Ari has been estranged from her cheating ex-fiance for about three weeks now. And those three weeks with her have confirmed that we do indeed have a connection. Everything has been going so well for the both of us that I am anxious for it to be official between us right now.

"What's the matter with you, Elliot?" Kyle's voice resonated through my ears, compelling me to stop thinking about my future relationship with Ariella.

"What?" I snarled, clearly irritated that he dared to interrupt my focus.

He cynically reiterated, "I'm telling you not to make any plans with your pretend girlfriend tomorrow evening because we're meeting with the elders. And right now, that is one of our priorities."

"Fine. I heard you the first time, but whatever floats your boat."

"What are you pondering right now? Don't tell me you're embroiled in a lover's spat even before your relationship with Ari even commences." Kyle has a penchant for aggravating me with his derogatory slurs and behavior. And he does

    I can't stop the thrill I'm experiencing as soon as I hang up the phone. When I converse with Elliot, I always seem to have a wide range of emotions and good feelings that warm my heart. Yes, Elliot has been by my side for about three weeks since my separation from Matt. He impressed me by devoting most of his days to me. Despite his hectic schedule, he always finds the time to be with me and ensure that I should have moved on already from Matt. And I'm grateful beyond words for Elliot's presence in my life. I managed to block Matt after receiving his last text message. It's pointless to ponder what happened to our relationship. There is nothing I can do about his decision to go astray. It was his choice, and while I am devastated and disappointed, I am seeing it as fate's way of telling me that perhaps Ethan was right all along. Elliot and I were always destined to be together. And a part of me genuinely hopes this is the case. I don't want to come across as a slut and a bitch who

    I suddenly heard the phone ring, but I didn't move. I'm too exhausted to budge and perhaps even squint my eyes. I felt Elliot move as I was wrapped in his arms. I immediately felt the loss of his warmth when he pulled his arms away from around my waist. The phone continued to ring, and I could feel him reaching for it. Then I heard him answer it in a matter of seconds, "What?" He asks softly, but his tone of voice indicates his displeasure. He doesn't answer after that initial greeting, so whoever is calling him may be giving him a hard time. He just keeps listening to the other person on the line. "What time is it, hmm?" he queried once again. I continue to pretend to be asleep, but I am actually eavesdropping on his conversation. I don't want him to leave immediately today, and since it's the weekend, I'm planning to ask him to stay with me so we can spend the day together. "I'm already awake, asshole. I told you, I didn't plan to spend the night here, but I'm just too exhausted.

    My entire day was consumed by work. I can't stay with Ari as much as I'd like to because we have a lot of significant shipments this weekend. Despite my heavy workload, I make a conscious effort to message Ari every hour. What for? simply because I wanted to do things that her ex could not seem to do. I wanted her to know how special she is to me, and that no matter what really is going on in my life, I will almost always favor and choose her. And this is something that Matt wasn't able to do for her. And I can't stop smiling when I think about the make-out sessions we had last night, which nearly took my breath away. Ari's sweet kisses gradually warmed my heart and, as I kept repeating, those sinful kisses would be my sweet surrender. "Wipe that fuckig grin off your gorgeous face, lover boy," Kyle says. "Do you realize that we'll be meeting your father? And that is not how you should conduct yourself in front of him. Elliot, the heartless and merciless mafia boss, should be let loo

    Following our conversation, my father and Kyle's father both left immediately. I massaged my temples as I took a deep breath and leaned back in my chair. We had another round of hellish discussion, but I was relieved that we were finally getting to the bottom of things and starting to see through this damn ordeal. "Briton has inquired as to our activities for tonight. He just finished his work checking in the brothel and is on his way now to the warehouse. So how about us having a drink to celebrate our mini accomplishments for tonight?" Kyle wants to know. "As much as I want to, man, I can't tonight," I said with a grin. "I'm going back to Ari's place." He leaned in close to the table, his eyes glared at me. "Again? You are going back to her apartment, again, tonight? Elliot, do you already reside there? Have you recently move in with her?" he adds cynically. "I haven't. And if anyone's going to move in, it'll definitely be her moving in with me at my house. But for tonight, Conne

    My eyes darkened as soon as I heard Matt's name, and all I could see was blood red. I can feel my labored breathing as I grip the handgun concealed in my jeans. "What the hell is that fool doing out there at Ari's apartment? Then why hadn't any one of Briton's men informed me about something like this earlier? What happened to Briton? Where the fuck is that asshole right now? Tell him to meet me because I am compelled to graze him and his men with a bullet right now." I was fuming mad as I said those words. "Leo, drive fast or I'll shoot you as well." I added, causing Leo to rev the vehicle as quickly as he could. Kyle only scratched his head at me without uttering anything. He is aware that if he says something that I don't want to hear, he'll be the first one to bear my wrath. "What the hell is he doing there at Ari's? How could he get into the house without any of us knowing? What happened to Chloe?! Why didn't she inform any of you that the wuss had escaped her?" My voice could

    "Ari, baby, let's talk about this first. Let's sort the issue out between us. Don't be like this." Elliot urges, trying to do his best to somehow get Ariella to speak with him. "Elliot, go and leave now! Leave me alone. I don't want to see you or talk to you." Ariella responded through tears and muffled cries. "You don't mean that, Ari, sweetie. Let's talk about this now. Let me explain everything first." Elliot may be unable to tolerate Ari's contemptuous attitude, but he needs to speak with her and explain everything to her. He can't let Matt win yet another game. Ariella shrieked and pushed him with all her might, "I said, leave me the fuck alone, Elliot. What is so hard to understand?" Elliot is undoubtedly heartbroken to see Ari in such a situation. He is actually attempting to regulate his own impulses so as not to add to the problems he has at hand. He needs to start thinking clearly and firmly and let Ari know that he couldn't agree with her leaving her at this moment. "Ar

    Matt hugged her passionately as soon as he walked inside her flat. She attempted to push him away, but the loving and comforting embrace from Matt made her feel guilty. When they were still together, she was remorseful for sneaking kisses with Elliot behind his back. Ari also cheated on Matt and she knows this. "Please, Ari, love, listen to me first." "Matt, what are you even doing here? I told you I'd never want to see you again. You don't need to explain anymore. I get it, a long-distance relationship will never work for us." "I love you so much, Ari, and I seriously cannot believe you're going to just leave me without hearing my side. Don't you think you are being unfair to me? I didn't even know what I did wrong, and you just decided for the both of us that you wanted out. You are killing me, Ari. Do you not realize how much I love you? Please, let me explain. I have something really important to say to you." She can sense Matt's frustrations in his tone, and while she's not sur

    Outside Ari's apartment, Elliot and his men, including Kyle and Briton, lingered. He's befuddled, hurt, and furious. His mixed emotions are disabling him from thinking clearly. When Matt stepped outside of Ari's apartment, it was a good thing Kyle and Briton were strong enough to stop him from unleashing his wrath on the motherfucker. Now, after trying to calm his nerves, Elliot seems unable to speak; he has no idea why his plan has gone very wrong again. Tonight was meant to be the night when Ari and he could finally be together. But things just happen, and he finds himself in his car, waiting for her to let him defend himself and hear his side of the story. He leaned back in his seat and pressed his knuckles together. He's once again itching to vent his hatred and fury. He wants to attack someone so he may forget about his own wounded and shattered heart and ego. His two closest friends are in the car with him, speechless and concerned for him. No one really expected Matt to mount

    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
