Caterina Marino, the daughter of the great doctor Dante Morano, grew up in La Vendetta, the largest mafia group in Mexico. Following in her father's footsteps, she also became the chosen doctor who was given the task of treating every mafia member injured on the battlefield. Caterine loved mafia leader Leonardo Bianchi, but her love was unrequited. Leonardo disliked her and was often rude to her. All the attention she gives him is considered very annoying by Leonardo, so he often says harsh words. Dante advises his daughter to stop bothering Leonardo if she doesn't want her life to be difficult. The love she has been giving is considered a burden and a shame. Caterine felt hurt, so she decided to leave La Vendetta and go to the city to work in a hospital. Since Caterine left, Leonardo was lonely and missed her terribly and forced her to return. Caterine refused, because she had fallen in love with Gabriel Russo, who was her coworker at the hospital. Which turns out Gabriel is also favored by Rossie, who is the sister of Leonardo's biggest enemy. Until suddenly Caterine disappeared without a trace. Everyone was very panicked, and finally Leonardo realized that he had fallen in love with Caterine. “Just kill me; Leonardo won't care. I'm not important to him; my death won't mean anything.” “It's a pity if you have to die now. Be my pet; I'll let you live until I get bored.”
View More“Sir, Kate's have been found. She works at a hospital in Puerto Vallarta.” A man informed Leo as he handed over several photos showing Kate treating patients in the emergency department.
Leonardo Bianchi was his name. A leader of the biggest mafia organization in Mexico. He was very handsome; the lines of his face were so firm, and he had such a sharp and deadly look in his eyes.
“Prepare the car; we're going there now!” Leonardo gave the order. He squeezed the photo sheet very hard. His jaw hardened; his breathing sounded heavy.
It had been six months since Kate had left the base. He couldn't wait to see her again. Six months was not a short time to endure longing.
Leonardo rose to his feet as the car was prepared. Together with some of his men, they sped off to the neighboring town where Kate was known to be working.
Some of the cars stopped and parked haphazardly when they arrived at their destination. Their aura was dominating, especially Leonardo, who looked so scary.
People ran when they saw Leonardo and his men entering the hospital with guns. La Vendetta was so famous in Mexico, Leonardo's face was recognized as the most ruthless and unforgiving mafia lead. Of course they were terrified when they saw him.
“What's going on? Why is there such a commotion out there?” Caterina, who was working, looked confused. Her brow furrowed as she looked at her coworkers.
“Maybe there's a new emergency patient coming in.” Gabriel tried to think positively.
“Argh!” Gunshots rang out, accompanied by screams.
The commotion was getting worse. People were running around; even patients were being left behind. Chaos could no longer be avoided. No one dared to fight back, nor did anyone dare to call the police. Because everyone also knew that the police were also under La Vendetta's power. All they could do was avoid getting into trouble.
“You take care of all the patients; I have things to do.” Caterina said. Her tone sounded emphasized. She took off her mask and gloves. She went to the toilet to take out the gun she kept under her work clothes.
Caterine assembled the gun quickly. In the back of her shoe, she loaded the gun to the brim, taking off her work clothes to make it easier for her to move around.
The dark-haired woman sneaked around, hiding from room to room. She was about to shoot when she was in the right spot, but her action was halted when she saw Leonardo. Her intention to attack was aborted; she turned around and hid. This time all she wanted to do was avoid her former coworker.
Leonardo was once the man Caterine loved the most; until now, that feeling has never ended. She loved Leonardo to death, until her feelings put her in such a difficult situation. Leonardo hated her, so she had to leave for her own safety.
“Kate, how long do you have to hide? I know you're there. Come out quickly before I destroy this hospital.” Leonardo said sharply; he gave a threat.
Caterina remained hidden where she stood. She didn't want to take any chances. Her father had told her that she must continue to avoid Leonardo if she didn't want to die.
“Kate! I don't mince my words! If you don't appear before me, I'll finish off the patients here!” Leonardo continued to threaten. He knew Caterina's soft heart, so he knew she would show up if he threatened her with the lives of others.
Caterina sighed harshly. She had no choice but to go out and meet Leonardo.
“What do you want?” Caterina asked sharply.
Leonardo stared for a few moments. In the six months they had not seen each other, Caterina had already changed a lot. She looked more beautiful and attractive.
“You asked me to leave; I've left according to your will. I don't think we have any relationship anymore.”
