All Chapters of Arranged To The Masked Mafia King : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 22ArielThe car rode slowly into the parking lot of the airport and I hissed for the umpteenth time, yawning in exhaustion while I trained my attention on some of the passengers who dragged their luggage into the airline's check-in counter and another set of passengers who sat patiently at the lounge.I didn't bother to check what the others were doing as I was already getting irritated by Dmitri's silence. It was raining rather heavily and I was supposed to be in the attic, enjoying how the rain pattered on the roof and the cool breeze that carried the scent of wet ground since I wasn't sure he'd allow me to play under the rain, but here I was, acting as his escort.Unable to tighten the lid on my curiosity, I asked him the question. "Why are we here again?" I made sure the annoyance in my tone was audible."Just be patient, you'll see,""I don't want to see anything. Why did you drag me out of the house without any explanation anyway? Agreed, I don't have much to do with m

Chapter 24ArielBeing with Guilia in the past twenty-four hours was like seeing a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. The depression that I heard in her voice when spoke to me on the phone the last time had disappeared and her eyes each time I gazed at them, sparkled with determination and resilience.I wished that she didn't have to see through what she was planning, but I'd seen how adamant she was about the matter and there was nothing I'd say that would change her mind.The only thing I owed her was my support and protection which I wouldn't fail to give.We were both dressed and ready to go out. I opted for a dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit while she wore a two-piece outfit; dragging the skirt to her waist so that her creamy thighs would be properly exposed.Tonight, we were to go to the club and in my mind was a roller-coaster of emotions. Though I was giddy with excitement, I couldn't help the fear reared its ugly head when I thought about the things we would have to do to make our

Chapter 26DmitriThe world had stopped moving around us and it was just her standing before me, no one else. Her eyes glimmered with tears and her lips quivered, but she managed to keep her emotions in check by not bursting into tears.Her lips stretched into a small smile and she waved at Margaret whom I intentionally avoided her gaze. I shouldn't have fallen for her charms, but after everything that I'd gone through yesterday I couldn't help it."I'm so sorry to barge into your lovemaking session. It was rude of me," She chuckled, but the nervousness in her voice was very audible and for some reason, I felt guilty. "I promise that no one will hear about this," She made a zip lock sign and turned around to leave.I tried to follow her but Margaret reached for my wrist and stopped me. I knew what would come next and I didn't like it, but I wasn't fast enough to stop her."Wait! Aren't you Ariel?" Margaret asked.Ariel's body went taut instantly and she spared her a backward glance. "

Chapter 28Dmitri"Liora, what are you doing?" I rasped but she wouldn't even look at me, instead, she kept poking at Ariel's thigh until she had no choice but to lift her.I advanced toward them but halted when I saw how watery Ariel's eyes were. She looked very happy and pleased to hold my daughter in her arms like that, and that stopped me from doing what I'd intended. So I resigned to watching both of them keenly, wondering how Liora got so comfortable with Ariel that she had to ignore me. Though she wasn't so used to seeing me with my mask, she should have at least regarded me for a moment. My heart was shattered at her slight betrayal, but seeing her relaxed and calm gave me so much peace. I felt a squeeze on my arm and Vladimir silently nudged me to come along with him. My feet were still glued to the ground as I didn't want to leave her with Ariel whom I didn't fully trust. "Come on, bro. You and I know that Ariel can be everything else but a murderer," He muttered under h

Chapter 30ArielThe hall in which the party was held was brightly lit with chandeliers and incandescent bulbs producing enough illumination. The platform was intricately designed with dark linens forming drapes over the floral patterned gold-colored wallpaper. Each table had a bouquet that matched the decoration of the hall and I couldn't be more pleased.Tonight, it was just Dmitri and I. Fedor should have been around, lurking in the background, but Liora refused to stay back at Seattle the moment she knew that we weren't going to be around for the night so he had to stay back at the hotel and watch over her.It felt weird being alone with him, especially after the confrontation earlier this morning, but I was determined to enjoy the party even if it involved grating on his nerves."Do you want to drink anything?" He asked and I observed that it was a buffet party, though I could see some waiters walking around with trays holding drinks in their hands."No, I don't. Why do you care
