Chapter 49Angelo was tensed and restless since he heard Eva's panicked voice on the phone.He was already having a bad day and wasn't expecting the day to get more messier.As they drove, his eyes were wide, observing the routes she was talking about. This was the time when his head was a little bit settled, and then he quickly brought out his phone and dialed a number.Dominic.Where the hell was he?He should be at the house by now, he thought. He so badly wanted to know what exactly had happened that made Eva taken.How did it happen? He had arranged the best security in the mansion. His, as well as Don Massimo's guards, all for her protection.This was exactly what he had feared. What the Don was trying to avoid.But, in Peru?How had this happened?He flung the phone to the front of the car, with so much force it hit the wheel, the driver almost jumping out in fright.Dominic's cell was not connecting, and he was so confused.All of a sudden, Angelo froze.He had left Eva in t
CHAPTER 50Dominic followed the doctor to his office with his phone on his ear, trying to reach Angelo.Time and time again, his number was not connecting, and his brows kept furrowing.He clenched his fists as he tried again, oblivious to his surroundings as he walked.Some of Angelo's men were lounging in the hospital halls, worried sick as they stood on guard in different spots..for Eva.But Dominic didn't seem to notice them. His gaze was fixed on his phone as he kept trying to reach Angelo.“Come on in," the doctor called out as he stepped into his office.Dominic raised a head, phone still in his ear, as he stepped into the spacious office.Just then, their call connected, and he raised a hand, excusing himself he stepped back out of the office.“We have a problem, Boss. A big one.." he began.But instead of Angelo's voice at the other end, it was something else.“Boss…?” Dominic's expression turned sour as he stared at the phone for a moment.He placed the phone close to his ea
The moment Dominic opened the door to Elena's ward, he froze. The lights were completely out, and he could feel a layer of dread settle over him. He reached to the wall for the switch, but couldn't find it. But he was sure what he was seeing on the mattress. Nothing. No Elena. "What the fuck!"He made his way into the room and grabbed the sheets on the mattress, his jaw clenching in fury.In a moment of sheer panic and confusion, he darted out of the room. At the same time, the lights came on.Only for him to bump into someone on his way out."I am sorry, Sir...I.."On recognizing the voice, Dominic raised his head to take a look at the person. He blinked sharply realizing it was one of Angelo's men. "Oh, good gracious! Have you seen the Boss's girl? Elena? Have you seen her?" He asked in a breath."What? No, I haven't...isn't she in?""She isn't!" Dominic gritted out as he made his way past him. His fists were clenched, as he stomped his way down the halls.Suddenly he paused an
FEW MINUTES EARLIER Eva stood beside Elena's bed, with a sinister expression on her face. She pursed her lips as she stared at her, lying still on the bed. The machines were off at this point due to the blackout, and she was damn sure she might not last long, depending on whatever she was being administered.She smirked as she recalled the way she had meticulously planned for the meal. She had made her research on what Elena likes, and was damns her she was gonna eat it.How foolish of her?Eating a meal without question, and thoughtfulness. But then, she had planned it so well that even the smart might not have detected it.Eva had risked her life in a way, just to be on this trip with Angelo. She hated the fact that he had her by his side and the thought irked her so much.It wouldn't if she hadn't noticed the way Angelo looked at her, as well as observed the way he had been with her for the short time she'd watched them together.Angelo was hers. Hers alone.This girl before had
CHAPTER 53Klaus was buttoning up his shirt, as the girls sauntered away with smiles on their faces. He had pleasured them well and they had as well, but now, he needed to take care of something more important. Ken, his man stood before him, as he informed, "We had an extra someone. Figured she would be a great tool as well as she was on our way."Klaus raised a brow at that, as he grabbed the bottle of wine and poured it into a glass."Really? Who could that be? Anyone I know?" He was intrigued, but not as much as he was delighted that he finally had Angelo's girl in his claws.Before his man, Ken could reply though, a movement was heard and some other men of his were dragging a rather struggling girl into his space.Ken moved out of the way while Klaus tilted his head, as they came in front of him.His eyes brightened as they settled on her. Eva.Then the corners of his lips pulled up in a sadistic smile."Well, well, well. If it isn't the Princess of the great Don himself. How w
Back at the club, Klaus was staring at Eva, who was still standing before him with the bounds on her. There was a look in her eyes that he had observed earlier, which made him frown deeply. He walked over to her and then snatched the tape out of her mouth, as well as the bind on her hands."Argh!!" Eva released a sigh, her shoulders hunching."Have something to say, sweetheart?" Klaus asked as he ran a hand along her face. She snatched her face away, but he grabbed it and held on to it tight. "You will look at me when I talk to you unless you want me to bury a bullet in your head, princess." He spat out.Eva glared at him, "I am not the one you need. What sort of foolish game is this? Do you even have any idea what you are bringing upon yourself by taking me hostage? My father will come for you, you moro... ugh..."Klaus' hand on her neck caught off the words from her mouth.Eva's hand reached up, her eyes wide, as she gasped for breath. He was choking her, with a furious glint in
