Ghost

AVERY’S POV Somehow Aiden did not push farther for answers. I did try talking to him about what had happened earlier with Jayden. “No need.” Was his reply when I tried to talk about it. Sitting in my room, I went through my phone, hoping to catch Kiki online. I didn’t have anyone to talk to. Sydney was grieving, too sad to speak to anyone and Jayden was an ass. Everything seemed weird. One second everything is fine and in the next, there is chaos. Finally deciding to go to bed, I laid in bed face up staring at the ceiling. I wasn’t exactly close to Stephan, still, I could not accept the fact that he was no more. A loud scream had me jumping out of bed wondering what was going on. I could swear that it sounded like Sydney. I bolted out of the and headed towards Sydney’s room. At the same time, Aiden rushed out of his room. That means he heard it too. “Aiden, what was that? “ “ I don’t know.” He replied, worry obvious in his voice. Together, we head straight to Sydney’s room.

Sneak peek

WRITER’S POVWhat is the best way to beat a lair if not at his own game? Aiden flashed a huge smile at the man in the Study with him.They’d spent most of the day going through files— incriminating evidence of businesses and relationships, anything they could get their hands on.“I must say, you are way smarter than I give you credit for. How did you get all of this?”“Sneaky work, long story. You might want to get copies of this and hand it over to Giovanni's.” The suggestion was harmless, innocent even but it ignited a fire within Aiden. “What for?”“No offense but your family and theirs have been at war for decades now, it’ll be the perfect opportunity to end the feud.”“And what do you think you know about the feud, huh? They took everything! Everything… And until I get my revenge, I seek no peace.” Aiden roared, his voice stiff with rage. The Giovanni’s and the Mancini’s—Armstrong’s now, have fought endlessly since the time of Don Matteo Mancini, Aid

33: Change

Avery's pov “You're starting school tomorrow, right?” Aiden asked, his eyes focused on his phone. Three days had gone by since Stephan's death. Sometimes, Aiden lets his control slip, letting us— me see a glimpse of his worry, maybe pain. “Yes.” I replied, stuffing more bread into my mouth. Aiden had started eating at the dining table all of a sudden. At first, I wasn't comfortable and I considered taking my food upstairs to eat but I know Aiden, maybe not much but enough to know he'd make up something in his. Maybe he just wanted company. “I could wait until after Stephan's burial…” “No. There's no need to wait. You've already lost half of the semester.” His voice was calm as he spoke. Too bad it took the loss of someone dear to him to change him. “I'll drop you off at school.” “What?” I must have heard wrong. There's no way Aiden would volunteer to be my driver. “You heard me.” He said, his voice so sharp. He might have changed but he still couldn't deal with being question

34: I love you

Aiden’s pov For some reason Avery was uncomfortable as we sat and ate at the dining table. She kept stealing glances at me while I focused on my phone. Though my focus was on my phone, I could see her from the corners of my eyes. “you’re starting school tomorrow, right?” I asked peeking a little from the corner of my eyes without lifting my head from my phone. “yes, but I can wait until after the burial.” She can’t be serious. “No need.” I sipped my coffee as I watched her fill her mouth with bread. Silly thoughts of filling her mouth with something else filled my head. Her discomfort was beginning to worsen. “what’s wrong?” I asked. “Nothing.” There was obviously something wrong but still, she said nothing, asking why I would even think something was wrong. “I have eyes, Bella Mia.” Endearments now came freely and for some reason, I seemed to like it. With a slight move of my index finger, I gestured for her to come over to me. When I had gotten her right where I

35: Decapitated

Avery Pov What was I thinking? I clearly wasn’t thinking at all. Why did I tell him I loved him? My lack of control over my tongue wasn’t the worst part, his reaction was. Everything was fine a few moments ago. I had just had the most intense pleasure of my entire life and went ahead to ruin it with my silly confession of love. “What happened? Is it because I said I love you?” I already knew the answer to these questions. My heart ached, knowing he could never feel the same for me. “I don’t expect you to say it back. You don’t have to feel the same way. This is me letting you know about my feelings.” My voice cracked, exposing the hurt I fought so hard to hide. “Avery i—” His words were caught off the sound of multiple gunshots. Fear twisted a knot in my stomach. Not again. Memories of the night I got shot kept replaying in my head. My fear got me rushing over to Aiden, clinging to him like his my only means of survival. I hoped it was all a dream. “What was that, Aiden? Wh

