Chapter 3

Penulis: Peachy
Killian followed my finger.

It was the filthy stain he and Tessa left on this bed last night.

But he didn't even blink. A casual smile formed on his lips.

"I came out of the shower to get a drink this morning and spilled some water." He put the tray down and sat on the edge of the bed.

Not a single trace of panic.

The same hands that had ruthlessly ravaged another woman's body last night now gently pressed against my lower stomach.

His warm palm slowly rubbed my old wound.

"Does it still hurt, baby?" He looked into my eyes, drowning in tenderness, as if I were his most precious treasure.

I stared dead at the man in front of me.

No guilt in his deep eyes. No hesitation.

How does he do it?

Like a split-personality psychopath.

Fucking another woman raw on this bed, then putting on a holy, devoted face to care for my pain.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." I lowered my eyes, forcing down the urge to vomit.

Killian kissed my forehead. "Good. Get dressed. I'm taking you somewhere."

Two hours later, the roar of a helicopter shattered the peace of the lakefront.

Killian held me as we stepped off the private chopper.

Tessa followed closely behind as his assistant.

The wind whipped up the sand.

Before us stood a top-tier casino right on a private beach. Dripping in gold and pure luxury.

Dozens of men in black suits were already waiting.

"Boss! Donna!" The men shouted in unison, bowing respectfully.

Killian gripped my waist tighter, pointed at the cash-cow casino, and announced to everyone.

"From today on, the Crown Casino belongs to the Donna!"

The men erupted in cheers and applause.

Killian leaned down to my ear, his voice low and sexy. "For you. Just because last year you casually mentioned the view here was pretty."

My heart dropped into an ice box.

How pathetic. How absurd.

He remembered a random comment I made a year ago.

Yet he could cheat on me for three months straight, treating his wedding vows like trash under his shoes.

Before I could snap out of this tearing irony, a sweating dealer scrambled over.

"Boss! Bad news!" The dealer dropped to his knees on the sand. "Roman's men... they took over the casino!"

Roman.

The head of the rival family. Killian's sworn enemy since childhood.

"Took it?" Killian's eyes instantly turned to ice.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Lazy clapping echoed from behind the casino's golden doors.

Biting a cigar, Roman swaggered out with a dozen heavily armed bodyguards.

"Killian, long time no see." Roman blew a smoke ring. He looked me up and down provocatively. "What? Trying to use my territory to impress your woman?"

Killian pulled me behind him instantly.

He drew his gun and cocked it.

The black muzzle aimed right at the center of Roman's forehead.

"Three blocks in the South Side for this casino. Hand it over."

"Keep your territory," Roman smiled arrogantly. "Save your breath. I'm not trading."

He walked down the steps. "Killian, you know I love taking your things. Your toys, your business. And of course... your women."

Bang!

Killian fired without hesitation!

The bullet grazed Roman's cheek and shattered the vase behind him.

"Roman, you have a death wish!"

"Don't be so rash." Roman waved his hand. "I'll give you a chance."

He took a revolver from his man, popped the cylinder open, and loaded a single bullet in front of everyone.

"Russian Roulette. You game?" Roman spun the cylinder. "If you live, the casino is yours."

"Boss, no!"

"You could die!"

"It's too dangerous!"

Killian's men yelled, trying to stop him, but he ignored them.

"Deal." Killian reached out and took the gun.

"No!" I finally yelled out.

Killian looked back at me, his eyes full of deep love. "Aria, nothing in this world matters more than you. I'd do anything for you."

    Aria's POVFor a whole week, Killian didn't show up.The hurricane passed. Manhattan returned to life.Every day, I got a text from an unknown number. All apologies from him.On the dawn of the eighth day, the final text came.[I will sign. Nyx, come to the underground private chapel in Manhattan one last time. Let me pray for your soul one last time.]If this was the final step for my freedom, I would play along.The underground chapel smelled heavily of gunpowder and old frankincense.Killian was already waiting.He was a walking skeleton, but his eyes held a terrifying, dead calm."Let's get this over with. I'm busy."Killian turned to face the altar at the end of the long aisle.Thud. He dropped heavily onto his knees on the hard stone floor.He didn't stand up. Slowly, agonizingly, he dragged himself forward on his knees, doing his bloody penance.The heavy thuds echoed.Blood quickly seeped through his suit, dragging a horrific red trail across the marble steps.He was already fa

