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
'Don’t trust Andrew Cunnings. He is a monster. He will kill you. Beware of your surroundings. Stay safe my daughter' Cynthia kept repeating in hopes that Aria might be able to hear her even though she knows that it's highly unlikely. 'Don't trust Andrew Cunnings. Beware of your surroundings' Aria was startled to hear those words. She was alone and no one is near. Its as if the nature of trying to caution her. And strangely, that voice felt very familiar. So familiar that Aria’s heart started beating loudly. Memories of Cynthia flooded into her mind suddenly. That's when Aria realized whose voice that is. "Ms.Cynthia?" Aria whispered with shock. Cynthia's soul smiled sadly when she heard Aria's whispering. 'I am sorry my daughter' she whispered before she disappeared. Cynthia is no where around. And Aria doesn't know where Cynthia is. But the warning felt like Cynthia was trying to caution her about something. Which is impossible and unbelievable. 'I am losing my mind. How ca
'Impossible' Dena thought as the resemblance between Aria, Diego and Andrew was so stark, that it cannot be ignored if one is noticing keenly. And for some odd reason, Dena already noticed how the three of them look like father and off springs. 'Is my imagination running wild? Its impossible for them to look so alike. Is my mind playing tricks because I am stressed?' she wondered. Andrew smirked. "Little girl, you would hurt me? With that??" Andrew mocked Aria. Diego gritted his teeth with anger. He pushed Aria behind him and glared at Andrew. "I was holding back because my mom still seems to like you. But if you don't leave now, I will hurt you myself if Aria's knife didn't" Diego snapped at Andrew angrily. Andrew was not expecting to see this. The siblings united against him, which is frustrating. 'Do they know that they are half siblings?' he wondered. Looking at how protective they both seems to be of each other, it's a possibility. And it would complicate things for A
In the Morrison villa, Asher was seen peeling off his wet shirt from hus body. "I am so sorry. Its all my fault" Aria apologized to him for the tenth time that evening. Asher chuckled and shook his head with mirth. While they were having dinner, Aria accidentally knocked off her water glass while she went to pick it up for a sip of water. The water splashed all over Asher's shirt, drenching him through the fabric. She swore that she was holding the glass properly but she didn't how it slipped. Her glass was changed, but she apologized to him atleast five times while they were in the restaurant and thrice during their car drive. Two times after they reached home. "You look so sad that I am wet. Why don't you apologize to me in some other way?" he said suggestively. Her cheeks tinted pink when she understood what he meant. "Sure" she replied shyly. He smirked with mirth. But once his shirt was off, he started to feel a slight burning sensation all over his torso. "What h
The PD James who works for Asher received the contact information of Aria's mother from Asher. 'Can you find out where she is now?' Asher instructed him. Of course James agreed. First, he got the details of the woman who was using that number from telecom company. It needed some greasing of palms before he could get his hands on the details. 'Cynthia White, Age 43 works in the City rehabilitation center' James got his hands on the basic details. After that, he requested the telecom company to trace the number or the last location where the number was active. And so he found out that the number was last active in the Smith residence before it was turned off. James frowned deeply. 'It didn't turn on after that?' he insisted. 'There is no activity on that number after that' the telecom guy replied. He even provided James with the details of Cynthia's whereabouts in the last two days before her mobile was turned off. 'She went to this town from the City rehabilitation center
"Bianca? Who is at the door?" Stacy called out from the living area. Even though she could hear Aria's voice, yet she is hoping that it should be her illusion. They are scared and on edge after killing someone. So its possible to mistake someone else's voice as the person whom they don't want to see or hear from. But her hopes are dashed away after Bianca's reply. "Mom, its Aria. She is hear to talk about her mom" Bianca called out. All the color drained out of Stacy when she heard that. "What?" her voice came out louder than she intended. Shock was clear in her tone. She was not given time to recover from her shock. Because Aria accompanied by Asher and another man walked to their living room followed by a very anxious Bianca. "Mrs. Smith, we are here to inquire about Aria’s mother. We know that she was here the other day. We couldn't reach her through her phone. We just wanted to ask if you know anything about where she might have gone" Asher asked in a tone that demanded an a
"I will not leave until you tell me where my mother is" Aria yelled by the end of it. Stacy and Bianca were stunned at how confident Aria sounded when she insisted that her mother came to the Smith residence. They both started to panic. Bianca who was already scared is now sweating with fear. 'What if they find out about what happened?' her fear was so intense, that it became hard for her to control it. Asher felt sad looking Aria this way. He could see her pain through her words. Just then, Bryan came back from work as if summoned. He was indeed alerted by his sister who texted him about the situation at home. And Bryan obviously had to come home to deal with this issue before his mother and sister ruined it completely. "Aria, if you think you can make our lives difficult by creating unnecessary drama at my home, then you will be disappointed" Bryan's voice sliced through the tension in the room. Everyone turned to look at him. Stacy and Bianca looked relieved to see him,
"Mr. Morrison, you believe that they are hiding something?" John inquired curiously. He thought he was the only one who noticed the odd behavior of the Smith's. Aria was being emotional, while Asher was fully supporting her. Asher nodded his head. "The mother and daughter had the same reaction when they saw us. They were scared. If they don't have anything to hide, then they don't need to be scared of us. I saw how they behaved with Aria in the past. Despite my presence, they looked down upon her and tried to demean her at any cost. But today, there was an invisible tension among them. Bianca Smith was ready to faint at any given point with anxiety. They are hiding something for sure. We have to find out what it is" Asher explained. John was pleasantly surprised. "You are right sir. They are definitely hiding something. And this exchange proved that they will not reveal it so easily. We need to do something to get the truth out of them" John shared his opinion. Aria was tense
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
