Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 127: A betrayal
In the cold presence of the snow stood Bella and Klaus. Their eyes spoke volume but known of their lips moved until Bella responded.“I really don’t know where Arya is, I tried calling but her phone was switched off. Is something off?” The troubled expression on Klaus face watered her suspicions. “Something’s up, isn’t it? It’s unlike her to turn off her phone. If you’re searching for her then I want to come too”As she spoke her hands moved and locked her door, giving a clear picture of her intentions. She was ready to join the search right here and now but someone didn’t seem too pleased.“You should head back to my place” That simple line alone contorted Bella’s brows, how could she have forgotten the weird hot-button between them. “I’m not going back there” Her voice was crisp and sharp causing Klaus gloomy expression to deepen. “Why?” His low growl reached her ears, it was a vivid description of his held back anger. “Isn’t it obvious? We’re done. The contract is ove

Her words struck Klaus like lightening, amongst the many emotions, confusion was most prominent but before he got a chance to ask the presence of someone stole their attention.“Uhm mm, sorry for interrupting” Emily announced seeming rather awkward and not a second later their ambiguous posture was broken. “It’s okay, he was just leaving” Bella’s words broke the ice and her hidden meaning wasn’t missed by Klaus. His eyes took a long glance at her before leaving. Just then Melissa stepped out of her apartment, she only caught the retreating car as she approached Bella’s place. “Just the person I was looking for” Her voice stole Bella and Emily’s attention but only Emily had a cheerful expression, on the other hand Bella’s emotions were in shambles. She could bet Melissa was about to ask about Arya and she was exactly right.“Have you seen Arya? I’ve been trying to reach her all evening” Emily also instinctively turned to face Bella, she had the same question but she couldn’t gu

Nick’s POV ‘At such a crucial time, you didn’t wear the necklace I gifted you. At the very least finding you would’ve been easy. Do you despise me that much? So much that you’ll put away everything I’ve gotten you? I’ve only ever wanted to keep you safe but my life’s full of f*cked up events’.“The necklace tracker is useless now” My mumbles were swallowed by a gulp of red wine. It tasted like shit, like hell! Everything’s shitty tonight. I’m losing my composure faster than I’ve ever did in my life. The thought of putting her through this turmoil again was devastating. I stood and walked towards my training room. My emotions were complex, I needed a means to blow out steam. Juliet was crossing the line again and again but I couldn’t do anything because of Adam. Maybe I should hand over the clan to her, it has brought nothing but pain and misery! My shirt dropped to the ground and so did my last thread of self control.“Thud! Thud!”The punching bag took the hit and I didn’t bo

Nick’s POV A soft chuckle twitched my ears, she must find it amusing to be having such a conversation again but none of this felt funny to me. “Of course you were, why wouldn’t you? After all, I’ve got your little pet”My end of the call remained silence, is this what they called anger management? It was a hell load of bull. I’ve never considered Juliet a step-mother, not even once! That title was too goddamn dignified for her. A concubine is all that comes to mind when I think of her. “Cut to the chase” I’m not a fool, I knew exactly what she wanted and the thought of hearing her say it triggered an unspeakable surge within me. “Oh but you know, don’t you? What I want isn’t something anyone can give me”Her words caused my brows to furrow, what’s she aiming at? “But” she added “what you can give to me is the journal ledger. The golden one in exchange for your...pet”A sadistic smile stretched my lips causing the dangling drops of sweat on my jaw to vibrate. Only two people h

Nightfall has never seemed darker in Nicklaus broad-way structured room. His majestic but downcast figure stood before the heat strengthened glass and as he listened to Klaus words his eyes lost all trace of warmth. “R35 has no parents, no distance relations just a wife and a kid, they’ve been missing for some months but there hasn’t been news of such a report, I’m guessing he’s aware of wherever Juliet kept them”For a moment no one spoke, only Nicklaus shortened breathing hummed over the call and then he voiced “when I said bring them to me I didn’t mean pick them up from a yard...”His words dragged out making sure Klaus got the hidden meaning but for clarity he added “...I meant steal, capture, torture, blackmail. Whatever it would take to snatch them from Juliet’s grasps, do it! Leave no stone unturned, find them and bring them to me!”His low but dangerous growls displayed the depths of his intentions, he was done with being logical, heck! The shadows of these unprecedented h

Bella’s POV The ride began quiet and smooth, I knew Emily had a lot to say but the future uncertainties kept us at bay. Indeed it’s hard to believe that I’m on the road searching for Arya, by this exact time last night we were having a heartfelt conversation in bed. I glanced over and noticed Emily’s drifting, she was fighting hard to stay awake, I couldn’t help but feel her helplessness. She just landed and had no moment of rest, the stress on her face testified to that.My body slightly tensed behind the wheels, staring at the building before me gave me a shuddering feeling. “We’re here” My voice above a whisper shot up Emily’s groggy eyes. “Where’s this?” She yawned a response and I mentally fell silent. If I was asked what to call this place, what would I say? My emotions were too complex right now so I just blurted out “Nicklaus’ friend’s place, he should have some answers”.With this I got out first and approached the gates, Emily followed behind but then I noticed she reac

