Chapter 1 — Sneak Peek

"Don't ever forget that you are mine, I am your husband." He roared at me while bruising my arm in his death fist, pulling me towards him. I was controlling my tears with great efforts. Don't want to show him that he has power over me, over my heart. He had power to control me. I asked while building my fake courage in from of him. I can't believe I loved this bastard so much that my heart only beats after his but what he did?
" I don't believe in such marriage. I didn't say ' I do'. We are not married." I tried to push him placing my hands over his chest but he gripped my jaw in his hand. His eyes showering rage and then his lips crashed on mine with brutal force, biting my lips and drawing blood. He suffocated me in his kiss, tears started rolling down my cheeks but he didn't let me take a breath until he was sure that I couldn't continue further.
Struggling to steal a breath from his grasp, I tilted my head up at him, his anger filled eyes were replaced with psychotic calmness. His rapid breaths were mingling with mine, showing his dominance over me. Like they are saying that I am his from now onward. Scaring me with my reality, making me run from my escalated beating heart. Wanting to push and pull him at same time.
" I have already proved that your heart belongs to me. Haven't I tesero? " He dragged his finger on my face at a slow pace, his lips were brushing mine at his every word. I nodded as I remembered how he did that. His hand moved from my face to my neck and then my cleavage. Tears were streaming from my eyes.
" Besides, I don't need your permission to marry you. I rule here. Anyway I don't let you forget that I am your husband." With that he grabbed my waist in his large hand and pulled me towards him, his hand roaming on my back. Screeching sound thundered throughout the room. I screamed nearly at his move, he teared my dress with his bare hand and with a jerk he picked me up and started walking towards bed.
" Are you going to force yourself on me? " Just a thought about it terrified me and mine every cell. He stopped walking and turned his head towards me and smirked.
"Tesero, As now you are officially mine, you are mine to protect, mine to care, mine to adore, mine to torture and mine to break. " he held his sinister smile which shivered my soul. He answered with a smirk holding on his lips while nuzzling his face in my neck, smelling my skin with a deep breath. I could never understand him. I can see the care in his eyes for me but he doesn't know how to show it without hurting me or my feelings.Within the blink of an eye I found both of us naked on his bed. He just said to me that he will not force me then what he is doing?
" Please, not today." I requested while controlling my tears and breathing.
"You need a lot of energy to hear what your father in law is going to tell you tomorrow." He responded by kissing my bosoms and dragging his lips until he reached my lips. With that he pulled my naked body on top of his laying over the mattress. I resisted but he jerked me wrapping his both hands around my waist tightly. My face in his neck, I slept to get prepared for another shock coming in my life to scatter me, my dreams, my expectations, my fate, my existence.

Chapter 2 — Understanding Death

A sharp pain erupted through my head, I felt my ragged breathing. I tried to open my eyes but it feels like weight on my eyelids. I was struggling to open my eyes and finally I got the success. It's too dark and the foul smell of rotten blood was burning my nose. A small light bulb was hanging on a corner showcasing the moulded walls and broken glass of a window of the room, dripping sound of water echoing throughout the room. I flickered my eyelids to get a clearer image as my head was spinning due to pain. Where am I? How did I end up here? Heach was killing me, it's too much, shit. Now, I remember I was heading to report boss about the whereabouts of club and someone hit me with something hard on my head. I felt blood rolling down from my left temple but I couldn't feel any pain as it went totally numb. It was flowing down upto my neck. I tried to move my arm to touch it but I couldn't reach it as I was tied to a wooden chair. Horror passed over me as I got to the basement of his house. He found out that I was stealing information from him. I am going to die now. Droplets of sweats rolling down my temples and neck. My heart beats like a drum as I hear the sound of some heavy footsteps increasing continuously and with a loud bang, the door of the room flies over another corner of the room as Death himself kicked the door.
As my eyes catch his eye, my breathing becomes impossibly difficult as I remember the stories of his tourcher. Now, I am going to experience it live. He had a little excited look in his eyes as he stared at me making me remove my gaze from him, as I am just a toy to him to remove his boredom. Blazing Arius comes into view making my blood go cold. Even his men keep their distance while talking to him.
