Her arrival!
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hello everyone, I'm home!" Lillian screamed happily and her parents came climbing down the staircase immediately.
"And my darling daughter is here." Mrs Helen said in a wide smile as she immediately embraced her daughter.
"I miss you so much mom." Lillian said embracing her tighter than before.
"Don't I also deserve a hug?" Mr Jeffrey who was standing behind them asked making Lillian and her mother chuckle.
She left her mom and engulfed her dad in tight hug.
"I missed you my old man." She said in a wide smile and he chuckled. So, she still remembers that name.
Don't be confused, Lillian and her dad had this beautiful father and daughter relationship and 'my old man' was the nickname she gave him when she was still staying with them.
Mr Jeffrey didn't really expect her to call him that after so many years.
"And I missed you more my little princess." He replied and she released herself from the hug with a pout.
"I'm no longer little, I'm now a big lady." She said and twirled round making her parents laugh.
"Nevertheless, you're still my little princess." Her dad said making Lillian frown a little.
"I don't want that name any longer, I need a new one." She said with another cute pout.
"Alright, I'll give you another one. Happy now?" Her dad asked and she smiled.
"It's enough now. Sweetheart, come on, let me show you to your room, so you'd freshen up and come downstairs, I already prepared your favorite." Her mom said in a smile, interrupting the father and daughter's moment then climbed the stairs.
"Okay mom." Lillian replied and followed behind.
The maids that were standing there all these while, watching their little drama carried the luggage and also followed, leaving Mr Jeffrey who went to sit on the couch.
MINUTES LATER*
ON THE DINING TABLE*
"So, how was Spain?" Mrs Helen said breaking the silence.
"De eso estuvo bien." Lillian replied in Spanish making her parents laugh.
"And what does that mean?" Her mom said in between laughter.
"It means it was fine." Lillian replied with a smile.
"I'm glad it was." Her dad said in a chuckle.
"But it was boring." Lillian said and rolled her eyes.
"Why was it boring? Didn't you make any friends there?" Her dad asked in a puzzled look.
"I did but like they say, no place like home." She replied in a shrug.
"What?" She asked in a cute smile after seeing the looks on her parents face.
"We're just amazed that you missed us this much." Her mom voiced out.
"Yeah." She said quietly.
"But not to worry, now that I'm back, I'm going to make up for all the boring moments and you both would help me achieve that." She said again and her parents chuckled.
"Anything for a princess." Her mother said and she gave a lip tight smile.
"Do you need more food? You know, after your long flight." Her dad said as he took a sip of his juice.
"No. I don't want to get fat." She disagreed in a small nod.
"Why?" Her dad said in a questioning look.
"It will make me look ugly and I don't want that." She replied and he chuckled lightly.
"You sure cherish your beauty so much." Her dad mumbled audibly as he shook his head.
"Of course I do. I'd want to remain beautiful everyday and everytime just like mom." Lillian stated as she dropped her cutlery and touched her face, making Mrs Helen smile.
"But being fat doesn't make one ugly." Her mom tried to justify.
"To me, it does and I don't ever wish to be." Lillian said stressing on her last statement.
Mrs Helen smiled and shook her head.
"Where is Fred by the way? I didn't see him since I arrived or has he decided to play some dirty games on me?" Lillian said again and gulped down some quantity of water.
"Dirty games?" Her mom asked in a chuckle.
"Yeah, who knows if he hasn't quit those things." Lillian confirmed as she rolled her eyes and her parents burst into laughter. She lifted her juice and took a sip.
"Actually, he went to take care of some things in the company. He would be back soon." Her mother replied when the laughter died down.
"Oh! I thought otherwise." Lillian muttered.
*********************
"Gosh, I'm so stressed out." Lillian said as she fell on her queen sized bed.
"Can't believe I'm finally back to my family and hometown." She muttered to herself and sighed. The door opened and her mother came in. Lillian sat up and her mother went to sit beside her.
"Do you like the room? Or should I change it?" Mrs Helen asked.
"Of course I do, it looks beautiful." Lillian complimented as she stared round the room.
"Glad you love it, I was scared you wouldn't, considering how long we've been apart." Her mother heaved a sigh of relief as her expression changed.
Lillian could detect the sadness in her mother's tone and she took her hands into hers.
"Mom, you shouldn't feel bad. I already told you that I love it and that should be enough reason for you to be happy." Lillian said and her mom sighed again.
"Now put that that lovely smile on." Lillian said again but her mom still held a sad look.
"Smile for your lovely daughter, please?" Lillian pleaded in a pout that made Mrs Helen burst into laughter.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." Lillian smiled in fulfillment of making her mom laugh.
"We didn't have enough time to talk more on your journey but knowing you must be tired now, I would leave it for tomorrow." Her mother suggested.
"You guessed right mom. I just feel like laying down now and going to sleep immediately." Lillian said demonstrating with her hands.
"That's alright. You should get some sleep now. You had a long day." Mrs Helen said and made her lie on the bed. She placed her head properly on the pillow and tucked her well in the blanket.
"Sleep tight." She kissed her on the forehead.
"I will." Lillian replied in a smile and Mrs Helen left the room. She was about turning off the nightstand when the door opened again revealing her brother, Fred.
She immediately got out of the bed and jumped on him. He twirled her around till they both got dizzy and fell on the bed with laughter on their lips. Fred finally sat up and Lillian did same.
"How was your flight?" Fred asked after the laughter died down.
"It was awesome, especially when I knew I was finally coming back home after a long time." Lillian replied in a smile.
"Wow, I must confess you've grown really big and.......beautiful too." Fred said in smiles as he stared at Lillian. He still couldn't believe this was the same Lillian he knew years back. What was he even expecting?
"You can say that again and you don't look bad yourself. I wouldn't have recognized you if I haven't seen your picture before I came back." Lillian giggled and hit him lightly on the head.
"And you haven't changed that habit of yours." Fred replied in a grin.
"What habit are you referring to?" Lillian asked in a lopsided smile.
"The habit of hitting my head even though I'm older than you." Fred replied.
"Well, maybe because I'm sure you can't do anything to me." Lillian mocked jokingly.
"Really? Then I'd show you that I can do something." Fred replied pouncing lightly on her. He pinned her to the bed and started tickling her.
"I can do something." Fred said again as he continued tickling Lillian who was laughing really hard.
"Please stop,,,, stop." Lillian managed to say as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Stop it Fred, I promise not to do it again." She pleaded again and this time Fred left her. She hurriedly stood up from the bed, breathing heavily like she ran a marathon race.
"You son of the devil, you almost killed me." Lillian said after she finished catching her breathe and he hummed.
"You know what? Get out of my room. I'm tired and I want to have my beauty sleep." She said and glared at him.
"Alright then." Fred said standing up.
"Goodnight." He said again and blew her a kiss then left the room.
Lillian sat back on her bed with a great thud. She laid properly on her bed and went into her fairytale world.
AT 3:00am
Lillian got out of her bed and walked out of her room. She suddenly felt thirsty and needed to quench it. She yawned as she walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took a bottle water and a glass cup. She poured water into the glass cup and drank it.
When she was done, she kept them back and left the kitchen. She climbed up the stairs, going back to her room but stopped when she heard voices in her parents' room. She decided to move further but stopped abruptly when she heard,
"She would have to get married to him."
Huh??? Who were they talking about?

