Bella sucked on a deep breath before knocking on the door of the last room in the mansion. She had checked other rooms, He was not there so She went there to check assuming he would be there. When nobody responded, She turned the doorknob and pushed the door open as it was not unlocked. She was determined today to confront him for the new revelation and something she needed to know only from him. Today she won't step back or stay silent. Not when He brought her here, caging her in the house surrounded in an island, ceasing her all chances to escape, she wanted him to confide in her if He wanted her back. There was a doubt lingering in her mind regarding his action behind bringing her to this place. After the revelation in the room, it seemed like a well-organized plan, not some abrupt decision taken suddenly in the heat of the moment.Bella took a long breath to gather all her courage as she walked inside and looked around the spacious but room with dim lights.Sighing, she turned
Aaron’s eyes darkened as He heard her demands. He growled and pushed her into the wall before grabbing her shoulders.“You won't leave me, Bella. My daughter can't live without you. She needs her mother. And I won't let you leave either… You are stuck with me. If you want to see Aria…”“Stop it….” Bella screamed, She was burning in anger listening to his stupid logic and reasons. “Stop this nonsense, Aaron. You want me for Aria. Alright! She is my daughter and I will always be there for her but not for you. And Why do you need me, Huh? Why? You already told me you won't give me your love or fall for me. I loved you, it's my problem. I loved a criminal, it was my mistake. But I am not that old fool Bella now. I set my boundaries Aaron. We will take care of Aria together, there are thousands of people who do the same without being tied to each other in marriage. We can co-parent Aria. But if you are thinking that I will live with you as your wife, then you
Aaron stared at his wife with an unblinking gaze. What is she trying to do? "You love me, Aaron. I know that you love me and…" she whispered, her cheeks tinted red and she looked at him through her lashes. "... I am ready to live with you. I am ready to be your wife Aaron but on one condition."‘I will tell you how much I love you, Aaron. I will give you so much love that you will forget all your past wounds and pain but please agree to this condition. Please, Aaron.’ Bella cried in mind, she pleaded with him through her eyes and also prayed to her mother Mary to listen to her. Aaron stared at her silently, neither agreeing to her belief nor denying it. "What condition?" He asked with doubt in his stormy eyes. Bella swallowed the lump in her throat before speaking. "Leave this crime world. This Cosa Nostra or whatever it is. I Don't want you to be the Capo or Boss Of Cosa Nostra anymore. I am ready to live with you, love you but you have to quit this dark world of the Mafia, Aaron.
Aaron punched the wall hard as He couldn't control his anger after hearing Bella's condition. She wanted him to leave Cosa Nostra, the organisation He lives for. His sole aim of life. Why couldn't she accept him like the way He was! Gina's words again jumped to haunt him and rage filled his whole body. The love He had for her was nothing but a tiny drop in front of the ocean of love He had for Bella in his heart. He knew He loved Bella the moment she left him without any concern but He converted his love into wrath and hatred. He didn't want to get vulnerable in front of his feelings and heart again. So He kept putting on the facade of a stone hearted monster instead of showing his true feelings. He was assured that Love was not made for him after Gina but then… Bella managed to stir his heart and this time she shook his world hard when He got to know about his daughter. His own blood and flesh. He not only wanted Aria but Bella too. He wanted his family beside him. He realised th
"Are you sure that you love me, Bella?" Aaron asked after a while before they relished the moment of their closeness for a while. He wanted to end this topic today for once and all. Tomorrow morning, He wanted to wake up with his wife in his arms and He had a straight edge plan for that. Bella opened her eyes and created a little space between them. "Yes. I am sure about my feelings for you Aaron," she answered without any hesitation. She stared at him with deep emotions. Aaron nodded and cupped her face softly. "Who do you love, Bella, Aaron or Velenoso?" He asked, looking straight in her eyes. Bella stiffened and her brows straightened. She understood what He was asking her. A lone Tear rolled down her cheek as she looked into his stormy grey eyes. But It was not out of pain today. There were many questions in his eyes and He wanted the answer to those questions from her. She blinked a few times as she was too tired to answer them. Many emotions had drained her energy during thi
Bella moved her muscles in the morning, and winced slightly when felt sore from down. Last night's event knocked her memory and she opened her eyes only to be greeted with a beautiful sight of her husband.“Good morning, Wife!” Aaron said with a husky morning voice as He kissed her nose. Bella smiled seeing his handsome face and put her leg on his waist. He had pulled her on his body last night and Bella slept like a baby on him. Her curves had become more curvy and sexy after delivery which Aaron noticed last night and couldn't control himself. She had become more beautiful than last time. And all his! The mother of his child. “Good morning, Husband!” she whispered, kissing his naked chest. Aaron smirked looking at her shy smile again. She didn't know what He had stored for her. “Ready for the second round, Wife!” and just like that a sleep ran from her eyes as Bella looked up with broadened eyes. “Huh…”Aaron cupped her right breast and squeezed it. Bella pinched her eyes, partin
Aaron pulled Bella to his side and hugged her tightly as they walked around the sea, enjoying the cold flowing breeze. "I used to think about spending romantic time with you but then you always reminded me not to fall for you." She complained with a pout after they walked at the seashore enjoying themselves. Aaron kissed her crown and sighed in contentment. He didn't deserve her but now that He got her, He would never allow her to leave him. He was one selfish bastard who would go to any extent to keep her with him. “I never accepted it or you can say I never realised it before but I developed feelings for you ever since I made you mine for the first time. You were always special Bella. Always."Bella raised her head to look into his eyes. The intensity of his gaze made her cheeks turn red in shyness. Aaron smiled at her, "I was running from my own emotions, not your love, Bella. I never hesitated to play my duty towards Cosa Nostra but that night, I hesitated. For a moment, I wa
"You will?" Bella asked, her eyes gleamed in happiness. She couldn't believe He was actually agreeing to her condition. He nodded. "Yes, I told you, I want you to be with me. After Mom told me the reason for your leaving, I knew I had to clear up your misunderstandings. You left because you didn't want our child to be part of this violence and not because of me so I knew I can't let you go," He pushed her softly to make her stand in front of him. "What are you scared of Bella? Tell me?" He asked. "About me running the crime world, if I stop running it someone else will do it. Have you ever thought about what would happen when I would suddenly quit. I have enemies Bella, they don't care if I quit Cosa Nostra or not. They want me dead. They are not attacking because they know what I will do to them, what my men will do to them. Death is what I will sign the moment I quit this life. There is no chance out of it, Bella. Leave all this and answer one question of mine. You told me that I
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
