"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
Aaron was dressed in casual clothes as He thought He would be spending time with his wife. He wanted to clear these differences which had grown between them in the past few days. Although she had said that she would be leaving because her sister was waiting for her, He knew she was only saying it for the sake of it. So He left her alone to calm his mind because He didn't want to hurt her in any way.But Aaron was stunned to find her gone, then He chuckled as his anger was completely wiped by Bella's action. She was trying to prove a point to him, and He liked it. She was Velenoso's wife and this was just the flicker of attitude He wanted Bella to have. She was his queen, his wife, He wanted her to be brutal enough to handle His Darkness. He didn't call or ask her to come back, He knew Hunter and his men would be following her home. She was safe and He would make sure she always remained safe. He sighed and went to his study to work a little. It was when his brother came to his home a
Sabrina's eyes widened in horror when she heard Aaron's words and without wasting a single second she laid on the ground hiding her hands beneath her shins. Her heart beated anxiously as she prayed to mother Mary to help her from this situation. Aaron's words got fixed in her mind that He didn't show mercy on anyone. She didn't know if she would get out of this place or not but if by some miracle she did she knew she would never be able to accept this man as a family member in her life again. Ever!Marcus looked towards the window. Aaron's coat was still hanging on his arm as he moved to the window to check if someone was there. The window was broken and the place dimly illuminated. He looked around but did not find anyone. Marcus pulled out his phone to check the ground as the light did not reach at the depth of the alley directly but before he could turn on the flashlight of his phone beeped and the notification of the message drained the blood on his face. He opened it and read
Two days passed since the attack on Aaron's family. Two days of Aaron's failure as not only the Capo dei Capi of Cosa Nostra but his failure as a son, a grandson and a husband. His parents were in the hospital, while his father was still fighting for his life. He was glad that his mother was now conscious. She was shot twice in the shoulder. The shooter was aiming for her heart but missed it. In One single day, his family was in shreds. His organisation was attacked. His men were looking at him to take the decision. They want retribution for the person who attacked them. They needed Velenoso to show his wrath. Aaron wanted to do the same but the involvement of the media created havoc in this scene. They have already started pointing to the mafia's involvement in the attack and this gave Killian Mcmanus a little time to breathe for a few more days. The last two days were full of violent rush. Everything was slipping from his hand like sand. The only person who was not attacked w
Cara's eyes widened. She bit her lips and with shaking hands, she accepted the call. "H...ello," Cara whispered, catching the leather seat of the car tightly. "How is your husband now?" Kim asked in response to her Hello. "He is recovering well." Cara replied stiffly. "Master wants to meet you, Cara. Your driver is aware of the address. He will bring you here. He has a gun which he will not hesitate to use upon you if you try to contact anyone from your family."Cara swallowed and eyed the driver. Her heart was in her throat, "I…." Before she could say anything the call ended. The phone slipped from her shaky fingers and an anxious sob left her mouth. "I didn't want to use the gun on you, Boss had ordered me to bring you to him without any harm to you. Don't make me use force on you, Madam.""No…Please don't take me there. Don't take me to him…" she cried anxiously. The driver stopped the car and turned around. His gun pointed at her head. "Don't make this hard for me and yoursel
"Mother." Aaron whispered when Olivia opened her eyes and blinked slowly a few times as her eyes focused on Aaron. She forced herself to speak through the oxygen mask. "Don't stress yourself. You need rest."Aaron said, trying to calm her. "I…cou…" Olivia couldn't speak anymore and once again drowned into the arms of unconsciousness.It has been like this for the past three days. Yes, three days passed that horrible day. His father was stable but unconscious, his mother in and out of consciousness, His Grandfather was in a coma and His wife was still missing with her family. His soldiers as per his orders had taken the war to another level. He was facing issues with the media being involved. But the officers on his payroll were doing a good job to hide away the important facts from the public's eyes. The Irish were feeling huge losses in their businesses. And Aaron was after his legal business too. Killian Mcmanus had made the grave mistake by touching Aaron's family and now Aar
Aaron tilted his head and smiled when He watched the trio. "I hope my men treated you well, De Luca." A leather chair was set in front of De Luca and his brother and Aaron sat on the chair like a king sitting on his throne. He stretched his hand for the gun. Massimo put it in his hand. De Luca's eyes widened as he wiggled in his chair trying to get free, so did his brother. "A dog should remember his status before fighting a battle with a Lion. You had a great opportunity to work with Cosa Nostra but your greed was not satisfied. You wanted more and for that you gave your whore of a daughter to Killian Mcmanus. My enemy."Aaron gestured at Massimo to remove De Luca's gag while he pointed a gun to his brother's head who shook his head and tried to get free of the rope. The screeching sound of the chair on the floor irritated Aaron. "Silence!" He snarled at him. "Aaron…" De Luca started but shook his head when Aaron fixed him with an overpowering look. "Velenoso…" De Luca whispered
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
