Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 141: Bring me her head
“Where are you headed sir?” Nick’s chauffeur asked with a gaze fixed on the rear. The man reflecting through looked gloomy and restless. In all the years of being Nick’s chauffeur, this was the first time seeing him in such a sorry state. He hadn’t slept a wink, but then again that was the norm for him. This factor cleared out that sleep wasn’t the least of the cause. The mental tussle raging through his consciousness was far more turbulent than any drug induced madness. “Norcity reserve. The one at the east park”His monotone voice was habitually dark and void of emotions but today it had a tint of resentment lurking underneath it’s indifferent volume. The car was already in motion and the road was free. Making the ride a breeze by the feet. Nicklaus lifeless eyes stared out the window blankly. There wasn’t a soul outside and somehow that reminded him of his insides. Spacious yet empty, if anything should be found then it’ll be a thorn. In that moment a bitter smile tugged hi

The shock on Bella’s face knew no bounds, she just stood in the background watching the men free the mother and son duo. Yes, free!They were strapped together like a bag of barley and placed in a ceiling compartment. The plank of wood that fell was as a result of their struggling. There were no words to describe Bella’s reaction when she saw a tiny leg dangling from the wooden ceiling. Now here they were after a successful rescue. Both were seated in a sofa while the men undid the ropes strapped around their hands and body. The scene was somewhat heart wrenching. Watching the little boy cleave to his mother as though everyone before them were monsters but in actuality they weren’t here to throw a party, so...The woman in question looked healthy even though she was on the skinny side but the dark circles around her eyes seemed to give her away. The stress she’s been under was evidently visible. Indeed it wasn’t easy being a supportive wife but being a mother is much harder. The bo

Arya’s POV My head was spinning and it wasn’t because I was dizzy, the whole show was giving me a headache. Earlier when he said his entire family would be eliminated I was shocked but I didn’t really believe until now! He was right, I didn’t know much about the father of my child and that was truly crazy. Next I knew my frame was yanked closer to him while he held my wrist so tight as if fearing I would run away. My brows were wrinkled at his actions and before I got a chance to express my displeasure he spoke with a voice dipped in agitation.“The call is on speaker and Arya’s here. Are you really going to say no? All I’m asking is that you spare my wife and son! You can kill me and that’s alright-”“No, I won’t let that happen, there must be another way to punish someone. Death isn’t the answer” My words seemed to chill the atmosphere even more. Even the very air I was breathing reeked of awkwardness. As if things weren’t bad enough the man broke into a humorless laughing fit

Arya’s POV The sight staring me through the windshield was stunning, so many cars parked in the field with their flash lights blurring my vision. The shimmering rays illuminated the gloomy atmosphere. These days nights were longer than days and the moment my feet touched the rocky grounds I heard the clicking sound of guns. I couldn’t count how many men were aiming rifles at us. It was hard to see with the blinding lights but amidst the fog I noticed a figure sprinting towards me, it was getting closer by the second and faster than my brain could comprehend I was thrown into a bone crushing hug. My whole being tensed as a familiar scent wafted through my nostrils. Nicklaus had me crushed under his weights. For strange reasons my hands didn’t raise to reciprocate this gesture. I just stood as stiff as a mannequin letting him bury his head deep into my hair. That moment of silence was fleeting because next I heard the sound of a muffled voice. The hands of the clock started moving a

Arya’s POV The confusion in my eyes knew no bounds as I stared at Bella but then a figure past by. It was Klaus, I caught a glimpse of him and understood the situation. “Arya, I’m so glad you’re okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”The second her voice reached my ears I realized I wasn’t the only one crying, the hoarseness in it gave her away and this caused my tears to stream down hastily. I couldn’t speak because my words were stuck somewhere in my throat. I only nodded and fell back into her embrace. My body quivered from crying my eyes out.“I’m glad you’re okay” I heard this with a pat on my back, the gentle movement caused an eruption within me. I wanted to blame it on the hormones but that’s a bloody lie. This was all me! I was bawling like a three year old abandoned by his mother. Everything that’s happened and everything I had to do was just too much for me. The overwhelming feeling made me weak in the knees. Who knew running away was this hard? A part of me tied Nicklaus reac

Arya’s POV A mother should know her daughter just as a daughter should know her mother. And I knew mine.‘Oh, she’s really mad. She only calls me young lady when she’s mad upset!’“Good morning Melissa” Bella tried to alleviate the weird tension but my mom was a master at keeping things rolling. She turned and smiled warmly at Bella, responding to her greeting and then fixed her gaze back on me with a stern look. I shot Bella a glance and she left then I went in, closely following behind like a prisoner headed for trial. “After my dinner I had a sleepover at Emily’s new apartment. We drank so I forgot to text. Sorry”As we walked I straight up stated the lies I had cooked and Melissa suddenly halted at the center of the living room. “Were you with Nicklaus or Lucious?”My mood took a bigger nosedive, I wasn’t expecting such a question so the shock on my face was noticeable. It seems we were gonna have that long awaited conversation now but I wasn’t mentally ready for that. I’m s

The gloominess hovering over Nicklaus was like a gathering rain storm. It had its breaking point but it wasn’t just yet. The conversation with Arya played out in his memories like a tape on repeat with a visual image of the look in her eyes. Those stares haunted his dreams and he doesn’t even sleep! How then was that possible?He thought he had no fear, like hell he always pride himself in his fearlessness but right now he couldn’t recognize this sudden emotion. He feared greatly! He dreaded the reality of being looked upon by her with such hateful eyes. It didn’t matter when others called him a monster, their words didn’t hold water in his ears but now this was different. His heart was in pains and he couldn’t explain the feeling but it felt terrible. A feeling where your insides were twisting and ripping apart. To make things worse the so called heartbeat would miss a rhythm every now and then. Nicklaus sat behind his oak desk, his monotonous office seemed to be doing its best

Night came quickly thanks to the problematic atmosphere. Klaus just sat in the parking lot. His hands on the wheels but he couldn’t find the strength to start the engines.If we’re being honest, it wasn’t that he lacked strength but that he had no destination. Home doesn’t feel like home anymore. In the past he never cared about intimacy, just work and partying. If he needed to function then he’d get a woman for the pleasures but everything’s changed now.After experiencing the joy of returning home from work and being in the arms of the woman he loves, how can he go back to living like it never happened?

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
