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
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
"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
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
“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
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
Caterina's cries echoed throughout the room. Her trembling hands embraced the bloodied body. She hugged Gabriel tightly, trying her best to wake him up.“No, Gabriel. Come on, wake up! 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

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
