Arthur’s POV
I was waiting for Sam in my Range rover with Lukas, Max, and Tyler, he was in the hotel to enquire about Ryder. Well, Ryder was one of our gang members who stole from us and tried to harm another member on the way out.
Technically, I really don’t know what was the need for it, if he needed money we would have given it to him for whatever reason he needed it, but he betrayed us and I might be a cool mafia to deal with but I can never let any fucking person betray us.
Sam returned with a dejected look which was enough to tell me that that fucking basted is not here anymore. Ryder, you will pay for it for sure, I will torture you with my own hands so that it sends a message to each and every fucking person who even thinks about betraying me and my gang.
“What Happened?”
“He left just a few hours ago,” said Sam with frustration. He is just as frustrated as me to catch him, we all are more like a family, and we cannot tolerate such acts with anyone.
“Just Make sure he is not leaving this City; it would be more complicated to catch him if he does,” I told Sam and he nodded.
We were driving back when suddenly I saw Ryder who was trying to escape the red light and there was someone with him, well luck is with us we tried to stop and catch both of them but he saw us and started running. Sam tried to shoot him but I stopped him, it was too risky, someone else might get shot they were way ahead than us but we chased them and suddenly they vanished, just like that.
“Fuck. Search for them, I want both of them alive.” I was losing my patience now and that is not a good thing.
“Max, Tyler, go and search to the buildings in right, Lukas come with me to left,” Sam told the boys and they started searching for them as that was a dead-end road, I spotted the guy who was with Ryder going in a building which was pale blue with a lot of boards, that was a building with one floor for some academy and another for some dance classes.
“Not a good hiding spot idiot.” I followed the stairs and saw that there was some security to enter the classes so that’s obvious that he would have not gone there. Then I went to the second floor and saw that there was no security, the person can easily hide here. There was one girl at the reception who was more indulged in her cell phone than she should be but I tried my luck to ask her if she saw a man with some specifics I noticed about him.
“A lot of people come here every now and then do you think I would remember each and every person?” She said
I was on the edge now, if she shows her attitude again, she will regret it, I thought maybe she would open up with some money so I opened my wallet and gave her a bill of 100.
“Maybe this would help!” I said and her eyes lightened as she saw that bill, she glanced over her surrounding and found no one so took it and said “One man just rushed inside a few moments back, do you need a tour of the place so that you can find him out yourself?” she was now staring at my wallet again and I knew what she meant. I gave her another one and she just took it with lightning speed. She stood and asked me to follow her and I did the same making sure that I don’t miss out even a single person.
As we entered, the sound of music hit me, I knew this song
“Wait, if I'm on fire,
How am I so deep in love? (In love)
When I dream of dyin' (dyin', dyin')
I never feel so loved… “
It was Trampoline by Zayn, well I love music, who doesn’t? but I was focused on searching for that bastard. I saw everywhere but couldn’t locate him, then I searched for other rooms and was disappointed that he’s nowhere to be found. I even checked if there is any passage or window by which he can jump off but found none.
Suddenly, I thought of checking in the first room again as it had a lot more people and there might be a chance I missed him. I entered back and the same song was playing but the dancers got changed, well they all are doing great but one, this one girl, there was something about her, her moves were clear like she has been practicing it for a long time, her body, damm she is way too sexy, all her curves are just perfect, she is not too skinny but not too bulky, her dark brown hair just compliments her skin tone and her dark brown eyes are just a sight too good to be true. She is not wearing some sexy clothes or anything but she attracts me like no one ever has. Her expression is what is different from others, it’s like she is dancing with all her heart and no one else matters, and then she smiled, got dammit, that smile is itself a turn on for me, how can anyone be so fucking beautiful, but she looks totally innocent like she doesn’t know the reality of the world and thinks everyone is just good or something.
The song ended and her expressions changed drastically, not giving a fuck to anyone she came out of the room to the washroom and I followed her, to notice I have not searched the washrooms.
It was a common one for both males and females so I was relieved. The last thing I want right now is for a girl to blame me for eve-teasing. Not like anyone can do anything to me but it's just not my thing. I don't think there is any pleasure in forcing a girl. Only a sick bastard would do such a thing.
I glanced at the receptionist and gave her an idea that I am going to use the washroom and as I entered, I saw that man in front of her pointing his gun at her, my blood boiled and I took out my gun but suddenly she pulled his hand towards the other side and flipped him on the ground and by the sudden shock he was unable to respond and dropped his gun huh Loser. She was now punching him hard, really hard and I can see his blood everywhere now. She gave him at least 10 punches on his face and he was now half-conscious. Man, this girl is something!
“Stop, you will kill him!”
