1 WEDDING DAY

~~LEON'S POV~~

" You shouldn't have sent the bodyguards away " matt kept complaining

" why are you scared? "

" am not scared it's just that you're a mafia king and have so many enemies what if one tries .... "

" just shut the hell up okay; am well aware of my status and that's why we're under disguise and... "I couldn't complete my statement when a lady barged into the car

" drive if you still love your life " she instructed pointing a gun at me and Matt

" what the hell ? " I screamed

" shut the trash up and drive, you better don't look back " I wasn't in for any drama so I ignited the engine and drove off

I wanted to see what she wanted to do

" Kiara can you hear me ? " she said speaking to someone

" Leon " matt signaled

" what and why are you whispering ? "I raised an eyebrow

" she is Bella the same girl " he whispered and I turned to make sure my friend wasn't high

" how do you know ? "

" Remember the girl we kidnapped, that Kiara she's her right-hand person " he informed

" how sure are you " I questioned and he pointed to the rearview mirror

" who owns these shirts ? " she questioned and Matt answered her. I could see her take off her sweater revealing her boobs.

' shit get your eyes off her '

I cursed myself and shifted my attention back to the road

" hey Mr driver" she called

" what is it ?" I replied annoyed

"I want you to step out of the car with me immediately I step out okay "

" what ? now you're giving me orders, first you got into my car without asking and ...."

" Just shut that trash up ok " she screamed at me and I couldn't believe I was going to marry this lady

" okay i know am at fault and it's against courtesy to behave the way I did but this would be my last order as am about to step out so just do it so I can get the fuck out of here " I could tell she was trying to be calm and I wondered if it was the last or the beginning of her orders

I stepped out of the car and she was wearing my white t-shirt with her hair over her shoulder

she looked hot

she suddenly pulled me and slammed her lips on mine stopping my taught

I wanted to pull back but she held her stand

she suddenly bit me and pulled away

" thanks, baby" she took my dark shade, wore it and crossed to the other side of the road, and zoomed off on the motorcycle packed there

" bro your bride is dangerous" Matt screamed as I got into the car

" shut the fuck up " I replied but he suddenly started laughing

I turned to look at him and he knew what I meant and shut the hell up

I drove off and kept wondering how the fuck this girl is so brave

*. *. *

~~BELLA'S POV ~~

I was already done dressing up, the hairstylist and make-up artist left the room as mom stepped in, and l could see tears of joy roll down her cheeks

"come on mum l ain't leaving forever and not as if am going to another country I'll still be here " I hugged her

"your grandfather wants you to come outside" she pecked me and l smiled

My wedding gown was designed by Vivienne Westwood . she is a London atelier who designed my gown to reflect classic British heritage with a signature edge. It's an elegant slick with a thigh-splitting or I'll say corseted bodies teamed with a thousand tulle layer on the skirt

I would have chosen Phillipa Lepley as his renowned for giving a slimmer waistline and his meticulously crafted by-hand wedding dress which is simple and elegant if my marriage was a loved one but since it's an arranged marriage I allowed GP to choose my wedding gown.

I saw GP grinning from ear to ear

" my lovely child looks breathtaking " he winked

He led me to the altar and that fool of a mafia was standing there expressionless

the wedding rituals began and my phone started ringing

I turned to look at Kiara who had a worried expression and knew immediately that things were not going well

I wanted to stop the priest but she signaled me not to, and, she walked toward me

" We don't want the bride's wedding gown to be covered with blood " I rolled my eyes and understood what she meant immediately.

The ritual went on and after which we were pronounced husband and wife

when the priest asked us to have a kiss I was hesitant at first until

" Bella go on " Kiara tapped me on my shoulder

I pulled Leon and kissed him but bit him

we proceeded to the wedding reception but I got a call from a business client requesting to meet with me.

' I didn't want any drama today but seems drama has come looking for me ' I sighed

I turned to look at Leon who was busy on his phone

" stop !" I told the driver and he matched the breaks

" where are you going to ? " Leon questioned

" I'll be back " I said and called Kiara

thank goodness she was right behind us.

~~LEON'S POV ~~

I was busy replying to some important client

when Bella suddenly asked the driver to pullover

" Where are you going ? "I questioned

" I'll be back "she said and stepped out of the car

who the hell does she even think she is ?

I dialed dad's number and after the second ring he picked up

"Hello son what's the problem ? "

"Dad l and Bella won't be coming to the reception "

" What ? " l hear him and grandpa Carson scream

"She left me saying nothing and I have some important work so bye " I ended the call before they could say anything.

I didn't have anything and was free for the day so I called up Matt

" hey buddy, I'll be at the reception in....."

