It was around 9 o'clock in the morning, when Fuoco woke up. The first thing that came to her mind after she wokeup was, the kiss that took place between her and Zieve.
Yes! Now, she knew that her Mr. stranger was none other than her childhood bestfriend Zie!..... Zieve Stocks..... heir of Stocks group of Companies!It was such a big revelation for her that it shook her to the core. It took a hit on her emotions and she remembered crying like a baby in Zieve's arms. She went through a lot of emotions in a precise span of time and for a few minutes she felt as if she was home. Zieve was the only person in the whole world, whom she needed by her side. He was the one, whom she longed to meet everyday after she woke up. The only thing that she had craved for after she woke up from her deep sleep, apart from taking revenge for her Family..... was meeting Zieve Stocks. She wanted to find her bestfriend and then fight with him for leaving her alone. She was angry that he left herWhen Fuoco was thinking about all these things, she subconsciously went in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was beautiful and resembled her parents in many aspects. She never paid attention to beauty, as it always came secondary to her. The thing that always mattered to her was the intrinsic value of a person and this was what made her develop feelings for Mr. stranger who turned out to be her childhood bestfriend. He had been protecting her but never made her feel that he was doing a favour to her. He had always treated her equal despite being the fact that she was the only girl in his club. He was very honest, kind and down to earth. Despite being the owner of such a big empire, he is working as a normal employee and is always by his teammates's side whenever they need him. She had been experiencing different emotions after she met Zieve, and now, when she finally knows his identity, she finally understood why she was always drawn towards him. It
Nick saw Fuoco walking towards Zieve's room. She was looking here and there, again and again to make sure that there was no one around to track her movement and question her activity. She was very catious but she failed to notice Nick. Nick was also surprised seeing her acting so shady. It looked like as if she wanted to sneak into Zieve's room without anybody seeing her doing that. Although, it was a very unsettling kind of behaviour from her side and he failed to guess the reason for doing so, but seeing her he was sure something happened between Zieve and her, the previous night. If he hadn't been aware of the fact that Fuoco was their Natalie, he would have begin to doubt her intentions by now. He had already calculated that by now, their was a fair chance that Fuoco had known about Zieve's real identity. If she was pretending about her memory loss, it would be easier to catch her lies and force her to reveal the truth. That's why, this idea came in his mind to overwhelm h
Nick smirked and placed both of his hands on her shoulder's, as if he was keeping her from running away. Fuoco looked at him with a puzzled look, as she was not being able to understand his actions. Nick saw this confusion on her face and smiled. He said," Don't worry....... your secret is safe with me!" and.....saying so...... he winked at her.Fuoco could not understand what he meant by it, but she turned red thinking about the fact that she was caught by him while trying to sneak into Zieve's room. She felt that Nick must have been able to see through her and must have guessed everything. Only Nick could have known about the possibility of something happening between the two of them, because only he knew that they were together last night........ and the state in which Zieve was.....it was enough to give him a chance to make one plus one eleven! She was so shocked and petrified by this sudden attack of Nick, but still she was not ready to surrender, she was not the one to gi
Nick waited for Fuoco to speak but when she didn't, he let out a sigh in disappointment. Fuoco on the other hand was perplexed by the series of events that took place with her. She was not being able to come up with suitable words in response to Nick's questions. Nick had caught Fuoco's lie regarding her memory loss and now, he wanted an explanation from her. After a few minutes of silence, Nick decided to take the lead and asked her," So, you never lost your memory? Were you pretending from the beginning or you recovered your memory recently? Please! I want to hear only truth!"Fuoco heard Nick's questions and seeing no other alternative left for herself, she decided to give out the truth. She replied and questioned Nick,"Okay! fine! I was pretending from the beginning! So, what? What would it change?"Nick was left stunned by her words! Now, it was his time to go speechless. She was right. What would it change? It won't bring her family back and make them alive! Sh
Nick looked at Fuoco with a sympathetic look. He knew what she was going through and despite all of it, she was standing strong, not giving up!He asked Fuoco," Okay! Fine! Just tell me..... were you pretending from the beginning or just recovered your memory?"Fuoco had also calmed down by now and she replied in a calm tone," When i woke up! i knew whom i was.... i never lost my memory! But! I was scared! The condition in which i woke up was just like sleeping on a regular day and then waking up to find your worst nightmare have turned out to be true!"Suddenly, her emotions begin to show and tears started forming in the corner of her eyes. Nick was expecting her to cry but she didn't. On the contrary, she clenched her teeth and forced her tears to go back. She didn't allowed a single drop of tear to fall from her eyes.This made Nick worried about her, because she was suppressing her emotions, her pain which was not good. It would work against herself. He
