Asher frowned at first but then He nodded at Sabrina to go. He trusts his Eldy with his life. He knew Aaron would never hurt him in any way and hurting Sabrina means hurting him. Sabrina reluctantly went towards him and stopped. Aaron stepped toward her before looking into her eyes. “Sabrina, you are my Wife’s sister. It means you are my family too. I reckon that you are aware of Asher’s habits but still accepted him. I know him better than anyone in this world. You are not bound to anyone or anything, you are mature enough to decide for yourself. And I know you are a tough girl too so you don't need to fear anything. Now Tell me honestly, Do you like Asher too?” Asher looked at Sabrina, though he had plans for her but it was in the past now. The whole college knew about his casanova manners but those habits changed since he started getting interested in Sabrina. “Yes, I love him.” Sabrina answered him with honesty and a firm voice. Asher smiled, she didn't say like but Love. Aa
“Marcus, keep informing me about the situation of Flavio and ask Hunter to tighten the security around the hospital!” Aaron ordered Marcus before going to his office.Aaron had appointed the best doctor for his treatment. The wound was too deep and required immediate surgery. Aaron couldn't let him die just now. He was Velenoso’s prey to hunt.Aaron started working on his pending work which He did not attend for the last few days. He needed to talk to Bella about Asher and Sabrina too. Bella was too emotional and naive for the world to understand some things. She takes everything personally. Their nature and personalities were poles apart.His intercom rang and Marcus' name flashed. “Sir, Ms Rosalina De luca is here to talk to you.” What the fuck does she want now? Aaron clenched his jaws and sighed. “Send her back, Marcus. I am not interested in her useless bantering.” “But Sir, she said it's something important.” Marcus said urgently after a while as Rosalina patiently waited. A
“How could you be this stupid?” Aaron whispered tightly, crushing the photos under his shoes and walked out of his office. He wanted to go to his naive wife and ask her about the truth behind the pictures. He was burning in rage after seeing them but the minute He walked out, Marcus bumped into him. "Look while you walk!" He roared on Marcus who was startled seeing Aaron’s face. “I apologise.. sir." He stammered. "But I was in a hurry to give you the news from the hospital."Aaron squeezed his eyes. Everything was happening at the same time.“Speak!” Marcus nodded and informed him that Flavio’s surgery had been done. Aaron knew as the Capo of Cosa Nostra He needed to go to the hospital to see Falvio. Even though He wanted to go to his wife and confront her He couldn't. Appearance matters, Cosa Nostra is about traditions, after all. So He went to the hospital with Marcus first. Aaron headed to the fourth floor where Flavio was taken for surgery. His family and Aaron’s family were wa
Sabrina thrashed the items on her dressing table screaming loudly. Her face was burning in fury as her eyes shed uncontrollable tears. “He only wanted to win the bet and get into your pants, Sabrina. Asher never loved you. He can't love anyone I was also stupid to fall for him but he won't give a damn to anyone’s feelings except for getting sex. I pity you, Sabrina. I wanted to tell you before but Asher warned me to stay away from you. But I couldn't see another girl getting betrayed by him. So I decided to tell you now. ” Cherry’words struck her like a thunderbolt. Reality knocked her sense and she slapped herself hard to wake up from her nightmare. Asher never loved her. His love was fake just like him. “How could you do this to me, Asher? Why? Just WHY?” she yelled before picking her perfume bottle up and hurled it towards the mirror breaking it into pieces. Sabrina never felt these feelings for anyone before and the first time she fell for some
Sabrina blinked a few times, she thought she imagined Bella said that HER husband, Aaron was the Mafia king, Velenoso. It was impossible, how could it be? "Bella, you are talking about Aaron, You husband? He is not Velenoso." Bella raked her hands on her face and shook her head. "He is!" She almost screamed in anger, frustration and pain at being played at the hands of Aaron. The man she had started to love madly. "I saw the evidence of it with my own eyes. I read your journal, Sabby. You mentioned an Oath ceremony where Velenoso cut his hand. Aaron had that same cut on his hand. I saw the same ring on Aaron's finger which you have a photograph of. And I saw the gun in his closet."Sabrina frowned. "It means Asher lied to me about the pictures, they don't belong to Velenoso. It was all nothing but a set-up from the start." She sat down on the floor in shock.Bella shook her head. "I also thought the same but after all the similarities between your notes and my observations with Aaron
Bella bit her lips as she walked inside Aaron's penthouse. Sabrina was waiting for her in the car a few metres away from there. Hunter insisted to accompany Bella when they were about to come here but she denied his help like last time saying her sister was with her. Her heart was beating anxiously with every step she took inside. Everything felt new to her as if she was walking there for the first time when the reality was she had been living here from months now with the man she loves who had turned into a complete stranger for her now. She suddenly stopped for a moment when she noticed Aaron sitting on the living room sofa. He stood up and faced her with his cold grey eyes. But there was something different about him today. Something unhinged and dangerous. "Welcome back, Mrs Aaron Knight." He said in a voice that caused the hair on her nape to stand up. She swallowed and forced herself to get a grip on her emotions. She was here to find out the truth about Aaron. She was here f
