“What development?” Elena asked.

“Someone with the same goal as us contacted me.”

“What?” Elena raised a brow. “What do you mean?”

“I don’t know. He wants to stay anonymous till the day we meet.” Rex said, frustration evident in his voice.

“Does that make sense? Do you want to meet up with some stranger? Because of what?” Elena asked with a sarcastic look.

“I don’t care. I lost Victoria. I don’t want to lose you too. As far as I know, Levante thinks you’re dead. We need to strike now. When they least expect.” Rex said with determination.

“Do what you want.” Elena stood up and picked up her cell phone on the bed. “I’m going to meet the father of my unborn child.”

“What? By this time? Why are so stubborn? What if Levante sees you?”

“I don’t care. I might as well tell Luca the truth about them. He would stop caring about that Rio.” Elena hissed and headed for the door.

The evening breeze was gentle but Elena couldn’t help but feel chilly as she stood by the roadside, looking for a cab t

    Luca moved instinctively towards her and drew her into his embrace. Elena's lips curved into a smile as she snuggled close to him. “What happened with Rio wasn’t your fault.” She said.“I know. I know. But I can’t seem to stop blaming myself.” He murmured in her hair. Elena rubbed his back like a child that needs consoling.“Let’s get married. And leave this place.” Luca said as Elena’s body stilled in his arms. She didn’t expect things to be going this way.She freed herself from him and looked at him. “Really?”Luca smiled at her. “And it’s not because of the child. I haven’t felt attracted to anyone the way I am to you since Angelo’s mother died. I’ve only loved her.” He said as Elena forced a smile. She hated the fact that she couldn’t tell him the truth yet. It wasn’t the time. When everything’s settled, they would have the whole time in the world. She promised herself.“For now…” Luca stared lovingly at her as he removed the strand of hair that was covering her face. “Let’s help

    Rex paced around the living room frantically. It was late in the night and there was no sign of Elena. He has been trying to reach her since they left King’s Hotel. After the argument with Rossi, it was as of Elena had disappeared into thin air. She wasn’t even in the motel she has been hiding all this while. He dialed his father….they had both exchanged contacts earlier, both promising to give each other updates on how things would proceed.“I can’t seem to find her,” Rex said immediately after he heard the beep.Rex could hear him sigh from the receiver’s side. “Where she’s staying?”“Not there. And she isn’t picking up my calls. The call doesn’t seem to go through no matter how many times I try.” Rex said in frustration. “Does Levante have her?”“I will ask my people to track her. She’ll be fine, Rex.” Rossi said.Rex hung up but the gut feeling that his sister was in danger was overwhelming. He couldn’t just sit and wait without doing anything. What if Elena was in danger?

    “Rio,” Rossi said. “There’s a commotion in the hospital he was admitted in. He is on the rooftop with Elena. Luca should have received a call by now. He keeps asking for him.” Rex turned to look at Luca who stared anxiously at him. “I’m with Luca right now. We’ll head there right away.” Rex said and hung up.“What…”“Your crazy Boyfriend has her.” Rex seethed.“What?”“There’s no time. Let’s leave.” Rex said as he walked out of the house, trailed after by Luca.As they entered Rex’s car, Luca was still oblivious to what was happening.“Aren’t you wrong? Rio is in a psychiatric hospital.”“And he has my sister. He is threatening to kill her.”“What?” Luca's eyes shone in surprise. How is that….”“I don’t fucking know!” Rex snapped as he faced the road and hit the accelerator. Luca stared at him and looked at the road ahead. What the fuck is happening?When they got to the hospital, there was greeted by the crowd in front of the hospital as Rio stood at the edge of the rooftop, with a

    Ren, another round please," Luca gestured to the bartender.Ren arched an eyebrow skeptically. "You're going to overdo it, Mr. Luca."Luca glared at him, annoyance clear in his expression. "Just get me the damn drink, Ren," he ordered as the bartender dutifully prepared it.With a heavy sigh, Luca downed yet another scotch, feeling the familiar burn in his throat."He turned to the dance floor, feeling the bass of the music pulsing through his body. The crowd was wild, everyone lost in the moment as they danced the night away. Luca had come here to forget his problems for a little while. He was facing the possibility of losing his inheritance if he didn't get married soon, but there was a catch - he was allergic to women's touch.He let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of his predicament on his shoulders. Suddenly, his eyes fell on her. With her deep green eyes, she was completely immersed in the song, dancing like she had not a care in the world. Their eyes met and they both stare

