"To be fair to them, Ari, it was not even their responsibility anymore." Markus is attempting to reason with me once again, but I'm still not having any of it. "I mean, as you say, we are really no longer allies. You are not even considered friends, so why do you expect so much from Elliot's men?"

"That's a load of bullshit, Markus!" I exclaimed. I know he is right to say that I am expecting too much from Elliot's men and even from Elliot himself, but what am I to do? I need answers, not just to be thrown out in the dark again.

"If it is him, then it is him. They hid it away from us, and we could not do anything about it. It was their choice and decision to make, and that is beyond our call to action."

"Fuck, Markus! I won't be duped into falling for another deception. If that was him, it just means one thing: they lied to me again!"

"For the life of me, Ari, please just stop whatever you are thinking and planning," Markus said as he held me on my shoulders and turned me toward him

  • My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss   Chapter 88

    What the fuck is all of this? Why is she even doing this? And how in the world did she get this far? I have really been overwhelmed with questions and confusion since the very first exact moment I saw her again. I keep getting caught up with the memories that I've been trying to push away. And even to this day, I'm not sure how I managed to find the mental fortitude and the strength to leave her and stay away from her. And then again, there she was. In the flesh, in front of me, looking incredibly seductive and pretty damn hot. And I just have to fight this feeling that is taking over me. How can it be that she manages to look just as feisty and inviting at the very same time? She seems to have been looking tough by that get-up but still can look as delicate as she was earlier when she called out to me. The fuck! Her voice. It will always bring me to my knees. As soon as we were out of the cafe, I was confronted by perplexing stares from both Kyle and Brit, who I happened to know wou

    Instead of being extremely fearful and concerned with what I'm doing to him, Kyle starts laughing heartily at me. "I got you, Elliot! I knew it from the start!" What, therefore, can I expect from him? He certainly is adept at finding the right moment to incite me all the damn time. "Even if you don't admit it, you and we do realize that it's still her. Contrary to what you keep on trying to tell us, you haven't entirely forgotten about her. You are indeed a big, damn, liar!" He continues to look at me with a deranged grin while saying that. "Just what the hell are you talking about, Kyle?" I retreated and put aside my gun. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't kill him because he always speaks the truth to me. "Put an end to the absurdity. All I want to know is what she is doing there when she isn't supposed to be there in the first place. And why did none of you tell me about her being there?" "Why was she not supposed to be there in the first place? What problem would it be if she was th

    "I seem to have no way of knowing for sure how this would work effectively. And what I mean is any plan that you are thinking about right this moment." While we were still trying to decide my next steps and actions, Markus responded by saying to me, "I honestly believe Elliot's gang and even Elliot himself are really not that incredibly stupid to just not find out exactly about all of us. I am sure they are well aware of our existence already, or are they not?" It really is just Markus and me who are conscious of the fact of Elliot's sudden appearance, as well as the men who were also there with us. And I made sure to get a solemn promise from all of them to keep everything a private matter, especially from Ethan. I have not really told anyone else in my family about Elliot being alive yet. "How did the intel go? Did you manage to find out anything about all of this? Am I correct in thinking that everyone else is able to keep track that he is still alive and that we are the only one

    My mind is working on this and I am unable to keep coming up with a far more practical and feasible solution to the situation I am in. Then an idea struck me in an instant, and a smile painted my face outright.Markus looked at me and scrunched his brows as I muttered, "The A-Hotels." "What?" He poses a perplexing question to me. "The A Hotels. You're completely correct. We can't approach this the way the mafia often do because they definitely have access to advanced information and a quick and efficient means of learning about all of us in a snap. We should be using their legitimate business approach just because of that. Therefore, from my point of view, it would indeed be through A-Hotels that I could complete this plan of mine." "What course of action do you have in mind?" "Simple. I will reserve a room at his hotel. I complain about the bad and unruly service. I will insistently declare that, I demand the owner talk to me and appease me. And the owner would be none other than E

    Without so much as trying to knock to even let me know that he was already here, Kyle stormed into my office at A-Hotel and started speaking in a loud manner, "She's here." I quickly arched my brow in his direction after looking up from the paperwork I was presently working on. He affirmed what he had indirectly said to me, "She is over here at the hotel today." I pretended that I was completely indifferent to what he was talking about, even though I correctly identified the "she" he was making reference to. "To which "she" or any person are you making reference to?" I managed to answer, shifting my attention back to the documents I was currently working on, "I do know quite a lot of women who come in and out here at the hotel to see me. Any particular one are you alluding to?" "You appear to understand to whom I am referring. But just in case you got amnesia, I'll say it to you. Ariella Gregory." Kyle managed to answer with a smug grin as he decided to sit in the chair in front of m

    "Are you certain that you have no concerns about her being here with her new lover boy? Elliot, it would seem to me that you are battling with yourself again, based on what I can see right now from your actions." And Kyle is reading me like an open book again, which I detest the most. Because of how well he knows me, he can tell what I am feeling and thinking even when I don't say a word. Again, I snarled at Kyle, who really doesn't know when to stop being a douche. "I do not really care at all. Consider leaving now so I can work!" I then demanded in my fiercest, most autocratic tone. "It's just about midday," Kyle says. "I initially thought we would also be inspecting the warehouses today." I can only really huff automatically in direct reply to Kyle's remark. I did say that to him, though. But knowing that Ariella is still here actually made me feel like I should really not leave as well. I must, however, continue fighting these emotions. I know that. I have been able to do it by

    "The great, Elliot Allister! It's amazing to see you to this day, alive and well. How about the afterlife? You must have been really powerful to be given a chance to be back here on earth." Ariella started talking sarcastically to me. "How long has it been? A year, right? A year of you dying, then eventually being alive again." As Ariella began to question me, all I could do was just try to keep looking at her blankly in the vain hope that Kyle would suddenly show up and intervene to be able to save me before I even started to realize what I had been claiming to have been doing and do otherwise instead. "How did you end up here? Who are you with?" I responded back as nonchalantly as I could. "Pumpkin." The man behind her hissed in her ear as he continued to hold Ari by the waist. I could only really send a death glare at the asshole in the gloom because of his actions. Despite my best efforts, I can barely keep up with the sight in front of me. I am so marking this asshole's face at

    After giving out the others and waiting for Kyle's reports as he continuously taps on his phone, I take the time to look for Ari. Kyle also discreetly casts a glance at the men. "Where the fuck is she?" I brought it into question because I had a sudden suspicion that there would be a threat and she may be caught in the middle again. Ariella has a habit of getting caught in the crossfire for unknown reasons. "Don't ever let her out of your sight. Tell her to make it back inside the hotel. It will be safer for her if she's inside now." Kyle furrowed his brow at me, "Elliot, she's with her boyfriend. She is therefore no longer under our care or accountability. Aren't you just forgetting? You are the one who repeatedly told us that there ought to be absolutely nothing to link us to them moving forward. She is already her boyfriend's duty and obligation. Now let's get a move on. I'll get further intel on the warehouse. Brit is also already on his way, along with some of the men. We will ke

    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
