My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss Chapter 17
When I saw that bitch straddling Elliot, I don't know what it was that made me respond the way I did. I'm sure I shouldn't have made such a fuss. I'm sure I shouldn't have been so enraged. For the love of God, I'm engaged. What I don't understand is why I behaved the way I did. It bothered me that she was all over him, while Elliot was clearly enjoying every moment of it. I was furious when I caught her kissing my boyfriend! Yeah? Your boyfriend, Ari? Are you sure he's the real boyfriend? Gosh! I'm talking about my fake boyfriend! I'm a total shameless flirt! What is it about Elliot that makes me feel this way? I fucking have a boyfriend, and I just got engaged to him, which is a huge plus. But why do I still have the impression that the feelings I've had for Elliot that I tried to bury are slowly seeping back into my life? Why is it making its presence felt so suddenly? And every day, I'm left perplexed. I'm trying to convince myself that Matt's absence makes me miss him more. And

The following weeks flew by without a trace. Matt and I don't get to talk or video call as often as we would like because Matt has been so busy with his work. Everything is simply so difficult when you factor in the time difference. Instead, we used messaging to stay in touch as often as possible. When I get up, I'd text him, but he was probably still asleep. When he awakens from his slumber, he will reply to me while I am still asleep. I have no choice but to understand our situation, as difficult as it may seem. I kept reminding myself that we are making these sacrifices for the sake of our future together. Just a little bit of sacrifice and then we can be together again. He can either return to work here in a few years, or I can come to him. We haven't really talked about our plans for the future, especially when it comes to tying the knot, because we're so focused on the moment, especially since Matt is slowly achieving his dreams. I checked my phone as I got out of bed to see

I planned a surprise visit to Ariella's apartment today. Over the last few weeks, I've been extremely occupied with a range of tasks. And my business does not revolve solely around black markets and lawful ventures. A significant portion of my attention was devoted to strategizing and ensuring Marga's capacity to execute her job accurately. To say that I was startled by Matt's ability to switch off his desires is an understatement. If it weren't for the fact that he's Ari's fiancé, I'm positive I'd be impressed with him. He was able to disregard all of Marga's advances, forcing me to contemplate alternative options. I figured he must genuinely care about Ari, huh? This merely suggests that I'd have to improve my game. I can't seem to find a way to remove him from the picture. It's as if every time I come up with a brilliant scheme, it either backfires on me or the asshole comes up with a bigger and better strategy to derail my plans. And I'm a tad irritated. How much luckier can he g

I'm not sure what came over me as I said those words, but that everything she wanted, she would get for today. Because, for the love of all things holy, this is the second chick flick we've watched since she finished her breakfast. And, as much as I wish to support her on this, I am literally pissed off with all the crying in the movie. I can absolutely not stand these kinds of films. Goddammit! I'm a mafia boss, and here I am, sitting and pretending to be completely enthralled in the film. The only benefit I get from all of this is the ability to get all touchy-feely with her leaning over to me. To be honest, I haven't been paying any attention to the movies because I've been too preoccupied with watching her. And every time I see her reaction, my pulse quickens. Despite not liking the movie we're watching, I have a sense of contentment in my heart. Being with her warms my heart in the same way that just looking at her does. And what would I be willing to give up to be able to enjoy

I'm not sure what happened to me. I'm not sure why I suddenly felt compelled to kiss Elliot. But I just did and I gave it my all. I attempted to restrain myself, but the moment I looked into his blue eyes and saw those lips, I knew I was doomed. I was too engrossed in the sensation to notice that I had lost my sense of cognition. I've experienced it. And it's impossible for me to deny it. I've sensed the connection. It was even better than the connection I have with Matt when we kiss. The emotions I felt during those kisses were unreal. Something that can only be described in books by writers. However, it was all true. Does this imply that he has feelings for me as well? Is it reasonable to presume that his feelings for me extend beyond friendship? I am so confused that I'm not sure how to deal with him right now. How could I when I acted like a slut? My goodness, Ari! You were the one who initiated the kiss with Elliot. And to even think that you're engaged already! What the hell is

When her jerk boyfriend phones her, I'm enraged. He shouldn't be in the picture because it's meant to be "our time." But I realized I had to be the bigger person in this situation, so I dragged her phone over to her with all the might I could muster so she could answer the call. If I hadn't pushed her into it, I'm not sure what came over her that she didn't want to pick up the phone at first. Is it an effect of our kiss? Is it because of her feelings for me that she won't talk to him? If that's the case, I'll have to make sure we get some more kisses throughout this day. But it's her reaction following the call that has me most surprised. Ari appeared to be upset to the point of being infuriated. Her indignation is visible in her wrinkled forehead and furrowed brows, and she is failing terribly to conceal it. "What's the matter with you, love? You've just gotten off the phone with your fiancé and are now in a trance. Is this how he makes you feel?" The sound of my voice seems to st

Recently, I've been depressed quite a bit. Matt's phone calls and messages have been dwindling with each passing day. I can't stop thinking about what I heard that night during our last conversation. I am sure that I heard a woman's voice, but I don't want to cast any doubt on Matt. I know I shouldn't. After all, it's me who's been enjoying Elliot's frequent kisses these past several days. Since that day, Elliot and I have been sneaking kisses at each other whenever we get the chance. And I can't stop thinking about Ethan's words from the night we ate supper together. What transpired during that conversation is still fresh in my mind. "So, Elliot, your best friend has spent the entire day with you? Is Matt aware of this?" he inquired, inquisitively. Elliot had already departed before Ethan arrived for our supper, which I appreciated. I don't want Ethan to see him and say things he shouldn't say to him. "It's not a huge issue, Ethan." I answered. "As I've already stated, Elliot and I

For a long time, I've been on top of my game. And everything is progressing according to my plan. In just a few days, I'll be able to taste victory. Ari's fiancé, Matt, has been having a hard time trying to stay away from Chloe, and he'll be at a stalemate very soon. My office door slammed open, and Kyle walked in with a grin on his face. "Is there any new information? What do you want now?" I inquired. "What's the first thing you'd like to know? Legal, illegal, or a one-of-a-kind effort for your lady love?" "How about we start with the business side and then move on to Ari-related issues?" Even though I'm curious to know how her fiancé is doing, I'd like to learn more about our businesses first. "Fine. In terms of the legal side of things, the hotel expansion is progressing smoothly, and we expect to start construction in about three months. Ariella has been working hard on the project and has made significant progress." "Hmm." I mumbled. I'm confident Ari will be a terrific fit

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
My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss Chapter 193.2
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
My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss Chapter 193.1
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
