[ Aitana ]"Did you kill my mother?"I asked holding my breath on the thin cord of hope that I might be manipulated by my family as my father was nothing but a snake who could feed upon his own blood for the sake of his selfish motives.I had been oblivious to his dark side in all these years, perhaps he wanted me to come to a ripe age before he introduce me to the real Liam Grayson."Excuse me?"His eyes widened at my unexpected question while his perplexed frowns knitted together.And at this exact moment,all I could see my mother's frightened face in his blue eyes,trembling in fear as she watched everyone bearing gun shots,a whimper tugged at her lips,Alessandro in an attempt to secure his family's name,pointed a gun at her and bang....I found her dead."I asked you a simple question Alessandro,"I controlled my breathing,"Did you shot my mother during the attack?I want to listen to your side of the story."I mustered up all the courage I had in my body to cross my boundaries with a
[ Aitana ]I sat in the cafe,a ten yards away from the museum clutching the phone tightly in my fist.Alessandro dropped me off at my work place in exactly twenty minutes means I was still in the radar and he could catch me anytime if he found me meeting a man behind his back.I'll be doomed.And my family name will only be remembered in the history.My eyes constantly moving on the wristwatch, I had only thirty minutes to wrap up my meeting with Maxwell if he shows up on time otherwise I'd invite the hell inforno to burn me to ashes.Suddenly two hands wrapped themselves around my shoulders from the back sending icy chill run down my spine.Fuck!"Hello honeypie I thought you'll make me wait for you but Her Highness is on time,it's interesting and very new."Maxwell's voice reached in my ear."Max please sit."I reluctantly freed myself from his bear hug in a fear that there were greater possibilities of being tracked and watched by either Grayson or mostly by De Niro spies and if its tr
[ Aitana ]I knocked gently on the wooden door which separated me from Alessandro.I waited for him to give me the permit to pass his private terrotery that's his office cum a temporary place at the top storey of his famous night club in Los Angeles.The faint blaring of music and scent of tobacco twisted my guts but I kept it aside trying to focus on what I've brought myself to this place which I had visited quite a few times earlier unaware of the owner's real identity.This club serves the best alcohol in the city and an ambiance that makes you forget everything out the doors and live your life as long as you pay the hefty bills."Come in."Came his muffled voice from the inside and I pushed the door slightly enough to slide my lean body into the room.I heard the water running in the bathroom means he was taking a shower so I chose the moment to take in the interior of his small upto room which explains he spent quite a lot time here rather than barely used big mansion which must ha
[ Alessandro De Niro ]I stared in those two hazel labyrinth who were looking at me with a morphed emotion flickering in them. "I have no other women in my life except the one lying naked right next to me,who bears my last name and a heavy 2 million jewelry on her finger. I do not intend to bring another chaoes in my life by breaching the first condition in the treaty which avoided a big war coming in the way."I kept my statements lukewarm, this woman has a thorny edge in her vocabulary whenever she says something. They blinked at me twice or thrice."Then what those latex are doing in your drawer,I do not believe you run a brothel behind the closed doors."She stated the awaiting query which I had been waiting for her to spill.It didn't go unnoticed by me when her brows twitched when I pulled them on."Those condoms?"I always liked to be dramatic which adds more intensity in any situation,"They are everywhere back at the house,under the seat of my cars,in our bedroom,in the bathro
[ Aitana ]The club was pretty dead by the time,Alessandro sent me home with his driver and security guards.He stayed back with his best friend Chase so I didn't bother him to come along with me.Stripping from the brand new clothes which surprisingly were of my size,I cleansed my body from all the sweat and other scent from my body before jumping on my bed,it was past one by then but sleep was far away from my eyes.Alessandro knows about my motives sill he acted all cool and calm rather than emptying his bullets in me.What was going on with him?The man is a hard nut to crack but it also pushed me in a pool of guilty.I tried to lure him by my body which practically brand me as a first class slut.I'd never gain respect in his eyes.For him,I am a spoiled American Mafia daughter which eventually resurfaced my aching wounds.Dad intentionally took Mom's life just to have an upper hand over De Niros,the despicable man thought he would rule over the intentional mafias as Capo de capi,au
[ Aitana ]"We found the man who shot your mother."His words resonated in my ears. The enthusiasm was long gone,my heart again filled with the same agony,tears mocking at me as they pricked my eyes.He looked out of the glass window,"Our men traced him on the border of Slovania,he was a Russian sniper.""He was?"I sucked a deep breath knowing the meaning of past tense in mafia rule book."He's dead,our men killed him but we have important information regarding the attack which will help us to plan our next strategy.I wasn't indented to tell you about this seeing you are trying to get over that unfortunate incident."He sipped his coffee,looking absolutely unfazed after a cold blooded murder."So,you were mad on this matter since morning?"I tried to divert the subject of our conversation which would only lead me to another phase of nightmares and I didn't want to go through therapy sessions again."There's one more thing but I don't think you should know the specific reason."He said fla
