It turned out that Leonardo's business this time was quite long, he only returned to headquarters three days later. He came home very tired, dirty and full of blood. Just by looking at that, Caterina could already guess what had happened. Leonardo was involved in another battle, but she didn't know who his enemy was this time. Fortunately the blood was not Leonardo's, it was just the enemy's blood splashing onto his body and clothes. He only had a small cut on his palm. It seemed that he parried a hand weapon attack with his hand.

Some of Leonardo's men were badly injured. However, there were no casualties. Everyone returned safely.

Caterina didn't know what to do. She was actually worried about Leonardo's condition, she wanted to run over and check on him to make sure he was okay. However, Caterina didn't want to take the wrong step. She was afraid Leonardo would get angry again. The woman could only stare from a distance.

“Kate, please help me treat the others.” Dante gave the order

    “Are you busy? I want to talk to you.” Caterina asked after she entered Leonardo's study. “Get used to knocking on the door before you enter.” Leonardo looked annoyed. He closed this month's financial report book, then took a deep breath. He looked up, looking at Caterina with deep eyes.Caterina's gaze turned to Leonardo's palm, which was wrapped in bandages. Leonardo seemed to understand; he hid his hands behind a pile of files on the table."Why are you looking for me?"Caterina was silent for a moment. She tried to gather her courage before asking, because she had to be ready to accept whatever answer Leonardo would give her."Is this yours?" Caterina held out a necklace, the necklace she found in Leonardo's car the other day.Leonardo looked very surprised when he saw the necklace in Caterina's hand, but he tried to act normal. He doesn't want to admit his feelings right now, because he is too proud. He was used to rejecting Caterina, being rude to her, even swearing that he wou

    “Sir, your necklace has been found,” Ben said excitedly. He thrust the necklace in front of Leonardo. His face looked radiant because he was imagining what prize he would get. Leonardo was quite a generous boss; he never calculated money problems. It's just that he is quite cruel if his men make mistakes.Leonardo looked at the necklace with an incomprehensible look. There was no reaction whatsoever when Ben returned the necklace that he had been looking for for several days. He should have been happy that it was back in his hands. However, he felt lost. He didn't know what to do.“Call Alex here.” The man gave the order coldly.Ben looked confused. He was a little disappointed that Leonardo didn't say anything about the return of the necklace he was looking for. However, he couldn't protest; all he could do was do what Leonardo told him to do.The bald man moved out of Leonardo's study.Leonardo reached for the necklace. He gripped the pendant tightly with a strange feeling. What exa

    “Get up and leave this room quickly if you want your daughter to live.” Leonardo said firmly; he looked very scary.“Please don't kill her, sir.”“Didn't you hear my order?!” Leonardo's tone of voice rose.Hearing Leonardo's growing anger, Dante feared that his temper would soon explode and take out his frustration on Caterina. He didn't know what the man would do to his daughter. However, if he continued to be there, Caterina's life would be in danger. So, he had no choice but to get up and leave the room.Dante closed the door tightly at Leonardo's command. However, he didn't want to leave the room, so he waited behind the door. He put his ear to door leaf, trying to eavesdrop on what was going on in there.“Didn't Alex tell you to come see me?” Leonardo stared at Caterina like a predator staring at prey.“He told me.” Caterina replied casually.“Then why didn't you come to see me?”“I already know what you want to say, so I didn't need to come to see you.” Caterina glanced in all d

    Once satisfied, Leonardo left Caterina alone. He walked out of the room without saying a word. The expression on his face was unpredictable. No one knew what exactly was in Leonardo's heart and mind, apart from himself.Caterina could only cry with her weak body lying on the floor. Some parts of her body were bruised and swollen, a sign that Leonardo had done it very roughly. She felt extreme pain and soreness in her groin. In her heart now there was only anger and hatred. The man she had been in love with for a dozen years had done something so hurtful to her. Not even Marco had done that to him.“Kate!” Dante ran into the room after Leonardo disappeared from there. The man ran over. His world seemed to collapse when he saw his daughter lying on the floor without clothes. His heart sank when he saw his daughter's body covered in wounds, as well as love juices. Even Caterina's inner thighs were stained with the blood of her hymen.Dante hugged his daughter with a trembling body. He wa

    Caterina finally fell asleep after Dante treated her wound. There was a bigger wound depicted on Caterina's face. It was not a physical wound, but a mental wound that would never heal.Dante looked longingly at his daughter's face. His eyes were red, his chest tight. What kind of father was he to bring his daughter into such great danger?“I'm sorry, Kate.” Dante said in a hoarse, trembling voice. He rubbed his daughter's bruised face. It was still puffy, as Caterina had been crying the entire time until she fell asleep from exhaustion.Dante wrapped his arms around Caterina's body, then lovingly kissed his daughter's forehead. He felt sick when he remembered the last time he had kissed his daughter's forehead. Their time together was too short because he was too busy with work. When he realized, his daughter had grown up without affection.“I promised you that I would be a good father to you. I won't break my promise this time.” Dante said with emphasis, as if he were talking to hims

