Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 100: F*ck off!
Arya’s POV Did I say he had no expression? Scratch that because he had on the entire grim ripper’s armory. Luckily my phone was in my hands elsewise it would’ve been left behind. My earlier excitements were gone in seconds and all that’s left is my dreaded reality. All my problems embedded in one man. ‘Nicklaus’Sometimes I wonder, why’d he have to get me at the auction? When I watched the video in the USB he looked very absent then suddenly before the auctioneer could close the bid he announced his. Why?I’m sure my life wouldn’t have gotten this complicated, right? It would’ve just been a one night stand with another man and not some outrageous marriage contract. I guess there’s no point in regretting when the hands of time can’t be reversed. I’m forced to disgust the bitter pill of my misfortune. ‘How pathetic’I stared at the back of Nicklaus head emotionless while he sprinted for his parked Aston Martin. When did things go south for me? Falling in love with a man I shouldn’t

Arya’s POV The car came to an absolute halt and while I watched Nicklaus circle the car to get my door I could only take a sigh in preparation for my incoming acting spree. My door flew open and I reluctantly stepped out standing looking up to Nicklaus with my hands folded across my chest. Even with the windbreaker giving me an artificial muscle-build still, I found it somehow comforting to feel powerful especially when faced with such an opponent.“Whatever you have to say, say it here. I’m not going inside with you” My stance was perfectly flexing my rebellion but Nicklaus wasn’t given away any emotion. He looked particularly calm and collected and may I just say, Nicklaus being calm rings a bell of chaos in me. My gaze couldn’t help twitching ‘what’s he up to now?’As expected my words fell on deaf ears as he gripped my hand and forced me into the house. His actions made me realize that they’ve never been a moment of peace with Nicklaus, he was only ever brutal and overbearin
Last Updated : 2024-03-25Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 102: You can’t escape me
Arya’s POV The second his voice landed on my ears I suddenly became aware of our position. His left hand holding my right wrist was still very much active and on duty while his right hand wholesomely wrapped my waist under the windbreaker. This skims dress wasn’t of much help because I could feel his fingers on my skin with ease, it was like I was bare underneath the windcheater. Even after speaking into my ears he refused to retreat, leaving his head on my neck as if that was it’s new found habitant. I thought I’d had enough but little did I know his craziness was only getting started. “Nicklaus get off me-”“Shush” he cut me off with a whisper and for a second I thought it was for a reasonable course but some people are just lowlifes! The minute I realized what he was up to my eyes widened in disbelief while my lips twitched uncontrollably. How can someone be so devious?!I felt his slow movement and fell into chaos mode. Was it my waist that was too slim? Or Nicklaus arms wer

Arya’s POV ‘What did he think this was? A soap opera? Am I suppose to nod in compliance to his ridiculous response? I felt frustrated, trapped under his hold and powerless. Is this what I’ve become? My inside was snowballing with rage but I’m defenseless. Maybe’s it’s the overwhelming mental stress or maybe it’s the hormones, but something definitely made my eyes water. The shock in Nicklaus face was undisguised, even I couldn’t believe myself. I was crying like a baby, bawling my eyes out without a care in the world.Out of all the strategies to escape Nicklaus, who would’ve imagined crying to be the solution? He let go of my chin and hands and I had more access to cover my face still visibly shaking from uncontrollable sobs. Even without raising my head, I could feel the chills emanating from him. He just stood there emotionlessly accessing my attitude. I really didn’t want to whimper and bawl my eyes out in front of him but it was out of my control, I suddenly felt so emotion
Last Updated : 2024-03-26Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 104: I’m pregnant
Arya’s POV Once again, I’m reminded why I’m not a fan of rainy days. The cleansing water gives a vague view of the havoc recked underneath. But for those that experienced it first hand, could it ever be forgotten? What it means to hang on to a last thread of hope? What it means to beg for life itself?What it means to wish reality was a dream!Most people wish to turn their dreams into reality but there’s a dreaded time when you’d give anything to turn your reality into a dream. It’s in that moment you envy the dreamland. At least one gets to wake up, forgetting it ever existed in your memories, at least one gets to leave it behind as a wishlist but what happens when it’s a nightmare? And that nightmare doesn’t have a wake up button, even if you pinch yourself it stays, staring you straight in the face. It’s cruel and ruthless. It doesn’t care if your strong enough to accept its sudden presence, it just shows up and expects you to understand!Here I stand in front of the glass
Last Updated : 2024-03-26Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 105: You’re my wife!
Arya’s POV I’m no doctor but I know being this emotionally unstable wasn’t good for the fetus. It took everything in me to hang up without uttering a word, there wasn’t much to say anyways. I’d suspected Anna that night at Corosale’s collection’s launching event but seeing how low she stooped made me ashamed of the thought that we’re related and to think it was all for naught because there’s nothing going on between Lucious and I.Still, it wasn’t strange why my mom reacted that way and even if I chose to blame Anna, was it really her fault?Maybe it’s my fault, when I told her about Nicklaus and Lucious I knew she had no idea how powerful the Harrington’s family actually was, otherwise she wouldn’t have stayed calm. It’s only normal for her to get agitated or worse scared. The Harringtons top the food chain of the social elites’ society and their reputation? Well...let’s just say there’re mostly known for their brutal and ruthless nature which they indeed uphold with dignity. The
Last Updated : 2024-03-27Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 106: Explore me, I’m all yours
Arya’s POV At first there was striking silence that caused my eyes to lose their last glimmer of light. It was impossible to keep away the question. ‘What was I expecting?’Suddenly the corners of my ears perked as I overheard Nicklaus utter.“Love”My head turned on their own accord making me face his dead-ass serious expression. All thoughts aside, this man was really scary. A person capable of telling you he loves you and then going behind that same night to utter such heartbreaking words was once again using that word ‘love’. It felt absurd and it just doesn’t suit him. The all mighty Nicklaus falling in love? Nah, that doesn’t have a ring to it. Emotionless and indifference fits him perfectly. My mental tribunal mistakenly led me into scoffing. It wasn’t my intention to mock his confession but sadly that’s how it sounded. “Nicklaus no offense but I would’ve had a better chance believing you if you had said what you feel for me is ‘possession’ or even ‘pity’ but, love? We b

Arya’s POV What manner or shamelessness is this? His right hand supporting the back of my head destroyed my escape plan and my hand that rose to punch him in protest was disarmed by his other hand. My weak figure was surrendered to his harsh kisses. They were like striking lightening with only one goal and that’s to suck me dry. The kiss was choking but he didn’t give a damn. It was obviously a brute punishment for my previous words, one that he took pleasure in exerting on me. Finally I was freed from the sorry excuse of a kiss. The aftermath was an eyesore, my hair was a mess, my cheeks were flushed red. My breathing came out ragged making me look more helpless but Nicklaus seemed fine, as a matter of fact he had a victorious smirk planted on his lips. Does seeing me look so flustered make him feel powerful? Does it stroke his petty ego?My glaring dagger eyes were focused on him. Such a lowlife! “I assure you won’t get such pleasurable satisfaction from another man so no n

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
Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter 224: Hello, beautiful
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
