"They are expecting us to kiss," Lucas said as he eyed Aria and his family watching them as they walked to the small tree house in Lucas' parents' garden. They all came there for the rehearsal dinner. And now after dinner and the exchange of gifts, Lucas, like an excited groom asked Aria to walk with him so that they could spend some alone time with each other. Aria forced a smile to her face and joined him. She could feel her family's gazes on her back. She was already tired of this drama. And her tiredness turned into anger when Lucas told that their family members were expecting a romantic moment between them. Aria cringed reckoning the discussion between her and Lucas' mother about a grandchild. "Don't you dare to do it," she hissed at Lucas. Lucas raised his brows. "I don't want it either. We are friends and even though I joked about having feelings for you I won't do it. I am as uncomfortable with this as you are." He said and shook his head before letting out a deep sigh and
"Is there something you want to share, Selena?" Aria asked her cousin who looked lost for quite a few days. Aria didn't bother herself with anyone but Selena and Leonus were the only people she shares a bond with. Leonus was her secret keeper just like she was to him but Selena was like the younger sibling to them both. And they both cared about her. "She is heartbroken, Miss Knight." "Rossi!" Selena snapped at her best friend before looking at Aria. "It's nothing like this. She is kidding."Aria straightened her brows and gave her a firm stare. "You were in a relationship, Selena?" She asked. Aria was not aware of this. She would have done a background check on that guy if she had known about it. She still was going to check to see if the guy was from some enemy family. Selena gave her a scathing look and looked away. Aria didn't like her reaction to the question. She understands that teenagers tend to be moody but Selena never reacted in this manner before. "Selena?" Aria called
"What have you both done?" Aria asked her cousin and her friend as she looked at the grand party in the club of the hotel they were staying. Selena forced a smile to her face. She decided to let her crush for Lucas go. Now, nothing could be done. And it was not like she was in a relationship with Lucas. He never paid attention to her hints before getting engaged to Aria. And Selena loves Aria, even though they were cousins but Aria always treated her like a sibling. "Leo and I planned this together. He said that you need to loosen up a little bit before marriage and I agreed with him.""Selena…" "No, I am not listening to anything. You are always this stiff and bossy. Today you have to leave your rigid nature and have fun with us."Aria rolled her eyes. "I don't want it, Sel. You guys enjoy it but I …""It's your bachelorette party, Aria not mine. How are we going to celebrate it without you? Also, we have a surprise for you," Selena said with a grin. This time her joy was real. S
Aria looked at the retreating figure of that blue-eyed man. Everything in her revolted at the thought of seeing him gone. She wanted to see his face. She wanted to know that man's name. Why? She had no idea about it. But Aria wanted to know him so without thinking too much, she followed him outside the club.Aria was disappointed when she didn't see him anywhere. The area was completely barren of people. She moved around the area in search of him but her mind went into havoc when her eyes failed to find him. She inhaled deeply and swallowed the saliva that pooled in her throat reckoning his spicy cologne. Her heart started racing unevenly suddenly and she became impatient. But she couldn't pinpoint what she was impatient about. Disappointed again, she turned to go back to the club but then she heard it. The sound of a whistle. The same whistle he played. That blue-eyed man. She snapped her hand in the direction of the sound and found him. He was leaning against the wall with his one
Aria blinked her eyes open before letting out a yawn. She moaned, clutching her head as it was bursting with pain and her eyes felt heavy. She felt like someone had banged her head against the wall. Sighing, she moved to get into the sitting position but stiffened in pain. She winced as she tried to move her legs up. The pain was not anywhere else but in between her legs. And Aria's mind went numb for a moment. Suddenly, she realised something else too. Aria realised that the sheet was covering her naked self. Her eyes widened in horror at the realisation. "No!" A horrified whisper left her mouth as she snapped her head down and peeked under the duvet. She was completely naked!Aria covered herself with the duvet and got off the bed with lightning speed. She gasped as the sharp pain shot her core suddenly. She had suffered pain before. Pain during practice fighting. Pain during a real fight. Pain which she gives herself as punishment. She braved all those pain but the pain she was f
Aria stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her mother and Mother-in-law spent a fortune on her wedding dress. The dress was specially designed for her in the minimal time. She could only imagine the amount her parents would have paid for it. The dress had real platinum threadwork with pearls on it. She took a deep breath. Today was the day when all her dreams would turn into reality. Tomorrow she will be getting the best birthday gift of her life. Because tomorrow she will be getting Cosa Nostra, her birthday present as it was her oath ceremony tomorrow. "Are you ready?"Aria turned around hearing Leonus' voice. She nodded and stepped ahead but hissed as a sudden jolt of pain shot through her core. Again, her mind flashed with the morning's ugly memories. She curbed them all down, Aria didn't want to think about that at this moment. This was one of the happiest days of her life. She didn't want to spoil it, recalling her humiliating morning. Leonus frowned. "You don't look fin
