From what I have gathered, it seems that my hunch has been right all along. Markus and Lexy have something going on. But as I see it, my best buddy seems to be following the same path that Elliot did with me before. And he is an asshole if that is the case.

Men are just too cowardly to really be true to their feelings. And I was glad that Elliot already managed to surpass that phase, but I also want Markus to succeed in doing it as well. However, given that he does seem to be exactly as terrible as Elliot was at showing and accepting his feelings, how is he able to achieve that?

Then, at this point, I even began to question why I felt the need to be jealous of Lexy since Elliot had already told me the truth about her. Women should support one another, not compete with one another, right? And maybe being close to Lexy will make me feel at ease as well.

I inhaled deeply as I addressed Elliot with a question he was not expecting to hear from me. "Elliot, can you invite Lexy to come o

    As soon as Kyle finally showed up at the boss's penthouse, having to carry Ariella's belongings and the day's workload, Elliot immediately knew that his friend was not liking these early morning instructions even a bit. Kyle's creased brow and the constant sighing say it all, and all he could do was purse his lips to not further aggravate the situation. Kyle then went to say sarcastically to him, "Here's the early morning delivery, boss. Is there anything else you want picked up or delivered?" Elliot signaled for Kyle to place Ari's stuff on the table and mumbled, "Why are you in a pissy mood so early in the morning, Conner?" He adds cynically, "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" He is clearly enjoying the change of roles they are playing now. It is not always that his underboss is the one on the losing side between the two of them. After all, Kyle knows very well how to irritate him, but in this scenario, he has the upper hand. "Enjoying this too much, Allister? You are lucky

    Elliot, Kyle, and Brit were at the bar, having whispered conversations among themselves and planning what they should do with the information they have about the Dragon Warriors. They are all in deep conversations and were not in any way bothered by Lexy, who is seated on the couch in the living area alone. At the moment, Lexy is deeply uncomfortable. Then why shouldn't she feel this way, especially considering that she has been present at the big boss' penthouse with her two other bosses and the big boss's girlfriend, of whom she really is certain is currently against her? After everything that went between all of them, she really doesn't know how she will act when she comes face to face with the woman whom she has also considered a threat to her and Markus and who also happens to be the love of the big boss's life. In an attempt to make her look calm and collected despite her pounding heartbeat, she only chose to stay still in her place, trying to watch the movie that was earlier

    Since then, there has been complete silence in the room. Both women are remarkably speechless, and both are thinking deeply about what to say next. Both of them have a lot on their minds given that they are conscious of the fact that there are several things that have to be addressed between them. After a few moments, Ari remarked, "You know what? In all honesty, I have my reservations about you after that night and after seeing you again at the party. And that is besides the fact that you are Elliot's date that night, but also because I found myself thinking about the very first time we met. You were there at an unlikely time that I needed someone, and I made myself believe that you were really heaven-sent to me that awful time. But after being taken, I just don't know what to think of you anymore." With a deep sigh, Lexy responded. "It may be difficult to believe, but the truth of the matter is that I haven't had anything to do with what happened to you, Ariella. I've been working

    How should she know? In her head, Lexy had a hunch why, but it would be best not to say it out loud. For her, in particular, love is a complicated matter, not because of her involvement with the mob but perhaps as a natural outcome of the line of work she performs, which makes her a far less desirable woman. Since she is a hooker, who would even treat her seriously? Without a doubt, he is not a man with a prominent position in the mafia. Definitely not one like Markus, for certain. She went on to say to Ari, "He doesn't even see me that way, I guess." And hoped that was the end of the conversation that they were having. Curving her eyebrows at Lexy, Ari wonders, "Did he just tell you that straight out?" At this point, Lexy simply responded pretty quickly with a, "No." "Then you must be assuming things primarily on the basis of your own false assumptions," Ari said with reasonable confidence. She is absolutely sure that Lexy is really just completely misunderstanding Markus, who so

    The question came from the big boss, "Mattias, what's the news? Is everything prepared for this weekend? Have you also told the men to be prepared for anything that might happen just in case?" As soon as the boss asked, Mattias, replied, "We are all prepared for this as always. Everything is totally fine, boss. And all of the things are completely ready to go." "You should be. I don't want any drawbacks on these things." The boss reiterates. "Everything should go according to plan." "Are you coming with us for this transaction?" Mattias decides to ask this time. The answer Mattias anticipates from his boss is confirmed by a quick shake of the head, and he is familiar with the idea that his boss would not be showing up as usual. "I won't," he said. "You may go ahead and carry on having to put on the show for me. The time is not yet right for me to reveal myself to anyone. Not right now, anyway. This is certainly not the time at which I should meet them yet, but we'll get there short

    Elliot was focused on getting himself ready, while Ari was outside finishing her makeup. Today is the most-awaited trip to Ari's family, and every one of his men is on high alert. They cannot be complacent about anything. He was already checking his get-up when he received a text message from Kyle that said, "The men are all ready. We're set to go once you're here, lovebirds. Lexy, Jason, and Everly will have to meet us halfway on the route to ensure that there is sufficient distraction on this trip. Brit will be following us closely as we leave." "We're nearly ready to go." He swiftly responded. "Give me a maximum of ten to let Ari know that we are about to go, and then we will be out." He was about to go out of the walk-in closet when he heard a message beep again from his phone shortly after a brief period of silence. "Please, for the sake of everyone who is waiting here, do not even consider having a quickie with lady love before we leave. If you could, please get moving now be

    Kyle's comment as Elliot and Ari walked out of the house was, "It's about time you two got here, Allister." And it was obviously meant to irritate the crap out of the boss. Elliot knew he had planned to do this. The asshole stands near the vehicle with his usual cunning smirk as he proceeds to annoy his boss. "Did I not warn you to not even partake in a-" Elliot snapped back, glaring at Kyle, "Shut the damn thing up, Conner. You are starting to really get on my nerves." "Hey, what's up, Kyle?" Ari decided to ask, trying to break the growing tension between the boss and the underboss. She approached him with a sweet smile. "Where are Brit and Lexy? Aren't they supposed to be here too?" "In fact, we've been waiting for the two of you for far longer than was necessary, lady love. Seems like you've got some dirty little secret back there." He adds as he winks at Ariella. Ari responds with a flushed face, beginning to feel extremely embarrassed by Kyle's profanity. "No. None of those th

    Kyle came back into the vehicle to just let Elliot and Ari know that they were clear to get out and go inside, declaring, "Everything here is sorted, boss. You and Ari may step out of the car now. Briton and the men have ensured that the area is safe, and several of our men are on standby. He is already waiting for us by the entrance." They had just reached the café where they were going to be stopping over so as to ensure that there would be no trail about their travel. Owing to Ari's mere presence with them, as a result, enhanced security measures were required to be performed before they could even go from one point to another. And this was all the boss's order. Elliot acknowledges Kyle as he beckons for Ari, stating, "Are you ready to go out? If you are, let's go, love," to which Ariella replied with a nod of her head. He then got out of the vehicle and motioned for his girlfriend to follow suit. Several of Elliot's men immediately gathered around them when they alighted the veh

    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
