Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 162: Ignorance is bliss
Summer was fading away like the floating of dry leaves that signifies the arrival of autumn. From the distance chattering of branches to the sunny delight of a new day everything warmed Arya’s heart. In a few days she should be welcoming her new born and although she’s over the moon at this thought, she’s also wary of the experience. After all giving birth isn’t an easy sport. But the idea of having midwives around who cater to her needs soothed her heart. Standing with her huge belly by the window she clasped her fingers to make a silent prayer and you could take a guess at her prayers! Of course top on the list was to make sure Nicklaus never gets to find her. Leaving their entanglement with a child aside, there’s a rooted grudge hidden in her heart against him. He too bears the blame for the fire incidence and the last thing she wanted was to get involved with the Harringtons again. Melissa would definitely not want that either.“Don’t your feet hurt from standing? Here, let me

Arya’s POV “Hang in there” I heard with a pat on my cheek before seeing Damien’s figure fade through the door. The empty room finally gave me the courage to raise the quilt shielding my lower body. I glanced at the wet spot on my bed and deduced that my water broke! The thought of this threw me into a frenzy. To be honest I don’t think I’m ready for labor, heck! No one’s ever ready! Still, isn’t this a bit early? I know the estimate isn’t entirely correct but I’m supposed to be due five days from now! I’ve been doing a terrible job preparing myself mentally, now what? In the blink of an eye my room was swamped with preparatory equipments making me feel even more nervous. Two midwives were present and one of them came to verify my status while the other was setting up the scene.“Lie down and rest, I’ll run a check on you” I followed her instructions and my gaze fell on Damien, he was standing by the door looking lost and little confused. Which was expected, he wasn’t a docto

“Push!”“Argh! Huff, huff!”“Try again, try harder. You can do it!”I’m trying, I truly am but I don’t think I can. ‘Should I just give up?“Stop zoning out, get a grip and push otherwise the baby could die of suffocation! Miss, do you hear me?! This won’t do...go get master Damien, it seems we’ll have to transfer her to the hospital for operation!”“Are you sure she’ll make it in time? It’ll be too dangerous to move her in this state!”I could vaguely hear them over my numbness. I couldn’t feel anything, I had no emotion. I was slowly slipping away just like the tears rolling down my cheeks. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to pass away like this. Melissa never wanted the baby anyways and I’d be doing myself a favour by ending my misery. If I close my eyes will everything stop? Will this all come to an end? I know I have no right to deprive my child of this world but isn’t it truly for the best? Will my love alone be enough for my child? I’m all alone in this world, wouldn’t

“Our search was proven futile”The news reached Nicklaus like a slap to the face but he maintained his poise. Nothing of this was new to him, he expected this much when he embarked on a journey to find someone who was declared dead still, it broke him every time he was reminded of the possibility.His only grounds are speculations, nothing else but guts feelings. What if she really is dead and he’s too delusional to accept this? Sometimes this thoughts floods his mind, as much as the optimistic side of him reigns he couldn’t deny the opposite side of the coin still existed! Will he be able to handle it?What if he’s already losing his mind thinking she’s still alive?These intrusive thoughts gets bolder by the day and as he stood against his broad window he clenched his fist to gain control of his raging mind.“Nicklaus”Klaus calling out stole his attention and he turned halfway with a raised brow.“Are you sure it’s a good idea bringing up your mother’s case? The person caught

“Didn’t you get my orders?”Adam’s cold voice spoke at the other end of the phone but Nicklaus was unfazed. “I don’t wish to see you, it is but the last string of bloodline that forces me to take your call”His words caused a shrill laughter to escape Adam’s lips. “Why did you announce the content of your mother’s death without my consent?! This isn’t a simple topic you can make public as you please!”At Nicklaus end of the call there was only darkness in his solemn room, it’s been a while he returned here, his previous nights were spent in his office and it couldn’t be said that his bed missed his presence because he couldn’t find sleep even if he tried!The only times his bed felt his warmth were the days when it was shared with her and that very thought was the beginning of the longing pain he felt while sitting at the edge of the king-sized bed. “Shouldn’t you ask about the killer of your beloved?...” a mocking laugh followed suit as he added “...oh that’s right, I learned y

Bella’s POV “Keep your voice down, it would do no good to wake my sister” My words shot straight ahead without glancing at the man before me. His face, I didn’t want to behold, not even for a second! They all make me sick to my stomach!“How long are you gonna keep avoiding me?-”“Shut up! I don’t want to hear your pleas or excuses. If you didn’t say it was about Arya I wouldn’t have come out so please get to the point!”My voice was shaky as well, just mentioning her name was breaking my vocals. I sniffed a breath to hold back my tears and hardened my gaze.“Go ahead, what is it you have to say?”Even though I tried to act cool my tone still had a desperate longing for hope, is it possible to get some good news?...I thought as I watched on but Klaus expression was hard to read, his head was lowered and that sunk the glimmer of hope floating in my guts. The little light in my eyes dimmed as I heard him say with a slightly lifted head.“Have you been well? You’ve lost a lot of weig

Bella’s POV I followed him out without looking back though I could bet Klaus face would’ve been fun to watch. I just wasn’t in the mood to mess around, the latest news about Arya was still eating me up and I wanted nothing more than to drink till I forget my sorrows. With this thought in mind I made a bow to the man standing by the entrance.“Thank you for your help, I’ll be on my way then”The cold breeze made me shiver but I fought against it. Thanks to Klaus I wore so little, it wasn’t my intention to come all the way here but my legs had other plans. I turned to leave but his words halted my steps.“I feel hurt that you don’t remember me”My attention refocused on him and as expected he was staring at me for a reaction but I had none. He had a peculiar aura and appearance, there was no way I wouldn’t have remembered him if we met in the past, still I couldn’t be rude and asked back.“Do you know me?”I looked a hot mess right now, that’s the least expected after all the earlier

Bella’s POV One by one my steps slowed down by a roadside bench and I took a very difficult sit. The evening breeze kept swirling the dried leaves swamped on the ground but that’s the least expected as I took refuge in the shades of a tree.It’s long branches shielded my wandering heart from dismay. I went out alone and it’s only right I walk back alone, well at least that’s what I’d like to tell myself was the reason for declining his ride offer while in reality I was just too confused and embarrassed to accept his offer. His voice still replayed in my brain like a wireless tape. ‘Curiosity does kill the cat’ That awkwardness would’ve been avoided if I wasn’t so interested in finding out his relationship with me. I feel stupid for insisting, now I know and it’s only making me question my choices in life so far. I remained seated on the bench as I replayed the entire conversation in my head. “How’d you know me? Tell me and I’ll try to remember” He didn’t seem hesitant at al

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
