Ira watched Olivia in anticipation as she threw angry blows at the punching bag hanging above her.It was frightening to see such a timid and calm girl taking it into the bag. The anger and aggression with each blow were frighteningShe had never seen Olivia with such rage. She was even doing it better than her who had been in the mafia world her entire lifesitting in a corner sipping on the bottle of cold water.Ira was stupefied. Almost shocked. It seemed jealousy and anger went togetherWhenever a woman was jealous, it was dangerous territory. Watching Olivia punch the bag with all her might made her recall something.A certain memory she had buried deep in her. The girl, dressed in red, was doing the same thing Olivia was doing. Venting her anger at the poor punching bag.“Hey, hey… that's enough, “Ira said, having had enough of Olivia torturing herself.“Stay… away,” Olivia said with heavy breaths as she continued hitting the target. Every blow made a sharp impact.“Whose face ar
Olivia was aware that seeing Sydney was risky. However, she couldn't help it. She missed her friend more than anything, Sydney was all alone. Even if she had to go against Pedro, then so be it. “It's nice to have you here, Livia,” Sydney said with a smile. Ira nodded while munching on the snacks Olivia and Sydney were ignoring. “Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be having more frequent outings” Olivia said with a chuckle. After a long time, she felt refreshed. The times she used to talk to Sydney. Both used to go out however they wanted. However, now, she had to pretend to be someone else. The three continued eating and talking about random things. The entire time, Ira kept quiet. She didn't come to chit-chat, but to watch Olivia. Making sure she didn't blow her cover. “I still can't say… I mean, that family is going down… god knows who's trying to end them,” Sydney said with a questionable expression. As much as she wanted the Garcia's to pay. She felt bad for Alfredo. “They deserve i
“A-are you okay… let me see,''Sydney was desperate as she tried to inspect Alfredo's body. Just now, a gunshot fired their way and hit the window of Alfredo's car. Luckily, he got out of the way, ending up falling to the ground. “I'm… I'm fine. Don't…” Alfredo muttered as he pushed himself up and grabbed Sydney's shoulders. “No, did it hit you? Someone help me!” Sydney shouted for help again. The two security men had run to where the gunshots came from. “I'm okay… see, It missed,“ Alfredo said, showing her his chest, Sydney didn't even know how she ripped his shirt apart revealing his upper body. Both were sitting on the ground, inspecting each other. “Are you certain… how are you?” Sydney was in tears as she threw herself in his arms, catching Alfredo off guard. Sitting there with Sydney hugging him as if her life depended on it. Time passed by and Sydney sobbed in Alfredo's arms. Both took their time, Alfredo relaxed as he held Sydney close to him. Letting her calm down before
Olivia expected Solange to show up. Unfortunately, it was her father who showed himself. A refined old man. Well-kept with a shrewd personality. One would say he wasn't old. However, his silver hair showed it all. She guessed the man must have had a fair share of women in his early age, seeing how handsome he was. Despite the few wrinkles on his face. He still had a sharp jaw. Bewitching dark eyes and a striking personality. One would say he, the man, was trying too hard to be a good person. Even in an expensive suit, his protruding belly was visible. “So you are the girl making my daughter cry,” the man said, standing before Olivia. By now, Olivia had gotten hold of his name. The man turned out to be familiar. Although he couldn't recognize her due to the change in their face, however, she still recalled his face perfectly well. “A girl out of nowhere… wanting what my daughter has,” the man remarked shamelessly. Olivia wanted to be free and strangle him to death. Once she saw the m
“You didn't have to do this. It's not like I'm dead,” Alfredo said when Sydney brought him breakfast in bed. He wasn't shot. However, the woman was treating him like a special case. “I know… it's just that I can't let you die without giving me my first salary,” Sydney said and watched him eat. Alfredo gave a helpless smile, “So all this is about money?” “Yeah… I've worked for two weeks … if you die I won't ever get my payment,” Sydney remarked, she felt bad about all this. As much as she wished for the Garcias to pay. It wasn't clear to her why witnessing the scene the previous night made her agitated. Someone tried to shoot Alfredo, just like they did with Luciano. “I'm sure you would have loved it if… I died… that way you would have gotten your revenge,” Alfredo said while eating his food. She made delicious omelets. And pancakes just the way he liked it. It had been a while since he ate good food prepared with love. Silence fell in the room. Sydney swore her breathing could be
Pedro had gotten Olivia safely back to the villa. It had been a long night, but he did his best to make sure she was safe. Jason Philips was a fool to trust him again. After what happened. Pedro was certain. The man would still want to hurt Olivia. “Boss… everything is good,” one of Pedro's men said, handing him two guns. Pedro took the guns and nodded at him. “Go back and burn the warehouse… give Jason a taste of his medicine,” Pedro ordered, and the man nodded with a bow. “And boss, something happened,” the man said hesitantly when Pedro was about to walk back upstairs. “Did something happen?” Pedro asked suspiciously. “It's about well… Mr. Zane tried a murder attempt against Mr. Alfredo Garcia” the man finally said nervously, “Punish him the right way…” Pedro said and made his way to the stairs. Zane was insane to attempt something without asking for permission. Pedro reached Olivia's bedroom door just in time to change her bandages. “You came…” Olivia said and tried to stan
