"How can you be a mafia?" Elaina was still stuck at that point. She doesn't move here and there. He stands before her and wishes to say something. However, he hates women, and currently, he tolerates the tantrums of a lady because she finds his secret.
He regrets visiting that person and punishes them in the open place. He owns the forest area; his secret home is built there. Blackie lives there and keeps his estate safe. Then, how can this stupid girl come there?He exhaled deeply and rolled his head with irritation. He licks his dried lips and finally speaks with this girl."Your family is full of the mafias, and you..." The man is frustrated beyond the limit. He tolerates a girl around him as the more significant thing."I can't marry a mafia. I was running away from the mafia, and how could God prank me like this? This is not fair," Elaina cries dramatically. Does she regret her decision?"Now, keep quiet and don't say this to anyone," The man hardly says this to her. He never requests, he only releases words, and they become rules.His secret was hidden till today when Elaina found him. She raises her hands in the air and scratches her face. She cried, "How can you be the Mafia?""You are kidding. It might be a dream," Elaina scratches her hair and tries to clear her brain."Fine, I'm not Mafia," The man shrugs off. His smirk again scared her."Wait," Elaina got a spark. She jumps out of bed and asks, "Does your family know about this personality?"The expression on the man's face changes instantly. The coldness covers his face. His words turn hard toward Elaina. His hands curl into first balls, making the noise of clenching fists. His cold gaze bores Elaina tip to toe.Elaina shivers and steps back. Thinning her lips, she plasters a fake and vicious smile. She understands why she is here and not at home. She has found a secret gem, the secret of the great Aaron Black."So, you need a favor from me," She smirks. His eyes screw her. His arrogant attitude is at its peak. He feels like she mocks him. He stepped rapidly toward her, which was enough to scare her."Do you know, little pig, who I'm?" He arrogantly says and inserts his hands into his pocket.She twitched her lips and asked, "How can you be so arrogant and rude after getting exposed as a mafia?"She pauses and crosses her arms to her chest, "Mr Aaron Black.""And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a mafia king arrogant and rude?" Aaron smirks and steps hurriedly to her. Rapidly, she rattles back.Elaina collects all her strength and argues, "So, if you want me dead, I will be dead.""Yes, of course." His signature and dangerous smirk shiver her spine."But I'm not," She smirks back. She tries to be brave, but his dark aura makes her scared."Yet..." He played a pinch, and the black panther entered the room. It slowly growls.Elaina swallows the lump that forms in her mouth. She jumped back on the bed and looked at the calm animal, which was no longer cruel, but his emerald eyes were enough to make her unconscious. The black panther's dangerous aura is enough to scare anyone. Its sharp teeth are shining like armor."Now, If you want to stay alive, be a good girl and keep your mouth shut..." He pauses for a second and sighs, "About my secret.""If... If... Irefuseu... refuse..." She hardly utters, seeing the live bomb walking towards her. She is about to cry, but still, she shows her bravery against Aaron."Blackie..." Aaron smirked and signaled the black panther to jump on the bed. It happens within a few seconds; the giant cat jumps on the bed. Elaina closes her eyes and hides her face. A fearful scream escapes from her mouth. However, her voice choked up under her throat.To her surprise, she doesn't feel any pain or weight. The next second, she feels the warm breathing of an animal. She feels something furry on her legs. She pulled back her legs and caged them into her arms, locking them. Aaron can hear her heartbeat. A mischievous smile curls up on his lips.She hears a growl from Blackie. She opened her left eye and looked at Blackie. To shock her, Blackie is snuggling on her legs. It bows and surrenders before her."Blackie..." Aaron shouts at his pet, but nothing works. Blackie sits on the bed, showing off that Aaron is no longer his boss.Elaina raises her head and sees Blackie sitting before her, bowing his head. She pinches herself to check if she has died or not. Her gaze locks with Blackie's emerald eyes. A fantastic bond is established between their eyes. She releases her legs and sits in an Indian style, folding her legs. He crawls to her and snuggles his head into her belly.Elaina's trembling hands reach for his head; she starts rubbing his fur. It does not smell bad. She cannot smell blood from Blackie. They are lost in their new bond when a roaring sound echoes in the room."Traitor..." Aaron shouts.Blackie roars and stands before Aaron, like he is warning Aaron not to harm her; otherwise, he is here to save her. and starts walking around Elaina like he is here to protect her. Though her body is shivering, Elaina laughs, seeing Blackie's behavior. She covers her mouth and pulls her legs again to her chest, caging them in her arms."I have an offer for you, Mr Black," Elaina smirks. She is an evil queen this time. Aaron stares at Blackie, like he is ready to shoot him now.Aaron remains silent and sharply stares at her. Elaina clears