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
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
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
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
Theodore POVI closed my laptop and stood up from the chair. I plan on taking Renee to the hospital today.My door opened and Pancho walked in with an envelope in his hands."What's that?." I nodded at him."I don't know, it was mailed to you." He replied and handed it over to me.I opened it up and looked at the contents, it was an old disc tape."What's this?." I muttered, examining it carefully."Why would anyone mail a tape this old to you?." Pancho asked, confusedly.I walked towards my tape player and inserted the tape. It rolled for a while then played.'But do you think you can get away with it?' A voice which i don't seem to recognize, said.'if I wanted to, I could get rid of the whole Galterios.' Another voice said and I recognized it perfectly well. It was Giovanni.My interest suddenly peaked as i sat up and listened closely to the tape, same as Pancho.The tape continued playing.'but killing Ezekiel was the main plan, without him, the Galterios are nothing.' Giovanni ad
Alexandra POVI trashed my dressing table."What do you mean Hernando called the police?." I yelled."I did as you instructed ma'am, I shot Hernando on sight, but the Police barged in just immediately." He replied."No, you moron!, You didn't follow my instructions. You were only to shoot Hernando after Theodore has killed Giovanni." I groaned.He bowed his head in shame."I apologize ma'am." He muttered."Just get out of my sight!." I barked, rubbing my forehead in frustration.I sat on the bed angrily, clenching my dress in my palm.I should have known Theodore wouldn't have the balls to kill Giovanni, I should have just done the work myself and implicated him.It frustrates me to the bone to realize my plan keeps failing. It's high time I stop trying to use him and act myself.I must destroy the Romanos.*Hernando POV"Aria, I'm fine, but you need to go home and take some rest." I said with smiles.The nurses said she slept here and it seems she's planning to do it again.She held
Renee POVI packed my clothes from the wardrobe and dumped them into my box.After kissing Marcello that night, I was very much convinced of my feelings for him, and I didn't want to jeopardize it in anyway.Mom rushed into my room. "Renee, what do you think you are doing right now?." She chided, pulling me away from the box.I snatched my hand away from her grip. "Mom, I'm sorry, I can't carry on with this plan. I'm going to confess to Theodore even if it costs me everything.""Renee, what is wrong with you!, Reason with your head, not your heart. Do you really think you love Marcello!." She yelled.“He makes me happy!, for the first time in my miserable life, I felt happy with a man, a man who loves me, a man who wants me. Don't you want my happiness, mom?." I reasoned.Her face fell into sadness, she tried to approach me, but then Alexandra walked in with a wicked smile on her face."What do you want, you witch." Mom attacked her."Renee, at this point, you should listen to your mo
