His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

“Boss, as we speak, they’re after me and…” Mara glanced at the men running after her and she mumbled, “F*ck!”

They were so close to her that in a few seconds they could catch up with her. F*ck herself for making the injuries on her look so real. Now, she couldn’t even run properly with all the injuries she inflicted on herself.

The men, who happened to be Don’s guards, split into two groups as one group out took Mara and blocked her from running further.

Figuring there was no other way out as the guards already circled her with their guns pointing directly at her, Mara halted and without a second warning, threw her phone into the nearby river.

All the guards were shocked, realizing what she just did, but none of them bulged to retrieve the phone. As long as they caught Mara first, they’re sure to get all the information they wanted, including the reason she shot Eva.

“Hello? Mara!” The line had already disconnected, but Pablo didn’t realize it until there was no more sound from the other end.

He tossed his phone into his pocket with a sigh. He was certain that Mara was in trouble, especially since he heard of how she shot two bullets at Eva. Whatever trouble it was, he hoped she wouldn’t ruin his plans.

“What did you say happened to her?” He diverted his attention to the unconscious lady on the bed.

“We had come to retrieve the tray, then we saw her like this. It seemed she fainted, as she still has pulse, though it’s weak.” The guard, who stood near Lillian, glanced at his boss then at Lillian.

Pablo gazed at the tray on the small table in the room, the food on it wasn’t even touched.

“Should we call the doctor?” The guard added.

“I don’t have much time to waste….. Besides, it’s not like she will last long anyway….” Pablo muttered the last sentence with a dark smile.

Even though he wished for her to witness her last moment on earth, he still couldn’t bring himself to help the daughter of his biggest enemy.

“Just get things ready and leave the rest…”

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

At the top floor of a building, Pablo’s men were gathered in one of its spacious yet confined room. The lingering items and dusts scattered around made it so obvious that it was an abandoned space.

The men, who were already looking stressed due to the amount of work they just finished doing, started leaving the place one after the other. Their job there was done.

In another corner of the room, Pablo was seen standing in front of an unconscious Lillian, and she wasn’t in a good position.

She was tied harshly to a chair as a black cello tape sealed her lips together, but that was not all. Still on the chair with her, a bomb was tied to her, though it was not beeping yet.

“Does this girl really want to die before I finally kill her?” Pablo scoffed out, his gaze fixed on her face for a brief moment.

Then he dialed a number on his cellphone, but he paused when Lillian’s eyes slowly flickered open. She stared at her surroundings for a while before her gaze fell back on him, fears evident in her eyes.

Pablo’s lips curled into a smile as he resumed with his phone.

“Pablo, what in the hell do you gain doing this?” Sir. Jeffrey’s angry voice instantly boomed from the other side of the phone.

Pablo’s brow raised for a moment, then he replied dryly, “Do you expect me to answer that?”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“You of all people should know what my gain is. I’ll love to see you in pain, as that will be the only thing that’ll soothe my resentful heart against you, and that’s what I’m doing now.”

“You? How could you……..” Sir. Jeffrey went speechless for a second before he continued, “After all we were in the past. We were like brothers.”

“Like you said, it’s all in the past.” A cold expression struck Pablo’s face, that it really shook Lillian on the chair.

He didn’t want to think about the past because the only thing that had clouded his mind for many years now was to get revenge!

“Your daughter is right in front of me here and she needs your help. But as a father, I wonder what you can do, especially since you have five minutes to save her.”

“What?”

“You heard me right, Jeffrey. You have just five minutes to rescue her. Don’t say I didn’t give you the opportunity to rescue your one and only daughter because I have.”

“How do you expect me to save her in just that short period of time?”

“Exactly! I don’t want you to find her. I’ll send you the address right now.” Pablo hung up immediately as he sent the address before turning the cellphone off.

Tears welled up Lillian’s eyes and shortly, it all began to rush down. She had so much to say, questions to ask, but unfortunately, her mouth was sealed.

Pablo noticed this and smirked. He had a reason for sending the address to Lillian’s Dad.

For starters, he knew he wouldn’t be able to save her, so by the time Sir. Jeffrey arrives, Lillian would have been burnt to death and her father will live forever with the guilt of not being able to save his only daughter.

Without further hesitation, Pablo turned on the bomb and scoffed out as he walked out in pride of finally accomplishing his long-time goal. He would definitely watch from afar as the drama unfolds.

As soon as Pablo left the building completely, two cars screeched to a halt in the compound as the first one opened and Don jumped out of it in a haste.

He glanced at the cellphone in his hand before running into the building, with Rex running after him and Draco staying behind to watch out for enemies from the outside.

A sudden kick sent Don clashing to the nearby wall. Rex was quick to defend himself after seeing what happened to his boss, and he rushed to side with his boss immediately.

It was some of Pablo’s goons. They were assigned to stay in the building to a certain point before they could leave, just in case people like Don came to ruin the plan like this.

One of the men sighted the tracking signal on the phone which was now on the floor, and he quickly marched it with his leather boots, smashing the phone’s screen into pieces.

Don gained back his balance as he glanced at the phone on the floor and clenched his fists tight by his side. That was meant to lead him to Lillian faster, but now, it was destroyed.

His gaze raised with a deep frown to meet the men in front of him, then he waged at them in anger, accompanied by Rex by his side.
