"Ariel. So," D'Leonardo cut the steak on his plate with precised measurement and concentration, you could tell he tortured people in this manner. His eyes moved up to me, "now that you are married to Delano, you can tell us why you tried to kill him at the party, can't you?"

Everyone stared at me. His cousins and their parents, Colt and my father, even Delano. He has an expectant look on his face, like he wanted to see what I would use to cover up–but I wasn't stupid. Anyone could tell that D'Leonardo already knows the truth.

"He did business on my father's port, which is totally unacceptable," I said fiercely and I could see one of his cousins raised his eyes up, a smirk on his lips. I didn't care much about him. He seemed too stupid for me to bother. My age, maybe.

"Is?" D'Leonardo arched a brow, "Do you mean it's still inappropriate for him to do business there? I mean, you are married."

I smiled skillfully, "Business should be separated from family. If Delano wish

  • EMPIRE OF LIES    Family

    ARIELI smiled with no lesser pretension than what D'Caprico threw to me. My smile was graceful and perfect like what I have been trained to be. However, I knew I could never fit into the perfect mafia family. Girls were meant to be docile, quiet, obedient, I was not that type. I was not trained for marriage, I was trained for war. And they would never understand that. Glad, my father hadn't forced me to submission like other empires did, but even that was my choice."How are you doing?" "I'm fine," I replied sweetly, placing my hand on Delano's with nothing less than a sinful smile, "Delano has been treating me fairly okay. Just a day after marriage and I feel good."Delano let out a slight scoff of amusement and my fingers tightened on his shoulders in a warning mark.He'd better stop that sh*t right now."That's good, considering the fact that you wanted to kill him, just a week ago. I can say you guys really changed sides pretty fast. How does your fa

  • EMPIRE OF LIES    Beauty

    DELANOShe took her time coming down the stairs.Measured steps. Perfect posture. Eyes straight ahead, on me. Like she wanted me to see her, but not enough to beg for it. A performance, tailored and precise. And I had to admit, she played the part well.The dress was deep emerald green, the kind of shade that caught the light like water on dark glass. Expensive fabric. Cut high on the neck, low on the back, hugging her waist like it had been tailored by a man who wanted to die for her. Classy. Strategic. Not made to seduce, but to be remembered. And it worked.It clung to her curves in all the right ways, but left just enough to the imagination. She wore power like perfume, soft, but laced with poison. Her hair was swept up, just a few strands left loose to soften her jawline. A calculated mess. I recognized the move. Hide the blade in beauty.I didn’t move. Just watched.She was beautiful, yes. But beauty didn’t mean much in our world. I’d seen diamond

  • EMPIRE OF LIES    Unbridled hate

    ARIELI let out all my frustration into the punching bag in front of me, hitting it hardly with all the strength I could summon.*I don't care what deal you have with Saint, but you would never be able kill me. Not now, definitely not later.*Was that a challenge? Not being able to kill him? I was going crazy in the head trying to show him that I could actually do that. Too bad he wouldn't be able to remember who killed him after his death, but I'd make sure he captured my face when I'm stabbing him with the knife.I hissed as I gave the punching bag a last blow and it shook under the impact. I held it to keep it steady and after it stopped moving widely, I stepped backwards.Idiot! Delano was an idiot! I released a deep breath as I removed the boxing pads and pulled my hair out of the high ponytail. Streaks of sweats went down my face and I wished that was my frustration leaking out from my skin pores. Reaching for the bottle of water on the beach,

    DELANO She sat across me in the white light, swirling her wine. I stirred the white liquid in my cup, without drinking."You look at me like you are waiting for something," I said without looking at her. "Maybe I am." She smiled, slow and venomous.I took a sip. Swallowed. Met her eyes."Cheap poison. Tastes like almonds."I watched the way her eyes widened and the cup in her hand shook faintly, in a way that if my eyes weren't on her, I wouldn't notice."You knew?"I leaned forward, voice low enough to send a warning. "I know everything, Ariel. Including how badly you want me dead."She dropped the cup of wine on the table between us and rose sharply, but I caught her wrist. "Next time, darling, make it count.""Thanks for the advice," She smiled at me and pulled her hand away from my grip, walking up the stairs. The moment her presence disappeared, I dropped the cup on the table sharply, releasing a breath. I had taken just a sip but my stomach f

    ARIELPersonally, I hated this part in weddings. Kiss the bride. Was it necessary?"Don't you dare...kiss me." I said when Delano covered the space between us. The annoying smirk remained on his face as he grabbed me closer by my waist. I felt his hand tightened around my waist and I blinked slightly, feeling my heart race the way, it shouldn't. It should be medically crazy for your heart to race as fast as this when you are in front of the one man you vowed to kill."Stop me." He dared. I bit my inner lips when he bent his head and brushed his lips against my ear, "This would not be our last kiss." My resolve not to kiss him died down instantly as he covered my lips with his, prying his tongue into my lips. It was meant to be dead, without affection, but it went deeper than that, in front of the crowd. When they clapped, I got my senses back and pressed my hands against his chest, pushing him backwards instantly. He smiled, his eyes glinting with am
