"Relax, Kai. He'll be here," Enzo blurted out after noticing how worried Kaira 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 se
Kaira was rendered speechless when Calix 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 Calix?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 Calix 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 knew that he had to give her some time to absorb everything. Kaira 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 w
"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 Calix can't even control himself, especially when Kaira 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 will 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. Kaira
Luca's guys were inconsolable at that moment. Numerous shots were being fired at his private property by unknown men. They were all out of touch with the reality that was happening around them. One minute, they are all in relaxed mode, and then all of a sudden, they are all fighting for their lives. Nobody expected this to happen, especially in broad daylight.One of the gang members shrieked out, "Damn! We're under attack! We're under continuous firing, and we need back-up! Call for reinforcements and protect the boss at all costs!"Luca's troops have no choice but to conceal themselves while trying to return the fire as the gunshots keep coming for them. They had not been ready for an ambush, much less one on their own territory. They are panicking but still trying their best to put up a good fight, regardless of the fact that they know that they
"Calix, where in the freaking hell are you? Why are you not here and why have you not been doing what you are supposed to do? You have responsibilities for this family, but you were not here when we were attacked! Damn you!""What? Attack? What do you mean you were attacked?""Don't you know anything?! This is absurd! As my heir, you have the responsibility of leading this family! You should have been here fighting for this gang, but could you please remind me again, where were you when we were on the verge of death and extinction?""What exactly are you saying, Father? What attack? Who attacked you?""That is a question that you were supposed to find the answer to. Find the damn assholes who attacked us. Find the culprit and bring them to me dead."
"Bella, how many times do I have to tell you that Giovanni has refused to permit anyone to go anywhere at this point? War is starting with the Hendrix's, and so we must obey him. You know that his words are commands that we need to follow all the time.""Mom, how many times do I have to tell you the fact that his words don't matter to me? I do not consider myself part of this family, just as your husband doesn't consider me as his own. And I no longer wish for his acceptance, because I can find my own path in this life. Simply put, I am not you, therefore I am free to do as I please."Once again, Belinda has had enough of her impulsive and frequently reckless daughter. She is doing everything in her power to get Giovanni to take in Bella, but her daughter consistently goes against what is commanded, making it hard for her husband to trust her completely and ack
"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
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
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."
