Chapter 28 New Home

He started approaching the door, keeping his hand on my waist. The same air hostess was standing at the door, waiting for him to approach. She bowed when we both reached the entrance and said something in Italian to him with a cheeky smile. I should ask her how to greet in Italian as I know we are somewhere in Italy.

“How to say hello in Italian?” I asked her to turn back, leaving Arius a step ahead. His hand over me tightened when I turned. For a moment, I thought he was afraid to let me walk freely.

“appartengo a lui.”  Arius answered, pulling me again towards the door with him. I put my hand over his torso to push him, but pulled me in more than my chest was brushing his. Why did he need to answer on her behalf? I don’t even know if he answered correctly. She had a creased forehead after hearing his words.

What he said, appar-- tengo lui. Ya, something like that.

My mouth fell open as we descended the plane. The entire airport was surrounded by heavily armed men in black clothes, as he was some seriously important person who hired many bodyguards for any businessman.

His smirk took my attention, making me look up at him, then I got. I involuntarily held his arm in my both hands, watching this much security around and I jerked away from him, but he avoided putting his hand around my waist. I pushed him, creating a distance between us, but he wasn’t ready to calm down and pulled me again in front of all these men, making me embrace.

“Why is there so much security here?” I asked him, trying to suppress my amused tone as much as possible.

“Because we were coming.” He answered sensually, bending over my ear. I gasped as he licked my ear when he finished.

“What are you doing? Stay away?” I warned in his ear, pushing him a bit. He chuckled and straightened himself.

“And who are you? President of Italy?” I mocked, watching all the men holding machine guns in their hands. He broke into a second laugh but again held a serious look, holding an amused look.

“I thought you weren’t ready to come home, Arius.” Cheering sound of the young man took my attention from him. Maybe he was his younger brother. Both of them share few facial features as both have brown hairs with the same nose. They must be brothers. He looked to be in his early twenties, like me. He wore black ripped jeans and white t-shirt paired with a black leather jacket.

He approached Mr. Accardo with a bright smile but his stone face was only holding just a lifted corner. He also flashed his dazzling smile at me with a curt node and went directly to hug him tightly.

“Shut up, Marcello.” He waved in a boring tone. Marcello rolled his eyes and turned towards me, opening both arms in the air. As he took a step towards me, Mr. Accardo pulled me over his chest, wrapping his hand around me, making me yelp loudly.

Watching his behavior, Marcello started laughing histrionically, holding his hands over his stomach. I regained my balance and took a step away from him. Why does this man behave like a possessive brat? He is his brother. I glared at him, but he ignored me as it didn’t matter to him.

“appar-- tengo lui.” I greeted him and forwarded my hand to shake. Mr. Accardo smirked at my greeting, but Marcello had a wide eye and open mouth, but he shook his hand with a confused face. Maybe I have said it the wrong way.

“Sorry, I meant to say, Hello.” I correct myself. Realization flashed in his eyes as I corrected myself.

“Ohh, hiii. I am Marcello,his younger brother.” He introduced himself. He was suppressing his laugh for some reason.

“I am Elena Davis, Assistant Manager of Accardo Hotels.” I added further. He nodded, but had a little crease over his forehead. He jerked his head to Mr. Accardo in surprise.

I was about to ask him, but Mr. Accardo told him something in Italian while looking at me. Devil, he knew I don’t understand Italian at all. That’s why he chose to speak Italian. I narrowed my eyes at him, but it didn’t bother him at all.

“Let’s go towards the car. We are going home.” Marcello cheered, flashing a bright smile. He guided us towards the black car parked on the runway.

I hope my stay for a few days will go smoothly, but I don’t think so after being greeted by these men holding machine guns in their hands all the surrounding time. I feel like I am a prisoner. Don’t know what surprises life had held to bear me more.

Arius Accardo,

I couldn’t stop myself from touching her all the time as I found my Aria back in the form of my Elena. Weird calmness surrounded me. I knew she would never agree to come with me as she was unaware of her true identity, so I decided to drug her, even though Nicole forbade me to do so. He would never understand that crave of her in my soul I feel after finding out why I always felt her smell strangely familiar. I always felt divided between Aria and Elena, but now I was complete as I found my snowflake. My Aria was with me this entire time, but I wasn’t able to recognize her and not able to if I hadn’t seen that tattoo from her back of neck.

I was furious and broke everything in front of me when I realized I endangered her life by pushing her in front of Salvatore; he found his correct target because of me; she was on their hit list because of me but I calmed down as one of her bodyguards reported me. She was running towards the office with a worried face after she got one call during her lunch and she entered the office full of concern for me; I made her drink her drugged tea and, as expected, she fell asleep in my arms within two minutes. I carried her in my jet and changed her as I thought she would get uncomfortable and sleep hugging her as I didn’t want to stop touching her, kissing her at all. This closeness with her makes me feel one with her soul.

As I already knew, she won’t be like this way of keeping her with me, she pleaded, requested and did everything she could do to convince me but i could see, she knew in the deep corner of her heart that I am going to let her go at any cost, I can’t, I can’t afford that, I won’t able to bear that. She had to go through a nightmare because she triggered my volcanic anger but still made me realize I am not any monster, otherwise I won’t be able to face her or me. Her every touch over my body was soft and clear, as she wanted to make sure that she was here for me.

Her mouth and eyes never talk the same. The way of her reconciliation made me feel closer than ever. She erased that hidden insecurity about she was going to hate me for a lifetime by forcing her to come with me. She assured me regardless, however she acted her heart, always going to chant my name only. I could feel she doesn’t need to tell me that, but she needs to understand that I don’t know how to love, which she is expecting from me to.

I am not that same Arius who used to feed her favorite strawberries and play hide and seek with her when she was five. I have changed a lot after that incident, the eclipse from our lives which made me think she was dead. Now, time had come to redefine that history to make him suffer for that incident and for every second which kept us apart this entire time.

I never felt so fortunate before than this, as I found an additional reason to fight for and live once again. I watched her sleeping over my chest; she was tired, a lot from our fight. How peaceful it is to watch her sleep, especially in that state, totally naked filled with me. I know the way I am doing these things may hurt her, but the only reason for doing them will be here.

The sadness in her eyes when she found out she is in jet and her days of her freedom ended already made me want her to tell her, her past and reason for my doing this but I also believe she will be happier than Elena than being Aria with a dark past of her. My Snowflake isn’t raised as a mafia princess trained and experienced with guns and everything she should. It will be difficult for her to understand or even accept her past. It’s better if she left unaware of it, it will become easier for her to go through in this rough life.

I caressed her back of neck where her tattoo lies, her dad must have tattooed her as per tradition. He chose me for her. That’s why he tattooed double letter A with a crown. Arius Accardo, she carries my name with her all places, as I realized that my lip was lifted upwards wanting to smile for my Snowflake. Nothing is better than to watch her sleeping peacefully over me in this condition, so close, connected to me.
