“Sir, there's a little problem.” A man approached Leonardo in the dining room. Leonardo turned to look at his men. The expression on his face instantly turned flat but deadly.

“We lost information about Alex. He sent out a signal for help before he completely lost contact.” The man said with a face full of sympathy.

Leonardo was quite surprised when he heard that sentence. His hands clenched into tight fists. His jaw hardened with a clearly defined neck vein. His face turned red. He did not expect to get bad news about Alex under these circumstances.

Leonardo's heart was beating very fast. He felt anxious. Because Alex was not just a subordinate to him. For him, the man was his brother. He trusted Alex so much that he confidently sent him along with two others. He firmly believed that Alex would be able to finish Ben off with his own hands.

However, it seems that Leonardo's calculations were off. It looks like Ben has quite a strong connection in a foreign country. It's true what Cate

    “Kate, a woman is looking for you. She says she has something important to talk about,” a man told Caterina.Caterina turned her head towards the source of the voice. Her brow furrowed with a look in her eyes that showed many question marks. She had no plans to meet anyone. She also didn't have any close female friends. Who was looking for her?“What did she want to talk about?”“I don't know; she said it's very important.”“Who?”“I'm not sure, but it seems to be Marco's sister.”Caterina gasped as she heard that name mentioned.After learning the truth about what Marco had done, Caterina's relationship with him was very bad.

    “Watch your tone! You're at La Vendetta headquarters right now. I could just finish you off and make you disappear without leaving a trace.” Alex said sharply. He lowered Rossie's hand that was pointing at Caterina.Rossie glared, then inhaled harshly.“I should have known from the start what your intentions were in approaching my brother. You did that, made all the men crazy about you, and then you just left without feeling any guilt at all. Just because you're pretty, then you think that you can play with the hearts of all men?” Rossie was getting more and more angry.The woman looked away. She felt disgusted looking at Caterina's beautiful face.Caterina smiled faintly, she laughed sarcastically.“My patience has a limit. If you insult Kate again, I assure you that you won't be able to get out of this mansion safely.” Alex warned again.“Patience, Alex. Don't take what she says seriously.” Caterina was still calm.“Stop pretending to be nice in front of me. Just because you asked G

    “Why did she come here?” Leonardo walked over as he stared at Rossie, who was leaving. His gaze seemed so sharp and hateful. He never had anything to do with Rossie, but he disliked her because she was Marco's sister. Leonardo had a bad relationship with him. He disliked all things related to Marco.“It doesn't matter.” Caterina answered.“I heard you arguing about Marco. Were you planning to go to him and she didn't agree?” Leonardo asked probingly.After everything Marco had done, he couldn't believe that Caterina would still give Marco a chance. He wasn't even given a second chance by Caterina; how could Marco possibly get one? He would never be willing.“None of your business either.” Caterina replied sharply.Alex smiled reluctantly. He rubbed the back of his neck as he felt awkward watching the argument between Caterina and Leonardo. A few moments ago, Leonardo had been angry because he had gone missing while in Venezuela.

    Caterina felt a little strange, but all she could do was accept Leonardo's offer. There was no reason for her to refuse the offer, especially since Leonardo promised her many good things. Plus, the salary is so big, even many times the salary she got before.Working just two months, she will get one million dollars. Imagine if she worked for a year; how much money she would make.“Alright if everyone agrees.” Leonardo said happily. He was very happy but didn't want to show his excitement. Inside he was shouting with joy.Caterina nodded in confusion. She felt that Leonardo was a little different now. There was another aura emanating from him. There used to be only cruelty and coldness emanating from Leonardo, but now she could feel a little warmth.Leonardo smiled very faintly.“You read your work list and memorize it. You can start working tomorrow morning.” Leonardo looked at the paper in front of Caterina.Caterina also turned to look at the paper. “Isn't it the same? I just need t

Obviously they were not this close before. Why was he suddenly being so friendly with her?“I don't like avocado, so no avocado.” Leonardo gave a warning when he saw the ingredients Caterina had prepared for breakfast. If he wasn't mistaken, she was going to make sandwiches.“Avocados are good for your health.” Caterina made an excuse.“I'm allergic to avocados. Have you forgotten about that detail about me?” Leonardo gave Caterina a probing look.Caterina used to be the most caring person for him. She always knew what he liked and what he didn't like. She also knew every little thing about him. She even knew his allergies the best. Caterina would always wa

    "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

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

    "Kate! Where's Kate?" Adam ran in breathlessly. The whole city of Sydney recognized the middle-aged man. So, the security guards and doctors didn't dare to hold him back or reprimand him. The man looked very panicked, his face and eyes full of worry. Fortunately, he had not heard the news about Caterina's death. He had only heard from his men that Caterina was being treated at the hospital for being shot in her vitals.The door opened with Adam appearing behind it. The man looked at Caterina, who was sleeping on a hospital bed in the VIP room. There were numerous devices attached to her body."Dad?" Luka was surprised to see his father there. His brow furrowed, he looked around. His father had come alone."Why are you here?" Luka asked in a tone demanding an answer. He had told his men to keep this matter a secret from Adam or Shopia. Why was his father suddenly there?"Do you think I'm that cruel? I told you that I have recognized Kate as my daughter-in-law. Why would you keep a matt

    "I'll take care of the administration so that we can take Kate's body directly to the crematorium for cremation." Alex said with a trembling voice. The man could not even believe that Caterina had died. The woman he had thought of as his only remaining family had left him.Alex took a weak step. His face was puffy and red. He was deeply lost and grieved over Caterina's death. There was no sentence that could describe his feelings at the moment. He even had to take care of the hospital administration when he was in such a state of grief."No! You can't take her to the cremation ground!" Luka said in a high tone. "Kate is still alive. Her body is still warm." He continued to deny. Perhaps because of his deep love, he couldn't accept reality.Alex ignored that sentence. He knew that what Luka was saying right now was just an expression of his pain. The longer he heard Luka's cries, the deeper his pain would become as he realized that he would never see Caterina again."Where am I?" The w

    Hearing the doctor's words, Luka felt like his life was over. His heart stopped beating for a few seconds. He could not believe that Caterina was really dead. How could that be? This morning he was still joking with Caterina. He had only left her for a few hours because Caterina was going to choose a wedding dress. They were going to get married in the near future, but now it looked like it would never happen. This was because the bride-to-be was gone.Luka fell to his knees on the floor. He couldn't even cry because he was too shocked to hear the news. His face looked very pale, his eyes wide open.Alex immediately ran into the room. He ran over to Caterina. His tears immediately broke after he saw the pale face of Caterina who was sleeping on the operating bed. The eyes were now tightly closed. Her beautiful face looked very pale."Kate! You can't die! Who gave you permission to die?!" Leonardo's screams sounded so heartbreaking. He shook Caterina's body, hoping that she would rise