    Aria's POVI let go of his soaked tie. Killian slumped against the wall.Disgusted, I pulled out a wet wipe, cleaned the fingers that touched his collar, and threw it at his feet."Get out of my sight." I turned and walked out of the cellar.Night fell.A Category 5 hurricane brought a massive storm. Long Island was completely locked down.Everyone was trapped inside the estate hotel.I walked to the front desk. "Extend my stay." I handed the manager my credit card.Right then, a pale, large hand reached out."Use mine." Killian's voice was terrifyingly hoarse. "Put all of Ms. Nyx's charges on my tab."I shot the manager a deadly glare. "Use my card. Now."Shaking, the manager quickly processed it.I took my card and walked straight to the elevator.Killian's limitless black card was left abandoned on the marble counter.Like a stubborn ghost, Killian followed me all the way to my room.The second I tried to shut the door, he shoved his hand into the frame.The heavy wood slammed into

    Aria's POV"I won't sign!" He stared at me, his eyes bleeding red from the fever and obsession. "As long as I don't sign, you are still my wife! Aria, I'll die before I let you go!""Wife?"I dropped my leg. I unzipped my bag and pulled out a cold metal tube.I slammed the micro-recorder right into Killian's chest.The pen bounced off him and hit the stone floor. The button clicked, and it started playing.In the dark, quiet cellar, a perfectly clear, filthy voice echoed."Boss... it's so hard... so deep... cum all inside me, please?"It was Tessa's greedy moans, mixed with the sickening slap of skin against skin.I knew that sound too well. I hid that bug in the sofa of his private office right before I left Chicago.Next on the tape, voices from the hallway outside his office played."Let the Boss blow off some steam," an old Capo scoffed. "That delicate Aria has been barren for five years. Tessa is carrying the future heir. We have to protect her. Don't let the Donna find out."Even

    Aria's POVWord on the street was that Killian went into sudden cardiac arrest and hit the ER the night I left.But I didn't care to watch the show. His cheap pity plays didn't make my heart skip a single beat.The next morning, I took my team and drove straight to a private estate in Long Island.That night, I sat alone behind a wooden screen at the outdoor lounge.On the other side, my young assistant was gossiping."Nyx, if your husband betrayed you, what would you do? Would you give him a second chance?"I swirled the ice in my glass, my eyes completely dead. "My ex-husband offered me half an empire to marry him, and he still cheated. Dirty is dirty. A second chance won't wash off his stench."Right then, a massive splash came from the deep end of the pool! Water shot ten feet in the air.I stood up slowly and walked around the screen.In the deep water, Killian was sinking in despair.He was in a thin black dress shirt. The fatal wound on his back was clearly still bleeding, turni

    Aria's POVThe bulletproof Maybach tore through the Manhattan night.Half an hour later, it pulled up to a hidden, ultra-luxury penthouse."Get out." He gripped my shoulder and forced me into the private elevator.The second the doors opened, I frowned deeply.Every piece of furniture, every rug, even the custom white tea scent in the air—it was an exact replica of our Chicago bedroom from five years ago.Killian dragged me toward the massive bed.With shaking hands, he pointed to a glass display on the nightstand.Inside were charred, blood-stained scraps of paper.The bloody love letters I had tossed into the fire pit before I left two years ago.He had dug them out of the ashes piece by piece and taped them together. Next to them lay our platinum wedding bands."Aria, look." The ruthless Don had tears bleeding from his eyes.Thud! He dropped hard onto both knees right in front of me!"I brought our home to New York. I found all our memories." He looked up, tears tracking down his ho

  • My New Face, the Don’s Lost Love   Chapter 13

    Aria's POVAfter getting discharged, Killian started groveling.He booked out New York's top Michelin-starred restaurant, claiming to treat me as a "friend.""Get him a bowl of plain oatmeal. Make everything else Mexican ghost pepper spicy." I tossed the menu down, ignoring the man across from me.His back wound wasn't even healed.The waiter brought out a table full of blood-red, intensely spicy dishes, trembling.I picked up my fork, cut into a dripping red taco, and took a bite without blinking."Aria! Don't eat that!" Killian lunged forward and pinned my wrist down. Pure terror and pain filled his eyes. "Are you crazy? You forgot your stomach condition? Even a drop of chili used to keep you up all night in pain!"His voice was shaking, as if he was the one drinking poison.I coldly shook his hand off."Pain?" I wiped my mouth with a napkin, sneering."I am afraid of pain. But I was more sick of eating your bland Italian food and Wagyu every single day. You think you know me? I was
