Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 169: I remember
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

Bella’s POV Our meet up location wasn’t too elaborate but I refrained from picking a restaurant that we visited in the past. For obvious reasons I didn’t want to worsen my mental health. I thought I arrived early but Emily was already seated so I took my sit with heaviness. The corner we chose was closest to the window and I found Emily staring through the glass like a wounded lion vying to penetrate the mind of a human. “Uhm mm” I cleared my throat to grab her attention and it worked. Immediately her eyes rested on me a broad smile formed on her lips but it seemed foreign in comparison to her previous joyful smiles. Her unparalleled joviality was no where to be seen. The look in her eyes was just a hollow vague cast of her past self.There was an awkward silence in the air, none of us could ask the other how we were doing because these past few months have been a hell of a ride for us.“Have you ordered anything?” I tried to mange the situation. “Not yet, I really don’t wanna e

Bella’s POV I still remember the exquisite design of the card in my possession that night. It made me curious to know what was inside but my curiosity level wasn’t that intense to peel it open in his presence so I waited till I was alone. Amiee was awake when I got in, she noticed my drunken state and offered me a glass of water before continuing playing on her iPad. Of course I received the glass in good faith, my throat was sore and dry from weeping. After which I made my way to the bedroom to freshen up.The card on my bed shelve caught my attention before I got the chance to turn off my bedside lamp. I picked it up and glanced at Amiee’s peaceful sleeping figure. The image of Arya sleeping in that position keeps flashing in my vision, having a saddening effect but I was powerless against it. I cried so much earlier that I had no strength left to fulfill my depressed mood at the moment.Eventually I looked away and opened the invitation. I was instantly stunned at its content. Wa

Bella’s POV The ride to the party began and I was still mentally conflicted. I thought making the decision was the hard part but it turns out taking action is even worse. Klaus had a driver pick me up and I was pleased he didn’t come himself. To be honest I wanted nothing more than to turn the car around and head back home but I can’t, my pride won’t let me. After the conversation I had with Amiee, how could I shamelessly return in defeat?I sucked the uneasiness and squeezed my palm for support, hopefully tonight turns out okay otherwise...I might never show my face in public ever again!“We’re here, should I take the back entrance?”I looked out the window for a while and watched the chattering scenes of some elite personalities in the city before answering.“Hmm, let’s take the back”He drove in that direction and I had my pinky hovering over Klaus number.should I call him or not? In the end I didn’t and got down carefully. My fishtail dress forced me to maintain a poise t

Bella’s POV What in the mother freaking world is he talking about? I was staring at Klaus in shock and utter disbelief, he didn’t have an ounce of jest in his tone and that alone rang trouble in our midst. Klaus mom looked as if she’s seen a ghost while his dad had a deep scowl on his features. “Klaus Cavil Denford! What has gotten into you?!Her voice couldn’t avoid climbing pitches and for a second she forgot about their surroundings. Her sudden outburst drew a lot of eyes to our direction but Klaus stayed silent. I couldn’t decipher what was going through his head. Was he planning on angering his parents to death?!He was an only child so of course his words were more than just provocations. It was an open threat! Mr Denford strikes me as a man of few words, must be where Klaus got the bulk of his character.For facts I didn’t even know Klaus had a second name! The air was filled with tension and I was caught in the middle. To think this was happening because of me was rather

Bella’s POV It couldn’t be said that Klaus question was an out of pocket shit but I was still gravely shocked at the anticipation in his eyes. At the very least I thought he’d wait till we were seated but I guess not. His full attention was on me and I was trying hard to appear calm while my mind was a complete mess. Giving the situation if I tell Klaus the truth about how I met Louis, what would happen then? The outcome would certainly be disastrous but lying is just as fatal. I was conflicted! My mind was stuck in two worlds and it wasn’t until the car horned that I snapped back to reality. Klaus still had his eyes fixed on me and he raised his hand to signal the driver. His gesture was clear, he wanted an answer before we entered. I bit the insides of my cheek and took a gamble.“Well, that night at the bar I didn’t recognize him but he later explained that we met in X city. That was when I remembered”I finished speaking but he still had his eyes glued on me, the suspicion in

Bella’s POV The impact sent a shudder through me and even though I earnestly thought against it I still found myself reciprocating his hot vicious kisses. The human body was really a scary system, in this very moment all thoughts of resisting died as his fervent plunging sucked my lips whole. My body was awoke within breaths and nothing else seem to matter, like hell! Time itself froze! All I heard was the truth of my heart as I let him tempt me to an almost irredeemable state. In the spur of the moment my hands had moved to wrap his neck while both of his hands firmly circled my waist. This warm enclosure brought me a great deal of security and I couldn’t deny it threw me into a momentary daze. One which I wanted to tarry longer in but I couldn’t because even as I carried out this scandalous act I’m reminded of all the troubles that comes with it. In the next moment I broke the kiss, slowly but steadily I pushed a hand between our chest and his hold on my waist loosened, now all

Arya’s POV “Close your eyes sweetie pie... sleep in my embrace, away, away from the troubling world, I’ll always be by your side”“Now sleep” I said in exasperation, this little one didn’t take yield to my soothing lullaby. His bright blue eyes kept staring at me with joyous expectations. It had the power to mesmerize my soul but I had to overlook his charms and keep on stroking the rocking bed to my rhythms. ‘Please go to bed, mama has an appointment to catch up with’ a soft sigh freely left my lips, I can just be honest with myself now, my son was pretty stubborn for a month old. Damien insisted on getting a nanny even though I felt it was unnecessary. I mean, it wasn’t like I had twins or something but okay...Eventually I agreed and from the selection process I hired a girl named Jane and she’s been doing a wonderful job only that Aiden wasn’t fond of people. Yes, people! In any case, my scar removal surgery is scheduled today at noon and I’m doing everything I can to put Aid

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’
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 229: Now, choose
“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,
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 227: Just tears
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
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 226: Mother's love
“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
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 225: I want babies
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
