Own me Chapter 64: His Rival
Giovanni POV “Darling?.” Celine knocked gently on my door.A smile appeared on my face immediately I saw her and her little protruding belly.I beckoned for her to come to me.“You fell asleep immediately you returned, I guess your flight was stressful.” She massaged my shoulders.“Yea. But all this would be worth it when I can finally get all those contracts. The Russian Mafia already agreed to an alliance, it’s a small gang but it’s a start. I would need much more support if I want to take Alexandra and Theodore down.” I grumbled.Celine opened her mouth to speak then closed it shut immediately, biting her lips nervously.I furrowed my brows in confusion, “Celine, what is it?.”She avoided eye contact with me and fiddled with her fingers.“Don’t get too mad, okay?.” She smiled nervously.I raised a brow, not understanding what she was on about.She sighed and sat next to me.“Aria came to see Paola, she spent the night”I sprang up angrily. “What!, i made it clear she wasn’t allowe

Aria POV“Good morning.” I waved to the receptionist with smiles on my face.Today is my first day at the fine arts academy, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. It’s a good thing I managed to convince Theodore to let me be on my own, without the guards. I just don’t want to attract too much attention to myself, especially since it’s the first day. He agreed reluctantly and told Pancho to drop me off.Honestly, I was a little hurt because I wanted him to drop me off instead. I thought it was because he had to go to the office but Pancho told me his schedule was clear. Now that I even think about it, Theo has been acting weird ever since I came back from visiting Paola and I don’t know why.I sighed and rubbed my wrinkled forehead, I’m probably just stressing over nothing.I walked into the lobby which was filled with students, everyone going about their own business. The place was well decorated with Paintings and different artifacts, a typical art institute.A smile found its
Own me Chapter 66: His Daughter
Ma’am Serena POVMy heart felt heavy as I heard the news about Aria being kidnapped again.Oh lord, why does that poor girl have to go through that fate?. Sometimes I blame myself, if I had told Damien the truth about Aria being his daughter, I’m sure he would have claimed her and things would have been so much different. Me and her mother destined her to a life of suffering.“Make sure no one sees you.” I overheard Giovanni say on the phone as I passed by his room, his door was slightly ajar and instinctively I decided to stop to eavesdrop.“Take her to the abandoned warehouse, I will be right there.” He added, then ended the call.Abandoned Warehouse?, I gasped and immediately threw my hands over my mouth, I scurried away before he would see me. Could he.. could he have kidnapped Aria?, I know he despises her but up to this extent?.I heard the gates opening, I peeped through my window and saw him driving out with a speed.I hurried to his room, it was lock, but it’s a good thing t
Own me Chapter 67: A mother’s mistake
Aria POVMy eyes were swollen due to crying, but I was done with that. I wasn’t just going to sit here and let him decide my fate, I have to find a way to escape. It’s a good thing he didn’t tie my hands.The window was pretty small and protected with bars. I looked around and saw a chainsaw, I carried it, ignoring the weight it pulled on my hand.I have to hurry before he returns. I turned it on and cut out the bars around the window, cutting myself in the process. I tore a part of my dress and tied it around the wound.The window was now free for me to pass through, I pushed myself through the little space till I got out.I stood up from the floor and dusted my dress, without thinking twice, I ran away from the area, not even knowing where I was going to.The place looks deserted, no single soul on the road until I saw a car driving towards me, I waved my hands frantically, hoping the driver would stop.The car stopped and some men came out, along with Dad or I should just rather ca
Own me Chapter 68: Her Plan
Alexandra’s POV Rocco assisted me in getting out of the car and I walked into the abandoned building where Giovanni was kept.After informing Theodore about Giovanni’s where about, I sent my men ahead. They killed all of his men and took him, now I can move on to the next part of my plan.Helping Theodore to get back Aria has no doubt enabled me to win back his trust. This building was one of my husband’s Mafia hideouts, it’s been abandoned since he retired and handed over to Ezekiel.I smirked as I saw Giovanni tied on the chair, he raised his head and scowled at me.“I knew it was you, what are you up to?, why do you have me here!.” He yelled, squirming in the chair.I let out a hysterical laugh and sat on the chair opposite him.“You know Giovanni, you make things so easy for me, because you are so predictable like your father.”“If only Hernando could be so easy as you.” I muttered angrily.“Why did you bring me here Alexandra?.” He groaned.“It was here or the police station, I
Own me Chapter 69: Joy and Pain
Aria’s POV I thought hard on what Theodore said and he was right, both me and Damien deserve the chance to make up for lost time. I decided to return back to the mansion with Theodore.“Theodore?.” I called out, he hummed in response with his eyes on the road.“Why didn’t you tell me my dad tried to sell me to the Venezuela mafia?.” I asked.He sighed slightly. “I didn’t want you to feel bad and again you wouldn’t have believed me.”I rested my head back on my seat, and tried hard not to imagine what would have happened to me if Dad succeeded with his plan.Theodore placed his hand on mine. “But it’s all over now, don’t worry, he won’t be able to harm you anymore.” He comforted and then kissed it.“We are going to find him even if it means searching the ends of the earth.” He gritted.“I wonder who those men were and why they took him, could it be some of his own men too?.” I asked confusedly.He shook his head, “They killed all his men on sight, they may probably one of his numerous
Own me Chapter 70: Connected Hearts.
Aria’s POVI stared into space as my mind lingered on nothing but yet everything. My soul felt so empty.It’s been one month since I found out about my biological dad and Theodore’s betrayal. I left Theodore and moved in with Dad, I thought being away from him would help the pain heal faster but no. I miss him badly and yet I still feel hurt. I try my best to ignore him completely but he isn’t making it easy.He comes to the house several times, requesting to see me, I refused. He isn’t ready to let me go, and honestly, neither am I, but unfortunately things turned out the way they did and I’m left with no choice than this, I don’t think I’m ready to forgive him and I’m not sure I ever will.“Aria.” Fingers snapped in my face, bringing me out of my thoughts. It was Evan.I smiled, Me and Evan became quite good friends since I moved in, and I also take him as my brother. Well, he’s my adoptive brother after all.“Thinking about him again?.” He asked.I sighed and leaned back on the ch

