Absolute silence fell over the air as everyone present focused their attention on the groom who had a small smile on his face.
He stared into El's eyes and opened his mouth to utter the words. Ara swallowed hard.
"I...."
Mia's horror-filled scream followed by a loud thud diverted everyone's attention to her. Her terror-struck eyes were fixed on the ground, at someone. Everyone gasped in horror when they saw Mattias Serrano lying on the floor lifeless. The thick scarlet blood spilled out generously from the bullet hole that was carved at the back of his head. Everyone was stunned to their spot. Ara let out a gasp and quickly hid Angela's face in the crook of her neck so that she doesn't see it. She covered her mouth in pure shock.
Not a moment later, a grunt echoed in the room. Everyone's head snapped to the source to witness the mighty Killian Serrano falling to his knees. His white shirt slowly turning crimson. I
"The attacker is caught, He has confessed to the murder. The cops are on their way to Rossi," Santiago briefed with an amused smirk.Killian swirled his drink.The news of Matias' death had spread like wildfire. The man was consideredthe most charismatic politician of the era and the potentialPM candidate for the upcoming election. All in all his death was a big loss. His followers were on the streets, protesting for justice which prompted the authorities to expedite the investigation process. Killian was well aware of Matias' popularity and so had planned everything beforehand. The killer was told to take Rossi's name. Someone had to be caught.Killian had already made it easier for the authorities to suspect Rossi. It was notli
She halted in front of him. Maintaining their eye contact, she gently held his hand and took the gun from him. He loosened the hold instantly andlet her have it. She threw the gun to the couch and laced her fingers through his. After interlinking their fingers she turned and started walking towards the bathroom. She led, he followed. No words were exchanged between them.Once they were in the bathroom, Ara started unbuttoning his blood-stained shirt. He remained still, watching her as she stripped him off of his clothes one by one, dropping them to the floor, with no expression on her face.She held his hand once he was outof his clothes and led himinto the shower stall. He followed her without a word. She sat him on the edge of the bathtub and started soapingand scrubbing his body. She tur
The clouds of anxiety weigheddown on him as his feet advanced towards the room she was admitted in. There was an unfamiliar man and a woman standing outside the door of her room. The man had big bloodstains on his shirt. Killian'sheart staggeredpainfully as he deducedwhose blood was that.He swallowed andstalkedtowards the roomin three large strides.To his disappointment, the room was closed as she was being treated behind the doors."Fuck it," he aggressively punched the wall beside the door and defeatedlydraggeda hand down his face. The couple watched him confused as he swiveledtowards them and made eye contact with the man. The man gulped. He didn't seem to be in the best of mood."You broug
"You need to quit it, officer. You might end up like your brother," Killian warned him in a menacingtone."I don't know about my end but your end has come, Mr. Serrano and it is today. I am here to take you to your rightful place," Fernando took thehandcuff from one of the officers."On what ground?" Killian growled threateningly. Fernando smiled at his question."For committing the murder ofLorenzo Rossi," Fernando answered.Killian quirked a brow. He didn't seem affected by his accusation."From what I have heard, he was encountered," Killian stated" We all know it wa
Flashback"I know something is up with you, Bell, spill it" Freya insisted."What are you talking about? Everything is fine," Ara faked ignorance as she dipped the biscuit in her tea. Freya let out a sigh."You still are a bad liar," she remarked, sipping on her coffee."I don't know what you are..""I know you, Arabella Garcia," Freya stompedher mug on the table. ""The smile you are wearing is fake. You are not your old self anymore. You are not my friend, the girl who would light up the whole world with her 1000
"Lucy, revenge is never the option. It will damage you more. Learn to forgive and move on," she told the younger girl who was sitting, sulking across the desk from her."How would you know what betrayalis? It tears you apart. You feel like the world is closing inon you. I loved him with all my heart, he said he would love me till our last breath,and yet he cheated on me with that Giana. I hate him and I hate her. I will never forgive him,"bewailed thegirl. Ara nodded sympathetically, feeling a little weird being lectured about love by an 11-year-old girl. Isn't she too young to know this stuff and the lines she just used? Kids these days. She noted how her eyes had welled up again. She reached forward and heldher hand."This is not love, Lucy and you are stronger than you think......" Ara counseled the girl until she promisedto not bully Giana anymore.Ara let out a sigh of exhaustion and leaned back in her chair.
The maid was sweeping his study room when her gazefell on a particular document on the table that instantly snatched her interest. She grabbed the paper and read it. Her eyes widened in surprise. It was a divorce paper. She had not expected to stumbleupon a jackpot like this. The boss will pay her well for this. She quickly glanced around before pulling out her phone and clicking a picture of the document.ArabellaTwo days had passed since she had sent him the papers but no response had arrivedyet. She had begun to doubt if he had even received the papers. And if he had, she couldn't help but wonder whathis reaction must have been. All his expressions wandered through her mind. She had seen allhisexpressions; happy, sad, angry, lusty, determined, lazy. Just which one
"Wait..where are you taking us?" Noah asked frantically. Ara was silent because she knew begging and pleading wouldn't get them anywhere.They were dragged outside the room. Ara's steps faltered when she saw a familiar face. He was standing in the middle of the hall surrounded by lifeless bodies.Santiago."Found them," the man who was dragging themtold Santiago before pausing.Santiago gave hima nod and shifted his gaze over to Ara.Ara was stunned.Their eyes met momentarily before he averted his gaze to Noah. There was no recognition in his eyes. Did he not recognize her?
