There was a moment of silence, and then Ruby turned her attention back to the phone. "I'll talk to you later, Amelia. It seems Bella has something to say.""Extend my regards to Father and Liam," Amelia said before the call ended.In the Reyes household, Ruby turned to Bella. "What's the matter? Why were you staring at me like that?"Bella hesitated, her face pale. "Do we really need to make Amelia go that far? Have you thought about what would happen if Aiden or any of the Romanovs found out the truth about Amelia’s pregnancy?"Ruby's expression darkened. "Keep your mouth shut and only say positive things. If you have nothing useful to say, it's better you just stay silent. After all, you're no saint either."With that, Ruby turned away, leaving Bella standing there, trembling. Bella sank into a nearby sofa, sobbing uncontrollably as memories flooded her mind, memories of the one mistake that had haunted her for nearly two decades.---Bella was married to her college sweetheart, Tim

Chapter 84Bella looked up at him, her eyes filled with desperation. “What are we going to do?” Alex sighed, his mind racing. “It was wise that you came here, all you need to do is tell the cops you’ve been here since yesterday morning, they will figure that Tim was drunk and fell. We’ll make sure the scene looks like it was just a terrible accident. No one has to know the truth.” Bella nodded, her heart heavy with guilt and fear as tears rolled freely down her cheeks. “Thank you, Alex. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Alex hugged her tightly. “We’ll get through this, Bella. I promise.”"We can't let anyone know the truth," Alex said firmly. "We'll say he tripped and fell. It was an accident, Bella. You didn’t mean to hurt him."Bella nodded, her mind numb with grief and fear. Alex helped her cover up the incident, and it was officially reported as an accidental death. But the guilt never left Bella. It gnawed at her every day, a constant reminder of the night her life h

Amelia managed a weak smile through her pain. “Just stay with me. It’ll pass. I’m not going to die tonight,” she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.Aiden’s heart broke at the sight. He gently rubbed her swollen belly, trying to comfort her. He leaned in and kissed her stomach, whispering softly, “Don’t stress your mommy anymore. I’m here now. You can talk to me.”To Aiden’s surprise, Amelia suddenly stopped writhing. The pain seemed to subside, and she let out a small laugh at his words. But the laughter quickly turned into sobs, her shoulders shaking as she cried.Aiden climbed onto the bed beside her, wrapping his arms around her. “What’s the matter?” he asked gently.“You’re the matter,” Amelia replied through her tears. “You come here, acting all nice to the baby after neglecting us for weeks. Please, let me go back to my family’s house. There, I have my mother and others who genuinely care for me and the baby.”Aiden felt a pang of guilt. He gently wiped the tears from her ey

Silvana gasped and moaned, this time loudly, and Aiden knew what he had to do next. He positioned himself between her, ready to make her hit off the roof with her pleasure screams, but Silvana could not let him have all the fun alone.She tossed him over slowly, tracing his neck with her tongue until she got to his chest. She fiddled on his nipples, allowing his need grow. With her tongue, she drew imaginary circles around his navel until she got to the base of his erection.Aiden moaned deeply, his voice rich and inviting. Silvana traced every vein on his cock with a delicate attention that made Aiden moan more deeply. She finally wrapped her lips around his cock, sucking on him intentionally and hungrily.Aiden was sure to scream out of pleasure if he didn’t stop her now, but he could not let her go without exploring her warm pussy with his hungry dick.He tossed her over gently, positioned himself between her legs and guided his dick gently into her pussy. They both gasped and moa

Ashley’s face lit up with excitement. “Of course, I’ll be there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”“Thanks, Ash. You know how much Zia adores you.” Silvana paused, looking thoughtful. “Also, I promise I’m taking it easy. I know I’m pregnant now too, but I’m feeling much better.”Ashley laughed, a teasing glint in her eyes. “You better be careful, Mom.”Silvana laughed heartily. “Alright, Mother Hen. I’ll take care.”As they approached the car, Amelia happened to be passing by with her maid, having just taken a stroll. She overheard the conversation and froze, shocked to learn that Silvana was pregnant. The revelation hit her hard. She had been so consumed with her own issues that she had forgotten about Zia’s upcoming birthday. Her heart sank, but she masked her emotions as she approached the two women.“Good morning,” Amelia greeted, forcing a smile.“Morning, Amelia,” Silvana replied casually, not missing the brief flicker of something dark in Amelia’s eyes.Ashley offered a polite
The formidable Aiden Romanov Chapter 88
Aiden was at the office, buried in paperwork, when his phone buzzed. Seeing his grandfather’s name, he quickly answered. “Grandpa, good evening. How are you feeling tonight?”Lorenzo’s voice was calm but firm. “I am well Aiden, Mark has just been arrested. Carl found evidence linking him to the engineer who vanished after your parents’ crash.”Aiden’s heart raced. “What kind of evidence?”“Emails and financial transactions. It’s damning, Aiden. Mark was deeply involved, and we’re tightening security around him to ensure he can’t be silenced.”Aiden sank back into his chair, the weight of the news washing over him. “Thank you, Grandpa. This could be the breakthrough we’ve needed.”“It’s a step closer to justice, Aiden. We’re not there yet, but we’re on the right path.”After the call ended, Aiden sat in his chair, staring at the ceiling. Could this be the closure he had been seeking? The thought of finally understanding what had happened to his parents was overwhelming. He stood up and