Alexandra POV“I did as you say ma’am, i sent the address of the warehouse where kept Giovanni to Hernando through an anonymous.” Rocco informed, though I could hear the confusion clearly in his voice.I took a sip out of the wine, twirling the cup on my hands."Though I’m confused to why you would allow Hernando to save his brother.” He continued I smiled a little,"Oh Rocco, I don’t plan on allowing that at all , It’s all part of the plan I told you about.”He nodded slightly in understanding.I placed the cup on the side stool and stood up, walking to the balcony, he followed."You see, all this while I have been trying to use Theodore to get rid of the Romanos, but I think I almost forgot he's also one, he doesn't know yet but blood is thicker than water, he just keeps holding back." I explained."Well, also because of that wrench, Aria, but now that she's gone, it will be easier for me to manipulate him fully.""What do you plan to do ma'am?, he doesn’t seem to fully believe Gio

*One Year Later*Tears welled up in Theodore's eyes as he gently placed the flower on the grave. "It's over, mom," he whispered, his voice trembling. He reached out and intertwined his hands with Aria's, seeking comfort and support."Do you think she's proud of me?" he asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.Aria nodded, her eyes filled with love as she cupped Theodore's cheeks in her hands. “Of course, she is, my love. Despite everything, you came out stronger and a much better man. I'm sure her soul is finally at peace now," she reassured him, offering a warm smile.*** A year had passed since Alexandra died and the Romanos were finally free from their nightmare.They were all happy to have each other in the end, even though they had lost some.They mourned their losses but were also grateful for their blessings over the year.Aria gave birth to the most adorable twins, a precious little boy and a beautiful baby girl. The joy of motherhood overwhelmed her, as she and Theodo
Own me Chapter 96: Love Wins (Finale)
Theodore POV“What sick game are you trying to play right now!.” I glared at Alexandra, even though I was very much weak.The beating I had received from Alexandra men that night had injured me severely and also My attempt to break free from the ropes, had me seriously bleeding out from my wrist, but I could feel it already getting loose.“You are right, it’s a game that will be played on my terms.” She sneered and pulled out a remote detonator.My pulse quickened as my eyes flew wide open in realization.She chuckled at my reaction.“Your guess is correct Theodore.”“It’s a remote detonator and it has a timer. Right now, all of your family is gathered at the Romano mansion, and a bomb has been planted there, just waiting for me to tick it off.” She concluded with a satisfactory smile.“What!.” Aria exclaimed in panic.“Hey!, This wasn’t our agreement. I told you my dad said out of this!.” Evan raged.She clicked her tongue as she shook her head, feigning pity. “Well Evan, I guess yo
Own me Chapter 95: Taking the risk (Semi finale)
Alexandra POVI groaned painfully as the doctor wrapped the bandage around my arm.“Take these prescribed medications and you will be fine.” He advised and walked away.“Who is he? Do you trust him?.” Evan queried.I nodded. “Dr. Ivan has always been my personal doctor, moreover he was blindfolded while coming here.” He sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration,“So what now?, the AISE are still on your trail, it won’t be long before they..” “They won’t find me.” I cut him off from his rambling.“How are you so sure?, we might be in a different house, but we are still in Corleone. What are we still doing here when we should be leaving instead!.” He grumbled.“Come with me.” I instructed.I led him into the study and walked towards the bookshelf, pushing it backwards and revealing the stairs leading down to the underground.“an underground?.” He exclaimed in shock.I walked down the stairs and he followed suit.“I bought this place immediately I moved to Corleone, just i

