"What exactly in the fiery hell is going on with you right now, Calix? Will you, for the life of me, calm yourself down this moment?" "Shut the fuck-up, James. This is not the time for your incessant babblings." At Calix's indignant expression, James could only grin and roll his eyes, because between the two of them at this moment, it was Calix's babblings that were driving him insane. "What is up with that guy? Is he a man from her past? And why the heck does he even have the balls to call my wife his baby? She is not definitely his baby, because that is my wife he is talking about." "It may really look that way to me, Cal; after all, it was also you who mentioned earlier that Kaira, who happens to be your wife, has called the same man her baby." "Dammit! That's just bullshit! That asshole is definitely a piece of crap, and I would effortlessly strangle that loverboy if he thought he could get away from me just like that." Even more so than that, James was taken aback by his frie
"Since he certainly wouldn't have carried out the things he just did if he actually weren't fond of you, Kaira, it is obvious that he in fact does like you." "His liking for me is out of the discussion here. What I'm trying to get at, Drew, is the reality that this simply cannot go on forever. I mean, we cannot keep on doing this to get on each other's nerves all the time, and I don't intend to squander every ounce of energy that I have trying to make a statement around with him." "Honestly, I don't truly see it that way. Does a passionate kiss represent getting on each other's nerves, as you suggest? Or probably you are referring to a different kind of nerve here, Kai." Kaira was only able to shake her head in defiance with an involuntary breath. Drew clearly doesn't understand what she's trying to say in this situation. "If you are assuming that I like him, well, I find him to be completely unappealing." "Really? Tell it to yourself—I'm certainly not the one you're trying to foo
They've barely made it into Kaira's room, and his wife has gone absolutely nuts, shouting at him. "Exactly what the fucking hell was that? Are you completely out of your mind? I so wanted to whack you, asshole!" And this is precisely what Calix has been anticipating from her. As soon as they entered the room, she shoved Calix by the chest and pointed out, "I cannot think of the most appropriate thing to say to you right now. Just so you know how furious I am with you, I so wanted to graze you with a bullet right now." Calix had just as much anger, perhaps even more, than she did. At that point, how did Kaira want him to act out? It appears as though what she did with the jerk of her ex-boyfriend was perfectly acceptable to him. She is his wife, for fuck's sake; does she really think he would allow someone to touch and e
"What the hell did you just say? Bring your wife to America? Are you nuts? Where did this idea even come from?" James was bewildered once more by the unbelievable thought that Calix had just shared with him. "I thought you wanted to end your marriage; how can you even do that if you’ll bring her to America with us?"Calix has really lost his mind, and he and James both know that. He doesn't even know how he came up with that thought, but the only thing on his mind is to separate his wife from a possible threat to their marriage, and that is no other than Drew Valentino. "I can easily end our marriage there. Come to think of it, she’ll be in my territory, in my arena where I am used to playing my games. The more women who come across me, the easier it will be for her to retract with her conviction and for her to end our fucking marriage. Basically, the solution to my problem is right there at ho
Kaira was confronted by her husband out of nowhere as she entered their room. "Where the hell have you been again? I told you to stay put, but you continue to defy me. If this is what you want, then you left me with no choice but to really bring you with me on my own turf."She had recently arrived home from being at work in the outdoors with Enzo and Drew when the breaking news he had just delivered to her made her react furiously towards him again as she asked, "What exactly in the hell did you just have to say to me? Are you ordering me around?"Calix appeared to be in not the best mood for a further dispute with his wife and remarked bluntly, "You heard what it was that I had said; I don't like repeating the statements that I've made. And yes, if you feel that that was an order, then that really is an order coming from me."