"Will you tell me what happened?" Sabrina demanded once they came back home and she went to Bella's room. Sabrina had asked her many times what happened there but she had not told her anything. She came out of the penthouse with an ashen face and spoke only four words since then. "Take me home, Sabby." Sabrina was losing her cool over her silence. She was still in shock over the bombs which had been dropped on her recently and now her sister's silence was driving her mad. "Bella, please tell me what happened there. Did you talk to him? Have you found anything?"Bella looked at her sister and all the fear and pent-up emotion busted out on her. "What do you want to know about your Velenoso? Congratulations Sabby, you know him personally because your sister is married to him!" Sabrina blinked. She was numb hearing her words. "Bella…" she whispered, her face paled in shock. "He told you this?" She asked, getting over the shock. "Did He tell you this?" Sabrina couldn't imagine Aaron as
Sabrina went to her room and took her recording equipment. She wore a necklace which has a small hidden camera in its gem and a watch which has a voice recorder. She also had her phone's location on just in case things went sour and she needed help. 911 was on speed dial too, she was taking all the precautions she took when she went out to search about Velenoso. She thought the day she would meet him would be her greatest achievement, a career-making achievement but today she was feeling anything but satisfied with it. Sabrina shook her head to clear it and went to meet him. The man who cheated on her sister with his truth and another woman. Sabrina had warned him that if He hurt Bella He would have to face her and today He will. When Sabrina walked out of the main door the first thing she noticed was the guard Bella mentioned outside her home. She wanted to go and ambush him before doing the same with his boss but she controlled her emotions and acted normal. The guard was for Bell
After Twenty years—"Taking back New York City?" Mikhail looked at his Pakhan questionably. He was surprised at the sudden demand of his boss. "But Velenoso rules over it, Pakhan."A pair of ocean-blue eyes stared at Mikhail. He blinked leisurely at Mikhail and smirked."Russians used to rule over it once. Now I want New York back under Bratva again. Velenoso has ruled over it enough, now I want my city back, Mikhail." He stated with authority in his tone and rage in his eyes.Mikhail swallowed the thickness in his throat. "It wouldn't be easy to take it back from him. He is committed to his Cosa Nostra and for this, He even killed your uncle years ago!""It's a bloody revenge, Mikhail. He snatched my uncle, my father's beloved brother from him. So it's only fair if I snatch something dear to him.”He stood up from his chair and walked to the huge glass window before looking at the dark sky with considerable vicious thoughts running in his mind. "Who does He love the most?" He asked
Bella turned around, shielding her daughter from the bullet. She shrieked when the gunshots sounded. She waited for the pain but she felt nothing. The bullet hit the wall beside her. But then the more bullets kept showering, she heard screams and curses, the loud voice of bullets made Aira's cries grow louder and louder. She didn't turn around and kept praying to Mother Mary to protect her daughter even at the cost of her life.Cara shrieked in horror when the bullet went through Killian's arm instead of hitting Bella. Killian cursed loudly as pain shot through his nerves, the gun fell down from his hand. The bullets kept showering and before he could even blink another bullet hit him in the shoulder. "Fuck!" He cursed, crouching down. His men shot back and tried to protect Killian but they all fell one by one as the bullets never stopped showering from all sides. He looked at Cara who stood there numb. "You bitch, do something!" Cara looked at the gun before her. She snarled once
"Aria! Sabby!" Bella woke up with the nightmare. She looked around to find her daughter and sister but was shocked to find herself in the bed alone. Asher moved to her immediately. "Bella, you need to calm down, the doctor said you got unconscious because of stress." He said holding a glass of water for her. Bella looked at him with teary eyes. "They took Sabby and Aria." Asher controlled his emotions and nodded. "I know. Eldy left to bring them back. He found out about the person behind the attack."Bella's eyes sparkled in hope. "He did? Who kidnapped them!" She demanded.Asher sighed. "Riccardo."Bella was stunned. "Your uncle?""Yes. We all are shocked but you don't have to worry. Eldy will come back soon with Aria and Sabrina. Trust Eldy. He will make everything fine."Bella looked at him for a long time before nodding at him. "I do."Asher smiled. "Don't worry, let me bring you a cup of coffee. You will feel good after it.""No, I don't…""Have it. You will feel good," he sai
