Auctioned to a mafia boss Chapter sixty eight: I’m his fiancée
The dark room in Harrington’s mansion sounded with a chill voice over the phone.“Get her at all cost!” Juliet’s voice stirred trouble in the heart of the caller. “But-” he tried to say but his words were cut abrupt.“Do I need to remind you what awaits if you defile my orders? Your wife and child would be as good as dead by sunrise. Remember, you no longer have the protection of Harrington clan, so do as you’re told”Her words halted his complaints “Okay...ma’am” he forcefully affirmed and the call was disconnected.‘Veronica, that good for nothing, can’t do anything right’ this thought caused Juliet to slowly press her nape in frustration. “If you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Enough time have been wasted already, I can’t delay this any longer” she breathed to no one seeing as was alone in the balcony that shimmered from the full moon reflection. *****Morning came quickly as Bella’s eyes fluttered open but instead of an empty space she found dark br

Arya’s POV The jittery feeling in my belly is really starting to irk me, if anything I should be scared for my life not anticipating my evening with Nicklaus. It was noon already and I couldn’t help but curse at the time. Why was it moving so goddamn fast?! Then again, it’s my fault that I overslept and I’m now stuck battling hangovers. I lazily moved my body to the shower and did justice to my appearance. After which I dragged my legs to my kitchen counter and took a box of cereal. A sigh quickly escaped my lips as I made a mental note ‘I really need to cook something’.I pulled open the fridge door and voila my eyes widened in wonder. How dumb of me to forget my mom brought stacks of foods. “Mom you’re the best!” I squealed in excitement as I brought out a pot and emptied one of the containers while humming a tone as I watched it boil. Not long after I was chumming down an exotic dish, I tossed my spoon and slumped back on my kitchen elevated chair. ‘Men that was good’.Tasti

“I love you” Remained plastered on the sky and Nicklaus reached out for an exquisite box where he drew out a limited edition thirty six carats diamond and took a walk behind her. Gently hooking the necklace around her bare neck but instead of retreating he prolonged his stay at her back with his hands holding on her thin shoulders. Her dress was off shoulder so his grip on her bare skin stung a sensitive nerve. The cool breeze wasn’t helping reduce the shivery feeling soaring through her being. As though reading the situation he took off his suit coat and draped it over her frame. The warmth from the lustre of silk and comfort of cotton did more than enough in mildly calming her temperature. The sound of a dangling key baffled Arya but it didn’t seem to be a car key and this puzzled her even more but she didn’t press on it until he spilled the beans. His words slightly angered her but she didn’t get a chance to react as he turned her over and fiercely seized her lips completely

Bella’s POV The embarrassment was too much to bear so I made my way to the only place that best releases my anxiety. Walking out on the people in the living room. It just doesn’t make sense, why do men do this? So he had a fiancée the whole time?My legs moved faster than my mind for the sake of my heart as I pushed open the music room door but immediately the door shut behind me I couldn’t find the strength to keeping walking. My back stayed plastered as I slowly slumped until my butt touched the ground and my hands wrapped around me knee protectively.It felt too good to be true, I knew such happiness wasn’t made for someone like me, yet I thought I could dream a little. Why was love always this cruel to me? My sobbing eyes had grown swollen by now but it didn’t matter, I let myself wallow in self pity, seeing as it’s the least I can offer myself right now. ‘All men are the same!’ I usually said this line as an excuse to protect my fragile heart because I wasn’t sure if it cou

Arya’s POV A little stir of the yacht jolted my eyes open. ‘Seems it’s back to shore’ I mentally concluded as my eyes trailed down my naked frame causing me to remember how I lost woefully to Nicklaus. This only made me grit my teeth in annoyance as I reached for my phone to glance at the time. I genuinely felt shocked to see it reflected 2am. Just then, I realized the space next to me was empty. Where could he be? The washroom? My helpless mind couldn’t help wondering but I didn’t think much into it and shut my eyes close in hopes of drifting back to sleep but they peeled open thirty minutes later, still, Nicklaus wasn’t in bed and there wasn’t a sign that he had returned. This kinda got me worried as I moved toward the wardrobe and wore a gown.The chilly breeze cause me to fold my arms as I slowly but carefully made my way through the yacht. First I knocked on the bathroom doors but no response, then I checked back at the pool section and still no sign of him. And then it hit me,

“This punk dares to ignore my calls!” Adam’s roaring voice echoed in his study while Juliet approached his table with a tablet and a glass of water.“Try not to get work up, it’s not good for your health” she lectured as he threw the tablet into his mouth and gulped down some water. “Hmm! Where’s Nicklaus at the moment. Tell him to get his ass right here now!” Adam completely disregarded Juliet’s words and kept on his pitch with his assistance who took a deep bow and went out to make some calls. A short while later he walked back in to announce.“Sir Nicklaus is on a yacht with...”“With that stupid mistress of his, she’s the cause of this mess and the reason why he refused to pick my calls?!” Adam’s chest heaved from his unsteady breathing while Juliet took position behind him to help massage his nape while running it to his shoulders. But what no one knew was that underneath her grandiosity a thick layer of hidden schemes thrived and her ears remained alert to pick any relevant

The hatred in Nick’s guts only intensified. The day he woke up from his coma marked the dawn of a new him, one that knew no emotion, a fertile ground for Adam to sow ruthlessness. Most of all the guilt he felt constantly was strong enough to bury him alive. He didn’t have a purpose for living so he went ahead with whatever brutal and inhumane task Adam required of him, at the very least he felt like he deserved to go through that hell. That’s what living was for Nick. A sinkhole with no escape, just darkness lurking at every corner. His mother’s body was barely cold in the ground when Adam brought Juliet home, something about her triggered an ominous feeling and it wasn’t because all stepmoms are seen in that light. To make matters worse she brought home a son, just a year younger than him. The ugly truth that Adam was having an affair all the while he was with his mother was staring him straight in the face yet he couldn’t do anything. Like hell! He couldn’t even remember how th

Arya’s POV I knew it wasn’t appropriate to follow Lucious to his mansion but life hasn’t been giving me better options of recent. I thought my apartment was the problem but it seemed they could easily fish me out in an hotel. For the love of God I don’t even have an apartment to fall back into and I say this with every ounce of sincerity as I slid open my purse and dangled out a key set. It caused my mind to reflect on Nicklaus words on the yacht. [“I moved your things to another apartment and texted you the address. This is the key. Don’t even think about returning, I’m sure someone else has occupied it by now”]If not for those words I would’ve gone straight to my apartment instead or an hotel. Well, it doesn’t matter now, I know how he truly feels about me. I’ll just do my best to stay out of his face while still trying to keep my last straw of dignity. But my helpless mind couldn’t help wondering,How’d he know I was at an hotel? My stupid question was answered quickly, of co

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