    Caterina woke up when it was already noon. The hot sunlight sneaking in through the gap in the curtains made her eyes a little dazzling. She stretched for a moment, then rubbed her eyes. She got up to sit up. When she got up, she felt her whole body ache and hurt. Now she regained consciousness and remembered what happened last night. Remembering it all, Caterina became hysterical. She was scared, sad, and extremely frustrated.“Aaaarght!” Caterina screamed at the top of her lungs. She pulled her hair very roughly, hoping that it would make all the bad memories in her head disappear.The door to the room opened after the scream was heard outside. It was not Dante who appeared from behind the door, but a maid. The woman brought food for Caterina.Caterina stared intently. She trusted no one now but her father. There was no one she could trust anymore after the man she loved so much had violently raped her.“Madam, I brought you some fish soup and tomato juice as well.” The woman approa

    Three days after the incident, Caterina's physical condition had started to improve, but not her mental state. The bruises on her face also seemed to have faded. She had not seen or crossed paths with Leonardo since the incident.If Dante was fine, they would plan their escape right now. However, Dante's condition did not allow it. He had difficulty walking. If they ran away and were chased by Leonardo, they would be caught immediately. Dante didn't want to make things worse.It seems that Caterina's escape this time must be planned very carefully. If she ran away unprepared like before, she would be caught again. Not only caught by Leonardo but also by Marco.“You don't have to think about me, Kate. Just think about yourself; it's okay if you want to run away. That bastard can vent his anger on me. I just want you to be safe and start a new life.” Dante tried to convince.However, Caterina didn't want to. If she left, then her father would have to go too. There was no need for a sacr

    There was an explosion from the direction of the firearms storage warehouse. The explosion was so loud that it knocked down several sides of the warehouse. Several officers ran towards the scene.

Let's rush him to the infirmary!”“Tighten the guard!” “Inform Mr. Bianchi about this matter!”“Looks like the enemy is coming for us!”All sorts of comments and questions could be heard exchanged. The atmosphere turned into complete chaos. Fortunately, only one person was injured in this incident. Caterina immediately performed first aid to stop the bleeding.

    “I apologize for my behavior last night.” Leonardo apologized sincerely. He did not want their relationship to end so briefly just because of his jealousy.“I'm over it.” Caterina replied casually. She was used to the attitude and harsh words Leonardo had thrown at her. What he did last night was nothing to her. She did not feel hurt at all.Caterina was in a good mood this morning. She enjoyed her breakfast with great relish.A ringing phone call came from Leonardo's cell phone. The man reached for his cell phone to check who dared to call him at this time of the morning. Usually clients would call Alex to leave a message or pass on information. Only certain people knew Leonardo's private number.Luka's name flashed on the screen. He immediately accepted the call, thinking there was something important Luka wanted to say about their collaboration.“Does Kate have an event this morning?” Luka asked after they had exchanged pleasantries.Leonardo frowned. He turned to look at Caterina,

    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. Fortunately, all of that can be handled by his men on guard. It is suspected that the enemy attacked suddenly because they knew that Leonardo was abroad with Alex.There was no La Vendetta leader in Mexico, so they thought that they could paralyze the headquarters and take over Leonardo's leadership. Unfortunately, they were completely wrong, as Leonardo's men have fighting skills that cannot be underestimated. They are very good at martial arts, their weaponry is very complete, also they have very high solidarity between coworkers, so their cooperation runs smoothly to knock out enemies who suddenly come to attack.“That's good, I've never been wrong in choosing the members of La Vendetta.” Leonardo felt very proud of his leadership.The headquarters could not be broken into by the enemy in his absence.

    “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

    “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. He finally had the chance to visit his late sister's grave. He was impatient, because there was a lot of pent-up longing. There were many things he wanted to say. Although he was very busy, he would make time for it.Alex who was there could only listen without dar

    “Are you bored?” Leonardo asked with great tenderness. He looked lovingly at Caterina. He knew and understood that Caterina did not like this kind of event.Caterina nodded gently in response. 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. She was no longer a child who needed supervision. She was also a martial arts expert. If anyone bothered her, she could beat them up with her own hands.Thanks to Marco, he had created the current version of Caterina. Caterina, who was more capable in battle.“Be careful on the road.

There were many things he didn’t know about the woman until she died in childbirth.Caterina took a deep breath.“Leonardo’s mother used to work as a stripper in a luxury club in Mexico.

However, all the men refused to acknowledge the child. No one wanted the child at all. His mother was very depressed, especially since she couldn’t work if she was pregnant.
