Chapter 6 I messed up

Lucas

*Damn!!! i messed up, i had no idea she was coming over. *

I don't know why i suddenly feel a tinge of guilt.

I suddenly remembered her dace the day of our wedding and how hurt she looked, I suddenly decided to make things right, at least let peace reign till we all know what to do next.

*The bitch that ruined the whole thing* anger took over me as i entered my office.

"Hey Julian, leave this place and never come back," she just stared at me in shock, who wouldn't be, I was still the Mafia prince that instilled fear in anyone that comes across me.

"Wait!!!" I said after she packed her clothes to leave, i threw a wad of money at her, she left without turning back.

I called my Secretary immediately and warned her not to let any lady without an appointment in except Isabella.

"And the next time you speak to my wife in disrespect, you will have yourself to blame.." I added

Damn in just two days, she's taking a turn on me.

Bella

I called Lilly to narrate the whole incident to her.

"Hang on Ella, everything will be alright just don't freak out or do something stupid," she advised.

"I'll definitely take this one," I didn't want to call my sis cause I didn't want her to get worked up about the issue, I'll definitely work this out like the bad bitch I've always been.

Just then i heard his car pulling in.

*Stupid son of a bitch, I cursed*

"Bye Lilly, the idiot is around... Will talk to you later."

"Okay bye best," she replied and hung up.

Lucas

I got home and didn't meet her in my living room, she's definitely in her room but i have no plans to meet her now and end up looking like a drenched puppy.

I'll have to wait for a while before confronting her, I'm still the boss around here and the last thing i want is to go there looking all guilty...

Bella

*I sat there polishing my nails when the devil walked in... He took long enough i thought.*

"I really hate to say this ella but I'm sorry for what you saw in my office, in as much as i shouldn't be doing this, i promise it won't happen again."

*This dude with his audacity, I thought.*

"Hey Lucas, you can't just walk into my presence and give me that pathetic apology."

"I don't even need it."

"Also don't think I'm bothered by the bitch i saw in your office but your Secretary treating me like one of those girls is unacceptable."

"I'm sorry Ella," he said. The look of guilt in his eyes almost sent me hugging him, but no whom am i kidding, not with someone i hate so much.

"Ella let's come to a compromise, let's just pretend like the happy couple anyone expects till we sought ourselves out"... He broke the bombshell.

I was thrown aback by his demand but the shame it will help erase was too much to ignore, I had no choice but to agree.

Ok fine, for the sake of society and our names.

He finally left me to continue and I'll be damned to say I wasn't charmed by his appearance. Hot, tall and good looking.

Stop already, Bella!!

Bella

The next morning

I was surprised to find Lucas in the kitchen all dressed up like a chef, funny enough he had the hat on. He turned when I started laughing.

"Morning Bella, how was your night." He said smiling.

"My night was good. Why are you dressed like a chef, aren't you going to work today?" I asked reaching for the coffee mug.

"Nope decided to take a day off," he said

"Want coffee?" I asked surprised at how comfortable I felt around him.

"Won't ur boss be offended?" I asked.

Of course, I knew he was the boss, I just wanted to watch him talk with pride.

" I'm the boss and I roll the dice," he said flexing his muscles.

We both laughed. I honestly felt relief from pent up anger and stress.

"You still haven't told me why you're in here dressed as a chef". I asked rubbing my coffee mug.

" I just wanted to bake cookies with you for a while, u know the one I tasted the other day was nice".he said bringing out my baking equipment.

"Oh really, why would a mafia prince subject himself to such a lowly act," i asked smiling at him.

"I just want to use this as a mark to seal our friendship considering the fact that your marriage with me isn't something to be proud of. I want to make ur stay here a little bit comfortable from my angle"

*I was thrown aback by his words, the knowledge that he cared almost made me teary. It touched me to realise that aside from my parents, sister and best friend someone else cared. Well, my parents don't. *

"Thanks," i said without looking at him, wondering why I was suddenly shy.

Lucas

I watched her as she made the cookies,i honestly had no blame on her if she was arrogant, with such classy look and Beauty she had every right to be.

And I know my mum will be happy with the steps I'm taking towards Bella.

I know everyone wants to see us happy, even if we can't give them what they wanted but our happiness would bring so much joy to them.

I watched her smiling and I felt sudden anger when I remembered Tecca was still somewhere planning to ruin her, I felt more responsible for her.

I felt like protecting her.

Bella

I watched him as he was deep in thought,i wonder what was running in his mind.

Suddenly i became Jealous of those thoughts of him thinking of his mistress, how happy i would be to be running round his handsome mind and be with him throughout the day.

Isabella McKenzie when did you become this weak, I yelled at my inner self.

A penny for your thought Boss, I asked him. He laughed.

" I was wondering how you mixed this thing so Well " he replied.

*So he was thinking about the cookies, I felt like throwing them away.*

"Oh, I've been doing this for a long time," I answered.

They taste good, why don't we host a little party on Sunday and display your baking" he said smiling at me.

I was happy that he could think of that, we both agreed to get things done for the party.

Lucas

I heard Bella talking to her best friend on phone, I had to leave her.

I went to my room to talk to my Mum, I told her about the party we were trying to organize.

Mum gave her little idea and promised to inform my Dad and Bella's parents.

She was happy we both have decided to come to a compromise and assured me everything would turn out fine.

I made a mental note to go to the boutique where I get my clothes to arrange a good one for the party.

Bella

After talking to Lily and Aria, I brought out my cookies to eat, and also my diary to also write down seeing my stylist in my schedule.

I haven't been to a proper party in a while and it'll be such a pleasure to finally attend one after a long time.

I hope my parents make it too, it has been a while i saw them. Even if the anger towards my dad is intense, he used to be a great father at some point.

I already had everything planned out for Sunday.
