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.

    Bella's hands were shaking continuously as if she was standing under the heavy snowfall but the weather was not cold. It was a hot summer evening and people would kill to feel the ocean breeze which she was feeling now but instead of enjoying it, she was chilled to the core. Her heart hammered hard against her rib cage, consciousness gripped her every step when she moved further among the crowd of intimidating people. She barely knew a few faces there but everyone was watching her and murmuring among themselves. Their faces held similar expressions of shock, as if they were watching something unimaginable. The spotlight on her followed her every step. She was looking like an angel descending directly on the earth in that black enticing dress. Few tendrils adorned her face, out of her low bun. Bella's steps started to waver but she recalled Aaron's words when He handed her the dress she was wearing now. When you walk up to me, hold your head high.

    Asher finished the cigarette he was smoking and tapped it on the ashtray before throwing it out of the window in his cabin where he came to use the restroom. He frowned when he heard the loud sound of clapping from outside. He checked himself in the mirror and strolled out of the cabin to see what the sound was for. His Nonno wouldn't cut the cake without him. So that would mean only one thing he could think of and that was his brother had introduced his fiancee to the world finally. His eyes widened in excitement, thinking he would finally meet the woman his brother was marrying. He also wants to know who she is, because he was going to be the best Brother-in-law a woman could ask for, he only wants to see his Eldy happy. He was walking as fast as he could, running was out of the question for Asher, he was the brother of Velenoso and had a standard to maintain. "Finally, I found you, Asher."Asher stopped and made a face full of pure disgust upon hearin

    Bella was confused over the way He was devotedly looking after her throughout the party and even now when He was dropping her back home. There was not a moment when she felt uneasy in his presence and whenever felt overwhelmed, He was there for her. "You were perfect tonight. I hope you maintain this properness for further events, Miss Ferrari." She nodded. "I will," she said and waited for him to speak further but He didn't and glued his eyes to his laptop. Back to being a robot, she thought and looked out the window. She couldn't believe her life changed in just twenty-four hours. She was used to travelling in her grandfather's barely working car, not this limousine she was sitting in at this moment. The clothes she was wearing were more than her two year's salary and she couldn't even guess the price of the jewellery she was wearing. She recalled how expensive jewellery she bought when He ordered her to buy something expensive for someone.

    "So we were right, you have been dating him."Bella closed her eyes for a moment and left the breath she was holding. Her sister was definitely in a mood and when she was in the mood, she burst like a volcano. She was not going to let this matter go easily. And Bella could only pray to Mother Mary that her sister didn't say something inappropriate to Aaron. "You disappointed me today, Bella. I thought I would be the first person you would be sharing your secrets with but I was wrong!" Elena Ferrari said to her granddaughter who suddenly came home with her fiance. She was disappointed in Bella for the first time. Bella went to her grandmother and held her hand. "Nonna. It's not what you are thinking. I wanted to tell you but things were not right…" Bella stopped. She didn't know what lie to tell her."What things?" Elena Demanded in a strict tone. She knows Bella only calls her Nonna when she wants to butter her or feel sorry about something. Elena looked at Aaron who was standing

    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