(((((((FUOCO) NATALIE's POV))))))))I could not believe my ears when Nick told me what happened with Zieve after he received the news of my death. I was filled with mixed emotions! It was a difficult moment for me. I was not being able to process this information! I was not being able to decide whether i should feel happy about it, or worry about it or feel sad for Zieve thinking about what he had gone through in the past seven years because of me. I used to think that there was noone left in the world, who would care about me or least remember me, because for the world i was a dead person and who cares about the dead?But, Zieve was different! He had always been different since childhood, be it his behaviour or his warmth. After he entered my life, i wanted to be with him always and never wanted to part ways with him. He always had a caring nature towards me but it was me who couldn't identify his feelings. I never thought that he would be so deeply in love with
After Nick received a phonecall from Zieve, he asked Fuoco to come along, as it was something urgent or else Zieve wouldn't have sounded like the way he did. Fuoco had a lot of questions to ask from Nick and same was the case with Nick. There was a lot to ask and discuss but keeping in mind the need of the hour, both of them decided to leave this matter for later on. There was a lot of information that Fuoco didn't knew about, and Nick was doubtful if he should share it with her or not. Fuoco also had her doubts regarding Nick but both of them knew that they could trust each other. Fuoco requested Nick to keep her secret safe until she is ready to reveal it to Zieve by herself. She said that she won't be able to handle the sudden attention and affection she would receive from his side. She wanted to hide her identity for sometime, atleast until she digest and accept the truth that she got to know, today.Nick was already in a dilemma as he was hiding her truth from
Zieve controlled his thoughts and looked away from her. He wanted to hate her, punish her and confront her regarding her actions last night. He was angry with her but he was more angry with himself that he let these things happen to him.He wasn't careful and maybe that's why he had been trying from past four years and still reached nowhere in his efforts to nab Samrat family's culprits. Zieve had feelings for Fuoco but he was thinking that it was just a physical attraction not true feelings, and by accepting these feelings he would cheat and insult the memories of Natalie. He would insult his love for her. That's why, he was in a state of conflict between his heart and his mind. His mind was telling him that he was doing wrong while his heart wanted to be around Fuoco, because she was just like his Natalie, as if Natalie has come alive for him.Zieve didn't kn
Stephen was clearly harbouring ill intentions towards Fuoco and now, he was showing it without fear. She was his hostage, now. There was no need for him to pretend to be a decent guy in front of Fuoco to impress her. As his truth was already out in front of her, he knew he had nothing to loose. He had been dreaming of having her since the day he saw her for the first time but he had to keep his feelings hidden because of Zieve and Nick. He was on cloud nine after kidnapping them and sending them there because he was dreaming of persuing Fuoco without any disturbance from the two of them. That's why, he was very happy when she approached him in the morning and he didn't suspect any of her moves. Little did he knew that Fuoco was much more than he expected. She acted as if she was just a showpiece and didn't possessed real knowledge. She hid her fighting skills so well and made him believe that she was no threat to him that's why he was angry and taken aback, when he saw her fighting wi
Fuoco's eyes become red with anger and she was looking at Stephen as if she would swallow him. She was not going to tolerate his insolence. She was waiting for one wrong move by him and that would be enough to take things under her control. Until then, she had to bear everything and keep her anger under control. Her face had also turned red because of anger and Stephen chuckled looking at how angry she was. He moved a bit closer and begin to move his gun that he had pointed at her head to her face. The Muzzle of his gun was sending chills through her body from where it was touching her soft skin. He moved it from her forehead to her cheeks and then.... touched her lips with it. Her plum red lips were looking very inviting to him and he was looking at them like a hungry wolf. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he could be seen trying his best to control himself. He teased her lips with the muzzle of his gun and Fuoco clenched her fingers so hard that her nails begin to dig into h
Fuoco was ignoring Stephen's eyes but she could feel his eyes traveling her body, which was making her blood boil. She controlled her anger but Stephen was not going to stop there. He begin to come closer and Fuoco begin to step backward. But, after two steps she could not move further as there was a wall behind her. She stood at her place and begin to wait for Stephen's next move. Stephen stopped just a few inches away from her. She could even feel his breath on herself. She clenched her hands into fists in anger but Stephen was still pointing the gun on her head, so, she couldn't act rashly. Soon, Stephen raised his hand and begin to move it towards her face. Fuoco turned red with anger."What are you doing?" she growled as Stephen reached out to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. She was taken aback. She was wondering what was going on in his evil head. Inside that room which was next to where Fuoco and Stephen were standing, Zieve's patience was giving off. He was thinking of break