36: Fainting fever

Aiden’s pov I’ve had my fair share of bloodshed. I’ve been through shit and I’ve survived a lot of stomach churning situations. Thought I’d finally passed that phase. The sight of Carlos’ battered and decapitated head left a sick taste on my tongue. Memories replayed in my head. “Fuck!!!” I couldn’t bottle up my frustration. I could have saved them if I had been quick enough. Heaven knows it would have been better if he’d died in the car explosion than this way. “I want them all dead!” “Boss, I think it’s best if you leave for now, at least until everything calms down.” “No, I can’t possibly do that! I’ll look like a coward and besides they’d—” I heard Avery’s voice, she screamed at me. I could barely process what she was saying. “You’ll let the rest of us die because you’re too ashamed to run away from danger?” She questioned me in anger. “Avery, you shouldn’t be here! I asked you to stay in my room.” I shouted back. She knew nothing! Nothing about what was going on or how

37: Doctors report

Avery’s POV I opened my eyes to find Aiden’s face hovering over mine. He looked worried. How long was I out? “You’re awake. How are you feeling, Avery?” Aiden asked, looking and sounding concerned. His brows were knitted together in worry. “I feel fine but tired for some reason.” At these words, Aiden held my face in his hands, looking into my eyes. He was acting like a doctor, trying to confirm if my words were true. “Are you hungry? I could ask the cook to make you something nice. A huge smile spread across my lips. “Thank you, Aiden. That’ll be nice, I’m starving.” “Good to hear.” He said with a smile. A few minutes later, food was brought up. I immediately sat up to eat. Aiden walked over to me, placed more pillows behind me so I could rest on them. “Time for you to eat.” I nodded at his statement, reaching for the plate, my fingers brushed against his, we’d both reached for the plate. When he looked up at me, his gaze was intense. For no reason at all, I felt a l

38: One good and one bad news

Aiden’s POV “Your wife is not sick, Mr. Armstrong. She’s pregnant. Congratulations!” “What‽” I exclaimed. Realizing that my reaction might scare Avery, I cleared my throat and continued in a softer tone. “I mean, you’re sure?” “Yes. I’ll forward the result to. I must inform you, your wife needs extra attention and care right now. Fatigue and a little illness is normal but without proper care—” “Thank you, Doctor Moreland.” I interrupted his speech. I wasn’t about to listen to his sermon. What did he take me for? An idiot? Of course I’ll take care of Avery and my child. Why was I so excited about this? I began racking my brain, thinking of the best way to keep my wife and child safe. I had to put an end to all of this sooner rather than later. “What’s wrong with me, Aiden, am I dying?” Avery asked, her voice shook with fear. Fuck, no! No way she was dying, not under my watch. I laid on the bed and gathered her in my arms. My heart raced, I could hear it in my ears. I was

39: Fruitless search

Aiden’s pov The search turned out fruitless. Going over to the enemy territory right now, would be pure stupidity. I had no proof whatsoever if she had been taken or not and aunt Rosa always disconnects from the world every now and then— no phones, nothing, just her and nature and whatever business she’s got in Mexico. What if she was really at the hands of the Martins or any of the enemy? No, it can’t be. This was Aunt Rosa, Queen Rosa, no way they’d try shit. I made certain news of her disappearance got to the right ears— Allies, especially those loyal to Rosa. She may not own her own mafia, but she was considered boss and leader by many. It was time to head home. “Simon, draft a petition for Rosa’s release— safe and unharmed. Forward it to Zucchini, he’ll know what to do.” “Yes, boss.” With each passing minute, my anxiety grew. What if I fail at protecting my family? With the new addition, my unborn child, I need to be on my toes, ready for action. Soon, our feud with

40: Perfect ring for a perfect Woman

Aiden's Pov "What the fuck was the meaning of what I saw out there?" I asked Stephan when we were in the study. I had carried my wife, Avery to our room— our room? She was so determined to explain and I was determined to not listen. I knew none of that was her doing so I had to find out from Stephan. Why on earth would he carry my woman, my Avery in his arms like that? "Boss, I had to. You had asked that I make sure she was safe, that is what I did." He said with a straight face. I folded my fingers into a fist. It was all I could do to keep myself under control. "Don't let me ask that question a second time." "She was excited about some fireworks and kept running to see it clearly. Believe me boss, I tried stopping her, I advised her not to. When she didn't listen and continued running, I stopped her by carrying her." Stephan said, matter of factly. Wait… fireworks? The same fireworks I had seen on my way back? "She was excited about that?" I asked. My voice had softened.
