“Mommy, today I came to see you. Are you happy there, Mom?” Shopia said as she gently stroked Francisca's grave. The child did not yet clearly understand the meaning of death. She didn't really understand who her mother was and why she died. However, Luka always took his daughter to visit Francisca's grave regularly every week. He wanted his daughter and his late wife to have a strong bond even though they were in different worlds.

Shopia placed the flowers she brought on the grave, then kissed her late mother's headstone. She didn't know why she had to do that, but she was certain that she always did it every time she visited there.

Luka just watched. He didn't want to show his sadness in front of his daughter. So, he always spoke and greeted Francisca from his heart. He was talking to himself a lot, expressing all his longing for Francisca. Outwardly he looked strong, but inwardly he was still devastated by Francisca's sudden death. His love was still very much alive when his late w

    After the tomb, Caterina and Leonardo returned to the Villa. Alex immediately approached and informed him that there was a commotion at La Vendetta's headquarters in Mexico.

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.

    Leonardo stopped his steps after he heard that sentence. He turned around, looking at the man in the doctor's suit standing before him. He looked at the man carefully. Gabriel looked very handsome with soft facial lines. His eyeballs were so beautiful; his body was also quite muscular for a doctor. Leonardo felt that the man was handsome enough to be his rival.“What did you say?” Leonardo asked for confirmation.“Kate is my girlfriend; face me first if you want to take her away.” Gabriel said firmly.“Gabriel, don't mess with him. Do you know who he is? Don't sacrifice yourself for a woman who doesn't want you.” Rossie warned. That woman had liked her coworker first, but Caterina's presence there had defeated her position. She had liked Gabriel for the past two years, but Caterina had stolen Gabriel's heart since the first day she started working there.Leonardo smiled sarcastically. “So that's it, one-sided love, huh?” He said in a sarcastic and condescending tone.“Gabriel, he's no

Open your eyes!” Caterina patted Gabriel's cheek repeatedly, trying to wake the unconscious man.Leonardo clenched his hands hard when the woman he liked hugged another man right in front of him. Not just hugging, the woman even cried for the other man.“What the hell are you doing!” Rossie approached. She pushed Caterina so roughly that her embrace on Gabriel's body slipped away. She quickly tried to administer first aid. She tried to stop the bleeding. Although she looked calm, she was actually panicking right now.“Take him to the emergency room!” Rossie ordered her other coworkers. She didn't have much time, as Gabriel had received a fatal gunshot wound.Immediately, Gabriel's weak body was brought to the emergency room.Caterina got up; she was about to follow them to the emergency room so that she

    Caterina woke up with her head still feeling dizzy. She blinked repeatedly to clear her vision. She was very confused about the room she was in, as it was her first time there. The room was very spacious with expensive furniture. Even the mattress she was on was much more expensive than the usual mattress she used.Caterina looked around. All the objects there were completely foreign to her. They were all high-class items.The door opened with the presence of a maid. Caterina recognized the maid, so she understood where she was.“Lucy, why am I here? Does that bastard want me to spend my last moments in luxury before he kills me?” Caterina asked as the maid approached her with a glass of hot tea.“I don't know. He just asked me to serve you well.” Lucy answered as she was.No one knew what Leonardo's intentions were. Only he himself knew what he wanted. He didn't want to share his feelings, so he didn't want to tell everyone what his plans were.Caterina let out a deep breath and unin

All the gatekeepers knew was that Dante had left the compound to buy stock medicine, as he was the only doctor in La Vendetta.Caterina asked her father to drive her to the hospital where she worked. She wants to make sure Gabriel survives the shot Leonardo gave him. At first Dante refused, because he was afraid that Caterina's presence there would be quickly discovered by Leonardo's other men. However, Caterina insisted, so Dante had no other choice.“Live well out there. Avoid fights with any groups. Never cause trouble for the sake of a safe life. I've sacrificed myself for your safety, so you should use your life well this time.” Dante gave his final message. It was hard for him to let go of his daughter, but he had to do it anyway.Caterina smiled faintly. She nodded, then gave him one last hug before getting out of the car.They w

    Leonardo strode into Caterina's room with his heart beating wildly. He had just returned from taking care of sending a drug package out of town. The man couldn't wait to see Catrina. He inhaled roughly, trying to look his usual self. That face looked so flat and cold; a hostile aura seemed to radiate from him.When he opened the door to the room, he was left speechless. Because there was only an empty bed there. The bed looked a little messy, a sign that it had been used up and had not been tidied up. There was no beautiful figure of Caterina that he missed and craved.Leonardo looked around, finding nothing but emptiness.“Kate!” Leonardo called out. His baritone voice bounced around the room. “Are you in the bathroom?” He asked, but there was no answer.Leonardo stepped inside, his long legs guiding him steadily towards the bathroom door. When he turned the doorknob, the bathroom door opened and showed that there was no one there. His wild mind began to wander. He squeezed the doork

    “Last night Luka met me before I went home.” Caterina said while they were having breakfast together. She didn't want to make Leonardo think bad things about her, so she told him before he asked.“Oh yeah? What were you talking about?” Leonardo asked in an enthusiastic tone. He acted as if he didn't know. His face looked very friendly this morning, contrary to last night when he saw Luka approaching Caterina. It seemed that he was getting good at acting.Caterina didn't like angry men, so he would always hold back when he was with her.“If you're not busy, this afternoon we can visit Francisca's grave after Shopia gets home from school.” Caterina told him.Leonardo stopped chewing, he looked up to Caterina with a deep look.

The only reason she continued to be there was because she wanted to be with Leonardo. If not for him, she would have left the building long ago. She didn't want to make the mistake of taking the wrong drink and ending up with a bad hangover.Leonardo searched for Alex's whereabouts. He couldn't trust Caterin to anyone but his men.“I'll ask Alex to take you back to the villa.” Leonardo made a decision.“No need; I can do it myself. Alex will be busy mingling.” Caterina refused.
