Arranged To The Masked Mafia King An attempted kidnap
Chapter 50ArielLiora glared at me with pouted lips when I told her that I'd be out of the house for a few hours. When Dmitri and I were done discussing in the garden, we returned to the living room to find Fedor, Irina and the cook, Alina, glued to her stories.She was the true definition of a chatterbox and I wondered how long she'd been wanting to break free from her shell and share her ideas to everyone. It was that way till today, but now she'd gotten upset that I wouldn't be with her."Don't go anywhere, mummy," She pressed.My eyes darted to Dmitri who also dressed to go out with me for help, but he looked away, silently informing me that I was alone in this.Guilia was still stuck in her room and since I was to travel in two days, Dmitri found no need for her to travel back to Chicago alone."It won't take time, Liora, I promise. I just have to go out. Help me out here, Dmitri," I thundered.He shrugged and approached Liora whom he hoisted onto his arms. "What's the problem,

Chapter 51DmitriI helped Ariel put our luggage into the SUV and my phone vibrated with a beep in the pocket of my black cargo pants. Without checking, I knew who it was.Margaret and I had talked at length last night. After ignoring her for a few weeks, she thought that the main reason I gave her my attention was because I missed her.If only she knew that I'd be escorting her on the pathway to hell, she'd be hot on her heels right now.Ariel had been quiet ever since I informed her that we wouldn't be traveling together as I had some issue to take care of, but presently, her well-being was my concern.I caressed her cheek with my thumb and she folded her hands, pouting her lips. "Are you still mad at me?""The thing is, I know why you don't want to join us and it makes me so uncomfortable. You have people that can do the job for you, why don't you let them?" She queried.She wasn't going to understand so I placed my hands on her shoulders. "I promise to take the next available flig

Chapter 52ArielThe flight back to Chicago was rather shorter than I expected. My heart thumped fast against my chest with anxiety rising within me slowly.I hadn't seen my parents since I left with Dmitri to Texas and then to Seattle. My mom and I texted each other once in a while but it wasn't so with my dad, and my heart sank each time she told me that he never asked after me.Today, I'd be seeing his face again and I wasn't sure I was ready to ask him why he treated me like an outcast all these time.Liora stirred on my thighs and continued sleeping, snoring lightly. Fortunately, she understood my explanation about her dad and right now, she looked so peaceful that I didn't want her to wake up. Having nothing else to do, I glanced at my side and my gaze landed on Guilia who smiled tiredly."We'll be home soon," She noted rather absentmindedly. I nodded and inhaled deeply. "But why doesn't it feel like home?"She huffed her shoulders and folded her arms, her attention trained on

Chapter 53ArielClimbing down the stairs for dinner felt like going down the Kilmanjaro mountain after being alone in the cold for days. Even being alone at the top of a mountain was better than being in this loveless house.I got to dining clad in a simple sleeveless black flare dress and met Mama who was busy giving orders to the maids who helped with serving the dishes.Irina and Liora walked in just after I'd settled down and I reached for a plate and scooped a piece of baked salmon on it. "Don't eat yet. We have to wait for your father to be here," Mama chided me lightly.The urge to ignore her and keep eating welled up within me, but for the sake of Liora whom I didn't want to witness a family dispute, I obeyed and folded my arms, stomping my foot restlessly on the floor.The air around me was hot and still even though the air conditioner was on. No one spoke, not even my mother who was usually chatty.Maybe she'd noticed how bitter I was and decided not to add to my resentmen

Chapter 54DmitriI crossed my leg over the other and reclined on the back rest of the armchair I was seated, gauging Rocco's expression. He inhaled deeply at intermittent times and it was obvious that whatever issue he had was eating him up. "Happy birthday, father-in-law. I'm sorry I came late," I intentionally interrupted his train of thoughts. He darted his attention away from the book he was trying to read and frowned. "Why didn't you come with her? What if something had gone wrong?" He deflected. "If you're this concerned about your daughter, why are you giving her a hard time?" I retorted.He clasped his hands together, lowering his head as he sighed wistfully. "I'm ashamed of myself," He confessed. A sly remark rolled to the tip of my tongue, but I held them back, seeing how bare he laid himself. He was already vulnerable and the last thing he needed was my judgment and criticism even though he deserved it. "You're a Capo, though, you aren't supposed to be feeling this wa

Chapter 55ArielIt wasn't completely dark outside as the light from the incandescent bulbs reflected brightly on the path of the lonely estate. I didn't mind because it was just what I needed—the night owls that hooted loudly, the cold gust of wind that hit my hair hard, forcing it to fly in different directions. Some of the strands formed a veil over my tear-eyed face.Slowly, the crescent moon appeared, further illuminating my path. I smiled and took in a deep breath, enjoying the silence that made me forget about the delirious conversation I just had with my father. Meeting Dmitri by the door at that point was quite surprising and it took me a great deal of control not to crash into his arms, but I knew how he reasoned and he might have wanted me to go back in with him. I shook my head involuntarily. Tonight, when I return to the mansion, I'll inform him of my wish to return to Seattle as spending one more day in that house could damage my sanity completely. Still walking abs

