Aiden's POV
Nora took Sophie into her arms and walked out after mouthing something at Aria. Then Aria turned towards me and I sighed. All three eyes were watching me like hawks.
"Come on. Let's talk in my office." Ashton said and I followed them, as there was no way to escape them.
I sat on Ashton's chair and Kio sat on the couch on the side. Ashton and Aria sat on the chairs in front of me.
"Speak now, what are you waiting for?" Ashton asked me and I glared at him before he glared harder and I looked away.
"When Ashton ended the mafia, the people had no choice but to agree then, but they didn't want to end it all, because they had no other work to do. But they could not function without a leader, so they all voted and made Michael the interim. They went on for a month or so before they called me back to the mafia house and threatened me, all on Michael's instructions, that if I did not join the mafia again, they would destroy everything in our family and I had no choice but to join them again. But I somehow convinced the others that Michael did not have any good intentions behind this. And he was ki- removed from the mafia."
"Killed you mean?" Aria interrupted and I looked at her, biting my lip.
"So, after that the people needed me and I was there." I completed and looked at Ashton to see his jaw clenched. He got up from his seat and punched me in the jaw and I winced.
"Ash, stop." Aria held him back. I looked at him again, holding my almost dislocated jaw.
"Aiden don't you know there were reasons due to which I decided to end all this." He said, trying to hold his anger.
"I know, I know brother trust me, I didn't want to but I had no choice." I tried to reason.
"No, Aiden you had a choice, at least after you killed Michael. And even before, you could've told me something, why would I have not helped you?" He asked and I hung my head low.
"I was not in the right state of mind then." I tried to reason.
"Aiden, you know why I asked Ashton to end all this, it was because this is wrong, Even if you guys kill criminals, it makes you one too, it's wrong. You are no one to punish wrong people, that's what I told Ashton too and he did, you should realise this too and stop this, if you're worried about your people, you can train them in your company, get someone a job somewhere else, help them starting up some small scale on their own, there are many ways if you just think about it." Aria explained and I said nothing.
"No, he will not do anything now, I will meet the people tomorrow and do all what I can do, the mafia will end. I will see to it this time, I can't believe you lied to me Aiden. I'm disappointed." Ashton said and walked out.
"Aiden, don't worry okay, he did the mistake and you did it too, you will realise it too and he will forgive you, he's just mad because you repeated his mistake which he didn't want. Okay? So please go take rest. And until Ash takes care of everything, you're staying here." She said and was about to walk out but she turned around.