Theodore POVPaola fell asleep on my arms and I placed her gently on her bed, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.“Theodore?.” I turned around to see Hernando, in a very disturbed manner.“What happened?.” I asked worriedly.“I just received a call from Damien and the AISE, Rocco is dead, apparently he self strangled himself this morning.” He informed.“Shit.” I cursed, running my hands through my hair.“I can’t believe he killed himself rather than betray Alexandra.” “He was really loyal to her.” He replied.“It doesn’t matter. We are attacking Alexandra today.” I affirmed through gritted teeth.He nodded in agreement.“The AISE is ready–“He was suddenly cut off by Aria loud shriek.She ran towards me with teary eyes.“Theo!!!.” I caught her in my arms.“Hey, hey!, what’s wrong?.” “Becca.. we can’t find her.” She stuttered, with a trembling voice.“What?.” I mumbled with worry.“I went to her room to check up on her but she wasn’t there, then I called Pancho t
Own me Chapter 93: Grief
Martina POV“No!.” I trashed my dressing table.My heart welled up with so many emotions- Anger, regret, pain.I remembered everything vividly like I was actually reliving it.Walking into the house that night, to see Dad’s bloody head in a box being carried away by the guards I still didn’t want to believe, even though I looked around and literally saw mom’s broken soul. I still tried to convince myself that it wasn’t him, that my eyes were playing tricks with me.But it was very much true, no matter how many times I blinked and looked back into the box, I still saw it.I just couldn’t get the image of his head in that box out of my head.This was definitely Alexandra. Suddenly, an overwhelming anger filled me, I didn’t care about Aria or even Theodore anymore. All the urge I felt to destroy Aria was now doubled and was now focused on Alexandra instead, now more than ever, I need to make her pay for everything she has done to my family.“Martina.” Aria called softly as she entere

Theodore POV“Hey Princess.” I kissed Aria’s forehead gently stirring her awake.I got home late last night after talking with Damien and she had already slept.Her eyes fluttered open slowly and then widened immediately they met mine.“Theo!, you are back.” She squealed, wrapping her arms around me.“Someone missed me.” I teased with a low chuckle.“Of course I did.” She blushed, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Then she bit her lips nervously.“So what did you find out?.” She asked as her eyes glinted with curiosity.I sighed tiredly and explained everything Aunt Agatha told us to her.“Oh my.” She gasped in shock as her face clouded with pity.“Alexandra is really broken.” She mumbled.“Yes, but it doesn’t give her the right to hunt innocent people though.” I argued.“Innocent people I dragged into this mess.” I added with a frown, and looked away in guilt.“Hey.” She turned me so I could face her,“You can’t blame yourself for her actions. They had nothing to do with you.

Luciana POV“Thank you.” I said to the movers that brought in my Sofa and closed the door after they left.I finally moved to my apartment in Milan today, after much stalling. I started having second thoughts at the last minute, maybe because of Simon.No matter how much I try, I can’t shake off that kiss from my mind, I couldn’t deny the chemistry between us and It seemed like he couldn’t either.I shook my head, heaving a deep sigh. I might just be imagining that he felt that way.He was so in love with Aria for a long time, it’s not something he could easily get over. Even if he did, I don’t think I could stand a chance, maybe if I wasn’t the granddaughter of his family’s greatest enemy, things would be easier.I fell on the sofa groaning tiredly. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m here and he’s there, we would never work out, That was the bitter realization and I should get used to it.>I decided to keep myself busy by arranging the apartment, hopefully I get to finish today because

Theodore POVWe finally got to La Morra, it was evening just like Hernando had predicted.Through the address Giovanni gave us, we located Aunt Agatha’s house. It was indeed in a secluded area.I stopped the car and we both got down.Hernando walked over to the backseat to bring out the gift basket we bought for her.“Come on Son.” He beckoned as he walked towards the house.and surprisingly, it didn’t bother me when he called me son, it didn’t repulse me like before. Maybe it’s because of yesterday night.After what happened, I could feel us getting closer and weirdly enough, I loved it.I followed him and we got to the front door. I proceeded to knock but the door creaked open on its own. “Oh.” Hernando shrugged and walked in, I followed suit.We both looked around the house, it did look old, almost falling apart but it felt like it gave her peace.She must really despise her son, if she had to come all the way here from him.“It doesn’t look like we are breaking in right?.” Hernan

Martina POV“Martina?.” Paola called, a smile plastered on her face as she walked towards me. I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I held my chest, I could feel my body moving again.I had such a fright, I thought it was Ma’am Serena.“What are you doing in Ma’am Serena’s room?.” She questioned, tilting her head to the side and twisting her little mouth.“Uh…um, I came to see her, I had a surprise for her.” I lied, stuttering a little.“Surprise?.” She squealed excitedly, I placed my finger over her mouth immediately.“Shh!, you will ruin it.” I chided, the squatted down to her level.“Yes Paola, a surprise, so you can’t tell her I was in here, okay?.” I cajoled gently. she nodded in agreement and then skipped away giddily.I sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly.Now I have to hurry. I rushed towards Hernando’s office, making sure no one was around, I unlocked the door and went in.“Where do I start from now?.” I grumbled, rubbing my chin in confusion.I checked
