ELLA CARSON

~~BELLA'S POV~~

we arrived at one of Leon's hotels and staff members couldn't get their eyes off us

while jealously could be vividly seen on the faces of some women we passed

" Congratulations on the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Copeland," Mr. Ivanov said with a smile which I returned taking my seat majestically beside Leon

" thank you," Leon said

" well I never one day imagine either of you married you both make a perfect couple " he complimented

Apart from kicking people's asses and killing people and also being ruthless am also a business person.

Mr. Ivanov is one of the shareholders of one of my companies

" Thanks, Mr. Ivanov but I never knew you already knew my wife "

" well I don't know her that well, I and her grandfather were business friends and patterns before she took over from him " he informed

" Okay "

the waiter comes over laying out different dishes

" sorry I didn't ask you before ordering " Mr.Ivanov apologized

" well it's okay " I waved off

" then let's have dinner before we get down to business "

well I wasn't really hungry because Leon forced me to eat dinner before we came here

so I served myself a little pelmeni and I couldn't finish it before having a glass of champagne

Mr. Ivanov's phone began ringing and he picked it up after speaking to the caller he turned to face us with a smile

" well my secretary just arrived she would be here in the next ten minutes " I turned to look at Leon to find him busy on his phone with his plate untouched

" hubby " I called and he turned to face me with a smile

" yes baby what's wrong "

" why haven't you touched your meal open up "

I feed him without waiting for his response

apart from mafia duties I still got wife duties to perform

" you both look cute," an old lady said with a smile and walked past us, Leon kept grinning from ear to ear and I couldn't help but roll my eyes

" good evening sir " I heard a familiar voice. I turned to find Ella, Ella Carson my stepsister

the ideal daughter of my father Mr . Tester Carson

the number one illegitimate child of the Carson family with a bitch of a mother who took everything from me and my mum

although she was born before me, both my parents were already married then

I clenched my fist feeling my blood boil

I just felt like stabbing her with the fork I was holding

" baby what's wrong," Leon asked placing his hand on mine seems he sense my change of aura

but I didn't feel like speaking I just wanted to beat the hell out of this bitch standing right in front of me

" excuse me, Mr. Ivanov," Leon said and led the way to the elevator

" wifey what's wrong," he asked immediately as we got into the elevator "

" it . . . it's Ella " I managed to say

" who's Ella," he asked and I took a deep breath

" the lady standing outside is Ella Ella Carson my step sister the main reason my dad calls me an illegitimate child and treats me and my mum as trash "

I said feeling my hand shiver as tears threaten to fall from my eyes

I was about to say something but Leon slammed his lips on mine.

I slowly began to relax breathing in his scent

" don't let people that aren't worth ruining your mood ruin your mood baby girl " he pecked me

" and she's just a secretary and you're a queen, and dont forget you have me by your side the world's most eligible bachelor ... ahem I forgot that am already married " he scratched the back of his neck which made him look cute

I felt like eating him up but we were in an elevator

" aww my husband is cute "

"so am I no longer an asshole,?"

" says who you're still an asshole," I said poking out my tongue

~~ LEON'S POV ~~

Thank goodness I was able to make Bella smile

I didn't want to ruin her mood before revealing my surprise, so I took her to the bar so she could cheer up

" where's Mrs. Copeland," Mr. Ivanov asked

" she's having a drink at the bar," I said going through the contract and I was pleased with what I was reading so I signed it

" Congratulations Mr. Copeland," Mr. Ivanov said as we shook hands.

" Thanks "

" Congratulations Mr. Copeland, " Bella's step-sister said but I just ignored her as if there was no one there I wasn't going to spare anyone who caused my wife pain especially not her

I made my way toward the bar but was stopped by a waiter

" excuse me Mr. Copeland Mrs. Copeland asked me to serve this to you " he handed me a glass of whiskey

why did Bella send me a drink

the glass had a sticky note on it

' Don't come back with an empty glass ' it read which felt strange but I didn't want to upset Bella so I quickly drank it up

no man would want to incur the wrath of his wife especially when the person we're talking about is Bella

I got to the bar and Bella was nowhere to be found

I began feeling dizzy and the last thing I could remember was someone helping me
