Alessandro and Olivia landed in Chicago, ready to participate in the festivities of Matteo's wedding. Olivia is very excited. Alessandro felt happy to see her happy. After the dizzy spell from the previous day, she looked healthy and happy. So he didn't think much about it. Carlos and Czar accompanied them."Hera" Olivia ran towards her best friend, who came to the airstrip to welcome her. Olivia wanted to hug Hera, but she knew that her best friend was pregnant. So she gently wrapped her arm around Hera's shoulder and grinned from ear to ear.Both friends started chatting excitedly.Matteo and Alesso fist-pumped each other."How is it going?" Alesso asked Matteo. Matteo grinned with mirth."I should be the one who is asking you that question" he replied, nodding towards Olivia. Alessandro smiled."It's going good, just like how yours seems to be going" he countered.Both the men chuckled and led their women toward their waiting car. "Reed and Nero will also be coming tomorrow. Her
He is happy that his boss is never going to marry this vile woman, as he is already married now. "I am sorry Miss Sylvia, I am only doing my work. I cannot allow you inside. Please go back" he repeated monotonously.Sylvia gritted her teeth and glared at him. Her pretend patience wore off and she dropped her kind act like a ton of bricks."Naim, if you think that your boss is now related to those Russians, and you can do anything and speak disrespectfully with me, then you are dead wrong. The moment I tell my brother about this behavior of yours, he will not even hesitate a second to kill you. Do you know how much Kairo trusts my brother? You will be replaced within hours. So don't act smart with me and move" she snapped.Naim wanted to laugh at her threat. He is the person who is closely watching his boss these days. He knows that his boss doesn't trust Antonio as much as he used to in the past. If he did, then he wouldn't have married Rose while he had so many other ways to take hi
Kairo laughed bitterly."Rich and reputed man?" he asked mockingly.The way she described him was supposed to mean that he has everything he needs and the world is at his fingertips. But he is not feeling like that. At least, not recently. He is like every other middle-class man out there. Struggling to come to terms with the reality of his life. He is rich, yes, but not rich enough to turn the time back and save his mother and sister from the torments they sustained. He is not as powerful as he used to think he is. He is helpless when it comes to the tears of his sister. He was an idiot who used to think that he could do anything. But as the lies of the past and the relationships of the present surface, he feels like any ordinary man out there with lots of emotions. He realized that money, reputation, and power are illusions that make people like him feel invisible until the realities of life hit them hard. "Of course, it's not a secret. You are rich and powerful. Who doesn't know
In Chicago, "How cute" Olivia caressed the chubby cheeks of Mia and Reed's baby.Mia smiled gently with maternal love. Their baby is close to turning one. She is now crawling and babbling happily in her baby language. She is cute like Mia. She shared her father's stubborn traits as well.Mia and Reed, Chloe, and Nero arrived with their kids. All four friends and their families are staying in the Gonsalves mansion until the wedding. The entire mansion is decorated with lights and drapes. The mansion is ready to witness the wedding of its owner with the woman he loves."She is" Mia agreed.All four men are chatting with each other, while their kids are playing with each other. The four women are sitting not too far away from their kids. As Mia's baby is still too young, she is playing inside the temporarily arranged playpen."So, I heard that you and Alesso are a thing now" Mia teased Olivia. Hera is being pampered by a group of beauticians. And so is Chloe. The women decided to take
Olivia and Alessandro participated in the wedding festivities of Hera and Matteo. They enjoyed their time with friends and family. But one thing that started bothering Livi was her dizzy spells. When Hera used to complain about feeling Dizzy a time or two because of her pregnancy, Livi wondered why she was feeling dizzy. Livi is not pregnant and she is sure about it. She is physical with Alessandro, but they never do it all the way. She is still a virgin in clinical terms. So she can't be pregnant. So her on-and-off dizzy spells started worrying her. Alesso was so happy with his friends, that she couldn't tell him about this and ruin his happiness. So she kept it to herself. Initially, the dizziness used to last only for a few seconds. But in the last two weeks after she came back to Chicago, the frequency of her dizziness increased and the time she was experiencing that feeling increased as well. It is the day after Hera's wedding. The newly wedded couple are off to an undisclosed l
Carlos is playing on his phone outside the hospital inside of which Olivia went. She told him to wait outside. When he asked her why she was going to a hospital, she told him that she had come here to meet a doctor who was a well-wisher when she used to live with the Rae family. He didn't think much about it and accompanied her. It's been a while since she went inside, but he didn't mind. He didn't have anything better to do anyway.Inside the Doctor Stan's cabin, Olivia is frozen with shock."George never wanted me to reveal this to anyone. Initially, when you started suffering from high fevers at three years of age, I saw you for the first time. I found out at that time that you have a clot in your brain. I told George and insisted that we should tell this to Ivan Volcov and your mother. But he threatened me. He was very close to Ivan Volcov then. So I got scared and kept it to myself. Since then I started giving you pills to ease your symptoms. Those pills suppressed your symptoms.
