Chapter: Chapter XIIOver the next few days Ariana remained busy. She barely had time to think about the disastrous lunch adventure with the Navarro CEO. Stepping out of the cap with piping hot coffee in one hand, her handbag on the crook of her arm, her other hand holding onto a black hard cover book and her phone while she spoke into her Bluetooth, she walked to the entrance of her company."No, I'm not home today...You told me get a job so I'm going to get one...Dad!...Alright fine. Love you...Yes, I'll call later."She ended the call with a playful eye roll. She arrived at the door and with skillful maneuvering, she somehow managed to open it without dropping anything. She was greeted by a cheerful Hannah, who was always punctual since her first day on the job."Good morning, Ms. CEO.""Good morning, Hannah."Watching her boss head towards the elevator, Hannah looked like she was caught in a daze. She had heard countless rumors about the ill tempered and bad mouthe

Chapter: Chapter XIWhen Elliot arrived on the second floor, Carmelo began to dread his decision to pester Elliot. The Italian Don had an abnormally calm composure and an indifferent expression on his face. Carmelo knew that look well enough; it was the calm before a thunderstorm.She's right. She's not my girlfriend. Elliot fumed silently to himself, his footsteps sounding harsher and louder than usual on the wooden flooring.In his twenty-three years of living and his socialite status, Elliot was no stranger to beautiful women and over the years he had quite a bit of experience with them. However, he had never been interested in any of them to the point of wanting to engage in anything that would be intimate and emotionally invested.Ariana was different to him.

When she walked to her father's office she found it empty. Her father's personal assistant, Frederick, notified her that he was waiting for her in the private conference room downstairs."Is he in a meeting?" Ariana dropped her Birkin on the couch of her father's office and turned towards the man who had stood at her father's side loyally."He didn't say," Frederick shook his head. "He just told me to inform you of his whereabouts when you arrived.""Thanks Fred."Lea

Quinn had volunteered for her driver to drop Ariana home after she dropped out at the studio but Ariana declined. She planned to hail a cab back to her apartment. Taking out her phone to check her messages while she walked, her eyes bulged when she saw the amount of missed calls from her father.Her father had been in Syndey for an extra week since the banquet so his calls signaled that he had just landed in Melbourne and his personal security had informed him of the headlines he had missed.Oh how peachy!Ariana gulped nervously. While her father wasn't as strict as most, he definitely put the 'protect' in overprotective! Ariana didn't usually walk around with her bodyguards

She pulled her silky black Chanel bathrobe tighter around her before reaching for her makeup bag. She had an important meeting that morning so she had to ensure she looked good, even though she wasn't one for wearing much make-up.Fifteen minutes later, she gave her face a satisfying once over before packing everything back into her makeup bag. Leaving her bathroom, she ventured back into her closet to choose something to wear. She settled on a black long-sleeved turtle neck dress which stopped at her knees. She paired it with a red mid-thigh boyfriend blazer, leaving her hair down and slipping her feet into a pair of strapped black heels.On her way out the closet,

The battery in Jennifer's phone was almost finished and I had hacked through her phone and found quite a lot of information. I found out that the missing money in the mafia was her doing before and after she came to the mafia.So the missing briefcases was her uncover works.The rain poured down heavier and I pulled off my shirt and wrapped it around my arm to stop the flowing blood. I looked at the bloody bullet in my hand trying to put my thoughts and emotions into order.You just had to shit it up again Xavier! You let her go after being so stupid.I rested my head on my elbows which were propped on my thighs.I need to have her back in my arms. I miss you too much Royalty.

I asked rolling my eyes"My traitor here," he looked at Jennifer's body in disgust then at me "already told you what I want. The bonds and the jewel music box.""I'll give you neither." I said "Guns don't scare me as I grew up with them and you don't scare me either. Where is Reign and Damanico?""How am I supposed to know where that idiot is?" Cardinal scoffed "He betrayed me and left. Liam left too."Liam?"Tell me where the bonds and music box are Xavier and I'll let you live." I heard the gun clickMy gaze shifted to the phone on the table and I eased over to it slowly. Cardinal hadn't realized my intentions at yet."Why would I give you the bonds?" I asked buying some time"I don't want your stupid fake mafia here in Italy." he said in disgust "It's the least of my concerns especially since I know that your real mafia in is New York Ci

Chapter: 39I woke up to extreme pounding in my head and it was painful. Jennifer finally showed her true colors and had knocked me out with a book while I was kissing her. I tried to open my eyes and realized I was blindfolded and I tried to move my arms and legs and I realized I was sitting and tied up.Pretty dam good too!"Aww my poor baby." I heard a voice say and anger rushed through me"Jennifer." I snarled through gritted teeth"Are you mad at me baby?" I heard her footsteps coming closer"Why wouldn't I be?" I shot a question back at her"You'll thank me later." she began to massage my tensed shoulders"For what? Kidnapping me after slamming a World history book in my head?""I did what was necessary to make you mine.""Oh fuck off!" I snarled and shook her off me fiercely "I rather die than be with you Jennifer. I don't know why I put up with your stupid games anymore when I knew your trick all along. I should have finished your sorry pussy long ago."She didn't respond and I soon heard

I lied and turned back to the pasta I was eating"Don't lie to me Ro." he turned my head back to face him with his index finger"I was just thinking about him." I replied looking anywhere but into his eyes "I miss him Damanico. I want to go back and try to make up with him again. I want to be back in his arms with him whispering how much he loves me in my ear. I want him Damanico."Damanico looked at me softly and I turned away from him again."Royalty-" he started but I cut him off"Jennifer ruined everything."

Chapter: 37I fell onto his bed as we made out again for the fifth time that night. I was at Damanico's house late that night after Royalty went to sleep and we had dinner together. With him out all day with Royalty there's no time for dating so we do it in the night. We texted, called and saw each other secretly."Damanico...." I moaned his name as he sucked on my neck "You'll give me a hickey.""Good." he looked at me with an amused look "That's my mark on you. You're mine baby."I giggled as he tickled me a little."No matter what...you're mine and mine only." he kissed me and I felt a little guilt creeping inI had a make-out session with Alessandro when he found out information on Jennifer and now I was feeling a little guilty."Babe I've got something to tell you." I pulled away from his lips a little"What's wrong?" he looked at me confused"I've got something to confess." I looked away a little "Don't get mad, please baby.""I won't." he kissed my cheek "Tell me."Here goes nothing."Ales

Chapter: 36I closed my room door softly.What an hour?Chrissy had lectured me for about an hour in rapid Italian and he swore a lot. I knew he was really mad when he swore. I started to pull up my shirt when there was a soft knock on the door."Come in." I calledAlessandro opened the door and walked in with a laptop under his arm. He closed the door quietly and I pulled my shirt over my head. He looked away a little."That's distracting Veah." he teased"Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes and turned to him "Like you haven't seen me naked before. We took baths together as kids. That's how close we were. What age did we stop?""Fourteen." he answered"When your hormones kicked in." I smirked"True." he stuck his tongue out at me then studied my breasts for a while "You got bigger."I playfully swatted his arm knowing he was right. He knew me inside out like Xavier as he was my childhood best friend and he still was."What do you want?" I unzipped my skirt and let it fall as a pool around my ankles"I
