"The fool has gone mad" Antonio remarked as he looked at Paolo. "So you planned with Yedam to kill Camilla?" Geremia asked. "Yes we did, he didn't like the treaty so it was easy to manipulate his anger and make him do our bidding" Paolo replied. "Why Camilla?" Dante asked as he tried to rein in his anger. "Paula wanted you back, but you were too obsessed with Camilla, I wanted her too. She was supposed to be mine until you swooped in and took her away from me at the auction" Paolo replied as he grinned provocatively at Dante. "The last time your family tried to harm Dante, I warned you that was the last chance, it's against our rules. I told you that if it happened again, y'all would be kicked out of the alliance and Dante would be free to do with you as he pleased and he would take over your family and all its properties and businesses. And now, you actually tried to harm him again. Dante, the ball is in your court, do with him as you please" Antonio said. He sat down and gave P
Geremia looked at Dante surprised at the question. He brought out his tablet and checked the records. "Yes, there is a call from the DeLuca house but it's categorized as an inconclusive call" Geremia reported. "play the recording" Dante told him. Geremia nodded and played the recording. "Hello, this is the Russo house, who is this?" "I… I am Vincent DeLuca, head of the DeLuca family, we are under attack" the voice of Camilla's father was panicked, Camilla stifled a sob on hearing his voice. "Okay, do you know your attackers?" "It's my deputy, Sebastiáno Caruso, he is trying to kill me to take over" "Okay sir, do you want our help?" "Yes….." he was interrupted and another voice came on. "I am really sorry about this, it's a prank call by one of our drunk men" the new voice said. "OK, keep a watchful eyes on your men, the Russo family does not tolerate prank calls" "I will, thank you once again" the voice replied and the recording ended. "That was Sebastiáno, he was the one
"What is the meaning of this?" he asked them. Carolina shivered in fear. "Daddy, what's going on?" she asked him. "I have no idea but don't worry they won't dare do anything to me" Sebastiáno replied as he stood up. He faced the men, "Whatever madness is going on in your head right now, I advice you to stop it, I am Sebastiáno Caruso, you won't hurt me and get away with it" he told the men. One of the men close to Sebastiáno, lifted his hand up and slapped him so hard that he fell back into his chair. "Daddy!" Carolina screamed as she got up from her chair so she could run to him. "Sit down" she was ordered by the men as a gun was pointed at her. "who ordered you to do this?" Sebastiáno asked. "I did" Camilla said as she walked in. "You bitch!" Sebastiáno cursed. "Hit him again" Camilla ordered the men. Sebastiáno was slapped hard again on his face."What do you think you are doing?" Sebastiáno asked. "Taking back what's mine, I warned you didn't I? I told you I will get m
THE NEXT DAYFiona, Ricciardo and Luciano came over to the DeLuca house. "Is it over?" Luciano asked Camilla. "Yes baby, it is. He is dead, he can never harm us again" Camilla assured him. "Did you kill him yourself?" Luciano asked. "Yes, I did. I shot him myself" Camilla replied. Luciano held her hands. "Are you okay Camilla?" he asked. "Yes, I am. Now you can go back to school and when you are old enough, you will take over as head of the family" Camilla told him as she ruffled his hair. "Don't you want to be the head?" Luciano asked her. "No, I don't want to be the head. I will be happy supporting you" she replied. "Will you go back to the Russo house?" he asked her. "I am not so sure Dante wants me there" Camilla replied. "its okay sis, we are here for you" Luciano told her. "Lucy! Will you give me a tour?" Ricciardo asked him. "Of course spitfire let's go" Luciano replied as he led Ricciardo on a tour of the house. Fiona approached Camilla. "You did well, your paren
"So does this mean you forgive me?" Camilla asked him. "Of course and do you forgive me for real this time?" he asked her in return. "I do, with all my heart" she replied. Dante smiled and kissed her back. There was a knock on the door, Valerie entered the study. He took one look at them in each other arms and shook his head. "I knew you two would get back together eventually" he said."You so didn't know that" Dante told him. "I did, you two are so disgustingly in love" Valerie replied. "Has Geremia already left?" Dante asked."Yes,he grumbled all the way to his car" Valerie replied. "Where did he go?" Camilla asked. "Oh! He went to Antonio's auction" Dante told her. "Oh! I sent Carolina, Sebastiáno's daughter to Antonio for the auction" Camilla said. "You didn't kill her?" Valerie asked. "No, my grudge was with her father, he was the one who murdered my father not her. Besides she loved mocking me about being sold, I thought it would be a good thing to sell her too. I will
"That's Dante right?, I am not hallucinating" Silvana asked Fiona. "if you are hallucinating, that means we are all hallucinating as well" Fiona replied. They watched as Dante and Camilla held hands and approached them. "Good morning all" Camilla said to them, a big beaming smile on her face. "Is this the friend you went to see?" Luciano asked. "Yes, this is him" Camilla replied. Dante released Camilla's hsnd and stretched his hand forward to Luciano for an handshake. "Hi, I am Dante Russo" he introduced himself. Luciano hesitantly took his hand. "I am pleased to meet you, are you really her friend?" he asked Dante. "I am not just her friend, I am also her fiancé" Dante replied. They all gasped in shock. "Fiancé?" Silvana asked. Camilla held up her hand to show off her ring. "So you are going to marry her?" Luciano asked. "Yes I am" Dante replied. "Are you going to hurt her again?" Luciano asked. "Lucy!" Camilla scolded him. "It's okay" Dante told Camilla. Then he turned
Geremia entered the house, the house was dark, where was Carolina? Had she escaped already? He asked himself. “Carolina” he called her name. There was no answer. He walked to the bedroom and he he saw that she was under the covers. “is there a reason why you couldn't answer me and why is this room so dark?” he asked as he opened the curtains. She still didn't answer him so he pulled the blanket off her. She was shivering on the bed and she looked like she was close to dying. Concern over rode his anger immediately. He entered the bed and helped her up, her body temperature was so hot. “You are burning up, how long have you been sick?” he asked her. “since….. since you left” she managed to reply. He went to the bathroom to get a water and a washcloth which he dabbed her with to bring the temperature down. “I am going to install a landline that you can call me with” he told her. After dabbing her body, he made her food so she could eat. He got some drugs from the medicine cabi
