Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

“Falak…Help” Klaus shouted helplessly when all my relatives were making me eat various types of Indian food with love so much. “I can’t have more.”, He tried to explain, but at the same time, my mom kept a laddoo (a type of sweet dish, you can google it if required) in his mouth.

“Mom, make sure that his tongue will taste all the flavor of Indian dish by the time he decides to leave.”, I added instead of helping him. He glared at me, but I just laughed and walked away to check on Angela.

“She already has her food, so I asked her to have some rest.”, Bella, my cousin, said, stepping out of the room in which Angela’s things were arranged.

“Now come with me! We girls have a lot of things to catch up on.”, She said and dragged me toward the bride’s room.

Yes! Even she was staying in the same palace where the groom’s families were because the bride, or say Camella Reynolds was from Italy, and her parents were not alive, so Uncle Vyom and Aunt Pragati were acting as the parents of both Kush and Camella.

(You can read the story ‘My Girlfriend is Mafia Queen! For better understanding, the story of Kush and Camella. If you don’t want to, it’s fine.)

“Can we come in?” Bella asked before walking inside.

“You don’t need to ask Bella.”, There came the voice of my future sister-in-law. We walked inside and found her using her phone.

“Hi Bella, Hi Falak! Come grab a seat!”, She said and locked the phone, tossing it away.

“Were you talking to Kush?” Bella asked in a teasing tone.

“No. It was related to some work.”

“Work? Even at the time of your own wedding?”

“It’s just…”, She stopped before looking at me. “I felt like I had seen Angela and Klaus somewhere.”, She added, on which my heart started pounding loudly.

“Really? Where?” Bella asked in surprise.

“Have you been to Australia before?” I asked. Before, as per Klaus, only once Angela and he was caught seen together, and that was at their wedding.

But that wedding was held between a limited number of people-a close associate of Angela’s mafia father and Klaus’s family.

“Yes! I have been to Australia unlimited times. I don’t even remember the counts.”, She replied to my question first and then looked at Bella. “But I don’t remember where I saw them.”

“Maybe in a business meeting or something?” Bella suggested.

“I doubt that. If I would have done any kind of business with any of them, then there could be no chance that I could forget them that easily. If I’m not wrong, then I have either just seen them together.”, She muttered, more like she was talking with herself.

‘Please, Lord! Don’t tell me that she could be one of them who had seen Klaus and Angela’s wedding.

Otherwise, whosoever was pampering him by feeding him delicious food might end up giving him poison as well.’ I prayed silently in my mind.

“Why are you thinking so hard about it? Don’t you know that you’re the bride, and the bride must look tension-free?” Bella asked. “Just give this task to Luca; I’m sure he can handle it and then report back to you as soon as possible.”

“I have done the same. In fact, I was talking to Luca only when you had found me using the phone.”, Camella said.

“Sorry, but who is Luca?” I asked because I hadn’t heard of this name before.

“He’s Ella’s personal bodyguard, her right hand, and her guardian.”, Bella replied.

“Personal Bodyguard? Why did she need one?” I asked in confusion.

“Didn’t Aarvik uncle tell you about Ella’s profession?” Bella asked, on which I shook my head. Well, I couldn’t blame him for that. There were so many people in my family that my mind was trying to catch up on as many things as it could. So, maybe dad would have missed telling me about her profession. “Ummm…well…Ella is the Mafia Queen of Italy.”

I blinked once and then twice, waiting for them to laugh and tell me that this was some kind of joke. But their expressions didn’t change at all.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I mean the leader of the Mafia in Italy,” Bella said the same thing in another way, as if my mind was not able to process the things in the first place.

Mafia?

Oh. My. God.

‘She is in the Mafia. Now, just some random person but the leader of the Mafia.’

WHATTTTTT!!

Oh shit!! Now I was sure that she might have attended Klaus and Angela’s wedding.

I quickly stood up on my feet and flew from Camella’s room as soon as possible. I wanted to collect my sanctity before facing anyone in the family.

I recalled how mercilessly those people had killed Lance’s mother and his uncle.

I closed my eyes in fear remembering those memories. Not only this, Angela’s father wanted to kill me in a car accident, but poor Lance fell into that trap.

