This is not the way things are supposed to be between them, but as usual, Kaira can't ignore Calix completely. No matter how disappointed and frustrated she is with her husband, she just can't genuinely hate him, even if that's what she wanted to do.Her earlier actions and words don't match up with the way she is giving him chances now to explain. And she had lost the battle to herself. She is surrendering to the fact that Calix will always have a special place in her heart, no matter how betrayed she is by his actions towards her. She is unsure of anything at this moment, but even before he can begin his explanation, her heart also begins to feel as though she should trust everything he says. She kept telling herself that she wouldn't believe anything he said and that she agreed to this talk because, like Enzo said, they needed to know his excuses. They needed an explanation as to why they were taken as captives by Luca so they could prepare for their hardest battle.She is conditio
James escorted Kaira and Enzo out of the room, as Calix remarked, "I'm bringing them along with me. Your work with them stops right now. I'm taking charge of these two."One of his father's men was quick to turn against him, not easily falling for what he said. "But your father's order is to keep them here. I am sorry that I cannot allow that."And he was ready for a retort for that. He knows that his father's men were not stupid enough to easily let go of their captives. "Are you losing sight of who you are and who I am around here? I've had specific orders from the boss to take them with me," he growled.He is showing authority to the men in front of them. James and he need to be able to bring Kaira and Enzo along with them without anyone questioning their intentions or causing a stir that would immediately alert his father to his plan."As much as I want to agree with you, we can't let them go. The boss has instructed that he'll be coming over to check on these two. And as I have to
"Do you have any information about them? Any developments about where they are, Alex? How in the world is this happening? Where are they?!" When he asked that query, Giovanni's voice exploded at his Sotto Capo, sending a clear message not just to Alex but to everyone in his estate that he is genuinely furious.They have not heard from Kaira nor from Enzo, and it has been several days since her daughter reported anything to her. He doesn't want to be too worried because he knows what his daughter is capable of, and besides, Kaira is with Enzo, who will be willing to give up everything, even his only life, for her, but still, everything is alarming for him."Where the hell is my daughter?! Damn it! We can't lose them just like that! Locate her! Let everyone know that Kaira and Enzo are missing, then direct them to find the Ereditiera right this instant!""I have people searching for them already," Alex answered. "Fuck it! Why the hell are the men too slow?! It's Kaira that we are talkin
In a belligerent tone, Luca asks his son as soon as Calix enters his office, "Calix, what's this? I've heard about you taking the captives. What is this all about? I told you to bring me Giovanni, didn't I, but what did you do? You took the heiress from me?" He is clearly dissatisfied that his son is making his own decisions without even informing him of the plans.He questioned his father, "Where is Bella?" while conveying the same sentiments his father was giving him. To make sure he can stay one step ahead of Bella and his father's plan and ahead of Giovanni as well, he needs to play things out appropriately. It's clear that his father has grown frustrated when he says, "That response has nothing to do with what I asked you. Where did you take Giovanni's heiress?""I told you I don't trust her." He answered with a huff, clearly not answering his father about where he took Kaira and Enzo. "This is a part of my strategy around here. We can't let Bella know everything; after all, she
"Relax, Kai. He'll be here," Enzo blurted out after noticing how worried his cousin is. "James assured you that he'll be here."Kaira doesn't want to show how worried she is about Calix going back to Luca, but it seems that she is unable to control her emotions because Enzo noticed it. It is a good thing that James left them to themselves while also awaiting Calix's arrival. A lot of things are going on in her mind, but her main concern is actually her husband's safety."Is it that obvious?" She asked, to which her cousin could only nod his head in reply. "I can't help it, Enz. Things just got so complicated after our marriage. I really thought that everything would be as simple as it should be. We get married, I get information, and then I bring Luca to jail, but those things never really happened. I mean, even before our marriage, there was a constant pull that seemed to tear us apart.""This is not the time for us to lose faith. We can get through this just as we always do. We just
