Caterina rolled her eyes in disgust when she found Leonardo in front of her. She didn't understand why he always followed her wherever she went. No matter what place she wanted to go, Leonardo was always there.“You—” Marco looked surprised at Leonardo's arrival. Not without reason, he had begun to fear dealing with the man. There were many secrets about his crimes that Leonardo knew.“Why, are you afraid?” Leonardo stared with a challenging look. If it wasn't for Caterina's request, he would have finished Marco long ago.“Why should I be afraid if I've done nothing wrong?” Marco asked back. He tried to act casual even though his heart was beating very fast. He masked his fear by giving a challenging look.“Do I need to explain all the mistakes you've made? While Kate is here, you can explain if you're innocent.” Leonardo said it casually, but it sounded so deadly to Marco's ears.“Leo, stop disturbing other people's peace. Marco is not bothering you, so stop bothering him. Can't you

“Thank you.” Caterina handed Alex back the car keys. She smiled slightly at him, then left for the room where her father was being treated. Even at first glance, Alex could tell that Caterina was upset. Her face was grim with her lips curled.Alex followed behind. He wanted to know what was going on. Caterina should have gone home feeling a little happy that she could get out of the mansion. At least her tangled mind could be a little fresher.“What's wrong?” Alex asked softly.“That bastard follows me everywhere I go. He's always looking for trouble.” Caterina replied in a tone full of annoyance.“Leo?” Alex asked for confirmation. Caterina began to be reluctant to mention Leonardo's name because her hatred for the man was at the highest level. Let alone meeting him, just mentioning his name made her feel reluctant.“Who else?” Caterina replied indifferently. She opened the door to her father's room, went inside, and started mixing the medicine before he woke up and took it.“Maybe h

Caterina stepped into the courtyard, accompanying Alex who was leaving for the airport. This was because Ben's whereabouts were already known to be in Venezuela. It's just not yet known what city he is in. Venezuela was famous for criminal acts everywhere. The country was not safe for locals, let alone for an immigrant like him.Caterina was very worried about Alex's safety. However, she had no right to stop him from leaving. All matters relating to La Vendetta were in Leonardo's hands. If Leonardo had forbidden Alex to go, then Alex would not have gone. However, everyone knew that Leonardo's decision was inviolable.“Be careful there, I want you to come home safely.” Caterina said. She hugged Alex tightly, as if she didn't want to let go. She really didn't want to lose her friend.“I'll be fine, trust me. I'm not going alone, so you don't have to worry.”“How can I contact you to ask how you doing?”“I'll send news to Leonardo often. If you want to know how I'm doing, just ask him. O

Leonardo laughed at Caterina's words. He felt very sad because that's how Caterina looked at him.“You're wrong. I know what Alex is like. I know him better than anyone. By sending him off to find Ben, it's proof that I really trust him. I know that this is what he wants. Ben had betrayed their friendship; he must have wanted to finish Ben off with his own hands. Like longing, revenge must also be paid in full. If Ben dies at my hands, it will mean nothing to Alex,” Leonardo explained.Leonardo was not very good at expressing feelings; that's why many people misunderstood his attitude.Caterina was silent. She didn't think that far ahead. She thought that Leonardo didn't care about Alex at all, which is why he sent Alex to where the enemy was. However, it turned out that he was thinking about Alex's feelings.Looks like Alex was right; Leonardo had his own way of showing his feelings.“All this time I never thought about people's judgment of me. However, it turns out that being judged

After being in a coma for over two months, Gabriel finally woke up. The man stared vaguely at all corners of the room where he was being treated. His head felt very dizzy; he squinted as the light made him feel very dazzled.“He's awake!”“Tell Mrs. Rossie that Gabriel is awake!”“I'll do a check.”All the guards and doctors on duty were excited when the patient they had been guarding and caring for finally woke up from his coma. They had resigned themselves to the fact that Gabriel would die, as his signs of life were very slim. The gunshot wound on his body was fatal, especially since it wasn't just one shot.If not for Rossie's efforts and hard work, Gabriel might not have survived. She was the woman who had fought so hard to save Gabriel's life. Gabriel owed her his life. This should have made it easier for Rossie to win Gabriel's heart. She could force him to accept her love because she had saved Gabriel from death.Rossie, who got the good news, was very happy. She quickly ran t

This morning the sun was shining very softly. Rossie took Gabriel for a walk in the garden behind the Phoenix Crew headquarters. She pushed the wheelchair that Gabriel was sitting in. The garden looked very beautiful. Flowers were blooming, and butterflies were fluttering above. Occasionally, birdsong could be heard.Rossie looked lovingly at Gabriel. She enjoyed and was very happy with her life now. She preferred Gabriel to be sick like this because they could spend time together. If Gabriel fully recovered later, he might just run away from her. Because, from the beginning, Gabriel did not love her.Marco, who watched from a distance, felt very happy for his sister. He had never seen his sister fall in love so deeply for a man. Seeing his sister happy, he was happy too.“Kate will definitely be happy if she knows Gabriel is awake.” Marco muttered. He reached into his pocket, pulling out his cell phone to take pictures of his sister's activities with Gabriel. Afterward, he left for a

