Chapter 8 – “My husband is arrogant.”
The limousine drove into the compound and parked well at the entrance of the giant building in it. Lillian and Don got down almost immediately as he left her behind, making her scoff. So much for having a husband.
He went upstairs to his room and opening the door, he met Eva on his bed stylishly sitting with legs crossed as if waiting for his arrival. He paused for a moment and finally entered, closing the door behind him.
“How did you get in?” He asked as he walked to the wardrobe and started pulling off his clothes.
“I wanted to be the first person to congratulate you on your wedding.” She said instead in sarcasm and stood up.
“You got married today to another lady after all we’ve gone through together?” She asked when he didn’t look like he would say anything about it.
“How could you after knowing how much I love you?” She asked again, but Don didn’t say a word. He continued what he was doing.
“You didn’t even care about my feelings or what my reaction would be. You didn’t even…….”
“Enough Eva. I married that lady out of pity and nothing more.” Don finally said, surprising her.
“Pity?” She asked amazed.
“And when did you start having pity for people, and I didn’t know about it?” She asked, getting more pissed than she already was.
“Answer me Don.” She said again when he didn’t reply and walked closer to him.
“You don’t have an answer to that?” She asked in a mocking tone.
“Don’t push this further, Eva.” Don said quietly.
“What do you…..” She tried to continue.
“I said, don’t push this further!” Don cut short dangerously as he sharply turned to her and Eva knew better to keep shut.
He entered into the restroom, and she went quietly to the bed and sat down, facepalming herself.
Don shouted at her and because of a bitch? She sure wasn’t going to let it pass.
Don came out minutes later with his body dripping wet and a towel tied around his waist. He walked to the wardrobe and Eva came to hug him from behind, making him stiffen for a second before he continued selecting his wear.
She tiptoed and kissed his neck. She nibbled on his neck for a while before coming to stand at his front.
“I’m sorry if I pissed you off.” She apologized, trying to kiss him on his lips and he was quick to take his face away.
She felt slightly hurt, even though she was used to it already. Furthermore, she moved her lips to his earlobes, making sure her boobs were pressing hard against his chest.
He dropped the clothes he was selecting and faced her with dark eyes. Yes! She’s turned him on already.
He grabbed her ass and she moaned out loud. He showered kisses from her face to her neck but not on her lips and slowly they both went to the bed.
******************
Lillian went straight to the bed and sank on it immediately she entered her supposed room. She looked around it for a while and saw it was just as perfect as she would love her room to be.
The room was well furnished and painted in her favorite color which was white. Its designs were also beautiful, making her wonder if it was the same arrogant man she got married to that did all of these, but she doubted it.
The maidservants entered with all her belongings, and they tried arranging it, but she stopped them.
“Don’t bother, I’ll do it myself.” She said adjusting her gown.
“Ma’am, we were asked to…….” One of them tried saying but was cut off.
“And I said, don’t bother. They’re my things and I would arrange it myself. So, you can leave now.” She said more of an order.
All her life, she’s lived without maids, so she was used to doing things herself.
The maids all bowed before leaving.
She got up from the bed and managed to zip down her dress by herself. She pulled off her wedding gown as she went into the restroom.
Likewise, she came out a few minutes later and went to one of her boxes to search for her nightgown. Not only that, but she brought it out and wore it. She dried her wet hair with a towel and threw it on the chair in front of the dressing table. She sat on the bed with a sigh.
Gosh, she was so tired and needed to sleep. She laid down and properly placed her head on the pillow, then closed her eyes. She started drifting to sleep, but then a knock came in. She sat up, and the knock came again.
“Who is that?” She said, thinking if it was her so-called husband.
“It is a person.” A lady’s voice said, and she became at rest. She was really not ready to face him right now.
“And who is the person?” She asked with a muddled look.
“The person is a person.” The lady said, and one could easily detect the sarcasm in the voice.
What the hell was the person saying? Does she think she was dumb or what?
“Well, I’ll come in.”The lady said and entered.
“Who are you?” Lillian asked with a glare.
“Chill sister-in-law, I’ve got no problem with you. I just came here to introduce myself and maybe get to know you better.” Bella said in a shrug.
“Well, I don’t have the energy for that.” Lillian muttered to herself, but Bella heard her anyway.
“Have you had dinner?” Bella asked with raised eyebrows.
“No, but I don’t…..” Lillian tried to make up an excuse.
“No excuses. I’ll ask the maid to get you food, and don’t reject it.” Bella chirped in as she left and came back almost immediately with a tray of food.
“Well, I already asked the maids to arrange the food before I came in here, and an order was the only thing needed to bring it to you.” She explained to Lillian, who looked taken aback by how quick she arrived with the food.
“Here you go, and don’t even think I would leave this room if you don’t have this food.” She said again as she dropped the tray in front of her.
Lillian slowly uncovered the plate and took a few spoons of the pasta garnished with beef. She really didn’t have the strength for argument right now.
“Are you satisfied now? You could have some more if you want.” Bella urged.
“No, I’m okay. You can leave now. I want to sleep.” Lillian replied, taking the tray to the cabinet.
“You must be so tired then.” Bella said as she watched Lillian settle properly on the bed.
“As you can see.” Lillian uttered without looking at her.
“You know, you and my brother are so boring.” Bella said as she rolled her eyes and carried the tray.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Lillian asked, pausing for a moment.
“What if my brother had wanted you today being your wedding night?” Bella said in a smirk.
“And I still don’t get what you’re saying.” Lillian stated, staring keenly at the lady in her room.
“What if he decided to have sex with you, as you are now his wife?” Bella said plainly, and that made her cringe.
“You’re acting like a naive girl right now, and I hope you’re just pretending because we don’t actually do that here.” Bella said again in a wink as she turned and left.
“What the heck was that?” Lillian mumbled and laid back on the bed.

UNKNOWN PLACE*
“So,,,,, Lillian is married?” The boss asked for the third time, backing the boy as he tapped on the arm rest of his chair.
“Yes boss and not just to any person but to a Mafia Lord.” The boy replied, still with his head bowed.
“I see. Tell me more.” He inquired as he rubbed his beards.
“She is married to Don, a dangerous and ruthless Mafia lord, and they got married today.” The boy announced.
“Do you know if she willingly married him?” He asked, turning slightly to him.
“We don’t know of that yet.” The boy replied as fast as he could.
“Gather more information about this Don guy, I want to know him more.” The boss said as he swiveled his chair to face the boy.
“Alright boss.” The boy bowed and left.
“Wow! My darling Lillian is married, and to a drug lord. Interesting!” He said with an evil grin.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