[ Alessandro De Niro ]I fucking hated the pull I feel around her,I fucking hated to be close around her who tried to use her innocence to poise me slowly.She came into my life just to take it away on the manipulation of her father who is a sick bastard.I wanted to be mad on her.Inhaling a deep breath, I forced a reminder to myself that she was thrown into this as a scapegoat as much as I am.No hell ! I badly wished to chock her to death but I couldn't bring myself to harm a single hair on her body.She's like an innocent fawn to me who probably has old stains of blood on her hand but I don't care as I sail in the same water.Right now, I am watching her play with a wild goose nearby the small pond outside the wooden cabin which I bought in an auction and planned to turn into a woodside resort where people can enjoy themselves far away from the overpopulation of the city but the woods at my property are reserved area and I fucking need a permission from the government officals to s
[ Alessandro De Niro ]To say I was pissed, was an understatement. The Grayson dinner was nothing but an obligation for the sake of newly founded alliance between the two powerful families and being the only son in law of Liam Grayson, my presence was the most unavoidable.The second reason that made me lather in anger,was Aitana, she was forced into this sham by Liam like she is a toy that he could control with a remote.I've witnessed how strong she is,how perfectly she tried to cop up with her father's monsterity.I know from inside, she's breaking but the way she was carrying herself with confidence dripping from her personality as she sat elegantly beside me in my lamborghini.The small space between us couldn't contain the sexual contain radiating from our bodies, her black dress reaching just above her knees showing shaven legs and strapless neck made my blood boil inside by the only thought of men eye raping her.It was too much to bear even in the air conditioner turned on to
[ Aitana ]The warm sunrays falling over my face forced me to open my eyes but I closed them instantly as they hit their sensitivity after a couple of hours' sleep.After a few moments, I tried to open them again and glanced over the digital watch on the nightstand. It showed 7:15 A.M. It was a Sunday means I'd be spending the day with my family."Go back to sleep, mio regina. You haven't slept properly in last few days." My husband's sexy morning voice made me realise that I was caged in his arms while our naked bodies pasted together.I recalled the fierce sex we had for the most of the night after being away from each other for two crazy weeks. It was a pure hellish torture for Alessandro as we were worse than animals when it comes to sex even after eight years of our marriage."I wish I can but will your little demons let me sleep peacefully?" I turned to face him, whose enchanting dark blue eyes met mine."Hmm..they're our little demons but they can't be blamed when their parents
[ Alessandro De Niro ]He stepped closer," Hand me over the key and I'll declare you my only heir after I die which isn't going to happen anytime soon but you'd have a great future.A dry chuckle left my throat."You will declare me as your heir?" I laughed that echoed in the dark celler."Yes, I will. You have my word, Alessandro." Irritation was visible on his face."What am I looking to you? A fool or a believer in good deeds thats pays in blessings, Liam Grayson?" My hand reached for a wine bottle from the nearest shelf."You're a smart man who doesn't think from your dick like most of the Italian mafias." He tried to flatter me but I found no reason to consider his offer."Preserved since 1995, nice huh. I wonder how it will react on my taste buds." I opened the cork of the bottle and gulped a good amount from it."Put it back on the shelf, Alessandro. I didn't invite you here to enjoy free wine." Liam lost his temper as per my plan."I am not stopping you from sharing whatever y
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"Fuck!"I slammed the broken chair on the concrete ground with so much force that it cracked into pieces. I was boiling in anger and a shameful feeling of helplessness. The bastard again fooled us. He wanted to continue this cat and mouse chase like he was enjoying my state.My face was covered with sweat even in the freezing temperature. It was the place where we got the signal from Drake's GPS, he had it hidden in his ear stud. All we found were the evidence of someome being held captive here. It had been four hours since I last communicated with Drake, we searched the nearby closed places but we were no closer to finding them and now, it simmered my brewing anger."Aless, we should take a break and sketch a new plan rather than wandering aimlessly in the streets. May be, we'd find another lead." Chase offered, it was past nine and they were already on the brink of giving up."You can go back and rest." I gripped the butt of my gun with such pressure that my f
