Aaron tilted his head and stared at the packet resting on the glass table. His scrutinizing eyes couldn't be deceived by the fact that it was his product. His exclusive brand! He raised his eyelids to the two men sitting and waiting for his response keenly. Mr Robert and Mr John exchanged their looks. They were having this meeting in the private section of his famous club. Aaron glanced at Marcus who nodded and grabbed the packet, passed it to Aaron who examined it before taking a deep whiff. His jaws ticked with anger as He slid the packet back on the table roughly. “Are you sure about it?” He questioned the men sitting in front of him. Aaron’s deep and clinical voice perked their attention. “Absolutely. For the past few days, the number of our clients has tripled to buy these packets from our clubs. The sellers are usually foreigners and we investigated from our resources. The Irish parties are selling your so-called exclusive drugs half the price we are selling.” Mr John in
Aaron entered the underground warehouse to greet their brutally beaten bodies and shaky self. William was tied to the chair with a ruined face, Aaron gestured to Marcus to open his handcuffs. As soon as Marcus let him free, William started pleading and crying seeing the death itself in front of him. His other men were beyond terrified seeing Velenoso in his dark glory. If their manager was crying like a pussy then they could only imagine what would happen to them. “Boss, please spare me, I have a family. They…. They blackmailed me to transfer the goods to them. I had no choice..I had no intention...” William started playing a pathetic story even before Aaron could start his interrogation. “For how long you have been betraying and misleading Cosa Nostra, William?” Aaron asked him with an intimidating tone, walking to him and towering over his sitting self. His existence screamed power and authority and his aura emitted only danger. William shivered under his steel like gaze and sh
She gulped her saliva before knocking into the door. She didn't have time to change her attire for the time sake and decided to greet her boss first. After knocking twice, she reckoned that He might not want to see her but she was persistent, at least she could try something to save her job so she opened the door and entered inside without his permission. But Aaron was not there, she watched the Empty chair behind the table and roamed her eyes around his classic office room. Then she found him standing near the big glass window with his back facing her. His hands were pocketed and body was like stone, not moving a bit. She assumed He was in his deep reverie while looking at the outside view of the whole New York City. Bella prepared herself to speak while clutching her handbag tightly.“I..I apologize for coming late, Sir. My car broke down.” She tried to speak normally but her voice came out as a scared stammering kitten. When Aaron didn't move or turned but stayed focused on god
Aaron noticed Bella’s attire the second He raised his eyes to her figure standing there with shock on her gorgeous face. He scanned her clothing and had a satisfied blink. But her face caught his attention, she looked like a fresh bloomed flower shining under the sunlight with her own charming glint. Her beautiful brown eyes were wide as equally as her tempting full glossy lips. Her dark brown hair was set perfectly with silky layers. She looked different and unknowingly attractive to him. He remembered her perfect figure underneath those fabrics on her body. Aaron had come to know many things about her in less time. No doubt she is a gorgeous woman with a good height of five feet and nine inches, taller than an average girl so outfitting a good attire is just a bonus to her figure. It was the first time she looked decent and presentable. Aaron leaned back on the chair while twirling pen on his fingers and followed her surprising gaze. He glimpsed at the wall clock and a smirk pla
"You are obsessed with Velenoso, Sabby. Are you sure you are not in love with him secretly?" Victoria asked her while raising her fingers, air quoting her sentence and giving narrowed eyes to Sabrina. Sabrina rolled her eyes and kept reading the latest news about The Velenoso. She wanted to interview that man. It would be a huge jackpot for her. It would help her CV a big time. Ultimately, It could land her a good job in the media world. "Get a life, Sabby. You are behaving like a career-centered bitch!" Victoria commented, taking another bite of her pizza. She saw through Sabrina’s eyes about her high imaginations. Sabrina finally raised her head from her phone and levelled her gaze at her. "That's because I am a career-centred Bitch,Vicki. Unlike you, my Dad is not a business mogul who can rain money on me."Victoria made a face. "Oh yeah! But why Velenoso? I mean Leena took an interview with a billionaire and she got good marks on her assignment. A big Media house bought it for
"Aaron. Please think about your alliance with Rosalina. What you just informed us increased my worries tenfold. I want you to take over as soon as possible. We don't know how deeply our men are involved with this opponent of ours. De Luca will stand behind you if a war ever breaks out."Aaron shook his head. His mind was fixed on only one thought, who dared to break his empire and succeeded even mildly but still succeeded. "No. I want to find out who this other boss is. I doubted Flavio but he is loyal to Cosa Nostra like a dog is loyal to its owner. He won't do it. I can't think of anyone else."Giovanni nodded but Ethan was still lost thinking about the possibility of people who would dare to cross him and just like his father-in-law he couldn't place a finger on anyone except for Flavio. His father, Riccardo was loyal. He had tested his Loyalty himself a few times. Moreover, He respects Giovanni far too much to go against him but his son Flavio was ambitious. He married For the s
Aaron snapped his head in the direction of the scream. "My father was a loyal man. He respected Cosa Nostra and the traditions it used to stand upon!" Aaron tilted his head and looked at the man who claimed the loyalty of his father to the greatest. He strode towards the man and stood in front of him. "You are William's son, Dario?""Yes, and my father was not a traitor. He was bound to the Traditions of Cosa Nostra unlike you and your father h…" Aaron clutched his neck in a steel grip. His eyes widened and he struggled but there was not anyone who could get free from Velenoso's grip. "My father is your boss and you don't take the name of your boss with disrespect. You kiss the land he walked upon.“ Aaron mentioned loudly to the knowledge of everyone who dared to challenge him. Dario's eyes watered. His face turned red, he was trying to breathe but no use, his windpipe was blocked and then blood came out of his mouth and within a few minutes he was dead. The people stood there ter
“Who?" Sabrina asked. Her eyes glimmered, hearing the news."Asher Salvator Knight. He is my sister's classmate. He came from a rich background and he is familiar with…" She moved a little closer to Sabrina to speak in her ear so that no one could hear her saying the name of the Mafia king everyone is scared of. "...The Velenoso."Sabrina frowned. "Are you sure, Ariel? Because I find it hard to believe.” She was dubious about the whole situation. How can a Richie rich in her college know about him and even dared to share this information to his friends. “The Velenoso is a Mafia king and people like him keep in touch with billionaires, so I have heard. You are trying really hard to take his interview and I thought this might be helpful for you so I shared this information. I was just trying to help Sabrina."Sabrina sharpened her eyes as she looked at her classmate. They were not friends but not rivals either. Her field of interest in Journalism was Fashion and Celebrity gossip while
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