Aleksandr Fedorov eyed her from top to bottom, as she walked down the aisle in the wedding dress. She looked enchanting, the white dress complimented her soft rosy skin perfectly. And He wanted nothing else but to rip that dress off her to fulfil his illicit desires. His dark illicit desires. He took a deep breath to control the burning passionate rage in him when she smiled at her father. He didn't want to see her smiling. He liked tears in her eyes. Tears of humiliation. Aleksandr's eyes went to him. Aria's father, Aaron Salvatore Knight, the man he grew up hating. Then his eyes went to another man, Leonus Salvatore Knight, the man who tainted Bratva's honour. He hated them with a passion so fierce that it couldn't be described in words. Russians and Italians were sworn enemies. The heads of Bratva and Cosa Nostra would never get along. But this was personal. Personal on more than one ground. The hostility between them just went way more deeper than it was before after what the
"I want you…" Aria's eyes widened. Yes, It was her voice. Horrified at the words she heard, she turned around and Her complexion paled when her eyes landed on the projector, it was running a video of her and Aleksandr in a church. Aria watched the video with an unblinking gaze……….."You can have me but at least control till we say our vows, Tigritsa," Aleksandr said, stopping her from opening the buttons of his white silk shirt. "Now! I want you now!" Aria almost cried and tried to kiss him. Aleksandr turned his head to the side and Aria fell on his neck. She started kissing his chest while He looked at the priest who had a scorching expression on his face. "I know it looks odd but my girl is being horny, father. She is eager to get married. Can we fast-forward the ceremony?"The priest gave them both a dirty glare before starting the ceremony. Aleksandr kissed her head and whispered something in her ear. Aria giggled and looked at the priest. She said her vows and the priest anno

Aleksandr clenched his jaws As He was once again reminded of the thing He didn't want to think about. He straightened and let out a deep breath. "Rest enough, you need it." He said as He turned to leave the room for a few minutes to get his thoughts under control. But Aria grabbed his palm and stopped him from taking another step. She didn't understand why He gave such a cold reaction to her when she mentioned their baby to him. "What's the matter with you? Are you not happy with our baby?" She demanded squeezing his palm and gesturing to him to turn around and face her. Aleksandr closed his eyes and let his breath out before He turned around and looked at her. "I don't think I am ready to be a father, I mean. I don't know how to be a father. What if I did something wrong? Dinara is happy since she came to know about our baby. She is saying that her baby is coming back as her niece. She is sure it's going to be a girl. Everyone is happy. This is the first time I have seen Bratva and
"Aleksandr, Where is Aria?" Bella asked urgently before she came running to him. The whole Knight family was coming behind her. From Aaron Salvatore Knight to his brother with his wife and daughter. Aleksandr chuckled seeing the bonding between the Knight family members. "And I just killed my traitorous Tetushka and Cousin." He muttered under his breath instead of answering Bella who looked at him agaped. He was trying to do everything in his power to not think about the last words Aria said before He brought her here. Aria was pregnant? But how was that possible?"I am asking you about my daughter and you are chuckling?" Bella snapped at him angrily forcing Aleksandr's attention to herself. Before He could open his mouth to speak Bella pushed him in the chest hard. Aleksandr was stunned seeing his mother-in-law's violent side. "Mrs Knight?" "My daughter has not visited hospitals like this many times since her childhood since she has visited after marrying you!" Bella scolded him a
"Leonus. We know where Dinara is. I am sending you the address, come there if you want," Mikhail said over the phone and Leonus went numb for a moment. "You found where she is?" He asked "How? Where is Dinara?" He asked in a demanding tone. His heart started beating an uneven rhythm hearing the news of his wife's whereabouts. "And who has Her?"Mikhail let out a deep sigh before telling him the name of Dinara's kidnapper. "Igor. He kidnapped her. She is in the stone house near the ocean at this moment. I sent you the address already. You might reach there before me, seeing the location. Come there as fast as you can, Leonus," Mikhail said before ending the call. Leonus's nose flared and blood filled his head in anger. "Igor!" He gritted out, "I am going to kill him!" He pledged and shook his head in rage while fisting his hands to curb his anger for a moment before he ran to his car to reach his wife."Leonus what happened, why are you in such a hurry?" Shane asked the moment when h
"You fucking Italians thought that I was going to forget about my father's death, You Italian whore!" Igor's eyes were shining in rage as he eyed Aria from head to toe. Aria was silently watching Igor's every movement. Her instinct told her that she had to defend herself today. And not only herself but her baby too. Igor smirked as he came to stand in front of Aria. "Velenoso's daughter. My father's killer's daughter. And Aleksandr made you Bratva Queen. But today I am going to give you the position you really deserve. My whore!" He snarled into her face as he eyed Aria's body lecherously. Today, Aria could see the real Igor Fedorov, the bastard one. He was examining her with lust-filled eyes. "I wonder how long are you going to survive my Dick!"Aria chuckled at that. She couldn't help her reaction. "Do you have one, Igor?" She asked with a vicious look in her eyes. She was daring him to touch her so that she would break his hands. This moron didn't know who the ice Princess was.
