Nina is wasted. She could hardly stand on her own. "If you ever dared to even look at my wife the wrong way, you are going to regret it" Theo fumed and pushed the man away. Nina is swaying on her feet unsteadily. Theo walked towards her and lifted her in his arms with a displeased frown. "You, let me go" Nina demanded and pointed her finger which is intended to poke at Theo, but she poked everywhere around him but not him. "You are wasted. How much did you drink?" he muttered with a frown. Nina giggled at his question. "I drank this many" she showed how much by moving both her palms as far as she could. Theo gritted his teeth. "I can see that. May I know why?" he asked sarcastically. Nina giggled again. "We are celebrating her victory" Ella supplied helpfully. Theo's frown deepened. 'Are they talking about me? Is she considering a victory not to contact me for a whole week?' he suspected. "What kind of Victory miss?" Jeremiah asked curiously. Ella looked
The next morning, Nina woke up with a banging hangover. "Ahh.. why did I drink so much?" she mumbled without opening her eyes. She massaged her head slowly. "Here, drink this. It will feel better" Theo's voice drifted into her ears. Nina's eyes flickered open and landed on Theo's imposing figure. She looked at her surroundings and realised that she is in Pearl garden, the Morrison's family home. "What am I doing here?" she doesn't remember how she ended up there. Belated she noticed that she is wearing his clothes. If she would have woken up to the same situation before a few months ago, then she would have been ecstatic. But now, she is feeling as if her old wounds are reopening again. She looked at him coldly. She remembered bits and pieces of what happened the previous night. She masked her emotions and looked at him coldly. "Thank you for helping me last night, Mr. Morrison, I will get out of your hair now" she spoke with detachment. Theo still is not used to
"What do you mean by hiring a cab?" Theo asked with displeasure when Nina refused to come with him and instead decided to hire a cab. She agreed to come with him in front of his mother. After coming outside, she doesn't want to come with him. He understood that she was still upset by his behaviour when she got into an accident. He knows that he made a mistake. He thought she would revert back to her old self sooner. But as the days tick by, she is only going away from him. "It means that I don't want to travel in one car with you. I prefer taking a cab. If you have time today, we can go and finalize our divorce agreement in the Civil affairs bureau. It's useless to drag a dead relationship. We can hide this from mom untill she recovers. No one except my family and mom knows that I am your wife. So it wouldn't be an issue" she spoke coldly. Just then, her cab came and she left him standing infront of his House, reeling with complex emotions. It was true that he initiated the divor
Nina was rushing towards the meeting room to join the meeting. She is late. Ella insisted on coming on time. But Nina got held up in the traffic. Ella is planning to expand 'The Fragrance' and open their own retail outlets instead of supplying to other retailers. They had this proposal on hold for a while now. But this was held back because they couldn't find any prospective investors. Just that morning Ella called Nina and informed her that they found a new investor. But the new investor insisted on meeting Nina before signing the contract. Nina was in such a rush that she didn't see where she was going. Hastily she rounded a corner and bumped into someone. "Ouch" she hissed when something hot spilled on her dress and scaled her stomach. She looked at the person whom she bumped into and noticed that the coffee he was carrying spilled on his hand which is now turning red. "Shit, I am so sorry" she apologized sincerely. She pulled some wet wipes from her bag and started to cle
"My company gets fifty percent of the profits. As we are investing the money and you are supplying the products, profits will be shared fifty-fifty. Our company is ready to invest two hundred million to establish special retail outlets especially for the perfumes developed by your company. We heard that you are planning to release a new series which would be helpful to fight severe depression, sleeplessness, and ailments like that. So, what do you say?" Mr. Fisher shared his company's proposal.Ella looked at Nina first for her opinion. Nina gave a subtle nod. Except for when he spoke with her, he was very professional and didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Moreover, his proposal will take 'the Fragrance' to the next level and help them to stand neck to neck with several MNC's.Ella grinned and she started to discuss the administration side of the proposal. Nina listened to every point intently. "As we are going global, we decided to change the name of the company a little" Ella pro
In the 'MD perfumes ' "Mr. Dankworth, I heard that 'The Fragrance' is about to expand. They found an investor as well. They are opening more than a hundred retail stores in different countries and are planning to sell their products on their own. This way they will get more exposure and profits. If this continues, our group will never be able to gain recognition again" one of the shareholders of the MD group informed Francis. There were only three shareholders who mostly favour Francis and want to go to any lengths to get what they want. They wanted profits and they didn't like the sudden rise of the Vincent group. Francis is not pleased as well. Theo casually informed him to search for other Performers to hire into their company. He didn't give much explanation as to why he suddenly changed his mind or if he met the new perfumer whom Ella Vincent hired. Francis is a business man, and more experienced than Theo. So he didn't like to say what to do."They already have so many p
Just then, a hush fell over the party. All the eyes were drawn towards the entrance, from where two dazzling women were walking inside with confidence. Nina caught everyone's attention. She is extremely beautiful and holds herself with grace and confidence. Her attitude is right and her demeanor demands respect and attention. She might not be the richest person in that banquet, but she is still rich. She is now a millionaire with her shares and her net income. And she alone earned everything. That itself is giving her confidence to walk inside with her head held high. 'Who is she?' 'She is so hot''Oh my, why haven't I seen her before?' 'Finally someone who can outshine Chelsea Dankworth ' 'She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen' 'I want her' Everyone is watching Nina and Ella. Almost everyone recognised Ella, but Nina is a beautiful mystery.Chelsea heard the silent murmurs of the crowd. She didn't like the attention Nina was receiving. She doesn't know that Nina
