancing at the gate. He watched as the truck drove in, and he went to join the rest.

Draco nodded slightly and stood there, watching the boys get ready to fill the truck again. Boys trooped out of the warehouse, carrying tons of boxes with them to the truck, which was already widely open.

In a few minutes, they were done, and the truck driver ignited the engine, ready to drive out.

“Is that all?” Draco walked to the same boy from the other time.

“Yes.” He nodded, and Draco nodded alongside him.

“Alright, let’s go” He yelled out, startling the boy near him a little, but he dared not complain, after all, this was their boss’s personal guard and technically, he was their boss there.

The boys all nodded in affirmation before they all marched towards the trucks they had come with.

Draco’s car was the first to drive out, trailing after the last truck with the cartons of cocaine before the trucks containing the other boys followed behind.

“Hey!” Bella said, strolling towards Draco.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is that the last truck?” She asked and glanced at the truck.

“Yes.” Draco nodded.

“Alright, get them ready again because we have a new shipment of goods.” She went further to say, and Draco nodded once again.

She left him and made her way to some unfamiliar people. They were the buyer of their goods and were having a discussion with Drake. She collected the paper from one of them before they shook hands.

“It was nice doing business with you.” She uttered with a plain look and the man nodded.

“Same here.” He said before signalling his partners and they left together.

“How much time until the cargoes get here?” Bella asked Drake, who came to stand beside her.

“In about a few minutes.” Drake replied and glanced at his wristwatch.

“Alright, get the boys gathered, I need to address them before it arrives.” Bella muttered.

“Sure.” Drake nodded and turned to the opposite side.

“Hands down and move closer all of you, important information needs to be passed across to you.” He yelled out loud enough to be heard.

They heeded to the order as they all marched towards him to arrange themselves in four in a row.

Bella nodded to herself, feeling contented with their arrangements, and she turned to face them.

“Good day to you all.” She started by greeting them, and they nodded in unison.

“As we all know, we are trying to take in new goods today, and it is essential you put in your handwork and dedication. The boss wouldn’t waste any time in dealing with anybody who fails to comply with the rules and regulations of this operation, so it is left for you to choose which part of him you want to see, the bright side or the dark side?” She paused for a moment to observe their facial expressions.

“Lastly, never forget that together we succeed in this operation.” She rounded up her statement.

“Is that well understood?” She asked out loud.

“Yes!” They chorused in unison.

“Good. Then let’s get down to business.” She half yelled upon sighting the incoming ship, which was almost close to them.

The boys all dispersed as they began to make preparations. Some trucks drove in to take in the goods. By the time they were done, the ship had already stopped and preparing to drop the heavy containers to the ground.

They all shifted backwards and some of them helped guard the heavy containers land to the floor safely. This went on for about twenty minutes until there were no longer containers to offload.

After making sure the number of containers shipped in were complete, Bella signalled on some boys to open the containers. They did as instructed and saw the containers were filled to the brim with their goods.

The boys began to offload it into the trucks while Bella, Drake, and Draco supervised them from various spots.

All of a sudden, a strange car drove in with great speed as it almost brushed past some boys if not that they were quick to run for their life. Another car drove in before another, then another, and before they knew what was happening, the cars became multiple.

Bella and Drake glanced at one another before she took her gaze back to the cars to scrutinize the situation. They weren’t expecting anyone, so who could they be?

A tear gas grenade was thrown out from the car and that was when Bella became alerted. The air became harmful as the boys began to cough hard and choke whilst holding tight to their chest.

This doesn’t exclude Bella and Drake, but they were quick enough to cover their nostrils and take cover from the dangerous gas.

The cars opened and boys alighted all at once, looking fully armed and shielded from the dangerous gas, then they began to shoot at the boys.

In less than a minute, the ground became bloody as gunshots were being fired and exchanged from all directions.
