Chapter 93- Milkshake

Aaron Wentworth was on his way to his office after having lunch with his pregnant wife when he received a text from Tony.

Tony: [Celia and I are in Mafia trouble. Send help.]

He furrowed his eyebrows and clenched his fist as anger flared through him. He had been prepared for when Celia’s ex-husband would come back for her but he didn’t expect him to cause trouble.

After sending Graham a message, he instructed Enock, “Drive to the imperial cafe. Marco has come to cause trouble. Let’s go and deal with him.”

“Yes, Sir!” Enock replied and made a sharp U-turn.

When they got there, they found Tony being beaten black and blue while Celia cried and begged them to stop.

Anger flared through Aaron immediately. He rushed into the cafe without hesitating. How dare these men harm his people?

Luckily, Graham’s men arrived at the same time as him and followed behind him.

“What the hell are you doing in my territory?” Aaron thundered, the air around him turning frosty.

He glanced at the state his friend was in and his chest burned with fury.

“Marco, what gave you the right to hurt my friend? I didn’t even settle scores with you for hurting my sister…” Aaron continued in a low and dangerous voice.

Marco laughed and said, “Settle scores with me? You can’t do anything to me-”

“Well, I can’t. But they can,” Aaron replied with a smirk.

Suddenly the place was surrounded by the federal police that had been trying to find evidence of Marco’s criminal activities.

Marco’s eyes widened as he looked around. He could hear the sound of helicopters in the air and his heart dropped into the pits of his stomach.

He glanced at Aaron with fear and asked, “What did you

do?”

Chuckling darkly, Aaron presented, “When my sister returned, I began to investigate you and gather evidence about every crime you’ve committed. Murder, drug trafficking, firearms trafficking, sex trade… So many crimes that my sister was unaware of.”

As he listed Marco’s crimes, Celia’s face became as white as a ghost. She couldn’t believe her

She knew her Ex-husband did some illegal stuff but she didn’t think it was as bad as murder and drug trafficking. It felt like she had been living with a stranger for seven years.

At that moment, hatred brewed in her heart. Her marriage was a total sham.

The person she thought she knew was not what he portrayed himself to be.

Everything about him was a lie.

Once again, she realized how leaving had saved her the trouble and further heartbreak.

She moved close to Tony and cradled him. Her heart ached at the sight of his battered body.

Meanwhile, Marco was looking for a way to escape. He might have been a don but no one was above the law if evidence of their crimes were exposed.