After recovering from his years-long amnesia, the former Mafia King vowed to get back his crown.They played him. His second in command and the love of his life. He was a fool to believe them. He shouldn’t have ignored the signs. He shouldn’t have let drugs impair his abilities. Now the damage was done.He now clearly remembered the night, his second in command had almost killed him.After assuming him dead, he had thrown him into the sea, hoping the fishes would eat his body. But no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot overpower fate.The man was rescued by the fishermen.Th
It was one month after their honeymoon did Ara find out she was pregnant. Killian was on cloud nine when he learned it. He was so happy that he bought Ara an island for making him a dad. However, the man didn’t know that the pregnancy would turn his sweet Bella into an always frustrated woman. Her mood swings were terrible than his. One moment she would be all cheery and in the next, the fire would be spewing out of her eyes. One morning she had told him to bring her pineapple cake. As the day went by, he forgot and returned home empty-handed. “Where is my cake?” this is how she welcomed him. Her eyes scanned him for her cake as if it would be somewhere on him. “Oh..sweety, I forgot it. I’ll get you one tomorrow, okay?” he walked over smilingly and pecked her lip. Ara gave a slight nod with her head hung low. Killian walked up to their room to freshen up. After getting fresh, he returned and settled in his chair. Bella was sitting next to him. He had hardly taken a bi
She was gasping and moaning while clutching hard on the metal as he thrusted in and out of her, discarding all restraints. Her hips hit the railing repeatedly as he pumped her violently.She was bent over the railing with her ass up in the air for her husband who was fucking her from behind like a wild animal. His large callous hands were splayed over her hips with his heavy balls slapping against her clit, every time he slammed into her. The shimmering Eiffel tower in front of her held no allure as her attention was captivated by his thick rigid cock which was currently pumping into her with ruthless ferocity.she could feel his hot breath on the side of her neck and the beads of his sweat dripping down on her inflammable back despite the cold night.He withdrew a couple of inches then
With a swift turn, Killian took over the maroon car.The smaller vehicle screeched to a halt. Killian opened the door and got down his SUV. He scanned the surrounding beneath his shades and lastly rested his eyes on the car. One by one, the men started climbing out of the car.Killian remained calm like the surface of ocean water. He didn’t react even when they yanked Bella out like an animal. The man knew one reaction from him could result in the termination of her life. So he acted unaffected.His heart was raging with a fierce vengeance but he held himself back and watched the man manhandling his woman. He silently vowed that he will make them pay with their blood for every drop of tears she spilled.The man didn’t know he w
Killian's POVHe watched her walking away. His Bella was leaving him. An excruciating pain tore through his anxious heart, benumbing his senses. He called her. He begged her. His vision blurred as he felt something warm trailing down his cheek. He was crying. His heart was restless, it was twisting in agony.The rough edges of the cuff dug into his skin, drawing out blood as he struggled against it to reach her.His pleading voice as he begged her to stay sounded foreign to his ear. He was a conqueror, he ruled his world with an iron fist. This voice was known for barking orders and issuing threats. He was never the one to plead but here the tables had turned. The man who ruled the world was on his knees now, begging for his woman to stay. It is in that moment he realized, how she had turned everything upside do
Did you or did you not trade the information?" he slammed the butt of the gun against the back of his head."I..I did..I am sorry, forgive me. I became greedy for money," Sweat poureddown from every pore of his body. As he joined his tremblinghands and pleaded with tears streaming down his eyes. He wason his knees."An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end," Killian skimmed the barrel of the gun down his bloodstained cheek. The man looked up at him, confused."I reckon you don't reed bible, eh" Killian smirked. In all honesty, he also had never read the bible but staying with his devotee wife, he unintentionally had memorized a few verses. Let's say, he had memorizedhalf of the holy book. The consequences of marrying a
Killian was on tenterhooks as he spedtowards the hospital. Ten minutes ago, he was in his office, getting readyfor a presentation when Natashacalledand told him about Ara. He dropped everything right that moment and departed for the hospital where his wife was admitted.He hastily stopped the car and climbed out. With long, urgent strides, he walked towards the receptionist and asked her about his wife. One moment later, the woman told him the room she was in. Killian turned and hurriedtowards the mentioned room.He stoppedoutside the labor room and swiped a hand down his face in nervousness. Right on cue, a doctor opened the door and sauntered out. Killian stopped him."Is my wife alright?" he asked.
"But we are married," she looked confused."I want to see love for me in your eyeswhen you will say "I do,"he disclosedsoftly. This was the softest side of him. A side that didn't exist for the world. A side only she evoked and according to him deserved.Ara's lips curved into a smile as she raised her hands and raked her fingers through his silky sweaty air. "I would love to," she stated, lifting her head andbrushing her lips against his. Killian captured her lips into a heartfelt kiss."Pack your bags. We will head out in the eveningtomorrow," he murmured against her lips.Her brows pulled together in confusion."Where?" she askedHis eyes twinkled with excitement as he looked into her eyes."Paris," he stated and pulled her lips into anotherdeep kiss...........Ara stared at her reflection t
Ara had organized a family dinner to celebrate Killian's birthday. Sophia, Natasha, Santiago all were invited. The day was big and she didn't want to leave any stone unturned. Luckily, she had the whole day toarrange as Killian had already left for work in the morning. Poor guy, he couldn't get rest even on his birthday. But it was good in a way, he wouldn't have let her even out of their bedroom if he had stayed home.Ara let the maids cook all the dishes as she didn't know much about Spanish food. She only cooked Killian's favorite and thedessert."Bro, the enticing aroma of your food can be smelled from the maingate of the mansion. The guards areliterally salivating," Natasha entered the kitchen, eyeing the food with keen interest.Ara turned and smiled."They are in luck then. I've made some for them too," she stated."You are an angel, Ara," Natasha said, grabbingsomepieces of c