Bella’s POV The suffocating silence somehow brought solace to my heart, the last thing I wanted was to hear a word from him. I appeared as cool as a cucumber but my insides were twisting with discomfort. I had my suspicions but experiencing that scene first hand was too cruel for me. “Aren’t you gonna say anything?”Klaus voice stole my moment of peace, even my silent sober had to be taken away by him! I didn’t reply mostly because I was too torn to speak, I feared that my voice would crack into tears if I dared open my mouth and I’ll be damned if I let myself sink into such humiliation. After all it wasn’t as if I caught my boyfriend cheating, we’re nothing to each other so I kept my lips sealed.“Your being silent is more unsettling than confrontation”. As he spoke he’d tilt his head from the road to my direction but my gaze stayed plastered on the windshield. He let out a sigh and added.“It’s really not what it looks like-”.I didn’t know when my cool demeanor cracked because

Bella’s POV The temperature in the car dropped a notch, Klaus expression turned serious as he kicked the engines and made a U-turn at the intersection. I’m guessing our destination was Mega Casino Lounge. This wasn’t owned by my family but they were one of our major competitors. The owners were notorious for building Casinos that housed criminals and black market trading. It’s safe to say we’re driving towards a danger zone. Regardless, when Klaus told me to stay put in the car I was livid, “I can handle myself” I retorted but he didn’t respond and just shut the doors, circling the car to get to me. “You promised not to get in my way. Keep it and do as I say” I wanted to challenge him but remained quiet and folded my hands in displeasure. He didn’t mind and walked right into the bubbling Casino. The colorful lights displayed symbols that read all sorts of betting wins, it had the ability to make even a saint gamble, I had to give it to them, their marketing strategy was impressiv

Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 232: THE END
Arya’s hands moved to clasp her lips, what she held was both shocking and surprising. Her gaze couldn’t help darting at Nicklaus’s peaceful face. Ever since the incident, she was inclined to bring up Aiden but she couldn’t muster the courage and avoided the topics like the plague. She’d often help him dress his wound while he slept on the drugs and when he was awake she was gone, leaving the maids to prepare and deliver the meals.This was about the time when she usually dressed his wound but something else stole her attention. In her hands were photos of her and Aiden, they were taken when she lived with Aiden, it appeared to be dated back to that day at the hospital. The pictures were only taken from one location. ‘The balcony’It must’ve been taken by a drone or something of that kind, her thoughts were in shambles, he knew about Aiden since?But why didn’t he do anything? Nothing made sense to her anymore. Hours passed after this discovery and Arya stayed seated in his r
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 231: Bid farewell
Arya's POVTechnically everyone here presence was closer to him than his supposed family. I can’t help but think I misjudged him when he said he had no family.Now I know he meant it, no one deserves to grow up in such conditions. With my fingers crossed I perched my ears to listen to the doctor’s announcement.“The surgery was a success. He didn't faint from excessive loss of blood but instead, exhaustion. He’ll be moved shortly, you'll be able to see him then but it'll take a while before he wakes up. His insomnia prevents him from sleeping so we induced him with something strong…”Nicklaus has insomnia? I never knew that, he always slept when we were together. “…Whoever is by his side when he wakes up should call the attention of a doctor. We can only verify his stability when he regains consciousness”.With that, the doctor left and I forgot how to move my feet, when I did remember, the first person I met was Klaus. “Nicklaus has insomnia?”I was staring at him for an answ
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 230: Die for you
“Please…I beg you, I can’t do anything else but this, I’ll find a way to repay you, I promise… Just please spare Aiden”What sounded like a hysterical laugh ended with a scorn from Jane.“Does that mean you’re choosing to pay with your life?… Don’t you get it? There’s no point begging. Juliet had to die because I knew she was in on it, even though she lied and pretended to be a saint, even when she made me take months of gun training, and even when she placed me instead of the real Jane to be Aiden's nanny. She claimed she did all that for my revenge but I knew, I've always known I'd kill her for what she did! So, you see… everyone involved dies, only then would it be fair!”Melissa seemed to have recovered from the shock and shouted.“Let me die instead, please!”“No!” Arya screamed with uncontrollable pain. “I would never let that happen! This has nothing to do with you-”“Shut your mouth, how can a mother be alive when her daughter dies? I’d hang myself if that should happen, I’

