Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter seventy six: Tequila shots
Arya’s POV With winter slowly creeping in, the atmosphere was chilly with cold breeze gently sweeping through but I didn’t care. Being as stubborn as a bull I was adamant on wearing the strap dress which gave little to no protection against the weather. My palms moved to caress my elbows while my back slumped further into the back seat of the cab, the windows were locked but the cold somehow sipped through. I remember turning down Lucious offer to drive me there and I could only blame myself for getting stuck in traffic. “Ding!” My phone popped a message. It was from Emily. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I read her text. “Arya, where’re you? Don’t even think of bailing”.Wow, my party reputation must be so bad in Emily’s eyes, then again I couldn’t blame her, I turned down more invites than I could count, still I was determined to keep face.“What’d you take me for? I’m stuck in traffic” I texted back and it didn’t take a second later to get her reply “sorry mama, traffic

Arya’s POVThe world was spinning? Or was I just losing my footing? It was hard to tell as Nicklaus death grip on my wrist pulled me through the crowd, he didn’t stop even when we got out. He reached his car and my eyes shot open. “I’m not going anywhere with you!” I barked lowered my head and bit his hand like a dog. I didn’t care, it was the only effective way I knew to break fee and it proved itself useful. My hand quickly wrapped around my wrist, it was glowing red already. Surely, he deserved that bite and more to be honest cause it’s totally illogical to beat up a complete stranger. Is he a thug? Just because he’s rich he can get away with anything?‘Well, technically he’s stinkingly rich, so...’ I mentally corrected before shooting a death glare to the man flaring his nostrils at me. Does he even have the right to be mad? For f*ck sake! He’s the one who’s way outta line. I knew it, I was right. Nicklaus sure has the potential to go crazy and he was slowly starting to reveal

The simple question turned to a thorn in her flesh. A lump stuck in her throat, seeming like time itself stopped. She couldn’t voice out the answer tugging her chest. Was this question a test? Did he know what he had done?Why would he ask her such? Especially at a time like this.The fact that she actually trusted him made it all annoying. Blindly following love is a crime. No matter what others said, it is. What’s she? The goddess of endurance? Did she learn the art of endurance in China?Her eyes remained emotionless, there was no point replying, either answer would pose a fool of her. Nicklaus seemed to catch on her hesitation and didn’t press further. He locked her hands and headed straight for the bathroom. Arya stared down at her cold feet, the sides colored red from the pressure of the heels. She couldn’t help but admire the back view of the man she’s trying hard to hate. He entered the cubicle, tested and regulated the water temperature then left it running. “Get i

Immediately the car halted, the door slam shut. Bella bolted out and as you’ve guessed Klaus followed behind. Luckily the open space was secluded and open at the same time. It was near the beach so the sounds of trees wailing at the breeze seemed to soothe Bella’s throbbing heart a bit. “Am I asking for too much?” She turned to face the man trailing behind her. She didn’t care that her legs could barely hold her. When else can she have such conversations? If not for the influence of alcohol all her rage would’ve remained bottled in. “Yes” he breathed and her eyes flashed a series of sadness while her hands moved to tuck her hair in frustration. “I can’t even have my freedom” she scoffed as her red eyes seemed to have reddened. “Am I destined to be trapped like a rat in a cage?” She added with a sniff. “I can’t let you go, Bella. So please let’s work this out”His words seemed to fall on deaf ears as Bella kept grinning like a goof. Each stretch of her lips held a sad ending. B

Amidst the deafening music Alex ears seemed sharp enough to listen intently to the conversation between Emily and someone he’d best describe as a parasite. He took just a shot and was very much in control of himself but same couldn’t be said for the drowsy woman rambling on about. “So what’re you celebrating?” The ‘parasite’ asked Emily who couldn’t help smiling sheepishly at her thoughts. “Its a secret” she teasingly breathed while Alex helplessly rolled his eyes, unable to fathom what the hell kept him here? The man in question seemed more intrigued by her mysterious answer and took the opportunity to get closer. An act that didn’t go unnoticed by Alex. He found himself getting impatient which was strange and on impulse he voiced “another shot”.A shot was placed before him and as he reached for the little cup someone else beat him to it. A manicured finger slipped past and picked up the glass. In the blink of an eye the content was emptied down her throat. Alex followed the t
Last Updated : 2024-03-07Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter eighty one: Oh my! Is he gay?
The morning light creeping in wasn’t the cause of Arya’s awakening. She was being spooned by Nicklaus and thankfully had her back to him. Breathing feels hard when you’re trying your best to fake a sleep. But here she was again, this time it was different. She couldn’t bear to face him, after everything she said how hilarious was it to turn her back and make advances? The shame alone was enough to petrify her frame and it wasn’t like she could tell him this was her last night with him. This morning was truly blessed because next Nicklaus phone rang and after what seemed to have been a troubling call he dashed out but not before tucking the quilt and snuggling her into it. Sure of his absence she opened her eyes, staring at nothing but the ruffling curtains. She couldn’t decide if she was sore all over or just tired. Against her better judgement she stood and to her surprise it was both. Sluggishly she moved to the showers and helped her appearance to the best of her abilities.

Instead of getting off like a normal person, Emily rolled over causing a grunt to escape Alex lips as he tried to sit up.“You’re a bull in a China shop” he vented through stared daggers while the person in question didn’t seem bothered as she stood to her full length and kept darting her gaze as if searching for something.“Why don’t you just call me clumsy? Using all these grammar to flaunt? Yes, I know you’re extremely intelligent” she shrugged with nonchalance, one that caused annoyance to sprout in his belly and he couldn’t help gritting out“It’s just an idiom”“Yea, whatever you say professor” Emily teased and even displayed a slight bow to match her statement. As though watching an uninteresting play by a kid, Alex got up and didn’t even spare her a glance he just kept walking. “Wait” Emily hollered pausing his strides as she walked up to him. “I can’t find my purse. My credit card, phone and stuffs are in there” she breathed with a disturbed expression but someone failed

His question reigned turmoil in Bella’s heart and as if that wasn’t enough she couldn’t peel her eyes away from his. The lingering desperation and anticipation in them were pressuring. Having enough power to make her disregard her defense.Only God knows how long they held that stare and then Klaus finally broke the ice.“Regardless of your answer my feelings for you won’t change”.She blinked away and took a sigh. “What makes you so sure of your feelings for me Klaus? Our relationship wasn’t built on such, so please let’s keep it that way”With that she tried to release her grip but it would’ve been better if she stayed still because he took the opportunity to turn her struggles into a pulling wedge and yielded her forward. Close enough to count her lashes.“So you do love me” Klaus said as a matter of fact and Bella couldn’t help getting troubled. It felt like he could see right through her. “I never said that” she retorted but he only gave a satisfied smirk. “Oh, but you didn’t s

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
