"Then why didn't you date anyone? You had so many admirers right? Then why didn't you find a boyfriend?" he demanded sarcastically.She was stunned by his question."Why would I date anyone when I am already married to you?" she replied without thinking about it. And it was the truth. Asher was the only one she ever loved, and she never thought about anyone else."Exactly, don't forget that I am your husband and you are my wife. I didn't go out and sleep my way with the female population of Nepolis because I am your husband. It doesn't have anything to do with someone who chooses their career over me" he replied with a hint of anger. He never raised his voice on her before. This is the first time.Aria's hands slipped down from his face and she took a step back."I didn't realise that I was holding you back. Our contract will end in a matter of weeks. Then you will not be married to me and you don't have to be loyal to me anymore. You can happily get back with Ms. Collins" she replie
"Ms. White, i think we might have to tell the boss" Natalie suggested to a very pale looking Aria. Aria's heart is pounding with confusion. Her mind is clouded with tension that she couldn't think straight. This kind of a blunder never happened before in her entire four years of experience with the Morrison group. Just then, the intercom on Aria's desk started ringing. Natalie answered it on behalf of Aria who looked very tense. "Miss White, the production department wants that as soon as possible. They are ready to start making the incense of the new perfume line" it's a call from the Admin department. He is the person who is coordinating between the production team and the Top floor. Natalie looked at Aria with uncertainty. "Miss White is in a meeting with the boss. As soon as she comes I will send it to you" Natalie lied, just to save the situation temporarily. Aria's mind is whirling with tension. "Aria, we have to tell someone about this if you think the boss would be
"Lift" she whispered with horror. Asher frowned with confusion. "What lift?" he inquired. A shudder ran down her spine just remembering the events of that day. He could feel how she shivered, because he was holding her. "Hey, what happened?" he asked with concern. Aria composed herself, as the incident at hand is crucial. "Last Friday, Pier pushed the files I was holding away because the files I was holding were blocking him from touching me. When he pushed, I thought a file must have slipped and fell inside the elevator and i didn't notice. I took that file along with the rest to the Admin department that day" she shared what she realised. Asher fisted his palms as the urge to strangle Pier became strong. What Pier did was unforgivable and he deserves what he got and more. No one should touch Aria, period. These days, Asher started to notice things which he never realised in the past three years. Somehow down the lane, Aria became someone whom he values both personally and p
"Asher" That voice which he last heard three years ago made Asher freeze. There was a time when he used to feel good when he heard that voice. But now, he felt nothing. Not even the familiarity of their past two years relationship. Slowly he lifted his head and looked at Chloe Collins. Standing in front of him is not his ex, it's a famous super model. Chloe used to look fragile and gentle back then. But he noticed her arrogance almost two and half years ago during one of her interviews. It's as if that fragile and innocent girl never existed. Now, the same arrogant super model who thinks the world dances around her is standing in his cabin. His gaze lost the warmth from earlier. What surprised him was, he felt nothing for Chole. Not even the anger which he used to feel in the beginning after she left. With that thought came a realisation, that Chloe means nothing to him. "I hate people who enter without knocking. I think Ms. Collins forgot her manners" he commented in a blan
Aria entered Asher's cabin with a professional smile, as if she is not at all affected by what happened just now. "You called for me?" she asked with her smile. Her smile is deceiving. She looked unaffected and as calm as ever. When Asher found that she is not at all affected by his close proximity with Chloe, he felt a pang of disappointment in his chest. He doesn't know what he was expecting to happen. He cannot explain why he was assuming that she is sad. The fleeting look of sadness in her eyes felt like a Mirage. He is now questioning himself whether he saw it or was it his wishful imagination. "I just called you to ask if you found the file" he lied. Aria was holding a hope inside her heart, thinking that he might have called for her to explain about Chloe. But when he didn't, her disappointment was deep. But she hid it well. This was the moment when they both started to hide their feelings from each other. "Yes, i found the file without any issues. I handed i
The next morning, Asher was not pleased to see Chloe bossing around Aria. "Hey, go and get me a cup of coffee" Chloe snapped at Aria after she woke up from her sleep. She was still wearing the same dress from last night, and she was acting as if she is the mistress of the house. She thought Aria is the house keeper, as Chloe heard that Asher lives alone. Aria was calm despite how rude Chloe was. "Ms. Collins, the house keeper will help you with your breakfast. I have to go now" with that said, Aria left to work without informing Asher about early departure. Chloe glared at Aria, but before she could say anything, she saw Asher coming down the stairs. Asher was looking at Aria's disappearing figure with displeasure. This is the first time she left without him. And he didn't like it, not even a little bit. He wanted to go after her, but he had to deal with Chloe as well. "Asher, thank you so much for taking me home last night" Chloe rushed towards him and thanked him sweetly.
"Mr. Morrison, as you always gave me the freedom to choose the models and marketing strategies for our products and new launches, I took the liberty to pick a few models along with Ms. Chloe Collins as the face of our new perfume line, Tumblr's. They are coming to give their auditions for the same this afternoon" the marketing department director told Asher. Asher looked at Aria, who looked as calm and composed as ever. It's bothering him more than he could control. And at that moment, he wanted to push Aria to see if that's really the case and the pain he saw in her eyes was just his illusion. "Alright" Asher agreed, but he doesn't have any interest in hiring Chloe. He just wanted to push Aria, but not to make her feel uncomfortable. "Ms white, take care of the auditions this afternoon. I will come after my meeting to finalize the candidate" he specifically instructed Aria, just to see her reaction. But her nonchalant reply irked him to no end. "Sure, Mr. Morrison" she replied, m
"Ash" she whispered with horror as her tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Hmm" he hummed in reply. As his adrenaline started to wear off, he started to feel the pain behind his back. Aria immediately leaned down and saw the broken glass pieces piercing his back over his suit jacket. "Ash" she cried with fear and worry over him. He lifted his head to look at her tear stained cheeks. "What happened? Are you hurt some where?" he Inquired worriedly, ignoring the stabbing pain behind his back. His clothes are drenched with his blood, but he is more concerned about her rather than him. Aria forgot that they have audience. She slapped his chest lightly. "Idiot, you are hurt. But still you are inquiring about my non existent injuries? Some one call an ambulance" she cried out the last part with fear over his safety. She is holding him tightly with both hands, worried that he might fall. Her alarmed cry pushed everyone into action, and someone called for an ambulance. But every
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
