She heard the gunshots while spending her time with children who were invited for breakfast from NGO. She was glad their bus left before any tragedy. Her gaze turned to her husband who looked unaffected by it and eating fruits from the bowl, she hadn't finished yet. "Liam," Her steps were slow toward him, but big eyes were carrying dread. "Nothing should bother you, babe." Wrapping his hand around her wrist, he tugged her onto his lap and held out the fork for her. "I'm not hungry now." She pushed his hand away, "What has just happened?" She asked. "You don't need to know," He dropped it with a clink. "I hate this," She huffed, turning her face away from him, clearly, showing her annoyance. Her eyes rested on the doctor and one guard ushering her inside, "Why is the doctor here?" She asked, getting on her feet. Liam got on his feet as well. His gaze was demanding on the guard. "Isha ma'am is sick." The guard replied.
He was aware that Olivia was in the dungeon trying to spew the truth from the women they captured this morning. He didn't need to wait for the torture's results. He knew their plans. He was still contemplating his plan. Danil walked in the office, his eyes were locked on the display of his phone, "Hi, what's the meeting about?'' 'There could be only one reason for so much happiness on my wife's face. Isha's pregnancy. I never thought my brother will be so dumb.' "Pull your head out of your phone, Dan, and look around." Liam tilted his head, intensifying the air around him. The hovering of his thumb over the display increased, "Done," Clicking on the send button, he shoved the phone on the desk, "I'm just worried about Isha. She's sick." He said, "You're the one who's sick. Talk to your wife, moron." His lips flattened. "Am I missing something? Did Rose say anything?" His brows shot up. "Don't drag Rose in it. Jus
"May I?" Kazimir smiled at her. She returned it and sat in the chair, "Thank you," She pushed the loose strand away from her face. Her eyes met with Angelina as she came to serve food. "Good morning, Rose. How are you feeling today?" "Good morning. I'm feeling good. Thank you," She said, a smile marring on her lips. Angelina nodded, flashing a smile her way before turning to Kazimir, "What would you like to have for your breakfast, Sir?" Angelina asked. She felt as if she was in a restaurant instead of home. "Whatever plus black strong coffee. Thank you," Kazimir said, without lifting his gaze from his phone. "Good morning, Rose," A cheerful voice came from behind her. She pulled the chair out and sat next to her. A blush crawled over her cheeks when her gaze locked with Kazimir. He looked straight at her without any shame. "Morning, do you know each other?" She asked, resting her back against the chair.
She was about to slither under the sheets when Liam emerged through the doorway. He was home but stayed in his office with his brothers. "Let's go out for a walk," He said, extending his hand to her. "Walk," She blinked in shock. Liam always insisted her to rest and stay in. "Yes," He nodded. "Alright," She slid her feet in flip-flops and advanced her pace to him. She looked at him with a suspicious gaze. "You aren't looking excited, babe," He lifted his hand and brushed his knuckles on her cheek. "It will be cold outside," She muttered, drawing herself closer to him. He removed his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders. It was warm and it was carrying his scent. She was ready for bed, "It won't," He said, curling his arm around her shoulder, tugging her to his side for warmth. She felt goosebumps on her skin as the chill wrapped around her bare legs. She pulled his coat closer, "You won't drag me out f
Travis and Sahil were going with Kairo. Still, he was a little worried about him. He was determined to wipe out the whole clan if something happened to his youngest brother. "My sister is gonna freak out," Caspian said, sipping his whisky. He shook his head, "I'll meet you tomorrow evening at Detroit's border. Kazimir will join you," "As you don't wanna answer my question. Where's Bratva's consigliere?" Liam arched his brows, running his thumb over the rim of his glass, "That should be your last glass," He turned to the counter, Sahil and Travis were already webbing their plan. Kairo was still unaware of everything. Trust wasn't his thing but he would prefer these men when he would be on the other side of the world with his wife. "Nah! It's not alcohol. I hate the tears in my princess's eyes. You can talk to her, man, explain things." Caspian said. "She's my wife." He said with a tightening jaw. "Stubborn ass. Why did I let
Roselyn She bolted up when she peered at unknown walls, opening her eyes. Her heart was drumming in her ears in terror at several thoughts hovering over her mind. "Ma'am," Her head jerked, hearing the low-known voice. She blinked, stuck in relief and disbelief. She darted her eyes around before turning to her again, "Mel?" Her voice was low and questioning. "Good morning, ma'am." Her smile was reaching her eyes, "I was waiting...." She cut her off. "You kidnapped me? Are you crazy, Mel? I'm... so happy to see you but not like this..." She shook her head, flattening her lips in anger. "Ma'am, you're misunderstanding me. Vanessa is here. See!" She gestured at the chair with her hands. Vanessa was sleeping while sitting on the chair. "Er… I know she's an evil woman. Liam never wants to hear me. See! What she did! " She got on her feet, pushing the blanket away, "How did you do that?" She asked, averting her eyes back a
