Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 146: I promise
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? Now the saying ‘home is where your love ones are’ made absolute sense to him. All he wanted to do was drive to Bella’s apartment, scratch that. All he wanted to do was bring her back to his place!But it wasn’t about what he wanted because at the end of the day love can’t be forced. If she kept on rejecting him then he’ll have no choice but to accept the rejection. Klaus just sa

Arya’s POV My body rolled out of the sheets to bask in the intruding sunlight. I know it sounded like I had a goodnights rest but I didn’t which is insane because after everything I went through in the hands of those cold concrete floors you’d think last night would’ve been divine, sleeping all nice and comfy. Well at least it should’ve been, except for the troubling thought brazenly roaming my mind and depriving me of sleep in the process. The fiasco with starlight entertainment didn’t leave my mind, not even for a second and although I know meeting Nicklaus is the only way to solve this, I’m hesitant and I have valid reasons to be! The numerous messages Nicklaus left me were starting to seem like death notes, if I show up in his face there’s a high chance he might do something ludicrous!Still, I don’t really have a choice, I can’t help but feel the crisis starlight’s in was somehow my fault. But isn’t Nicklaus too imposing? He already beat Lucious up, wasn’t that enough? Was th

Arya’s POV He traced my steps back with his feet. Yeah, that right! Nicklaus was closing in on me like a Lion cautiously waiting for the perfect moment to strike. How did things get so sexual over a rejected gift? Nicklaus was really a pro, when he wanted someThe pressure I thought has subsided rose up in my heart. His reckless words stirred trouble in my depths and before I could speak he added.thing he knew how to maneuver his way around. And when he’s at it, even the purist of conversations become lustful just like his eyes now. His pupils were darker than normal, maybe it’s because they were housing a tank filled with unhinged and uncensored intentions. I placed a hand on his chest to stop him but that was my biggest mistake because he grabbed my hand and pulled me forward, the remaining gap between us faded into our bodies and I was now smeared in his embrace. “Nicklaus, what’re you doing?”My voice was edgy because his hands were already brazenly roaming my clothes like

Somewhere in the shadows of the night a familiar figure walked out of a rundown internet services shop. The intentions of the person was unknown but in the eyes laid doubt and uncertainty, the kind that appears after a dreaded mistake but such mistakes can’t be reserved because it’s already seeped deep into the heart of the internet and it’s just as they say ‘the internet never forgets’. *****What words could explain such relaxation Arya felt? Last night she slept like a baby with zero worries, little did she know that was her body’s way of preparing for the storm ahead and this time the storm didn’t give warnings! It just arrived with a banging knock on her door!The confusion in her face was etching, why was her mom so edgy she wondered. What could possibly be the problem? She mentally motion as she approached the door still feeling all groggy. Who’s gonna tell her?!Maybe if she knew what’s ahead she might’ve ignored the door and stay in her room oblivious to what awaits. Some

The minute of silence spoke volumes in Arya’s head, she was not new to Nicklaus Imposing attitude but experiencing it with her mom was another level of anger.Before them aligned a fleet of cars deliberately blocking their path. The flight senses of the driver must’ve kicked in because he tried to drive backwards but he was stunned to find out it was blocked as well. On the hand Arya wasn’t surprised, not even in the slightest. She watched as their doors flew open and suited men did a polite bow. Even if Arya was blind she’d be able to see the shock-stricken expression on the driver’s face. He’s probably thinking she’s royalty or something. Of course Melissa wasn’t left out in the frozen game. She looked too perplexed to utter a word at least not until a soft knock sounded on the window. Feeling extremely emotionally drained Arya eventually pushed the button that pulled down the window. “Madam, please come with us, Mr Harrington already prepared everything for you and your mother

The chirpy voice of a parrot sang and what used to be a source of amusement for Juliet now sounded like a tone of mockery.“Come to my office now”Not a second later her assistant walked in. “Yes boss”.“Take that bird and kill it”That short sentence held enough power to mortify the assistance. Her eyes moved towards the Hyacinth Macaw which is now priced around forty thousand dollars. And she wanted it dead?“What’re are you standing there for? Take it out of my sight and do your money’s worth. You’re paid to obey my instructions, are you not?”“Yes boss”The assistant found her legs and moved the bird cage out of the office. The door shut and Juliet felt more aggrieved about the silence. Her hands pulled open her drawer and she took out a card. A sinister smile tugged her sharp red lips.“So what if you caught my hunting dog? After all there’s more than one way to kill a rat”.She dialed the digits and Anna’s meek voice sounded over the phone. “Hello, please who is this?”“I

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