" You took a long time, Luca, for this task." He sounded calm in his voice but his voice was cold enough to freeze anyone. He came into light, eye stabbing me, he went into the dark side of the room. His footsteps were roaring in the room. We are nearly seven eight people but his presence made us stitch the mouth. As he came into light again, my eyes widened making my throat go dry.
" No No No No, AHHHHHH" That bastard came towards me with a drilling machine in his hand, I thought he would use a knife or something but No. He brought something unimaginable and without muttering another word he drilled my thigh. My screams are resonating throughout the room.
Blades of drill were cutting my flesh, leaving it teared roughly making blood splashing all over us. I screamed at the top of my lungs, burning my throat but his face didn't even show a flinch. I tried to move but all my efforts went in vain. He had a maniac smile on his face and his eyes were shining in dark, fucker was enjoying the show. Rot in hell you Bastard. Finally, he stopped. As I was busy composing myself with a new pain and controlling my breathing he drilled my hand mercilessly. New trails of pain were shooting my spine, draining whole energy from my body. A throat tearing screams left me, making his men shiver. Even they turned their faces away from me, shutting their eyes. Few of them covered their backs. One of them nearly screamed but put his hand on mouth to suppress it. He turned glaring towards him as he heard a subtle huff from one of his men. He shivered and bowed down.
It gave me a few seconds to breathe. He is not asking anything. What does he want from me? He raised his hand to hold the drilling machine in his both hands and he approached mine head. I was shivering like a leaf in a storm. This man is totally crazy, he is more threatening than his actual rumors. Why the fuck, I agreed to do that?
" I -- w-ill, t-ell." I tried to speak but my whole throat started burning and it felt dry. God, graced me as he stopped and put the machine down on the blooded floor. My eyes were hooded, I could only see someone standing , that's it. All my energy is concentrated on breathing. I heard his Chuckle as turned around, holding a sinister smirk on his face.
" What Salvatore is looking for?" He asked while taking a seat in the chair. I tried to open my eyes completely but I didn't have any energy. If I tell him the truth, he will kill my wife, I can't.
" c- ons-ign--ment." I spoke with great difficulty. As I completed my sentence he grabbed my shirt and hurled me against the wall, my head hit it and blood started flowing like water. I could only hear my beating heart. Everything went silent for a while. With my half open eye, I saw a metallic shine on his hand. I don't even know what it is but it was but I opened my mouth to stop him but nothing came out. His men came forward and dragged in front of him. His eyes are like showering fire at me.
" One more chance, what is he looking for?" His voice is like he is screeching my soul from inside. I didn't have an option for that. I have a family, and the responsibility of my wife. If I told him, my boss would kill her and I didn't tell him, he would kill me. I don't want to die. No one wants to die. Whole room started spinning around.
" H-er. Sh-e is al-ive." I gathered all my courage to speak. I was supported by two of his men by my shoulder. My head was hanging down as my main concern was my life.
" Who?" He asked loudly, making me and his men flinch. Their grasp on me tightens and one of them pulls my hair up to see blood bathed Arius Accardo. He had an evil smile on his face, mocking me for my failed belief system and trying to protect myself. Someone has named him right. Arius - death. He took his name pretty seriously.
" Ari-" before I could complete anything I heard a loud sound.
" Bang" ......
Arius Accardo POV,
Aria, how dared he to take her name? Wait, She is alive? She is alive. That day, still fresh in my mine. How can I forget that day. It was the first and last time I saw her that day, the day my life changed, the day all light from my life got sucked out of it like Aria. I don't know how to feel in this situation? Should I be happy that she isn't dead or should I worry that Salvatore is looking for her and I don't know where she is right now?
Aria Russo, I still remember it like yesterday. That beautiful five years angel running around the corridors, holding a heart melting smile, with her shining honey brown eyes. Searching everywhere, calling me loudly in that cute white dress printed with her favorite strawberries on the bottom of it. It was supposed to be a happy and memorable day for us. We were going to meet for the first time on that day. I had waited for that day for so long.
She had a birthday card in her cute little hand with a picture of strawberries. I had laughed so hard that she made strawberries on a card for me, then she said I am her friend so, her choice will be my choice and I agreed too.
She was waiting for me in the window of her bedroom, waiting for my arrival, holding a lot of hope and excitement, when I saw her for the first time. Her lips formed a beautiful smile when I got out of the car and turned towards her. She called me from the window, waving her hand and turned around to come down. I still couldn't forget that smile of hers from the window, it warms my heart every time I remember it, it feels less.