LIAM He tugged on the full sleeves of his black tee, his dark grey jeans hugging him like a second skin. His black cap was hiding his face from the watchers, particularly women in the cafe who were shifting in their seats to have just one glimpse of him and two of them, sitting with him. Kazimir was sitting in the front chair across the round table, tapping rapidly on his phone. He was also wearing a black full-sleeve tee with dark blue jeans. His cap was hooded over his boyish face. His physical condition was telling - A grown man. Caspian placed the tray with a tug, startling all the women who looked away immediately. He pushed the sleeve of his black tee, it was fitting him like a glove going with the shape of his shoulder and abs. "This shit is so hard. How are they carrying their pretty arses on it?" He snorted, speaking in a low voice. "Buddy! We're college dudes here. Relax, they're used to this kind of shit." Kazimir mut
LIAM "Isn't this watch so expensive for a college student?" Kazimir frowned at Caspian. "It belongs to my father. I want to die with it on my wrist," Caspian said, his lips in a straight line. The watch was still in a new condition and very expensive. "We're going to kill, not die, Capo." Kazimir rolled his eyes. "Why the heck you didn't step out to be that f*cking charming lover?" He snorted, glaring at him. "I'm addicted to only one girl right now." A dark smirk played on his face, "Liam is already booked. So, it's you, Capo." "Stop saying that word out loud. We're going to s**thole. There are many ears to hear you." He grabbed his gun and shoved it in the waistband of his jeans. A soft smile crawled on his face, staring down at the display. He ran his thumb on the smiling face of his wife. He schooled his expression with their increasing argument. He slithered his phone in his pocket and grabbed the jacket. "Where is my girlfriend
Her eyes were on them, smiling. He couldn't take his eyes off of him. A trace of a smile on his lips widened when their boy moved his fisted hands in the air, wailing in his hands. His face was red. 'I wanted him to have his father's eyes. I didn't tell anyone, didn't even call it in my mind as I'm always an open book to my husband. Thankfully, Leon got his father's eyes. Emerald green.' Her nervousness was all on the edge. She wanted everything to be perfect. The weather wasn't of her liking but her husband provided her with everything she needed, she demanded. She still wasn't in favor of Leon becoming capo but his destiny was written when his father was Liam Rodriguez. Leon was screaming his lungs out, kicking, fisting. Liam wasn't looking bothered with it. His smile didn't waver while looking at his son. "Give him to me, Liam." Olivia extended her arms to hold Leon. Liam peered down at him. Kissing his head tenderly, he placed h
He pocketed his phone. His expression was impassive, but his emerald eyes were cold. Danny's steps were long and fast toward him, he swiped the back of his hand on his forehead, "Boss, Paul is waiting for you with him. Mel's information was correct. In these last days, he has convinced his wife that Cody is no more," Danny hesitated, speaking the last word. "Get in the car, " He said. He was still contemplating.... should he tell his mother about her son? Would Rose allow him to go to his home? He knew the answer. It was a difficult decision for him, "Tell Vanessa to bring her," Danny looked at him, "But ma'am, boss?" He gulped. He was sweating in this cold weather and soon there would be snowfall. "Do as you're told to," He turned the key, circling his hand on the steering wheel, driving toward the dungeon. His steps weren't making noises as he walked over the concrete floor. His posture was menacing, gaze piercing. His
Her smile was from ear to ear reaching her eyes. She walked out of the elevator. 'Finally, Isha told everyone about her pregnancy.' Her hand was rubbing softly on her stomach. She was a little disappointed that Liam wasn't in the hall. But she did not need to ask where he would be at this time of the day. She remembered him, sliding out of the comforter next to her. But her lips tightened not to find Ana in the hall. She comprehended that she was trying to ignore Kairo and didn't want to encounter his wife. But it was getting too much now. She slapped the door of her room. Her brows pulled together when she found the room empty, "Ana," She softly spoke, darting her gaze around. She checked in the washroom. She wasn't in her room. She paced out and her feet halted hearing the soft voice of crying. She looked confused. Not wanting to startle whoever was in the hall, she slowly sauntered forward. "Please, don't go. You just came and y
