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,

Aria POVIt’s been three days since Alexandra left the mansion, and I have to be honest, I love it, Everywhere is so peaceful.I know Theodore is still hurting, she’s his grandmother after all.I looked at myself once more in the mirror before grabbing my purse.Uncle Hernando requested to meet at the Cafe, and I’m so excited, i haven’t seen him since I was kidnapped, we only talked on the phone.Even my little Paola and Becca, I miss them so much.»I arrived at the Cafe and walked in, Uncle Hernando called out immediately he saw me.“Aria.” He waved, I walked towards him with a smile.He stretched his arms and pulled me into a hug.“Oh my dear.” He gushed happily.“I could swear I was almost forgetting what you looked like.” He joked, I chuckled.We sat down and he took my hands.“How have you been?.” He asked.“I have been fine Uncle, I just miss you all so much.” I pouted sadly.He stretched his lips into a small smile,“We miss you too, I hope a day would come where all the enmit

Mother Esma POV I placed the rest of the pie I gave to Theodore into the fridge.I’m sure Aria would miss him so much.Then I heard screams and laughter outside.Huh, what’s going on?.One of the ranch workers walked to get a glass of water.“What’s happening out there?, is Theodore gone?.” I asked.“Yes ma’am, the boss just left. Miss Aria’s best friend is here.” He informed.A smile grew across my face, I’m sure she would be so happy.I quickly brought out the pie I placed in the fridge and cut some slices out for them, then made two cups of coffee and carried it outside.“Aria, I heard you have a guest, I made coffee.” I said walking out of the kitchen, but my hands froze immediately I looked up and met her best-friend.The tea cups fell to the ground and crashed.“Mother Esma, what’s wrong?.” Aria asked worriedly, they were all around me now.“Mom, are you okay?.” Pancho held my shoulder.I blinked my eyes to be sure of who I was seeing?, could she be—?.“Mom!.” Pancho called ou

Pancho POV“Mom?.” I called walking into her room.“Pancho.” She jumped immediately she saw me, hiding something behind her.I squinted my eyes, “Mom, are you okay?.” She nodded.“yes, I just had a headache.” She answered stuttering slightly.I shrugged, “Okay then, just take a rest. I’m going to the ranch.”I closed her door and walked away.“What was she hiding?.” I wondered out loud, then suddenly crashed into someone.“Argh!.” I groaned and looked up, it was Becca.“You should be more careful.” She glared at me.“I’m sorry ma’am.” I teased jokingly.She rolled her eyes and was about to walk away but I stopped her.“I’m going to the ranch, want to come along?.” I offered.She bit her lips in hesitation.“Think of it as a tour.” I added with a smile.“Okay, fine!.” She agreed.We walked to the stables first.“I hope you have forgiven me and Theodore already for how we treated Aria.” I said with a small smile.She furrowed her brows, “you didn’t do anything.”I sighed, “well I suppo
Own me A silly crush?
Becca POV“Hey Becca, I was looking all over for you, where did you walk off to?.” Aria asked immediately I entered the room but I was so lost in my fantasy world about Pancho.I don’t think I have felt this way for any man. I have never been a girl that dreams of Prince Charming and sort.I don’t know what happened today, that spark I felt... I have never felt it before.The way his strong arms held me, so manly and protective.And his eyes, oh those dashing brown eyes–“Becca!.” Fingers snapped in my face, bringing me back to reality.I looked up to see Aria and Luciana standing in front of me with their brows raised.“What?.” I murmured embarrassingly, I’m pretty sure my cheeks are red now.“Well, you were just blushing and biting your lips.” Aria shrugged with a small smirk “Seems something interesting happened.” Luciana added with a wink.I playfully glared at them and stood up from the bed defensively.“It’s nothing, I..um.. I just remembered Auntie’s Veggie Porridge.” I lied.

Theodore POV“Sir, we are landing now.” One of the hostess announced.I closed my laptop and stretched my legs, making myself comfortable on the couch.Benefits of owning a private jet.We landed and my car was already waiting outside for me. Since it was a business trip, there was no need to take my men with me.Moreover I had topnotch security here in LA, also to keep me away from the press. If not I might just get bombarded with so many questions.When I think about my life sometimes, it seems as though I’m living a double life. Here in LA, I’m a multi-millionaire with several companies, but back in Sicily, I’m the Mafia Don.I stepped out of the car when I arrived at my penthouse, it was raining already and I opened the umbrella. It’s funny how it’s spring back in Palermo and it’s raining over here.My mind drifted back to Aria, I remembered when she told me her biggest wish was to travel to different countries someday and Of course I will make that happen.I just want to clear out

*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

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