Leonardo did not answer Caterina's words. It was indeed he who had kicked Caterina out of the headquarters because he felt so disturbed by all the love and attention Caterina gave him. He felt ashamed of being loved by that woman. He felt his pride was being trampled on because Caterina liked him. Only he could decide which woman could love him.
However, in reality, he missed Caterina after he sent her away. Every second he spent was lonely and boring without Caterina by his side. He was used to being disturbed; he was used to all the attention Caterina gave him. When suddenly all those habits disappeared, he started to want her.
“You made the mistake of leaking classified information to the enemy, so you should be punished.” Leonardo made excuses, as he was too proud to admit his feelings.
“I never did that. I left La Vendetta and no longer have anything to do with it. I never looked into the organization's activities, nor did I ever meet your enemy.” Caterina defended herself.
“Take her away!” Leonardo gave orders to his men. He didn't want to spend time arguing.
The two burly men grabbed Caterina's arms; they dragged her slightly roughly out of the hospital.
“Let me go; I'm innocent!” Caterina rebelled; she tried to break free from the two men's grip. However, her strength was not strong enough. The more she rebelled, the stronger their grip became.
“Let me go!” Caterina's screams grew stronger. She didn't know what Leonardo would do to her if she was taken back to headquarters. Moreover, Leonardo said the word punishment. All she could think of now was death.
“Stop it!” Gabriel ran after he heard Caterina's shout. Six months of living together, they already had a tight bond.
“Where are you taking her?” Gabriel looked so worried.
“That's none of your business!” Leonardo said coldly.
“Of course it's my business. Kate is my girlfriend.”
This morning the air felt colder than usual. Caterina put a thick jacket on Shopia's body. While in the distance, Luka came with several cups of hot coffee."For you." Luka handed the coffee cups to Leonardo and Alex.Leonardo accepted the coffee with a smile, while the corner of his eye looked at Caterina, who was busy with Shopia. He was happy to see Caterina happy. However, his heart sank when he realized that Caterina's happiness was not him. He had to let the woman he loved live with another man.Sophia turned to look at Leonardo. He smiled broadly and waved goodbye. The only reason Caterina and Luka met Leonardo this morning was because Shopia was related to him. Sophia should at least recognize her uncle.Leonardo waved back at the little girl. Just like Alex said, Leonardo has changed a lot from before.Caterina led Shopia towards the group of men."Honey, give the gift to Uncle Leo." Caterina said softly.Sophia nodded.Leonardo stared at Caterina without blinking. After six
"Kate, I want to talk seriously." Alex said with a serious look on his face. He rarely acted like this. If he said something serious, it meant it was serious."Honey, you go to your room first." Caterina said very softly.Shopia, who was lying on Caterina's thigh, got up and went to her room. That child was really very obedient."What do you want to talk about?" Caterina looked up, looking at the man with a questioning look."Leo will be out of prison tomorrow morning." The man gave information. It wasn't that he wanted to scare Caterina, but he had something else to say."You can rest assured, Kate will be safe as long as I'm with her. There's nothing to be afraid of; he already has a criminal history. If he does the same thing a second time, the punishment will be more severe than before." Luka said firmly. It was as if he was emphasizing that no one could hurt Caterina as long as he existed. Even if that person was Leonardo.This was the sixth month of their marriage, just as Leona
Caterina stood in front of the mirror. She looked at her reflection there. The beautiful face looked even more beautiful after being polished with makeup. She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. She tried to convince herself that this was the right move. She did not want to regret her decision to marry Luka. Here she had found so much love. This was the place where she could get what she wanted.There was a knock on the door from outside.Caterina invited him to enter. Dante stepped inside with tears in his eyes. He was touched when he saw his daughter in a wedding dress. He could finally see Caterina get married.As they had hoped, the world Luka offered was far from the hustle and bustle of crime. There were no enemies, no gunshots, no danger lurking every time they left the house.It was the kind of peaceful life that Dante and Caterina had always wanted. They had intended to escape to Sydney and start a new life in the city. However, they never imagined that they would mee
Leonardo looked at Dante very seriously. His eyes showed as if he was asking what was wrong. He wanted to know what Caterina thought of him."She doesn't hate you like you think. Kate is very forgiving." Dante said with affirmation.Leonardo was silent. In fact, even though Caterina had forgiven him, he still had no chance to get back Caterina's heart. His love story had ended there."Her wedding to Luka is in a fortnight. Come if you can." Dante informed.It seemed that the man's affection for Leonardo ran deep. Of course he did. He had taken care of the man since he was a baby until he grew up like this. The time he spent with Leonardo was far more than the time he had spent with his own daughter. Naturally, he felt that his bond with Leonardo could not be broken. Moreover, Leonardo has realized and regretted everything he has ever done."I'm not sure I can attend her wedding. I can't bear to see her married to another man." Leonardo said with a trembling voice. His eyes looked tear
