"Who's there?" Amora asked panicking as the sound on the door persisted, Amora's voice trembled,"It's me, Camila," Camila's voice sounded,"Amora, please open the door. I know you’re in there, alone and grieving. I’m so sorry for the way I treated you, for not supporting you when you needed me the most. I acted selfishly and without consideration. I...I just want to make things right. I betrayed your trust. I..." Her voice trailed off as she fixed her gaze on her phone, watching Amora and Eduardo as they scramble out of the bed, forcing their clothes on.Amora hastily ushered Eduardo into the closet, "Stay hidden in there until I say it’s safe."Amora breathed out as she closed the closet door panting,Camila smiled watching Amora approach the door, she put away her phone immediately, "Amora, I can't even begin to express how deeply sorry I am for not being there for you as a friend. I betrayed your trust, and I understand if you can never forgive me, but I am truly remorseful."Amora
"Antonio is...is dead," Amora stammered , "Does that mean I am free from him now?" Amora queried, her gaze never wavering from the TV screen,"Amora, you need to calm down, okay?" Eduardo replied, his arms instinctively moving to encircle her, "I will need to leave now and go find out what's actually going on,"Amora's hand grasped his tightly, "Eduardo," she called, "I know this sounds callous, but if you find him barely clinging to life, I want you to finish him off. I want him gone from this world.""Amora..." he managed, his voice tremulous with shock."I don't want him to live. I don't want him to take another breath," she declared, fighting against the tears welling in her eyes. "I want his family, Miss Vittoria, Camila, Maya, everyone, to mourn his passing." She stared into Eduardo's eyes, "I don't care about Antonio anymore, please do this for me?"Eduardo’s words faltered, his hand quaking with trepidation, Antonio can't...Antonio…” he stammered,Amora pushed him away, "Le
“Antonio! Antonio!” Vittoria cried, her eyes wide with fear as she sought refuge behind her father..Camila hid behind the men, her petite frame vanishing from view.Antonio’s eyes flitted around the room, his gaze burning with a cold, calculating fury, “So, you really wanted me dead?” he said, a glacial smirk curling across his features.“You killed my parents,” he seethed, his voice hard and bitter. “You took everything my father owned from him. You're a monster! And you forced me to marry your daughter!”"And yet, despite your supposed mistreatment, you’re alive and well,” Buccolini retorted, “I made you into the man you are today. Rich, powerful, influential. All because of me.”“And don’t you forget it,” he spat, “Your father brought this on himself.”“Oh, the irony of it all,” he sneered, “Says the man who almost killed his son-in-law! Did you think I wouldn’t realize you had it in you to kill me? I just didn’t expect you to do it so quickly, considering I’m the father of your g
"Camila," Mr. Francesco called, "What are you doing here?" He asked deepening his frown, Camila swept her gaze around the room until she settled her eyes on Donatus. “Fancy meeting you here,” she mused, “I seem to remember seeing you with Vittoria once. What are you doing here with Mr. Francesco?" “Camila...” Francesco started, She interrupted, “Does your daughter know?” she purred, “Camila, you still haven’t answered my question. How did you find your way here and why are you here?”“Oh, Francesco,” She said and ushered herself into a seat, “You should be worrying about your own life, not questioning mine. After you had me beaten so viciously that I barely recognized myself, you think I’m here to chat?" Francesco leaned forward, his gaze fixed on Camila, “If you didn’t come to chat, then why are you here?”“I came for a very specific reason. I want something from you,” she said, smirking deviously. Francesco frowned, “What could you possibly want from me?”"I want you to marry
"Amora, what are you saying?” Eduardo asked, his voice a mixture of confusion and apprehension. "Amora you..." “Let’s get married,” Amora repeated smiling, “This is the only way we can truly start our lives together, free from the constraints of our past.” "Amora…" he attempted to interject, She cut her off, "I made you rush here to see me, even though you have other obligations," Amora declared, "I needed to speak with you about this.""Amora..." "During the last few days, I’ve concocted a plan, regardless of whether Antonio survives or perishes. My goal is to gain employment in Antonio’s company, or if that fails, at Vittoria’s. I stumbled upon a card Vittoria bestowed upon me months prior, a card that might prove to be a secret weapon in my plans. Yet, before I delve into that, I must repair my fractured relationship with my father." "Antonio did not die," he revealed, "He was not aboard the ill-fated jet nor did he travel elsewhere. It appears he has survived whatever calamit
"Camila?" The mere mention of Camila’s name transformed Antonio’s expression, his sneer reflecting the disdain that coursed through him. "So it's true?" he growled, his brows knitting together in anger. "You work for me, as my own secretary, and yet you have the audacity to call me?""I don't know why you hate me so much but I think we really need to meet right now if you want to save your Amora..."Antonio cut the conversation short with a single, sharp tap to end the call.Pivoting from one call to the next, his fingers danced over the keypad with ferocity as he dialled Eduardo’s number. "I toid you to get Camila for me?! Did you do that!!!" he roared, "Sir?!" Eduardo replied, fumbling over his words in confusion, "I...""You what? There's one of the few things I asked you to do, find Camila and bring her to me!" he seethed, the call ending with a harsh click.Amora’s attention shifted to Eduardo as the phone left his ear, "Who was that? Antonio?" she inquired, her brow furrowing
"Camila, I think your time is up," Eduardo said as he pressed the cold nuzzle of the gun to Camila's skull watching as she dropped the phone to the floor gently taking in the men that surrounded her calmly, She let out a slight chuckle and felt the nuzzle of the gun as it pressed further into her skin, she frowned, panic settling in on her quietly,"Stand up and get moving, I think your cup is full for now," Eduardo said, "I said stand up!" He raged while she trembled up to her feet and headed out while Eduardo followed at a close distance, "Eduardo," she started, her voice panicking, "Do you think being this way will save you from the wrath of Antonio?" "Keep moving isn't the same thing as keep talking, you won't want to start bleeding before we get to our destination," Eduardo spat out with disdain, Camila swallowed and let herself be bundled into the waiting car, they drove off, Eduardo's eyes keeping a close tab on her, "Eddie I..."He interrupted, "Don't say a word to me.