her throat and says, "You have to pretend like a good husband..."He steps ahead with anger, and she crawls back, swallowing the saliva of fear. She completed her lines, "At home only."He shakes his head."And behave like a gentleman with me," She added.He raises his brow."You will not be cruel to me," She added again.Aaron stands close to the bed and sneers, "Anything else?""I will add according to the situation," She shrugs off casually."I will see you, traitor, "Aaron looks at Blackie and turns to Elaina."Behave yourself, or I will not think twice before killing both of you," He sneers and walks out of the room.Elaina sighs in relaxation and says, "Your boss is so cold and rude. He didn't introduce us.""Hi, I'm Elaina, wife of your arrogant boss," Elaina stops Blackie and starts, ruffling its fur. It sits next to her and growls in reply. She smiles carefree and looks at Blackie with so much love and concern. Blackie sits next to her; Elaina rests her head on its head, thinking deeply about Aaron, Myra, and herself.She never assumes that she will marry a Mafia king. He is the capo; it is the bitter truth of her life. She doesn't understand yet; how is it possible?"The group of his name..." Elaina looks at Blackie."The Black Panthers, the Italian Mafia..." She looks at Blackie with shock. Her eyes widen with surprise. She doesn't know more about this gang but hears it from her father. The cruelest Mafia group all over the world.Blackie growls in reply. A shiver ran through her veins. She has jumped into the biggest mud pond, filled with blood. She was still in trauma; how would she hide his secret, and for how long?She never thought that Aaron would have another personality. She worries about Myra now; how will she react when she learns about Aaron? Every family member's images flashed before her eyes. She asks silently, "How can you do this, Aaron? How did you enter this blood ocean?"Her assumption is baseless because she doesn't know much about Aaron's background. She remembers every moment when she was searching for Aaron on the internet. Only she knew how much effort she had made in the past to get information about Aaron. She never finds any clue about him being a mafia.A man in a black uniform enters the room and bows, "Ma'am, your car is ready. Boss orders to leave now."She gets up, ruffling Blackie. She says, "I hope we will meet again."She leaned and kissed its forehead. She thins her lips and says, "You are cute. See you, Blackie."Blackie growls and stops her way. She sighs, sitting before him, "I know, but I have to go."She raises her hand and says, "Friends?"Blackie snuggles in her hand. She ruffles her fur and walks out of the room. Her new car is before her. She finds someone sitting in the driver's seat. She leans to see the person. She shouts surprisingly, "You?""Yes, ma'am," Nina replies with a sweet smile.Another man in a black uniform makes her sit in the car. Nina sighs and says, "I'm your driver cum bodyguard."Elaina is about to ask her, "Does Aaron give this car to her?"But before she could speak, Nina said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am."She sprayed something before Elaina's face. Within a second, Elaina lost her senses and collapsed into the car's back seat."Be with her and make sure she doesn't go outside without you," Aaron comes from nowhere and orders Nina. She nods and drives a car from the parking zone. She glances at Elaina for a brief second and shakes her head.“Hey, Elaina, are you leaving for university?” Myra comes from upstairs and stops Elaina, who is about to leave home. “Yeah, Mom,” Elaina stops and passes a pretty, yet painful smile to Elaina. “I got a call from Austin, He forgot his laptop at home. He never brings it home. The last night, he brought it here and forgot it. Will you please, deliver it to the office?” Myra gives a bread explanation to Elaina. “Office?” Elaina hesitates. She never visits the office premises. Even, she didn't face Aaron for many days. Her last encounter with Aaron was horrible. Aaron’s secret was hard to digest, still, she is trying to keep it secret. Nina is always around her and helps her a lot in everything. “Yeah, Nina will lead you there,” Myra shrugs off. Myra handed her the laptop bag. “Okay,” Elaina moves from there. “Elaina,” Elaina’s legs glued as her ears hear Myra again. “Why do I feel that you are hiding something from us?” Myra asked with pain. Elaina’s eyes spread as she heard her. S
-Aaron Black- Elaina's gaze stuck on the handsome man. She couldn't resist and her eyes makes contact with his beautiful hazel-blue eyes. Within two seconds, her gaze averted from him. Aaron looks at her and sighs. He remembers her words. She blackmails him, indeed. His anger rose, but this time whom it will blast, only he knows. He looks at Jose and then back at Elaina. He roars, "Who are you?" Elaina suddenly looks at him with confusion. Her gaze is stuck on Aaron's angry, yet charming face. Elaina feels insulted, she knows and accepts that no one knows about her and Aaron's relationship, but he should not ask her like this before his employees. She feels like he is facing a ghost at this time. Her eyes' corner fills with unshaded tears. His cold gaze is glued to her face. It is angry and emotionless. "Ask her..." Aaron looks at Jose. Jose hesitates and smirks at Elaina. "Who are you, Miss?" Jose asks confidently. Jose knows how Aaron treat woman, so he was overconfident that