I heard a sound clearing someone's throat, then I got in my consciousness. I was still holding a gun towards his body.
All the men were standing a few steps away from me, maybe it was too much for them. It's good that they are afraid of me. Fear is the only emotion, who lets us bend on our knees in front of power.
" Sab, clear his body and then I have a special task for you." I ordered him.
" si Capo(yes boss). " He replied with a deep bow, he never met my eye level. He is one of the skilled and trusted men. He isn't afraid to speak to me about his true opinions regarding my decision, without caring whether I like it or not as he thinks that his loyalty belongs to me with his body and mind. That's why I made him my left hand.
If she is alive, then she is in danger. She needs to be secured. He said he is looking for her, which means he too didn't know where she is now. It's good news, but he will soon find her and I have to find her before him. I need to find her, my Crowning will be smooth as dad is bound by my blood oath. He thinks that I am not suitable to rule yet. With that I left the basement and turned towards the mansion. I saw the car of the padre(father) coming, I rolled my eyes and entered the hall. I was about to ascend the stairs to reach my bedroom, his loud harsh sound echoed in the hall.
" Arius Mario Accardo, stop there." He sounded very angry at me but it matter. I turned and started walking towards him. I stopped exactly in front of him. He was glaring at me with his hands in pockets.
" Something bothering you, padre?" I casually asked him. Folding my hands over my chest, giving him a cold look. His anger rose as I asked him.
" Look at you." He roared at me, trying his failed attempt to scare me. I signed and looked at my clothes, which were completely drenched in blood. It's not new, so why is he wasting my time? He started glaring at me, as he only received a bored look. He thinks I am becoming animistic.
" Don't forget, You haven't been crowned yet. Don't give me that look." He walked towards the sofa and took a seat while crossing his leg over another, reminding his authority over me.
" I don't need the Crown to rule Padre." I walked over to the sofa and took a seat in front of him with my blooded clothes like it doesn't matter at all. He gave me a stern look.
" You are going to Florida to handle business there, you need to learn how to keep yourself calm." He is only making me more angry at him.
" I am not going there, I have some important issues to resolve." I got up and started approaching the stairs again.
" you will, it's an order." He roared from behind and I stopped in my tracks and turned.
" A lot of mis transactions are going on in florida. Go and resolve it and control your daam anger. It's dangerous for our business." His retreating footsteps echoed in the hall and he went towards his bedroom. He is the leader so we all are bound to follow his orders. I had to solve that bloody Florida problem to achieve my rights.

Chapter 3 — Unwanted Changes

Elena Davis,
"Are you staying back again? El." Annoyed voice of my office colleague and friend made me jump on my place due to his sudden inversion on my cabin. I peeped out of my laptop to see his irritated face, leaning on the door with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Sorry, Theo. This will be the last." I showed my most convincing eyes to him as I have to complete my remaining work before the weekend as we planned to go for an outing and I am going to take a leave of a day. He narrowed his light brown eyes at me trying his fake attempt to intrigue me but I chucked at his attempt.
"Absolutely, NOT." He rolled his eyes and came forward to shut down my laptop. We joined Accardo Hotels together nearly a few years ago. From the first day, we have been working together. He is the head of the management department and I help him as he is senior to me. I am an assistant manager. He forced the laptop to shut down and started dragging me out of my chair towards the door.
"Ok, ok. I will come. You're never going to listen to me." I always do that. We are very close friends. He smirked at me showcasing his great victory. This boy is always over the top.
" Then, why do you tell me? Who is the boss here?" He faked his authority over me. He even faked Vince, when I poked his stomach with my elbow. we reached the elevator and I pressed the button and we got in.
"Oh, come on. Fourth time a week is too much, there is a lot of time for a deadline ." He reasoned with me.
" I know, aren't we going hiking? I am taking a week leave after that trip to visit dad." I told him the reason for my working extra as I wanted to visit dad, I miss him. He frowned at me in disbelief.
" Are you sure about that? I will come with you." I inquired about that with a concerned look on his face while we were getting out of the elevator. He has been my friend for a long time, he knows about me, most of it at least.