That raised Barbara's ire. She raised her hand to slap Nina. But Nina caught Barabar's wrist mid-air. Barbara and Silas are stunned to see this side of Nina. The Nina they know and the Nina standing in front of them is completely different. The old Nina wouldn't have dared to stop Barbara or even raised her voice against her stepmother or step brother. But this Nina is behaving as if she is possessed. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Barbara" Nina said evenly, without looking as if she is losing her composure unlike the others.Silas couldn't take the way Nina is disregarding and disrespecting them in front of everyone. "Nina, don't forget that she is your mother. Is this the way you respect your elders? No wonder Mr. Morrison is divorcing you. Who would want to spend their life with a woman like you?" Silas insulted Nina. He is angry that he is losing face in front of his fiancee and her family. Amber is stunned. She heard that Nina can be easily manipulated and is a door ma
Asher wrapped his arms around his wife who just walked out of the shower. He missed her. The incidents in the recent past took a toll on their relationship. She turned distant as she distanced herself from everyone. "I missed you" he whispered. They were together all this time, and he was not referring to their physical distance. And she understood that. She turned in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I missed you too" she whispered softly. He grinned mischievously. "Then lets not miss anything now. Our parents are too eager to hold their grand children. Why don't we fulfill their wish?" he said and kissed her lips to emphasize his point. Her lips turned wide under his. She is completely on board with his suggestion. "Sounds like a good plan" she mumbled over his lips. That's what he was waiting for. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her to their bed before gently putting her down. He tugged at the binds of her bathrobe that held the two edges together revealing he
In the Smith residence, Stacy prepared a plate filled with food and carried it through a hidden door in Bryan's room. Inside the dimly lit room, Bryan was seen sitting in one corner while looking at the far wall where Aria's pictures are sticked to the wall neatly. "Bryan, now its not as chaotic as it was a month ago. You should go abroad and live a good life" Stacy suggested for the tenth time. Bryan huffed and pulled the food plate out of her hands before throwing it away in anger. "Mom, i already told you time and again. I will go once I kidnap Aria. She will stay where I stay. How hard is it for you to understand that?" he snapped angrily. Stacy bristled. She couldn't help but cry. When the news broke out that the cops have found out about Cynthia's murder, Bryan devised a plan to save his mother and sister. He hit them over their heads making it look like they are victims too. But in reality, it was his plan to fool everyone. Now, the Smith family is safe, but Bryan is ru
The news of Bryan Smith killing innocent people spread like wildfire. The Smith residence was swarmed by reporters within minutes, followed by the cops who surrounded the house. Inside the house, Stacy and Bianca were seen lying on the floor while their own blood was slowly pooling around them. "Mr. Smith, please cooperate with the authorities" the cops announced from outside. As this case got so much attention from everyone, they had difficulty to reach the Smith residence before the media could. They had to wait for the official permission to arrest Bryan. Some how, some one tipped the media off about the case. Now the area around the Smith residence is under the control of the cops who already has a hunch that Brian must have already escaped. When no response or no one came out from inside the house, the cops strangely entered the house from the unlocked front door. What they saw inside made them all stunned. "We need an ambulance. Call for an ambulance" Chaos erupted all ar
In the Smith residence, Bryan is anxious. He couldn't find where Lance is. His friends car was parked outside the abandoned mall, yet there is no sign of Lance anywhere. That is making Bryan anxious. He didn't dare involve the cops in this, as that would lead to many questions that would prove dangerous to Bryan. "Bryan, what should we do now? Where do you think is Lance?" Bianca asked worriedly. Bryan rustled his hair with frustration. "I don't know. Who else knows that you are going there?" Bryan asked, trying to find out where Lance could be. Bianca frowned. She remembered sharing it with her friend. "I told my friend, and thats all. No one else knows that i am meeting Sandro" she replied. Bryan's eyes narrowed. "Sandro knows that you would be coming there. I think he might be behind Lance's dissapperance" Bryan contemplated. Bianca gasped. "Bryan, he is not like that. Sandro is kind" she immediately jumped to defend Sandro. Bryan huffed sarcastically. "Think care
"When Andrew found out that Cynthia is pregnant, he insisted that she should get an abortion. But Cynthia refused. That pissed Andrew. That evening, he came to me with a small bottle, shaking it infront of my face" Susan paused, as if that incident is playing at the back of her mind. Aria was stunned to hear the details which she never got to learn about. She was wishing to find these details from her mother, but she was no where to be found. Now, hearing about the heart breaking events that made Aria an orphan, it hurts. Susan wrapped her hand around Aria's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. Susan is comforting Aria, a scene that made Dena smile. Dena was watching them from inside the house while Susan and Aria were sitting outside in the backyard. Dena gathered that Susan and Aria needed to talk and heal together before they could move forward in life. Few things should be unburdened before they break us into pieces. Aria needed some closure about the early days of her life.
