Ryan forcefully pushed Rio away, his voice filled with frustration. "Rio, what the hell? There's a kid here," he whispered, his actions revealing a momentary lapse in control.

A mischievous smile played on Rio's lips, surprising Ryan. "Why pretend you didn't enjoy it, Ryan? It's what you've always desired," Rio taunted, causing Ryan's cheeks to flush as he nervously bit his lip.

"This isn't the right time for this," Ryan replied, avoiding eye contact and shifting his gaze to Robert, who observed them innocently.

"When then? Shall we go upstairs?" Rio's voice dropped to a low, sensual tone, igniting an unexpected desire within Ryan. He had never seen this side of Rio before, and although it felt strange, there was an undeniable appeal.

Interrupting Ryan's thoughts, Robert spoke up. "I want to stay," he declared, capturing the attention of both men.

Ryan questioned, "Stay? For today?"

"Yes," Robert confirmed, "but I have a condition." Rio crouched beside him, eager to hear what Robert h

    "I'm not entirely certain, Mr. Romano, but Celine is the kind of person who acts before you even have a chance to think about it," Rosa responded. "If I may ask, sir, where is your son right now?" She inquired."At..." Andrea began to reply, but then realization hit him. "He left earlier, and... oh no," he cursed, pulling out his phone and dialing Luca's number. However, it wouldn't connect."What's wrong?" Lucia asked, her face filled with concern."I can't reach Luca," Andrea said, his heart pounding in his chest."What? I thought he went to see Elena.""That's what it seemed like. Luca received a message from an unknown number. This is what I've been trying to tell you, Lucia. Elena and Luca have fallen into a trap. Oh my God, I can't believe I overlooked this," Andrea seethed, standing up."I'm going to the police station. Luca might be in danger.""I'll go with you," Lucia offered."Me too," Rosa chimed in, rising from her seat."It's alright, Rosa. We'll handle this. Thank you f

    Before Rio could utter a response, his phone abruptly powered down. "Leave it, Martino," he found himself saying, his disbelief palpable. As he awaited a reply, silence greeted him, and he withdrew the phone from his ear, only to discover it had turned off due to a drained battery. A surge of frustration coursed through him, tempting him to hurl the device to the floor. Instinctively, he knew Martino would act, guided by his own sense of righteousness, even if it put Robert in danger.Without delay, Rio sprinted back to the spot where he had left Ryan earlier, gasping for breath. "Where's Robert?" he asked anxiously.Ryan turned towards the sweet candy stall that had captivated his attention earlier. "There..." His brow furrowed in a frown. "He was just there a moment ago," he replied."Damn it!" Rio cursed, hastening towards the bustling stall, teeming with children. Ryan followed close behind."Excuse me, sir," Rio addressed the man in charge of the stall, a mid-thirties man sportin

    "Wow, wow, Luca. You're quite clever, aren't you?" Celine's voice dripped with malicious amusement as Luca stared at her, his disbelief mixed with fear."How..." His voice faltered, but Celine swiftly interrupted him, lifting her hand to silence any further words."Are you not familiar with technology?" Irritation laced her tone as she shot him a disdainful look. "We can easily alter our appearances, virtually anything," she laughed, her sigh trailing off. "I never imagined it would be this simple. Removing Elena from your life, creating a rift... it was child's play."She paced about as she circled him while Luca sat still in the middle, his heartbeat quickening the moment.“What did you do to her?” Luca asked calmly.“That’s not my business. I have someone taking care of her. Don't worry, she's perfectly fine," Celine replied, tapping Luca's shoulder. His gaze fixated on her hand, his terror palpable. She noticed his expression and smiled. "I couldn't help but notice how much you've

    Carlos entered the room, finding Elena standing with one hand hidden behind her back. Her demeanor resembled that of a startled kitten, and her gaze met his with a mix of fear and suspicion. Carlos couldn't help but relish the power he held over her, a fact he made evident with a twisted smile. Elena fought to maintain her composure, silently planning her next move. This was her only opportunity, and she couldn't afford to let it slip away.Elena's heart raced, but she concealed her emotions, not letting Carlos see her fear.As he approached her, his presence suffocating the space between them. "Why don’t you just give in? We created magic when we were together,” he drawled, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I wonder what you see in the that loser,” Elena met his gaze, her voice laced with defiance. "At least he's not a deranged maniac like you!" she retorted, her anger seeping through her words.Carlos chuckled. "It's precisely because I'm a maniac that I have you right where I wa

