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
"Our enemy entered my daughter's wedding. Your future Capo's wedding. He came and insulted Her, he insulted the whole Cosa Nostra and none of you were aware of it! What kind of incompetent fools you all are?' Aaron snarled at his most trusted Underbosses. “How did he even get the invitation card?' "He used the state senator's invitation card. He came on his behalf. The guards couldn't do anything about it." Adamo the Underboss of Yonkers said."They could have informed you!" Leonus, who was silent until now, snapped at Adamo. Adamo looked down, the security of the venue was given to his soldiers. And they failed. Aaron nodded as he glared at Adamo, "Senator Harrison. Cut out all his funding. If his loyalty resides with Bratva then Cosa Nostra will treat him like an enemy too." Enzo looked up, this was not good for business. The Albergo family was as much affected by today's incident as the Knight family yet Enzo, like the good loyal soldier, was attending this meeting.Aleksandr
Dinara swallowed in apprehension seeing her brother. She knew He loves her but there were few things He was particular about. And her pregnancy was something He would never accept. And not to mention, her mother was also returning from Russia in a few hours. She was scared of her reaction to the news as well.Her brother Igor had locked her in her room, he had seized her cell phone and all the electronic devices which could be used as a communication gadget. The landline in her room could only be used to communicate with the kitchen staff if she needs anything. She was totally grounded. Aleksandr walked to her and rested his hands on her shoulders. "You disappointed me greatly, Dinara. I permitted you to live in a hostel because you promised me to respect our values and traditions but you broke them all. Why?" Aleksander asked his cousin. Although He was burning in anger and wanted to snap at her but He couldn't. Aleksandr had only one weakness and that was Dinara. Even though she w
"Leonus, please help me. Please, I beg you! If not for me then think about our baby. We will lose our baby if you don't come today. My family knows about our child. My Bratan…I mean my brother knows about our child too. He is angry with you. I don't know what he will do to you. Oh Leonus…" she sobbed. "My Mama is taking me to the hospital for killing our baby. please save us…""Which hospital you are going to, Dinara. I am coming to save you and our child. Don't worry, Dinara, I will not allow anyone to harm you or our child."Dinara blinked in surprise hearing his soft and worried tone. For a minute, she thought he would berate her and cut the call but no. Hope fluttered in her heart. A small smile came to her face while tears were still rolling down her eyes. "Thank you…""Dinara!" Dinara snapped her mouth shut for a second hearing her mother yell. "Coming, Mama..." She said loudly. "My mother is calling me. I have to go now.""Keep Your GPS on, I will follow you."Dinara nodded,
Aria stepped ahead and held Olivia’s shoulders before looking into her worried eyes. "I will not die like her, Nonna. Because I am not Maria. I am Aria Salvatore Knight. I will not die empty-handed, I will have that throne. I am not going to give up on my dream because of that Russian dog. I will take that throne, I have waited for so many years for it I can wait a few more months, Nonna. Because Now, I will take that throne after ruining that Russian dog. After ending that Russian Dog! I will rise like a phoenix. The people who mocked me today will bow their heads down in fear and respect both after seeing my revenge."Olivia parted her lips, she had never seen Aria like this. Her words raised goosebumps on Olivia's body. She looked possessed, lunatic for revenge. And This madness scared Olivia. She could see how far Aria had gone. Now nothing and no one could pull her out of this darkness. She had made Cosa Nostra her life, Olivia should be happy seeing her dedication to Cosa Nost
Dinara looked around in search of Leonus while she walked inside the hospital with her mother. Her heart was beating as if she had run a marathon. She was relaxed since she talked to Leonus but now when she didn't see him anywhere, fear once again gripped her heart. What if he lied? What if he didn't come? The questions keep repeating in her mind. And this increased her anxiety with every single passing second."What are you looking around at?" Nikita asked her daughter. Her sharp eyes roamed around the place suspiciously. Dinara shook her head. "Nothing... Nothing, Mama. I am scared of everything around me today."Nikita Fedorov gave her a dark glare. Disappointment and anger visible in her eyes. "You should have feared the consequences before spoiling my name," she hissed and clutched her hand while walking inside. Diana's winced at the tight hold on her skin. "Mama, you are hurting me."Nikita tightened her hold on her even more. "I know, you deserve this pain. You deserve more