Arthur's POV“Stop, you will kill him!” and she stopped giving me a hard glare. Her eyes met mine, and at that very moment she realized what she did and stood up from him, leaving that guy on the floor who was unable to even stand.I called Sam and asked him to come here and get the guy. She came to me and asked “Do you know him?” her voice, so light, she is so soft-spoken just like her looks, but only if you know what this girl did a few moments back…
Arthur’s POVAfter about 6 hours of extreme torture, that bastard broke. Well, I must say he was hard to open but was worth it. Right now, I am not in a mood to talk as everyone knows what happens when I get in this angry mode. I went to the bathroom to get a cool shower and change my clothes. I always have a spare pair over here for such events. I got undressed and stood underneath the cold drops of water. I wanted my mind to relax but it had other plans.
Sam came in my study with some documents which I knew was a background check on that girl and its quite impressive that he got it done in less than a day.“Everything about that girl who knows how to punch,” Sam said grinning and I chuckled.“Let’s see what you got little girl,” I said and as I opened the document her photo was there pinned and it looked like it was taken recently. She was wearing a dark maroon tracksuit with white stripes and Nike shoes with no makeup and still, she managed to look so beautiful. I flipped the page to notice her name “ Ava Williams”.
Ava's POV“What do you do Arthur?” I asked him and she started to think of something but quickly replied “ I am a bodyguard, the guy tried to kill the person I guard so we were searching for him,” Okay, that explains a lot.“What about you?” He asked,“Well professionally I work as a manager in a start-up but I love music so you would find me here
Arthur’s POVI knew today would be a great day. I wanted to know more about Ava and the best way to do that was to join those classes. When she came in and started talking to that instructor I could not control myself from staring at her, she was wearing all blue tracksuit which was loose for her but still showed her curves, and her hair was left in its natural way, all straight.She was not wearing any makeup again. I got back so that she doesn’t see me and when they all started practicing
Arthur's POVI took her car keys and gave it to Max who was driving Range Rover and asked him to give it off for servicing. I took her number and dialed it.“Hello” Her beautiful voice, from the other side came, she is more soft-spoken in calls…“Hi, mm I know it's weird but this is Arthur and please save my number, I am sorry I took it without asking but I had to make sure y
Ava’s POVArthur just disappeared after getting that call, he didn’t even tell me he’s leaving and that’s making me angry. I know he might be having something important that needed to be handled but at least he can tell me he’s leaving or even a text could have been great."That was a great day! What are you doing now?" John asked me."I am heading home now. I have
Ava's POVIt’s been a week since Arthur was gone and every day I just wait for his call or to see him in dance class but he never showed up.I called him a few times but he picked and told me he will call back but didn’t. He was not even replying to my texts.To be frank, I should not be surprised, people leave my life all the time the same way but I had never expected him to
Ava’s POVWe don’t decide a lot of things in our life but most of them are the outcomes of our actions and emotions. We decide our path, take our chances, and make our own destiny but a few things just are not in our control. If I look back at myself a few years back, I choose to be weak by thinking I am strong. I was not, I was hiding behind from my feelings all that while but he made me realize what I needed the most.When I first met Arthur, I never knew he will become my forever, the person I will love the m
Ava’s POVThe day is finally here, I am getting married to the love of my life, the mafia leader to become his wife.Unlike many brides, I am not freaking out. I am sure about Arthur and our future.I glanced at myself one last time in the mirror, the plain white body fit gown is looking elegant on me, showing my curves perfectly.
Arthur’s POV“It's time to say goodbye.""I know it's harsh and sudden but being a mafia, we understand the uncertainty and risk we all have in our life” I sighed looking at Ava, her beautiful brown eyes filled with tears.She’s wearing all black dress Sam got for her when she came to our home. I can sense her getting weak, she’s about to break down.
Ava's POV“Now give me a kiss my love,” He said forcing himself on me.His filthy lips were harsh and he bite my lip. I let him do what he wants and started kissing him back for him to think I have given in.To let him think I am his. From the side of my eyes I saw Arthur, he was hurt, he was angry.Sorry Arthur, I know you are hur
Arthur’s POV.Losing Sam is not easy for me but as Ava said, it's not the time to sob. But I will not let Ava do anything stupid. I cannot afford to lose her.“We can ask Omera for help,” I said and Ava nodded.“He must be leaving for Italy and we can go with him, Sergei would not be able to track us that way,” I said and called Omera for help which he agreed.
Ava's POV“I am sorry but he couldn’t make it.” He said and I pulled his collar in anger.“What do you mean he couldn’t make it? How dare you not save him” I pushed the doctor and barged into the surgery room.The nurses got scared of me and stepped back.
Ava's POVArthur started introducing me to everyone and it was tiring, way tiring.First I met Charles from Boston,Jay from India,Christian from Seattle,Omera from Italy,
Ava’s POVI don’t know what to think right now! I AM GETTING MARRIED.‘Am I ready for this?’ I asked myself and Arthur held my hand sensing what’s on my mind.His little gesture made me sure about my decision.I want to spend my whole
Arthur’s POVA lot has been happening but the only thing in my mind right now is Ava agreed to marry me.I just couldn’t believe it, after what all happened between us, I was scared she would not accept me. But she forgave me and accepted this stupid man forever.I was shocked yesterday seeing her the way she was handling everything.