Chapter 56ArielMeeting an empty room when I returned to the house doused my excitement. After the heart to heart conversation with my father, the only person my heart desired to see so strongly was Dmitri. However, a small piece of paper that laid on the bed-stand caught my attention. I wasn't with my phone so I wouldn't have been able to read whatever text he'd tried to send. The note read. Instantly, I dropped the paper carelessly on the floor and dashed off. There was no need for me to be ready as he had prepared everything. Just as his note read, the door to the attic was slightly opened when I got there and the dim light coming from the halogen bulb poorly illuminated the room. Giving the room a cursory glance, I found him lying lazily on a small mattress by the edge of the wall with a two cups of coffee and a blanket. His buff frame had already crowded the whole mattress and I wondered how I'd be able to fit in. "Why aren't you in our room?" I shut the door behind me a

Chapter 57Ariel"Attention everyone," Father hit his glass cup lightly with the handle of his spoon. "To celebrate my birthday, we'll be having a beach party this evening and there'll be lots of food to eat and drink. I don't want anyone to be missing or I'll be offended,"A beach party? Funny how I'd thought about it after I woke up and now my father had already organized a party there. What was I supposed to wear? My mother's bikini set wouldn't even fit me. Unless Dmitri could drive me to a shop down the road, I wouldn't have any appropriate outfit for the party. "We'll surely be there. It's been a while since I visited the beach," Dmitri answered and took a swig from his orange juice. And then he stretched his hand toward me. "Can we go to our room when you're done?"I rolled my eyes at his unnecessary formality and flashed a cheeky smile at my parents. "Catch y'all later," I said as we strolled out. "Yeah, and make a lot of babies too," Father shouted behind me. I slammed t

Arranged To The Masked Mafia King Epilogue— A second chance
Chapter 98ArielTWO MONTHS LATERI stood before Dmitri with the priest holding a book in his hands. A petal dropped from the canopy of flowers that was used as a roof to shield us from the harsh rays of the sun.And Dmitri beamed at me with the brightest smile I'd ever seen as we renewed our vows to each other in the presence of my parents, Vladimir, Liora and a few important Bratvan members.He reached for my hands and squeezed them tenderly, peering into my eyes. "A year ago, I was bittered by the fact I'd be getting married to a woman whom I barely knew anything about. We met for the first time unconventionally and your sassiness strengthened my dislike toward the idea of marrying you. I continued to console myself with the fact that the alliance would help solidify the gang and our trade, but what I never knew was that the marriage was arranged to make me a better version of myself,"His voice cracked as he paused and I began to wonder when he became this emotional.I leaned clos

Chapter 97DmitriAriel should have been here with me to say goodbye to the last phase of our trauma, but her body suddenly started acting up this morning, and after what happened three days ago, I admitted her for a general body check."Wait, Dmitri," Anya's raspy voice stopped me from taking any further step out of the ward.She'd be locked in here until the psychiatrist decided that her mental health was back to normal. At least, it was better than living in guilt for the rest of my life.I spared her a backward glance, my eyes roving through her pale face. How did I go from being madly in love with this woman to feeling nothing for her?"What do you want from me?"Her hands had to be chained to the metal rail of the bed after she made two attempts to escape from her ward this morning. I couldn't have her doing more damage to my family so the doctor and I decided on forcefully restricting her to a place."I'm sorry," She sighed, running her tongue over her lips. "Can I have thirty

Chapter 96Ariel Anya smirked. "Who else do you think it was?"Dmitri's eyes shimmered with tears. "I loved you so much, Anya. Why didn't you just tell me who you were?"She sunk her ass on the edge of the chair and shrugged. "I was scared that you'd break up with me if you found out so I faked my death. The plan was to watch you from afar and make sure you were alright. I didn't want a woman whom I couldn't control to be around you so I sent Margaret to watch over you, fortunately, she was indebted to me,""Don't you think you need to visit the hospital? Who sends a woman to fuck their man?""I do," She flashed her teeth vilely. "The plan was going smoothly until you decided to get married to this bitch and fall for her. I couldn't bear it anymore and then I thought to come back and get my man. It's that simple,"Dmitri paced around the room in frustrated struts, while drawing in shallow breaths to control his anger. "I have a question for you, Anya, and I want you to answer me trut