Lillian got up from her bed and stretched. She yawned and went into the restroom. She came out minutes later and saw her mother sitting on her bed."Good morning Mom.""Morning sweetheart. How was your night?" Her mom replied as she became aware of her daughter's presence."It was beautiful, thank you." "Has it been long you came?" Lillian said again."I just came in seconds before you came out." Her mom replied and she mouthed an 'oh'."Come and sit, I want us to talk." Her mom said again tapping on the bed beside her."About?" Lillian queried with a raised brow."Have a seat first." Her mom replied and Lillian did as she was told. "So, what is this about?" Lillian asked now staring directly at her mother and Mrs Helen took her hands into hers."Lillian......" She stressed out making Lillian more interested."You do know we all in the family loves you, right?" She said again and Lillian nodded slowly."And we would........." The door opened interrupting her.

Lillian entered the room and landed straight on her bed, dumping her purse beside her. What was her father saying? What did he mean by she was getting married? And to a person she doesn't even know? What was happening?All these questions ran through Lillian's mind and she couldn't help to badly wish her dad was joking. The door opened again and her mom came in. She paused for a moment before finally going to join Lillian on the bed."Tell me everything dad said was a joke." Lillian said immediately with pleading eyes making Mrs Helen sigh."Please, just tell me he was joking,,,,,, that he was trying to pull my legs." Lillian pleaded further, now kneeling on the bed and holding her mom's hands."I wished but........" Her mom tried saying but stopped when she saw the tears gathered in her daughter's eyes."You're truly getting married." Mrs Helen finally said what broke Lillian's heart. Lillian immediately let go of her mom's hands and got down from the bed."Even you too?" Lillian ask

Fred knocked on the door and his mom's voice was heard,"Come in.""Good morning mom, Good morning dad." He greeted when he entered the room."I came back immediately I saw your call. Is there any problem?" He said again and his father who was sitting on the bed pointed to the couch. Fred did as he was told. Mr Jeffrey also stood up and went to sit opposite him."We informed her already.""About what?" Fred said confused. "Her marriage with Don.""What the heck?!" Fred uttered as he stood up immediately."Dad, what are you talking about?" He said again."She is getting married to Don and your mother and I have concluded on this decision but we just need you to help us talk to her. We tried talking to her but........

