His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Followed?? By who?” Bella took a glance at Lillian who was now freaking out and took a deep breath.

“I don’t know who it is.” Bella replied as she increased the speed.

“Please reduce the speed already, I don’t want to die now.” Lillian cried out in fear.

“Just let me concentrate, Lillian.” Bella said, almost in a yell.

The car behind them also increased their speed trying to overcome Bella and soon they did. They stopped right in front of Bella’s car, making her halt immediately.

The people in the other car got down and began taking strides towards Bella’s car. Lillian couldn’t help but to tremble in fear as they approached them, but Bella started the engine of her car again and made a quick reverse. They also got into their car, following Bella almost immediately.

Bella drove into a lonely narrow road at great speed and the people in the other car who couldn’t catch up with her brought out a gun and shot the two tyres at the back.

“Ah!” Lillian screamed in fright.

“Shit!” The speed reduced and Bella stopped the car.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“What happened?” Lillian asked in panic.

“We have flat tyres at the back, and we can’t drive with it.” Bella explained as she thought of what to do.

The people in the other car stopped their car as well and smiled in delight. They got down and Bella also got down.

She stylishly counted them with her eyes, and they were just three men in number. She smirked and moved away from her car going close to them, and she stopped when she was sure she was far away from her car.

“You’d better bring out that lady in the car and surrender to us now.” One of them said.

“And why would I do that?” Bella asked, still wearing the smirk.

“Because you’re just one, and we’re three, so you’ve been outnumbered.” One of the men replied with a lopsided smile.

“You know it’s not the quantity that matters, it’s the quality. Fight me if you dare, let’s see how capable you are.” The men looked at each other and turned back to face her, who still had the smirk on.

“We’ve got no time to waste.” One of them started coming close to Bella, and she stood her ground, not bulging. He tried to grab her, and she kicked his groin hard. He groaned and fell on his knees to the floor. She gave him a hard kick on his face and he screamed, falling flatly on the floor. He tried to stand on his feet but was stopped by another flying kick from Bella.

The others became alerted and one of them ran towards her with a kick, and she quickly dodged it. He fell out of balance, giving Bella the opportunity to grab him, and she slammed his head to the wall. She did this four times, and he fell unconscious to the floor.

The last one, deciding to use a different method, brought his gun out and pointed it at her.

“If you move, I’ll blow your skull off.” He threatened and she raised her hands in surrender.

“Now turn around.” He slowly went closer to her with the gun and made to grab her with both hands, still pointing the gun at her, but Bella turned instantly and stabbed him with the knife she had secretly brought out of her clothes.

She collected his gun immediately and stabbed him again. He groaned and fell to the floor, holding the side of his stomach. She took him by the collar and pushed him hard to the wall, that he hit his head and blacked out.

The one that had attacked her first tried to escape, but she was quick to catch him. She dragged him back by the collar and pointed the gun on his head.

“Who sent you?” She scowled at him, but he kept quiet, breathing heavily.

“If you don’t speak up now, I won’t waste time sending you to hell!” She threatened to push the cold metal gun more to his head and the man became scared.

“It was ……” Bella threw him to the floor before he could finish. She had already knew who sent him with the mark she saw on his neck.

“Get lost and never return!” She growled and he fled for his life.

She put the gun in her slacks, covering it with her blouse as she went back to her car and saw Lillian sweating and staring at her in fear. Lillian saw everything, and now she was in for it.

She made to enter but stopped when she remembered they had flat tyres. She slammed the door back, making Lillian shudder. She slightly hit her head and took her purse from the car, bringing out her phone as she dialed on it.

“Hello! I need you to help me with another car. It’s urgent.”

“You fools! How could you be so incompetent!”

“We’re sorry, boss, but we underestimated them.” One of the boys apologized lowly.

“Are you trying to tell me Don’s new wife could fight you all?” Brandon asked in gritted teeth.

“No, boss. It was his sister, Bella.” Brandon turned sharply to one of the bandaged men.

“And how could you even underestimate her? Shouldn’t you know, a sister to Lucifer is also a devil!” He screamed to his face and he bowed.

“Get out of my presence, you bunch of weaklings.” He said again, and all of them scurried out.

“This isn’t over yet.” He thought with gritted teeth and knuckles tightened in a fist.

*************

Bella took the stairs, heading to her brother’s room.

“Is he in?” She asked, getting to his door.

“Yes.” The guards at the door paved way for her and she went in. She went straight to the couch and sat down, crossing her legs.

“I was told you sent for me.” She announced. Don was pulling off his shirt.

“I heard you were attacked.” Don asked now hanging his shirt.

“Yes by some riffraff.” Bella replied with a shrug.

“Do you have an idea who might have Masterminded it?” Don asked as he went to sit on his bed.

“Brandon.” Bella said simply.

“Brandon?” Don repeated rubbing his beard.

“Yeah. I saw his logo on of the men’s body.” Bella replied and silence ensued between them before Don broke it.

“I don’t know why you went out with her in the first place.” Bella stared at him for a moment like he said something stupid.

“Are you trying to say that it would have been nice, if she died of boredom here in the house?” She asked amused.

“And who said she was going to die of boredom?” Don asked back.

“Of course she would if she doesn’t have some fun.” Bella replied with a scoff.

“Staying home all day is the best for someone like her.” Don said, making Bella stare at him in disbelief.

“What is even wrong with you, Don? Ever since you married her, you haven’t tried to be a good husband.” She blurted out in annoyance.

“You know what the rules were, get married with no feelings attached.” Don replied coldly.

“There were no rules, Don. You made the damn rules yourself, and it will be better if you could keep it to yourself.” Bella fired back.

“You should at least try to keep the fact that you’re married, or did you think I don’t know?” She continued and Don looked up at her.

“I knew you slept with that messed up slut that calls herself Eva on your wedding night, and you don’t even look as if you feel remorseful about it.”

“She’s a human like you and needs to be treated as one.” With this, she stood up and walked away. Don stared at his sister’s retreating figure and scoffed.