In the Volcov Mansion in Russia, Rose was tended to with care, and she finally recovered from the wounds inflicted upon her by Sylvia. Olivia asked her to go with them to Chicago. But Rose refused.'I don't have anyone there. But I have a husband here. You don't worry about me. I will be fine. You go and enjoy. You deserve it ' she assured Olivia. Reluctantly Olivia left Rose under Anesthesia's care. In the two weeks that Rose lived in the Volcov mansion, she never once tried to escape. She accepted her fate as Kairo's wife. Rose is buried under the weight of guilt. She is stunned to learn the atrocities of her parents towards Olivia and her mother. So she decided to pay the price for their crimes. "Miss, Mr.Bianchi is here to see you. He is waiting downstairs " A maid came inside the room and informed Rose.This is the first time her husband has come to visit her after he sent her away. Rose doesn't know who that woman was. She vaguely remembers that woman claiming that she is Kair
"You should see this Boss," Czar said quietly.Alessandro snatched the file and flipped it open. As his eyes caught the word clot and further, his eyesight became blurry and he couldn't read anything on the file. The file slipped from his unsteady hands and he sagged onto the floor and sat down with shock and pain."No, this is not true. Kairo, tell me this is some sick joke" he demanded with anger, fear, and pain.Kairo looked at him sadly."I wish I could" he whispered hoarsely.Alessandro clutched his chest as his heart started aching and the pain became unbearable. Alessandro broke then. His eyes became moist with unshed tears, as he started remembering his happy moments with Livi. "I don't know where to go. No one can understand my pain like you do. Because we both love her the same" Kairo said brokenly.Czar looked at both the men with sadness. Two men who are not afraid of anything and anyone are now on their knees and crying, for one woman.'I don't know if Olivia is lucky t
Happily ever after....Two years later..."Aaron, where are your sister and mother?" Alesso asked his one-and-a-half-year-old son. Livi gave birth to twins. She went into labor in her eighth month, and she gave birth to twins. The newborns were kept in the incubator because of their low birth weight for a week before they were allowed to take home. "Bla blah blah..." Aaron tried to tell where his sister was in his cute baby language. Alesso laughed at his cuteness. He carried the little bundle in the direction where he pointed out. Just like Livi, Serra, his daughter loves flowers and gardens. Mostly she likes to play in the mud. Livi allows it too. He found his beautiful wife and daughter in the garden."Hello beautiful ladies" he cooed. Immediately his daughter ran towards him with her muddy hands and all. Alesso leaned down to lift her as well. She smeared dirt all over his neck and shirt. But he didn't mind it one bit.Livi walked up to them and pecked his lips with love."Where
"Livi, you look beautiful. I am sure Alesso will be unable to keep his off of you" Mia complemented Livi."It will be a miracle if he doesn't demand all the men to get out because they all are watching his Wife" Chloe teased.Everyone laughed with mirth. Mia, Chloe, Hera, Rose, and Livi were all present in the room where Livi got ready for her wedding. The bride and the bridesmaids are chatting and laughing. Czar, Carlos, and his parents are all involved with the wedding preparations, making sure that the wedding will go on smoothly without a glitch. The entire Mansion is filled with laughter and cheer. Everyone has a smile on their faces. Mouth-watering food, and beautiful decor, and the mansion looks like a palace from a fairy tale. The wedding is going to take place in the backyard of the Volcov mansion. The entire backyard is decorated. On the far end of the backyard is the makeshift aisle. The aisle looks beautiful with two pillars on either side with a huge chandelier hanging
"Rose, you look good in that dress. My brother is going to fall head over heels in love with you" Livi complemented Rose.The sun has gone down, setting the surroundings with dim light. As Livi's wedding was the next morning, everyone decided to retire for the day early, so that the bride could get enough sleep. But Livi was feeling too nervous for her big day. So she couldn't fall asleep. She decides to sneak into Alesso's room but notices that Rose is awake and Alesso is forced to share a room with Kairo because of something that Russel said. So she decided to pester Rose instead. As Rose is one of her bridesmaids, she is trying her dress upon Livi's insistence. Rose gave Livi a forced smile. 'No, your brother is already in love with someone else. He will never fall for me ' she thought sadly, but kept that to herself. She doesn't want to upset Livi who looks so happy. "You are right, it looks good now that it is altered to my size" Rose agreed, ignoring Livi's comment about Kairo
