His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

Chapter 59 – Preparation for the operation.



Lillian stared blankly at her phone as she sat with her legs folded on the bed. The message kept ringing a bell in her ears, as it also sent fear into her.

What did the message mean? Were her enemies at work again? Were they ready to attack her once again? Who sent it? Or could it be a mistake?

Different questions ran through her mind, and she didn’t know when Bella entered the room.

Bella paused for a moment at the door, her brows etched, confused as she stared at Lillian’s sitting posture. She heaved a low sigh before closing the door behind her.

Curiosity washed over when she got to Lillian, and she didn’t look like she had noticed her presence. She waved her hand at her face, hitting her thumb and middle finger to make a sound, and Lillian blinked rapidly, suddenly conscious of her.

They stared at each other for a few seconds before Lillian tossed her phone to her side.

“You’re here.” She muttered lowly, taking her gaze to the bed mattress.

“Yes, I’m here,” Bella announced, sitting in the small space near her.

“What happened? You were staring into your phone.” She stated the obvious.

“It’s nothing,” Lillian mumbled.

“Nothing? You zoned off and didn’t realize when I got here, did you?” Bella uttered loudly as she raised a brow.

“It’s nothing,” Lillian muttered.

“I’ve noticed you’ve been in an awful mood since breakfast this morning. Are you sure you’re alright?” Bella asked softly this time.

She remembered all these started when Lillian read into her phone back in the dining room and was very sure her phone was the root of the problem.

“Yeah, I’m certain.” Lillian breathed out.

“So, why are you here?” She asked, changing the topic.

Bella observed this but decided to play along and not push further.

“Well, I came to know when we should go shopping.” She conveyed in a shrug.

“Shopping? Any occasion for that?” Lillian asked, turning her gaze to her with surprise written over her face.

“Yeah. There is a birthday party coming up and we are invited. By that, we need to get a few new things, you know, to rock the party.” Bella announced, swaying her body gently.

“Wow!”

“But, you know, we don’t have to go shopping for new clothes.” Lillian shrugged.

“Of course, we need to. It’s your first time attending, so you need to grace them with your presence. You’re Don’s wife.” Bella shrieked, tilting her head to the side, and Lillian scoffed out lowly.

“A wife he doesn’t regard.” She muttered under her breath and stood to her feet, but Bella still heard her anyway.

“But his family does. It doesn’t matter whether he does or not, but as long as I do, there’s no problem with that.” She uttered and Lillian chuckled.

“That’s just the truth.” She added.

“So, you married me now?” Lillian asked with a smile playing around her lips.

“It doesn’t matter who married you. You’re a part of the family.” Bella announced, making Lillian’s smile grow wider.

“Thank you for the wonderful words of encouragement,” Lillian uttered and bowed slightly in a way that made Bella burst into laughter.

In less than seconds, she also joined in the laughter, and the air became filled with laughter.

“Oh my goodness!” Lillian muttered amidst laughter as she wiped off a tear on her eyelid.

Soon, the laughter died down, but smiles never left their faces.

“I’m pressed, excuse me please.” Lillian let out holding on to her abdomen area before leaving for the restroom.

“Here is the border entrance and here is where the operation will take place,” Bella uttered, mapping out some drawings on the electric board with a single line.

“This area here is where the goods will be brought down and transferred to the vehicle which will take it to our warehouse.” She continued mapping out another area on the board.

“Four groups will be formed, with seven men in each, we are sure to offload all the goods in less than thirty minutes.” She added before covering the lid of the marker.

“Have any questions, raise your hand.” She voiced out, turning to face the people in the room with her.

Nobody moved a finger, and she nodded.

“Then we can all leave.” She ordered with a small smile.

The boys all stood up and left except for Don who walked up to his sister.

“Have you informed the CBP yet?” He asked, resting back on the table where some files were kept. His hands were folded across his chest as he gazed intensely at his sister.

“No!” Bella muttered plainly.

“And when will you do that?” He queried, raising a brow.

“Later.” She mumbled, stepping away from the table.

“Why not now?” He pressed on, and Bella heaved a loud sigh.

“Because I’ve got to go shopping with Lillian for the head of the organization’s birthday party, talking to the head of borders can wait.” She uttered, folding her hands against her chest, staring at him like they were in some kind of competition.

Don was rendered a little speechless as he stared bemusedly at his little sister.

“So, if you would excuse me, I’ve got some shopping to do with your wife. See you later.” She rounded up her statement and walked out of the room.

He scoffed, staring at her sway her ass out of the room until she was completely out of the room. He took his gaze away from the door and back to the electric board. Furthermore, he must commend she did a good job, mapping out their operation.

Heaving a light sigh, he stood properly and also walked out of the room. He locked the door behind him and turned to see Klaus walking towards him.

“I was looking for you, not until a guard told me that you were here,” Klaus stated, finally getting to where he stood.

“Yeah.” Don just mumbled lowly, dipping his hands into his pockets.

“So, how is the preparation for the operation going?”

“It’s going well,” Don replied lowly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“And the government procedures?” Klaus asked again, raising a brow this time.

“That’s going to be handled by Bella,” Don replied.

“Why were you looking for me?” He asked this, looking uncertain about the reason Klaus was looking for him.

“Yeah, about that,” Klaus muttered with a sigh.

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning.” He added.
