I appreciated that Elliot allowed me to go home after that conversation we had, without much of a debate. When he was done explaining his reasons and excuses, he said, I can go since I am not ready to process everything that he has said. He instructed his driver to bring me to my apartment, which is a good thing because I still don't want to speak with him. My mind and my heart are at odds with all the truth he said today.

Kyle's apologetic expression doesn't make things any better either. I'm sure he's apologizing for his best friend's behavior. Or maybe he's apologetic because he played a significant role in just about everything that has happened. But, whatever his reasons are, I am not prepared to speak with him just the same.

When I came back home, I was completely exhausted and immediately went to my bedroom. Due to the obvious bawling that I've been doing in the past couple of days, my eyes are literally puffy and swollen. I am a mess, but I don't care. I am confused and I'm s

    I made a decision last night. A decision to make a stand for me and make amends for my mistakes. I need to clean up the mess I've caused so that we can all move on with our lives. I've had enough of moping and heartaches. It's time for a fresh start. I went straight to Elliot's office after leaving my house. Trevor was surprised but relieved to see me, as I approached him with puffy eyes. I smiled at him with my lips tightly shut. "Is Elliot inside, Trevor?" "Oh! Yes, he is in with Kyle and Briton, Ms. Ariella. You are welcome to come inside anytime since you don't even need an appointment to see him. I'm certain he'll be thrilled to see you. He's been in a pissy mood for the last couple of days, and I'm hoping you can help him calm down. All the employees here are adamant about seeing him because he is in full rage over little mistakes, but you actually being here will end that negativity." "I'm not sure, though." I said, shaking my head. "But I'll see him now, then." He acknowledg

    The warehouse's mini bar located in Elliot's office is a complete and utter disaster. Shards of glass littered the floor, and Elliot's workplace was completely disorganized. Nobody here wanted to be in close enough proximity to the boss. No one wanted to be seen in the area where he would be. The boss is infuriated and on a murderous shooting rampage since he arrived. He would have almost killed the traitor earlier, but fortunately, several of the men were able to restrain him. But they all got their fair share of curses and punches from the utterly infuriated boss. While Briton was out for a brothel check and Kyle was still in the A-hotel, Elliot arrived with Leo and many bodyguards were in tow. With furrowed brows and shouting curses at everyone, he went straight to the basement and played with their pet. The men were attempting to contact the underboss as well as the capo. They required assistance to tame the boss, but both leaders were busy with work outside the warehouse. Everl

    I inhaled deeply. It's been three days since that awful confrontation with Elliot in his office. I'm not sure how I did it, but I did. And I feel very proud of myself for being able to stick to my convictions no matter how wrecked I was on the inside. After everything that has unfolded, I needed to re-establish myself. I needed to let him go completely out of my life. My heart began to race when I heard a knock on my apartment door. Since three days ago, Elliot and I haven't seen or spoken to each other. He also stopped passing by my house on a daily basis, and I was relieved that he had pretty much given me my privacy back. I won't be feeling guilty as well for not talking to him. But who could possibly be paying me a visit right now? Am I right to assume that it is him? As I opened the door and stood in the doorway, I was startled to see Matt standing outside. I was just about to shut the door when he interrupted me and said, "Ari, please talk to me. Please, just for once, listen t

    Kyle and Briton were unable to do anything but shake their heads and take deep breaths. Elliot's office mini bar had only recently been restored, but it appears that another round of renovations is in the pipeline. In Elliot's office, fragments of broken glasses are scattered on the floor, and alcohol bottles are flying in all directions. Both of them are sitting on the couch, warily, while Elliot is still enraged and letting out steam by totally destroying everything he can get hold of. Kyle is still waiting to see what happens before expressing an opinion, and he needs to make sure that everything that comes out of his mouth will be acceptable to Elliot. Brit nudged him and motioned for him to make a stand and pacify Elliot, but Kyle just scowled at him. How could he when bottles kept flying everywhere? How dare the capo give him orders? He's the fucking underboss. "How the fuck did he get inside Ariella's apartment without your stupid men's knowledge, Briton?" Elliot is being p

    Ari is on her way to the local café, and Matt has just dropped her off because he has another job interview scheduled. She's meeting a friend at a nearby building and decided to have her coffee first. Ari sensed that someone was following her and turned around to see whether anyone was truly following her. When she saw no one, she simply shrugged her shoulders and went into the coffee shop. Ever since she and Elliot ended their friendship, it seems to Ari that someone is always following her, and she has gotten very paranoid. She gasped in shock as she entered the café and then saw Elliot sitting beside a beautiful woman she had never seen before. She is not ready for this scene, and Ariella wished she could turn around again and walk out of the store, but it was too late. "Hey, Ari, what's up? What has brought you here?" When Ari spun around, she saw Briton standing behind her, studying her every move. "Uhm, hi, Brit. Yeah, I was about to grab some coffee and head out to meet a fri

    Kyle exclaimed, "Elliot!" as he strolled inside my office. I tried to look up from the paperwork and documents I was currently dealing with to see such a sneer on his face again. "Did you just forget to knock again? What do you need this time? And where the hell is Briton?" I started asking him questions because of my obvious annoyance. "He's on his way back from the brothel." Kyle said just before he slumped down on the couch, his attention riveted on me. "Will you please just stop staring? You are giving me the goosebumps and it's way too early for you to be shitting me off yet again." I snapped back, then decided to return my concentration to the paperwork I was working on before the pompous ass interrupted me. "I've found something new, El. Revelations that will bring an end to our torment and desperation. The game of hide and seek is finished." He contended, quickly capturing my interest. I shoved the papers aside and gave him a hard, piercing look. In an instant, I ordered

    Shit! That revelation from the Briton took me by surprise, but I can't say I didn't expect something like this. Now I'm gradually piecing together the pieces of my own puzzle. I look back and realize how Matt managed to evade my trap unscathed. I thought that he had a lucky charm, but what he had were connections. He has the same affiliations that I do. And this is why, when I initially met him, I was skeptical. I dislike him not just because he is Ari's boyfriend, but because I suspect that he is concealing something else from her. And he is indeed masking anything and everything from Ari. Or does he? Does Ari know about it? If she does, why can't Ari understand my methods if she can embrace him as a mafia member? Is it because Matt isn't in full control? He is barely just the heir to the throne, whereas I, Elliot Allister, am already the king. I'm at a bit of a loss right now. I don't know what to do or how to react because, after my meaningful conversation with Kyle and Briton,

  • My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss   Chapter 45.1

    Ari's message stirred up complicated feelings in me once more. When it comes to her, I'm still a complete coward. And I'm earnest about admitting it now: if it's Ari, I'll always try to run away from what I've been conditioned to do. I'll unceasingly be challenged with intense emotions because she has the power to evoke the worst and best in me, even if she doesn't really seem to recognize it. And reading the message, a part of me is hoping for something else. Her? Who the fuck is this "her" she's referring to? Is it rational to assume we're talking about Chloe? My heart is pounding faster than it would otherwise be at this moment, and my mind can't get away from the fact that Ari is still bothered by Chloe. I'm strongly contemplating responding to her text. What else would I say, though? Will I still persuade her to maintain her distance from Matt after knowing how angry she is? Will I warn her about Matt's mob connections instead? But I do have my own connections as well. Will I ul

    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
