His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Repeat the same thing.” Drake ordered and Lillian did as instructed. She moved the gear to its first gear and drove the car backwards, making a U- turn before she finally stopped the engine.

“Yay!” Lillian screamed happily throwing her hands in the air and Drake covered his two ears with his hands.

“I finally know how to drive!” She screamed again as she happily hugged Drake.

“Oops sorry.” She said again, withdrawing almost immediately.

“It’s alright.” He said in a small smile.

“So, where should we go from here?”

“We’ll go back to the mansion.” Drake shrugged.

“Alright, I will drive us back.” Lillian said in a smile and ignited the engine. Though, the drive back home was just five minutes which was not that far, she was still smiling like she achieved something great of which it was to her.

She horned and the gate opened. She drove in and parked just a few meters away from the entrance of the house.

“That’s all for today, we’ll continue tomorrow.” Drake said in a small smile.

“Okay.” Lillian replied in a nod and they both got down from the car.

Drake headed towards the back of the mansion while Lillian proceeded to the house in all smiles and unknown to her, Don was upstairs staring at her from the balcony. He only stopped when she fully went into the house.

She went to the kitchen and met some maids there. They all greeted her, and she waved them all off.

“Aurora, make me a sandwich.” She said, heading to the refrigerator.

“Alright ma’am.” Aurora replied in a bow and set to work.

Lillian took out a chilled table water and a glass cup from the fridge before finally going upstairs to her room.

She went directly to sit on her bed. She opened the bottled water in her hand, pouring its content into the cup, and gulped it all down at once.

She dropped the cup and bottle on the cabinet before climbing fully on the bed. She sighed as she rested on the headboard with her eyes closed.

Now, she was beginning to miss Bella. How can she even cope with Bella’s departure when she was already missing her from the first day she left? Why did this have to happen to her?

The door opened shortly, making her open her eyes and Aurora came in with a tray in her hands.

“This is what you asked for, ma’am.” She said as she dropped the tray on the cabinet.

“Do you need anything else?” She asked.

“No, thank you.” Lillian replied in a smile and Aurora left the room.

She took the tray on the cabinet and placed it on the bed in front of her, adjusting properly on the bed as she did that. She started eating but stopped when she heard the door open again.

She looked up at who it was, and her eyes widened in shock. She watched as he came closer to her with his hands behind his back.

“What is he doing in my room, or did he miss his way?” She thought within herself as she furrowed her brows.

He stopped walking when he was almost close to the bed, as he stared intently at her for a while. This made Lillian so uncomfortable, and she took her gaze back to the tray, but without touching it.

“Get dressed and come downstairs. You have a few minutes to do that.” Don ordered, and she looked up at him immediately. What was he saying?

He turned back and left, leaving Lillian in dismay.

What does he mean by she had few minutes to do that?

Couldn’t he see what she was about to do?

She stared at her food and stared back at the door.

“It wouldn’t hurt to just have a taste of this.” She mumbled in a shrug as she diverted her attention back to the sandwich.

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

Don sat down on the couch with his legs crossed as he pressed his phone whilst he waited for Lillian. He was already growing impatient, so he signalled for Draco to come closer. Draco came forward and bent over.

“Get……” The sound of clicking heels interrupted him, and he looked to see Lillian climbing down the stairs.

She was dressed in a blue sparkling flare gown with white heels. She had a white purse to match.

Don was almost unable to take his eyes off her, even Draco and Rex got dazed by her beauty at that moment.

She smiled inwardly, seeing what was happening. One thing she loved was being admired by people, and she was getting that now.

Don finally took his gaze away when she was close enough to him.

“I hate it when I wait too much. Consider yourself lucky today because you might not have the grace another day.” Don said rashly and stood up, leaving with the guys.

Lillian rolled her eyes before following them as she tried hard to meet their pace.

They got outside and went towards a black Jeep parked not far from them. Rex opened the door for Lillian while Draco opened for Don, and they also entered before finally driving out of the house.

“Where are we going?” Lillian said, looking totally clueless.

She really had a difficult time dressing because she didn’t know if she were to dress formally or casually, and that was why she came out late.

“You should keep quiet, I hate noisy ladies.” Don finally replied after seconds of silence as he rested on the seat awing Lillian, and she glared at him.

“I saw that young lady.” Don announced and Lillian turned to the window, staring outside as she badly wished they would get to wherever they were going soon enough.

They finally got to their destination after some minutes, which felt like hours to Lillian.

She was the first to get out of the car, and she breathed in the fresh air with a smile. Don scoffed at this as he also stepped out. Rex and Draco also got out and came to stand behind Don, who was now beside Lillian.

Lillian looked at the tall building in front of her, and she couldn’t help but be mesmerized by its beauty. It looked like a company, but what were they doing there anyway?

Don took the lead whilst she walked beside him, trying to meet his pace. One thing she has noticed about him is that he walks quite fast. Rex and Draco followed behind too.

“Stay here, I’ll be back soon.” Don said and left with his guards. Lillian looked around her and guessed it was a reception, but what does he mean by she should stay there? Did she tell him she wanted to apply for the job of a receptionist?

She scoffed and sat down with a frown. She brought out her phone from her purse and started playing games to avoid any sorts of boredom.

* AN HOUR AND MINUTES LATER*

Lillian yawned and exited the game. She put the phone back in her purse, as she was now so tired. She looked around the place but didn’t find any trace of Don nor his guards.

She wondered where they were and what they were doing. She stood up and faced the direction Don had taken. Should she go and see what was happening? She thought but sat down back when she remembered she didn’t know anywhere around.

She stood up again and, deciding to find her way home, she tried taking the exit.

“And where do you think you’re going?” Don said from behind, startling her and she turned to him instantly.

“Do you know anywhere around?” He said again, but Lillian remained silent.

“You should better know this isn’t your father’s company.” He said the third time and walked past her.

Lillian noticed a briefcase she didn’t even know he was holding. She just shrugged it off and followed him.

“Where to now, boss?” Rex said as they all settled in the car.

“A restaurant.” Don replied in a deep voice. Rex nodded as he ignited the engine and drove out of the company.
