Aaron's fingers twitched and He tried to snatch his hand out of her hold but Bella shook her head, "What happened here? Oh Mother Mary, this looks too deep," Her heart clenched as she inspected his red swollen palm, "why did you leave it open, what if it gets infected?" "We are going to the doctor, now." She tried to stand up but Aaron grabbed her hand. "I don't need a doctor, Bella. It's just a small cut."She glared at him, her vision blurred as tears welled in her eyes seeing his swollen flesh. She remembered the last time she bandaged his arm and that time too He didn't care about his wound. His machine mode is just too intense sometimes. "It's not a small cut, Aaron. It needs stitching and you have left this thing open to get an infection!" She sniffed, as she inspected the wound. "Who did this to you? Were you in some kind of robbery or something?" She asked. "It's nothing, Bella.""Tell me how you got it?" She demanded while looking into his eyes. Aaron sighed. "I cut mys
Bella's heart was beating wildly for two completely different reasons. First was the unimaginable kiss which shocked the core of her and second was the surprise she had planned for Aaron.She bit her lip, her heart fluttering as she once again drifted back to live the moments of a few minutes ago. The way He stroked her lower lip and the look in his eyes. It gave her goosebumps all over her body. She was still finding it hard to walk on her jelly legs and Aaron held her hand to steady her. The smile on her face widened when they reached their suite and He pulled the card key to open the door but Bella stopped him. "Aaron, may I open the door for you today?" She asked with a soft smile and innocent eyes. He frowned and handed the card to her without a word. Bella's hands were shaking a little when she swiped the card and opened it a little to peek inside and smiled happily seeing the decoration was exactly like the way she asked for, no roses and a few mild fragrance flowers which wo
Aaron went to a private bar area in the hotel and opened the whiskey bottle to drive away the nightmare He couldn't break out from yet, once again it got alive in his memory as He took the large chuck of liquor from the bottle while looking at the painted wall in front of him in trance. He recalled what happened six years ago…*FLASHBACKS*-------------"I never thought you would accept me this easily, Maria," Gina said, holding Aaron’s hand and smiling at her boyfriend. "I come from a normal middle-class family and he is the heir of the Knight Empire. I never imagined you would accept me with open arms."Maria looked into the rear view mirror and smiled at his brother, "He is not the heir of the Knight Empire, Gina. I am," they both knew Maria was talking about Cosa Nostra not the legal Knight Empire. "...and as far as accepting you in the family is concerned, my brother loves you and that's the only thing that mattered to me."Aaron smiled and kissed his sister’s cheek. "My sister w
"Maria…" Aaron cried. “Don't close your eyes…" He jerked her hard to make her open her eyes. Aaron yelled her name again and again as He tried to give her mouth-to-mouth but It was in vain. He kissed her forehead, life had already left her and what remained in his arms was the corpse of his sister.His strong and brave sister left him and everything behind in just a few seconds and He couldn't do anything to save him. Aaron didn't know for how long He remained seated there with Maria's body. She was laughing, talking just a few hours ago and now she is dead. Dead! He kept staring at her lifeless eyes. Aaron was numb. Blank. Empty. His gaze was unblinking until a loud scream pierced through his ears and his mother ran to him. "Maria!" She cried seeing her daughter, bloodied and lifeless in her son's arms. "Aaron…what happened here!" She breathed heavily. "Hosp…hospital. We need to take her to the hospital!!" She touched her face with shaky fingers. "Maria, I won't let anything happ
Bella fluttered her eyes open in the morning. Her neck was stiff from sleeping in an awkward position. She stretched her hands to ease the stiffness in her shoulders. Once her body relieved tension she sighed deeply as last night's incident flashed in her memory and once again tears welled her eyes. She slowly stood up and looked around with an aching body. The room was brutally destroyed. She wiped the tears from her swollen eyes and looked for Aaron in his room but He was not there. She looked into the balcony, it was empty too. Her stomach clenched in fear, thinking what if He hurt himself. She recalled the cut on his hand and with shaky fingers, she called on his phone. But He didn't accept the call, she tried many times but everytime the call went to voicemail.Bella didn't know what to say on voicemail, she had no idea if she was entitled to say anything at all or not, a sob left her mouth, "I am sorry, Aaron. Please come back." She whispered before ending the call. She paced a
Bella inhaled deeply to calm her racing heart when Aaron laid her on his bed carefully and straightened up as He stared at the pure and innocent beauty in front of him. He eyed her from head to toe, her long black wet hair curled slightly. There was a blush on her cheeks and her breathing was shallow. No one looked as enticing as she looked at this moment, her beauty was raw and pure, bare of any artificial effect. His wife was pure in every way, from in and out. He swallowed as the tension in his body was increasing just by looking at her. He couldn't imagine what would happen when He would actually touch her intimately. Firework! Something shifted inside Aaron seeing her waiting for him, the girl who didn't allow anyone to touch her was waiting for him in the bed. A possessive feeling erupted in him at the thought and He promised to make this as pleasurable as He could for her, even if He had to wait for his pleasure. He would gladly do it. Aaron could also see the tension in her
Bella gasped loudly into the kiss, she closed her eyes when He rolled his thumb around her perked nipple, Bella grabbed his shoulders tightly to remain on his lap. Aaron pulled her to him, Bella was basically lying on his body, Aaron left her lips and kissed the pulse on her neck, teasing the spot with the tip of his tongue and giving her bosom a soft squeeze. Bella moaned and turned her head to the right, giving him better access to her neck. Aaron slided the bathrobe off her shoulder, exposing her naked flesh to his lips and tongue as He kissed her naked skin everywhere, peppering small kisses, igniting the fire inside her every passing second. He slowly opened the bathrobe fully. Bella was so lost in the world of sensuality that she didn't notice when He laid her down on the bed and took one of her nipples in his mouth, playing with it with his tongue. He squeezed and pinched her another bosom with his free hand and left a groan out of his throat. “So soft!” He murmured. Bella
Bella arched her back in anticipation as Her muscles started easing against his huge manhood. He felt her vagina barrier. He knew it would be painful for her but He needed to break it so that she could enjoy the pleasure afterwards so He kept moving forward. Bella let out a painful cry and grabbed his shoulders tightly when Aaron broke her virginity. She forgot all the pleasure she was feeling and started crying in pain.Aaron halted his movements and pushed his weight on one hand, with the other He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. "I will wait until you get comfortable, my Bella." He cocooned her while peppering soft kisses on her whole face. Bella squeezed her eyes, her face squirmed in pain but she opened her eyes once his lips rested on her pressed lips. She rewarded him with a short soft smile. She wanted him to feel pleasure too. Suddenly Bella's thoughts went to the girls who had shared this kind of intimacy with Aaron before her and a sharp jealousy and ache screamed
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