"What the heck do you think you are doing here Vittoria?" Antonio asked with a slight frown pushing her away and standing to his feet, "What strings are you trying to pull?" "Antonio...I know....I understand...I know what I did, what my father doesn't make sense at all but...can't you cut us some slack for the sake of our kids?" Antonio bore his eyes into hers with disgust, she exhaled loudly drifting closer towards him, "Antonio, I realize my father’s actions are indefensible, but for the sake of our children, can you show leniency?"Antonio scoffed, "Our kids?" he repeated, contempt in every syllable. "And since when did you care about them, hmm?""I've always had a heart, Antonio. I've tried my best to prioritize our family," She flickered her gaze towards Eduardo who was still standing in a daze, "Unlike some people you're keeping too close in your life," she said pointedly."Who I keep close and who I don't keep close, is none of your business, you're the least person I want
"What do you mean by meeting the kids?" She asked while Antonio slid his arm around her back, "Isn't that what you've always wanted? To meet my kids, I think they would love to meet you,"She pushed him away, "No Antonio, I don't think your children will like to see me." "So how are we going to do it? You so much boasted about being my wife or aren't you ready to marry me again? Did you change your mind?" She furrowed her brows, "Antonio, What's wrong with you this evening? Why are you being so cheeky?" "Cheeky?" He asked, "But I don't think I'm being cheeky anyways," he pulled out a ring box from his coat pocket, "I didn't put out a grand party," he continued while she gasped out, "I didn't even do it the proper way but let's spend the rest of our lives together Amora. Be my light, be the mother of my children, be everything I can ever ask for Amora," She beamed, "Well, get down on your knee first, let's see if I'm going to forgive you for proposing to me so casually,"Antonio
Arhhhh!!!" Camila screamed, "My leg! My leg!!""Keep quiet and do as I asked you, apologise to her for every wrong you've done against her, take the phone," Camila swallowed, suppressing her pain, "Hello Camila, why are you calling me? You wanna know if your plan worked out or not? Well, I'm glad to say that it failed since I'm still alive and breathing. I told you Antonio will choose me and guess what? I'm pregnant again and this time, we're going to keep it...""Amora, I'm sorry." Camila interrupted, "I'm sorry for everything I did to you. For the lies and deceit. I'm very sorry." She mumbled biting her lower lips, the nuzzle of the gun on her head pressed to her skull, "I was just jealous, you had everything while I didn't have any. I just...I thought...I thought I'm doing the right thing by pursuing my own happiness," "Camila," Amora's soft voice flowed into the phone, "Why are you speaking like this? Are you deceiving me again?" "Well, I just needed to tell you this now befor
"Divorce papers!!" Vittoria gasped turning to look at her father, she hung up her phone, "Dad, Antonio has finally served me with divorce papers!" She screamed before she ran out, heading for home, She came into the house, "Dad says that when you come back, you can meet him at his lawyer's office," Mateo said as she searched frantically for Antonio around the house. She stopped and beckoned to him, "Sit down," she said while Mateo sat staring into his mother's agitated face, She folded her arms across her chest, "Guards," she called while a guard ran into the room, "Fetch Enzo and Tina here," she said while the guard ran off to do as he was told. She paced across the room, she dug her hands into her hair until she heard, "Mom, you are looking for me?" It was Tina, she turned around regarding her with her eyes before she nodded,"Take a seat," her eyes fell on Enzo who was tailing behind Tina, "Sit down Enzo," she said before whipping her hair around to avoid them from covering he
"What news?" Buccolini asked before he signalled to the bodyguard, "Get my tablet!" He said while the bodyguard came close with his tablet, "Go online," Buccolini ordered while the bodyguard did as he asked. "Sir," the bodygaurd who have been silenced earlier pulled forward, "The Buccolini's shareholders and stockholders are filing a petition against you..." Buccolini raised his hand to halt him in the air as he ran his eyes through the contents on his tablet, BUCCOLINI'S PAST AS HE IS TORTURING LITTLE ANTONIO VIDEOTHE VIRAL VIDEO OF AN ABUSE OF LITTLE ALESSANDRO ANTONIO VIDEOALESSANDRO ANTONIO WAS COERCED INTO MARRYING THE VITTORIALITTLE ANTONIO STARVED FOR SO MANY DAYS AND MANY NIGHTS BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO CARRY OUT AN EVIL ORDER FROM ANTONIO TO KILL A MAN. VITTORIA FORCED ANTONIO TO MARRY HIM AGAINST HIS WILL. A message popped into his phone screen, "I'm not going to ask you to release Amora, the videos you saw online is a warning, I'm giving you now till tomorrow to return