“Yes daddy, you call me princess, that’s my other name, more like a nickname, I figured I should give mommy a nick name too!” She threw her hands in the air smiling.Everyone burst into laughter again.“Happy birthday darling, I trust you got my gift as well.” Lorenzo added, winking at his great-granddaughter.Zia looked at them, her eyes wide with gratitude. “Thank you all so much. I love all the dresses, and I can’t choose just one. So, I’ve decided that I’ll wear all three! I’ll change dresses during the day so everyone gets to see me in each one.”The adults laughed, impressed by her solution.“That’s a wonderful idea, Zia,” Silvana said, kissing her on the forehead. “You’ll look beautiful in each one.”“Indeed,” Lorenzo agreed. “You have a wise head on those young shoulders.”With the dress dilemma resolved, the family headed to the palace’s five-star diner for a special birthday breakfast in Zia’s honor. The diner was a grand room with crystal chandeliers, ornate ceilings, and l

Every guest that came to Zia’s birthday party was greeted warmly. Parents of Zia’s classmates mingled, exchanging pleasantries and watching their children enjoy the festivities. Aiden and Silvana made their way around the grand hall, thanking each parent and acquaintance for attending. “Thank you so much for coming,” Aiden said to a couple, shaking their hands. “Zia has been looking forward to this day for weeks.” “It’s our pleasure,” replied the father, smiling warmly. “Zia is a delightful child. Our daughter adores her.” Silvana smiled, her eyes glowing with maternal pride. “We’re so glad to hear that. Zia talks about her friends all the time.” After greeting everyone, Aiden led Silvana to a seat, sensing her need to rest. “Come, you’ve been on your feet all morning. Sit down for a bit.” Silvana sighed in relief as she sank into the chair. “Thank you, Aiden. I think I overestimated my stamina today.” Aiden chuckled, sitting next to her. “You deserve a break.” He signaled for

Aiden leaned over the table in the safehouse, his fingers tracing the map spread out before him. The docks, the industrial warehouses, and the surrounding areas were marked with pins and annotations. The intel about the upcoming shipment was either a trap or an opportunity. Either way, Aiden couldn’t ignore it. "Here’s the play," he began, his voice low but commanding. His team—James, Katarina, and the rest of the crew—listened intently. "We’ll let Orlov think we’re taking the bait. If it’s a real shipment, we hit it hard and cripple his supply chain. If it’s a trap, we spring it on our terms." Katarina crossed her arms, her expression skeptical. "And how do we ensure it doesn’t blow up in our faces? Orlov’s not stupid—he knows you’ll come for this." Aiden met her gaze, his voice steady. "That’s why we don’t go for the shipment directly. We use decoys. James, you and a small team will run a fake assault on the main route. Make it loud enough to draw their attention." James nod
Chapter 118
The command center hummed with quiet efficiency. Monitors displayed live feeds from across the city: surveillance cameras, drone footage, and intercepted communications. Orlov paced in front of the largest screen, his mind whirring with strategy. The explosion at the docks had sent a clear message, but it wasn’t enough. Aiden Romanov had survived worse, and Orlov knew his opponent well enough to anticipate retaliation. He turned to Viktor, who was reviewing the list of assets and potential targets. "We need to force Romanov into a position where he can’t think clearly. Fear, Viktor, is the greatest weapon. And Romanov’s greatest fear lies not in losing a fight but in losing the people he loves." Viktor hesitated. "You mean Silvana and the child?" Orlov’s smirk was cold. "Precisely. They are his Achilles’ heel. Romanov thrives on control, and nothing shatters control like the threat of harm to those he holds dear."He motioned for one of his tech operatives to step forward. The

The docks loomed ahead, shrouded in fog and silence. Aiden led his team through the maze of shipping containers, his senses heightened by the tension in the air. Every creak of the metal structures, every distant clang of a crane, felt amplified as if the night itself were holding its breath. “Comms check,” Aiden whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the distant waves. “All clear,” James responded, perched on a container with his laptop, hacking into the dock’s security feeds. “Moving into position,” Katarina added, her tone calm yet charged with anticipation. She was leading the diversion team to draw Orlov’s men away from the cargo ship. Aiden’s team consisted of himself, James, and Nikolai—though Aiden still harbored doubts about Nikolai’s loyalty. His gut told him to keep a close eye on the man, but for now, he needed every hand he could get. They reached the edge of the dock, where the cargo ship loomed like a dark behemoth. Its lights were dim, the shad

