THE MAFIA’S HEIR

THIRD PERSON’S POV

He frowned at himself for being so excited about going to his cousin’s place.

“I’m not excited.” He muttered to himself. “I just want to go see my favourite cousin whom I haven’t seen in weeks.” ‘Whatever makes you sleep well at night’, his subconscious mocked, making him scoff. He went ahead to fix up his collar, then buttoned the sleeves of his shirt. ‘So much effort to button a shirt that would come flying off tonight?’, his subconscious grinned mischievously.

“Just shut the fuck up!” Alexander yelled in annoyance at his inner voice. He hated the fact that even if he tried to maintain his ground about not going to see Bella at Manuel’s place, his subconscious knew the truth. Okay, he would eventually stop lying to himself and accept the fact that he did miss his wife. Maybe just a little. But what was the point of loving unrequitedly? He didn’t want to be so pathetic. Even if she had kept repeating the fact that she had fallen in love with him after all, he couldn’t help but feel her love for him was as a result of empathy. He didn’t want to be pitied for any reason, worse still, love.

The moment he was done combing his hair and spraying his cologne, he took his car keys and stepped out. Why did he feel like it was gonna be a long night? The ride to his cousin’s place was normally short, but for some reason, it seemed long today. Why was that?

When he finally got to the mansion, he quickly got out of the car and made his way into their home. The moment he walked into the living room, he was met with the curious and amused gazes of his other cousins, likewise his aunt and uncle.

“Hello everyone.” He waved awkwardly.

“If it isn’t quite the delight to have you here.” Greta grinned, before coming over to him for a hug.

“You came indeed!” His Aunt Mia exclaimed in disbelief. For a moment, he wondered what was actually going on? Had everyone been waiting for him to….? He was at loss.

“Greta!” He released a sigh and returned his cousin’s hug.

“I would have said you look sick, but your haircut and properly shaved beards beg to differ.” She gave that knowing chuckle, making his face burn in embarrassment. Yes! He went as far as having a haircut, just to come say hi to Manuel.

“Brother!” He looked up to see Manuel walking out of the corner where his study was located. “Good to see you.” They shook hands and hugged.

“You don’t look bad.” Alexander muttered, and Manuel eyed him squarely, that very mischievous grin on his lips.

“And I must say you look….” Manuel paused, thinking of the right word. “What a lot of women might express as ‘eidible’.”

“I just came to see you.” Alexander rushed out, his heart beating so fast. For a moment, he wondered what he was so worried about. “I just came to see you, and also say hi to Bianca, as well as the entire family.”

“Oh really?” Manuel grinned. “Then you are very welcomed, dearest cousin of mine. Please make yourself comfortable, while I go get Bianca.” He muttered, gently pushing Alexander onto the sofa. After that, he made his way to the room to inform his wife of their cousin’s presence. The moment he pushed open the door, he was suprised to see Bella and Bianca in the room together. The words that had almost tumbled out of his mouth, hid themselves carefully. He had almost revealed that Alexander was around. Thank God he decided to look inside before speaking.

“Heyyyy…. Bella.” He grinned, walking towards the duo and dropping a chaste kiss on the cheek of the one who wasn’t his wife. “Don’t get jealous baby.” He winked at his wife who chuckled. He scanned the both of them to see they were casually dressed. “Are the ladies stepping out?”

“Yes. We could do with a walk around the garden, since you have been too busy for me all day.” Bianca muttered dryly.

“Come on now, baby.” Manuel chuckled as he made his way towards her. “But you know I have a lot of work to tend to. Work that had piled up on my desk for the past three weeks. You would have to manage without me tonight.” He sighed, before leaning down and capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Bella on the other hand, scratched her ear nervously, harbouring a slight feeling of jealousy. Manuel seemed to have noticed because he quickly broke off the kiss with his wife, and regained his focus. “Are you guys about leaving for your walk now?” He asked, to which the ladies nodded in agreement. “Alright. If you both could just spare a few minutes for me to take a pee. After that, I would escort you to the garden.”

“We don’t need a third wheel.” Bianca shot back, but he simply shrugged.

“I don’t plan on remaining with you both in the garden. I would leave after we get there.”

“Fine then.”

He quickly rushed into the bathroom for a fake pee, after which he stepped out a minute later.