    As Elena walked into the coffee shop, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her senses. Her best friend and room mate Lucia, who worked part-time there, greeted her with a beaming smile as she approached the counter. "Look who's here," Lucia exclaimed. "I missed you last night." But her cheerful expression quickly turned into suspicion as she asked, "Where did you spend the night?"Elena winked and replied, "Somewhere." Lucia knew her friend too well; she was aware that Elena had spent the night with a man. Elena's playgirl attitude was something Lucia was used to. She couldn't help but ask, "Who is he this time?" It had become a tradition for Elena to describe every man she had a fling with, and her friend was always eager to hear the juicy details. For Elena, sharing her experiences was like winning a prize."Just some random person," Elena replied, knowing that Lucia was trying to dig deeper. Elena wasn't ready to let her best friend into her dark world of revenge against

    Elena raised an eyebrow at Luca, unsure of how to react. This wasn't part of the plan and she never expected any of this. "Are you playing with me, Mr. Luca?" she asked."No," Luca replied curtly. "I need you, Miss Elena."Elena eyed him warily. "How?" she asked.Luca sighed, realizing there was no use in hiding the truth. "I need to get married in order to access my rights as the heir to my father's wealth and the company I've worked so hard for," he explained.Elena chuckled. "There are other women, Mr. Luca. Now, if you will excuse me, I have other things to do..."But Luca wasn't finished. "Name it. Anything you want, Miss Elena. I'll do it for you to accept this marriage."Elena stared at him for a moment before sitting back down. What was he scheming behind this proposal? If he had ulterior motives, it was bad news. But if it was truly about his inheritance, then it could be a catch for her. If she became his wife, one year would be enough time to execute her plan. She would be

    As Elena saw Andrea Romano descending the stairs, her body went stiff. She had thought she was ready to face this man, but this encounter proved otherwise. She tried to say something, but before she could, Andrea clapped his hands and approached her, his eyes beaming like Luca's."Luca never seems to fail me. You're beautiful," he said, and Elena thanked him quickly."But this isn't right," Andrea said almost immediately. "You don't know where Luca is?" he added, sounding suspicious. Elena realized she had been caught and began to make up a story, but a familiar voice interrupted them."Father," they both turned to see Luca, who looked handsome as usual in his white tuxedo."Ah, the man of the hour," Andrea chuckled. "I was just having a chat with...""She's tired, Father," Luca interrupted impatiently. He knew what his father was trying to do."You can talk tomorrow," he said and turned to Elena. "Let's go to our room, babe," he said, giving her a feigned loving smile. Elena recogniz

    Elena reluctantly got up from the bed, still feeling a bit dazed from the night of passion with Luca. She had yet to put away her clothes in the wardrobe, and the thought of sharing a bed with him again made her grudgingly sigh. After dinner, they were definitely going to have a talk about getting separate rooms. She didn't care what Luca's father thought anymore. It was clear that he was taking advantage of the situation for more than just the inheritance.As she changed into comfortable clothes, Elena made her way to the dining area. The mansion was so large that it was difficult to locate, but she managed to find her way. As she walked into the dining room, she couldn't help but admire the immaculate table setting before her. The white tablecloth was perfectly laid out, with silver cutlery neatly arranged beside the exquisite china plates. The centerpiece of the table was a stunning floral arrangement that added a touch of elegance to the already impressive display.Her eyes then f

    “I fucked Martino.” She said dryly as Rex's eyes flickered at her for a while and averted his gaze quickly as if trying to hide something. “I fucked him,” Victoria replied as Rex shifted his gaze to her face again. “Okay.” He shrugged. “It’s all for the plan, right.” He asked, desperation hidden in his voice.Victoria cupped her face in frustration. “I love him, Rex.” Rex's hands stiffened in his pocket. He parted his lips but nothing came out. “Say something, damn it!” She fired as Rex chuckled.“Say what?” He asked, trying to fight the emotion that was burning within him.“Curse me. Call me a filthy bitch. I can take it all. But I do love him, Rex.”“And us?” Rex asked as if that has been the question in his mind.Victoria closed her eyes for a while and opened it. “I don’t know.” She shook her head as Rex’s heart sank.“I don’t know, man. I need space.” She said as tears streamed from her eye. As she turned to leave, Rex caught her arm again.“Our plans?”“Are you kidding me ri

