The moment I happened to walk out of the shower, Ari's voice resonated in my ear, "Is this actually fine? Is this dress not too fancy? Or should I just start changing to something that's more laid back? Is my makeup just right? Or should I just go without make-up at all? What do you think I should do with my hair? Bring it up or just put it down?"

She has a lot of questions for me that I don't even intend to answer. She has indeed been putting in an effort for several hours already and has still not managed to finish. And I actually don't care about what she wears or what she does to her hair. I simply want her to be in whatever attire she wants to be in. Anything that she is comfortable with and not because it is what I want.

I continued to eye her. She sure looks sexy as hell, wearing that form-fitting pastel blue dress that is just above her knees, or is it just right below her ass? Her dress features a front tie with a plunging neckline and a cute cut-out with dainty ruffle slee

    "You're home!" My mom called out to us as excitedly as she could when we got inside my parents' house. I'm holding Ari's hand, and vice versa. And she is shivering. I want to make it clear that when she claimed she was stressed and worried about all of this, she was really not trying to be humorous about it. She really is anxious about meeting them again. I grip her hand a bit tighter, letting her know that everything is going to be perfectly alright. "I've been waiting for you, so I don't know what took you so long. I almost thought you'd changed your mind and wouldn't be coming." "In all honesty, mom, I really thought about that. But I also know how you will keep bugging me about it and I won't hear the end of it. So here we are now." I said jokingly to her as I approached her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "What took you so long? Have you been working again when I clearly told you not to make any plans for today?" Mom asked me, as she turned to face Ariella with an inviting

    Elliot and I decided to relax after the delicious meal that we shared with his parents. His mother specifically told us to stay until dinner time as she was so sure that it would take a long time for us to come back after this get-together. And that is why we have been unwinding by the pool area, not talking much but just enjoying the silence and being in each other's arms. In fact, the lunch with his parents was a success. It is a far cry from all the negative ideas that I convinced myself will happen earlier. And as expected, I was wrong in making an assumption about his parents that way. They will always treat me as a part of their family, no doubt about that now. And though he may appear strict and gruff, Elliot's father is actually a gentleman and a true romantic. He is not afraid to show his love for his wife through his actions. And considering that he once held the highest position in their gang, I actually can't believe that he will be at his wife's command when at home. It

    When Elliot left me with his mother, I was, unfortunately, powerless to respond with force. How could I think that when I can't even leave my spot? I continued squirming around in my chair, obviously uneasy about being in this place alone with Elliot's mother. She said aloud, "Ari, honey, relax. Have a couple of snacks here while you wait for Elliot to come back." I fumbled through my response, "I'm fine, m-mom. I'll just sit and wait for Elliot to come back. Anyway, I'm still full from the sumptuous lunch we had." Elliot's mother continued to take a peek at me, and the longer she continued to do so, the more I squirmed in my chair. When I was here with her alone, the anxiety managed to return, contrary to my initial belief that I had conquered it. And to make this situation worse, the awkward subject of Elliot and I being intimate merely makes me feel even more embarrassed to face her. "There is nothing to be worried about, Ariella. You and Elliot are both adults now. You know wha

    I came up with a plan to start work at A-Hotel very early in the morning so I could actually finish the chores I managed to miss during my one-week and a few-day short break from work, and I chose to believe that I could actually work in peace. But I was completely wrong about that when, in the middle of reviewing several documents, the most annoying person I know barged into my office without even knocking. Nothing has really changed, and what do I even expect from Kyle, anyway? "Well, well, well, the boss is here. Finally, your vacation is over, and you will now work your ass off!" He made a point of saying it to me, clearly giving me his early morning dose of assholeness. "I am so excited to actually pass some work to you, boss." He added sarcastically as he made his way to the couch. I don't know how he even manages to do it, but it seems as though Kyle could always just locate me when he wants to, even when I don't want to. And even if I'm not trying to look for him, he also j