“Shall we?” He asked, and the ladies nodded in agreement. They all walked out of the room and made their way down the long staircase. Manuel particular felt blessed to be in the midst of two expectant mothers. He looked at Bella’s belly, then released a sigh. She was sooooo heavy. His mother was right after all. Their marriage was in a very critical stage, and Alexander was only wasting a lot of time.

The moment they got to the end of the staircase and Bella saw Alexander, she released a loud gasp, looking very shocked.

“Oh wow! Alexander is here? I hadn’t an idea.” Manuel grinned as he walked towards Alex. “Welcome brother.” He greeted, making everyone except Bella chuckle. Bianca quickly left Bella’s side and walked to where her husband stood.

“Hello Alex. It’s been a while.” She gave him a hug, which he almost didn’t reciprocate, because his attention had been on Bella the whole time. She didn’t stay long in his embrace, before moving to her husband’s side, where they all watched the scene unfold between Alexander and Bella.

“H.. eeyy?” Bella muttered, unsure whether to wave or not. Alexander on the other hand had been more concerned about the way his wife was looking. She looked drained, had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were sunken. For a moment, he felt a pang of guilt within him, but reminded himself he was going through the exact same phase as well.

“Hey!” He breathed out, playing with the button of his sleeve.

“Uhhhmm….” Mia started. “Don’t you both need your space to talk?” She asked, but seeing the uncertainty on Alexander’s face made her hit hard on it. “You could both go up to Bella’s room. You could have all the privacy you need there.” At Mia’s suggestion, Alexander and Bella stared at each other for a while, before Alexander finally spoke up.

“Thank you Aunt.” He muttered, looking at his grateful wife. “If you could…. lead the way?”

“Yes! Of course.” She nodded and started walking up the staircase. Everyone shared a look when Alexander quickly reached out and assisted his wife by holding her waist as they both walked up together. He may have been mad as hell, but he hadn’t forgotten his manners.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Thank you.” She whispered as they walked out of sight from everyone. The moment they got into Bella’s room and closed the door behind them, Alexander gradually released a breathy sigh. They both stood together in the room, unable to say a word to each other.

“I…. ” Bella tried making a statement, but couldn’t complete it. Immediately, she locked eyes with Alexander who seemed eager to hear whatever she had wanted to say. He leaned back and relaxed onto the closed door, thinking of the best way to start a conversation with his wife whom he had missed so dearly. He was suprised when she took slow steps towards him, but he remained unmoving in his position.

When she finally got to him, her hand made its way up his face and caressed his cheeks. He hated the fact that he was leaning into her touch, but he couldn’t help it. This woman was literally like water to him, and God knows he had been thirsty for so long. He placed his hand on hers and slowly pulled it to his lips. She released a sigh when he dropped a chaste kiss on palm, making tingles run all over her body.

“I love you.” She choked out, instantly making him drop her hand. A frown etched onto her face, and her eyes got teary.

“Don’t say those words when you don’t mean them.” He gritted out, before pulling himself from the door and walking towards the bed.

“But I mean them.” A tear drop down her eyes.

“Or you are just saying that to me because you cannot afford to lose your cash cow?”

“What are you even saying?” She choked out, furiously cleaning the tears that continued to pour down her face. “You have never been that to me. I only did all I did because I didn’t want Patawan to hurt my family.”

“If you could try not to say the name of your lover to my face.” Alexander grunted, making her frown.

“He is not my lover.” She whispered. “I thought 4 weeks was enough for you to forgive me?” She asked, unable to hold his eyes as more tears poured out of her eyes. “And I’m not saying that you should just forgive me because I hope you would. I just…..”

“You just what?!” Alexander cut her off.

“I just want you to know that I know I made a great mistake! A mistake I’m ready to spend my lifetime correcting. But please, don’t leave me.” She cried out. “I would die of heartbreak Alex. You have become the center of my world and now, I do not even know how to cope without you.” She said, falling to her knees as more tears poured out her eyes. The moment she fell down, Alex joined her on the floor. He may have been so angry as to have walked out on her the last time, but not anymore. He definitely wouldn’t sit still and watch his heavily pregnant wife stress herself that way. How great was her mistake that she had to go that far? Immediately, his heart softened. Not just as a result of her actions, but the effect her words had on him. She said he had become the centre of her world, and she’d die of heartbreak if he left her. Could it be that his wife truly loved him as well?

“Are you being sincere when you say that you love me?” He muttered, his eyes getting redder.