"Enough Bianca" he snapped at her. Bianca stood there frozen in place at the harshness in his tone. She was not expecting it from Bryan. He never raised his hand at her in this way before. But now, the siblings are at odds with each other because for Sandro. "Enough? How is this enough? I should say that to you. It's enough Bryan. You killing anyone and every one who comes in your way is enough. How many people have you killed so far? When will you stop?" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Bryan was taken aback by her outburst. He didn't think that her outburst is not superficial but ran deeper than he expected. "What? You think i am doing this for myself? No, i am doing this for our family. My destruction is your destruction. Was it not you who wanted Aria to become your maid? That's why i did what i did. I told that old Andrew about her whereabouts so that he would marry her off to me. Why did i do all that? It was for you. You came crying to me saying that she insulted you
NEW MAFIA BOOK, HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT. COMING SOON... "Bella, lets go" Aiden, the man whom Bella was hopelessly in love with for the past seven years tugged at her hand, forcing her to start walking. But Bella stood rooted to the spot, eyes fixed on someone who deceived her. Kai Deluca, a handsome devil who looks like her step brother Aiden, but still completely different. He stole her first kiss, her virginity, and her first everything. She gave it all on her own will, mistaking him for her stepbrother. He lied to her, he hid his identity as the most feared mafia boss ever. Aiden is the CEO of a reputed company. He is safe with boy next door looks and most importantly, the man whom Bella used to like. Kai on the other hand is a different story. He is deceivingly handsome, insanely powerful, and outrageously scary. His name alone scares the shit out of even grown men double his size. He is dangerous and the kind of person whom every mother warns their daughters to stay away fr
"Damn" Bianca's friend looked irritated. "Why should she get everything? Why can't I atleast get a man i like?" she was muttering to herself with anger. Just then, she remembered what Bianca just said before she received that text and left. 'My brother is not happy with my relationship with Sandro' Bianca's friend smirked and decided to call Bryan. She immediately found Bryan's number from her contact list and dialed his number. Bryan answered the call on fourth ring. "Hello" he sounded rude and irritated. Bianca's friend hesitated before she decided to go with her plan. "Brother, I am Bianca's friend. She stayed at my place last night. But she just left after she received a text from her boyfriend Sandro. I thought you should know" she said as if she is worried about Bianca. Bryan immediately became stiff. 'What? That punk messaged Bianca? Then why didn't Lance called me yet?' he thought with a frown. "Thank you for letting me know" with that said, he discon
Bryan made it a point to attend Andrew's funeral, even though he made it look like he was at odds with Andrew before his death. But he wanted to convince Diego and Asher that he changed. He can only get rid of their suspicion if they believed that he is no longer the same man from the past. So he made it a point to greet Diego and offer his condolenses. "I am sorry for your loss" Bryan offered. Diego looked at him coldy without saying a word. Bryan simply turned and left with a grim expression. He didn't let his anger show until he was safely inside his car. "Idiot, why was he looking at me like i murdered his father? That old bastard died on his own. I don't have anything to do with it. He doesnt seems to believe me. But no problem. I will make them think that i changed" Byan thought. On the other hand, Bianca was seen in one of her friends house. She is the same girl who was previously intrested in Sandro but Bianca flirted with him instead. This girl is upset with Bianca, but