In that very early part of the morning, the Lombardi estate is bustling. Everyone is on edge as a result of the unexpected news. Everyone was taken aback, but none of them put forward a single objection because, as long as the Don is in favor, no one has a legitimate reason to voice their displeasure. They are dealing with conflicting emotions at this moment because their long-term guests are scheduled to depart today. They have been anxiously awaiting the two young men's departure for a while now, but they are not expecting that they will be taking their ereditiera with them. Just the same, the Lombardi heiress, Kaira, is thrilled with the fact that she and her husband will be heading to America today. She managed to make it hard for Calix's plan to be put into action as a way of getting back at him, but still, her heart and mind were joined insinuatingly by
To say that she is shocked is an understatement. But Kaira is happy with the fact that her father has decided to send Enzo and a handful of his men to join her in her American quest. And though she wasn't particularly afraid of being all by herself, she would find life so much easier if she knew that someone else could help her achieve her goal. And Enzo was the one she really needed to do just that. She can make do with only Enzo with her, but the few men her father sent would be a help as well, especially as she enters new territory. She doesn't know how many enemies she can make as she leaves their place, but being with their trusted men is enough to give her comfort and the determination that she is soon to win this mission. She couldn't help but smile while she reminisced about that scene earlier. Her father's decision obviously caught her husband off gu
"What a pleasant surprise it was to see you here, Kaira," Luca Hendrix stated as Kaira walked into the lavish Hendrix mansion hand in hand with Calix. Of course, their show must go on, as they will be coming face-to-face with her in-laws. "I was a bit shocked when Calix told me that the two of you would be staying here for the time being," he added. "It's a good thing, though, that your father permitted you to come here." "It's great to be here with him," she said with a sweet smile as she proceeded toward them and greeted her husband's parents as usual. "Calix said he is interested in sharing with me the place where he grew up, and I think that would be a great opportunity for us to start getting to know one another better, so I simply cannot pass up on that opportunity to be here with him." With a nod from Luca, he added, "Well, I was also told that your fa
"We need to have a change of plan, Kaira.""What? Change of plans? Why?"Enzo suddenly cut off her and Calix's discussion about her father's imprisonment preparations when he said, "He won't be coming, Kaira. They already knew what was about to happen. Zio Giovanni knew all about you now. And they knew all about the plan that you have for them now."The reality that her father already knows about her secret identity has left her perplexed, yet she still inquires about it: "What do you mean my father knew? What does he know about us; what did he learn about me? And how did he even find out? Is it because of Luca?"Questions after questions were raised, to which her cousin can only say, "Alex was able to gather information, providing sufficient details for him to determine
"Boss, there's something that you should know.""I'm busy, Alex.""We've got some reports. Vital information that you need to know now." At that point in time, Giovanni comes to understand that something might be amiss because Alex's tone of speech is one of uncertainty and fear.He furrowed his brows and asked, "Can't this wait? We'll be meeting Kaira in a few hours, and I am preparing for that. Let's talk about whatever this is after my daughter is back. I also want you to get enough men ready to join us later. I don't know what will happen, and I don't want to take any chances with the police."Since seeing his daughter again is his top concern, he doesn't want to think about anything else for the time being, so whatever Alex has to say, that clearly has to wait until
Over the past few days, Giovanni has been experiencing conflicting feelings. Why wouldn't he? He is undoubtedly concerned about his daughter and nephew. Despite their best efforts, he has not heard anything about their whereabouts, and he is growing increasingly concerned over what might have happened to them.He wanted to maximize all his resources to search for his daughter, but with Luca's apprehension just days earlier, he had to be extra cautious. Their movements are also limited, as they also chose to stay low and cause minimal disturbance until the situation settles down. And even though his men are making every effort to track down the next-line leaders, everything seems to be futile at this point. And, given that there has been no update on the heiress as of yet, he is honestly growing impatient, not with his men but with himself.Where in the he