[ Alessandro De Niro ]The tension brewing in the air and ticking of clock was a constant reminder of my failure as a mafia man. Liam proved my incompetence and this time he made me realise how immature I was since the beginning, I had taken orders from my uncle and then Stefano, I hardly did something on my own."Aless, we traced the location by tracking Drake's GPS." Chase informed me.I gripped the railing of balcony. My mood was depicting the dark sky. Liam managed to abduct my best soldier while I went for a wild goose chase. He beat me at every instance."Where is the location?" I asked him without faltering my gaze from the sky, for some reason, I found a little comfort by staring at the vast blankness."Where a rat like Liam can hide?""A shabby place, a closed fight club or an abandoned work shop if I am right at assuming." I craned my neck in his direction."Bingo! You got it right. The bastard has taken shelter in a closed bicycle workshop three miles from here but we have
[ ALESSANDRO DE NIRO ]"I don't know what are you talking about, Aless." The woman pretended to sound confused but she failed at it miserably."Oh please, Aunt, drop this act and tell us where is the Golden Box or Anita has her own ways of gutting the truth out of you." Chase said."I am not your Aunt, young man." She shot him a murderous glare. She hated being addressed as Aunt or any tag that reflected her aging."Mrs. Laura, please hand us over the box or I am well capable of breaking your bones and no one would find out what exactly happens in this room." Anita rolled up her sleeves.I could notice my aunt's forehead covered with sweat. She was scared but she was trying to hide it."Aunt, we're not here for any kind of violence. Anita won't lay a finger on you unless she receives my green signal. So, please give us the golden box and we'd set you free with no scratch on your skin." I used indirect threat to crack the stubborn lady."Are you threatening me, Alessandro?" She arched
[ Alessandro De Niro ] "What is brewing between you and Alyssa?" I threw a teasing glance at Chase who had been smiling like a teenager since we bade our goodbyes to the girls at the De Niro air strip from where Marcus picked them to drop them off safely at my parents' house. It was quite hard for me to convince my lady tigress to tame her wild side until she deliver our baby. "Are you talking to me?" Chase, who was in his own world, asked me with red cheeks like I had caught him in the act. "As far as I remember, I and Drake are already engaged and married, so it leaves only you in the bachelor bucket. Tell us, Chase, what's going on with you and your damsel in distress?" I arched my brows at him for a good explanation. "It's nothing that's your dirty little brain is processing, Aless. She's a nice girl and your wife has given me her responsibility. I am only following her orders. Alyssa hardly comes in front of me. In fact, she rarely leaves the confinement of her room." He said.
[ AITANA ] "What do you mean, you tracked down the lady who claims to have the golden box?" I asked Alessandro or I say no particular men present in the living room. "We found her, Ana." Alessandro's voice was calmer than last few hours like a storm has passed and breezes stilled. "You mean you found the woman who has the Golden Box?" I asked him again not able to believe it at first. "Yes, Aitana. Somehow we succeeded in tracing the number from which Liam received a call in the night that Alyssa mentioned. She's currently staying in Rome. Guess what? Alyssa was right about her ethnicity. "Chase said. Excitement was dripping from his tone. The hunt for the mysterious woman and Liam Grayson was no less than finding need in a heap of hay. "And how did you get access to Liam's person cell phone?" I narrowed my eyes in curiosity. As far as I remember, he never let anyone touch his cell phone. "We found it near the shore, it might fall accidentally from pocket during the attack." Dr
[ Aitana ]Hours rolled on, I was as bore as I could be in the balcony of Chase, looking down at the busy street. It was refreshing to feel the late evening breeze while watching the sun set. The ocean's view from afar was a more pleasant experience. It was deadbeat silent in my small space but the inside was on turmoil.Alessandro was making several phone calls in the living room. His pacing became furious sometimes while he cursed in Italian. Chase and Drake's condition was no different than Alessandro. They had been trying to track down my father in the Peru, he was spotted there, probably dealing with local drug dealers. It was his mega plan to escape step by step to distract us but he was one of my least problems.His men were out in the search of Liam's network in the city who were still active and keeping a close eye on us.I groaned in frustration. I had been doing nothing but browsing through my social media accounts and watching online videos on pregnancy. They kept me out
[ Alessandro De Niro ]"You look feasible, husband." Aitana roamed her hands sensually over my tailored suit and reached for my tie knot. Her hazy eyes were proof of the lust which was pooling in them."Don't start this game right now, Ana. I beg you or else, we won't be leaving this house for the next few days." I warned her as her delibarate moves were testing my patience. It had been over one and a half month since we last had sex and now it was taking a toll over me."I am not interested to leave either, Alessandro." She traced my jawline with her sleek long finger. I closed my eyes and tightened my grip around her waist to control myself from ripping her clothes and fuck her on the wall."Please, Ana...we need to go as for now." I begged her again."I know you want it too, Aless and I need you right in this moment. I miss your touches, I miss to feel you inside me. It's fucking two months, Alessandro." Desperation dripped from her words while she grinded her core on my already ha