    "The weekly shipments have been going well, and no major problems were encountered with the last exports we did to the Russians. The market has been quiet for the past few weeks, and no major issues are arising. We have been keeping an eye on anyone who most probably would have had the nerve to work with Lucio, but it would seem that none of them is really that stupid to go against what you said, Elliot, and that really leaves our trail to the dragon warrior's capo." "Any news on that?" I asked apprehensively. As much as I dislike that jerk, I won't be able to erase the fact that he is still someone Ari trusts, but whatever connections he has with Lucio will not benefit him, because I will ensure that he is exposed. But I know Ari will be deeply hurt, and that is something I do not want to see happen to the love of my life. "Sadly, Brit doesn't have any leads yet. He and his men are on the lookout for him and a possible interaction with Lucio, but Markus is smart enough to know not t

    "Elliot, no! No, no. My goodness! Why would you do something like that? And why would you even think that I would actually love all of this?" Ari cried out in disdain and contempt at exactly what she was hearing from Elliot right now, at exactly the right time that they were supposed to be enjoying their time together. He had just gotten back from work, and she terribly missed him, but all of a sudden, her longing for him turned into annoyance. How could Elliot even think of deciding something for her? She is extremely upset with the man standing in front of her, and it tends to show in her body language. To reassure her that he had already taken into account everything about this, Elliot says, "Babe, listen to me first and don't get mad easily. You wanted to do something like this, don't you? This is your life before everything about the mafia life happened, Ariella." "No." She still said it in defiance. "I won't, Elliot, and that is final." Elliot stared straight into her eyes a

    "Isn't it that I told you to stay out of the spotlight for a while? What in the bloody hell do you want now that you can't stop bothering me?" Markus barraged the man in front of him with questions without even the slightest hint of a greeting as soon as he finally showed up at that secluded meeting place. "Are you really that stupid to wish for yourself to die down immediately?" Lucio turned around and looked at him, slightly irritated with how Markus was treating him. "What else can I do? Are you forgetting that we have an agreement? You were supposed to put in additional support for me, but lo and behold, you failed to fulfill that obligation to me. I need to live, you asshole!" Markus was really only able to grunt in annoyance and displeasure at the person in front of him. As much as he wishes Lucio would leave his case, he cannot because he knows he will need him again in the near future. "I'm not forgetting about that agreement, jerk. All I'm doing here is trying to keep everyt

    Two men could be seen discreetly bickering over something in the stillness of the night. And although what was happening was visible to the rest of the men on the ground with them, they all chose not to interfere at this moment. They know better than to meddle with something that is not their concern. No one can genuinely understand what the verbal hubbub that is occurring between the two is all about as well. But whatever it is, it begins to appear to be about something big and important for the two to face off on the grounds just like that. The two men exchanged dirty, mean looks as they awaited each other's next move. And it also seemed as if they were about to each draw their firearms and end this ordeal between them, but both of them subsequently changed their minds and thought better of their situation. It really shouldn't reach such an extent once more. They now behave more calmly and rationally with each other than they used to in the past as a result of the changes in their

    The wedding ceremony is happening in a blur for both of them. They are just too focused on each other all the time, as they are both holding each other's hands. The couple is so overjoyed about everything that is happening that they were smiling all throughout. And why wouldn't they? They are getting married! "Now that you can, Elliot, you may now recite your vows." The priest directed him. Elliot wasn't accustomed to these situations, of course. He's never been kind to express how he really feels, especially about love topics, and most of all not in front of other people. Kyle and Brit are the only people who could possibly know everything about what his heart desires. Nevertheless, today, he is willing to voice his opinion openly about Ariella and take away all his inhibitions because he wants Ari to understand how important she is to him. Before actually beginning to say his vows, he even took a deep breath to compose himself. "Hey, you know how hard this is for me, Ari, sweetie.

