~~ LEON'S POV ~~
I couldn't seem to get my eyes off Bella for some reason and I also couldn't help the smile on my face.
well, it's still surprising that I got married to a mafia queen the same one I badly wanted to kill, the same person who almost took my life is the same person I call my wife and can't take my eyes off.
although I still can't explain my feelings towards her I know losing her ain't an option for me as I feel empty without having her around me
what the fuck is wrong with me?
" hmm " I turned to find Matt with a grin on his face, and that can't possibly be a good thing
" what? "
" chillax man... I just noticed you couldn't get your eyes off Bella "
"sister-in-law"
" what? "
" call her sister in law "
"... "
" it's either you call her sister-in-law or Mrs. Copeland," I said with a serious face
" chill man it's just her name ...okay as you please, but someone is being over-protective "
" so? she's my wife after all "
" Well I know she's your wife...but you're in love "
I wanted to laugh at what he just said but held myself.
love is one thing I promised myself never to get involved with after my relationship with Penny and here my best friend is, telling me am in love what stupidity
" it's okay if you don't believe me but am the only one who knows you better than yourself..and those look in your eyes I never saw when you were with Penny although you claimed to love her .. "
" so? Don't forget Bella is my wife, not my girl "
" ah I won't try explaining things to you as it's of no use .. you'll only realize how much you love her when you are on the verge of losing her "
PRESENT
Now I realize what Matt meant by realizing how much how I love are on the verge of losing her.
at first, when I saw Bella going against Fang I wanted to stop her but she asked me to help everyone, and the next moment I turned I found her lying on the broken pieces of glass from the table. I was about to leave when I was Mia at the corner lost In a trance, I wanted to help her but Bella also needed my help so I asked Matt to assist me with Mia while I made my way towards Bella but there were suddenly two sounds of gunshot and for some reason, I felt scared to my bones.
I looked up to find Bella holding her gun and I felt relief but the next sight I saw took me into a state of panic
blood was pumping out of her chest
" no, go bye Don Fang " was all she said with a victorious smile on her face
" Leon how is Bella " I look up to find dad looking at me and worry was visible on his face
" sh..she's still in the operating room," I said holding back my tears and trying to be a man
" It's the okay son she's fine she's a fighter" he comforted me tapping my shoulder and I just nodded
" I think we should keep this news away from GP as his health isn't... "
" you shouldn't be worried about me but about Bella's mother "
I looked up to find GP ..how on earth did this man get here so fast and how did he even get to know
" you think I won't find out with you telling me ..don't forget I am the man who makes a mafia queen so hiding this isn't possible," he said and came closer
" am sorry "
" it's okay and is sure Bella would be right "
" yes," I said trying to convince myself more than him
" Leon has the doctors said anything about Bella " Kiara came rushing in and I just shook my head vigorously. I was about to say something when the door to the theater room open revealing the doctor
" Doctor how is Bella ? " we all asked in unison
"..am sorry but we lost her "
the words of the doctors sounded foreign to my ears, it was like have never heard such words in my entire life
" excuse me? " I said
" We lost her am sorry..the bullet hit her straight in the heart and we couldn't save her," he said and I couldn't help but laugh, I couldn't stop my laughter and am sure the people around would think have lost it
" you're joking right?.. I know you're joking Bella probably told you not to tell us she's fine to see our reactions right? " I questioned but getting no response for the doctor aggravated me
" you better get in there and bring my wife back unless... I'll shut down this hospital and don't think am joking, it's either you bring my wife back or you go join her in the other world "
" Mr. Copeland.."
" SHUT UP !!!. My wife can't die she's a fighter a queen and even death fear's her it's either you bring my wife back or I'll send every one of you to hell " I threatened
" Leon... "
" where Bella ..get the fuck out of my way I want to see my wife " I pushed the doctor away barging into the operating room and for some reason everyone ran away leaving only I and Bella who was lying lifelessly on the bed with different pipes connect to her
" Bella " I called hoping she would respond to my call
" Bella I know you're playing games with me..but stop cause it's no longer funny, you can call me an asshole if you want but please get up, " I said caressing her face
" Okay listen I know you're stubborn and angry that I stopped you from smoking...let's do things you can smoke all you want I won't complain but please please just wake up please "
[ N/B: please listen to lonely by Justin Bieber when reading this ]
" BELLA !! " I screamed shaking her but she didn't respond and the tears I was trying to hold back suddenly started flowing. I wasn't going to accept the fact that my wife Bella is gone not now and not ever
" Bella you can't possibly leave me..you..you aren't being a good friend didn't you promise to start things afresh? didn't you say I'll always be an asshole..if you're gone who's gonna call me an asshole or get annoyed at me..you know am a clumsy Mafia who's gonna take care of our family...and you still haven't completed your revenge on your dad.. sorry I meant Mr. Carson who's gonna do all that please come back " I said with tears flowing down my face
" And you know what am very stupid I agree, I'm incompetent and lazy but with you by my side I'm the perfect man so won't you want to make me one? " I said hoping for a reply but I got none
like, come on why does life keep fucking with me?
" Leon please calm down Bella wouldn't be happy seeing you in this state and you know you saying all these won't bring her back.."
" you better shut that trash you call a mouth Matt unless I'll send you to hell," I said and stormed off
at first, I want to laugh at Matt when he told me am in love but now I badly want to laugh at myself