"Amora?" Antonio snatched the phone from her and read the text, Camila giggled, "I told you, I never go down without a fight," she said while Antonio stumbled backward heading towards the door, "Hold her down, don't let her escape your sight, if anything happens to Amora, kill her" Antonio said glaring into Camila's eyes, "Even if a pin on her head is touched, I will make sure you will fail to see the light of day tomorrow," Antonio threatened,He stormed out and headed home, he barged into the house and went straight into Vittoria's bedroom, "Where did you hide her?" He asked as he stood in front of her, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched,"Hide who?" She furrowed her brows before she stood up meeting Antonio's height with hers, "Don't play dumb with me," Antonio seethed staring into her eyes, "Where are you hiding Amora?" She snickered, "Oh, you were talking about Amora? Isn't she dead..." Antonio's hands gripped her throat immediately and began to choke her, "If anythi
"What!" Amora blurted staring into his eyes. "Yes, Amora. Let's run away to somewhere safe with our baby," he said while she frowned. "You must've finally lost your mind Antonio. I know...""No you don't. I'm so happy that you're pregnant with our child and I know you're also happy." He said reaching for her face, "And I'm aware of all the pain I caused you each time you lost a child but this time, I want to keep you and the baby safe, and for that to happen, we need to leave,""What about your family? What about your children? Do you think of them at all? Now that I look at you on a closer scale, I can see how selfish you're," she said rolling her eyes, He frowned, "Amora, don't...""What? You are getting angry? You wanna run away with me, to keep me safe. I can't believe I'm going to be a mother when I don't even protect other people's happiness, your children needs you, do you even know that?" Antonio walked past her and headed towards the bed, his eyes fell on a parcel sitting
"You're the one." Tina sounded while Amora's ears grew hazy immediately, she swallowed, "You're the one who swayed my father and took him away from us?" She asked while Amora's heart throbbed in her chest, "Tell me it's not you, friend?" Valentina asked as she stared at the picture, "This picture I'm seeing now resembles the friend I met and saw few days ago on my birthday, it's you right?" Amora hung up, "Hello, Hello!" Tina dumped her phone on the bed and hurried towards her father, "Where's dad?" She asked a bodygaurd as she ran out, They pointed towards the basket ball pitch and she hurried towards him, she saw him teaching Mateo and Enzo basketball. "You don't throw a ball like that Mateo! Why are you so weak? Even Enzo can throw the ball way better than you can. You're not going to eat lunch if you don't throw that ball into the net," Antonio threatened while Mateo's face darkened, He reached for the ball while Antonio's eyes darted towards Tina who was headed towards him.
"Where is she?" Vittoria asked as she stood up while Camila continued panting, "CCTV camera captured her in the city capitol with some friends,"Vittoria's brows furrowed, "Some friends? What sort of friends?""I don't know but I've managed to get the girls here, they're in the living room, maybe when we ask them, we will get to know where she is," Vittoria sprang up and headed into the living room where five little girls were seated together looking around the living room. Amora's car stopped infront of the girl's apartment and she came down smiling while clutching her teddy bear. "Call me okay?" Amora said as her car drove off with the girl waving softly, she looked at the pink teddy bear grinning from ear to ear. She passed through the gate and a hand grabbed her, it was one of the family bodyguard, "Ma'am," the man spoke into the airpod, "We have found her," he said while she tried to wriggle away from the bodyguard's grasp,Vittoria flew out and her heart seized when she saw
"Oh my God! Why would you do that?" Amora asked as she held the girl's hand and pushed her away, "How can you hit her with a stone!! Huh? I'm going to sue you," she said as she brought out her phone, "You want to sue us?" One of the girls said and started laughing, "Do you know who my father is, the chief judge of Venice, you can't possibly sue the judge's daughter, can you?""Hmmm, oh really? Well, what if I say that my husband is a mafia?" Amora replied while the girl's panicked,"That's not true," one of the girls replied, "Your husband can't be a mafia," the girl snorted, "I don't think so,"Amora turned around and saw her bodyguards standing a little bit far away from them, she pointed towards the bodygaurds, "Those are my bodyguards, should I call them so you confirm if I'm really a bodyguard's wife or not?" She asked staring at the defiant girl with threatening eyes, They began to falter and took off. Amora sighed out and turned to the little girl, "Are you okay?" She asked w