Kaira was rendered speechless when her husband repeated what he said earlier. "Luca Hendrix is not my real father, Kaira."She thought she had just misheard what he said, but when he repeated it, she was so sure now that she heard it correctly, and it is just now that she understands every word he utters. But what does that really mean for her or for him?Of course, as expected, her mind is overflowing with questions for her husband, but at this point, she lacks the courage to even bother asking them. She really wanted to learn more about her husband's revelation, but she's not sure if he will feel comfortable enough to share his tales with her at this point. Trust is something that is missing in her relationship with him.Calix is staring intently at his wife after he revealed one of his biggest secrets to her. Although he is now eager to tell Kaira the truth about everything about him and his life, he knows that he has to give her some time to absorb everything. She never completely
As soon as he learns what their plan of action is, Enzo can't help but question the couple, "Are you both confident that this would work?"In response to her cousin, Kaira shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing is guaranteed at this point, Enz. You yourself recognize that we are not assured about anything, and at this moment all we can hope for is for the plan to work out. We need to put an end to this; otherwise, many lives will be lost."This time, it was James who aired his opinion about the matter being discussed. "Yeah, we may need to put an end to this conflict, but still, we cannot assure you that your father will be spared, Kaira." He even glanced at Calix, waiting for his friend to back him up on what he said, but Calix was just looking at his wife intently. James then continued to say, "Look, Kaira, no matter how hard Calix and I make an effort, there's no way we can be sure that the law enforcement won't be after your father. Giovanni is the ultimate target of the authorities arou
"Calix, ooh!" Kaira calling out his name like that just adds to the fire that is burning inside of him. He is having goosebumps just hearing his wife moan his name in pleasure. "Cal, shit! I can't hold it anymore. Take me!"It was just supposed to be a kiss and nothing more than that. They don't have the luxury of time to engage in more than just a kiss, but he can't even control himself, especially when his wife is being like this with him. His mind is now clouded with lust for his wife, and he can't be blamed for even feeling this way. He misses her so much, and the time he spent away from her just made him realize how much he values her. Something that he never imagined he would be able to admit freely.Now, with Kaira in his arms again, it almost felt the same, like it was their first encounter together. It was full of passion and raw emotions, but unlike their first night together, he is not holding back on keeping the memories of the woman he is with embedded in his heart. Kair

"You're still the same drop-dead gorgeous and sizzling hot woman that makes me lose control, my wife," he murmured as he clutched her face in his hands and fiercely kissed her. She didn't even hold back and kissed him as aggressively as she could. His tongue explored her mouth, and she gasped at the pleasure she was receiving from the kiss.He slips his arms behind her back and unzips her dress, allowing it to drop to the floor without breaking the kiss. When he was running out of breath, he took a step back to take in the stunning sight in front of him. His jeans continued to bulge just by looking at her in her underwear. "You’re fucking mine, Kaira!" He snarled, his lips crashing into hers once again. In between those kisses, he added, "You are mine and mine alone!""And you are mine, Calix. Only mine!"He took her in his arms and made his way to the bed, hardly breaking their kiss. They're both consumed with lust and need, and it's making them aware of just how ravenous their kisse
"After everything, you're simply going to leave me. Not even a simple explanation as to the why or when or even the how? And when are you intending to tell me about this, Cugino? I am genuinely disappointed in you that you are just shutting me out of your life simply because you found the love of your life."Kaira had been anticipating this reaction from Enzo, so she is not caught off guard when her cousin storms into her office to start interrogating her. She was even expecting him to be here before she came, and his reaction is quite understandable but a little more exaggerated than necessary."So, really no explanation at all? As in nothing coming from you that will make me understand this decision? Nada? You just want me to accept this as it is, Kaira? Don't I have a say in this?"As she rose from her seat and walked to the opposite side of the room, where her cousin was, she blurted out, "Enz, you are being overly dramatic again.""And instead of you trying to calm my nerves, here