“Oh, Alex.” She shook her head, a sad smile on her face. “I would be a fool not to. I started loving you, and I didn’t even realize it. I questioned myself to know the reason why, but I just didn’t know why.”

Alexander thought about her words for a moment. In truth, he heard that it was true love, when the person in question didn’t have a reason why they loved you.

“I just love you, and I cannot help it. Whenever I see you, I feel like my heart would combust the next minute. You are the first thing I think of when I wake up, and the last thing I think about before I sleep. Whenever you’re hurt, I feel hurt as well, and I feel worse when I am the cause of your pain. I have never imagined grooming a child with any other man but you. It’s only you that I need. No other man makes me….” Before she could complete her next statement, he captured her lips in a hungry kiss. The way he eagerly suckled on tongue was enough to show how much he had missed being so close to her. She grabbed his hair without even thinking, deepening their kiss as their tongues fought a battle of dominance. They were very much still kneeling, but didn’t really mind. His tongue left her lips and trailed down her neckline, leaving wet kisses here and there.

“Ahh!” She moaned out, the moment his lips suckled on the hollow and sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder. His hands gently took hold of her breasts, massaging them through the thin silky gown she was wearing. All he really wanted to do at that moment, was tear off her dress and suckle on her nipples.

Immediately, he disconnected their lips and helped her up, alongside him. He began unbuttoning his shirt so fast, that one might think he was in a sort of competition. At the end of the day, he had proven his subconscious right. Bella on the other hand, had started pulling down the flimsy strap of her gown. The moment the both straps came down her hands, they fell to her belly, exposing her perky breasts to Alexander who was left in just his boxers. Without thinking twice, he bent and latched his hungry lips onto her right nipple, suckling on it so gently.

“Aaahh…” She released a quiet moan, her hand pushing his head closer to her breasts. The next minute, he fell onto the bed on his back, and Bella hovered over him, settling herself comfortably on top of him. Her hands quickly made a grab for Alexander’s hard length, underneath his boxers. It went in and swiftly pulled his cock out, making Alexander sit up a bit. Thankfully, she had been wearing lace panties, which was quite easy to push to the side. Without further contemplation, she raised her weight and slid down on his waiting cock. They both released a gasp when he completely filled her. Oh, how she missed this feeling.

Placing both hands onto his chest for support, she started riding him.

“Fuck!” He breathed out, sweat breaking onto his forehead.

“Oh God!” She sighed, sweat equally trickling down her face, to the valley in between her breasts. This felt so good, after so many nights of needing her husband and he wasn’t there. The next minute, he was sitting up in the middle of the bed and joining his head with hers.

“I fucking missed this.” He released another satisfied sigh, holding each side of her waist and assisting her ride him easily.

“Me too.” She moaned, leaning forward to kiss him. Their tongues romanced each other as she continued pushing herself onto his cock. She was incredibly wet, making the pleasure hit them both differently. “Please don’t ever leave me again.” She begged in between kisses, before placing her hand on each side of his face and grabbing a fistful of his hair.

“Never!” He groaned out, moving his waist against her pussy much more aggressively.

“Ahhh!!” She released a loud moan, making him capture her mouth for yet another kiss. He didn’t want his family listening in on them now. It was going to be so embarrassing when they finally stepped out. He began plunging into her faster, obviously getting to his climax. But then, he didn’t want to cum before her, so he slowed down his pace.

“No please!” She rushed out. “Faster.” She begged, making it clear to him that she was close to her release as well. As per her request, he fastened his pace once more and within a minute, she was groaning, moaning, and scratching his back with her nails. All of those actions, were what finally brought him to his release. He had ended up cumming before her, but not long after, her pussy clenched his cock and she shook against him, her eyes blinking continuously. After a short while, she recovered from their just concluded exercise and looked at him.

“Thank you.”

“No.” He shook his head in disagreement. “Thank you. For loving me and being so patient.” Her eyes became clouded with tears and she leaned in to kiss him.

“I don’t deserve you.” She muttered as he cleaned the tears that had dropped from her eyes.

“You are deserving of every good thing, wifey. Every good thing.” He repeated, engulfing her in a warm but sweaty hug. In that moment, all Bella could do, was thank God. For weeks, she didn’t feel okay. She thought she was probably going to die from so much crying and heart ache. She couldn’t thank God enough for bringing him back to her. He was her everything.

“I love you so much.” She whispered into his ear.

“And I love you more.” He whispered into hers.
