"Give me a break, Matt! Please let me go!" Ari's tears are starting to show up. Her anxiety because of her own life, as well as her brother's, is driving this. Amidst her fear, she is blaming herself and her actions. Everything started because of her. "Ariella, you'll be the one to give me a break. I've been keeping up with your rash and brat attitude for quite a while now. Good thing I've had my fair share of enjoyment when I'm taking you in bed!" "Asshole! I hate you. Let me go!" Ariella is trying her hardest to break free from his grip, but she is having a hard time. "I sorry, my love. But no, it can not be done. Until I say otherwise, you are mine. And you will continue to be mine or your brother will die!" Elliot has had enough of the fucking conversation. He doesn't want to hear any more of Matt's fucking blabbering. And more than anything, he can not see Matt hurting Ari anymore. "Any clear shots?" He asked his men. "Negative. He is using her as a cover. We have to divert h
"Oh, shit! What the hell is happening to you, lady love? Ari, wake up!" Everyone became numb as Brit's voice resounded in the earpiece. They were all worried about Ariella and what might have happened to her. "What the hell is happening over there, Briton?" Elliot's anxious voice sounded as he asked in between his rampage. "Your lady love is down, boss! She suddenly fainted and I don't know why." "Fucking bullshit! Enough of the games!" Elliot ordered as he kept firing Matt's guys. He continued to charge forward, killing and shooting everyone in his way. He needed to get to Matt and fucking kill him off. "Kill the asshole!" "Don’t you dare! No one kills him!" Kyle stepped into the conversation as he and Elliot kept fighting back to back. He needed to remind his boss of the need to keep the sucker alive. "Let him stay alive so Ethan and his men can collect information. We also need him to gather more info on Lucio and their scheming against us." "Kyle, you asshole! How dare you def
"Ari, before you get all outraged and furious with Elliot, let me start with you. Why and how could you even think about running away from your family? I know you're upset about everything, but what you did just added to a lot of complications. There seems to be, undoubtedly, a lot for us to discuss. And you know very well that this is not something that we would tolerate you doing while sitting down." Ethan stated sternly, causing Kyle and Brit to snicker at her. Ari knows her mistakes, but Ethan could have waited for them to be alone before scolding her. All she could do was glare at the two of Elliot's trusted men, who, despite having saved her and risking their lives for her, were already starting to annoy her. "Yes, sweetheart. You really do have to spend too much time explaining why you did the things that you did." Elliot mumbled, "I don't like this at all. I don't like it that you have endangered yourself." "Before the reinforcements arrived," Kyle stated, "Let's head up. Y
Elliot's eyes narrowed and his face contorted with displeasure when he heard Dimitri Wilson say such things and order him to step out of the way. Does he honestly believe that after they have kidnapped the love of his life, he will walk away and leave them just like that? Do the father and son pair truly believe they can just get away with plotting and exploiting his own gang to hunt down Ari's family? In that regard, they are both incredibly stupid to think that way. Everyone became silent with the exchange of words between the two bosses. Ari's father is as speechless as his son, because their top priority is Ariella, and they are leaving everything for Elliot at this juncture. "Walk away? Do you really believe that walking away from all of your idiotic shenanigas will be as simple as just following a word from you? You, asshole, have made these last several months of my life a living misery by using my group as a pawn in your vendetta. How dare you send a spy to my shipments if th
"Elliot, how dare you!" Ari yelled at him, her rage is evident in her tone. Brit is making a concerted effort to subdue the defiant woman with him. She needs to stop, otherwise, she can cause more problems in the agreement between the bosses and endanger them all the more. Brit whispered to Ari through clenched teeth, "Lady love, keep a cool head and shut the fuck-up, will you? Avoid putting yourself in much more trouble than what we already have because of you. Let the boss come to an agreement with them, and you just have to simply stay put and zip it." Elliot disregarded Ari and Matt's holler. He just hopes that Brit can pacify Ari and stop her from causing any more trouble for them at the moment. He shot Ethan a glance, who only nodded at him, agreeing with his decision to back away and keep Ariella safe. "Asshole! Did you just hear what your jackass of a boss said? He is sending my father and brother into a fight without backup while keeping me here with you! How dare he do tha
"Take comfort in the fact that Matt won't cause you any further hassle. I will ensure that my son stays away from Ariella." Dimitri assures Elliot. All he needs is the boss and underboss of Gregory, and after getting his retribution, he will eventually form connections with Elliot. He won't even allow Matt to pursue the woman because he doesn't want to incur Elliot's displeasure and wrath. "Good. Hand him over to his father." Elliot orders his men to shove Matthew over to Dimitri's men and says, "Trail them until they leave our territory." "Elliot, this is not yet over. I'm taking her back from you! She's mine!" Matt growled. "Are you putting me under threat?" Elliot snarled back at him. "You, stupid! Be quiet! Don't give me any more trouble." Dimitri gave his son a slap behind the head. He does not want Elliot to doubt him much more. In the future, he will need Allister's. He motioned for his men to take his son into the vehicle. Everything went well, and now it is his time to fa
A bucket of water was poured across Ethan's face, jerking him up to wake from the restless slumber he had succumbed to. He slowly opened his eyes to see two men in front of him throwing water at him. The rope tying him in place prevented him from moving, despite his attempts to free himself. "It's nice of the underboss to be awake now." One of them started to say, immediately followed by their menacing laughter. "You've been really sluggish to keep on falling asleep. Is that how you are supposed to be, boss?" The other one sarcastically asks. As he searches for his father, Ethan glances at his side. He was hauled into a room with him just before he passed out from exhaustion and pain. Dimitri's men beat them relentlessly, beginning in the car and continuing until they were brought into that cramped room. And as part of his gang training, he never displayed any aches and pains, regardless of the fact that he was gradually losing it on the inside. "Where the hell is my father?" He gr
"As I told you, I don't want any of these things. You promised to give me Ariella after this is all done, and that is all I want. But what did you do? You handed her over to Allister!" Matt spat. "Ariella has already fulfilled her role for us as a lure. She is therefore no longer a viable option for our retaliation, but we can still use her as a tool if we want to start working with Elliot in the foreseeable future. So, instead of focusing on how you feel and your sour sentiments, you should consider how you might forge alliances with the biggest and strongest adversary available, like Allister. We need him to continue thriving." Matt is unable to say anything but shakes his head at his father. His bargain with him was not supposed to work out this way, and he feels misled. And at this point, all he wanted was for Ariella to come back to him. And he'll make absolutely sure he'll still have her at the end of all this. "What do you plan on doing with them now?" Simply trying to change
Finally, the story has come to an end. Apologies, as it took longer than I had expected because of a lot of circumstances and my busy schedule.

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
