"Mother." Aaron whispered when Olivia opened her eyes and blinked slowly a few times as her eyes focused on Aaron. She forced herself to speak through the oxygen mask. "Don't stress yourself. You need rest."Aaron said, trying to calm her. "I…cou…" Olivia couldn't speak anymore and once again drowned into the arms of unconsciousness.It has been like this for the past three days. Yes, three days passed that horrible day. His father was stable but unconscious, his mother in and out of consciousness, His Grandfather was in a coma and His wife was still missing with her family. His soldiers as per his orders had taken the war to another level. He was facing issues with the media being involved. But the officers on his payroll were doing a good job to hide away the important facts from the public's eyes. The Irish were feeling huge losses in their businesses. And Aaron was after his legal business too. Killian Mcmanus had made the grave mistake by touching Aaron's family and now Aar
Aaron tilted his head and smiled when He watched the trio. "I hope my men treated you well, De Luca." A leather chair was set in front of De Luca and his brother and Aaron sat on the chair like a king sitting on his throne. He stretched his hand for the gun. Massimo put it in his hand. De Luca's eyes widened as he wiggled in his chair trying to get free, so did his brother. "A dog should remember his status before fighting a battle with a Lion. You had a great opportunity to work with Cosa Nostra but your greed was not satisfied. You wanted more and for that you gave your whore of a daughter to Killian Mcmanus. My enemy."Aaron gestured at Massimo to remove De Luca's gag while he pointed a gun to his brother's head who shook his head and tried to get free of the rope. The screeching sound of the chair on the floor irritated Aaron. "Silence!" He snarled at him. "Aaron…" De Luca started but shook his head when Aaron fixed him with an overpowering look. "Velenoso…" De Luca whispered
Two Years Later, Vicenza, Milan.Bella wiped her tears and placed the orchids on the grave of her grandmother. "I miss you, Nonna." She whispered with a heavy throat. "It's been two years since you left us alone in this world. And we miss you every single day. I wish you had not left me like this, Nonna. It was so lonely and hard for us. I love you. We all do…" She caressed her grandmother's name on the stone plate before wiping her tears and standing up. "I have to go now, Nonna but I will come back soon to meet you again." She gave one last glance to her grandmother's grave before leaving for work. A Lot had changed in the two years since she left New York City and came here to Italy to start a new life after the attack and it was for the best. She was happy and stress-free here. The only thing she felt sore about was her grandmother's death. When Bella told her the truth about Aaron she took it bravely, at least she pretended to take it like that.But Her health started deterio
"We have not seen Mrs Knight in the past Two years. There are speculations that you two are having issues in your married life…"Aaron clenched his jaw and gave Marcus a side glance who turned pale at the question. Marcus immediately stepped forward and stopped the journalist to ask that question. "Please stop the camera. We had a deal and if you prefer to break it, then we have to stop it right here."The journalist gave Marcus a nod before setting her eyes on Aaron. She looked like a curious cat who wanted to milk the situation as much as possible. "We can make this interview a little more interesting if you answer a few pre-decided questions, it would…"Aaron maintained a cold face but He was burning in rage inside. "No Mrs John," He stood up from his chair, "I have a limited amount of time for this interview. Hence for this pre decided question. But you didn't respect my time, you may leave Mrs John. I am cancelling this interview."Mrs John smiled nervously. Her boss wouldn't li
When Aaron went to his soldier's home he was applying ointment to his son's swollen cheek and got scared seeing Aaron there. He thought Aaron was there to kill him and his family so he shielded his children and stood in front of them. "Boss…" he whispered in fear but was stunned seeing a bloodied Asher with him. "Bring your son here, Rodger." Aaron ordered him as he almost threw Asher on the floor. His brother fell on his knees, crawling in pain. Damien and Sara peeked at Aaron from behind his father. Both were scared of Asher but when they noticed the blood on Asher's face they got scared. "What is your son's name, Rodger?" Rodger swallowed nervously. "Damien, Boss.""Damien, come here." Aaron called him with a straight face, strict tone and cold eyes. Scared, Rodger sent his son forward but he was just behind him, in case Aaron or Asher tried to hurt him. Aaron liked the courage Rodger was showing for his son. He looked at Damien and eyed his swollen cheek. "Damien, you will b
Asher groaned when he woke up from his slumber. He looked around and noticed that he was not in his room. He was in his brother's guestroom. Every part of his body was aching badly. He touched his head and winced as he felt the bandage on his forehead. His face blanched as memories of yesterday flashed in his mind one after another. His brother raised his hand on him for the first time in his life and he couldn't believe it. He heaved out of bed to go to his home. He was crossing the living room when his brother's crisp voice stopped him from moving forward. "So now you won't wish me a good morning, Ash?"Asher fisted his hand in anger but winced again as pain shot through his nerves. He turned and looked at his brother who was standing near the huge window with a coffee mug in his hand. His eyes fixed on Asher as He took a sip from the cup."Do you deserve one, Eldy?" He asked, "After how you treated me yesterday or I say treating me from the past two years. You are not allowing m
"Are you sure Asher will be able to get the deal?" Olivia asked, sitting beside her husband. Ethan smiled which she returned happily. That was the only positive thing that happened after the attack. His parents started talking like adults rather than fighting all the time. "Yes. I told him this is the last chance he will get from me. I hope he can remain true to his words and not touch drugs.""Asher needs to learn to be responsible. There is no better time than this," Ethan whispered. "I want him to take his Omerta on his birthday this year.""He will take his Omerta but not as a soldier. As my second-in-command," Aaron stated and both his parents looked at him with a frown. "Aaron, It will be like a slap on Riccardo's face. He supported you two years ago. You were on the weakest moment of your life, with being attacked from everywhere but he stood behind you like a wall and now snatching Flavio's position. He wouldn't like it."Aaron smirked. "I need fresh blood in Cosa Nostra, fat
Kris looked at her flabbergasted, Stunned by the directness. "What? I don't have any romantic feelings for you. What are you talking about? Are you high on something?" Sabrina paled. She blinked at him with stupidity. She never thought this could be this embarrassing. "You don't like me?""I do but as a friend. When did I say that I have romantic feelings for you?" Sabrina wanted to lash at Bella for filling her mind with this thought. "I am so sorry Kri. I thought…well I shouldn't have thought about anything. Leave it. I am so sorry for whatever I said. Please forgive me."Kris gave her a weird look. "You want an apology? Fine, what can you do about it?""Anything. Just tell me what you want?"Kris grinned and for a moment Asher's image flashed in her vision. She jerked it away in anger and focused on her friend. "I want a pizza treat in your sister's pizza joint.""Fine, we can go there after the meeting. Happy?" She said with a smile. Kris gave her a side hug and sighed in relief