“I've apologized to you many times. Is it that hard to forgive?” Leonardo sounded annoyed after he heard Caterina's answer.Caterina looked up, turning to Leonardo. The corners of her lips raised, she smiled sarcastically at Leonardo's words. In the past, she apologized hundreds of times for mistakes she didn't make. However, Leonardo was always rude to her. This time she wanted Leonardo to experience the same thing. She wanted Leonardo to know how painful it was to be in his position. When he apologized, he was ignored.“Apologizing won't bring anything back.” Caterina said firmly.Even though Gabriel was safe and her father was slowly getting better, she still couldn't accept it. The two people she cared about had to suffer so much because of him. If forgiveness could restore everything, she would not feel this sorry.“Do you like him?” Dante asked with a smile.Because all this time he never knew that his daughter had a male friend. Moreover, their relationship was so close that Ga

“Where are you going?” Leonardo intercepted Caterina when she was about to leave the mansion. As Leonardo said, Caterina could not leave without his permission. He had to know what she was doing and where she was going.Caterina sighed harshly. She rolled her eyes lazily. With an annoyed sigh, she turned to look at Leonardo.“I'm going out for a while.”“Where?”“You don't need to know. I won't run away without my father; you know that too.”“But I need to know where you're going.”“Please don't make things difficult for me. Where I'm going is none of your business.”“Of course it's my business. You're still under La Vendetta's wing; there will be many dangers that await you when you're out of my sight.” Leonardo was looking for an excuse so that he could continue to control all of Caterina's activities.Caterina had repeatedly been in danger. Many times she almost lost her life. Leonardo did not want her to get hurt again. He really wanted to protect her completely.Caterina looked v

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

"Dad?" Caterina was taken completely by surprise when she came out of the room to find Dante standing at the door. She was petrified for a moment, staring at her father with a mind filled with question marks. Since when had he been there? Why was he suddenly there? What was he doing there? All these questions ruled Caterina's mind."Kate..." Dante said weakly. His eyes looked teary. His whole body was trembling. He couldn't help but feel, even more so after he learned that Caterina had died and finally came back from the dead. He did not expect that his daughter would go through so many difficult times because of him."I'm sorry." Dante said in a hoarse and trembling voice. He hugged Caterina very tightly. His embrace even made Caterina moan because of the pain in her wound."I'm sorry." Dante released the hug because he did not want to hurt his daughter further. He gently rubbed Caterina's shoulders. A knot of a smile appeared on his lips. However, his eyes were moist from crying.Wh

"I can help you if you want. You don't have to spend your time in prison. No one knows how long you'll be locked up there." The man in the formal suit spoke with emphasis. He had travelled from Mexico to Sydney after learning that Leonardo was involved in a criminal offense and had to deal with the law.If he had wanted to, Leonardo would have relied on his connections to get all charges dropped. However, he did not want to do that, as he realized that he was wrong. Moreover, Caterina forgave without wanting to prolong. He felt ashamed, angry, and disappointed in himself. There were countless mistakes he had made. There was no telling how much pain Caterina had received. He wanted to make up for all his mistakes, at least by being locked up in a detention cell for a few months."You don't have to do that. I wanted this." Leonardo replied expressionlessly.The man was quite surprised by Leonardo's refusal. How could he? How could he voluntarily submit himself to trial? He was the ruler

After a week in the hospital, Caterina was finally allowed to go home under the condition that she must always be under the doctor's care. Her pale face had also started to look fresh. Luka had really taken good care of her during her hospitalization. He even neglected his work during this week. For him, Caterina was more important than work. Even Adam also preferred to be in the hospital rather than working."Slow down." Luka said gently as he helped Caterina out of the car. He carried her, half-hugging her, to step into the house."Mommy!" Shopia ran over when she saw Caterina had finally returned. She hugged Caterina's legs very tightly, as there was a lot of longing building up."Where are the souvenirs, Mommy?" Shopia looked up, looking at Caterina with sparkling eyes. Her face looked radiant, a sweet smile gracing her lips. She didn't know anything about what had happened to Caterina, because Adam had told her that Luka and Caterina were travelling to Mexico for a week to take c

Caterina woke up in the morning when the doctor came to check her condition. She had slept very well the whole night, due to the effects of the medicine the doctor had given her. The woman frowned as she felt the glare of the light. Her eyes narrowed to look around. She was quite surprised to find Adam there."Uncle?" Caterina called out weakly.Adam approached with a smile. He felt guilty for all the things he had done to Caterina in the past. He felt guilty for hurting her. If he had known that Caterina was a victim of Leonardo's selfishness, he would never have antagonized her. He would have loved her with all his heart and regarded her as his own daughter."Stop calling me uncle; call me father from now on." Adam said with great tenderness. He rubbed the top of Caterina's head, the look in his eyes showing that he had truly accepted Caterina completely.Caterina smiled with a gentle nod. She was very happy with Adam's behavior because she felt as if she had a loving father. All th