    Andrea's eyes fixated on her, his gaze filled with anticipation as he patiently awaited her conditions. He regarded her with suspicion, sensing an underlying tension in the air."It's simple," Celine began, her voice dripping with a sinister tone. "Either Luca stays here, and you, Andrea, will bear witness to every torment I inflict upon him, in the same manner I did before. Maybe then, I'll consider granting you your freedom. Alternatively, Luca can leave to rescue Elena, but you, Andrea, will be left behind... alone with me." Celine narrowed her eyes at Luca, a malicious smile creeping across her face. "And you won't have the privilege of seeing your father again,or maybe you will,” she added, her words laced with malevolence.Andrea couldn't help but chuckle at her feeble attempt to intimidate him. "That's hardly a threat, Celine. I expected better from you," he replied with a hint of amusement in his voice.Celine's smile widened as she raised the gun, pointing it directly at Andr

    Rio's heart pounded in his chest as he neared the location where Luca was supposedly held captive. Without hesitation, he burst into the cottage, his sole focus on rescuing Luca. However, instead of finding Luca in distress, he was met with a shocking sight. Andrea stood before him, his hands bound and fear etched across his face. Celine, wearing a triumphant smile, stood beside him, a gun aimed at Rio. Celine's eyes narrowed, her anger directed at Andrea. "So you did bring someone, huh? I guess the police are on their way too, you bastard!" she seethed.Confusion and anger coursed through Rio as his gaze shifted between Andrea and Celine. "Where's Luca?" he demanded, desperation and fury lacing his voice. Andrea struggled to speak through the restraints on his mouth, attempting to convey something to Rio.Celine's smile widened with sadistic delight, relishing in Rio's fear. Her gaze darted to him as she spoke with deceitful certainty. "Luca? Oh, he's somewhere you'll never find him,

    Rosa's gaze shifted towards Ryan, her eyes filled with suspicion. "Why are you with my son? Did Celine set you up?" she questioned, her voice laced with concern.Ryan stared back at her, taken aback. "Wait, what?" he responded, his disbelief evident.Without hesitation, Rosa stood up and hurried towards Ryan, grabbing him firmly. "You're her accomplice, aren't you?" she accused, her grip tightening.Ryan struggled to free himself from Rosa's grasp, gently prying her hands away. "Mummy, no! Ryan is a nice person. And Rio too," Robert interjected, rushing to his mother's side. Confusion clouded Rosa's face as she tried to make sense of the situation."They saved me," Robert continued, attempting to explain.Rosa chuckled in disbelief, refusing to accept the fact that Robert had been easily rescued from Celine's clutches. "How is that possible?" she questioned.Interrupting Robert, Rio quickly moved to his side, sensing that allowing the boy to elaborate further might worsen the situatio

    Elena listened intently to the sound of running water, waiting for the right moment to pick up her phone and call Ryan. When he answered, she wasted no time in expressing her frustration."I was expecting you to call," Ryan said as soon as he picked up."Don't give me that nonsense, Ryan," Elena hissed. "What were you doing with Rio earlier? Lovers? Seriously? I had no idea you were gay!" Her incredulity seeped through her words."What? Do you have a problem with gays?""Of course not! But don't change the subject. What were you doing with Rio? How long have you guys known each other?""For a while now," Ryan replied."What!" Elena shouted, checking to see if Luca had finished. "Are you out of your mind? How did you two even meet? Oh my God, Ryan, you're driving me crazy. Haven't we moved past this... this petty revenge?"Ryan scoffed. "I thought I had, but I ended up falling for the enemy, just like you did, Elena. Aren't we both failures?" His voice betrayed a hint of pain.Elena re

    “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

    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?

    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

    “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

    “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