    As I stood beside Kyle, my heartbeat was thumping frantically in my chest. I am anxious and excited, and I can tell that every person in the hall is feeling the same way as I am. This is where it all ends now. This is the culmination of everything that we've worked so hard to achieve. Today is a very special day for me and Ari, and everyone present here today is going to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. And I've honestly been eagerly awaiting this moment as well for a very long time now. But, in addition to that, I am currently experiencing a wide range of emotions. And for the very first time in my life, I can feel my hands and legs trembling at the same time at just the thought of Ariella Gregory. A distinct kind of nervousness is what I am starting to experience because, even though I'm anxious as I stand here with my best man, my excitement for what today will bring outweighs my nervousness by a long shot. Today is my most anticipated day. I'm going to get married tod

    "There may still be time for you to make up your mind and change the decisions that you made, so are you sure that this is exactly what you intended to be doing?" Markus is acting like an a-hole as usual at this moment. "Sure, everything else with the villains of your lives is done and over with, but are you absolutely able to say that you wanted to marry him, that douche? Just tell me, Ariella, and I am willing to save you from this misery that you are about to get yourself into." I scowled at him as I crossed my arms in front of my chest to just let him know that he was not in the least amusing me and that I was beginning to get upset and clearly annoyed with him. "Markus, are you done grating on my nerves? If you are, can you shut the hell up now?" "What the heck, pumpkin? Why are you being so rude and surly? I'm merely trying to provide some clarity to your muddled and disorganized thinking. And I just want to let you know there is still enough time to back out." "Shut the heck

    "It’s alright, dear. It's actually a very sweet gesture from you. And it just shows how much you really love my daughter." "I really do love her." He said proudly. Ari is too pleased, and she can feel the butterflies in her stomach again just hearing Elliot's words of affection for her in front of her mother. "And I love him too, so much, mom." She said proudly as well, then turning her attention to her fiance she said. "And yeah, I'm actually making your breakfast, but I thought that something must have happened because you kept calling and shouting my name that I have to see you. Are you seriously missing me all that much?" He replied confidently, "I certainly do." Then he lowers his voice and whispers to Ari, "Let's go back up into our room and I'll show you how much I miss you and how much I love you." "I like that." Ari answered grinning. She then turned to face her mother asking her, "Mom, will you be an angel and take over in the kitchen? Elliot and I just need to discuss s

    Elliot immediately woke up from his sleep when he dreamed about Ariella not being beside him. He tried to reach for her but was surprised to find out that she was really no longer lying next to him. "Ari!" He exclaimed in an instant. He's been so protective of her since the recent incident that the prospect of losing her again fills him with dread. He has lost her so many times in the past that he will not allow it to happen again. He jumped out of bed and briskly walked into the bathroom to look for her. "Baby?" He called out to her again but still got no response. He then tried looking for her in the walk-in closet, but still, she was nowhere to be seen. "Baby, where are you?" He says to himself. Instantly, he began to feel uneasy. How could she have gone anywhere without him? Did she abandon him? But why? What did he do to merit that from her? He tried reaching out to her all the time, but Ari is still finding it hard to get through the events of last time, and as he and Ethan d

    It is extremely simple to fool this young man who thinks so highly of himself, and as Mattias nods his head in agreement with Lucio, the elderly man feels he has done an outstanding job. With that being said, he has to leave immediately before Mattias poses a lot of questions that he wouldn't be able to answer. After concluding his report, he said, "With all of that information revealed to you, I will put it to rest at that for the time being." He then grabbed the money and, having to put it in his bag, rose up from his seat and proceeded to go. "I need to leave right now because I have somewhere I need to be. Call me if your big boss has another assignment for me." He declared, turning to leave without waiting for Mattias to respond. "The Allisters—what's up with them then?" The moment Mattias posed that query, Lucio halted in his tracks. "What? What about the Allisters?" "Isn't it that you told me you have information concerning both Gregory and Allister?" Mattias inquired as he

    Lucio was so excited about this meet-up that he greeted Mattias as soon as he came through the door, saying, "Mattias, it's been quite some time since I last heard from you. What surprises do you have in store for me now? Did the boss seem to like everything that I had to say about the Gregory and Allister families? I need details about what went through with your plans." The most recent incidents involving the Wilsons, Gregorys, and Allisters are still unknown to Lucio. He still doesn't know that Mattias and his men have been captured and are under direct orders from Elliot, nor does he know that Matthew is already dead. He made the decision to maintain a low profile after receiving numerous threats from an anonymous gang, and since he doesn't have anyone to back him up solidly, he decided to stay put and keep silent for a little while. And now he's overjoyed that Mattias has summoned him. He may not have information now, but Mattias won't know that, so it will be easy money for
