That evening, while Asher and Aria were having a good meal in the cunning residence, Bryan was seen drinking heavily in the private room of a pub. He was downing his anger with whiskey. "Man, what's wrong with you? Slow down" Lance cautioned Bryan, who finished almost half a bottle in five minutes. Bryan refused to listen to Lance. He couldn't erase the image of Aria in Asher's arms. For as long as he could remember, he considered and believed that she is his. But the reality is far from what he assumed. "Why? She is mine. How can she marry someone else? It was MY grandmother who took pity on her and took her in. But instead of being thankful, that bitch ran away and now got married to someone else. Why?" Bryan is ranting angrily. Lance looked at him with a deep frown. "We both know why she ran away. I have been telling you not to push her too hard. But you never listened. You were so sure that she will stay with you forever, that you took her for granted. You suffocated her
"No, we need you to strip" the stranger demanded Bryan and Lance. For a moment, they both looked taken aback by this outrageous demand. "What the hell?" Lance muttered with anger and disgust. Bryan felt a sense of deja vu wash around him when one of the strangers ripped Bryan's shirt off forcefully, leaving his torso naked. The stranger started touching Bryan, who protested and even kicked the stranger with all his might. "Don't touch me. What the hell are you doing?" Bryan snapped and crawled away from the man who just manhandled him. He didn't notice the other man who was right behind Bryan. The other stranger grabbed a fist full of Bryan's hair and pulled him up from the floor. "Ahh.." Bryan screamed with fear. Two successive punches were landed at Bryan from the stranger whom Bryan kicked. "Ahh.." Bryan groaned with pain. Lance was looking at how Bryan was handled. He didn't dare to make a sound. For some odd reason, Lance remembered the similar way how Bryan used to t
"Ahh.." Cynthia cried out in pain and promptly passed out. "Cynthia?" the staff member who alerted Cynthia cried out in alarm and rushed to check on her. Cynthia was promptly taken away to be checked out by the doctor. After half an hour and some minimal first aid from a doctor, she gained back her conscience. "Ahh.." she clutches her head and groaned with a splitting headache. "How are you feeling now?" the doctor inquired. Cynthia couldn't concentrate on what the good doctor was asking him. Her head is like a cloud of confusion, trying to make sense of some memories she forgotten. "Cynthia? How are you feeling now?" the doctor inquired again, now with a hint of worry. Cynthia tried to make sense of what she is hearing and her memories. "There is little girl, my girl?" she murmured, remembering how she used to work in a diner and look at a little girl who used to go to school from that way everyday. "Have you regained your memories, Cynthia?" the doctor inquired. T
That day, when Bryan was in the hospital, Andrew visited him. Bryan was in a foul mood when Andrew came. His voice is yet to come back, and he is feeling so unlike himself. He used to bully everyone for as long as he remembered. But for the first time, he was bullied and that didn't sit well with him. He is angry at those men, but he is also feeling an unfamiliar feeling of fear. The kind of fear that he never experienced before. The kind of fear that used to make him feel powerful when he used to see that in other's eyes, especially in Aria's eyes. Now, he is experiencing the same fear that kept creeping up his spine despite his efforts not to feel weak like that. That's when Andrew Cunnings walked in followed by two black men who looked similar to the men who bullied Bryan the other night. A sense of uneasy washed over Bryan just by looking at them. A doctor followed after them, who was Andrew's personal doctor. "Mr. Smith, how are doing now? I heard you had an accident last nigh
Cynthia white is desperate. In the last ten years, she doesn't know where her daughter went. As soon as she regained her memories, she went in search of her daughter. When she found out that Nancy Smith passed away just a few years after Cynthia's accident, the latter started to get worried about her own daughter. 'I heard the girl ran away after Nancy Smith's death' Cynthia heard from the diner owner with whom she used to work after the accident. Despite trying to find where she went, Cynthia couldn't find out where Aria is. 'You better go to the Smith family. Nancy's son lives in the city these days. And her grandson started a business which bloomed before he got into trouble recently' Cynthia gathered. No matter what, Cynthia is determined to locate her daughter. 'But first, I have to find out about Andrew Cunnings. I need to know what he is upto these days. If he doesn't know Aria existed, then I don't have to worry about her' Cynthia decided. On the other hand, Diego
After Asher’s decision to make his relationship with Aria public, the PR department of the Morrisons group made a steady release of the news. First it was just a casual post from a public account. ‘Do you know that the two models in this picture are none other than Asher and Aria Morrison? The CEO of the Morrison group and his wife?’ Was tgr post and a recent picture from Ashef and Aria’s photo shoot where Asher’s eyes can be seen in the picture was tagged along with the post. The PR team doesn’t want to release the news at once and make it a media circus. They simply released it as a gossip, making sure to let everyone to contemplate the truth about the news. As no one knows if this is true or false, even the media wouldn’t dare to crowd in front of the Morrisons house and the company. Just like they anticipated, the news soared with too many views and shares. Comments flooded under the post asking if it’s true or a fake news. Discussions started, as everyone started to guess th
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
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
