His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Lillian walked towards the door before walking back to the bed. One of her hands was placed on her waist and the other was on her chest as she paced to and fro in her room.

She has been like this for since like God knows when, looking all scared and worried.

After what transpired between her and Eva earlier, she had rushed downstairs to meet some boys who helped to take Eva to the hospital, luckily for her.

She had to stay back because, according to them, they could take care of things and she was grateful. She couldn’t imagine being guilty all through, even though she was feeling guilty, but it would have been much worse.

But thinking about it again, it changed little or nothing whatsoever. Another question found its way into her thought, and she wondered what could have been happening by then.

Has the doctor attended to her yet? Was she feeling alright already? Why was she bleeding and screaming at the same time?

Lillian suddenly stopped pacing as realization struck her like thunder and her eyes grew wide open in shock. She let out a loud gasp, covering her mouth with her hand.

Eva was pregnant with a child. There could be a possibility that the baby had been harmed during the push.

“Oh my Goodness!” She gasped out again, her whole body suddenly becoming hot.

She fanned herself with her two hands even though the air condition was on, as she released a large amount of air from her mouth.

Her heart began to race heavily, and she wondered if that push could cause harm to the unborn baby.

As much as she wasn’t happy about Eva’s pregnancy for some reason that was still unknown to her, she didn’t hope the pregnancy termination would come from her.

What would Don think of her now? What would he say to her?

She was in a big mess and the worst of it all was that she had no solution whatsoever and there was no Bella to help her out in the situation.

“Where the hell is Bella?” She grumbled, scattering her hair over her face in frustration.

She could only pray to the Almighty that the baby and its mother both come back safely, else she would definitely not be able to handle it.

When she felt her breath was beginning to deteriorate, she made her way hastily to the bedside cabinet and gulped down water from the bottle.

She gulped down the water in large quantity before dumping the bottle back to its place, on the bedside cabinet.

She slumped down to the bed and gulped down hard.

“God, please save the baby.” She prayed silently to herself as she shut her eyes and lips tight with her two hands clasped together.

For a fact, she shouldn’t be doing this, especially when Eva was the cause of everything, but that wasn’t necessary now. No one, especially Don, might believe her if the baby dies.

A knock on the door startled her, and it made her trembled in fear. She glanced at the door like a thief hiding from the police and gulped down nothing.

The knock came again, and she stood to her feet slowly. Who was at the door?

Could it be one of the people who took Eva to the hospital?

“If you’re in there, the boss wants to see you in his room right now.” The voice said from outside.

Her eyes grew wide instantly. Don was back and wanted to see her??

She didn’t hear anything again, and she guessed he must have left after delivering the message.

No, this was cowardice. She didn’t do anything wrong, after all. It was all Eva’s fault.

If only she didn’t hit and insulted her, then all this wouldn’t been happening. All of them would have still been in the mansion, maybe as usual, having their normal daily routine.

No matter how she tries to run from it all, she still doesn’t want to incur his wrath. It was better for her to face her fears now than to implicate herself further by running away or defiling the order of going to his room.

Without wasting any more time, she stood up and marched out of the room like she wasn’t the one shaking in fear some seconds again. She didn’t look anywhere else but the direction she was headed until she got to the room entrance.

Strangely, the entrance was void of guards. On a norm, there would have been Rex and Draco standing there, or just one of them.

She shook her head, deciding to think about the reason she was standing at the door in the first place.

She took in three sharp breaths before knocking silently on the door. It opened after another knock at the door, and it revealed Draco.

He opened it more wide to give her a pass, and she walked in quietly with her eyes lowered to the ground. Her feet were beginning to feel wobbly, and her fears couldn’t help but to return.

She halted her steps a meter away from the door and didn’t bother to lift her gaze.

There were other people in the room with Don, and she only noticed this after observing the number of shoes on the ground.

Silence ensued in the room as no one said anything, and it made her wonder what exactly was happening.

She tried to take a peek at Don, but he startled her with his voice, and she took her head down in the next second.

“You all can go, the girl stays.” He ordered in a low, deep voice.

The shoes started marching out, including Draco’s who was standing behind her all this while.

Bella was also in the room with the other boys, and she was part of the people who were walking out of the room. She paused for a while when she got to Lillian’s side, making Lillian glance up at her.

“Bella?” Lillian called out in surprise. She never suspected that Bella was in the same room.

Bella glanced at her brother before glancing back at Lillian, who wouldn’t stop staring into her face.

“Be safe.” She muttered before walking out of the room, leaving Lillian a little worried.

Why did Bella look so upset? Even if she tried to hide it when she got to where she was, it was obvious to her. She had been with her for months, and she knew when she was happy and the opposite.

Smokes interrupted her, and she turned to where it was coming from, only to see Don smoking quietly from his bed. When did he get a cigarette to start smoking?All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He was sitting on the bed with a stick of cigarette in between his lips. She lowered her gaze again when her eyes met his. He looked unusually quiet and she wondered why.

“What transpired between you and Eva?” His voice broke into her thought, sending cold shivers down her spine.
