Pain

Theodore POV “Is the file ready?” I asked the personal investigator.He placed it on front of me, I opened it. It was truly her. ‘Ariabella Isabel Romano’, the first daughter of the Romanos’. I squeezed my eyes tightly and clenched my fists tightly. Then I stood up and walked to the glass window, looking at her necklace in my hands. It’s finally time for me to get my revenge. I placed it in my pocket and dismissed the investigator. Just then my best friend and right hand man, Pancho, walked in. “Hey grumpy.” He joked. Pancho has been my friend from childhood.We practically grew up together, I didn’t see anyone to make fit my right hand man except him because I trust him so much . Pancho is a skilled mafiaoso, dangerous too, but he is real playful, he is the only one that manages to get on my nerves all the fucking time. “What do you want Pancho?” I groaned.“I just want to hang out with my buddy.” He grinned, I raised my brows in suspicion“We can hit the club, get some lad

Business dinner

Theodore POV I arrived at the Romano mansion with Pancho and walked inside.My eyes immediately landed on Aria, who stood a few meters away from the door.She had a shocked expression on her face which probably means she remembered me. I bit the inside of the cheek to stop myself from smirking.I allowed my eyes to check her out subtly. She wore a blue dress that hugged her curves really well. Her hair was let down in waves. She was beautiful. A frown formed on my face as I found myself admitting that.“Mr De’leon, you are welcome.” Giovanni’s wife, Celine, welcomed me with a broad smile on her face. “We have been expecting you. Come on, let’s eat and then we can proceed to business.” Giovanni added.I cleared my throat and diverted my gaze from Aria to him. He had a stupid grin on his face,I twitched my jaw and clenched my fists to prevent myself from beating him up to a pulp right here.“Alright.” I simply said.Soon, we all settled at the table. I sat opposite Aria and she look

Marriage?

Aria POV I sat on the kitchen stool, my palm on my cheek as I stared at nothing in particular. Ugh!, why do I feel this way.I can’t get Mr stranger out of my head, the way he touched my skin, it gave me tingles . My cheeks became hot, I’m sure they are red by now . “Huh, what’s got you all dreamy?.” Becca teased me. Becca is the niece of Ma’am Serena, she went away for a little while but now she’s back.She’s my bestfriend and well my only friend. I blushed harder, trying to hide it with my hair.“nothing.” “Don’t Tell me nothing girl, your cheeks are all red and your eyes are so dreamy.” She pointed out with a knowing look. “Come on, spill.” She urged, poking me playfully.I chuckled and released a short sigh.She won’t let this go until I tell . “Uhm, I met a man.” I informed, playing with my fingers.“Really? When, how?.” She squealed excitedly.“Shh, they might hear you.” I panicked. She threw her hands up in surrender and then scooted closer to me.“Alright, fine, but

I mentally rolled my eyes wishing we would just get this over with . Aunt Salma cleared her throat and spoke up,“so where is our bride?”“Oh, Celine dear, please call her in.” He beckoned to his wife . The door opened, but it wasn’t Aria. It was Martina, their second daughter. My jaw clenched in anger, what does he think he’s trying to do?.“What is this Mr Romano?” I asked coldly.

Wedding disaster.

Aria POVThe day is finally here.I stroked my hands over the wedding dress and smiled.I sighed as I sat down. What will I give to have my mom here with me? I wondered sadly, blinking back the tears threatening to fall.I walked to the kitchen. “Good morning,” I smiled widely at Ma’am Serena and Becca. “Morning, dear,” Ma’am Serena smiled back. “Morning to the latest bride in town,” Becca squealed. I chuckled. “Is there anything I can help with?” I offered. “What nonsense, girl? Today is your wedding day, you are absolutely doing nothing but looking beautiful,” Ma’am Serena refuted.“But I…” She cut me off. “No, dear, this is your special day, a day every girl dreams of from the day she was born,” she argued, then flashed me a warm smile.Instinctively, I leaned in to hug her. “Thank you so much for everything,” I whispered, my voice breaking down at the end.

Accident

Simon POV“No, Aria!" I yelled as I saw them drive away.I pushed him away, grabbed my gun, and shot it in the air,"Don't try to stop me, I'll hurt you," I warned him as I headed to my car.Everyone came out now, probably because of the loud gunshot."What's happening, Simon?" Uncle shouted, walking towards me."Don't stop me, Uncle. I'm going to get her," I argued.Then a loud shriek came out, diverting us from our talk."No!""Paola, please open your eyes, please," Martina cried.We all rushed to where she was. Paola sprawled out on the floor, blood coming out from the side of her head."Paola!" Aunt Celine wailed, pulling Paola’s little unconscious body into her arms.I stepped back in shock as I tugged at my hair. What have I done?."Call the ambulance!" Uncle shouted, snatching the gun from me."What have you done, Simon? Just pray nothing happens to her, pray!"The ambulance came, and we all rushed to the hospital.The nurses put her on a stretcher and wheeled her to the operati

A night to remember.

Aria's POVI sensed Theo's anger as he tightly gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white."Theo?" I called out gently."He declared his love for you, Aria," he gritted through his teeth."Th...""How dare he claim what is mine!" He growled, hitting the steering wheel.I flinched at his outburst of anger, he noticed and turned to me, his angry eyes softening."I'm sorry," he apologized, kissing my knuckles softly.I placed my hands on his, "he was drunk, obviously he didn't know what he was saying.""He didn't look drunk. If I wasn't there, he would have taken you," he insisted."But you were there," I retorted, feeling upset."What if I wasn't, Aria!" He yelled slightly "But you were! Simon is like my brother, he won't do anything to hurt me," I yelled back, huffing and facing the window.Suddenly, the car stopped."What happened?" I asked worriedly."I don't know. I will check," he got out of the car and opened the hood.“Nothing is a wrong here!.” He informed and then
