All Chapters of EMPIRE OF LIES : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

DELANOWhen did D'Leonardo D'Caprico start to care about his son's life? It was something... unexpected and fake."How did it go?" Jay met me when I came out of the house, walking towards the car."Same old tale. He's trying to make me kill Ariel." I replied."Expected. An eye for an eye." Jay said.Both eyes for an eye. Better rule."Ariel would try to kill you too, so..." He shrugged."Jay." I called as I rested my hand on the door, "I'll never try to kill a woman.... through marriage. It's a stupid game to play. Stabbing while sleeping, it's not fun.""This is not a matter of fun. It's life and death." He grabbed the door from my hand, pulling it open and motioning for me to go in.""Besides, Ariel would resort to those methods too." He said, getting into the driver's seat. Arguing with Jay was pointless, it didn't seem to me that Ariel would play childish games like that, she looked too smart."Do you feel nervous about the wedding? It's in three

ARIEL"So....Sasha?" Asshole Colt looked at me, taking his eyes away from the road."I didn't think you'd come to my company. You should have given me a call." He said."How then would you know that I'm really interested in you? I prove through actions and not just words." I smiled at him and his lips curved upwards."You are very bold. Not many of your type are this brave." He said and my teeth hit each other in an attempt to smile. Many of my type. Wow. "What type?" I asked as he pulled into his compound, bringing the car to a stop.For a CEO who talks big, his house was ridiculously small. "This–" He looked at me and gave a nervous laugh. "Welcome to my home." He muttered instead, getting out of the car.I didn't wait for a gentleman act as I also stepped out of the car instantly and walked behind him into the house."Where's your wife?" I looked around the house. Pretty decent for a half murder scene."She's out of the country.""Hmm, I see." I muttered with a smile, "Perfect."

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

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,

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
