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. โIt's nice to have you here, Livia,โ Sydney said with a smile. Ira nodded while munching on the snacks Olivia and Sydney were ignoring. โDon't worry, I'm sure we'll be having more frequent outingsโ 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. โI still can't sayโฆ I mean, that family is going downโฆ god knows who's trying to end them,โ Sydney said with a questionable expression. As much as she wanted the Garcia's to pay. She felt bad for Alfredo. โThey deserve i
โA-are you okayโฆ 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. โI'mโฆ I'm fine. Don'tโฆโ Alfredo muttered as he pushed himself up and grabbed Sydney's shoulders. โNo, did it hit you? Someone help me!โ Sydney shouted for help again. The two security men had run to where the gunshots came from. โI'm okayโฆ see, It missed,โ 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. โAre you certainโฆ how are you?โ 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. โSo you are the girl making my daughter cry,โ 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. โA girl out of nowhereโฆ wanting what my daughter has,โ the man remarked shamelessly. Olivia wanted to be free and strangle him to death. Once she saw the m
โYou didn't have to do this. It's not like I'm dead,โ Alfredo said when Sydney brought him breakfast in bed. He wasn't shot. However, the woman was treating him like a special case. โI knowโฆ it's just that I can't let you die without giving me my first salary,โ Sydney said and watched him eat. Alfredo gave a helpless smile, โSo all this is about money?โ โYeahโฆ I've worked for two weeks โฆ if you die I won't ever get my payment,โ 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. โI'm sure you would have loved it ifโฆ I diedโฆ that way you would have gotten your revenge,โ 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. โBossโฆ everything is good,โ one of Pedro's men said, handing him two guns. Pedro took the guns and nodded at him. โGo back and burn the warehouseโฆ give Jason a taste of his medicine,โ Pedro ordered, and the man nodded with a bow. โAnd boss, something happened,โ the man said hesitantly when Pedro was about to walk back upstairs. โDid something happen?โ Pedro asked suspiciously. โIt's about wellโฆ Mr. Zane tried a murder attempt against Mr. Alfredo Garciaโ the man finally said nervously, โPunish him the right wayโฆโ 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. โYou cameโฆโ 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
โGet awayโฆ get away!โ Antonia was like a mad woman once she excluded the bathroom from fright and started throwing things around her roomโฆbreaking stuff and shouting for help. She didn't stop until the bedroom door opened and Bianca and Alfredo, who heard the noises, rushed in. โMom! Stop it now!โ Alfredo held his mom, stopping her from breaking things around. Bianca called for the servants to help themโฆ 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. โSheโฆ I saw herโฆ she was thereโฆ She cameโ Antonia kept saying. โMom stop itโฆ please just like downโ 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. โGet out already!โ 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. โMom, what's all this, hu
โHow come, this is a joke, right?โ Alfredo was in disbelief, there was something huge going on. Everything was falling apart. โI'm afraid this is badโฆ the factory blew up in flames, โLuciano's trusted manager said, lowering his gaze. Alfredo slammed his fist on the table, causing a loud sound. Which had the man trembling. โDidโฆ did you find out who did it?โ he asked, narrowing his eyes into slits, something was happening right under his nose. And Alfredo was shaken. His family was in chaos. The media were going on about accusing them of all sorts of things. โFor now I have the team investigating the matterโฆ within this week I'll find out the main culprit,โ the man said. He was loyal to the Garcia's. His boss Luciano had been generous to him. The fact that Luciano's hard work was threatened bothered him. โKeep me posted. I want the culprit behind barsโฆ it seems they are daring usโ Alfredo said sternly. He knew the same people who shot Luciano, stoned his mom, sent his sister to ja
**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 herโฆkids 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 herselfโฆshe's too much," it was none other than Olivia who said with a frown and continued decorating the cake."It's her fourth birthdayโฆ like every year you bake a cake for herโฆshe'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. โIt's been 5 months Pedroโฆplease come back,โ 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. โI'm five months pregnantโฆdon't you want to see our baby,โ 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. โWhy did you do thisโฆwhy did you make me love you!โ 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 hereโฆhe isn'tโฆI'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
โYou are naiveโฆdo you think I'll let this slut go?โ Bruce yelled while his men held Luciano down from escaping. Olivia was unconscious and getting hoisted near the cliff while tied up.โYou traitorโฆyou killed your brother!โ Luciano yelled and tried to get free,. Unfortunately, the men had injected him with something which made him helpless.โEverythingโฆwas planned by youโฆyou deceived everyone,โ 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.โI killed himโฆ I made those inmates torture himโฆthen I sent someone to finish him offโ 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. โI hate youโฆyou 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 meโฆsobsโฆheโฆI 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 thisโฆpull 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 talkingโฆI'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 meโฆit'sโฆit's no pointโฆ" 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. "Saveโฆsave my sisterโฆthat monsterโฆhe has her!" Marcos struggled to voice out the words but ended up coughing out blood. Pedro's brows knitted together. "She'll be fineโฆlet's move," Pedro muttered and prepared to get up when Marcos held his hand. "Don'tโฆI don't have much timeโฆ" he said and closed
โFucking face itโฆthere's no getting out of here!โ 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.โSays a cowardโฆ I'm fucking getting out!โ 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. โSays a man who has done more harm than good,โ Alfredo scoffed, having no idea why he was trapped with a mafia when he was supposed to be saving Sydney. โWhat about you, huh? Instead of protecting the woman you claimed to loveโฆyou fucking let your pathetic family harm her!โ 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.โYou know nothing about usโฆ I'm the man she loves and will always loveโฆshe's in all this mess because of you, bloody mafias,โ 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 tonightโฆthere will be no denying meโฆmy love for you," she whispered and ran her finger from his chest and stopped at his abs."Do you rememberโฆthe wild night we hadโฆhow dominant and barbaric youโฆused 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 uselessโฆ.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 loveโฆwe 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. โI love you Pedroโฆyou mean the world to meโฆwhy do you insist on being with her!โ 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?โIs thisโฆ Why you want to see meโฆ I told youโฆthe only woman I love is Olivia,โ 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.โYou are lyingโฆwake up, Pedro โฆshe's not the one for meโฆ I'm stronger than herโฆweโฆwe make a good couple,โ 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.โI thought you had something sensible to tell meโฆbut I can see you are still mentally ill,โ Pedro remarked, keeping Corina at arm's length. She called him saying she had an idea of the main m