Aleksandr stared at Aria without blinking a gaze. Her beautiful features calmed the rage inside him. He let out a deep sigh as many things once again started taking over the peace of his mind. Then He looked blankly at the ceilings above him. "What are you thinking about?" Aria whispered softly before she opened her eyes and gave him a smile. "When did you wake up?" Aleksandr asked, shifting his eyes to her. Aria rested her palm to his bearded cheek, "When you were lost in your thoughts," she answered with a soft smile. Aleksandr forgot to blink and let out a shaky breath as their eyes locked and the environment around them turned electrifying suddenly. Aria bit her lower lip as she thought it was the time right to tell him about their baby. Taking a deep breath she sat in the bed and looked at him intensely, "Aleksandr there is something you need to know. Although I am not sure how you will take this news. I mean," she swallowed the nervous lump in her throat as she took his han
"What do you mean, I have her? Where is Dinara?" Leonus asked carefully to Aleksandr who was standing in front of him with a gun pointing at his head. Leonus didn't care about the gun, he was worried for Dinara. "Answer me! Where is my wife? She was yours to protect!" Leonus busted on Aleksandr suddenly. Aleksandr's nose flared. "I am not here to listen to your preaching! I am asking you where is Dinara, Leonus? You handover her to me or I swear to God I will not leave even a single member of your family alive!"Shane and Lucas moved forward with their guns pulled out and pointed at Aleksandr and Igor. Leonus shook his head at them, "No. I don't want a war anymore, down your guns!" He ordered them both which shocked them to the core. Leonus looked into Aleksandr’s eyes carefully and pondered over the whole scenario."Stop acting, Leonus Salvatore Knight! You don't want war but you kidnapped my sister! You hurt my mother!" Igor snarled at him as he stepped forward and got into Leonus
Aleksandr hugged Dinara tightly when she was about to leave for Russia. "Don't forget your brother is always here for you Dinara. Don't worry about anything. I will keep you safe." Dinars closed her eyes and nodded. "I know Bratan. I know," she said as she broke the hug and looked into his blue eyes. "Can I ask something from you?""Anything, you can ask anything from me," Aleksandr said with a soft smile on his face and kissed her forehead. Dinara held Aleksandr's hand and gave him a teary smile. "Don't give up on your love because of me. I know you love Aria. She is here because of you, give your love another chance Bratan. For me, don't give up on your marriage."Aleksandr stiffened at her request and snatched her hand from her hold. "You are getting late, Dinara. It's time for you to leave." Igor sighed seeing Aleksandr's reaction. He stepped forward and rested his hand on Dinara's arm. "Do you forget that you have another brother, Dinara? Don't you want to say goodbye to me?"D
"He didn't do anything, Dinara. Trust me, Leonus is guilty. Give him a chance. One last chance! You won't regret it," Aria repeated herself again. She came to her room in the evening after dinner. Dinara blinked as tears fell down her eyes. She glared at Aria. "I don't want to hear anything, Aria. Please don't talk to me. I don't want to discuss Leonus or my baby with you or anyone else anymore. I lost everything dear to me. So please don't do it!" She yelled at Aria angrily as all the pent-up emotions burst out of her. "Dinara…" Aria was stunned seeing her reaction. Dinara never talked to anyone like this but today everything became too much for her. Leigh was coming to Dinara's room with soup for her when she heard Dinara's shouting voice. Leigh ran to her room and was stunned seeing her crying and raging. She ignored Aria and focused on Dinara's well-being. "Dia? Are you alright? What happened!" She asked, putting the soup bowl on the table. Dinara was shaking all over as her