"Get the fuck over here!" Angelo yelled at his driver. He was leaning on his car, which had bullet holes all over it, and he clutched at his right arm, which dripped with blood. His driver, on the other hand, was barely conscious, but there was no one around. They were suddenly attacked by unknown men, but Angelo wasn't a fool to not know who they were. But his driver was severely injured, and could hardly move an inch. He just kept groaning as he clutched at his leg, breathing heavily. He had received a call from Dominic earlier. But he was not able to give him their location as he was suddenly shot. But Dominic had Informed him of the current situation. The driver, Jovan, made to speak, but blood only spurted out of his mouth. He needed to inform the Boss that his girl was missing, as per Dominic's orders, but as he tried to get the words out, he only ended up coughing out blood. Angelo, on the other hand, was worried out of his head. He knew very well that something was wro
Chapter 58"What's that, Dominic?" Angelo suddenly asked as they drove. He was in a lot of pain, but it was not something new to him, due to his what he does.He had been curious. Something else was at the forefront of his mind, something he was also utterly confused about. He knew it couldn't be, but he also wanted to be sureDominic, who was sitting at the front, paused what he was doing, and stared at Angelo through the rearview, "What, Boss?"Angelo pursed his lips, and his brows creased, "That...." He then shook his head and asked instead, "What were you saying earlier? Is she..is she really... pregnant?"He didn't wanna believe it at first and had made him not talk about it. But it didn't wanna leave his mind ever since, and he really needed to know."Yes," Dominic replied curtly, "The doctor said so. He was informing me about it before I noticed she was missing.""Hmmm" Angelo rubbed a hand on his jaw, "And what the fuck was that she ate again!?""Pasta," Dominic shrugged, "It
Chapter 98 (Epilogue)The warehouse buzzed with activity as Angelo inspected the latest shipment of goods. His sharp eyes scanned the inventory, ensuring everything was accounted for.Though his business dealings required constant attention, his thoughts often wandered to Elena, who was now eight months pregnant. He had spent the past weeks ensuring everything was perfect for her and their baby.As he signed off on the documents handed to him by one of his men, his phone rang. It was his trusted right-hand man, Marco.“Boss,” Marco’s voice was urgent. “It’s Elena. She’s gone into labor. They’ve taken her to the hospital.”Angelo froze for a moment, his pen slipping from his fingers. His heart pounded in his chest. “I’m on my way,” he said quickly, already moving toward his car.The drive to the hospital felt like the longest journey of his life. Every red light and slow driver grated on his nerves. Angelo’s thoughts raced. He worried about Elena, about the baby, and whether he’d mak
Chapter 97The sun had just begun to rise, casting a warm, golden glow across the private villa. The soft sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard from the open windows, filling the room with a serene melody.Elena stirred, her eyes fluttering open to find herself wrapped in Angelo’s arms. His grip was firm but gentle, his breathing steady against her neck.She turned slightly, watching him sleep. The sharp edges of his face softened in rest, and for the first time in a while, he looked entirely at peace. A faint smile tugged at her lips.“Watching me again, Mrs. Fabian?” Angelo’s voice was husky with sleep, and his eyes remained closed as he spoke.Elena chuckled softly. “I can’t help it. You’re too handsome when you’re not scowling at someone.”He opened one eye, his lips quirking into a smirk. “If I’d known marriage would make you so cheeky, I might have married you sooner.”She laughed, her cheeks warming. “Good morning, Mr. Fabian.”“Good morning,” he murmured, p
Chapter 96Dominic woke up to the soft hum of machines and the sterile scent of antiseptics filling his room. His condition was wore than any other person and so he had a lot of antiseptics being inserted into him.His body felt heavy, but his mind was alert. As he blinked into the harsh room light, he noticed a familiar figure sitting in the corner.Angelo!"You're finally awake," Angelo said, his tone even, though his sharp eyes betrayed his tension.Dominic attempted to sit up, wincing at the dull ache in his ribs. "How long was I out?" he croaked."Long enough," Angelo replied. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "You’ve caused a lot of trouble, Dominic."Dominic looked down, guilt weighing on him. He had known the risks of his decisions, but he hadn’t anticipated how far the fallout would spread. "I didn’t mean for things to go this way," he said.Angelo shook his head. "Intentions don’t erase actions." He stood up, towering over Dominic’s bed. "You need to leave
