[ 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 ]"So you're saying that your husband is ready to give 1% of his revenue share for initial 6 six months if I help him to get the permission from the ministry?"Mr. Hall,the old man raised his wrinkled eyes like an aged fox."I guess we are offering you a very fair deal Mr. Hall, Alessandro is running the third biggest club franchise in the state and we are actually looking forward to expand ourselves. We need your help Mr. Hall and I think it's quite profitable for you than whatever amount the others are ready to pay you."I played my next card as the man was desperate to accept my offer but he couldn't admit it on my face."But the offer doesn't seem equal to the favour I'll give you Miss Aitana,it's not easy to convince the minister.He'll ask for a lion's share in my profit.I have to butter many arses."He said and I mentally pictured his dead corpse lying in the same woods and hungry vultures plucking on his intestines.I took a sharp intake of breath and regained my thin pat
[ Aitana ]My body still felt the tremors on my exposed skin whenver the cold midnight breeze touched me.The face of my tormentor danced in front of my eyes,I could still feel his breathing on my neck, it felt all so depressing.I and Alessandro didn't talk since we came back from my father's house.I thought it was better to leave him alone for some time as he looked steaming in anger,the way his veins were popping up on his neck with each breath he took.His knuckles turned white by the force he held the steering wheel.He excused himself in his study room as soon as he parked the car in the garage.I too needed a moment alone to gather myself. It was a traumatic experience for me and I never wished to face it again in my life again.Men respected me when I used to be a princess but now, I am just a mere pawn in a sick power game.I clutched the shawl more tightly around me and let the signs of weakness, tears fall freely from my eyes.I felt lost and defeated.I couldn't protect myself.
[ Alessandro De Niro ]I chugged a century old antique glass vase as it was the first thing that came I my hand. The scene when that motherfucker Dimtri was all over Aitana.He dared to touch my woman,he tried to force himself on her.Challenging a De Niro always comes with it's price and this time he crossed the line by casting his evil eye on a De Niro woman and he had to pay with his life."Come devo affrontare questo senza dire Stefano?"I muttered to myself and ran a hand through my hairs.(How am I going to deal with this without telling Stefano?)A war is inevitable now means I can't run from it any longer.Sooner or later I must tell this to my family who are more prone to danger.Contemplating for a minute to calm down my mind,I pressed the dial option on Adam's number."Aless this isn't a time to call a family man who works his ass off for six days and hardly gets a moment for his wife and kids."Adam groaned in his sleepy voice."It's urgent, Adam."I said under my breath so Ai
[ Aitana ]When I woke up in the next morning, Alessandro's heavy arms were wrapped protectively around me and I was all over him.A smile stretched on my lips as I felt warmth creeping its way in my body.I got used to his shadow in no less than a week of our marriage.I wanted the time to stop in the moment so I could had a closer observation of the man who went to the extent of killing his arch enemy to avenge my assault. None had done such thing for me.My hand itched to touch his perfectly sculptured facial features which remained me of those magnificent Greek Gods' statues but my bladder was pleading me to use bathroom so I silently moved out of his embrace and went inside the bathroom to get ready for work.After taking a long relaxing shower,I changed into a new pair of clothes and did my make up,I took extra care to get ready. Last night was terrorising but the morning was contrastly amazing. I felt recharged with a new energy more than I usually do and I know it's because of A
[ Alessandro De Niro ]She sucked in a deep breath,"He is going to come after you,isn't he?""Perhaps, yes."I couldn't keep her in dark when had sailed in the same water as any of us,"But you don't have to worry about any of it.He can't reach a kilometer around you, Ana.I promise to protect you with all our resources."She was unusually quiet since Chase told us that it was her father who planted the seed of a never ending war series among the mafia houses,probably blaming herself for being the reason of this unavoidable emergency but she must not send her mind to wrong directions when she didn't had a damm idea about our decades old rivalry over a trade route,which in the mafias ,known as gold route.It can turn a man from rags to riches,the safest way to flourish the illegal trade of drugs without any complications and for three decades Russians have control over it."Tell me that we are going to survive please Aless.You can not lure me like I am a five year old child because I am
[ 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
