Chapter-2

"Aaron Salvatore Knight, dream of every young girl…" she eyed him up and down as if she was checking a thing before buying it. "But my reality. I had my eyes on you for a long time, Aaron. This well-built body and dark eyes had made me turn in bed many nights," She said in a seductive voice which increased Aaron's fury tenfold but He gulped his anger and stood there with false calmness when He was anything but calm. He hated it when someone touched him without his permission and the girl was doing exactly that.

She graciously moved closer to him, inhaled his masculine scent and traced her finger on his hand. "I admire you, Velenoso and I know you are also attracted to me. We would be a perfect pair, Aaron. The world will be ours. I will be your queen and you will be my king and together we will rule over the Crime world of New York City and The USA."

Aaron gritted his jaw in fury, clutched her hand which was holding his forearm. Rosalina gasped but her eyes twinkled in excitement. She preferred it rough and looking at Aaron's hot body she knew that she would be highly satisfied with him.

Aaron eyed her short red dress which left little to the imagination. "You and my wife? You are just a cheap skank who is trying to get the attention of her next client but you failed. So you better find someone else who gets blown away with your fake body because your plastic figure doesn't interest me a bit." He jerked her hand in the air and walked away from there leaving a fuming Rosalina behind.

Aaron was boiling in bitterness by the audacity of these people who were hell bent on getting on his nerves tonight. He wanted to take a shower and change his clothes because that worthless woman touched him. He gritted his jaw and swallowed his anger. It was not the place to show anger. Cosa Nostra respects the traditions far too much for Aaron's taste. Marriages are sacred, a place where no violence is allowed. Not that the other Mafia families had ever respected that tradition but Cosa Nostra had always done it and Aaron had to accept it for now, to show that He respected the traditions of Cosa Nostra.

He sighed in relief when his cell phone rang. He had been waiting for the call for a long time.

With a satisfactory smirk on his face He picked the call and talked with the senate candidate but the music and hustle-bustle from the ballroom was disturbing his conversation so He walked into the secluded corner on the other side of the floor. He stood near the huge window of some room and resumed his discussion with the Senator candidate but suddenly his eyes went to a window and He stilled, seeing the scene in front of him.

He tilted his head with a slight frown on his face when He couldn't recognize the girl on the other end of the room. His frown deepened when He saw what she was doing. "Who is she?" He muttered under his breath as He watched her with an unblinking gaze.

"Mr Knight? Are you with me?" Oliver Harris asked on the other end but Aaron's mind had shifted from his conversation with Harris. At that moment his mind was fixed on the spectacle event in front of him.

He had moved all his attention to the opened window as He witnessed, a girl jumped inside from the other side of the opened window and nearly fell. He was watching everything with a curious gaze. His calculating mind got suspicious about the girl being some kind of spy.

The girl grumbled something while standing straight and brushing off her clothes which were loose pants with a long shirt. Another girl approached her suddenly and handed her a bag before running off.

Aaron reckoned that it was the pantry attached to the kitchen area seeing the items there. The girl opened the bag in a rush and pulled out the waitress's uniform. Aaron understood she was one of them. He kept talking on the phone disregarding her movements but His eyes froze the second the girl hurriedly took off her shirt and pants leaving only in her black undergarments. He could see everything clearly because the window was half-open.

Unconsciously Aaron’s eyes stared at her perfect figure under the yellow lights. She was of good height and good body shape. Her movements were too fast with tensed features. She was rattling something to herself in a low voice when she wore her skirt but when she wore the shirt, her head raised and her eyes pierced directly into his grey eyes looking intently at her.

She paused, buttoning up her white shirt buttons and broadened her eyes. She could see the tall man on the other side of the window, ogling at her with his intent grey eyes. But she was unable to see his face as He had his face turned to the other side, only his eyes could be seen with the hand on his phone attached to the ear.

She stepped ahead to see him and that's when Aaron was greeted with the most elegant and unique face of a girl. Though there were dim lights, it couldn't hide the natural beauty of a girl who had big rounded innocent eyes with thick eyebrows, sharp cheekbones, full lips and cute little nose on her oblong face shape. Her beautiful dark brown hair was adding more beauty to her face but she looked more appealing in her angry look to Aaron.

She was a rare beauty which He ever saw in his life but when He gazed at her moving lips, his eyes flickered. She was saying something under her breath. He was sure it was directed to him.

“Pervertito! Bastardo!”

But when she whispered the third word with her red face in fury, He clenched his jaws and his eyes turned dark even more.

“Vaffanculo!”

"Call me again, tomorrow," He said into the phone and ended the call without listening to the other person's response.

Aaron fisted his hand and walked back to the place. Though He was intrigued by the girl’s behaviour but He was not pleased with her unwelcoming whispered words.

He gritted his jaw at the words that the girl was throwing at him. He only wished that He don't see her again because if that happen He might end up killing her.

“Bella, what the hell are you still doing?” Suddenly a slow screeching voice rang in their ears. Scarlett, Bella’s friend, jogged towards her with an apprehensive look. She looked at Bella’s unimpressed attire and shook her head.

“Wear your tie and come fast, Peter is gonna eat us raw.” Scarlett moaned and threw the tie at Bella. Bella buttoned her shirt hastily and looked at the direction where Aaron was standing but nobody was there.

Bella let out a satisfied sigh. She was glad to use the Italian cursing her sister taught her and it came out handy for her today. She couldn't offend these arrogant wealthy people in any way but Obviously that creepy stranger wouldn't understand it which made her giggle silently. Shaking her head, she dashed with her friend to their captain to start their work.

"Bella Ferrari! The party started an hour ago. You are late, again!" Peter rebuked Bella who thinned her lips and she bowed her head slightly.

“I apologise but my car broke down, Peter."

Peter closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head. "Why do you still drive that death trap? If I was not in dire need of staff today I would have fired you by now," He admonished.

Bella bit her lips, giving an apologised gaze. She couldn't afford getting fired and thanked her unlucky stars which for once had turned lucky. "I won't be late again. I promise I won't disappoint you again."

"You say that every second day. At least respect your words if not your work, Bella," Peter muttered and walked away.

Scarlett left the breath she was holding, she turned on her heels and rolled her eyes in relief. "I guess we are blessed that he is short of staff today."

Bella made a face.

“Oh please, don't feed his fake ego. He can't fire us because we do our work more diligently than others. He just likes to intimidate us with our jobs.” Bella stated the facts. Scarlett nodded thoughtfully.

“Let's go and start our duty or he would really fire me for not working. I wanted to impress him tonight so He couldn't spit any insults in my way.”

Scarlett smirked. “We are lucky that he is a soft hearted teddy bear for a boss. He threw insults but not too harshly, I still remember that old hog I used to work with before peter. Still, I got your point. There is no good in getting scolded everyday. Let's go and impress our teddy bear today."

Bella and Scarlett moved to the crystal ballroom and started their duties of serving. She saw how the place was so magnificent and incredible with the people cladded in high branded clothes and accessories and their aura seemed quite intimidating like it was not a reception party but a business one. This party was quite distinctive compared to others she worked for.

But these people are just a facade of royalty. These wealthy people can never do good to others. She had experienced the bitter taste of their richness in the past and since then she pledged to never get involved or stuck in their ways. Belle shook her head to dump out her sore thoughts and walked ahead professionally.

Scarlett moved to the opposite direction saving herself from serving at the bar area. Bella understood how smartly Scarlett threw her to the wolves. Bella pressed a forced smile to her face and served the guests professionally but she was not aware that a hurricane was about to come in her life.