“Nicklaus…drop your gun”Arya’s voice cracked but it was audible enough. Her eyes on the other hand were no longer sharp and full of life. It looked like a drawing with no emotions.Just desperation clouded her mind, she was at that point where selling her soul to the devil didn’t sound like a bad idea. Anything would do to get through this nightmare, “Please, just listen to me!” She screamed out in pain, her breathing was haggard and slowly Nicklaus lowered his hands and tossed his gun aside.“Very good, I knew you’d be useful in taming this beast. Now, hand over the ledger”All eyes rested on Nicklaus right now, amongst those eyes were Arya’s shocked gaze. Was she referring to the same ledger that got Luke killed? A shudder ran through her spine, she knew it was very important to Nicklaus, what if he doesn’t give it up and Aiden ends up paying with his life? After all, she hid him from Nicklaus all this while.What if he resents her for it and as retribution he lets Aiden,
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 228: Aiden’s stroller
As expected the night was torture for Arya, she didn't dare lie down, afraid of what she'd see in her dreams tonight. Luke had sent a driver to retrieve Arya’s car so she held her phone while staring at the stars from the balcony. The chair she sat on still had Aiden’s scent and she couldn’t stop crying. How can what felt like heaven a few hours ago suddenly become hell?Such is the pain of longing, It casts a vague appearance in the memories and leaves behind fragments of pieces that end up becoming history. With time they start to feel warm in the heart, no longer the cold of the void space left behind but even the warmth is just the heart’s coping mechanism, nothing can truly replace the missing piece.Above all, it’s the guilt that eats deep into the heart that does the most damage, maybe if things were different seeing a brighter light would be possible sooner than later but that’s never the case.And that’s definitely not the case here!Arya clenched her chest tighter,

The tension in the room immediately tightened, Lucious’s focus was now on Arya. Juliet’s words seemed to do the trick and he began his questioning.“Is this true?…”Of course, his question was met with no reply, of all the times Arya would be in the right state of mind to answer that, right now was definitely not the freaking time!“Are you going to keep avoiding me even if I’m right here? I saw the news and wanted to check in with you but you never answered the phone. So it really was you, Arya”His tone had a tinge of sadness lurking underneath its solemn feel but Arya heard none of this, in fact, she hadn’t spared Lucious a glance the entire time, her gaze remained fixed on Juliet.“I’ve brought the documents, hand over Aiden or there will be serious consequences!” The shakiness of her voice came from her boiling anger, she was so mad it felt like she would explode in rage but Juliet kept adding fuel to fire!“I didn’t know you had hearing impairments… Come tomorrow at noon to

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”“POW! POW!”Fire works graced the sky of the Smith’s residence, the atmosphere was bright and bubbly as were the hearts of everyone present witnessing the glorious scenes of colorful Fireworks bursting open in the sky.“Look Aiden, do you like it?”Arya voiced to the cheerful little man who was swinging his hands with great excitement. Luke and Melissa stood together while Arya stood some distance away with Aiden in her arms and all other members of the household including Jane went back inside to prepare the elaborate meal and Aiden’s necessary arrangements. It was twelve midnight, marking the dawn of a new day, and in this case a new year! So of course Aiden won’t be joining the fun. Jane took him to his cot while Arya, Melissa and Luke had a splendid time at the dining. A completely joyous family was all she ever asked for, it seemed impossible from the start and even the only one she had was taken away but life wasn’t so cruel afterward. It found a way t

Without a word Klaus grabbed Bella’s hand and led her outside. She couldn’t help but think, wasn’t she the one who came to drag him out? How did she end up being dragged instead?He released her hands in front of his car and ruffled his wet hair against the cold air. “Aren’t you cold? Why did you get soaked?”She asked out of sheer concern but deep down she wasn’t complaining about the view he was feeding her lustful mind. It wasn’t bad enough his shirt stuck to him like tissue but a few buttons were undone to reveal his protruding chest. No straight woman could remain a nun when faced with this temptation yet she tried to peel her eyes off and focus it on his face but his face wasn’t any better!The base of his hair was turning black and because it was wet it appeared darker with the blonde tips that dripped off stray water droplets. “I’m fine, I needed to wash off the tipsiness”.“A-alright…” she stammered and it finally dawned on her, just how flushed she was at the though

Bella’s POVChristmas Eve was going smoothly with Amiee. I cooked while she… well, she played games as usual, now that she got the new video game set from Klaus she even neglected eating! Not if I can help it though, she certainly wouldn’t starve on my watch. There were medications to be taken so not skipping meals was as important as breathing.“Amiee! Food is served!”“Coming!”That’s the third time this evening, I matched over and held her favorite stuffed animal.“Come eat or I’ll feed Ms Pears some food”“You can’t do that, you ruin her fur!”At last, something finally got her attention off the screen. It’s cliche that a teenager is still hung up by a stuffed toy but who am I to judge? As long as Ms Pears can get the Job done, she’s welcomed to stay.“The choice is yours, choose wisely”“Fine! Leave Ms Pears out of this”She stood up and abandoned her gaming machine. This made me wonder, just how important was Ms Pears to her.Would I be ranked lower than a stuffed animal
