As soon as I walked into the coffee shop, I was accosted by a whiny voice with a barrage of questions, saying, "Oh my gosh! Ari, is that you? Ariella Gregory, is that really you? Where the hell have you been all this time? What actually happened to you that you were just suddenly off the radar?"

Of course, seeing Trish here startled me. And now a big part of me wants to regret even passing by here. I don't want to explain myself, and I am not ready to see anybody just yet. I made the choice to stop by for a coffee while I was out conducting market research and making a trip to visit several A-hotel sites.

"Trish?! Such a long time has passed. How have you been? We haven't really seen each other in such a long time. I believe it was during the gala event at that time that we last saw each other."

She asked eagerly as she scanned the shop, "Yes, I know. It's been so long, but more than asking me, I should ask you the same thing, how have you been? Why did you suddenly leave your job?

    Elliot is slowly beginning to inquire about the reason behind my phone's continuous beeping since we arrived home, which I had anticipated from him. "Your mobile's been blaring since hours ago, sweetie. What is it all about? Who would that be? And why don't you just check it out and find out what it is that whoever that was wants from you?" Nobody but Trish could have been the one who was constantly sending me messages. I checked a few of her texts earlier but didn't bother replying since Elliot and I haven't actually talked about it yet, but my silence just encouraged her to bombard me with more and more messages. Following our chance encounter earlier today, she has already been contacting me to remind me of the night out tomorrow, which I haven't really committed to, but she is assuming that I already do. "It's not that important, babe. I'll attend to whoever that was after this movie that we are watching." I answered, trying to keep my focus on the screen again. "Baby, would you

    "Are you like fucking kidding me now, Ari? Is this what I actually took time to prepare for? When you said you were down with us bonding tonight, I didn't expect something like this." Trish simply cannot help but bitch and moan to me about the situation that we are in. And as much as I'd like to be irritated with her, I can't, simply because she does have a point to make me feel that way. "A picnic of sorts, really? What are we? A grade schooler?" "I am sorry. This is not how I intended this to be for us, but Elliot can really be way over the line with regards to me." She keeps rolling her eyes at me while continuously flipping her hair over her shoulders. "So what do we have to do? Just sit here all night and wait for El to be back? That is just so boring." I did not make more of an effort to control my giggle, even though I could feel her displeasure over it because I somehow wanted to continue to highlight to her how much Elliot values me in his heart. "At least I was permitted t

    I suddenly and unexpectedly said as much to Kyle and Brit. "We have to go, right now, even though we were still processing the cargoes, we need to leave." This immediately drew the attention of the two, who looked at me perplexedly. "Tell the men to finish this up. We really need to leave in an instant." My heart is pounding hard in my chest right now, but I can't pinpoint the source of my unexplainable fear. Almost always, I really do not feel anxious or terrified, but at this exact moment, I think I am almost about to have a panic attack. "Damn it!" I hissed. "What is it?" Kyle said while confusion is slowly overtaking him, as he stopped what he was doing and looked at me. Instead of answering him, I continued giving orders to my capo. "Brit, call Everly as quickly as possible and find out more information as to what Ari and Trish are doing and to tell me Ari's exact location." Kyle was so concentrated on trying to check the deliveries earlier, but with my commands, he really cou

    Matthew Wilson, the son of Dimitri Wilson, has been a great problem not just for the Gregorys but for me as well. The name that I never thought I could hear again that would cause us problems. But Ethan Gregory, however, used the exact same name to alert us of what is happening now. The very same name that had already caused me a lot of trouble in the past is precisely the same name that is continuing to give me a lot of hell right now as I slowly lose my wits and try to locate the love of my life. Kyle and Brit were as astounded by what they heard as I was. How did Matthew Wilson manage to have Ariella if he was supposed to be dead? We genuinely think that my men have already killed him. That was what we all thought. However, at least it does not really look likely that they did, because Matthew Wilson has also come back from the dead, just like me, to unleash more hell in my life than before. I asked, my voice already evoking emotions, "What the bloody hell did you just say? Is Mat

    Waking up out of the deep slumber that I must have just experienced, I bolted out of bed but stopped in my tracks when I realized that I seemed to be in an unfamiliar place. What the hell just happened, and where am I exactly? I try to fathom what is in front of me, but all I obviously understand is that I'm suffering from a throbbing headache with not much of a recall of what just took place. Am I actually drunk? I don't even recall drinking, but did I? I kept having questions in my head, but no answers could be found. I squinted my eyes in an effort to see through the darkness. I am clearly in a bedroom, but whose bedroom is this? Being with Trish seems to be the only event I can actually remember. But I am sure that we are on the porch and not in her bedroom, so did I just fall asleep out there? I went back to bed as I contemplated what was happening at this moment. I am in a dark room; Everly and Jason and none of Elliot's men have appeared, and Trish is also nowhere to be found.

    The one and only thing I can do is scream obscenities and hurl abuse at my men for the relevant data I so desperately have to know at exactly this time. "So what is the update on the intelligence, Kyle? What is taking you so low? Shouldn't your men have reported back to us by now? Is this the quality of work that I am paying for? I don't want stupid people on my crew! It's already been an hour, and we haven't found anything that can help us find her. Dammit!" "And what about you, Briton? Still no reports from those on the streets? None of your men on our post witnessed them fleeing Trish's apartment? I don't understand why none of you can provide concrete information. What's the latest on Everly and Jason? Are they still alive or not? They are the most crucial link that we need in order to locate Ariella. Where the fuck are the details I require from all of you? Fucking shit! All of you are taking so much time on this! Tell everyone to treat this matter with urgency!" And this is ho

    I was too frustrated and angry as we made the journey to the location where our poisoned gang members were discovered. After learning about that vital information, we didn't waste any time and immediately prepared for the trip. I needed my men to survive, otherwise, it would be difficult for us to locate Ariella. We boarded my private aircraft because I wanted to arrive at our destination as quickly as possible. They are miles away from us, and traveling by land would take up most of our time, and at this moment, we can't lose any more time than we already had. I am getting agitated and distraught over everything that is happening. The fact that we haven't yet established whether any of my crew survived simply causes me to become all the more absolutely livid at the Wilsons, especially when I take into account what they could have done to Ari and what they have already done with my men. I kept fighting the urge to hurt Ethan earlier, and that is why it is a good thing that he and h

    In anticipation of the development of our men, we were all pacing back and forth. Our men were transported to a medical facility in one of our zone closest to where they had been found, which is roughly a two-hour drive. Even though that might not have been the wisest course of action, it was the only option available to us given that we could not compromise any of our troops further. And since that time we arrived here, Everly, Jason, and the rest of them have all been on our minds as we anxiously await news regarding them all. We arrived here over an hour ago, and we continue to have no idea what is going on with the two of my best men. And even though five of our men are already out of danger, as is indeed the case, waiting for an update on Jason and Everly, both of whom were in a life-threatening condition, is nerve-wracking. As I try to clear my mind of Jason and Everly, I begin to think about Ari, and the sense of dread and despair that I already feel intensifies. So far, we ha

    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