"They crashed our party!" Mia exclaimed with excitement.The drunk woman hugged their men with drunk excitement."Looks like someone is happy to see us" Reed commented when he saw how happy Mia looked when she saw him."Very happy" she declared. They all started to chat and laugh with happiness. They all are relaxed. Matteo is pressing Hera's swollen feet, Reed is hugging Mia, when she complains of a cold wind. Chloe is sitting on Nero's lap. Alesso is rubbing Livi's back while she is sipping water. Only Rose and Kairo are sitting side by side. Kairo's arm is spread behind her on the couch. Absently he is playing with her hair."How did you guys even imagine that you would party and we wouldn't know about it?" Alesso asked with mirth.All the ladies pouted. "We just wanted to have fun" Livi mumbled defensively, and everyone bobbed their heads comically. The men chuckled. "Did you guys enjoy your party without us?" Reed asked.The woman slumped and felt dejected."We thought we wo
Livi, Alesso, Kairo, Rose, Russell, and the others traveled back to Russia, where the wedding would be going to happen in a week. The Volcov Mansion in Russia is decorated for the wedding, with drapes, hanging lights, and tents erected in the backyard where the marriage will commence. Fresh flowers will be replaced every day until the day of marriage. Rose, Chloe, Mia, and Hera are the bride's maids. While Nero, Reed, Kairo, and Matteo are the groomsmen.The entire group landed in Russia to participate in the festivities five days earlier. Women planned to celebrate the bachelorette party in a yacht, and they all planned to keep the location a secret so that their husbands couldn't crash their party like every other time. "Cheers to our Olivia" all the ladies cheered to the bride-to-be. Only Hera is not drinking alcohol, but the others are. They all drank shots, followed by dancing. Loud music and lots of fun. As they were the only people partying, they were having a lot of fun. "
In the warehouse, John was tortured within an inch of his life. Alessandro and Kairo took turns in torturing him. And they enjoyed it thoroughly. They made him a crying and begging mess. By the time they were done, he was lying in his shit and pee. "This should teach everyone not to ever cross us. You mess with what's ours, we will mess with you" Alessandro said with a sneer.Kairo threw the bloody knife away. Just like he once told Rose that he is very good at carving. When he was carving John's face, he only remembered her. As sick and twisted as it might look, he is missing her badly."K...ka.Kairo" John whispered with a sinister smile before he took his last breath. Those words made Kairo feel uneasy. Even Alessandro is frowning. Something in the dead man's eyes made Kairo feel unsettled."What does he mean by that?" Naim asked with confusion.But both Kairo and Alessandro were quiet, lost in their thoughts."Dispose of his body. I am going home. You coming?" Kairo asked Alessan
When John entered the warehouse where Kairo was keeping Alessandro captive, he laughed out loud when he saw Alessandro tied to a chair and leaning forward with his head down. The area is dimly lit and he couldn't see Alessandro's face. But the thick smell of blood wafting from inside the warehouse is making him feel excited."Well, well, well, it looks like Kairo did a number on the great Alessandro Volcov," he said loudly and clapped his hands while laughing. Naim appeared then along with a few of Kairo's men. John looked around, searching for Kairo."Where is your boss, Naim? Did he become tired after torturing this Russian?" John asked with a wide grin.A chuckle rang loudly around the warehouse then. John looked around to find the source of the chuckle, only to find Alessandro walking in from behind him. John is shocked to see Alessandro there. He was thinking that the man tied to the chair was Alessandro. "You? If you are here, then where is Kairo?" John asked with panic.Aless
'Kairo will not be pleased to hear that you cornered his wife 'When Sylvia hears those words, her heart is filled with hatred for Rose. She wanted to kill Rose then and there. But that would push Kairo away from her. So she had her emotions and acted pitifully."I know Rose. I know you are his wife now. I know you must have wondered why he never touched you, didn't you?" Sylvia guessed. And by the look of discomfort on Rose's face, she understood that she guessed right."Please step aside and let me go" Rose demanded again. She started to feel increasingly uncomfortable and her gut instinct told her to run. But Sylvia blocked the way and she couldn't leave until she moved aside.Sylvia sniffed."I know I am making you feel uncomfortable. But I had to share this with you. Because Kairo refused to listen to me" she sniffed and pretended to cry.Rose frowned with concern. The vengeful woman who abused her in Russia looked arrogant. But now, she is crying. Nothing is making any sense to
Kairo is waiting impatiently for John to make his move. They made theirs and now it's John's turn. The faster they finish John, the sooner he can move back to the Volcov Mansion. He is strangely missing his clumsy wife too. As if reading his mind, his mobile started ringing. He looked at the called id and sneered. It's from an unknown number. Kairo is sure it must be from John."Kairo Bianchi" he answered the call arrogantly.Silence followed after that. Just when Kairo was about to disconnect the call, John spoke up."Kairo, how have you been?" John asked as if he hadn't tried to kill Kairo a few days ago using Antonio.Kairo seethed silently."John? I thought you were trying to kill me. Stop pretending as if you care about my well-being. I am in a bad mood now. What do you want?" Kairo asked bluntly. He couldn't let John know that he was actually waiting for his call. John smirked with satisfaction. He expected this from Kairo. If he fought with Alessandro, obviously he would be in