The party finished just before 1am. Caterina felt very tired and sleepy. She was used to staying up late and sleeping early in the morning; it was just that she was not used to the crowded atmosphere and formal events like this. Interacting with so many people made her feel very tired. Her energy was drained very much. At this rate, she would need a few days of rest to fully recharge his energy."I'm sorry you had to keep me company until midnight." Luka felt guilty. He felt bad. He remembered when Leonardo had brought Caterina to an important event and asked her to go home first because Caterina felt uncomfortable. However, he could not do what Leonardo did, because Caterina was one of the important people in this event. It would not be good for her to leave the party in the middle of it.Caterina smiled broadly. It seemed that she had to get used to it. Because, in the future, she will attend more often in this way."It is I who apologizes for not being able to accompany you to the
"You go in first; I want to see my father first." Luka said as they arrived at an upscale hotel tonight. As Adam had said last week, tonight he would be holding an official party to announce the company's new leader, as well as to tell the public that Caterina was Luka's future wife.There will be a lot of media coming to broadcast the news. Caterina's name will become famous after this. She will be the daughter-in-law of the richest man in Sydney. Her profile and background will be explored by many people. If they knew that Caterina came from the dark world of the mafia, they would probably look down on her. She would be labeled as a bad person.Caterina nodded gently, she released her embrace on Luka's arm, and let him leave.Caterina didn't really like parties and crowds like this, so she felt very uncomfortable. She stepped very clumsily into the building where the party would be held.However, Caterina's steps were halted as the doorman stopped her. They asked her to show her inv
"Daddy is home." Caterina told Shopia that Luka had arrived at the villa. They started to get ready for the surprise. Caterina brought a big cake, while Shopia brought a small cake because she was not strong enough to carry a big cake.Today was Luka's 34th birthday. Caterina and the others had prepared a small party at home. They were celebrating with family only. No invitations, no friends. There were Alex and Dante, who joined in the festivities. Adam had only been notified a few minutes ago.They stood at the door. Waiting with their hearts racing. This was the first time Caterina had celebrated a birthday for Luka. She didn't know how he would respond. She didn't want to expect more, because she had been disappointed so many times. When she celebrated Leonardo's birthday, he didn't want to look at her at all. Let alone accepting her gift, he even threw the cake that Caterina offered.Having been hurt too many times, Catarina no longer had high hopes. Even though she knew the woun
"Why are you here?" Adam looked at his son with a probing look."Where else am I supposed to be? I need to go to the office to check my work after my two-week. There are a lot of files that I need to go through and sign off on. There's already a lot of cooperation pending. It's time for me to get back to work." Luka answered honestly."The work can be taken care of by others. There are many people who can be entrusted to take care of everything. You shouldn't have left Kate. She's still recovering." Adam seemed very concerned. Even now he was starting to be overprotective of his future daughter-in-law.Luka smiled a little. He hadn't expected that to be the reason his father had asked him about why he was at the office this morning. He thought it was something else; it was because he left Caterina for work."She's fine. She asked me to come back to work. I have Alex and Dante looking after her at home." Luka explained."That's good that you are. You check all these files and give them
Hearing Caterina's words, Dante felt very happy. He had never thought that his daughter would give him a chance. The man smiled broadly. He approached Caterina, then hugged her very tightly."I know I've made many mistakes. This time I promise I will make up for all my past mistakes. I will be a good father to you." Dante said with great tenderness.Caterina nodded; she returned her father's hug gently.Luka looked happy to see that Caterina and her father's relationship had improved. His dream of improving their relationship had finally come true. At least that was all he wanted for now."No one needs me to take you to the airport, right?" Alex asked reassuringly after he saw Caterina and Dante hugging each other. The two had made up."I guess," Dante replied as he released her hug."Daddy!" Shopia ran to her father. She clung to her father's thighs. In her arms was the doll she got from Adam. She still thought it was from Caterina."Who is she?" Dante asked as he looked at his daugh
