Gather the men , we are going to attack the Romano mansion.”“But Ma’am , Theodore isn’t aware of this.” He argued.“If I give you an order , you do it ... don’t question me.” I barked.“Yes ma’am.” He hurried away.The men were ready with their guns.They all assembled before me at the Veranda.I stood up , “we are going to catch them off guard ... fire at the house from a distance to make it seem like an attack , am I clear?” I instructed.I turned around to see Mother Esma and Aria , they both looked confused at the scene.I smiled smugly at Aria ,“You didn’t really think i woul

Theodore POVIt's almost midnight now.I couldn’t sleep, I called the Police department to confirm if there was any progress with their search but still nothing.I ran my hands through my hair.Then Noni walked in.“Theodore?.” She called gently.I kept mute and turned the other way backing her.“Grandson, please let’s talk... I know you are angry with me, even though I don’t understand why.You have always planned to attack the Romanos and I tried to do that but you stopped me.” She grumbled.“Did you even consider they are innocent people in that house?.” I asked in disbelief.“You didn’t care about that before, Aria has really messed up with your mind.” She rolled her eyes.I sprang up angrily, “This isn’t about Aria!... It’s about you and what you are hiding from me.” “What are you talking about?” She eyed me.“What other enemies do we have apart from the Romano?... I keep asking but you always deny it.First I was attacked, now Aria was kidnapped!, who is behind all this!.” I ye
Own me Is He Really Leaving?.
Alexandra POVAria keeps messing up my plans.Though I wonder who was behind her kidnap, is there another person plotting against me?I paced around in thoughts.But That isn’t my problem now, I don’t think I have the upper hand on Theodore anymore and it’s all because of Aria.If she’s gone, he would turn to me fully.I sat on my bed as I played with the rosary.That Simon was crazy in love with Aria, he still is.He can be useful in helping me get rid of her.Though it will be impossible for Aria to be with Simon but all I need to do is prove to Theodore that Aria is planning on leaving him.With enough proof, their relationship will be shaken.Theodore is a Possessive man, he doesn’t even want to see Simon around Aria, so the thought of her leaving would really provoke him.I walked outside my room and called out for Rocco.“Yes ma’am.” He approached me immediately.“Tell your men to confirm the location of Simon Romano.” I instructed.After few minutes, he returned with feedback.
Own me Her Deceit.
Simon POVAfter meeting with Alexandra, I thought about what she said carefully.I would want nothing else than for Aria to come with me but it’s time for me to stop deceiving myself.It’s so evident that Aria loves Theodore with all her heart.I will always love her but the best I can do now is just protect her, especially from Alexandra.Alexandra thinks she’s got me on her side, and that’s exactly what I need.So I have decided to tell Theodore about his Grandmother’s plan.What I’m about to do is really hard for me, but for Aria’s sake.I stepped out of my car and walked over to him.He had the usual scowl on his face directed towards me.“Why did you request to meet?.” He asked coldly.I placed my hands in my pants pocket and stood uprightly,“I don’t care about you and as much as I detest you, Aria is someone we both care about and I intend to protect her anyway I can, that’s why you need to know what your grandmother is up to.” He cringed his forehead in confusion,“What are y
Own me Down the Memory Lane.
Theodore POVMe and Aria spent the night at one of my hotels, I didn’t want to go back to the mansion.Seeing Noni right now would just make everything hurt more.She already called several times and I refused to pick, Pancho called too and asked where I was, but I refused to let him know because he would definitely tell grandmother.For now I just want to be alone with the only woman who brings me Peace, Aria.The sun was up already, this is the longest I have slept in a while and it’s all because of her.Sleeping while next to her comes so easily, I don’t even need my sleeping pills.I looked at her, she was still sound asleep, yet looking so flawless and beautiful.I traced my fingers across her porcelain skin.I really don’t know what i did to deserve her love and trust.Even judging on how I treated her all in the name of revenge.I deeply regret what I did, but in a selfish way I’m happy, because I would never had met a wonderful woman such as her.I want to do things right from
Own me Unveiled.
Theodore POVWe arrived at the address Hernando gave to me.I know I shouldn’t be trusting him or anything he tells me, but I can’t just help but wonder if it may be true.The house was located in a town called Cefalu.It was a hour drive.After series of direction, we finally got there.We came out of the car and met with a small but cozy bungalow on a low hill.It was traditional but beautiful.I looked around the compound, it was really neat and had flowers surrounding it.‘Is this where my mom grew up? Would it feel like her here?, would I feel her presence maybe?.’ Different thoughts ran through my head.“Theodore?.” Aria called pulling me out of my thoughts.“Come on, we have to go in.” She smiled.We knocked at the door but no one answered, I tried knocking again but the door flew open.It seems it was unlock.We both looked at each other and shrugged, we entered inside quietly.The house wasn’t that Spacious, but it contained all it’s properties.I looked around and then saw
Own me Alexandra’s Nightmare.
Alexandra POV“How did Theodore find out about his grandmother!.” I screamed and trashed my dressing table.‘This isn’t happening, how much does he know? . Maddalena doesn’t know he is Hernando’s son, I’m very sure of that. Nobody knows that secret except me and my late son Ezekiel.’ My thoughts ran wide as I paced around my room which started to feel congested and hot.“Rocco, prepare the car.” I ordered.We drove to my favorite spot, a beach not far from town but it’s usually secluded and that’s why I love it.We arrived there and I got out immediately, taking in the fresh air.I sighed, “It seems Theodore doesn’t trust me anymore.”“Why would you say that ma’am?.” Rocco questioned.“Everything that’s happened this few days, it’s almost like he’s plotting against me and that Aria is pushing him further. I just wish I got rid of her sooner!.” I groaned bitterly.“Do you still want to get rid of her?, we can always handle it.” He suggested.I chuckled and turned to look at him,“No,

Own me Epilogue.
*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.

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

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

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
Own me Chapter 90: Her story.
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
