~~ BELLA'S POV ~~
" We would be meeting the family tonight," he said and I suddenly felt nervous
I didn't know what to do, I have 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
" hope you like it " I heard Leon's voice from behind
" did you just say as 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
I turned to find Leon staring at me
" what," I asked with my mouth filled with food
" Nothing, I just like watching you"
" watching me? am I a joker performing a joke or some kind of magician " I tucked my hair behind my ear 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 Mr..peland
" How are you doing " she peaked both my cheeks.
" 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 laughed
" 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
" 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
~~ LEON'S POV ~~.
I couldn't help but feel relief seeing Bella get along with the family
" I think you have to return to Russia," dad said taking a sit as we entered his study
" I know that.
Don Bolin's younger brother is trying to create a difference between two groups and has gotten information about it " I informed
." we both know who his main target is and she wouldn't be safe if you leave her alone and also her grandpa wants you to take her along for her safety "
I shook my head hearing what dad said
old man Carson and my dad are underestimating my wife
if only they knew that she is a merciless demon when it comes to getting rid of her prey
" Okay I'll talk to her about it," I said and excused myself.
I arrived at the dining table just to find Bella, mum, and Mia laughing
Bella's face had a radiant glow just like a normal lady should and not a straight and mischievous smile like she always had
I took my seat beside her and found her plate untouched
" Leon please call Matt and ask where he is " mum requested
" no need aunt am here " Matt cane forward holding a bouquet
" speak of the devil" Mia scoffed
" This is for my fearless sister in law" he handed Bella the flowers and she smiled
for some reason, I couldn't bear seeing her smile at someone else
" open up " I shove a spoon full of food into her mouth
" why haven't you touched your food " I questioned.
"We were .... "
I didn't allow her to speak before feeding her another spoon full.
I turned to find mum dad and Matt staring at me
" aunt when did Leon start caring about someone
this is going to be breaking news " she said clicking photos of I and Bella.
" Mia don't you dare " I dropped the spoon I was holding
" This is going to be the biggest news on the internet with the
# grumpy, Ruthless CEO Leon Copeland suddenly cares about orders " she took more pictures
" mum talk to her "
" no no don't involve me in this "
" da ... ".
" I think you're calling the wrong person my dear "
dad raised both his hands
Bella kept staring at me and Mia with a smile and I love that smile
but am not letting those photos get viral
" okay what do you want "
" Now you're speaking" she smirks
" I want fifty thousand dollars for each picture"
" what the fuck !! " I screamed
" hey come on you're a bloody billionaire so two hundred dollars shouldn't be an issue "
" mum are you seeing this little brat "
" come on Leon don't be a stingy pocket " Bella smirked and I could see Mia rejoicing
" okay I'll give it just delete those photos," I said giving up
" no you won't, make the transaction and I'll delete it "
" yes go on Leon " Bella insisted and I brought out my phone making the transaction
" aww you both are the best
and I never took any pictures " she smirked and both her, Bella, mum, dad, and Matt began laughing and I felt stupid
