Chapter 83In the clubhouse, Elena's father lay on the floor, breathing heavily and still tied up to his chair as he lay shivering on the ground.It was obvious he was weak and in pain as he kept pleading for the lady to stop putting her bullets in his body."Hold on! If you are not Elena, who are you?" He asked amidst his pain, still trying to make sure he understood why she looked so much like his daughter.The lady laughs and watches him closely with a smile, wondering why he was worried about that.She had ordered that his men be taken away, leaving just the both of them in the bar, and yet all he could ask was how she looked so much like his daughter. The same daughter he had not been able to bring down here in the hours of grace she had graciously given to him."If I were you, I would bother more about myself than with things that have no usefulness to you." She muttered while staring down at his almost paralyzed body.She had shot him on his right toes and two fingers in four h
Chapter 84"Who are you!?" She asked as she lay on her bed staring at Dominic, who was at the door.Dominic's eyes widened in shock as he processed her question. He stood there, frozen, before speaking in a cautious tone, "You're joking, right?" His expression turned serious as he stepped closer, his voice laced with concern, "Did you... perhaps lose your memory?"She shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips as she composed herself. "Maybe," she said with a hint of mischief, "but I was just kidding. Come on in." Dominic's gaze lingered on her, his eyes searching. Dominic strolled to the bed which she lay and sat beside her. He quietly brushed a strand of her hair."I was so scared." He said softly as he stared into her eyes. "I thought... I was afraid I had lost you." He added while she just looked at him with big bulgy eyes.In the next minute, before she knew it, he had pulled her close to himself and held her softly before he began to kiss her.Dominic kissed her with so
Chapter 85Angelo was quietly making a call in his office when the door suddenly opened and he turned to see who dared to open his door without knocking.Only one person was permitted to do that, Elena. And she was bedridden at the moment, so he wondered who had decided to Taste his patience this hot afternoon.His mouth widened a bit in surprise when his eyes met with the figure at the door. The same Elena stood there, clad in nothing but a lingerie.Even to his surprise, he still felt himself getting aroused as he stared over her body lustfully. He totally forgot he was on a call when the door opened."Hello!" The voice at the other end called."Mr Angelo, are you with me? Are you hearing me?"" Mr Angelo!"" Hello!"But there was no response whatsoever from Angelo's end as he couldn't believe that Elena, who had just been shot and was receiving treatment when he left her, was the same person standing at the door in a sexy lingerie.He brought down the phone slowly and watched her w
Chapter 86Elena opened her eyes slowly as she tried to understand why her environment smelt dusty and stuffy. She finally opened her eyes to find herself enclosed in a space. A streak of light seeped in from a hole in the wall.It took her a few minutes to realize that the room she was in was moving, before she could understand what was going on, it came to a sudden halt.She could feel that her light clothing had become soaked with her sweat as she tried to find a way out of the heat. When her legs hit the walls she saw, they resounded in her ears unlike normal walls would and she felt her heart miss its beat and adrenaline kicked in.The dizziness that seemed to have covered her eyes immediately dissipated, and she looked around her environment with clearer eyes, it took her a minute to realize she was in the back of a van.All along, she had been using her eyes to study her environment and had not thought to sit up, but now that the thought occurred to her, it dawned on her that s
Chapter 87"You will not speak unless spoken to in my house. Do you get that? " The tattooed man thundered into Elena's ears, and she nodded in fear.She was trembling but tried so hard not to show her weakness. Instead, she lifted killer eyes to Theo and glared at him in a way that sent the message that he was not safe from her in any way.A few weeks ago, Dominic had made a deal with Theo on her behalf. The deal had required him not to touch her again or abduct her for any reason, but here he was breaking his end of the deal and doing just what he had signed not to do. Why he was doing it was what she couldn't understand. And now, here is this tattooed man threatening her just because this was his house. She just wished she could suddenly attack Theo and scratch out his eyes for betraying them. After all, Dominic had paid him on her behalf."Why are you looking at me like you want to kill me?" Theo asked laughing."Hold on! You didn't think I would let you go after you finally succ
Chapter 88Angelo sat on his study room couch where Elena had left him, saying she'd be back soon, and watched the door quietly. He was worried without even knowing the source of his worry. He knew something was off with Elena but couldn't just place his finger on what exactly it was."Hey!" Her voice suddenly brought him out of his thoughts and he wondered how long he had been out for."What's towing over your mind from thinking about me?" She asked as she stood by the door, one hand on it and the other on her waist. Angelo couldn't help but notice that she had worn a nightie cover all over the lingerie she had left with."It's still you. I'm just worried about you. One minute, you were on the hospital bed, and the next, you were standing by my door looking all sexy and attractive." Angelo said as he readjusted himself on the large couch he sat on which Elena smiled weirdly and began walking towards me."I'm fine. Trust me. You shouldn't worry about me when I'm strong and hearty in f
Chapter 89Dominic watched the CCTV camera at the shop the second time, his heart beating as if he had been running in a race. When the video stopped at a spot where Elena was being rolled out of the ambulance and someone else who looked exactly like her was taking her place, his heart skipped, and he held his breath.He was right all along. That lady was too direct to be his Elena.He paused there and magnified the picture to see the faces of the men present. They all had their faces covered except one whose face cover seemed to have shifted off his face when he was trying to roll Elena out of the ambulance.He expanded the face, hoping it would be a familiar one as it was the only lead he had to where Elena was. Luckily for him, it was a familiar face. He was very sure he had seen this face somewhere and as he kept looking at the picture, it finally struck him.Theo!This was one of Theo's men, and he was sure because he had a very naughty experience with the bald huge man.The bast
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
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?