"What do you mean they took them, Eldy?" Asher asked his brother who was staring at the dark sky. Asher came running to Aaron's penthouse the moment he got to know about the attack on Sabrina and Bella. The doctor came just after him to check on Bella. He wanted to see Sabrina but his brother was not answering him. "I am asking something Eldy! Where is Sabrina?”Asher yelled at his brother in anger. "They took them both!" Aaron snapped, turning around and facing his brother. "They took Aria and Sabrina!!" He yelled back, his cold grey eyes were screaming in anger too.Asher stiffened. "Aria?" Aaron squeezed his eyes. For the second time in his life, He felt dread. The first time was when Maria died. "They have my daughter. I felt like a fucking failure for not being able to protect her and my family. She trusted me and I…What if something happened to Aria or Sabrina. Bella will never forgive me. Hell! I will not be able to forgive myself."Asher walked to his brother and rested his
Aria started crying too when she saw Sabrina crying. "Sabby…." Bella tried to soothe her daughter but she kept crying and stretched her arms to go to Sabrina.Bella felt bad for not being able to calm her sister or daughter's cries. "Sabby. Please stop crying. You don't have to feel like this," she caressed her sister's arms while bouncing Aria in her other arm."Okay, tell me. Do you still have feelings for him?" Bella asked her sister. Sabrina swallowed and wiped her tears, averting her eyes and looking in another direction. She felt stupid for crying over Asher like this. She sighed and forced herself to control her raging emotions. "Sabrina?" Bella whispered but Aria was still crying so she turned her attention to her daughter. "Please stop crying, Ari." She begged her daughter. Sabrina squeezed her eyes and forced a smile onto her face before taking Aria from Bella."Sabby is not crying anymore. You should also stop crying, choco pie." Aria blinked innocently, her lips stretch
"You wanted to talk?" Asher asked Sabrina when she was patting Aria to sleep. She raised her eyes and nodded. This was the time for her to take her revenge. "Yes," she said, "I wanted to talk to you."Asher smiled at his niece and touched her small fingers before meeting Sabrina's eyes. "I am listening." He said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at her. "I am ready to be with you again but you have to prove your love for me, Asher."Asher beamed. "I am ready to give up on my life for you, Sabrina. Tell me what can I do to prove my love for you?"Sabrina nodded. "Give up on your brother and come with me. Leave your brother and quit this crime world. I don't want you to meet your brother again. So tell me, Asher Knight, are you ready to leave your brother for me?"Asher was stunned. Did he hear her right? She was not asking him to leave his Eldy forever, right?“Sabrina. I love you, you know that. My feelings are real for you. Yes, I was wrong two years ago but now I have changed. I am t
Giovanni held his gaze. "Ethan proved his worth. He had both brains and power. You had power but the decision you took against Russia on your first mission cost me both men and money, Riccardo. Ethan saved you."Riccardo shrugged again. "He was my captain. It was his duty to save me.""Yes But you lost your face, Riccardo. Ethan was the only one who proved himself against the Russians."Riccardo chuckled. "And you found the perfect man for your daughter. You know what hurts me the most, Gio?" He said, fixing him with a look. Giovanni sighed. "So today you are going to get this all out. Years of pent-up anger against me.""Years of pent-up pain and hurt. You may call it anything you want. I married Lucia because you wanted it. It was Cosa Nostra's tradition that if you want to become the Capo, you must marry An Italian woman. You made that rule, didn't you?""I did because that's what other seniors wanted. Cosa Nostra runs on rules.""The same rules you forgot when you made Ethan Cap
"Where are you going, Madam?" Marcus asked Sabrina when she was about to enter the elevator with Aria in her hands. "To the park downstairs. Aria and I need fresh air."Marcus shook his head. "I am sorry, Madam but you can't go out. Please get back inside."Sabrina made a face. She was grounded in the house for more than a week without getting outside air. “Why? Do I need a permission letter to walk in the park now!" She snapped at Marcus. "Yes, you do. I am under strict orders from my Capo. If you want something, you can tell me. I will bring it for you but you are not allowed to go out. It's not safe."Sabrina thinned her lips and glared at him before going back into the penthouse. She was angry at her sister for accepting that criminal back in her life. She wanted to run away again with Bella and Aria but knew that now it was almost next to impossible because her sister will never leave Aaron again. Not after knowing that He was her saviour all along. She was shocked too when Be
Cara closed her eyes in pain as Lucia slapped her hard against the cheek. "You whore! My son died because of you. You are a bad omen for my family.""She lost her child. Stop tormenting her, Lucia." Riccardo snapped and took her out of the room. "You forced me to come here. I wanted to be with my son. He will be buried in a few hours. Why didn't she die instead of him?" Lucia snapped at Riccardo and snatched her arm from his hold in anger. Riccardo gritted his jaws, anger shooting through his nerves. "You are right. I shouldn't have come here with you. It's better if she stays here alone. She has already suffered enough.""She can die for all I care!" She snapped and walked away from there holding her son's memories in her heart. Riccardo sighed and stopped the nurse who was about to enter Cara's room. "Do you want anything, Sir?" The nurse asked him.Riccardo nodded. "Yes. I want you to take care of my daughter-in-law. I am leaving for my son's funeral. Take care of her." He said