They were bad people who could kill anyone without showing any mercy. I couldn’t imagine how cruel and heartless could the leader of the Mafia be?

But the question was, why was everyone preparing for the marriage? Kush was going to be a future surgeon, and his bride was a Mafia? How could someone get ready for this marriage? Unless…unless she would have hidden the truth of her identity from everyone.

Yes!

“Falak?” I jumped and screamed at the same time when Camella tapped my shoulder from behind.

“Go away. Don’t kill me.”, I screamed and tried to run far away from her as soon as possible. But immediately, she grabbed me by holding my arms, stopping me from running away. I started fighting to pull myself away from her grip but failed miserably.

She chuckled before speaking, “Can we talk?”

“Let me go, please! I won’t say a thing about you.”, I pleaded, on which she started laughing loudly and let go of my arms. She kept laughing for a while while I looked at her in shock. Whether this laugh was an evil one or a funny one?

“What will you not tell others about me?”, She asked between her laugh.

“That you are a mafia?” I said more like asked, on which she started laughing more loudly, holding her stomach. She hit her hand on the wall to control her laugh, but she couldn’t.

I didn’t get what was so funny here!

Suddenly I started feeling like an idiot.

“Stop laughing, will you?” I pouted, on which she wiped the tears which appeared in her eyes because of laughing so much. It took her a while to completely calm down, but she was still laughing in between.

“Do you really think that I’m marrying Kush, your cousin’s brother, without telling him about my work?”, She asked with an amused expression. “We are getting married, not playing games when I won’t share the biggest secret of my life. Not only him, in fact, each and every family member knows that I’m a Mafia.”

“I…I don’t understand.”, I muttered. “How did you convince everyone? And how did they even agree?”

“It took twenty years to convince everyone, especially your Aunt. The path was tough, but our relationship handled everything.”, She smiled and said in a dreamy tone.

“Twenty years?”

“Yes! We have been in a relationship since we were just six. I still can’t believe that we are finally getting married.”, She told me about her love story, of which I was still unaware. “I believe you got scared of my identity, but not everyone who wears the mask of devils is actually cruel or heartless. I mean…my work demands that type of work from me, but that doesn’t me I keep killing everyone on the road without any reason. I’m not a bad person, but yes! I won’t spare anyone who dares to hurt my family. And YOU. ARE. FAMILY, Falak. So there is no way I can even think of harming you or killing you, okay?”

I didn’t know how to react to that. She reached toward my face and caressed my face. “You’re my younger sister, just like Bella is. So, you don’t have to fear anyone. And ever in my life, if any problem occurs in your life where you need the help of this sister, and remember that all you have to do is to SHARE.”

I nodded my head, but deep down, I was scared of the thought she could be the one who could reveal Klaus’s relationship with Angela in front of everyone.

“Everything is good now?” Bella asked, coming near us.

“I think so.”

“Perfect then. I was thinking of landing another two bombs on her today itself.”, She said and giggled.

“Two BOMBS?” I asked in confusion.

“Yes!”, Camella responded

At the same time, Bella grinned before speaking. “There are a few more persons from the family who were or are in the Mafia.”

‘You gotta to be kidding me.’

“My husband, Dimitri Ivanov, is the leader of the Russian mafia.”, Bella commented.

“And your uncle, Vyom Grover, used to be the leader of the Indian Mafia.”, Camella said.

I stared at the faces of both girls and recalled my conversation with dad.

‘And what about the biggest problem of HIS life! That NICOLAS JUAN DIEGO? He said that he would kill me if….

‘Do you think that anyone can even touch you when your father, brothers, and sisters are by your side?. Don’t think about that, Nicolas or Ticolas! Your family can take care of him.’

‘But dad, he is the leader of the Australian Mafia. He can kill any one of us and might hurt our close ones.’

‘Do you see any type of tension or stress on my face? Because I don’t have any. So, don’t worry about anything.’

*

Now I realized why Dad had said so!

I couldn’t understand that I should be scared of my family members or people should be scared of my family members!

One thing was sure now that, this wedding was not going to be as smooth as I had thought before! If…If Camella recalled her meeting with Klaus and Angela, then the third bomb would be dropped.
