Despite the fact that she does not particularly approve of the mafia lifestyle she currently shares with her father, she does not welcome the prospect of him being sent to jail with Luca.
"In order for us to link Luca to everything, we have to carry on gathering evidence against him; we can't let my father be in this," she pointed out to her cousin.
"Time is of crucial importance now, Kaira. But let's talk about that some other time, as it seems that practice is over and you must take on your role as the endearing wife to avoid having the love of your life taken away from you." Enzo grumbled as he pushed her out of the stands where they were standing and directed her towards her husband, who had just gotten out of the vehicle and was currently being swarmed by his flirtatious supporters.
She didn't need to be tol
Luca summoned Calix and James to report to his office as soon as they arrived at their house, and since Calix knew for certain what his father wanted to discuss with them, he decided not to bring Kaira with him. In this manner, he could figure out what his father's plan of action was with regard to the Lombardis, and James and he could plan against it if that were the case. Luca's displeasure is extremely obvious as soon as they enter the office. "It's about time that both of you came back." "We are here already, so stop the nagging. What do you want to talk about?" was his abrupt response. He does not want to start an argument with his father and ruin what should have been a good day for him with Kaira, but his father is making it hard for him to do just that. They both engaged in an exchange of death glares in
Soon after they left Luca's office, James asked Calix, "So what do you think about everything that your father has said? I mean, the fact that Giovanni is certainly going to take care of the issue if there really are means that I don't believe that your wife's ex can be something to worry about." He decided not to answer outright and instead focused on Drew Valentino. Since he and Kaira arrived in the country, he has almost completely forgotten about that jerk, but when his father brought up the name, he realized that he wasn't supposed to be disregarded lightly. And as much as he doesn't want to admit it, Drew Valentino can still pose a threat to him. "I'm not so sure that we should rely on Giovanni about this," he mumbled. "James, do all that you can to find out as much information as you can about the jerk. Particularly with that asshole Valentino, I don't
"Hey, you're up early. You have plans of going somewhere?" Kaira was thrown off guard by Calix's husky voice as she was attempting to get herself out of bed. His arms immediately wrapped around her waist when he realized what she was about to do. "Where are you going?" he whispered. She began to stutter for a moment as Calix gently kept her in place on the bed. "I-I am-" He repeated again, with his lips pressing into her neck, "You're what?" And she has to admit, she is enjoying every second of her husband's tender gesture. "Where are you going?" She didn't bother to utter a response and instead engulfed herself in that wonderful feeling that she is not so used to, but that is making all the butterflies in her stomach flutter. Yes, they have been sleeping next to each other a lot more frequently than is needed. B
"Kaira, you are mine and only mine." And Kaira gives in to that kiss all at once. She is his to take. She will be forever his, despite not knowing what the future holds for the both of them. All she ever wanted was to be in this moment, to enjoy the feeling that Calix is giving him, and to drown herself in this wonderful memory. She knows that everything that is happening between them is temporary. None of this will continue once she sends Luca to jail. Calix would probably never forgive her, and that is why she will bask in his affection for her until the time comes that he will forever hate her for destroying his family. He bit her lips, making her cry out, but not in pain but in pleasure from the sensation it gave her. And as she cried out, his tongue immediately explored her mouth, tasting every bit of her. C
It shouldn't have happened between them again, but it did. She never slept with the same person, but now she did, and that is all because, in her mind, Calix is and will always be her husband. And his words to her as they both reached their climax have been imbedded in her memory: "This is not just fuck. This is making love." Love is such a big word that entails a strong emotion. She wanted to argue over that, but she didn't have the strength to do so because, in her heart, what they did was really not just a fuck. It was genuinely something more, but she doesn't want to put love in the equation. Love will destroy her. Love will make her fail. And clearly, love will entrap her in the life that she so wanted to get rid of. Loving Calix would force her to accept the damned existence that they both are in, and she doesn't want that. She does not want to forever
"Admit it, Cal, there is something that you are not telling me. Is she your true love now?" "True love, my ass! Will you stop with your bullshit, James? You are talking nonsense again!" Calix attempts to keep his displeasure from coming across to his friend, but he can't help himself as he says those words to him. James is persistently asking him to come clean about what the hell is going on with him and Kaira, as usual. "Why don't you admit it?" "Goodness! Nothing, James. There is nothing else to tell you except to prepare for what's to come during the signing." He responded in irritation. "You are lying, you jerk. I really find you different these past few days. Did something happen between the two of you?" He shook his head at James' additional questions. "W
As soon as they are by themselves, Giovannni begins to ask his Sotto Capo, "Is everything ready? I want every single element of this to be error-free, especially during the moment of signing. I would rather not allow a single mistake to take place. Ensure that all our men know this and are ready for action whatever may come." "There's nothing to worry about, Boss. Everything has been set up appropriately. I have also additionally instructed Enzo that it's important to ensure Kaira's safety, especially throughout this transition," he answered. "Rest assured that Enzo and our men with him know the task at hand." "Excellent," Giovanni said. "Even though we are starting to establish this alliance, I still can't help the fact that I still have my reservations about Luca. But even so, I would prefer everything to be done discreetly. It is not appropriate to show sk
As soon as Kaira and Enzo managed to see each other again, she declared to her cousin, "We might just need to come up with a change of plan, Enzo." Everybody at the Heralde household is relatively consumed with the planning and preparations given that the signing of the alliance is just a few days away, giving the cousins a time to speak about their own intentions. Enzo whispers back, "What about it?" Even though there are only the two of them, it is best to be cautious when focusing on their plans. She replied after casting a quick glance to her side to make sure no one was around and could hear them. "I recently received word from the director not to make any rash movements about this. He knows that Luca will surely find a way out of this by using connections, which of course I believe is my father, so he said that it would be preferable to acquire sufficie
Kaira had to repeatedly persuade and coax her husband before Calix eventually gave in and let her go on her own. Aside from having to go through incessant pleading with her husband, she also has to deal with her cousin, who, just like her husband, wouldn't let her on her own.When her cousin found out about what she was planning to do, he denied that request and insisted on coming along with her. Enzo was well aware of the dangers of seeing her father. He knows how ruthless the Don can be, and there is a high chance that Kaira can be in trouble if she meets him alone, and besides, it's not only the Don that he is worried about but the other members of the gang who already knew by now Kaira's job.Kaira, on the other hand, understood Enzo's point, but she required her cousin to stay with Calix instead in order to ensure that her husband wouldn't yet turn h
"I'm not allowing you to go alone, babe. I'll have some of the men ready to go with us." Calix has been trying in vain to get his wife to agree to his plan shortly after Kaira told him about Giovanni’s message, but as of the moment, she has not changed her mind and is not responding positively to his request. "I'm coming with you whether you like it or not."Kaira replied with a deep sigh, not really wanting to argue about this with him, but she has already made up her mind."Babe, I'm coming with you.""No. I am doing this alone, hon." She blurted out this time. Even though she doesn't seem to be too sure of her choice, she realizes that she must go and do this. She is carrying too much weight on her shoulders right now, and she no longer wants to prolong this agony that she is feeling.
"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."