" Yaa, I am sure and I will handle everything. Don't worry." I tried to persuade him to let me go alone and luck was on my court. He nodded in defeat and signed loudly, hearing him I burst into laughter.
" Ok, bye. Teo." I bid him farewell and approached my car in the parking lot. I sat and drove towards my apartment. He is just worried about me, because my dad is a drug addict. Yes, he is. After my mom died due to terminal illness, he broke down and lost his mind. Even though they are my adopted parents, they showered me with all the love available in this world.
Everything was perfect until a few years ago, mom passed out and my life shook from its original place. It was more difficult for dad, as he loved her so much that he became silent for a few months and when he came out from his trance, he already lost his thinking capabilities. Well, he promised me to stop his drug habits. He will definitely try this time, I trust him. So, what if he is a drug addict, he loves me like his own daughter, to a girl who doesn't even know the name of her birth father. For me, he is the most important person in my life. One day, he will definitely understand how important he is for me and stop taking drugs.
I saw the lights of my apartment were on, which means it's time to meet my super cool roomy and my best friend Lucy Branden. Theo introduced me to her nearly three years ago, he and Lucy were classmates in highschool. We got along better than we ever expected and turned besties in no time, then we decided to become roomies. We rented a big apartment in downtown Miami.
I parked my car in my parking lot and went towards the elevator. In no time I reached my apartment and rang the bell. I waited for a few moments to let her open the door but, when she didn't I used my keys to get in. What's wrong with her? Why didn't she open the door, she always does. I placed my keys and bag in front of the entrance table and entered the hall. I inspected it but she wasn't there. God, she is scaring me now. Maybe, she is in her bedroom. I knocked but no response, so I opened the door and the view I saw made me shout at her with the top of my lungs.
" Pattyyyy." She jerked in her place, looking upwards from her popcorn bowel. She stood up in defence mode on her bed, clutching the remote of the TV, she removed her headphones slowly. Asking mercy with her eyes. She gulped visibly.
" sorry sorry sorry sorry." She chanted sorries in front of me, before I could scold her, with her fake doe eyes at me.
" You're scared." I yelled at her. She is grown ass women and still acting like a five year old.
" I know, I know. I promise, this will not happen again." She begged me to make her eyes smaller. This idiot needs to learn a lesson.
"Only if you will be making laundry next week." Her demeanor changed and she came down from bed and narrowed her eyes at me, holding her hands on her hips. I gave an innocent smile to her. She mocked me by wiggling her one eyebrow in the air.
" Ok" she agreed in a small angry tone.
" Go, get freshen up. I will reheat dinner." She ordered while rolling her eyes at me, making faces showing her disinterest in cleaning clothes. a chuckle released from me by witnessing her childish behavior. She is not only a friend but a family to me. I love her, who is in my life beside this child and that joker. She cooks for both of us, because I can't guarantee the kitchen if I enter it. Me and the kitchen don't go with each other, so basically I am banned from the kitchen but I like to experiment in it.
I returned to my bedroom, which has dark lavender and white themes. I freshened up and changed into comfortable clothing and went into the kitchen. I was Patty standing in front of the stove and flipping chicken. A smile formed on my lips as I saw her cooking chicken. Wow, she made chicken to make me happy.
"Someone is happy." She commented on my stretched smile at the chicken.
" Thanks." I jumped on the chair as it was impossible to wait for dinner. She laughed at my excitement because she knows how I enjoyed her cooking.
"How was your day? You are late by the way." She asked while taking a seat in her chair as she served for both of us.
"Nothing special, just like everyday." I replied while stuffing food in my mouth and waved with my hand. She chuckled at my answer.
" Is Theo giving you a lot of work?" She questioned me due to my late arrival a few days ago.
"Naa, I have decided to take a leave after our hiking plan." I confessed while shaking my head in a negative way. She arched her eyebrows indicating her surprise and asking me why?
"I am going to meet dad." As I completed my sentence, she banged her glass on the table loudly. I was prepared though. She had a habit of talking less with her mouth and more with objects surrounding her.
"You know what happened last time?" She yelled at me, with an angry voice and flaming eyes.
"He wasn't in rehab at that time, and that was an accident." I tried to defend him. He is trying to improve for me. Last time he accidentally pushed me and my head bumped on the corner of the table. She cares about me a lot but he is my father.