His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 5 - Her mother is sick!
Lillian groaned as she sat up. She groaned again and rubbed her head. She looked around where she was and found herself on a bed. She looked around again and saw it was her room. She bowed her head as if trying to recall what happened but still rubbing her head slightly. Then she remembered. She was in Mark's living room trying to call her brother but then someone covered her nose with a handkerchief and she lost consciousness.But how did she get back to her room? Needing an answer to this question, she managed to stand up from the bed and tried opening the door but it was locked.Huh? She tried again but it was still locked. What was happening? First, an anonymous brought her back here without her consent and now, the door of her room was locked. "Hello?" "Mom? Dad? Anyone there!" She said forcefully turning the knob of the door, that was when it dawned on her that she's been held hostage in her own room."Someone get me out of here!!" She yelled again hitting the door continu

Lillian walked slowly to where her father sat at the bar as she bowed her head. She was still thinking if this was the right thing for her to do. She just never wanted this but then, her mother?"Do you need anything?" Mr Jeffrey asked turning slightly to her after he noticed her presence. She took in a sharp breath and swallowed hard."When is the wedding taking place?" She asked back almost inaudibly as she gulped down again."Huh?" Mr Jeffrey said pretending not to know what she meant. Lillian closed her eyes and swallowed hard again then she opened her eyes as she folded her hands tight by her side."Is the wedding still taking place tomorrow?" She asked again, trying not to have a reconsideration."Yes." Mr Jeffrey replied in a nod as he adjusted on his seat that he could stare directly into her face."Alright." She said simply.
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 7 - The D-Day
Lillian stared at herself with the wedding gown in the mirror as she sighed. She had asked all the makeup artist and maid to leave her alone while she ponder in her own thoughts. She just couldn't believe she would one-day wear a wedding gown with sadness in her heart. All her life, she had always dreamt of wearing this wedding gown with a big smile on her face, her mother beside her and the right man who would love and cherish her. But now, it seems all that was getting shattered.She bowed her head and wiped the tears that had gathered in her eyes and were trying to fall. She tried not to ruin her makeup, at least even if she didn't want this, her mother wanted this and she needed to fulfil a promise.Someone knocked on the door, interrupting her thoughts."Who's there?" She asked glancing at the door through the mirror."It's one of the maids ma'am and I'm here to inform you have a male visitor." The maid said and her mind drifted to Mark. She hasn't heard from him ever since sh

The limousine drove into the compound and parked well at the entrance of the huge 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 leg 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.......
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 9 - His girlfriend?
Lillian found her way down the stairs and met the same lady from last night on the staircase."Hey! Was just about coming to your room to call you for breakfast but now that you're here, come on." Bella stated turning back to the dinning room after sighting Lillian.Lillian followed behind her and sat at the dinning chair she pointed to. She waited patiently as the maids served her food and started eating almost immediately she was given the food. She was so famished at that moment.Bella noticed this and chuckled lightly."I'm sorry." Bella looked up at her with a puzzled look."For my action last night. I was kind of cold and harsh towards you and I sincerely apologise for that. That isn't truly who I was. I was just .........." Lillian sighed and stared at her face to see her reaction but Bella just kept a straight face."I'm sorry and I hope we could start all over again." She completed in another sigh, this time in relief."Weren't you the same person acting arrogant last night?"

The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 105 - Months Later.....
“Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone's attention.All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella's having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.Bella's gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.“These are no fun to take! It's really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid who committed suicide and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule. Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier. Things even got wo
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 104 - Promise for a change.
Bella got a hint of the situation immediately her mood changed, and no words came from her. She heaved a sigh but didn't say a word either.Just then, the door opened, revealing Don. He walked a few steps into the room and paused to stare at Lillian.The family shot him a glance, then back at Lillian. They also got a hint of the situation and guessed they obviously needed some privacy together.“Now that your husband is here, we'll leave you two to talk.” Mrs. Blake said and glanced at the others, and they all nodded.They left the ward as agreed, but that didn't change the aura in the ward. Don and Lillian still maintained their silence as different thoughts ran through their heads.But there was something strange about Don's demeanor. His expression wasn't unreadable as it used to be. This time, she could bet she was able to read some emotions out from his facial expression.One of them was anger, but who was he angry at? Lillian shivered at the thought of him getting angry at the f

A devilish smile didn't fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don's mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.It wasn't an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian's life forever."What is happening now?" Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.This wasn't what he had planned.
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 102 - Who wins?
Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them

Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k
His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 100 - Pablo's real intention.
“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 th

“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don't think I can stand her even though we're just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.” “She has a name.”“Do I look like I f**king care? Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”“So?”“So, I want you to do something, and it's slightly simple, though dangerous.”“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”“You got it, babe.”“Just do what I want, and you'll have all you ask for.” The recording paused and that was Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble.

His Bride: Being the Mafia's princess Chapter 98 - What truly happened.
“We searched the CCTV footage for the supposed area and, as expected, it's been altered. It only showed the part where the Lady and maid stepped out to check the unconscious guards in another car, the rest of what took place wasn't found.” “It was also known that the security guards there were all unconscious at the said time, which means….”“Which means that this person really knows what he is doing. But who could he be? Or could it be......” Bella cut Draco short as her mind drifted to Mark, but strangely, she doubted if he had such authority or resources.“I doubt if he was. Even if he was behind it, I believe he had back up, someone with a similar goal compared to his.” Don also thought of Mark, but being in this game for long, he understood that not just anyone had the power to pull such strings.Nobody said anything for a while, and this gave Draco the opportunity to speak again.“We've sent messages across to all of our connections in the country, but there hasn't been news ye