Stephen ignored her demeanour and the look she was giving him while crushing those gadgets. Fuoco's eyes were clearly filled with the intent to kill. Once, she was done Stephen told her to go back to her place and stand with her hands up behind her head. Fuoco did as was told and went back to her place. She begin to wait for his next instruction but it never came. Instead, he kept standing in front of her with a gun in his hand pointed towards her. Stephen smirked when he saw Fuoco obeying his instructions obediently. He was staring at her and his eyes kept traveling from her head to her body till her toe. Lust was clearly visible in his eyes and he looked divided as if he was not being able to decide what he should do. Fuoco could feel goosebumps as Stephen's eyes travelled and scanned every inch of her body. She could feel him scanning her but she didn't looked back at him. She ignored him as if his presence was nothing to her. She was just thinking about how to snatch the gun from
Stephen and Fuoco were standing facing each other. Fuoco could now see his face clearly and confirm that he was Stephen. He stood in front of her with a gun at her forehead at a distance of point zero. She stopped in her tracks and stood at her place motionless. Stephen smirked wickedly at her reaction and begin to come closer. He stopped when his gun touched her forehead. Fuoco could feel the cold metal and an electricity ran through her body. Her sixth sense told her that this man was not going to be an easy one to tackle. She had no fear of her own life but it was just not her but her friends were there too whose lives she couldn't put at risk, so, she decided to play along. Stephen commanded her to raise her hands in the air. Fuoco did as was told and showed him her hands to confirm him that there wasn't any weapon with her that she was hiding. Stephen asked her to take off her jacket and put it aside. Fuoco was taken aback by this command but she didn't had any option other than
"You hid yourself so well... didn't you?" said that man in a familiar voice. Fuoco stopped struggling for a moment and tried to look back at that man but he tightened his hold on her neck to stop her from turning back to look at him. Fuoco begin to struggle as soon as his grip on her neck tightened because she was feeling difficulty in breathing. She was even trying to speak something but was not being able to because of the choking. Fuoco was very much capable of freeing herself but she wanted to play along as it was not her life alone but her friends lives too were at stake. Although, that man loosened his grip a little as soon as he saw her struggle for breathing. Fuoco begin to cough vigorously as soon as the grip around her neck was loosened. After a while, when her breathing returned to normal she spoke," What do you think i hid about myself, Mr. Stephen?" After listening to Fuoco's words, a wicked smile appeared on Stephen's face. Fuoco had recognised him by his voice, despite
Fuoco was held by someone from behind and a gun was placed against her forehead. Her sixth sense was telling her that someone was behind her but when she had looked back at that time she found no one. She decided to go and check it later after tying that man she had knocked unconscious and that was where she made the biggest mistake she shouldn't have done. If she had left that work in the middle and had gone to look around to check if her doubt was correct or not, it would not have happened. Now, she stood there feeling helpless because her one wrong move would have put her live as well as the lives of her friends in danger. She decided to stay calm and wait for the right opportunity to attack this unknown person and free herself. The way she was grabbed from behind and the amount of force that was used to do so, Fuoco guessed that this person who was helding her was a man and he was a little taller than her. She begin to wait for that person to speak so that she could identify, who
As soon as Fuoco realised that there was a possibility of involvement of any of those three old groups that his uncle had mentioned and she had forgotten about them, she decided to use this man fighting with her as the source of information to reach those masters behind him. She had by far identified the fighting techniques he was using and she was trained to tackle as well as defeat such an opponent by her Uncle Shera. So, without wasting much time she dodged his attack and did an overhead flip to jump towards his backside. Now, she was facing his back and before he could turn towards her or anticipate her next move, she used both of her hands to attack him. She aimed towards the right side of his neck and with her one hand attacked it with lightening speed while used her another hand to attack one specific place on her lower back. She had attacked specific points of his body with a specific goal in mind- to make him loose his consciousness. Her attack was so swift that the man in bl
Fuoco had recognised the fighting style of that man in black. Both of them were giving a tough fight to each other and now, that man had begin to slow down because he had used a lot of his energy. He had therefore received minor injuries following Fuoco's attack on him that he couldn't dodge timely. He was feeling weaker while Fuoco on the other hand didn't looked tired at all and this was because of her regular training and healthy diet. She was trained to keep fighting for long hours, without getting tired, by using moves that saved a lot of her energy. Her training was monitored by both her father and Uncle Shera since she begin training as a child. Luckily, despite being in coma for seven long years her body hadn't forgotten any of the training she received in her childhood before that uneventful night. As a result, she was able to make a come back in such a short span of time. Fuoco didn't seemed even a bit of flustered and was looking cool as if it was a game of children for he