James understood that he needed to head out as soon as Kaira entered the room so the two could have a conversation. He just motioned for the couple that he would leave them to talk to, to which the two did not even bother to respond to him.As he went out, he could only release an exhaustive sigh. He was never expecting Kaira to come around, but he is grateful that she did. To put it simply, he was also relieved that Enzo had managed to convince his cousin to be here and to give his friend a chance to explain what really happened that night that his mother was killed.Admittedly, when Calix took the choice to give up the fight and to just surrender to his fate, he was so distraught that he made an effort to contact Kaira as well, but as he had expected, she never responded to him, so he had to reach out to Enzo instead. Kaira's cousin is his only remaining chance. He was ready to be bombarded with questions from Enzo, but surprisingly, Kaira's cousin never bothered to ask anything. He
"Cal, how have you been? Are you okay here? I am sorry that it is just now that I was able to come. I am working with the lawyers right now on getting you out as soon as we can. Your testimony can't be enough grounds to lock you up.""I'm good, James; there's absolutely nothing you need to fret about. And besides, who told you to work with the lawyers? Who says anything about getting out of here? I don't want to get out. I deserve to be here and serve prison time for the crime I have committed to Kaira's mother.""This is bullshit, Calix! I am getting you out of here before you get transferred and endorsed to the Italian authorities!""Why such a response from you, though? I am good here. These people are our people; they won't do anything bad to me. And even if I get transferred, what's wrong with that? We have worked with those enforcement agencies before, and they know me.""Yes, they know you, but that was before they knew that you killed one of their citizens. We can't be sure of
"Hey, I see you're back. Done with your drama already, stepsister?" Bella was surprised to see Kaira in the mansion after several weeks of not being around.Kaira has no intention of holding back as she snaps at her wicked stepsister, "Exactly what are you still doing here in my house, Bella? Enjoying it too much, or are you still simply attempting to take my place around here?" She came back the moment Alex reported that Bella is being a pain to them and doesn't want to leave."Are you forgetting that it is you who has been taking things from me, Kaira?""Excuse me?! How can I take anything from you when you don't have anything in the first place? How pathetic can you really be to still be here? Can't you take a hint that you are not welcome here?"Bella lashed out back, "You've taken everything away from me, you bitch!" angrily. She is the one who instigated this word war between them, but she is also the first to lose her composure at Kaira's insults. She hates the fact that her ste
"Still nothing until now. We don't have any reports as to where they are. What about you? Nothing as well?" Calix can only shake his head in response to his friend's question. "So, since that day you haven't heard from your wife?""Nothing. She's refusing to return my calls or any of my messages. I've been reaching out to Enzo, but even he is unwilling to tell me where the hell they are. I've been trying to communicate with her, but she just shut me off. I have also checked with the Italian institution as well; they have not been there because they have a mission. Fuck it! Damn, Bella, for destroying the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me!""I don't want to say this to you, but I have to. I've told you from the beginning to tell your wife the truth, but you are such a coward not to be truthful to her.""Will you stop pointing fingers at me? Can't you see that I am already in so much misery not knowing where she is? And besides, I am sure as hell that she is not mad about
"Ehi bella ragazza, ce ne stiamo andando." (Hey pretty girl, we're leaving.)"What? You're leaving? Why all of a sudden?""Father said we have to leave for America. He has a work opportunity there, and that will be good for us.""So does that mean that we will no longer be friends?""Saremo sempre amici. E ho vinto; non tornare indietro sulla mia promessa a tuo padre che un giorno ti sposerò. (We will always be friends. And I won't go back on my promise to your father that I will marry you someday.) I will marry you when I grow up, bella Kaira."Kaira's cheeks reddened and instantly blushed because of what her only friend told her. She knows that those words cannot be taken seriously, but it brings a warm feeling to her heart. "You will grow up and meet other bella ragazza someday, so don't make promises that you can't keep.""Even if I will be leaving, I will find my way back to you. Remember that, mi amore. I will find you and marry you.""Then keep true to your word, and don't you e
The following days after Giovanni's incarceration have been a whirlwind for both Kaira and Calix. They both are aware that nothing will come easy after what happened to their families.
