~~ BELLA'S POV ~~
Leon left home without informing me of where he was going and having breakfast
my phone rang and I picked it up to find a call from Kiara.
" Hello ".
" Hello Mrs. Copeland how are you doing " I could hear the amusement in her voice
" okay cut it what do you want "
" well your mum said she's been trying to reach you but you weren't taking her calls so I called to find out how your night was "
now I understand what she meant
I felt like slapping her
" just fuck off " I scoffed
" hey just chillax your mum only told me to invite you shopping "
" hmm.. at what time "
" by twelve "
" okay, I'll be there " I ended the call and rushed to the room to dress thank goodness I was free for the day.
*. *. *
I arrived at the shopping mall and was welcomed by mum
she hugged and pecked me all over my face and I smiled knowing my mum would never change
" how have you been," she said with a smile
" am good "
" hope you ain't giving Leon any problem " she raised an eyebrow
" no mum I don't... I let him sleep till his heart content and when he woke up I prepared breakfast for him" I lied with a smile and Kiara started coughing
" aww my baby has grown up so much" mum smiled and led the way into one of the stores
" you're such a lier " Kiara whispered into my ear and walked away
Telling a white lie wasn't a big idea and knowing mum so well she would have brought down heaven if I told her what I did to Leon
mum began shopping and I sat at a corner going through my social media accounts, I wasn't interested in shopping today so I just nodded at anything mum showed me and prayed silently for this day to come to an end
" we meet again" I turned to find penny Leon's ex-girlfriend
I just ignored pretending not to see her
" hey girls come over here
come and meet the bitch who called me ugly at my birthday party". she called her friends over.
I just ignored them as I wasn't in the mood to fight with anyone especially not an ugly thing like her
" hey am talking to you bitch " she snatched away my phone
I just closed my eyes taking in deep breaths
" give me back my phone," I asked in the nicest way I could but she didn't comply
something told me this girl wanted trouble
" seems Leon isn't here to save you so what are you going to do slut"
my last string of patience just broke lose
" you want to see what I can do right"
" oh yes please show me " she scoffed
I turned around and I could see her smirk
I gave her an upward palm heel strike knowing very well she didn't expect it
" how dare you " she screamed as blood kept flowing down her nose
everyone gathered around us while some made videos
" Now listen very closely, Penny Quinn
if I ever see you around my husband or hear his name from you dirty mouth I'll send you to hell.
like come on what's wrong with you Leon is already married so get over him and you wanted to see what I can do right.
where's the manager" I called and everyone turned to face me
I could feel the dangerous stares from Penny but I wanted to put her in her place once and for all and if she thinks am done with her well she's wrong to cause am just starting
" Mrs.Carson " a chubby man in a suit came forward
" good afternoon ma please what's your challenge," he asked
" theirs a little pest which has refused to allow me to carry out my shopping in peace
you know what to do about this pest right but if you don't know I'll be glad to remind you of the consequences if I decide to leave this place right now " I threatened with a serious face
" ahem ... miss Quinn we would please need you to leave the premises
" what how dare you "
" Please call the security guards," I said and she stormed out of the store like a kid
" ma we are sorry for the inconvenience he apologized and I nodded
I turned to find mum smiling which was unlike her
I was preparing to get scolded for breaking Penny's nose but she gave me a thumbs up instead
Kiara on the other hand winked and I knew I was never going to hear the end of today from either of them
~~ LEON POV ~~
I arrived home and heard some weird noise from the kitchen
I looked around and there was no servant around
I then made my way towards the kitchen and found Bella picking up the broken pieces of glass
what the hell is she even doing in the kitchen
" first his ex-girlfriend and how his utensils are troubling me
why can I just have a free day without any stress" I smiled hearing her
The news was all over the media with the
# Mrs. Leon Copeland broke the nose of miss Penny Quinn
# Ex girlfriends know your limits
I was shocked at first when Matt showed me the news, but I didn't mind as Penny needed to be taught a lesson
I tiptoe and hugged her from behind
" why are you venting your anger on the poor utensils " I whispered and she turned to face me
" did you tell everything related to you to trouble me today" she raised an eyebrow
" what me " I played innocent
" don't tell me you haven't seen the news "
" ohh you mean Penny, well she got what she deserves. I had warned her "
" you sure " she looked into my eyes.
" Yeah "
" Why are you being nice and sweet to me," she said
" hmm I don't know maybe because you're my wife and you deserve to be pampered" I held her by her waist and helped her sit on the counter
" well Mr husband unlike novels where a mafia king gets married to an innocent sweet girl and he has to change for her you don't have to change for me cause am not innocent " she traced her hand down my chest
" I know you ain't innocent from our last two encounters " I tucked her hair behind her ear
" am aware of the first time we met but I don't remember the second time" she raised an eyebrow
" Remember the night you killed Bolin, you pointed a gun at me " I smirk
" you're lying " she rolled her eyes
" well if I am then why do I have your sweater " I kissed her and she gasped
" Why do we always have to meet in such bad situations? I mean..."
" well you caused it if you hadn't kidnapped my best friend and the right-hand person then maybe I wouldn't have taught you to be such a jerk " she smiled
" What me a jerk "
" yes "
" you should be thanking me instead of calling me a jerk
Bolin wanted to shoot at her so I pretended to adopt her "
" you mean that slut tried killing her?.. too bad he's with the devil
but why was she unconscious when I arrived "
" ahem ... let's just start all over again"
I tried changing the topic
" whatever " she pushed me away and made her way for the door
" just hold it " I pulled her back
" let's go of me ".
" no you would first have to agree to us starting over " she tried wiggling out of my grip
" let...go..it tickles," she said in between laughter and for the first time I could see her genuinely smile
she looked very beautiful with no care in the world
" Okay okay I'll be your friend"
" you sure hope you ain't backing out after I let go "
" I promise I ain't an asshole so I won't back out," she said and I let go
she ran out of the kitchen laughing uncontrollably
" hey you better bring me cold coffee," she said standing at the door
" yes ma " I saluted with a smile and she winked