When Elaina reached home, she moved straight to her bedroom. Exploring her stuff, she picked up a jewellery box. She was crying while opening the package. She picked up the jewellery and removed the velvet stand. She pulled out some papers from it. These papers were quite old. They are like letters from someone.Maybe, those letters were too crucial for Elaina. Seeing those letters, she cried hard. There was no one to console her. She remembered someone and smiled painfully, saying in a low tone, "If you were here, nothing would be like that."She unfolded the letters and started reading the papers, sitting before the cupboard. Tears were flowing down her cheeks. Once she had done reading those letters, she wiped off her tears. Hugging those letters, she cried and smiled. She was confused about her own feelings.After a long time, she placed those letters back under the box and covered them with her jewellery. Putting the box back in the locker, she locked the safe and the cupboard. S
"Brother, actually, do you know what they did?" Aiden said hesitantly. He was trying to keep the surroundings chill. This is actually impossible when Aaron is around.Aaron narrowed his gaze at Aiden. For the first time after many years, Aaron was sitting next to a girl, and these guys destroyed their moments. He never likes it if someone interrupts his conversation. "Brother, I bought a phone for Elaina, and these idiots have sent the photos or videos to Pihoo," Aiden complained. Aaron's expression changed to a smooth one. A soft chuckle escapes from his mouth. Aaron could only smile and approached the door to exit from the foyer. Aiden, Elliot and Amelia forgot to breathe and froze at their place. Seeing their frozen status, Elaina asked, "What happened?""Did brother smile?" Amelia asked, dumbfounded. She added, "Pinch me, Elli.""Pinch Me, Elaina," Aiden showed his hand to Elaina. Their shocking expressions are worth it because they have not seen Aaron without anger on his face.
Elaina was not as powerful as Pihoo. She was about to fall on the floor when someone saved her by holding her. Elaina closed her eyes to feel the pain but didn't feel any pain."What?" Myra screamed with shock. Aaron held Elaina and protected her from falling. Elaina was trying to feel the pain, but she couldn't. She snapped open her eyes to see the person who saved her. Her eyes widened with shock. Aaron made her straight and stood her on her feet. It happened so rapidly."Pihoo?" Myra shouted. Myra was surprised to hear Pihoo. But she didn't tell Ruhi about Aaron's sudden marriage."Aunt, don't go for her cute face; she is the..." Pihoo tried to grab Elaina's neck, but Aaron came forward and stood before her. Elliot was still laughing at his prank. All the other family members are shocked and worried."My wife," Aaron said coldly."Wife?" Peter shouted in shock. "Yes," Austin said with a smile. He was peeking at Aaron, standing before Elaina to protect her. His gaze caught the att
Aiden and Pihoo got downstairs silently. Everyone seems happy now. Pihoo smiled, looking at them; it was the first time her smile was shy. She was always bold and behaved like a tomboy. Her wrestling craze made her more like a boy."I hope you have shorted out your issues," Ruhi welcomed Pihoo and Aiden with her warm hug. Ruhi's smile was endless today. Aiden embraced Ruhi and Pihoo together. "We are so happy that you have chosen each other. When you were kids, we were hoping that you should get married to each other. But we didn't wish to apply our decision to you. Thank you for transforming our friendship into an official relationship," Myra hugged Ruhi and Aiden from their back. Happy tears were gleaming in their eyes. Peter said, "If your sentimental drama is over, can we discuss something about the marriage?" “Awww, someone is so excited to be a father-in-law?” Myra pouted to tease Peter.They separated with a short laugh. Ruhi and Myra are so excited about Aiden and Pihoo's we
Elaina was on the ninth cloud. She was happy that Aaron accepted her before people except his family. She found hope for their wedding. It was a big thing for her. Somewhere she knew that Aaron would not allow anyone to plan their wedding again. She was sure that Myra’s demand increased Aaron’s anger. She was still happy for Aaron’s step about their wedding acceptance. Elaina was in her wonderland. She lay peacefully on her king-size bed, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains. Her expression was serene, and a contented smile played on her lips as she slept. In that tranquil moment, it was evident that her happiness was not just a fleeting emotion but a state of being that accompanied her even in the realm of dreams. The room around her seemed to radiate with a sense of calm, mirroring the inner harmony that she carried into her slumber.As Aaron entered the room, he found a sleeping beauty, to whom he never paid any attention. A short one-piece nightdre
Engagement rituals can vary widely depending on cultural and personal preferences. Some common engagement rituals include exchanging rings, making formal announcements to family and friends, and possibly hosting a small celebration or dinner. Austin and Myra were wishing the best for their children and they approached more India-style weddings and engagement rituals.