Olivia stepped into the shower. She was feeling a bit bad. However, Pedro had done more than enough to take care of her. The man was cold but caring, for a mafia man, Pedro wasn't so bad. At times, he appeared to be scary. However, with time. She learned that every person has a soft heart. Olivia smiled faintly and finished up her shower. In two days, it will be her parents' death anniversary. She didn't even know if it was a death anniversary, but all she knew was that. In two days it would be her birthday. A year ago, she celebrated her last brother's birthday because now it was the cruel day when her family died, and her child was brutally killed. Her little brother was innocent, Lalo had a bright future ahead of him. The Garcias did all that to hurt her. Olivia sat in her chair in front of the mirror looking at her reflection. She didn't know who she was anymore. There was no more Olivia. She thought one day she would wake up and everything would be a dream, unfortunately tha
“Get away… get away!” Antonia was like a mad woman once she excluded the bathroom from fright and started throwing things around her room…breaking stuff and shouting for help. She didn't stop until the bedroom door opened and Bianca and Alfredo, who heard the noises, rushed in. “Mom! Stop it now!” Alfredo held his mom, stopping her from breaking things around. Bianca called for the servants to help them… Antonia didn't stop shouting and protesting, even when she was shoved on the bed. The two doctors attending to Luciano rushed in to see what was happening. “She… I saw her… she was there… She came” Antonia kept saying. “Mom stop it… please just like down” Alfredo coaxed, not sure what happened to his mom for her to go crazy so suddenly. She was fine a while ago, so now what. “Get out already!” Antonia shouted at the doctors and servants to leave. Out of fear, they stormed out of the room, leaving Bianca and Alfredo sitting on the bed beside their mother. “Mom, what's all this, hu
**Four Years Later**"Mommy, mommy watch me fly!" A little girl's giggles erupted throughout the room. "Sweetie, stop it now!" A woman shouted from afar but the girl didn't stop giggling. "Madam, leave her…kids her age are like this," an elderly lady told the woman beside her who was busy decorating a cake. The woman was dressed in a halter-neck, sleeveless blue dress which hugged her voluptuous figure in the right places. She was nothing but a beauty to behold. Her smile was as charming and serene as the calm waters of the sea. Her long blonde hair cascaded to her in a wavy way."She can hurt herself…she's too much," it was none other than Olivia who said with a frown and continued decorating the cake."It's her fourth birthday… like every year you bake a cake for her…she's lucky to have a caring mother like you," the elderly who was none other than her daughter's nanny said. Her boss was a working class woman. She was always busy with her clients. But when it came to her daughter,
After that dreadful night, many lives were lost. Antonia was arrested for attempted murder. However, she later killed herself in prison after hearing about the death of her two lovely sons. Bianca went crazy after everything. She was admitted to the asylum to get better. “It's been 5 months Pedro…please come back,” Olivia whispered as she ran her hand over the concrete granite with Pedro's name engraved in it. Tears trickled down her face. The despair of not having the man she loved beside her. “I'm five months pregnant…don't you want to see our baby,” she added as her hand shifted to her belly. After all that, she went through. She and Pedro's child survived, but he didn't. She missed him a lot. It didn't feel real that the man she loved more than anything was no more. They didn't get to enjoy each other's company. “Why did you do this…why did you make me love you!” A yell escaped her trembling lips, everything seemed dark. Her life was without colors. Everything was back to norma
The rain stopped immediately as dawn approached. The sun rose at its full peak. The city which always seemed lively was like a dead jungle. No life, like a nightmare. Olivia was still on her knees by the edge of the cliff waiting for the man she loved to come back. Her clothes which had been drenched with both rain and blood had dried up. The police were running to and from retrieving dead bodies and putting them in the ambulance. Ira stood by Olivia, afraid of what to say to her. This was a sad moment for her. The fact that Pedro was no more pained, not just her. Both those who had followed him for years."She needs to come home," Jordan whispered to Ira, it was a shame they showed up when it was too late. But Pedro had ordered them to save Zane and Sydney. Although Zane was shot in the arm, he was recuperating in the hospital. "He has to be here…he isn't…I'll wait for him," she wasn't going to leave until she saw Pedro. Ira and Jordan exchanged glances and knew how painful it was
