บททั้งหมดของ My Back-Up Boyfriend is a Mafia Boss: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

When I regained consciousness after the sleep I didn't realize I had been engulfed in, the surroundings were laden with a strong masculine fragrance. And in the midst of all of this, I feel that I am safe. When I opened my eyes, I looked at both sides and realized I was lying on a king-sized bed in a different room. A room that I feel so strongly connected with. I closed my eyes once more, trying to recall what had happened and where Matt was in all of this. Elliot has already rescued me, so I know I'm safe. And this room does not give me the same chills as the one I was in before it. This room feels like Elliot's, so comforting despite the very manly appearance. Thinking about Elliot made my mind a jumbled mess. The last thing I remember was wanting to start a conversation with him, but he stopped me and urged me to relax. The next thing I knew, I was overwhelmed with exhaustion and weariness. I can't help but wonder if Matt is worrying about me as I lie in bed with my eyes closed.

"You! It really is you! I cannot believe this. You! You're that woman! I know you!" I simply cannot stop myself from becoming outraged and agitated when I saw her. And no matter how much effort I strive to remain composed and collected for Elliot, I absolutely can't. Seeing her again brings back so many memories for me. I've been plagued with painful recollections of what she did to me. I will always see her as the one who tries to sabotage my relationship with Matt, even though I know Elliot has a part in that too. I decided to move away from Elliot and inched closer to the woman, who was still smiling at me despite the rage that I was showing her. "What are you doing here? Why are you here?" I started shouting, clenching my fists tightly in an attempt to alleviate my debilitating impulses. "Why is she here?" I exclaimed once more, directing my attention to Elliot this time. "Hey, Ari, baby, calm down." Elliot said as his arms wrapped around my waist, trying his best to constrain me

I've been staying at Elliot's home for more than a week now. I was glad that he did not force me again to go home to my family. That discussion ended when he told me everything he knew about Matt. And after that day, when I almost scratched her gorgeous face, I never saw Chloe again. And I was relieved that she never returned. Despite Elliot's explanations, I am still not interested in meeting her or seeing her again. I would rather not see her because, regardless of the fact that she is a farce, I still regard her as a threat, not to my relationship with Matt but rather to Elliot and me. And once again, I realized how messed up I am with my contradictory emotions. I am unfair, and I know that very well. Why do I always put a lot of pressure on Elliot to tell me the truth about everything when it's always me who is not really forthright about my feelings? Why do I always expect him to be honest with me at all times when I can't even be honest with myself? In my heart, I know I can'

"Hey, lover boy, thank you for agreeing to the meeting today, and an even bigger thank you for showing up and spending time away from your lady love." Kyle's obnoxious prodding began the instant I stepped inside my office. I went directly to my place, ignoring his shitty comments. I thought of going to the office to discuss things with Kyle and Briton. Ari asked if she could go out for a little while, and I consented, with the understanding that she would be accompanied by bodyguards to secure her safety. I don't really want to keep her at my place either and bore her. I know she needs to get out there and amuse herself in order to forget about all of the things that have happened to her. As soon as I was seated, Brit peered at me with the same smug expression as Kyle, and I knew these two bastards were probably going to try to irritate and annoy me again. "Boss, it appears you've had a fantastic week, hasn't it?" He begins by asking. I pretended I wasn't paying any attention to the

Darkness. Pain. Numbness. There are no specific words to describe how Ariella is currently feeling. She decided to run away from Elliot after their earlier confrontation, and she just never looked back. She will never see him the same way again. She seriously does not believe Elliot would have been so callous as to kidnap her in order for her to believe his deception. But he did, even if he knew that move could hurt her. Ari had no idea how vicious and villainous her best friend seemed to have become. Elliot is known for being domineering and demanding, but Ari never imagined he could be so unscrupulous. Ari had been traumatized since the day she was abducted. She was terrified. And it was all because of Elliot's idea. Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized that the hero she had presumed was clearly the villain in her story. Elliot is egotistical and selfish, and Ari will also never understand his barbaric ways, no matter what his justifications and reasons are. One thing is cle
