All Chapters of The Mafia Lord’s Bride : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The car was filled with smoke and there was an hissing sound from the air bag covering both our faces. We pushed it away and got out of the car before the unforseen could happen as we couldn't tell if the gas was leaking somewhere . Zayn didn't speak for a moment ,I guess he was still shocked as much as I was from the whole near death experience. I could see a small cut in his forehead as I tasted blood myself , I must have gotten a cut on the lips thought to myself. "Are you fine ?" Zayn asked finally. I couldn't break my voice to reply him so I just nodded that I was as I stared at the sorry state of the now condemned vehicle. " I can't believe I almost went to hell" he continued smiling. I guess he saw the dismayed look on my face that I wasn't buying any of the jokes he was trying to sell cause the smile disappeared faster than it came when I shot him a glance in disapproval. "Or was he scared of me ?" I thought to myself smiling. Zayn stared at the c

Over the next few days I felt very much angry at myself, angry about the fact I had acted like a whore in the car to his every touch and though most times I pretended to hate everything that happened the night of the accident I didn't regret it at all. I knew Zayn was so much aware of how I felt , I knew men of his type thought of woman as an object and I wasn't going to give him the benefit of that doubt. I wouldn't let him use me as he might had used others only to dump them later. Zayn was almost everywhere in the house this days making avoiding him so much difficult , I knew I staying in my room wouldn't stop the son of a bitch as he had proved severally he had no respect for privacy . He walked around my house as if he owned it and trespassing my door step wouldn't be any issue for him at all not with my father smiling stupidly at whatever he said like Zayn's little puppy. I hated Zayn so much and that was a lie I told myself not with the way he

One of the maids almost bumped into me as I made way into my mother's room behind me was another carrying a not so heavy carton of papers in her hands. "Mother" I said as I walked in . Mother looked up from where she was at her table knitting , she did that once in awhile whenever she was bored , worried or something else. " The wedding card just came in " I waved one in midair. "Bring that let me have a good look at " she waves me over while reaching for her glasses at a corner on the table. " Wow ! They look so pretty " she commented. " Your husband to be sure has good taste for colours" "Yeah he does" i mumbled . "Am I missing out from something? " Mother asked casting me a questionable gaze. "What do you mean ma'am" I looked at her pretending I was confused . "Your reply! " She added. "The way you look " "You don't seem happy doing this right?" Mother asked again casting me that questionable gaze I had known over the yea

Sunlight creeped through the curtain of the bridal suite, I sat in front of the mirror as the stylist worked on my hair , my face was red and flushed as I stared at myself in the mirror not believing how beautiful I looked . My cousin walked in with two glasses filled with Champagne. "Wow , Jean you ...you look so beautiful " she commented. "Yeah , I know " I replied her as I checked myself again in the mirror, that bit of happiness burying the shadow of darkness I was feeling at that moment. " Are you fine Jean? " she queried as she got closer. "Yeah ,why asking ?" i replied trying to hide the discomfort I was feeling. "I know you too well Jean you are not happy about all this " "Are you sure you want to go through with this? " Kathy added as she moved closer to whisper into my ears. "Or do you want to elope?" "Good gracious!" I exclaimed. "Why would you say something of sort?" I poked Kathy . "

I walked toward my favourite part of the house after that , Zayn phone had rung and he was away trying to pick the call while I waited for him in the garden the same garden I had embarrassed him a few months back, the memories of that day was still fresh in my memories like the leaves and from way the birds hovered around me I was quite sure they had missed me. "Don't worry I would ask mother to find someone to feed you when I am away " i whispered to them . Mamma were right when she said I looked like nonna when it comes to loving the birds . I had watched nonna feed the birds just once and that was enough for me to fall in love with them. Zayn tapped me from behind his hands felt warm where he had touched . "Are you ready to leave ?" I suddenly realized I had taken quite a while out there in the garden after I glanced at my watch it was so long it was hard to remember why I had actually strolled out there . I swallowed. “sure let me say bye to mother ” .His
