Aria smiled as she entered her grandmother's room. She looked neat and a nurse was painstakingly combing her hair."Are you going anywhere?" Aria asked as she walked over to her and sat down on the bed.Grandma looked at her with wide eyes and she seemed relieved. She stretched out her hand to Aria and Aria took it, hugging her tightly."I'm glad you're okay." She patted Aria's back gently."Of course I'm fine. What does Grandma think of me?" She wiggled her eyebrows at her."Bad girl! Look what happened to your head! You always get hurt when dealing with them." Grandma wiped her tears. Aria fell silent and pursed her lips.The nurse who was still there with them had finished her duties and excused herself from the room.Aria nodded and smiled at her kindly. "Thank you, nurse."When the door was closed, Aria and Grandma started talking again."Yesterday, when I looked for you, they told me what happened." Grandma looked very worried, Aria took her hand and patted it gently."See? You
A loud laugh came from Alexander's office.And of course, it was Kiel's laughing voice. Meanwhile, Alex was still checking some documents on his desk, Kiel was laughing his ass off looking at his laptop screen."I can't believe they tried to pay our men to stop Jasmine's video." Kiel wiped his tears, he thought this was very funny."Does Giovanni still not know that we were the ones who spread the video?" He asked more to himself."Did he call? No? Then No." Alex said indifferently."He didn't know and didn't suspect something like this? I wonder why he could become mayor." Kiel chuckled in surprise then laughed."He's stupid," Alex commented again."Who's stupid?"Both of them turned to see Aria who was already in front of the door which had been slightly open from the start. She appeared to be holding two bowls in her hands.Kiel scratched his head which didn't itch, "No, we just....""Your father." Alex didn't mince his words and Kiel choked. He stared wide-eyed at Alex whose mouth
Jasmine stared at her laptop screen with puffy eyes, and black eye bags that looked like had other eye bags under them. Her long, shoulder-length hair was messy, it had been a long time since she had combed it.She looked messed up.She was looking at the comments of people on the internet who responded to news about the video. Evil comments, mocking and demeaning her, were everywhere. She has closed her social media accounts, but other accounts using her name to mock her were popping up everywhere.Some of the accounts were even made like @jasminewhoreofthetown. She even saw other accounts called @jasminepornstar and @restojasmineslut. All that and much more.Her tears flowed every time she read the malicious comments there, even degrading her. The people who once worshiped her now turned against her."I’ve told you to stop reading those…."Susan stood in the doorway of her daughter's bedroom. She sighed worriedly seeing Jasmine's progress which was getting worse day by day. Her body
Aria watched Alex's father timidly. The man had sworn for the umpteenth time when he entered this Mansion. He also glanced at her impolitely, even slapping the butts of some maids who passed by him.This man was very impolite. Aria even doubted Alex was his son, considering their very different behavior."I am here for my stuff." He said for the umpteenth time. They were already sitting in the living room on the first floor, with Aria and Alex sitting side by side, far from his father who was sitting across from them."Your things are no longer here. If they were, I would have ordered my men to burn them."Hans, as soon as he introduced himself to Aria, chuckled in annoyance while scratching the back of his neck."You know what I mean, insolent child." He muttered and for a moment he glanced at Aria. He scoffed while speaking to her, "Did you know? I lived here peacefully and he came to take my throne, even kicked me out after marrying you."Aria widened her eyes when she heard that."
That same day, Susan went to Alexander Grissham's address. Finding it was not difficult. But getting there was not an easy matter.She drove her car towards the hill where the Grissham Mansion was located, her heart beating fast every time she saw some men dressed all in black and clothes covering their faces, fully armed. This area of hills and forests felt like a huge prison that was tightly guarded and dangerous.When she arrived at the end of the road, she saw the top of a very large white building, surrounded by a very high wall fence and barbed wire on top. In front of it, there was a magnificent gate which was also guarded by fully armed two guards.She drove slowly with shaking hands and one of the guards raised his hand to stop her. He walked towards her car and knocked on the window, telling her to roll down the glass.Susan prayed that she was right that Aria lived here. It's impossible for Aria to live somewhere else, right? The mafia boss seemed to like her, of course, th
Finally...After a long wait, the gate opened. Behind it was a paved road fenced by bamboo trees on each side of the road. It looked like a very spacious forest and garden, making Susan even more curious about what was inside.Susan looked at the guard who had blocked her entry and lifted her lips in a smile at him with a haughty look.“This way, ma'am.” A maid who looked like she was in her thirties picked her up to enter the gate.Her forehead furrowed for a moment, "I can go in by car." She said while pointing to the car behind her.The maid, who was wearing a black and white uniform, shook her head. “Sorry Ma'am, but the rules of the Grissham Mansion prohibit guest cars from entering. You have to walk to get in.” She said politely, but Susan heard a clearly harsh tone from her.These people! Don't they know how I am?! These bastards! Susan cursed them in her head.But she was someone who was used to putting a mask on her face, she was the master of pretending. This method was so
Susan was shaking from cold and exhaustion. She stood in front of the Grissham mansion. Hours had passed since she was held standing in front of this fountain under the storm, with weapons pointed at her by Alex's men around.Her eyes were red, her hands and lips were pale, her body shaking like a leaf blow by the wind. The storm had passed and it was already dark. Her soak clothes and wet hair made it even worse.Susan cursed for the umpteenth time because she didn’t bering her cellphone with her. She was too excited that the gate to this devil mansion finally opened and left it in her car. It was so reckless and she didn’t denied how stupid she was right now. Both because of that damn cellphone, or because of her brain that telling her coming here would fix everything and safe Jasmine’s face. But when she looked around, she doubted that a mayor like Giovanni could defeat the power of a legendary Mafia boss like Alex Grissham. It seems like they made a big mistake when they asked
“You promise...”Aria, with her cheeks flushed and breathing heavily, tried to hold back Alex's hands which were now all over her body. Her dress was already unbuttoned, revealing her bra and his big, warm hands had now slipped under it, squeezing her soft boobs. Alex's minty breath blew into her ear and his soft lips brushed against the line of her neck and behind her ear, making her feel like there was an electric current zapping to her core. Aria pressed her legs together as Alex twisted her nipples."Nghh.. But..." Aria couldn't hold back her moan. She looked around and started to worry if anyone had seen them.“Alex… Let's get to our room…” She finally managed to say it. Her cheeks were flushed red, right down to her earlobes. She couldn't resist a man who was willing to do anything to protect her, anything she wanted…. It is so weird that someone who didn’t like violence and commotion like her didn’t even disturb her when her husband said something about burning the world just f
