In the Morrison's group, Aria was received with mixed reactions from everyone she used to work with after the news about her relationship with Asher started to make waves. A few were too cautious around her. While some of them tried to bend backwards to accommodate her request. A few woman gave her nasty looks, which she ignored. Some of them were genuinely happy for her, while Adel was all but dancing that now he no longer had to hide their faces and he could have the freedom to take the pictures like he liked. “Well, how is the company treating you Mrs. Morrison?” Adel joked. He noticed one of the employees trying to apologize to her just because she saw him gossiping away from his cubicle during work hours. Before when they all thought that she was just the Boss’s assistant, they had some respect and some caution when speaking with her or doing anything in front of her. But not too much. Now, almost every one is reacting as if they are looking at Asher when ever they see her pa
In the Morrison group, Aria received the news of Susan's hospitalization. "Dena, why didn't you tell me earlier? I am coming right away" Aria said with worry. Aria and Dena planned to meet for lunch that day. They both clicked during the dinner the other day in the Cunning residence. So they planned to meet again. But Dena had to cancel it became of her mother in law's health condition. When Aria found out about that, she rushed to be there for Dena and Diego even though Dena doesn't want to trouble Aria. "Non sense. This is not an inconvenience at all. How can it be an inconvenience when I can be there for you when you both are feeling down. I am coming now" Aria said and went to the hospital alone. 'Ash, going to the City hospital. Diego's mom is admitted there' Aria texted Asher who was in a lunch meeting in a restaurant. Natalie accompanied him as Aria had something else to do. 'Will meet you there' Asher replied. Aria hurried to city hospital. She parked her car in the p
Strangely, after the powder Aria gave Susan, the latter turned calm and compliant. She agreed to eat her food, and even took her pills. Susan was never this calm in the past after she became addicted to drugs. "He found his daughter, Diego. He found his daughter. He is planning to kill her and take her heart to replace his failing heart" Susan was murmuring again and again as she was drifting off to sleep. Neither Diego, nor Dena paid any mind to anything Susan was saying. Because half the time she doesn't make any sense. And when she did, it would be something about Andrew, whom Diego hates alot. Aria frowned as Dena covered Susan with a blanket as she drifted off to sleep. "What is she talking about?" she asked with a frown. Dena sighed. "I think it must be something about Diego's dad. We don't understand anything about it most of the time. But this time I think this is something to do about Andrew Cunnings heart replacement surgery. Looks like he found a donor" Dena replied.
"I don't know why you are blaming someone else for your mistakes" Aria spoke. Susan was stunned to hear those harsh words. Aria is not lying, atleast not when she said that Susan is killing her son. She really was. She was swimming so deeply in her grief and sadness that she refused to think about the people who cares about her. She couldn't let go of the person to whom it doesn't matter if she lives or dies, while effectively killing the people whom she gave birth to and who cares for her. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where is my son?" Susan demanded. There is a tremor in her voice that is showing that she is affected. She is confused and couldn't make sense of what she is looking at. Despite her addiction, she is still a mother who couldn't think ill omen for her son. "Nonsense? This looks nonsense to you? Do you know what nonsense is? Its you who will be searching for your next fix while slowly killing your son from inside out. You started killing his spirit when you st
In the Smith’s basement, Cynthia was looking at the ceiling. Her breathing is shallow and labored. She is drenched in her own blood which dried up at this point. Its been twenty four hours since Bryan hit her on her head, since then, no one came to check on her. She was dumped among the empty boxes like trash. She knows that she will not live long. She lost too much blood for her to survive. She couldn't even feel the throbbing in her head anymore. Its as if her body is slowly shutting down, preparing for her departure to the afterlife. Cynthia kept thinking about Aria. Her mind traveled back to the first time when she met Andrew. It was not love at first sight for Cynthia, because she knows that there is no future for her with someone as rich as Andrew Cunnings. Shd used to believe that he was the most eligible bachelor around the area, and often used to stop by the diner where she used to work as a barista. They started talking, just a word or two in the beginning. Gradually And
'Ms.Cynthia' Aria thought about Cynthia with gratitude and longing. While growing up, Cynthia was the only person who has ever shown Aria kindness without expecting anything in return. Aria's mind traveled to the past when she was fourteen years old. She has been seeing Cynthia since as long as Aria could remember after she was taken in by the Smith’s. But that was the first day Cynthia spoke with her, and hugged her even. 'What happened dear? You look, sad' Cynthia inquired when she saw Aria sitting alone in the diner one day after school. That was when Bryan started abusing her. And he banned her from eating food for two days straight because he felt that she is gaining weight which she doesn't need. She was starved by him and Aria couldn't do anything about it. She went to the diner to buy something, but realized that everything on the menu is way more expensive than her five dollars wallet could afford. Aria felt so sad and hungry, that she found a quiet corner to sit and pi
