Caged, abused and tortured, Ariana's life had been a living hell until she was forced to spy on the most dangerous mafia in the whole world, La Cosa Nostra. Will her life take an unexpected turn or will the revelation of a catastrophic secret ruin h...
I heard those men pulling the trigger and aiming the gun at my direction and the next thing I remember was the sound of the gunshots.
My whole body froze and all of a sudden my vision went black as I felt someone pulling me!
Am I dead?
But, it didn't feel like I was because I felt no pain... Not even for a moment. I was extremely perplexed until my body started to recover from the state of shock and I realized that someone was covering my eyes with their palm and that handed me something. I tried to feel what it was because my eyes were covered and soon, I realized it was a hoodie.
Why would someone offer me a hoodie? And why was this person covering my eyes?
I had my questions unanswered. My confusion rose as I put on the hoodie... at least it was more comfortable than the clothes that were barely covering anything! But then, I felt him caging me between his arms. I clenched my fist against my chest as I felt my heart tighten within my chest and a lump forming on my throat as I understood who this 'someone' was. Those arms, I've been yearning to feel for the last six months held me tightly between them to keep me safe... My hand automatically went to hold his hand with which he was covering my eyes. My back was pressed against his chest and my head was on his shoulder as my muscles started to relax.

I felt his heart pounding inside his chest as I could hear and feel him fuming. Even his grip around me tightened. This made me realize how angry he was... I started to tremble a bit.
Was he mad at me because Jax and Max manipulated him or worse...? Was he about to kill me?
My limbs froze at the thought of it... The man I love hated me and was going to kill me because of some misunderstanding!
"Calm down, Ariana," he soothed, "You're safe... I'm here now."
I couldn't explain how relieved I felt... But, I couldn't speak. The lump on my throat was still there as my eyes turned teary. The moment I've craved for every day and night for the last dreadful six months is here. HE FINALLY CAME. But, my lips were unable to move... and form sentences. Every time I tried to say something, the results were futile. Moreover because his voice was cold and vexed. And suddenly, he held my arm and turned me around. My eyes moved to his eyes which were now red because of wrath. He was glaring at someone behind me and because he had been covering my eyes, I had no idea about whom did he shoot and who was he staring at. All I knew was that my eyes were watery after seeing him and feeling his presence so close to me. I missed him so damn much! But, he wasn't even looking at me. He was enraged and was glaring at someone behind me. His hands were on my back and he was holding me in such a way that I was unable to even turn around. He was so close to me and was holding me. This gave me a tingling sensation all over my body and I could feel butterflies in my stomach.
