ISABELLA

He doesn't know who i am. I am Isabella Mckenzie, he might be fire but I'm also fire.

One has to turn into ice to melt the other and I won't be the one to melt, he would.

I got up from the floor and headed to my room. I changed into my nightwear, I've had a really stressful day... I really need some sleep.

NEXT MORNING

l rolled to the other side of the bed and stressed my legs. I yawned and rose up from bed.

"Good morning, Ma'am "A soft, tiny voice spoke up and l moved my eyes to the direction it came.

I opened my eye and met a very young lady. She's of average height and dressed in a maid's outfit.

"Huh? Who are you? "l asked, bemused and got down from the bed.

"I'm Rita, your personal maid "She introduced and I smiled at her.

"Okay, Rita. But I'm Isabella, not ma'am. That makes me sounds really old "i said and she nodded.

"Ok, ma'am... Sorry Isabel "she replied, correcting herself.

"You can call me, Ella "I uttered and she nodded.

"Ella "she pronounced and l smiled.

"What would you like to eat for breakfast, Ella? "She asked and l thought for a while.

"I would be eating out with my friend so don't bother preparing breakfast, get it? "I responded.

She gave me a faint smile and headed out.

I got into the bathroom to go on my morning routine and set out to leave. I got dressed in a short bodycon gown that displayed my shape.

Well, what can i say? I'm fully endowed! Then, I applied powder and lip gloss and proceeded to the stairs.

On getting down, l met Lucas with a lady hovering all over him. l scoffed.

"Men will always be men, "I thought and coughed to get their attention.

"Dude, my car isn't here yet so i need a car key," I said, bluntly as they faced me.

"Who's she? "The bimbo asked.

"I'm his wife and please i don't want to spoil your fun, so tell him to hand me a car key, "I said to the lady.

"Didn't i tell you to avoid me, huh? "He barked, getting up.

"Take a chill pill, dude. l didn't talk last night because i was really tired so listen and listen carefully, I'm not a toy that you can toss around. You might be all tough and mighty but I'm not a weakling either, get it? "l blurted out.

I moved closer to him and pressed my lips on his. His lips were stiff but he responded after a long while.

l used the opportunity and removed his car keys from his breast pocket.

"Thanks for the keys " I stopped kissing him and shoved the keys in his face. l smirked and began walking out.

"Isabel?! "He called out, infuriatingly. I got to the door and paused.

"We should do that often, Mr husband. The kiss was amazing "I responded, flirtatiously and left.

I could hear the bimbo nagging but who cares? Well, l don't.

AN HOUR LATER

"Oh my goodness! Girl, you are crazy! "Lily said, laughing after I told her all that transpired between Lucas and l.

"Well, crazy is an understatement, girl. l had to do something to prove I ain't his pun "l replied and smirked.

"Mafia prince got to shut up by you... How interesting! "She exclaimed and l smiled.

"Girl, he thinks I'm soft "

"Talk to your mom, Ella. She's probably worried about you. Let bygones be bygones, please phone her "

"Oh! please, Lily! I will phone her but not now "I replied and she sighed.

"Okay. How about we find something to make today fun, babe? "l said, trying to lit up her sullen mood.

"And what is that? "She replied, grumpily.

"Well, how about I bake something for you. Cookies, perhaps! What do you do say? "

"Yahhhh! " She squealed, excited.

"Silly girl! "I laughed as we both headed to the kitchen.

"I'm not silly. Just that your cookies are the best. Lucas sure is lucky "she stated and l rolled my eyes.

"Whatever! "

We baked, laughed and had lots of fun before I decided to go back home.

"Well, l got to go girl, "l said and got the leftover cookies packed up in a box. She followed me outside and l hugged her.

She looked on as l trailed to my car. I ignited the engines and waved her goodbye before zooming off.

I drove right into the mansion.

"Welcome back, ma'am "Two guards greeted, bowing slightly.

