~~ BELLA'S POV ~~
After dinner, I and Leon said our goodbyes to the family and left for home.
Being sincere, I really enjoyed my stay with Leon's family, and it is the first time I have felt the love of a family without being with GP or mum.
I turned to look at Leon, who was focused on the road, and it was visible he was worried about something.
He kept staring at the rearview mirror as if expecting something.
"Leon, what's wrong?"
"Hmm, it's nothing," he said with a smile.
But I am no fool; I could tell something was wrong. I picked up my phone, placing a call to Kiara.
"Hey there, were you asleep?"
"No, actually, I just finished speaking to my parents," she replied.
"Okay, I'll message you," I ended the call.
'Can you get my signal?' I messaged.
Thanks to the in-body GPS injected into me, mum, GP, and Kiara, it would be easy to trace any of us in a case of kidnap.
'Yep,' she replied.
'Can you hack into the security cameras at my location? I feel something is wrong.'
'Hold on, give me a minute' ...
I suddenly received a link from her.
I tapped on it and I could access the security cameras just to find a car following us.
"Leon, what's happening? I don't know why you're telling me everything is alright. I know we're being followed," I questioned, and I could see him sigh.
"Okay, it's Bolin's younger brother."
"You mean that nameless rascal?"
No one knows his name or what he looks like, for a reason unknown to me. All we know is he is Bolin's brother.
How did we get here?
" We would be meeting the family tonight," Leon said and I suddenly felt nervous
I didn't know what to do, I had no idea how I'll approach them after what I did on our wedding day
"Relax baby you're surely going to love my family " he hugged me from behind resting his chin on my shoulder
" But what if.... ".
" Shh nothing is going to happen and you've met my Dad and Mia... since they love you then everyone else will " He comforted and I nodded
But I still didn't know what to wear.
I turned to face him making the cutest face I could
" Can you please pick out my outfit " I requested and he just smiled
" Okay"
He pecked me and headed for the bathroom while I left for the dining room.
I was greeted by the servants and looking at the dining table my mouth began watering seeing all my favorite food from pastries down to Italian dishes
[ Someone seems to be having a good time ] I heard butterfly say and just rolled my eyes
"I didn't get this opportunity in my past life so can I please have a week without you making fun of me"
[ Whatever.. ]
" Hope you like it " I heard Leon's voice from behind
" Did you just say like? Because I don't like it, I love it, " I said with a smile and I could see him sigh in relieve
I quickly started dishing myself and dug into it eating to my heart's content without being taunted
I turned to find Leon staring at me
" What?" I asked with my mouth filled with food
" Nothing, I just like watching you" He said with a half smile and I could feel my body tense up from deja vu..
Even in my past life, he would always say the same thing and hearing him say it now reminded me of the past
I quickly placed a smile on my face and looked up to him
" Watching me? Am I a joker performing a joke or some kind of magician " I tucked my hair behind my ear adverting my gaze and he started laughing
" Sorry but you got food on your face," he said between laughter and I rolled my eyes going back to my food
*. *. *
We arrived at Copeland mansion and I was welcomed with a hug from Mrs copeland
" How are you doing?" she peaked both my cheeks.
" I am fine "
" Mum this isn't fair you are choosing your daughter-in-law over me " Leon whined
" Hope you ain't giving her a hard time " she pulled him by his ear making him scream and I chuckled
" Aren't you going to let them in? " Mr copeland said and she led the way in
" Good evening sir " I greeted but he pulled me into a hug
" You should start calling me Dad Bella dear ...and Leon we have something we need to talk about "
" BELLA !!! " Mia screamed running towards me and hugging me
" Even Mia has chosen my wife over me "
" Oh shut it, Leon..Bella is the best and you're just an asshole " she poked her tongue out at him
" You all should make your way to the dining room I and Leon will join you all later " Mr. Copeland said and left with Leon
Mia pulled me to the dining table and for some reason, I had tears in the corner of my eyes when Mr. Copeland asked me to address him as Dad
[ Are you sure you would be able to handle all these emotion's?]
" Yeah "
" Bella dear how have you been?