" just shut the hell up, no need to come to the reception "

" why ? " he screamed

" Well your sister-in-law had some important thing to attend to so she left me " I could hear him laugh from the other end of the phone

" so what are you up to ? "

" nothing just on my way back home " I sighed

" hmm let's do this, come over to my place and we'll have some fun "

" Okay "

I got home changed and headed for Matt's place.

*. *. *

I and Matt arrived at a business client's daughter's birthday party.

He only informed me of the invite when I arrived at his place and I had no choice but to attend, and reporters couldn't stop flashing their cameras at me

" Mr. Copeland where's your wife ? " they questioned but I ignored them and walked in.

immediately I got in someone hugged me

I looked down to find Penny

such a bad way to start my evening

" Leon I knew you would come" she screamed

I turned to look at Matt and he struggles to speak

" you came for my birthday party" she held my hand and took me into the building

Penny is my ex-girlfriend although we broke up her father is still a shareholder in one of my company

" hmm "

" Are you still annoyed? have apologized and you said we could be friends " she turned to stare at me

" and that's why am here " I lied keeping a straight face

" and friends don't go around jumping on one another and precise am married now "

" so what ? everyone knows about it and it was on every news channel but I wonder why your bride's face wasn't visible

maybe she's ugly and ashamed "

" and who the hell are you to call his wife ugly ? " I turned to find my cousin Mia

" Mia " Penny ran to hug her but she ignored and pushed her away

" just because you're always on magazines covers doesn't mean you're beautiful "

" excuse me ? " Penny said

" oh yes, you're excused slut, and seems your co-models are scared to tell you the truth but am not, you only have such a nice shape because of your surgeries ...."

" and after all this surgery you're still ugly and that's what gets me "

I heard Bella's voice from behind and I just hope things don't get out of hand.

she came close and pushed penny away from me

dusting my tuxedo as If it was stained

" and who the fuck are you ? " Penny screamed

I felt bad for her as I already knew that Bella wasn't going to spare her

" oh shut that trash you call a mouth up for once

you just keep spilling garbage " she hugged me

" Le..."

" Penny meet my wife Mrs Bella Leon Copeland " I introduced with a smirk

" nice meeting you and if you don't mind I'll love to leave with my husband "

she dragged me along which I didn't mind

" aww " Mia said

" you both look so cute together

hi am Mia Leon's cousin " she extended her hand and Bella took it

" am Bella "

" wow I love your outfit you look outrageous

unlike some plastic people" she rolled her eyes

" Please who designed it ? "

" It's a Ruch midi dress designed by Alexander Wang " Bella replied with a smile and I was getting bored

" wow " Mia's eyes grew wide

I cleared my throat to get both their attention

" Ladies if you don't mind I'll be on my way " I tried pulling away from Bella but she was firm on her grip

" Mia we'll talk later okay I want to speak to my husband"

she said and pulled me towards the washroom

Immediately we got to the washroom she locked the door behind us

she kept staring at me without saying a word

" what ? " I said

" How dare you ? " she spoke up

" dare me what ? "

" We got married just a few hours ago and you're here flirting with your ex " she scoffed

" I wasn't flirting and you left just a few minutes after our marriage without saying a thing..and I didn't even complain...

and come to think of it how did you know that she's my ex ? " I raised an eyebrow

" none of your business and since we're married you belong to me

don't even let me see you with anyone " she pecked me on my lips and left

I knew my life was over after marrying Bella. I never knew I would one day have to bow down to my wife

I went back to join the party and spotted Bella speaking to a girl she was also in a Black gown like Bella but hers was a different design

she had brown skin and curly hair

" and that's why I didn't agree to Bolin contract "

I heard Bella said

I was behind her so she didn't notice my presence

" but Bella we're going to face a lot of difficulties from Don Bolin's younger brother"

" that rascal can go to hell for all I care.

and organize security for everyone" Bella instructed

" including your husband ? "

" yes I meant everyone Kiara " I was about to approach them when my phone rang

" Hello dad "

" son where are you ? " he questioned

" am at Mr. Quinn's daughter's birthday party, and Bella is also here "

" listen Young lad " grandpa Carson called

" am not sure if you know this but Don Bolin is dead "

" yes I heard from Bella and I think she killed him "

" you're right son and that is why I called

we are only hearing about this now although it happened a week ago "

" What ? " I screamed

after hearing this I knew things weren't going to be okay

" Leon I want you to protect Bella

yes she's strong and brave.. might kick your ass if you mess with her but she can sometimes be foolish and have a huge temper "

" temper? "

" yes if she doesn't get what she wants she tends to vent her frustration on anyone so you have to be careful "

I knew he loves his granddaughter a lot and couldn't help but smile

" It's okay grandpa I'll take care of her " I assured

" and one more thing that grandchild of mine is a handful " he said both he and dad burst out laughing

now I see where dad got his shamelessness from