"Hey, what's wrong? Everything alright with you?" Kaira had been thinking deeply since returning from work, but Calix's arms wrapping around her waist interrupted her deep thoughts. He engulfed her in his warmth and tenderly kissed her on the cheek, showing her how much he misses her presence.As soon as she felt his arms around her and his lips on her cheeks, she closed her eyes instinctively. Despite the fact that they had just seen each other in the institution early this morning, she still misses him. Her mind has been constantly bugged with worries, and she is being overcome by her anxiousness, but her fears temporarily vanished as she felt his comforting embrace.It has been a challenging and long few days for both of them, not just for her. They both consider Luca's captivity an accomplishment because it has fulfilled her mission and allowed Calix to sec
"Let me out of here, you assholes! You do not possess any evidence against me. This is against my rights! You think you can lock me here all you want? I won't allow you to do that! You are clearly mistaken; I will get out of here; you just wait for my lawyers, and I will sue everyone of you!" he exclaimed.Since being brought to the facility, Luca has been making threats to the American and Italian police while also making loud noises to disrupt them."You! Hey you, miserable jerk! I am willing to give you a good deal! Let me escape from here and I will be willing to give you some money in exchange for my release. Hey, did you hear my offer? Come here right now and let me out! Tell me how much do you want and I'll give it to you right away!""Shut the hell up, Heralde! You don't have any penny left in yo
Kaira laid out her words to her father-in-law with great confidence: "It's over, Luca. Your fun is over. This represents the end; your end. And I am happy to be here to witness this special moment.""What the hell are you talking about?! What's the meaning of this?" Luca is visibly taken aback when he encounters his daughter-in-law and her cousin standing in front of him, both of them gloating smugly at him. He shrieked back, "What the fucking hell is this?! Where the hell is my son?!"As she pulled something from her back, Kaira gave him a cheeky look before shocking him with what she said all the while showing her father-in-law her most precious badge. "I am Agent Ira Amato, and I am here as part of my job, Luca. As the commander said, you are under arrest. You're going down now, and I will ensure that you enjoy your prison time."
Drew pointed out, "Boss, we've located them. All of the information that Bella managed to disclose is accurate. I am confirming that Luca is indeed in the vicinity she mentioned, and although there are no movements yet from them, I think they are preparing for something."When Giovanni learned about this, he turned his attention to his Sotto Capo. "Alex, prepare the men for war. I am sure that he knows it was us; clearly he was able to get hold of my message. Tonight, we are going to take that asshole to his grave for continuing to cross me and for having the recklessness to even use my daughter against me. Him taking Kaira is the last straw in all of this betrayal."Alex nodded in agreement. "The men are geared up for any battle. We are ready to take back our Ereditiera. We will give Luca and his men the pain and the misery that they haven't felt before."
The air was filled with clouds of smoke as the shooting intensified with each passing minute. This situation has persisted for some time now, showing no signs of abating. It appears that whoever is orchestrating this chaos has only one purpose in mind: to take out the enemy and make sure that they will fall.With powerful troops around them, Luca's group is forced to get involved in direct combat. They must take action to avoid being taken over again, even though they are obviously outnumbered. The person causing this disruption for them appeared to be trying to make sure they lose their lives today.Luca's men had been rushing from place to place in an attempt to conceal themselves from the attackers so they wouldn't be approaching death in a couple of minutes. They are unaware of who they are facing or who is coming for them at the moment, but they are aware
"Where the hell are they?!" Luca roared in anger as he walked into the location where he was supposed to meet with Calix, but his son was still not there. "Fucking Calix! Where the hell is he?! Where the hell is Kaira?!"He is agitated given that time is of crucial significance in this situation. He's lost a lot of his men in the attack, and he can't be too sure of his safety while he's still struggling to determine if Giovanni is tracking them or not, which would also explain why he has to secure his ace before Giovanni can make another attempt against them.Kaira is his only way to survive another ambush attempt by Giovanni. The Lombardi clan won't be too aggressive with dealing with his gang if they know that their princess is with him. And this is why he can't wait to see Kaira.At this point, he doesn't know wh
