Semua Bab My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss: Bab 141 - Bab 150

"Are you certain that you have no concerns about her being here with her new lover boy? Elliot, it would seem to me that you are battling with yourself again, based on what I can see right now from your actions." And Kyle is reading me like an open book again, which I detest the most. Because of how well he knows me, he can tell what I am feeling and thinking even when I don't say a word. Again, I snarled at Kyle, who really doesn't know when to stop being a douche. "I do not really care at all. Consider leaving now so I can work!" I then demanded in my fiercest, most autocratic tone. "It's just about midday," Kyle says. "I initially thought we would also be inspecting the warehouses today." I can only really huff automatically in direct reply to Kyle's remark. I did say that to him, though. But knowing that Ariella is still here actually made me feel like I should really not leave as well. I must, however, continue fighting these emotions. I know that. I have been able to do it by

After giving out the others and waiting for Kyle's reports as he continuously taps on his phone, I take the time to look for Ari. Kyle also discreetly casts a glance at the men. "Where the fuck is she?" I brought it into question because I had a sudden suspicion that there would be a threat and she may be caught in the middle again. Ariella has a habit of getting caught in the crossfire for unknown reasons. "Don't ever let her out of your sight. Tell her to make it back inside the hotel. It will be safer for her if she's inside now." Kyle furrowed his brow at me, "Elliot, she's with her boyfriend. She is therefore no longer under our care or accountability. Aren't you just forgetting? You are the one who repeatedly told us that there ought to be absolutely nothing to link us to them moving forward. She is already her boyfriend's duty and obligation. Now let's get a move on. I'll get further intel on the warehouse. Brit is also already on his way, along with some of the men. We will ke

"Fine, you have been attempting to find the truth, right? I am trying my best not to hurt you with the facts, but you wanted this for yourself." He walked slowly back and forth and growled, "Then, I'll tell you the truth. Then, after you know the reality of the facts, I want you far away from me." He didn't give me a chance to answer him, as he continued, "I told you that in the fight, I came dangerously close to dying. And not just me, even my underboss almost lost his life. And as such, Ariella, that is just not possible to happen again. Because you enjoy having to act recklessly, impulsively, and selfishly all the damn time, I simply can not keep sacrificing my life for you. I've got a squad to handle and a gang that relies on me for direction. I can't just end up losing my life away to your theatrics, outbursts, rants, and perhaps other inconsequential things that matter to you. Now that you know why I had to act the way I did, do you understand my point? Do you agree with what I

Ari responded back, "I do not really know, Markus. I don't really want to stop. I just can't stop without knowing the truth. I am convinced that he has been deliberately lying to me and that this is not really what he wants. I am able to make sense that he is saying those things to me because something is completely off the mark with him. I need to know his underlying reason for why he suddenly wants me to stay away. I know he doesn't mean those words, and everything that he said to me is not what he actually feels." And Ari seems to be quite sure this is the case. She is confident that Elliot won't deliberately hurt her. And she keeps on telling herself that in order for her to move forward and have the strength to continue her purpose. She would have to use all kinds of measures to uncover Elliot's reasons, and she would need all the help she could get from Markus. "Ariella, this can't go on any longer. This would have to stop eventually. We can't complete the alphabet with your p

I tightened my grip on my fists and gritted my teeth in an effort to prevent chaos and destruction in our warehouse. Ariella on a date should never bother me. But no matter how hard I try, if they say one more thing about her and her date that I don't want to hear, I'll undoubtedly snap and kill someone in the process. "Who the hell is the new asshole?" I repeated the question, stressing the word "asshole" in the process. Kyle responded swiftly, "Not a new one. The very same fucking guy that set up that fucking trap for you. The new lover boy that you have met already." He emphasized. "What the crap! So, the capo is it? Ariella is dating Ethan's capo now for real?" I'm enraged to the hilt. Now, what else is Ariella trying to prove to me? She seems to be doing it on purpose because I am positively certain of it. She will be extremely disappointed and bitterly upset if she honestly believes she can elicit a response from me. My underboss and capo nod in agreement with my query. "They
