His Bride: Being the mafia’s princess

The silence in the room became so tense, but it all disappeared when Pablo’s aura changed everything. Walking into the room with his hands clasped together behind his back brought a feeling of relief to the nurse.

At least even if she would be uncomfortable with his presence, it would relieve her of the drama that was about to come, obviously from Eva.

“You’re finally awake.”

Eva turned to her father as she climbed down the bed. The look on her face was no longer hardened as earlier.

“Father.” She called out lowly.

“How is she?” Pablo shot the nurse a glance.

The nurse, who was now standing erect with head lowered to the ground, replied, “She is better. Though, I haven’t run the test on her.”

“What really happened to me?” Eva was forced to interrupt the nurse as her brows etched confused.

“Seeing how you are, I’m sure you are feeling better…..” Pablo blew out a small amount of air from his mouth and turned to the nurse, “Get the test done as soon as possible.”

“Alright boss.”

Eva grew even more confused while staring between her father and the nurse. Had she gone invisible? Why was no one responding to her?

“I demand to know what’s going on right now. Why did I lose consciousness? And what test are you talking about?” She half yelled when she could no longer take the feeling of being ignored.

She had different questions running through her mind presently, coupled with the strange feeling she was having all over her body. Therefore, she wouldn’t waste a second in getting all the answers she wanted.

Her body wasn’t this way at the dinning earlier, else she won’t have even bothered to join them. But presently, it felt like her whole body was compressed into a washing machine, then pulled out with force.

The pain she was feeling was undeniably undescribable.

“Well, let’s say I relieved you of something that would cause trouble to us later.” Pablo hesitated for a moment, looking like he didn’t want to talk about it to her.

“What is?”

Pablo didn’t reply to her immediately as he walked to the nearest couch and sat down comfortably.

“You were pregnant…” He paused to study her facial expression and smirked when he got what he wanted – a shocked look.

He continued regardless, “But as a good father, I got rid of it for you. Now, you’re a free lady with no obstruction to your life, and you can carry out your duty well.” He shook his head and sighed.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Eva suddenly felt her heart stopped beating for a moment as she blinked rapidly. She hoped badly it wasn’t what she was thinking or what her subconscious mind suggested.

“What are you referring to?” She tried not to stutter too much because that would only prove her subconscious mind was right, and she didn’t want that.

Pablo scoffed out loud, feeling pissed that he didn’t raise her to be dumb, but didn’t understand why she still didn’t want to accept the obvious fact.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t giving up until she finally decided to accept it, “I got rid of your pregnancy.” He blurted out with no feeling of remorse.

Even the nurse had to shut her eyes to sigh in relief, finally he did what she had expected him to do in the first place.

Until now, Eva had never been this angry in her entire life, not even when Lillian supposedly irritated her.

She didn’t realize it when she yelled, “What the hell have you done?”

Her breathing came out louder than usual and her heart pounded hard against her chest abnormally. She gasped for breath until she fell back on the bed. Then she turned to him with a teary eye.

“What do you think you have done? You have just ruined my life…..” She was no more in her state of mind to stop herself from talking back at her father.

It was Pablo’s turn to react in a way that brought Eva back to her senses. He scoffed with the side of his lips raised in an angry smile as he sat up.

With the look on his face right now, Eva knew she was in for it. For the first time in her life, she yelled at him, blaming him and almost even cussed at him. Something she had never dreamt of doing.

“You think I ruined your life, where in fact I made you whom you are today. I picked you up from the streets and brought you up to be among men, else you would have been in the streets, eating from the gutter where you belonged.”

Pablo sprang up to his feet in a go and marched forward, scaring Eva on her seat.

“Listen to me clearly, I didn’t waste all that resources to make you what you are today, then let you live as you please. You’ll only do as I say.” With this, he stomped out of the room, leaving both Eva and the nurse in fear.

Eva lowered her head to the bed as she grabbed the sheets in a tight fist. She was more than furious, but she was trying not to show it.

All these while, Mark had been standing near the door. He only hid when he felt Pablo stepping out of the room.

“Drop those files on the table and leave.” Don ordered, immediately he stepped into his room.

He was unbuttoning his shirt, he tossed it to the chair when he finished.

Draco bowed and did as he was instructed but stopped midway, turning back to face his boss when he heard his voice again.

“Hold on, is Rex back from the hospital?”

“Yes. He just got back and is currently in the dining room, where the Lady invited everyone for lunch on his behalf.” Draco gave out all the information he had about Rex.

So, that was what Bella was trying to tell him when he got back. But he left her there to come up to his room.

Don heaved a low sigh as he recalled the look on Lillian’s face immediately she saw him. He couldn’t help but to wonder if it was still concerning what happened between them recently.

Another sigh left his lips as he walked to the bed to relax. It’s been a long day for him.

“Don’t forget to get everything ready for the trip. You can leave.” He reminded, making Draco look up at him.

What had suddenly gotten into his boss? It was so unusual for him to remind anyone of anything.

Draco’s curiosity almost made him forget his boss’s last statement. Not until his eyes met with that of Don’s, and he comported himself instantly.

He gave a deep bow and left the room immediately.