LIAM His stomach was in knots driving back to his wife. He hated to feel helpless but only his wife carried this power over him. He made sure to provide a safe environment for her before leaving. Still, tension couldn't leave his body until he saw her. They were back home. Olivia and Lily were surrounding her. He had his differences with Lily but it had nothing to do with Rose. He kept his distance from Lily. "No, I'm full. I can't eat more momma," She told Lily, pushing the plate away. Olivia smiled softly, looking at Rose with motherly affection in her eyes. They always wanted a daughter. Rose was the first girl coming into the family, so innocent, pure soul. It did not take her much to win their hearts. He pushed his constructed body away from the door. Mel and Vanessa were outside the door, back straight, wearing their black suits today. "Don't leave her side," He told them. Though, there wasn't any need to worry. "We won
She was staring at the sea with a frown, her eyes swollen. She wanted to be alone and Mel was packing her things. Whatever she saw in the morning, it disturbed the peace of her mind. Though, she trusted her husband blindly. She had faced it before, hatred of other girls for her because they wanted to replace her. "It's a lovely day," She was startled with a sudden tone. Sniveling her neck, she stared at her with a frown, "It's a private beach." Her tone was a little harsh. "I came with Leon." She said with a smile, "I'm Zara, by the way." "Leave," She said, ignoring her, not wanting anyone around her. "Carlos and Angela look great together," She muttered. She fisted her hands in anger. She felt her doing this intentionally, "Tell dear Carlos," She tried to suppress her anger from her tone. "Oh, come on, don't be a boring pregnant woman," Zara sat on the lounge chair, facing her, grinning ear to ear, "They met in the n
LIAM He watched her, his eyes hard and cruel but also soft but only for her. He hadn't talked so openly to her before. This time, tears in her eyes were demanding it, through her silence was the most disturbing thing in his life. He couldn't ignore the shiver up her spine watching her with Aitana's arms wrapped around him. He was full of darkness and danger. When he strode through the hall, he was disappointed to not see Aitana, he wanted to strangle her, and put the all bullets in her stupid head. "I'm glad you didn't strangle his sister," Kazimir said when he reached the car. "I won't spare her life next time." His crude voice was holding promise. "I'll talk to Vincent," Kazimir said. He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, "I don't care. I'll kill her." his jaw tightened. He got in the passenger seat. He motioned him to start the car. Kazimir shook his head. The car revived, and he drove on the gravel road, surrounded by tall t
ROSELYN She woke up with a glint of happiness in her eyes, the corners of her lips curled up, finding her husband next to her. His one arm was wrapped around her hips, his face buried in the crook of her neck. She stayed still, knowing the consequences of startling a sleeping lion. A grin quickly slid across his firm lips as he saw her already looking at him. Tucking her hair, he pressed his lips on her cheek, "Buenos días. Good morning, babe." His thumb slid on her soft cheek. She giggled, "I like whatever you said, good morning." "Did you enjoy your day?" He asked, lifting himself on his elbow. "Yes, like a free bird." She smiled warmly, "Did you get him? The man who was attacking and wanted to hurt Ria," He inclined in, his nose touching her, "I want you to enjoy, babe. I'll catch him." He let out a slow breath. His hot breath tingled the tiny hair of her face, "There are two teenage girls. They need our help. One of them is Vince
The silence felt odd without the loud music but it was a relief to him. Her hands wouldn't be on his shoulder anymore. The driver opened the back door at their sight, "Some people are looking for her, Sir." He whispered to him. He shoved her in the backseat and shut the door with a bang. He reached for his gun and turned swiftly, pulling the trigger twice, shooting them in the head. "Shit! I was going to knock them out," Caspian slid his hand through his dark hair, Zara was about to scream seeing two dead bodies at her feet. Vanessa clapped her hand on her mouth, shutting her voice. "See you, brother," Kazimir said, striding away with Vanessa who was hauling the struggling girl with her. "Carlos, sit with me. I want your help." The empty bottle rolled down on the seat next to her. He motioned at the driver, and his jaw twitched. Caspian frowned at the back seat as she was trying to lick the last drop from the bottle. He muttered
LIAM "Isn't this watch so expensive for a college student?" Kazimir frowned at Caspian. "It belongs to my father. I want to die with it on my wrist," Caspian said, his lips in a straight line. The watch was still in a new condition and very expensive. "We're going to kill, not die, Capo." Kazimir rolled his eyes. "Why the heck you didn't step out to be that f*cking charming lover?" He snorted, glaring at him. "I'm addicted to only one girl right now." A dark smirk played on his face, "Liam is already booked. So, it's you, Capo." "Stop saying that word out loud. We're going to s**thole. There are many ears to hear you." He grabbed his gun and shoved it in the waistband of his jeans. A soft smile crawled on his face, staring down at the display. He ran his thumb on the smiling face of his wife. He schooled his expression with their increasing argument. He slithered his phone in his pocket and grabbed the jacket. "Where is my girlfriend