"It doesn't matter and that wasn't an accident." She argued in a bitter tone, shoving her plate far from her. She got up glaring at me.
"Patty, he is my father." I got up from the table and approached her, but she turned away from me.
"He promised me that he will leave his drug habits. He is willing to improve for me. Petty, and you know how much it matters to me." She turned to a saddened expression, she didn't look convinced at all.
"I know, he is never going to change like you. You can go on only one condition. I will be coming with you." At least Theo listens to me but petty, never did nor going to. She is so stubborn, and cares about like an elder sister. Always trying to fill the place of mom as my elder sister and I really appreciate that. I nodded my head to show my agreement to her condition. She relaxed a bit but her facial muscles were tense.
" Have you told Theo?" She asked again while taking a seat and indicating to me to do the same. I sat down on a chair and resumed my dinner.
" Yaa, I told him while coming tonight." I answered her and took a spoonful of chicken from the plate.
"And he agreed?" She was surprised by my answer. I chuckled at her. She shook her head for a second and she continued too. My chuckle gave her an answer and she continued her dinner too.
She had a theory that he has a crush on me. I don't think so, he was always a good friend to me and besides if had a crush on me, he should have confessed long before. It's been nearly four years we have known each other and I never witnessed anything like that kinda from him. Yaa, he is protective but not that kind. He is a very good friend and always remains. Theo and Patty are very close to my heart.
We both finished our dinner and we're watching Netflix and relaxing on the couch as we both had a tiring day. Patty is a journalist. She works with famous newspapers and writes articles for them. She also does field work a lot of times.
We both were distracted due to the ring of my phone. With irritation I picked up the phone and saw it's Theo calling me at this hour. I answered his call. I saw Patty was scrunching her nose because of phone , so I walked into the balcony which is connected to the main hall. We decorated it with fairy lights and made a small seating arrangement besides the plants for evening coffee. I was able to smell the fragrance of freshly watered plants mixed with the hint of Jasmine who blossomed newly just at the corner.
"Yes, Theo?" I answered his call. I was curious what he had to tell me? Maybe it's urgent.
"El? Have you complained about the CEO lately?" He questioned me in disbelief and the urgency in his voice was so evident.
"Yaaa, I had. Why?" I answered his question. What's wrong with it? He was at fault. I don't.
"Why haven't you told me before about it?" His questions made me confused. He was perplexed by the unknown situation.
"Theo? First calm down and I told you about this but you took it as a joke. What actually happened?" His reaction and tone of voice made me curious about it. There is something big about it.
"Chairman fired the CEO." I was beyond shocked by his news. He took my mail seriously and even took curial action against it. I never expected that to happen.
"fired? I thought, he -" I didn't have words to speak. He was cursing continuously at the situation.
"Means, is there seriously something wrong with the accounts?" He was shocked too and questioned me back in his preached voice.
" Ya, I discussed this matter with the CEO but he just waved at my questions and told me that it's nothing. I found lots of transactions which were never made and some transactions were totally unnecessarily done, like he was trying to shield something from people." He left speechless after my explanation, he didn't have any argument against mine. Both of us didn't speak for a moment to absorb everything and tried to compose ourselves.
" But why do you ask?" The main reason for the call was left behind in the background.
"New CEO is going to arrive in two days and the COO thinks that you should assist him with fixing that problem." His words left my mouth open. I was shocked to hear that.
"No, why don't you do that? I am not a secretary. I am an assistant manager, that's not my work." I defended my position. How can they just change my job description in a night?
"They already issued an order for you. You will receive them tomorrow. I think you don't have any options over this issue." His voice was conforming to the helplessness of ours in this situation. My plans? What about dad?
" I think we have to cancel our hiking trip. As I have to babysit the upcoming CEO." I mumbled to myself. I was sad that we couldn't go for a trip and he was laughing histrionically due to my choice of words.
" Yaa, I have to but I am happy that your visit to your dad is prolonged for an unknown time. There is always something good in every bad thing." He sounded happy with my changed job description. He hung up the call after that.
Well, the sudden change in my job description was totally unacceptable but I pulled it on my shoulder, so I have to bear it now. I don't have any option for that, I am totally stuck in this situation. Let's see what happens ahead.