I smiled at them then stretched out the box of cookies. No one made an attempt to take any of it, I chuckled.

"Pick one "I ordered one of them and he did, then i collected it from his grip and ate it.

"You see, it isn't poisoned. So help yourselves " i said.

They did and muttered a 'thank you, ma'am. l nodded and entered inside.

I met Lucas watching a movie with his bimbo beside him. What's she still doing here? l rolled my eyes.

"Hey babe, "l said in my drama mood as i sat on his laps, giving him a quick kiss on his lips. Lucas just stared at me.

"Isabel, get off me, "he said, calmly and i chuckled.

"Why should l get off, huh? I'm sitting on my husband's thighs so i don't see anything wrong here "l responded and sighed "You know what? you should be grateful l didn't make us have s*x here "l whispered to his ear and he gasped.

"Isabel! "He yelled and giggled.

"Rita! "i called out.

"Yes Bella "She replied walking in.

"Wait! Did she just call you by your name? "Lucas asked and l nodded.

"l told her to, you don't have to get all worked up "

I took a cookie and handed her the box.

"For you and the rest of the maids, "I said and bowed, slightly.

"Thanks, Isabel "she smiled and returned back.

"Such insolence! "His bimbo muttered, lowly but l heard anyways and smirked.

I placed half the cookie in my mouth and suddenly placed the other half in his mouth when he least expected.

"Then i stood up, don't spill it, babe. It's delicious "

"By the way, the rules you gave to me yesterday ain't for me. Nobody gives me rules "l stated and pecked his lips before getting up.

l got to my room and slumped on the bed. l chuckled. l just enjoy taunting him.

LUCAS

Damn it! What the hell does this girl think she is doing, huh? Why is she taunting me so much?

First, it was a kiss this morning and now, she sat on my thighs and gave a delicious cookie to just taste.

I am a CEO and a mafia prince, she isn't meant to taunt me this way.

"Lucas! What the heck is going on? I thought there is nothing between you both "Lisa or Louisa said.

I don't even know her name.

"Get out!! " l shouted and she shuddered.

"But .. "

"l said get out!! "he yelled and she rushed out immediately.

Damn!! I need a drink!

I shouldn't let this girl get to me, no one has ever treated me this way. Damn! this stupid girl!.

I really need to put this girl in her place.

Arrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I'm going to make her life a living hell, I don't know how but I will find a way.

I am Lucas Crawford, A mafia prince and a billionaire CEO. I won't let a little church rat bring me down, I won't.

My phone rang noisily and l grabbed it off the table. When l checked the caller ID, it was mom is calling.

l need to act normal.

"Mom, "I said into the phone.

"Lucas, how is she doing? "

"She's doing fine but she's being in the ass, Mom "I answered.

"Tell me, son. What happened? "She asked.

I explained everything that transpired between us to her.

"Well son, seems like you found a competition. I like her already. "She added.

"But Mom, she's taunting me and l don't like it one-bit "l stressed, bittered.

"Taunting, she isn't taunting you. Hold on a sec, you haven't consummated your marriage? "Mom asked and l scoffed.

"Consummate? You've got to be kidding me "

"See! Consummate your marriage, l need a grandson! "

"Momm! "l whined and she laughed.

"Take care, son and don't do anything stupid. Treat her well and if she complains to me, you have me to reply to. l ain't too old to throw punches, you know "She said and l rolled my eyes.

"Okay, Mom "

"And don't bring girls to the house. You have a wife now so stick to her "She added and I gave an eye roll.

Mom and her lectures!

"Okay Mom "l said and hanged up.

l might be fearful but my mom is my all. I love her and fear her more than death.

And as for Isabella, am going to make her fear life itself, am going to treat her like I treat idiots like her.

I just need something that would hurt and break her, so she can know who is boss.

But what if she tells on me then Mom will beat me to a pulp. Well, seems l have no choice but to be nice to her.

Gosh!

I headed up to my room. l need to sleep, I have an important meeting tomorrow.
