As I stood beside Kyle, my heartbeat was thumping frantically in my chest. I am anxious and excited, and I can tell that every person in the hall is feeling the same way as I am. This is where it all ends now. This is the culmination of everything that we've worked so hard to achieve. Today is a very special day for me and Ari, and everyone present here today is going to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. And I've honestly been eagerly awaiting this moment as well for a very long time now. But, in addition to that, I am currently experiencing a wide range of emotions. And for the very first time in my life, I can feel my hands and legs trembling at the same time at just the thought of Ariella Gregory. A distinct kind of nervousness is what I am starting to experience because, even though I'm anxious as I stand here with my best man, my excitement for what today will bring outweighs my nervousness by a long shot. Today is my most anticipated day. I'm going to get married tod
The wedding ceremony is happening in a blur for both of them. They are just too focused on each other all the time, as they are both holding each other's hands. The couple is so overjoyed about everything that is happening that they were smiling all throughout. And why wouldn't they? They are getting married! "Now that you can, Elliot, you may now recite your vows." The priest directed him. Elliot wasn't accustomed to these situations, of course. He's never been kind to express how he really feels, especially about love topics, and most of all not in front of other people. Kyle and Brit are the only people who could possibly know everything about what his heart desires. Nevertheless, today, he is willing to voice his opinion openly about Ariella and take away all his inhibitions because he wants Ari to understand how important she is to him. Before actually beginning to say his vows, he even took a deep breath to compose himself. "Hey, you know how hard this is for me, Ari, sweetie.
Two men could be seen discreetly bickering over something in the stillness of the night. And although what was happening was visible to the rest of the men on the ground with them, they all chose not to interfere at this moment. They know better than to meddle with something that is not their concern. No one can genuinely understand what the verbal hubbub that is occurring between the two is all about as well. But whatever it is, it begins to appear to be about something big and important for the two to face off on the grounds just like that. The two men exchanged dirty, mean looks as they awaited each other's next move. And it also seemed as if they were about to each draw their firearms and end this ordeal between them, but both of them subsequently changed their minds and thought better of their situation. It really shouldn't reach such an extent once more. They now behave more calmly and rationally with each other than they used to in the past as a result of the changes in their
Finally, the story has come to an end. Apologies, as it took longer than I had expected because of a lot of circumstances and my busy schedule.

"Hey you, what's your name?" I looked up to see a young boy approaching me. He is a bit taller than me, with wavy brown hair and a deep set of blue eyes with an icy cold stare. “Ari,” I softly said. He moved a little bit closer to me, which forced me to take a step back. He squinted his blue eyes at me, then reached out his hand for me. "I'm Elliot. I live across from your house. Why are you alone?” He questioned me. "I-I'm not alone. My parents and my brother are inside. We just moved here.” I stuttered. He is intimidating me. He is looking at me with his deep set of blue eyes and I am becoming a bit scared of the way he talks to me. "How old are you?” “I am seven.” "Okay, from now on, I'll be your best friend. You'll stay beside me all the time. And I will always have your back. Clear?” How can this tiny boy be so intimidating? He is scaring the hell out of me, but a part of me feels that I can trust him. “Be-best friend?” I questioned him once again. He raised his eyebrows
"Elliot, the deliveries of the guns have been completed. While another round is being requested by the Russians." I looked up from all the paperwork to see Kyle enter my office without even a knock to announce his presence. He went straight on giving the status reports of our organization's transactions. "Good. I want everything to go as smoothly as possible. How about the brothel? Are the girls still being bothered by the Lucios?" I asked. He shakes his head, then gives me a smirk. "Do you think they would still bother to visit the brothels after what you've done to their men? You almost killed his son." "It's a payment they have to make after what they did to those girls. He's lucky that I spared the life of his son." "Everything's good with the underground, El! We can focus on the legal businesses now." Yes, this is my life right now. Elliot Allister is now the fucking mafia king. I rule the underground, and everyone is afraid of going against me. This is not the life that I wa
"Oh my goodness, El. I can't believe this. I really can't believe this. I can't believe that we're going to be working together. I mean, that I'll be working for you." Ari has been very chirpy since earlier today. We haven't even had the time to discuss the project because she kept on gushing and bringing back the topic of how she missed me. I can't help but feel ecstatic as well. After ten long years of waiting, after ten fucking years of hoping to see her again, it appears that fate had suddenly shone on me. "Ms. Gregory, can we discuss the project first? We actually lost a lot of time considering that you came in late for the meeting. Mr. Allister's time is precious and he really hates waiting, you know." Upon hearing what Kyle had to say, Ari's cheeks immediately tinged pink. And she pouted. She's so fucking cute doing that. What the hell, Elliot? Cute? Really, for a mafia lord, you know the word "cute"! "I am really sorry, El! I got held up in my earlier meeting. Please forgiv
I am fuming with rage. I was beyond furious at the reality of what I had just learned. Ever since I came to know that Ari has a boyfriend, I can't stop thinking of different ways to hurt or even kill that bastard, whoever he is. Kyle is of no use either. He has been continuously pissing me off ever since that day. Muttering that it is a good thing that Ari already has a boyfriend. If only he wasn't my right-hand man, I would've gladly pulled the damn trigger on his head for even thinking that it's okay for Ariella to be in a relationship now. A knock on my office door brought me back to my senses. I took a glance at whoever was at the door and was surprised to see the smirking Kyle once again. "What do you need?" I immediately asked, annoyance lacing my voice. "Oh, woke up on the wrong side of the bed again, I see." He said, but the tone was still mocking. I immediately scoffed. "It's a miracle that you knew how to knock this time around." "Well, I don't want to wake up the lion i
