The sky has grown even darker from the clouds that rolled in, She let out a slow breath darting her eyes over the ground, finding guards everywhere. Goosebumps broke on the skin of her arms. She felt love when his arms curled around her, his hands taking her hands in his large one. He kissed her on the head. "Are we going to stay like this forever? Guards surrounding me all the time?" She asked, her hair falling in waves over her shoulders. Drawing his face back, he studied her face, "That makes you sad?" He asked her but it was written all over her face. She whirled in the ring of his arms. Swiping her gloomy gaze on his face, she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes, "I wanna feel free like a bird in the clear blue sky. Is it too much, Liam?" She asked him. He rubbed his hand on her back, "Give me some time," He demanded. Her eyes bulged out in shock, her head jerked back, her eyes glued on his face, "Did you just
Selena and Cody were stimulated and were jumping on their feet as they were going to meet their friends today. Her smile was reaching her eyes looking at their thrilled faces. They stepped into the elevator, "Josh will be so happy to see us." Cody exclaimed happily. "Yes, he also wants parents like us," Selena replied. "He will. I have prayed to God." Cody exclaimed again. His lips were stretched into a full grin. She was leaning back, holding the tray, listening to their conversation. "Will his parents allow us to meet them?" Selena asked, looking back at her sniveling her neck. The elevator opened with a ding, "Of course, they will." She flashed her soft smile in their way and ambled out of it. They rushed ahead of her, "I will reach first" "No, I will." muttering something to each other and laughing, they ran ahead. Cody and Selena burst through the door. Their laughter echoed in the room and the hall.
A soft knock sounds from the other side of the heavy glass door. His hands fisted but he kept his expression neutral. Vincent walked in his office. He was alone, but not without his weapons. He tipped his chin down and motioned him to the chair on the other side of the desk. "My foes are troubling in my territory. I wanted to meet you personally." He shoved the files on the desk and took the chair. "Why is that? Lorenzo is handling everything as you want it to be... Perfect. Women have started their classes." He said in an impassive tone. "I don't know what to do with kids, Liam. Some girls, under seven, and two boys under five. I don't know exactly their age. Your wife and mother are geniuses. They could handle the situation better than me." He let out a heavy breath. Leaning back, he glanced at him, studying him. Vincent's guards were down, "Are you considering me your friend?" He asked, slightly tilting his hea
His resentment could be seen from afar. The door opened and Rose walked in, looking furious, "Why are there so many guards in and out of our room?" She almost yelled in frustration. "Rose," Liam snarled, his gaze blazing at her. Her lower lip began to tremble and she spun and hurried out of the room. "F***!" Liam cursed and got on his feet and rushed behind her. "Rose, " He softened his voice as he called her. His strides were long and agile. He curled his hand around her wrist, delicately and twirled her to face him. Her eyes were lowered, staring at the floor, "I wanna see the fishes," She tried to jerk his hand away. A tear fell on the back of his hand. He pressed his thumb on her pulses. They were running rapidly under his touch. She was scared. "I didn't mean..." She pulled herself away and ambled toward the garden. He paced behind her, giving her time, "Babe," He muttered, not wanting to see her in tears. He grasped
She was sitting alone, eating her breakfast. She finished it hurriedly. She was peering at them from the corners of her eyes. They were watching over her from their hidden place. She dropped the fork with irritation. It clinked loudly, breaking the silence of the hall. She woke up alone in the room and a troop of guards outside of the door and the windows. "Are you still hungry?" Angelina asked, towering over her. She took the plate. "Yes," "I'm bringing fruit salad for you," She turned on her heels, heading back to the kitchen. "Only pomegranate." She demanded. She came back from the kitchen after five minutes. She looked at the bowl curiously and flashed her full grin when she saw it. Muttering thank you to her, she grabbed it. 'Something is wrong. He won't tell me. Something has happened. I'll talk to Isha but she won't tell me because of her fear. Liam would have warned them. Mom! I should ask her.' Ther
'Did he hear us? Mom didn't want him or anyone to know. Dad wouldn't like it either.' Olivia was mastered in hiding her fear, "Have you cooked?" She asked, looking at the tray he was gripping. "Yes, fruit cake. Angelina helped me. You can get it only if you're not angry." He asked. It relaxed both. Olivia patted her back, "My secret is safe with you?'' She asked in a low voice. " Yes, mom." She whirled to face Liam, "My mood swings are in control if you will not call me sick again." "That came out wrong. You're not sick." His jaw tightened. "Wrong! You're surprising me," She walked over to him. "Yes, this day is full of surprises," His emerald gaze turned to Lily. She halted, big eyes looking at him. Olivia stepped forward, "Liam," Her fright could be heard in her voice. "Your pretty little secret is safe with me, mom," His face was poker, his voice holding nothing. His fingers curled around his wife's wrist. He t
She couldn't sit calmly. Her face was worried and scared mulling over the situation. She was repenting to ask Olivia anything. She was frightened to face Olivia. She was holding herself responsible. She forced herself to sit on the couch. Her hands were shivering at her sides. Unable to sit, she drew herself to her feet again. She walked out of the room. There was no guard outside. 'I know where you will be,' Drifting her gaze around, she made her way to the gym. It was empty. There was no guard in the house at that time. She spun and took the stairs to reach his office. She was terrified, her heart was pounding loud in her ears. She grasped the railing to support her weight as she heard noises, shouts, and the sound of breaking things. Reaching in front of the door, she stared at it in dread. Goosebumps ripped through the skin of her nape. "They fucking lied to me. Everything was fake. Fucking everything!" She recognized his seething, full
His headache forced him to awake. Getting on his elbows, he slithered his hands through his hair, cursing under his breath. All the thoughts were still running in his head. His brows furrowed when he felt the blanket over him. Sharply, he turned his neck. His jaw tightened when he saw her sleeping on the single couch, her legs were thrown on the arm of it. "What the fuck is wrong with her?" He fisted his hands. He was smelling of whisky. He got on his feet and strode over to the washroom. He was hoping she would go away while he was taking a quick shower. He didn't want to answer any of her questions. He propelled the towel in frustration after wiping his wet hair. He turned to the door. He let out an exasperated sigh as she was still sleeping on the couch. 'I have hurt her. I should rein my anger. Shouldn't she stay away from me? I could have hurt her accidentally.' He felt the urge to beat the living shit out of some
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