Aiden stood in the war room, a somber expression on his face as he traced his finger over a map of Orlov’s known operations. The team gathered around him, their wounds still fresh from the recent ambush. The air was thick with tension, but it was laced with determination. “We’ve been on the back foot for too long,” Aiden began, his voice steady but laced with anger. “Orlov thinks he’s outplayed us, but this time, we’re going to be the ones setting the trap.” James leaned forward, his laptop open. “We’ve mapped out his network,” he said, pulling up a web of interconnected nodes. “This command center he lured us to—it’s not his primary base. He has a second, more fortified location near the docks.” Katarina crossed her arms, her sharp eyes scanning the map. “So, we hit the docks? Or is that another trap?” Aiden shook his head. “If Orlov is there, we can’t wait for confirmation. We’ll need to move with precision, but not without a plan to cover every possibility. We’re done walki

Orlov paced the dimly lit chamber of his backup command center, the faint hum of machinery filling the air. His failure to trap Aiden at the warehouse had stung more than he was willing to admit. The man had always been resourceful, but this level of persistence, this sharpness, felt almost personal. His top lieutenant, Viktor, stood nearby, reviewing the aftermath reports. "They hit us hard, sir," Viktor said, his voice carefully measured. "We lost critical supplies and several high-ranking men. The team was swift and precise, like they knew our movements beforehand." Orlov's jaw tightened. "Of course, they knew," he muttered, his voice like venom. "Romanov has someone feeding him information. It's the only explanation." He slammed his fist onto the table, rattling the nearby monitors. "This ends now," he hissed. "Enough of these games. If Romanov wants to hunt me, I’ll make him regret it. We’ll hit him where it hurts most." Viktor hesitated. "What are you suggesting, sir?"
Chapter 114
Orlov was silent as he stared at the monitors in his command center. The live footage of the chaos caused by Aiden and his team flickered on the screens before him. His guards lay incapacitated, his carefully constructed defenses breached, and his lower-level systems compromised. The calm exterior he maintained belied the storm brewing beneath the surface.His lieutenant, Viktor, stood beside him, rigid and uneasy. “They’ve crippled our lockdown protocols,” Viktor said cautiously. “Our communications are exposed, and our tactical advantage has been diminished.”Orlov turned slowly, his cold eyes locking onto Viktor. “Diminished, but not lost,” he said, his voice icy yet calm. “Aiden Romanov and his merry band of fools have underestimated what happens when you provoke a wounded animal.”He leaned against the edge of the table, his fingers steepled in thought. The tension in the room was palpable as he calculated his next move. Then, with chilling resolve, he issued his commands.“Activ

The room was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the glowing screens of laptops and tablets spread across the table. Aiden leaned forward, studying the holographic blueprint of Orlov’s command center. The building was a fortress, surrounded by high walls, multiple guard posts, and an advanced surveillance system. “This is insane,” Silvana said, her voice heavy with concern. “There’s no way we can get in without setting off every alarm in the city.” “We’re not going in through the front door,” Aiden replied, his tone resolute. “Orlov’s security is focused on keeping threats out, but every system has a weak point. We just have to find it.” Katarina, seated to his left, pointed to the blueprint. “What about the ventilation shafts? They’re narrow, but they could provide a way in.” “Too risky,” James said, his voice crackling through the comms. “Orlov’s likely installed motion sensors and heat detectors in the vents. You’d be caught before you made it ten feet.” Aiden

The warehouse exploded in a fiery cascade, sending shockwaves through the surrounding industrial district. Aiden and his team were already several blocks away, hidden in the shadows of an abandoned alley. The force of the blast lit up the night sky, and the sound of sirens in the distance signaled the authorities were on their way. Aiden crouched behind a rusted dumpster, catching his breath. His heart pounded against his chest as he glanced at Silvana, who was busy wiping soot from her face. Katarina leaned against the wall, her expression grim, while Nikolai kept a wary eye on the road. “That was... louder than expected,” Silvana muttered, adjusting her comms. “It had to be,” Aiden replied, his voice steady but low. “We needed to send Orlov a message—and buy ourselves time.” Katarina let out a sharp breath, tossing her empty pistol magazine to the ground. “We sent a message, alright. But now Orlov knows we’re targeting his supply lines. He’ll retaliate, and it won’t be subtl
Chapter 111
Aiden paced back and forth in the dimly lit warehouse where Nikolai had parked the decoy truck. The air smelled of rust and oil, and the flickering fluorescent lights above cast long, restless shadows across the room. Silvana and Katarina stood nearby, sifting through the contents of the crates with grim determination. “This doesn’t add up,” Aiden muttered, running a hand through his hair. “Why would Orlov risk exposing these weapons just to throw us off? There has to be something we’re missing.” “He’s stalling us,” Katarina said, her voice sharp. She tapped the lid of one crate with the butt of her gun. “This whole thing is too clean. There’s no tracking, no additional intel—nothing that ties these weapons back to his bigger operations.” Silvana nodded, holding up what looked like a blueprint for the weapon designs. “These are prototypes. High-tech, yes, but not functional. Orlov’s pulling a bait-and-switch.” Nikolai, leaning against the truck, crossed his arms defensively. “