We never got the opportunity to meet at the wedding nor before the wedding...
I just hope Leon isn't giving you a hard time " She said and served my plate.
" No, he isn't .... "
" And even if he dares she's gonna kick his ass," Mia said grinning from ear to ear
And that is it,I thought today was going to be free for me and I finally had the opportunity to enjoy my self but guess fate had other plans "Let me drive," I said, connecting my phone to my Bluetooth device.
If I suddenly come out of the car, they would become aware that we know about them following us, so we switched positions without coming out.
"Bella dear, how are you?" GP asked immediately he picked up the call.
"I am good, but I need you to do something. You and mum shouldn't leave the house without a bodyguard or a tracking device, and I'm not sure if the in-body GPS is still active," I said.
'We really need to go check that thing because I can't risk anything.'
"Okay... is it Bolin's younger brother?"
Seems this old man is aware of everything. He won't just go on vacation or take a break, always nosy.
"Yes, we'll talk later. Bye," I ended the call.
"Leon, does everyone in the family have a tracking device?"
I asked and took another route.
"No, I never thought of that."
"What the fuck? Dial Kiara's number," I pointed to my phone.
'How couldb he be my husband of all men in the world... he's just so stupid and careless,' I thought to myself and sighed.
[Need any help?] Butterfly asked.
"Well, no thanks. I'll handle it," I murmured.
[Alright, I'll be here if you need me, and even if you don't]
I heard her say, and inside my head went quiet.
In a Mafia world, no one can be trusted, so one needs to go to any means to keep those closest to them safe.
The call started connecting, and on the second ring, she answered.
"Kiara, do we still have some tracking devices?"
"Give me a minute; I'll check."
"Okay, where are the bodyguards I asked for?"
"They are right behind the men following you." Hearing this brought up a mischievous idea.
"Bella, we have only three tracking devices," she informed.
"That will do. I am a few miles from your house; come meet me at the park. Also, ask the bodyguards to be on low," I instructed and ended the call.
Leon brought out two pistols from the cubbyhole and placed one beside me, but I didn't need it as I am always prepared.
"I have one in my purse; don't worry, and they won't attack," I said lazily.
"Why do you say so?"
"It's not the first time I have killed a mafia, and Bolin's brother wants to get revenge on me. I'll explain everything when the right time comes," I sighed.
Rule number two in the mafia world: one needs to be calculative and smart.
I wonder how an asshole like him became a mafia, speak more of a ruler.
~~ LEON'S POV ~~
If I ever had doubts about how Bella became a mafia queen, they all just dropped after seeing the way she acted fast.
My original plan wasn't as good as hers.
We got to the park, and she stepped out for some minutes after which she came back, giving me a half smile, and turned the car around.
Her driving skills weren't bad, and we were both back at the mansion.
"MUM, DAD, MIA!!!" She screamed as we arrived.
I couldn't help but admire her efforts in accepting my family.
"Bella dear, what's wrong?" Mum asked, running down the stairs.
"Mum... none of you are safe as of now. Bolin's younger brother is up to something, and I don't know what. Until then, I want you all to have this."
She handed Mum and Mia hairpins and Dad a necklace.
"Each of these has tracking devices in them, so please don't go anywhere without them, and I'll be leaving the bodyguards for Mia. I know Dad can protect Mum," she said with a smile.
"Thanks, Bella dear, and we'll make sure to do as you say, okay?" Mum hugged her, and she nodded.
"Thanks, Bella," Mai said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll be on our way back home; it's already late."
"Drive safe, and please take good care of yourself," Mum pecked her.
I really felt neglected over here, but I didn't mind. I felt more than happy seeing my wife and family bond.
'Like seriously, did I just say my wife?'
Seems I am getting used to being a loyal husband.
I just hope all I'm seeing is acting the truth and nothing more... as I find it a bit difficult that the same Bella who hated me so much is the same one caring for my family.
Unbelievable.
A/N: hello dearies I'm deeply sorry I haven't been updating but that ends now I'll give a bonus chapter to cover up my lapses of last week.
