His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone’s attention.

All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella’s having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.

Bella’s gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.

“These are no fun to take! It’s really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.

“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.

They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid whom Eva killed and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule.

Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.

This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier.

Things even got worse when she got into the third trimester, that it became difficult to know what suited her taste.

Bella rolled her eyes and sighed. “It’s part of the fruits the doctor recommended. Besides, you wanted it so bad yesterday, that you even made my brother go out so late at night to get it.” She reminded with yet another sigh.

“It was what the baby and I wanted last night, but this is another day, so we’d likely prefer something else.” Lillian glanced down at her baby bump and rubbed it with care as a small smile found its way to her lips.

Although, the pregnancy could be tiring, but it was still one of the best things that happened to her. Even if she barely managed to overcome her fear of giving birth to the child, she still never failed to pray for the day of giving birth to finally come.

“So what now? Want my life today?” Bella joked with a sly smile.

It was Lillian’s turn to roll her eyes as she went mute, but not for long.

“By the way, I see you’ve changed your perfume’s brand. This smells better, you know.” She giggled, leaving Bella to heave a sigh of relief.

It really hasn’t been easy staying beside a pregnant woman and helping out. From making sure they don’t get upset with one to trying to do things that were perfect in their sight.

Only the heavens knew how many times Bella changed her perfume until she finally found this, which she started using some days back. She knew it was good when Lillian didn’t say anything on the day she began to use it. Normally, a complaint against the perfume would have started on that same day.

All these didn’t exclude Don but just like Bella, he also tried to find preferable colognes which didn’t end quite well until recently. It even got to a time when all of them decided not to use either perfumes or colognes.

“I’m glad you finally like it.” Bella glanced at her with a smile.

Lillian didn’t say a word again and allowed herself to enjoy the massages from the maids.

This past few months had been nothing but the best months for Lillian, especially since her marriage. There was no reason for her not to love her husband because he had been by her side like he promised.

There was also no Eva to steal his attention away from her as she died and was buried like the betrayal she became.

Although, Lillian wasn’t happy about her death because after all, she was also a human like her. But after hearing all about the atrocities Eva committed against her, she was upset, even though she still wished Eva had paid for her sins differently.

Only if Eva wasn’t as evil as she was!

As for Mark, he was jailed to ten years imprisonment for kidnap and attempted murder.

Lillian felt he deserved it for what he made her pass through, but within her, she believed it was just to turn a blind eye to his punishment.

But none of that bothers her now because she had learned to live past everything that had happened.

“Oh goodness, what’s taking my brother so long?” Bella mumbled under her breath as she glanced at the time on her phone.

Lillian shot her a glance, even if she barely heard what she said. “You know you can go ahead for your date, right?” Lillian could read through Bella’s expression to understand her state of urgency.

“No. I promised to look after you, which I’ll do until my brother arrives.”

Lillian stared at the determined lady and her lips curled into a smile, “I just don’t want you to keep Rex waiting for too long.”

Well, Bella and Rex had finally decided to take things a step further and this would actually be their fourth date since their relationship started.

“He doesn’t mind after all.” Bella heaved out, still checking on her time, at the same time glancing at the gate to find a trace of her brother.

Rex already understood the situation at hand, so he wouldn’t get mad even if she makes it late. The only thing that kept her mind worried was that they planned to do quite a lot on their date before they’ll round it up in the cinema, and they’ll need to begin early to fulfill all their goals.

Just then, the gate slid open and Don’s car came driving in. He alighted with Drake and Draco. And Rex? He was permitted to get prepared for his date with Bella, so he wasn’t with them.

Lillian’s eyes lit up instantly as her eyes darted to the bouquet of red roses in Don’s right hand. She watched with ecstasy as he drew nearer.

Only one thing hindered her from running to hug him right then, and it was because of her heavy pregnancy. But did it stop her for long? No.

Her hands wrapped around his well-built body as she inhaled his cologne, even though her baby bump didn’t permit her to have much contact like she’d wanted.

Don chuckled, handling the roses to one of the maids before reciprocating the hug. He tried not to hug her tightly too.

“Finally! You’re back. I’ll leave the both of you alone now.” Bella sprang up from her seat with a sigh, watching the couple with a smile. Then she made her way into the house to get prepared for her date, even if she was already dressed.

“What kept you so long?” Lillian disengaged after a while and pouted.

Don found her cute currently and he tilted his head a little to the side. “I’m sorry, I had to complete some urgent work, but I got you a bouquet of flowers to make up.” Don spread one side of her lips with a finger in a smile, and she glanced at the roses before bursting into light laughter.

“Nice try.” Lillian smirked, but it didn’t last as a pain struck her lower abdomen.

She let out a loud scream that alerted everyone in the house, including Bella, who ran out of the house to help out.

“The baby… It’s coming….” Lillian gasped out with beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