"Brother, what's are we going to do now? She is dead" Bianca asked Bryan about Cynthia's dead body. While Bryan was thinking of ways to clear Cynthia's body without being detected by anyone, Stacy looked scared just like her daughter. Killing someone in the middle of their foyer was a first time for both of them even though Bryan did these kinds of things quiet often in the past. "We have to bury her body before someone finds out about this" Bryan replied, thinking about where and how to bury Cynthia. Bianca is shaking with discomfort. The thought that her twin killed someone so casually is scaring the hell out of her. There is no doubt that both Stacy and Bianca are vicious. Apart from bullying and trash talking about others, they never resorted to physical violence. Killing is a far cry. But Cynthia's death happened on their watch and they are equally responsible for her death as much as Bryan is. And they would never betray Bryan. So they are sticking with him to hide Cynthia's
On the terrace of one of the posh restaurants with the view of the infinity pool, Aria was seen sitting beside Asher with Diego and Dena opposite them. Despite the tension in their lives regarding their mother's, both Diego and Aria looked relaxed. While Diego was feeling hopeful that Susan is finally going to recover soon. And Aria was hoping that she would receive a call from her mother soon. "Thank you so much Mrs. Morrison and Mr. Morrison. You both are a god sent in my life. One helped with my mother, and the other helped with my business when I couldn't make it to an important meeting. A toast for you both" Diego spoke feeling grateful for Aria and Asher. He raised his wine glass to toast both Asher and Aria. Dena raised her glass as well, followed by the Morrisons. "At this point, I think we should ditch the formalities. You can call us by our names. To our budding friendship" Asher toasted. Aria smiled and clinked her glass. They took a sip to seal the new beginning
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
"Mom, calm down. Nothing will happen to her" Bryan assured Stacy. Stacy looked at him uncertainty. By this point, Bianca left the Smith residence and her retreating figure dissappeared into the darkness. "Nothing will happen to her? Are you crazy? A lone woman in the dead of the night will become a target to bad people. How can you still say that nothing will happen to her?" Stacy demanded. Bryan received a call right at that moment from his friend Lance. "I am following after her" Lance confirmed. Bryan planned all this. He expected Bianca to go and find Sandro once she was kicked out of the house. So he put Lance behind her to follow her from a distance. "Good, keep me posted" Bryan replied before disconnecting the call. Stacy frowned when she heard the conversation. She looked confused. "Bryan, what is this all about?" she inquired. Bryan sighed heavily. He is tired, but still determined to deal with Sandro before the day fall. "That punk with whom Bianca foolis
In the Smith’s residence, Stacy looked anxious while Bianca was still crying softly sitting at one corner of her bed. "You shouldn't have called that guy, Bianca. What were you thinking? Did you think about the consequences if your actions before making that call? Did you think about what would happen to your brother? To us? Our family reputation? Did you think about any of this?" Stacy demanded angrily. Bianca on the other hand was folded into herself in fetal position. She didn't utter a single word. She is scared and thats all she was feeling. She didn't think about Bryan. She didn't think about anyone but herself. When Stacy didn't get a reply from her daughter, she became even more upset. "Bianca, I am talking to you" she snapped at her. But Bianca was still crying, sniffing and crying. That pissed Stacy. She rounded the bed and forced Bianca to look at her by squeezing at her cheeks. "What's with this attitude? If that boy tells anyone else about what you told him, the
Bryan was waiting for Sandro to close his restaurant and come out. A hit and run would be very convenient way to get rid of Sandro. So Bryan taped up his number plates to cover his identity. Even if someone watches the car hitting Sandro, no one would be able to locate the driver without the number plate. So with that plan in mind, Bryan waited impatiently. But as minutes turned into an hour, Bryan started to suspect that something is amiss. 'Its well past midnight. What is he still doing in there? All of his employees left for the night. He should have locked it up long ago. Why didn't he? Did he suspect something?' Bryan started to wonder. Getting out of his car and showing his face would be a risky move at that moment, especially when he was planning to kill Sandro. So he decided to wait a little longer. An hour passed, yet Sandro didn't show up. 'Did that punk double cross me and already left?' Bryan realized with anger. He slammed his fist into the wheel with fury. He start