Chapter 95Angelo had also brought Eva back home. He carried her to one of the spare rooms and laid her gently on the bed.He didn’t know why he still bothered about her, maybe it was the remnants of the past they shared, or perhaps it was the exhaustion from the endless betrayals that seemed to have happened around him in just a short span of time.Whatever it was, he couldn’t bring himself to leave her at Klaus's domain, they would roast her alive and he did not want that for her.When he returned from his session with Klaus, he had decided to check on her. The house was quiet, the weight of the day pressing down on him as he climbed the stairs. He opened the door to her room and found her still asleep, her face soft and relaxed, like she didn’t have a care in the world. For a moment, he stood there, watching her. She looked so innocent in her sleep, and yet the chaos she had caused flashed in his mind.He pulled the nearest seat close to himself and sat beside the bed watching her
Chapter 94Angelo had finally succeeded in bringing both Elena and Dominic back home after the stressful ordeal with Klaus.He made sure they were both receiving treatment—Dominic for his injuries and Elena for her injuries as well as the trauma she had faced, but refused to take any treatment himself. He had too much work to do in the next two hours to rest. His mind was running on a dangerous mission, focusing on one thing only: Klaus.For the mean time, he settled for a quick first-aid treatment. His wounds were fresh, but he knew that if he didn’t take care of them, they would get infected. Angelo couldn't afford that right now. His body ached, but his mind was sharp and focused on the task at hand.Once he finished bandaging his wounds, Angelo grabbed his jacket, grabbed a cigarette from his pocket, and left the safe confines of his home. He drove in silence, the cool wind from the night blowing in through the window of his car. He had to make sure Klaus was still alive and then
Chapter 93Angelo was so disappointed in his men. His heart sank as he stared at the chaos his men had allowed to happen in his absence.He had left to save Dominic, only to return and find Klaus and Eva tearing everything apart.Before he could make sense of the situation, Klaus ambushed him, holding Elena hostage to force his surrender. She stood there, her face pale, her arms pinned behind her by one of Klaus's men. Angelo’s blood boiled at the sight, but he knew he couldn’t risk Elena’s life.“Angelo,” Klaus had said with a wicked grin, “be smart for once. Surrender, or you’ll watch her suffer.”Angelo had no choice as he raised his hands in defeat, he allowed Klaus’s men to drag him forward. The sharp blow to the back of his neck came faster than he could react.The world went black.*****Angelo’s mind wandered as he stirred back into consciousness. The last thing he remembered was Klaus’s men dragging him away, the sting of a blow to the back of his neck knocking him out cold.
Chapter 92Dominic, on the other hand, was planning how he would save both Elena and Angelo. He knew there was no time to waste, and so he brought all the men together, his men and Angelo's men and they began to plan how they will rescue them."I called us out here because we were in trouble. A rat has entered into our cabinet unnoticed and has begun eating into us. We have been blind not to notice it but we will not remain blind." He addressed them." Do we know where our boss is?" He asked and everywhere was silent." He is being held captive by Theo. A baby Mafia. Someone who acem into this business just a few years ago. And we allow him to walk over us with those baby feet of his?" He charged and all the men gasped in disbelief." Why did we let him go alone? Why didn't we follow boss? This is an insult!" One of the men said. " He gave strict orders that no one should follow him and did not leave any information on where he was headed." Another defended and they all murmured ohh
Chapter 91When Angelo got to Theo's territory in his car, he sat the guns on the window of the car with one hand and began shooting at any alive thing he saw while his other hand drove the car in a around the province.Theo's men were seen running for their lives as most were wounded and about thirty of them dead with just one gun. Theo knew what Angelo was capable of especially since it had to do with his fiancee and so he sent more men out after Dominic left and his precautions weren't taking for granted as he ended up killing thirty of them while the rest escaped heavily wounded.After the massive killing, Angelo came out of his car and stood infront of the massacre of dead bodies he had made in three minutes. He hung his roll of bullets around his body and held his two guns intact in both hands as he approached the gate.There was no one to stop him as he had killed almost all of them. He stepped into the gate and stood still looking at the huge story building and waiting for the
Chapter 90Klaus paced around the room angrily as he tried to process the information he had just heard.In the next minute, he picked up the drinking glass that Eva was using to drink wine and flung it across the room in anger while Eva jerked from the sudden collision of the glass with the wall.She just sat there on the couch, her head down as she cowered away from this angry version of him as she pulled on the roots of her hair in frustration.Why he was angry was what she did not understand. Elena was the enemy after all."I still don't understand why you are angry. I just..." She stopped talking when Klaus turned his blazing eyes in her direction."You don't understand? I thought we were working together, Eva? Why, then, will you take such a rash step and make such a decision without informing me first?" He queried with eyes blazed in anger." Why will you put a bomb in the car and kill her? She had use, great use, and potential in bringing out plans to success." Klaus told her
