"They live here?" Aaron asked his brother while looking at the small villa-type house in front of him. A shiver ran down Aaron's body thinking about his daughter but more than that, thinking about meeting the woman who couldn't stand his darkness. The woman whose mere name gave him a wound so deep that his enemies couldn't give. "Yeah," Asher replied while staring at the house with the same intensity as his brother was staring at. "Let's go, Eldy. I can't wait to go in there anymore and see Sabrina. I stopped myself because of Aria. I didn't want them to try to run away again."Aaron looked at his brother in slight shock. His brother turned mad for Sabrina in the last two years. He had not left anything from drugs to liquor, fights and everything to infuriate Aaron so that he would give up on his stance on finding Bella and her family. And today when he was just a few steps away from meeting and seeing her, his brother stopped just because of Aria. This was not like Asher. This was
"Don't you dare to take a step further, Asher!" Bella yelled and pushed Aaron with all her strength. But no effect, He restrained her movements. "Leave me!" Tears rolled down her eyes as she felt helpless in front of his masculine strength. Anxiety ran through her body when Asher moved a step. As if Her daughter sensed her distress she started crying. "Mama…" her little hands stretched towards Bella. Asher snapped his fingers in front of her crying niece as he bounced her on his arm to calm her down and cooed at her. Her sobs calmed a little, Aria looked at Asher and then at her mother. Tears rolling down her cheek,"Mama!" She was getting scared with Asher but he turned around so that she wouldn't witness her parents fighting in front of her. A child shouldn't see it. "Leave Ash.""Asher don't! Aria!!" Bella screamed, bewildered, trying to free her hands out of Aaron's grip but failed. "She needs me! Don't be cruel, Aaron. She will be scared."Aaron left her hands abruptly making B
"You are nothing but a heartless swine. You cruel bastard, how could you make your own daughter go through this pain!" Sabrina yelled at Aaron who was trying to console a crying Aria in his arms. It had been three hours since they had been in his private jet. The nanny tried to calm her but failed and that angered Aaron. He scolded her harshly and grabbed his daughter from her arms, since then the nanny was with the flight attendant and He was trying to console Aria. "Calm down princess. Your Daddy is here for you," Aaron bounced Aria in his lap to calm her but she kept crying and with every wail that left her mouth, Aaron's heart pierced with her tears. "Give me my niece. You murderer, You criminal. Your bloody hands don't deserve to hold her.'He ignored Sabrina's angry fits and focused on calming his daughter. Aria’s condition reminded him about her mother Bella who used to be a cry baby who never stopped easily once she started crying. Even now He recalled her crying face when
"Aaron, don't do this. Aria doesn't like her nanny. Let me take care of her," Sabrina begged as Asher kept pulling her out of the elevator towards his condominium but Aaron ignored her and kept his eyes fixed on his daughter. "You are nothing but a monster, Aaron knight…" Sabrina's words died as the elevator door closed. He looked at the nanny who looked scared to death in Aaron's presence alone. He kept quiet, his focus was on his daughter only. As the door of the elevator opened, He glared at her, "Give her to me and leave. Your payment will be sent to your account," He said and took his daughter from her as He walked out of the elevator with sleeping Aria in his arms. He held her against his chest and opened the door carefully. "Welcome to your home Princess. We will live here together from today," had whispered and took her to his room where a small crib was already placed. He laid her down on it and smiled seeing her beautiful soft features. "You are so beautiful, my princess.
FLASHBACKS- "Stop crying Bella and tell me what happened?" Olivia was having coffee with Ethan and her father when her cell phone went off and a number she didn't expect flashed on her home screen. Putting the coffee cup on the table, she stood up to take the call. "Who is calling, Olivia?" Ethan asked her. "A friend of mine, Excuse me," she said and moved to other side of the garden to answer the call. Her heart suddenly started racing, she knew something was wrong. Something in her warned her that something bad happened because Bella wouldn't have called her otherwise. They don't talk on calls but messages and that too discreetly.Her assumption proved right the moment she accepted the call and put it on her ear. Bella's sobbing voice greeted her ear. "He took her away, Olivia. He came here and once again left me devastated!” She screeched anxiously. "What are you saying? What happened Bella? Is Aria fine? Tell me clearly." Olivia demanded sharply as her heart stopped beating th
Aaron stared at his daughter who had stopped crying and now she was happily playing on his bed with stuffed toys around her. He had placed Bella's pictures all over his room, on the walls and nightstand so that she wouldn't feel uneasy about being with an unfamiliar man. It doesn't matter that that unfamiliar man was none other than her father."Mama. Hungy..." Aria babbled looking at Bella's picture and pouting. Aaron smiled, He could see how close Aria was to Bella. "Are you hungry, princess?" He asked, caressing her hair. Aria looked up at him through her long lashes and nodded. Aaron smiled, this was the first time she talked with him. Every time she looked at him with her innocent eyes, it reminded him of Maria, the same gaze and smile. His possessiveness regarding Aria and her safety was getting high day by day. “Daddy will make something for you, okay!” He whispered before kissing her cheeks. Aria grinned and He sighed in satisfaction as if this was his biggest achievement i
Aaron’s jaw ticked in anger as He glared at his mother who once again came to his house when He warned her not to as He wanted space from his family too. But Olivia didn't come alone. Ethan and Giovanni came along with her. His anger calmed a little when He saw Aria's excitement upon seeing Olivia again and cried to go to her arms. Aaron allowed her to take his daughter because He couldn't watch her cry. Ethan's eyes welled with tears when he watched Aria in Olivia's arms. For a moment, he went back into the time when Maria was born. She used to hold Maria like this too. He could see the same happiness on Olivia's face as in Maria’s time. Ethan moved to them to introduce himself to his little granddaughter. "Nonna. Nonna." Aria giggled in Olivia's arms as she was happily enjoying all the attention she was getting from everyone. Giovanni came to Aaron, "Congratulations on your daughter, Aaron." He said, patting Aaron's back, "I hope you and Bella clear your differences and give me m
"You shouldn't have attacked him like this Aaron. If you want to kill him, do it but discreetly," Ethan said while pacing around Aaron's office. Giovanni left with Riccardo and his family a few hours ago and since then Ethan was waiting for Aaron to calm down so that he could ask what all that was about. "I should have ended him a long time back but Nonno's love and your authority on rank stopped me. And then it was Asher's childish nature. But that's enough now, it's time to finish Flavio for once and all."Ethan stopped and glanced at his son. "Aaron, this soon?" He gave Ethan a stiff nod. "Yes. This soon. Outing Riccardo was the final step in removing Flavio from his title. And now it's time to end Flavio's chapter from Cosa Nostra.""Do you have any names set in mind for your consigliere? You couldn't afford to leave the place vacant.""It's time Asher takes over his chair officially. You will be helping him run his duties from behind the curtain but I had enough with Flavio, Fa
