"Is something bothering you, Bella? You look disturbed."

Bella got startled hearing Marcus' voice and the file she was holding fell from her hands in anxiety.

"Okay, what's the problem?" He asked, picking the file from the floor and putting it on Bella's desk. "You are definitely not fine, you look pale, what happened to you? Are you feeling sick, Bella?"

Bella swallowed the tight lump that formed in her throat and shook her head. "Fi…fine. I am fine. Just a little cold." She answered and opened the file again with her shaky hands.

Marcus frowned and held her hand, "You don't look fine at all, and it doesn't seem like a little cold," he said, feeling the warmth of her skin. "You are burning up in fever Bella."

Bella palmed her forehead. "I am fine." She whispered.

"No, you are not," he declared and called the reception on the ground floor and ordered the front desk employee to send the required medicine to him. He snatched the file out of Bella's hand. "Sit down calmly and take a br

    Bella couldn't focus on the file contents on her laptop. She was too tied up with her problem and the solution Marcus had given her. She kept thinking about it but then shook her head. She couldn't just go and ask Her boss to help her, could she? No, of course she couldn't do it. She answered her own question. Asking for his help means she had to reveal her past and Bella was not courageous enough to share her dirty secret with her boss. Moreover, Why would He help her? She was just a normal employee, who, according to him, didn't even work efficiently in the office. Bella couldn't even guess why He took her under his wings in Knight company in the first place, let alone predicting his willingness to help her.She had to find some other way, but does she have any other way? She was lost in her thoughts when the ringing sound of a landline on her desk brought her back to reality. Her eyes broadened as she noticed the small red dot after Aaron's name blinking ferociously on the base un

    She needed to ask for Aaron’s help whatever it costs. She wiped her tears and thought of going to Marcus to learn something. As she turned, her nightmare was already standing in front of her with the dirty smirk on his face. Bella’s breath hitched and she turned pale looking at Stephan. When did he get here?She was terrified and stepped back but he advanced towards her with a sick smile. He walked close to her and gazed up and down at her with lust and disgust. “So you are spreading your legs for your billionaire boss, huh! Such a bitch you have become with your beauty, darling. But I can always give you more. That's why I'm here.” His tone was sickly desired. “Go away. Don't come close to me.” She stuttered but he only strode to her and yanked her hand before pulling her towards him.“I don't come here to go back, Bella. I won't leave you this time when I get you back by luck. What's your decision? Did you think about it? I want you and I will get you t

    "Six years ago, I was in the second year of my MBA. Stephen was my classmate. He asked me out many times but I always turned him down like others because I was more focused on my career. So…" she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and started again, “..he asked to be my friend and I accepted that. He was a nice guy.. or so I thought. Our friendship deepened with time. He always made me laugh and helped me with some college stuff and other things. One day he asked me to go to a club party with him. It was his friend's birthday. I have grown to trust him so I agreed thinking there would be my other friends.…" Bella inhaled sharply through her mouth. She was recalling the time like a flash. "I didn't know it was a vicious plan. There he.. spi..spiked my drink and…and with his friends help he…recorded my nudes…" Bella hid her face into her hands as she kept sobbing recalling that horrid day when she was in her intoxicated state. She behaved like a sex-starving wench. Stephen took

    Bella couldn't sleep the whole night. It was five in the morning and she was still awake. No one could understand how much courage she mustered up to reveal her past with him and He dismissed her without any regard.Bella gulped her saliva and sniffed. Her eyes had turned dry after sobbing the whole night. Her sister and grandmother questioned her ashen complexion and shaky behaviour when she stepped into the home yesterday evening but she dodged them lying it was work stress.Bella sat up in the bed pulling her knees to her chest. Every time the clock on her wall ticked her heartbeat inflated with it. Suddenly, her cell phone blinked, Bella flinched at the sound. She looked at her cell phone with fear-filled eyes."Oh Mother Mary…" she whispered anxiously and picked the cellphone to check the notification. Her heart was racing hard as she thought the message was from Stephen.Bella stared at the screen of her phone, numbly. She blinked thrice to make sure she w

    Aaron slowly released her lazily. He was in his shirt and pants but the thing was that shirt was fully open exposing his brilliant muscular chest and abs on display. Bella swallowed the thick saliva in her throat.She felt too personal with him like this. Suddenly the air around her turned thick and hot and her fearful thoughts fade away. “Are you done ogling me?” Aaron asked, irritated. “Huh!”She felt stupid for staring at him like a hungry wolf. Aaron crossed his hands over his chest, his muscles flexed by doing so which Bella couldn't ignore. She stood there like a deer caught in the daylight.“I was… Startled. Sorry!” she muttered. “If the breakfast is ready, can you serve me?” He asked, ignoring her unasked statement.She nodded her head and Aaron walked to the dining table. She served him the dishes and waited for him to taste them.“Are you not going to eat?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. Just then her stomach growled as she didn't h

    Mrs Aaron Salvatore knight!Mrs Aaron Salvatore.Mrs Aaron…MRS…His words chanted in her mind in repeating mode then suddenly she laughed. “Haha… sorry, I think I heard something wrong...” “You heard me perfectly, Bella!” Aaron said curtly, showing his seriousness and looking at her nervous smile. Slowly her smile waned into a blank look. She blinked up at him. Aaron was gauging her reaction but seeing her jammed on the spot He had to walk close to her and shake her.“Are you alright?” “What did you say?” she whispered with a blank mind. Aaron sighed.“You are going to be my wife and that's my deal to you, Bella Ferrari.” The second after He told her, she fell into his arms, fainting.“Bella! Fuck!” He cursed and held her in his arms before carrying her to the couch to settle her on it. He grabbed the water bottle and sprinkled water on her face. After trying for a few minut

    Bella's heart thumped heavily in her chest. Fear and Anxiety gripped her mind tightly in their hold, not receiving his call. But he kept calling her until she accepted it with shaking hands. "My Dear Bella, guess what? I am waiting in the park outside your house. Come down, sweetheart!"Bella sat straight in her bed and clutched the bed sheet tightly in her fist.“You took quite a time to pick up my call, Bella. If you won't come down in a minute, I will post the video on the internet!" "No plea…" she tried to beg but he had already ended the call by then before gritting, “Now!”Bella stood up with lightning speed and ran to meet Stephan.It was already dark outside. The roads were empty, and so was the park. It was not hard for Bella to spot him. She was trembling all over as she walked to him. He had this proud smirk playing on his face, it sickened her when she stood in front of him. "Finally, You are here…" he extended his

    The cruise was tightly packed. Every high-ranking mafia man was there with their wives, fiances or family to give birthday wishes to the man who started Cosa Nostra in Sicily and from there spread his kingdom to Italy and finally came to New York to rule over it, Giovanni Salvatore!"I hope you will get your wish fulfilled, Gio. We have waited long enough for you to declare the new Capo of Cosa Nostra," Giovanni nodded at his old ally and once his consigliere, when he was the Capo of Cosa Nostra. "Where is Aaron?" Ethan whispered slowly to Asher who shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. He didn't tell me, Dad.""Then try to find out, Ash. Be useful for once!" He snapped at his younger son who turned pale at the insult among hundreds of men."Don't plunge your anger on him when you can't talk to Aaron. He will be thirty in a fortnight, Papa will have to announce Flavio as the new Capo then!" Olivia berated her husband. "He won't, Mama.

    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.

    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.

    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
