Even knowing that there is nothing they will be able to do to stop Calix and Kaira from continuing their grand displays of affection for one another, James and Enzo cleared their throats in an attempt to put an end to whatever it is that the two have been initiating.
James spoke up, "Ehem! Cal, we've got business here."
Enzo did the same, trying his best to attract his cousin's attention. "Kaira, please settle down to business, shall we? You know that we don't have much time."
It was to be expected, though, that their appeals would be ignored. The couple has been extraordinarily attached to one another. Why wouldn't they? They have been away from each other for so long, and their longing for one another is almost making them lose control.
Both James and Enzo could on
The whole Lombardi estate is in a state of chaos this time. This scenario has been going on for a few weeks now, and everyone around is walking on thin ice. When her mother called and urged her to come back home as soon as she could because everyone was on heightened alert due to threats, she wasn't thrilled with it at first. How can she, when during the time she received the order, she was taking pleasure in her shopping spree in another country? But of course she is obliged to return to Italy because that was an order given by the Don. She wanted badly to defy the order but knew she couldn't—not with Giovanni Lombardi giving it and ensuring that everyone abides by it. When she first set foot back at this so-called home, she was so pissed that she tried to be as difficult as she could be to her mother; however, her perspective changed when she learned
Luca roared out in his usual furious and violent outrage, "Where the fucking hell is Calix?! That insolent jerk is missing in action again! Call him right now and tell him to see me!" Calix's constant disappearance from what was happening is not helping any of his father's men, who are always on edge, trying to muscle their way to pacify the boss, who has been enraged since their failed shipment. Everyone was trying their best not to make mistakes, but Calix seems to be pushing those red buttons all the damn time. "Tell him I want him here in front of me in an hour, or else he will receive the wrath that I am reserving for the Lombardis! Fucking hell! It had been how many days, and until now Giovanni Lombardi has not received the punishment for betraying me! Call him!" His men were about to leave the room i
"Calix, fuck that plan! To be completely honest, I have no desire for my life to slip away just yet. I have not enjoyed my time here on Earth to the fullest, what with all the directives from your father, from the agency, and let's not talk about your whims, but these plans that you're telling me are in fact making me think that we will be meeting our final days so soon. I can't and I won't ever like this plan at all." James, of course, was exaggerating when he made the statement after learning about his friend's plan to carry out their mission as well as play Luca in his order. But on the contrary, it's also possible that what he had said was not entirely out of exaggeration; their deaths will be coming soon, and he knows that. Either it will be brought about by law enforcement against them for their Heralde clan affiliation, or Giovanni will kill them both
While the two of them were busy planning the day's activities, Enzo questioned, "Are you absolutely certain we can trust your husband to keep his end of the bargain?" Kaira responded, offering just a slight nod of her head. "Yes, Enzo. Nothing to be concerned about because I know that I have him wrapped around my fingers. In fact, he has already supplied me with several pieces of information about Luca that we can use." She waved her phone at her cousin, telling him that Calix had just given out important information that they might utilize for their plans. She is happy that her husband took the initiative because it pushes them one step closer to attaining the goals she wants to achieve. "If that is the case, then it appears that I must retract what I just said. In principle, your spouse ought to be the one who
"I seriously cannot figure out why we are where we are right now. Really, Kaira, this is so not you. I can't comprehend the reason why you've been trusting the words of your wicked stepsister." The fact that his cousin is taking into account what Bella said pisses Enzo off to a great degree. He is actually doubtful about every single word that that woman said to his cousin. Kaira curtly said, "I am not going to take any chances here, Enzo." It's not like she believes everything Bella claims to be true, but she's also not ruling out the possibility that certain elements of it could be genuine, and so she had to make sure. "We need every bit of information that we could possibly gather to help bring us closer to our goal. I don't trust her, but the information she provided can be a link to what we're waiting for." "In my point of view, we could have been better
Either luck was obviously not on their side or the person she believed she could actually play at the palm of her hands had misled her and had actually turned the tables around. It was stupid of her to genuinely think that she could manipulate Calix that easily. What a fool she was to genuinely believe that she was capable of controlling her husband!Of course, everything won't be easy because, like her, Calix is an undercover agent, and he is trained to gauge the authenticity of a person. Why does she even think that Calix might be head over heels for her, to the point of being stupid? The truth is, he may have found out her true motive, which is to actually betray him, and that's why he made a move way before she could.She is admitting that she was the only one to blame for this stupid mistake, and she is taking full responsibility for this fault. There is n
"Boss! I got the message that they've got the target already. As per the men, they did not have to show much force to make them follow them. The targets easily complied with what they wanted.""That's good news. Where are they now?""They have been transported to the safehouse and will await our next directives."After hearing the news, he was overcome with joy. He had been hoping for this for quite some time already, and after considerable patience, they had finally succeeded. He had finally succeeded in getting back what he deserved, and those words that his right-hand man spoke were like music to his ears."Good! Make sure that they are being properly taken care of; after all, they are my aces. I'll see them in the morning and let them know of my plans. Prepare the me
"Why the fuck are you here, Bella?""Bella should not be treated in that manner, Calix. It's not like you two have no history together. Why are you being like this to her?""Can you tell me why you are here?" Instead of trying to answer his father, Calix directed the question again to Bella. "You don't have any business here, so leave! You are not welcome here.""Calix!" Luca is trying to stop his son because he owes Bella a lot. He promised Calix to Bella, and since she succeeded in executing the scheme, she ought to be rewarded. He doesn't know what happened between the two, but whatever that is, he doesn't care. As long as Bella is useful to him, his son should treat her well. "Stop this insane behavior! You are not supposed to treat her this way."Calix is unaw
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."
