His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

She knocked on the door and paused for a while. She knocked again until she heard a voice.

“Come in.”

She went in, but after looking left and right to be sure no one was watching.

“What brings you to my wonderful abode?” He asked with his face turning into in a wide smile.

“The last time I checked, this isn’t your house, and I am entitled to come into any room I want at any time I like.” She replied, folding her hands underneath her boobs.

“I see.” He muttered, clicking his tongue in a small nod.

“Don’t tell me you came all the way here just to prove your rights? Or did you as well come for something else?” He inquired and smirked at his last statement.

Eva scoffed, staring at him with an irritated look.

“I didn’t come for any of that. I only came here because I needed your help.” She clarified, rolling her eyes.

“My help?” He asked to be sure and scoffed.

“The last time I gave that to you, you almost refused to pay back.” He replied.

“I did pay you back, you were the one just being too greedy to accept a one-time payment.” She fired at him.

“It’s part of me. Anyway, aren’t you scared that I might require another payment for that same favor this minute?”

“You wouldn’t dare.” She spat out, and he busted into outrageous laughter.

“I wouldn’t or I shouldn’t?” He asked amidst laughter.

“Just stop this shit, Klaus. Does this sound like a joke to you?” She asked, looking frustrated.

“You’re making it sound like one, sweetheart.” He said in a grin.

“I’m nowhere close to being your sweetheart. I belong to Don and him alone, why don’t you get that?” She replied in between gritted teeth, and he scoffed out again.

“It seems so to you, but it doesn’t to him.” He replied slowly, smirking.

“And what is that supposed to mean?” She asked, etching her brows, confused.

“You claim to be his, but I solemnly think he’s slowly drifting away from you.” He said with a nod.

“I mean, look at it from this angle, you’ll now have to share him with another lady who he happens to be legally married to.” He continued slowly as he demonstrated with his finger.

“Stop spitting such nonsense, he’s mine and mine alone.” Eva said with all boldness, earning a mocking chuckle from Klaus.

She heaved a sigh and removed her hands from beneath her boobs.

“To be honest, that’s the reason I’m here. I feel he’s no longer giving me that attention which I’m supposed to get from him. Just take a look at when he heard she was kidnapped, he had to gather boys like he was going to some kind of war.” She complained bitterly.

“I don’t need that. I need back the Don who doesn’t care for anyone else except from me and probably his bitch of a sister. I need to make sure I’m sharing him with no one.” She continued in dismay.

“Well, you quite know you have to do what you have to do to get what you want, right?” Klaus said, resting back on the headboard.

“Which is?” She asked with a knowing look.

“You know the answer already, but since you still want to hear it directly, no problem. I want you to satisfy every damn urge I feel inside.” He said, and she let out a scoff.

“Oh my goodness, Klaus! Try to be responsible. Aren’t you afraid of what Don might do to you when he finds out you’ve been digging the same hole as him?” She asked.

“I will only if you also have that fear of what he might do to you when he finds out all your deeds!” Klaus said, and she scoffed.

“Are you threatening me now?” She asked, taken aback.

“I didn’t know I did.” He replied with a shrug.

“You’re just so unbelievable!” She spat out, looking pissed off. She exhaled sharply and stomped out of the room.

Lillian watched as her phone rang, but she didn’t attempt to pick it. It started ringing again, and she neglected it, just like she’s been doing in the few past minutes.

It was her elder brother, but she wasn’t ready to answer it, at least not now that she was still upset with all of them.

The phone started ringing again, and she took it up and instead, she put the phone on airplane mode. She needed to make him know he had offended her really bad, even her parents.

She stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. Everywhere was boring to her, so she decided to go outside for some fresh air.

She gave a slight nod to the maids who had seen and greeted her as she walked past them.

“Hey!” A man she’s never met before said, stopping right in front of her.

“Hi?” She replied more like a question.

“You don’t seem to know me.” He said in a chuckle.

She let out a light scoff in a small smile. How does he expect her to know him when they’ve met before?

“Yes, I don’t think I’ve met you before.” She replied, nodding her head affirmatively.

“Really? I was with your husband when you came to show your gratitude for saving you.” He said, demonstrating a little with his hand.

Lillian squinted her eyes, trying to recall if truly she’s seen his face before.

“But, it’s fine. I’ll still introduce myself right.” He continued sucking in his breath.

“I think I remember now, though I didn’t quite see your face clearly.” She chipped in.

How could she easily forget the person who’d almost killed her with smoke?

“Yeah, I’m Klaus, by the way, and your husband’s close friend.” He said, stretching forth his hand for a handshake.

“I’m Lillian. I’m sure your friend must have told you some things about me.” She replied, accepting his handshake as she anticipated for an answer, but he just smiled.

“I must really say you’re one hell of a beauty! Could you believe I almost lost control after seeing you earlier?” He said and she chuckled.

“Yes, I almost wished you were mine due to how sexily you walked.” He continued, and she chuckled again, this time uncomfortably.

“Thank you for the compliments.” She said in a smile, trying to remove her hands from his, but his hold was firm.

“You could melt a man’s heart just by your voice.” He remarked with a smile that seems rather too flirty.

She quietly tried to remove her hand from his as she was beginning to find it annoying.

She wished he could just release her hand presently to prevent seeing her rude side.

“Let her go.” They both heard a low yet authoritative voice.
