"Bella?" Aaron called her as He watched Bella looking lost sitting on the Sofa with a magazine opened in her lap but her attention was not in it.Bella startled hearing Aaron's voice and turned her face to look at her husband. For a moment, She considered asking him to keep Asher away from Sabrina but restrained herself because she trusted her sister enough that she would break all her ties with Asher. And she didn't want to become the reason for the rift between the brothers. "Bella, what happened? You seem tense?"She stood up from the sofa and smiled at him. "No, I am not tense, actually, I was waiting for you. I cooked for us but you are late once again.""I was working," He said, resting his hand against her face softly. But his answer made her frown, "Working? But Aaron, I made your schedule, your meetings ended at five."Aaron sighed at her unending questions. "My office ended at five, Bella not my work. I am the boss, I decide when to wrap my work." Bella stiffened as she se
Bella watched the beautiful painting showcased on the wall, the vibrant colours on the canvas hypnotized her, she wanted to buy it for herself but she couldn't buy such an expensive piece of art. Twenty-five thousand dollars were way out of her league. Bella always loved art exhibitions and visited many during her college time before everything that happened to her, Alas! Life went on and her love for paintings got lost under the burden of responsibilities. Yesterday, when she was making Aaron's schedule she noticed this Painting exhibition and auction for underprivileged children in Africa and she wanted to join him for this event but didn't want to ask him. But Aaron was an observant man. He noticed the wistfulness in Bella's voice when she recited to him about this auction so He asked her to join him, Bella agreed immediately and here she was enjoying the beautiful art of various famous artists. But this one particular painting caught her eyes. "Nice work," Bella frowned, she h
Bella fluttered her eyes open as she watched Aaron sleeping beside her. He looked so handsome while sleeping that she only wanted to stare at his face.She smiled, recalling how caring He was when they returned home yesterday. He didn't leave her alone for the whole day and worked from home. He called one of the chefs from his mother's house to prepare dinner for them and then Bella slept the whole night in his arms, peacefully. She stretched her hand to touch his face but gave up on the idea and moved closer to his face. "Why are you so handsome, Mr. Machine," she whispered softly so that He wouldn't wake up but unaware of the fact that it was impossible for him to not wake up even at the slightest sound. He was hearing everything she was saying, "My beautiful Machine," she chuckled at his nickname and placed a soft kiss on his cheek before getting out of the bed silently and went to shower. After showering she donned a mid-length nightie as she decided to cook breakfast, she woul
"The Velenoso is asking for the CCTV footage of the art gallery, Master," Kim told Killian as she entered his room and sat on his lap. "Tell Joseph to give it to him. After all there is nothing in it."Kim nodded. "As per your instructions, a different footage has been provided to the art gallery's security team."Killian smirked, "I will enjoy this game in the long run, what do you say, how much time will it take The Velenoso to understand that I want his wife?" He asked, tracing the outline of her breast. His eyes were dark and full of intimidation. "You will be far ahead of him in achieving your purpose, Master," her answer pleased him and the smirk on his face widened. "You deserve a prize for your work, Kim. Ask for anything.""Anything, Master?" She asked. She wanted to make sure he would not punish her if he found her question infuriating. Killian sequenced his eyes. "Anything, Kim." He answered. "Will you stop fucking me after you get her?"Killian laughed at her insecur
When Aaron entered De Luca's restaurant, Flavio was already sitting there with his wife and the De Luca clan. He gritted his jaws in anger, seeing his second-in-command, Flavio who should be standing beside him not sitting with De Luca. Composing himself, He moved to them. "I thought it's a business meeting, not a family dinner, De Luca," Aaron commented when He reached the table they were sitting upon. "This is a family meeting, actually, Aaron." De Luca smiled standing up. Flavio stood up when he watched Aaron standing beside De Luca.Rosalina and Cara's father, Maximus followed De Luca's lead and stood up as well. Aaron watched them as they all stood up except for one and that was Cara. Flavio noticed Aaron's gaze on his wife, he grabbed her hand and made her stand on her feet. Cara winced in pain inwardly, her body aching from the beating he gave her after their lunch with Killian. This time he beat her like a mad animal. She was wearing a full-sleeved long dress to hide her br
"Aaron…" Flavio's voice stopped him from sitting in the car. He gestured to Marcus to close the door of the car and turned around to face his second in command. Flavio's wife was standing beside him, Aaron ignored her and fixed his gaze on Flavio, waiting for him to speak. "The things De Luca offered…" he started but Aaron didn't let him finish, He moved forward and stopped in his face. "First of all, I didn't interrupt you inside in front of outsiders but let me clear you one thing precisely. You will not call me by any name except Boss. And secondly, I don't discuss my business on roads, Flavio. You are my second-in-command, Velenoso’s second-in-command, so behave like one." He warned him. Flavio gritted his jaws but remained calm. Gone are the days when he used to call him ‘Aaron’ or ‘Cousin’. Now he was under him by rank. The only cons of being second in command. "I know I am your second-in-command and you didn't like that I was sitting with the De Luca clan rather than join
"Say what you want to say," Aaron asked Flavio after settling on the chair of his Cosa Nostra office. It was almost two in the night and He was having a namesake meeting with Flavio. "I hope you are not angry with me anymore…" Aaron raised a finger at him, "I don't have time to talk about stupid things, Flavio. So stop this rubbish and tell me your plan."Flavio gritted his jaws but nodded anyways. "We don't know what Killian will do in the next moment, he is pissed at us because you killed the Senator for not agreeing to our trade deals and blamed it on Killian. He suffered an FBI investigation, his whole organisation was about to come in front of the feds. His image was ruined in society. He had to pay big money to get it back and now he wants revenge on us for putting him through all this."Aaron pointed his gaze on him and leaned forward. "I don't need a revision on my history with Killian from you Flavio. I wrote this chapter of history between me and Killian Mcmanus. What I want
Aaron was enraged, He needed to calm the fury pounding in his mind and body. He typed the code to enter his penthouse on the keypad, the door opened and he entered with the thought of being with his wife. He needed to get this agitation out of him without losing his mind in doing so. He had two options: torture some tied-up man in one of his cells or Be with his wife. He chose the second option. He wanted his wife's proximity and presence to eradicate some of his rage. Only the pleasure of her body could make him forget this fury for sometime until the end of the man who was trying to rule over his organisation under his reign. Because Aaron didn't want to torture a tied-up man in his cell. No! He wanted to annihilate the man who was disturbing his organisation. Aaron was thinking about all the things that would mess up if He acts it out in anger. He was a man who plans before action but only Aaron knew how hard it's for him to control his emotions when all He wanted to do was bur