    Martino sat down in the visiting room while Levante paced around in front of him. He didn’t dare to talk. After he received his call at the hospital earlier. His urgent tone signaled to Martino that Levante was, even more, crazier than his son. “PTSD ugh?” He stopped moving as he regarded Martino. Martino paused, nothing ever gets past this man. More reason why he should be more cautious.“The doctor hasn’t made any diagnosis yet. He’s still under observation.” Martino replied, careful with his words in order not to infuriate him any further.Levante nodded. “Will he be admitted to some psychiatrist hospital?”“Like I said…”“I bloody heard you the first time, Martino!” Levante fired as Martino bowed his head. That’s more like it. This was his true character. Not the unusually quiet type that was unpredictable.“I’m sorry boss.”“Did the doctor say what caused his trauma?”“I…”“I could get that information in a matter of seconds. Think before you lie.” Levante hissed.Then why did y

    “What?” Luca asked, surprised. “This is crazy, Rio.” He added quickly when he noticed his surprised look wasn’t helping matters.“Yeah! I’m crazy about you, Luca!” Rio sobbed as Luca pressed his lips in exasperation.“Those times in the past…” he started slowly and his grip on the injection was less. “I would always watch your back. Dad said it was my duty. It was our duty to watch out for the Romanos.” He scoffed with a bitter smile as Luca watched him. He hated seeing him like this. He couldn’t do anything and it added to his frustration. “I misunderstood man.” He added.“You were the best thing that happened to me,” Luca said.“Were?” Rio raised a brow.“Rio…”“Those times when you would always stay alone. Angry you couldn’t approach other girls, I wished you would just look at me. Even for once.” Rio said.“I didn’t….” Luca brushed his hand through his hair. “I didn’t know, Rio.”“Well, Now you know!” He snapped.“Yes. I do. And I appreciate you….your love.”“No, you don’t,” Rio s

    “Victoria….I…” Martino started to say but the words got hung up in the air.“Martino?” Victoria called when he didn’t say anything afterward.“Anything I do in the future, just know I love you. I love you so much, Victoria.” Martino said and hung up. He swung around and marched back to the cottage. He narrowed his eyes at Elena. “I’m not going to kill you. A certain person is betting on me. So I wouldn’t want to break her trust.” Elena watched him. Was it Victoria?“Then what?” She asked with a frown.“Let’s make a deal….” “Deal?”“You already know by now that Rio wants you dead. And I can’t seem to understand why you said he tried to kill you in the past…” Martino gave her a wary look. But Elena didn’t reply. There was no use hiding it. Or was there? He is going to spare her. She should keep her mouth shut till the end.“Your deal…” she said.“Stay away from Luca. Go far away from him. Out of the country….I don’t care. Because if I see you anywhere around him, I’ll be the first to

    “How are you feeling, Rio.” Levante ignored his initial statement.“It’s not your concern. You’ve always wanted to do my bidding right? Then take her out? I don’t want to see her ever again!” A silence ensued for a while then Levante spoke up. “Did she try to hurt you?”“Is that more important to you?”“Answer the damn question, boy. I pay my enemies back in full.” Levante spoke harshly as Rio sighed.“Not directly.”“What do you mean?”“Luca slept with her.” He said and paused but his father didn’t say a word. “I got overwhelmed with the thought and crashed on a poll.”“I can’t believe this,” Levante muttered under his breath.“Well?” Rio asked.“Focus on recovering. I’ll take care of the rest.” Levante said and hung up.“That isn’t a bloody answer,” Rio muttered as he put down the phone. He lay there in silence as he took time to eventually review his decision. He had called his dad on impulse. He was angry. Especially after that talk with Luca. His rage knew no bounds. He just cou
