Theodore POV“What sick game are you trying to play right now!.” I glared at Alexandra, even though I was very much weak.The beating I had received from Alexandra men that night had injured me severely and also My attempt to break free from the ropes, had me seriously bleeding out from my wrist, but I could feel it already getting loose.“You are right, it’s a game that will be played on my terms.” She sneered and pulled out a remote detonator.My pulse quickened as my eyes flew wide open in realization.She chuckled at my reaction.“Your guess is correct Theodore.”“It’s a remote detonator and it has a timer. Right now, all of your family is gathered at the Romano mansion, and a bomb has been planted there, just waiting for me to tick it off.” She concluded with a satisfactory smile.“What!.” Aria exclaimed in panic.“Hey!, This wasn’t our agreement. I told you my dad said out of this!.” Evan raged.She clicked her tongue as she shook her head, feigning pity. “Well Evan, I guess yo

Alexandra POVI groaned painfully as the doctor wrapped the bandage around my arm.“Take these prescribed medications and you will be fine.” He advised and walked away.“Who is he? Do you trust him?.” Evan queried.I nodded. “Dr. Ivan has always been my personal doctor, moreover he was blindfolded while coming here.” He sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration,“So what now?, the AISE are still on your trail, it won’t be long before they..” “They won’t find me.” I cut him off from his rambling.“How are you so sure?, we might be in a different house, but we are still in Corleone. What are we still doing here when we should be leaving instead!.” He grumbled.“Come with me.” I instructed.I led him into the study and walked towards the bookshelf, pushing it backwards and revealing the stairs leading down to the underground.“an underground?.” He exclaimed in shock.I walked down the stairs and he followed suit.“I bought this place immediately I moved to Corleone, just i

Theodore POVPaola fell asleep on my arms and I placed her gently on her bed, placing a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.“Theodore?.” I turned around to see Hernando, in a very disturbed manner.“What happened?.” I asked worriedly.“I just received a call from Damien and the AISE, Rocco is dead, apparently he self strangled himself this morning.” He informed.“Shit.” I cursed, running my hands through my hair.“I can’t believe he killed himself rather than betray Alexandra.” “He was really loyal to her.” He replied.“It doesn’t matter. We are attacking Alexandra today.” I affirmed through gritted teeth.He nodded in agreement.“The AISE is ready–“He was suddenly cut off by Aria loud shriek.She ran towards me with teary eyes.“Theo!!!.” I caught her in my arms.“Hey, hey!, what’s wrong?.” “Becca.. we can’t find her.” She stuttered, with a trembling voice.“What?.” I mumbled with worry.“I went to her room to check up on her but she wasn’t there, then I called Pancho t

Martina POV“No!.” I trashed my dressing table.My heart welled up with so many emotions- Anger, regret, pain.I remembered everything vividly like I was actually reliving it.Walking into the house that night, to see Dad’s bloody head in a box being carried away by the guards I still didn’t want to believe, even though I looked around and literally saw mom’s broken soul. I still tried to convince myself that it wasn’t him, that my eyes were playing tricks with me.But it was very much true, no matter how many times I blinked and looked back into the box, I still saw it.I just couldn’t get the image of his head in that box out of my head.This was definitely Alexandra. Suddenly, an overwhelming anger filled me, I didn’t care about Aria or even Theodore anymore. All the urge I felt to destroy Aria was now doubled and was now focused on Alexandra instead, now more than ever, I need to make her pay for everything she has done to my family.“Martina.” Aria called softly as she entere

Theodore POV“Hey Princess.” I kissed Aria’s forehead gently stirring her awake.I got home late last night after talking with Damien and she had already slept.Her eyes fluttered open slowly and then widened immediately they met mine.“Theo!, you are back.” She squealed, wrapping her arms around me.“Someone missed me.” I teased with a low chuckle.“Of course I did.” She blushed, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Then she bit her lips nervously.“So what did you find out?.” She asked as her eyes glinted with curiosity.I sighed tiredly and explained everything Aunt Agatha told us to her.“Oh my.” She gasped in shock as her face clouded with pity.“Alexandra is really broken.” She mumbled.“Yes, but it doesn’t give her the right to hunt innocent people though.” I argued.“Innocent people I dragged into this mess.” I added with a frown, and looked away in guilt.“Hey.” She turned me so I could face her,“You can’t blame yourself for her actions. They had nothing to do with you.

Luciana POV“Thank you.” I said to the movers that brought in my Sofa and closed the door after they left.I finally moved to my apartment in Milan today, after much stalling. I started having second thoughts at the last minute, maybe because of Simon.No matter how much I try, I can’t shake off that kiss from my mind, I couldn’t deny the chemistry between us and It seemed like he couldn’t either.I shook my head, heaving a deep sigh. I might just be imagining that he felt that way.He was so in love with Aria for a long time, it’s not something he could easily get over. Even if he did, I don’t think I could stand a chance, maybe if I wasn’t the granddaughter of his family’s greatest enemy, things would be easier.I fell on the sofa groaning tiredly. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m here and he’s there, we would never work out, That was the bitter realization and I should get used to it.>I decided to keep myself busy by arranging the apartment, hopefully I get to finish today because

Theodore POVWe finally got to La Morra, it was evening just like Hernando had predicted.Through the address Giovanni gave us, we located Aunt Agatha’s house. It was indeed in a secluded area.I stopped the car and we both got down.Hernando walked over to the backseat to bring out the gift basket we bought for her.“Come on Son.” He beckoned as he walked towards the house.and surprisingly, it didn’t bother me when he called me son, it didn’t repulse me like before. Maybe it’s because of yesterday night.After what happened, I could feel us getting closer and weirdly enough, I loved it.I followed him and we got to the front door. I proceeded to knock but the door creaked open on its own. “Oh.” Hernando shrugged and walked in, I followed suit.We both looked around the house, it did look old, almost falling apart but it felt like it gave her peace.She must really despise her son, if she had to come all the way here from him.“It doesn’t look like we are breaking in right?.” Hernan

Martina POV“Martina?.” Paola called, a smile plastered on her face as she walked towards me. I heaved a deep sigh of relief as I held my chest, I could feel my body moving again.I had such a fright, I thought it was Ma’am Serena.“What are you doing in Ma’am Serena’s room?.” She questioned, tilting her head to the side and twisting her little mouth.“Uh…um, I came to see her, I had a surprise for her.” I lied, stuttering a little.“Surprise?.” She squealed excitedly, I placed my finger over her mouth immediately.“Shh!, you will ruin it.” I chided, the squatted down to her level.“Yes Paola, a surprise, so you can’t tell her I was in here, okay?.” I cajoled gently. she nodded in agreement and then skipped away giddily.I sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door quietly.Now I have to hurry. I rushed towards Hernando’s office, making sure no one was around, I unlocked the door and went in.“Where do I start from now?.” I grumbled, rubbing my chin in confusion.I checked
