Aria took the slow confident steps towards the stairs of her dream gracefully. The voices of the men of Cosa Nostra rang in her ears, she still remembered those insults, and humiliation thrown at her after her ruined wedding that day. …….“Cosa Nostra can never be ruled by a weak woman who can't even get her personal life together let alone the professional one. A woman can't get the reign ever and today we saw that.” Fenriz, one of the trusted underbosses of Cosa Nostra stated to his Capo, Aaron who sat there silently still thinking about the things that happened a few hours ago. How the Russian Pakhan ruined his daughter's wedding mercilessly. “This is true, Capo. Miss Knight had brought shame and disappointment today to Cosa Nostra by getting involved with the Bratva Pakhan, our sworn enemy. For a while we considered her to be eligible to be the next Capo only if she proved herself strong , ruthless and capable Capo but today she proved the opposite. She proved that no woman can
Aria turned her attention from the underbosses to her brother whose eyes were reflecting her own pride. Aaron cleared his throat and Aria looked at her father. "Twenty-eight years ago, I took over the throne of Cosa Nostra with pride and ambition from my father, Ethan Knight. And today I am passing the throne to my daughter, Aria Salvatore Knight. Your new Capo dei Capi."Goosebumps aroused in Aria's body, her ears were dying to hear these words from years. It felt as if rain had greeted the barren desert finally. "After her oath today, you all will bow your heads in her authority. She will rule over your lives and deaths. Her words will be commands for you. Her words will be as sacred as religion for you all. Her disrespect will end up in your death. So respect her. Fear her and bow your head in front of her as you bow in front of me…"Aria froze for a moment hearing her father's words. Aleksandr said something similar too when He crowned her as the Brat
Dinara puffed out a long sigh as she placed the phone back on the table for the tenth time today. It's been five days since Leonus left for some business trip. She had been waiting for him to call her once but he didn't. She kept telling herself and Leigh that he was busy and didn't have time to call. Business was more important but Dinara knew that it was all nothing but a lie. Leigh knew it too, she kept pestering Dinara to break this so-called lovely marriage. She told her many times that Leonus didn't love her But Dinara didn't listen to her. She was adamant to win Leonus' heart. Don't worry, Dinara, one day Leonus will love you as much as you love him. She once again consoled herself with the same pep talk she had been doing for the past few months. The few sweet moments she spent with Leonus gave her hope but his mood changes constantly. She didn't know how to cope with his bipolar nature. Dinara rested her hand on her belly, " Liz, Your Dad loves you. Don't be sad about his l
A blonde girl wearing a nude dress for a moment held his interest. The girl waved her fingers at him, smiling broadly. Leonus smiled back at her and the girl walked to him. "Hey handsome, mind buying me a drink?" She said in a sultry voice caressing her long blonde hair and batting her lashes at him. Leonus smirked while giving her a nod. "Sure," he said as he turned to the bartender and ordered a drink for the girl. "Maggie," the girl offered her hand for a handshake as she moved closer to him. Leonus eyed her hand for a moment before finally taking it. The girl smiled and rested her hand on his chest and neared his ear. "Shall we go to the dance floor after the drink?" She whispered seductively, teasing his earlobe with her tongue. Leonus was smiling one minute at her and the other minute he stiffened when she moved closer to him and licked his earlobe.Dinara's innocent image flashed in his vision and it all happened abruptly when He grabbed the girl by her hair and pushed her a
Bella's eyes widened in horror seeing Dinara's condition. She was lying on the floor unconscious, her clothes drenched in blood. "Dinara!" Bella screamed and ran inside her room. "What happened to her?" She demanded sharply to Leigh who was crying and patting Dinara's face. "Why are you asking me, ask your son! My Dia is in this condition because of him!" Leigh cried, she was shivering badly seeing her friends' condition. "Leonus?" She whispered. Her son was responsible for Dinara's condition. She couldn't believe it. She didn't want to believe it. But she didn't have the time to think about all this at this moment. The most important thing at this moment was saving Dinara and her baby. She called for an ambulance immediately before running to Dianara. Her eyes went to her trousers drenched in blood and Bella's heart stopped. She knew what that meant but she prayed to Mother Mary to have mercy on Dinara as she waited for the ambulance. ...Bella prayed for some miracle for Dinar
Leonus's body went numb. Blood froze in his body as Dinara's face flashed in his vision. Her smiling features, her naive talks, her beautiful eyes, her beautiful lips. Her silly antics, everything started flashing into his vision and his mother's words pierced through his heart and bleeding it. ‘Congratulations son, you have killed my trust today. Leonus Salvatore Knight, you have murdered your daughter today. Are you happy now? Are you happy, Leonus, You killed your daughter! Your blood! You killed your unborn child!’He didn't know how to react to this news. Everything turned lifeless around him. Everything! "Leo? Are you going to stay standing here or say something? What happened to Mom? Why did she call? Is everything alright in New York?" Aria demanded as she shook her brother hard who turned into a lifeless statue hearing the call. Aria's heart flipped in apprehension when the phone slid out of his hand. "Answer me, Leo!" She yelled at him. Tension took over her features seei
Bella's hands were shivering while calling her husband. But to her bad luck, his phone was switched off. "Aaron…" she whispered breathlessly and called him again. But once again she was disappointed. Although she didn't want to, she had no other option than calling Leonus. Her heart picked speed when the bell started ringing.Bella clutched her chest in relief and waited for Leonus to accept the call which he did almost immediately. "Mom. Mom Dinara…""Leonus…" Bella couldn't hold out the sob as she spoke. "Hospital. She is not here. Someone attacked here…The guards. They all are dead. Dinara and Leigh. They were here a few minutes ago and now…Leonus I…" Bella told him freaking out in a anxiety. She didnt know what happened here and all this blood and dead bodies were making her anxious."Mom! Mom, what are you saying? What happened there! Mom!" Leonus screamed from the other end. They just landed in New York and settled into their awaiting car. The first thing he did after settling
Bella looked at her husband blankly who was trying to talk to her about Aria taking over Cosa Nostra. But Bella was not interested in that anymore. The day she feared for all these years came finally and she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't stop it. Her daughter finally became Capo of Cosa Nostra. "Bella…" Aaron once again started but Bella shook her head. "I don't want to hear anything, Aaron. You and your children did what you all wanted. Now, I am only worried about Dinara. That girl already went through a lot. Now do me a favour, Velenoso. Help me find my daughter-in-law. You are a power full man, the whole of New York is scared of you. So help me to find her."Aria clenched her hand into a tight fist hearing her mother's taunts. Her mother's dream had always been different from hers. But she never thought that her mother's words would hurt Her this much. "Mom, I know you are angry…" Aria said as she walked to her mother and crouched in front of her. "But.." Aria rest