“You are naive…do you think I'll let this slut go?” Bruce yelled while his men held Luciano down from escaping. Olivia was unconscious and getting hoisted near the cliff while tied up.“You traitor…you killed your brother!” Luciano yelled and tried to get free,. Unfortunately, the men had injected him with something which made him helpless.“Everything…was planned by you…you deceived everyone,” he didn't know there was a devil far more heartless behind Everything. He betrayed Olivia's trust by pretending to love her, only to attempt to kill her and her family. All those years, he was made to believe Olivia's father was responsible for his father's cruel death.“I killed him… I made those inmates torture him…then I sent someone to finish him off” Bruce remarked sarcastically and kicked Luciano in the gut. Despite the pain, Luciano didn't dare show it. Flickering his eyes open, he tried moving toward where Olivia was tied up in midair, but he could. “I hate you…you ruined people's live
Nothing broke Olivia's heart more than seeing her loved ones dying before her eyes. Sydney was in agony, crying as she tried to make sense of what had happened. Alfredo was dead. Despite everything that happened, Olivia was aware of how Sydney felt about him. He was her first love. She still recalled how the two met, Olivia couldn't help but hug Sydney to comfort her."That's enough, don't blame yourself," Olivia whispered and caged Sydney in her arms. However, Sydney was uncontrollably weeping her heart out. Even Zane standing on the sidelines felt his heart ache. Alfredo wasn't a bad guy, he was just born into a family who caused others pain."He saved me…sobs…he…I killed him" Sydney cried her heart out Zane went on his knees and pried her off Olivia. He couldn't take it anymore. "And he doesn't want you to cry like this…pull yourself together," he whispered and planted a kiss on her cheek, with the rain pouring heavily, the scenery was something which broke Olivia's heart."We nee
"Agh! L-let.." Marcos tried to catch his breath but with each breath he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Pedro cradled the man in his arms trying by all means to stop the bleeding on his chest but he couldn't. Blood was oozing out like a fountain. "Stop talking…I'll have my men take you to the hospital," Pedro said knowing he would make sure Marcos was safe, unfortunately, Marcos let out a sarcastic laugh. "L-leave me…it's…it's no point…" even if Pedro managed to destroy the room and rescue him. Marcos knew he wouldn't last a day. He was dead, there was no saving him. "I didn't know, you were so weak," Pedro muttered with a frown and looked around for anyone. He knew his men would arrive. "Save…save my sister…that monster…he has her!" Marcos struggled to voice out the words but ended up coughing out blood. Pedro's brows knitted together. "She'll be fine…let's move," Pedro muttered and prepared to get up when Marcos held his hand. "Don't…I don't have much time…" he said and closed
“Fucking face it…there's no getting out of here!” Alfredo groaned in frustration as he tried to reach for the chains he was tied with, unfortunately with the way he was all tied up. It was impossible even to think.“Says a coward… I'm fucking getting out!” Zane groaned and tried to swing himself, so he could reach the wall but was tied up with chains upside down. It was a bad position. “Says a man who has done more harm than good,” Alfredo scoffed, having no idea why he was trapped with a mafia when he was supposed to be saving Sydney. “What about you, huh? Instead of protecting the woman you claimed to love…you fucking let your pathetic family harm her!” Zane spat out bitterly, his eyes filled with hatred, but Alfredo did care. Sydney has always been in love with him. He did all he could.“You know nothing about us… I'm the man she loves and will always love…she's in all this mess because of you, bloody mafias,” he stood by his words, the night he met Sydney, he fell in love with h
Corina's eyes rolled in ecstasy; she could feel her juices dripping down. Just the sight of Pedro's naked body had her drooling. Touching herself as she crawled on the bed."After tonight…there will be no denying me…my love for you," she whispered and ran her finger from his chest and stopped at his abs."Do you remember…the wild night we had…how dominant and barbaric you…used to be," she leaned down and ran her tongue on his abs. A smirk crept on her face as she watched him struggling. Of course, the drug she gave him rendered him useless….he couldn't move nor talk. He was completely overpowered and not in control."You've always been the one who set my soul on fire," she added and lay on her side. Her hair fell to the sides as she got a better view of Pedro. Scanning his perfectly sculpted body. He was the man, sexy and held power. Such traits he possessed. This was the kind of man she had always desired."My love…we are going to have fun," she muttered and reached her hand for Pe
Corina's eyes flashed with hatred upon hearing what Pedro had to say. After everything, he was insisting on being Olivia. “I love you Pedro…you mean the world to me…why do you insist on being with her!” Corina yelled and grabbed Pedro's shirt. She couldn't take it anymore. She was a beautiful woman, even better than Olivia, so why was he doing this?“Is this… Why you want to see me… I told you…the only woman I love is Olivia,” Pedro shoved her hands away and turned away. His feelings had changed over the past months. He wasn't like this, meeting Olivia, everything changed.“You are lying…wake up, Pedro …she's not the one for me… I'm stronger than her…we…we make a good couple,” Corina was irritated to know Pedro didn't want her. It was the middle of the night. All she wanted was to be with Pedro.“I thought you had something sensible to tell me…but I can see you are still mentally ill,” Pedro remarked, keeping Corina at arm's length. She called him saying she had an idea of the main m