Chapter 95ArielIt was another chill morning for me to experience different kinds of emotions while everyone went about their day peacefully. The worst part was that I couldn't follow Dmitri around as I wanted.His work was just too violent and unsafe and we couldn't tell the next enemy who'd waylay us and use me as bait.The drama playing on the television was too chaotic for me to follow so I turned it off flippantly in a bid to head out. Maybe take a stroll or stop by Cake Treats.The doorbell rang twice and I abandoned my initial plans, hurrying off to get to the door. I placed my eye on the peephole and my heart skipped a beat.Overcome with trepidation, I dashed back to the sofa to get my phone to inform Dmitri about Chiara's visit, unfortunately he wasn't reachable.Back in Chicago, we had a safe house where we'd hide if anyone was in danger, but I couldn't make assumptions and raise an alarm when I wasn't sure of her identity.At least she was here, and I'd get the opportunit

Chapter 94DmitriMy knuckles met on the wooden frame of the door and then I halted for a while, impatiently waiting for the permission to come in. Nikolai and I had never related to each other as brothers so I didn't have access to his house.We fought a lot when we were younger and while I thought that we'd grow out of the resentment we bore for each other, it tripled when I found him banging a girl I liked in high school.I was met with silence so I knocked again and my instincts urged me to open the door. The door gave way and I strolled in, quietly taking in the features of his mansion.I didn't even know he had a mansion here in Seattle.Giggles and murmurs resonated from the staircase to the living room where I was. Then he appeared behind her, spanking her ass while she blew a kiss at him.She froze when she noticed my presence, her eyes bulging in surprise. Nikolai trained a smirk at me, clad in a long black robe that he didn't bother to tie up.His face was quite red, his li

Chapter 93ArielAnger and jealous tears streaked down my cheeks as I palmed my face; my raging hormones spurring the roller-coaster of emotions that rode through me.I quickly wiped the tears off my face when the door made a creaking sound.Shit! How could I have forgotten that Dmitri would be returning home soon? Not wanting him to find me in this embarrassing position, I dragged my panties up to my butt and kept the dildo back in the drawer, leaving the frame on the desk.In hasty and sad strides, I pushed the door open and he waltzed in, his dark orbs scrutinizing my face meticulously. My emotions chose to betray me at that moment as tears welled up in my orbs again."What's wrong, Ariel?" His voice was so soft and soothing."I don't know. I missed you so much," The part where I missed him was partially the truth, but I couldn't tell him that I was grieved about his past.He cupped my cheeks, his thumb wiping off the tear that hung around my eyelid. "I missed you too," He replied

Chapter 92Dmitri "Shoot them," Enzo's gruff voice resonated in the darkness and I lurched forward, falling flat on my stomach as more shots were fired above me. Nikolai single-handedly cleared all the guards that came with Enzo and then the light flickered on. Dead bodies were littered around the room, some of them stacked upon each other like a pack of cards. A deep pain-filled groan caught my attention and I found Enzo, holding onto one of his thighs, the same one I'd planned to explore my artistic carving skills on. A black vest was flung at me and I put it on quickly. As I crossed over to him in slow and calculated strides, he cowered, his body trembling visibly while blood seeped out from the bullet wound on his thigh. "How the mighty has crumbled," I mocked him, reveling in his fear. He flitted his gaze around and the light dimmed in his eyes when he realized that no one was coming to rescue him, just the same way he'd made me feel some moments ago. "Please," His lips qu

Chapter 91DmitriIt was one week already and I was yet to believe that Ariel was in love with me, just as I was with her. My lips stretched wide with a grin spreading over my face; a light chuckle cracked from my throat. Fortunately for Vladimir and me, I wasn't in the driver's seat or our lives would have been under threat without how I was chuckling nonstop. Vladimir spared me a glance, his brows arched. "What's wrong with you man?""I'm in love again, brother. Never knew it would happen this soon," I declared, pressing my knuckles. I was sure that if we weren't on a mission, he'd have parked the car to the side and drilled me of all the details. "Fuck that shit, Dmitri! What did she do to make you this excited about love again? I thought you just wanted a physical relationship with her,""It's hard to not fall in love with a woman who's everything to you. She's carrying my child,"This time he couldn't help but step on the break and floor the gas. "How did that happen so fast?

Chapter 90ArielThe rays from the bright incandescent bulbs fixed on both sides of the room jolted me from my sleep. At least, I wasn't feeling exhausted anymore and my vision wasn't blurry.Forgetting that a cannula was fixed to the vein on the back of my palm, I sat up abruptly and passed a paranoid glance around and realized I wasn't in my room. This wasn't even the queen-sized, plush bed I enjoyed sleeping on every night.It wasn't that the bed wasn't comfortable. I mean it was bigger than the size of most beds in each ward, and maybe a little birdie might have told the nurses whose wife I was, but I wasn't just comfortable being here.Then my mind flashed back to the reason I was here and Liora who was earlier staring at the window, spared me a glance and came to me with a huge smile plastered on her face."Mommy, you're awake. I'll go call, Dad,"I grabbed her arm in shock before she could take another move. "Your father is here?"She nodded with a sweet smile. "I called him on
