Sccessfully Olivia was shifted back to the Volcov mansion. Both Kairo and Russell Bianchi also temporarily decided to stay there until her recovery. Russell wanted to keep his granddaughter away from Alessandro. So he decided to stay with his granddaughter and keep an eye on her. "Here, you can stay in this room" Kairo showed his grandfather to a guest room, which was the farthest room available from Olivia's room. What's more, Olivia will stay in Alessandro's room, which the old man doesn't know about. Russell frowned and looked around the corridor, searching for Olivia's room."Where is Olivia staying? I want to stay in a room closer to hers so that I can keep an eye on her health" he half lied.Kairo rolled his eyes, seeing past his plan. "Grandpa, there is no other room available as of now. I can understand your intentions. But for now, please adjust in this room" Kairo said with sugary sweetness.Russell glared at him. His wrinkled cheeks puffed with anger."You shameless kid,
To think that they will even speak about you is an insult to them" Kairo said truthfully. Antonio is furious to hear this."Kairo" he snapped.Kairo glared at Antonio. A dozen Russian guards surrounded Antonio and Sylvia, as the Portuguese tone and attitude were threatening Kairo, who is an ally now.Antonio is shocked to see himself being surrounded by the guards."Keep your voice down Antonio. My sister is resting in her room. I don't want you to disturb her with your nonsense" Kairo advised the Portuguese man.Antonio was not expecting this when he decided to visit Kairo. "What happened to you? You changed a lot. You promised to marry my sister, but you broke your promise and married someone else. It is me who should be upset with you. But despite your wrongdoing, I still came here to talk to you and learn why you did that. But here you are, standing in the enemy lair and throwing insults at me like this. Is this how you treat your friend?" Antonio questioned. Kairo nodded at th
Alessandro is looking at his Livi, who is sleeping peacefully. Despite gaining a little color on her cheeks, she is still not the same Livi. She lost some weight and he felt her bones poking his arms when he carried her inside their room. She looks fragile, which is still making him worried about her. He could never forget the fear he experienced when she was lying on the hospital bed in an unconscious state. Hera came to visit Livi, but the latter was sleeping. So Hera did not disturb her and left after making sure that her friend was doing well. Kyle, Nero Chole, Reed, and Mia, everyone came to visit Livi in the hospital. They all try to offer some strength to Alessandro, but they all know it's useless. Despite that, they used to visit every day and stay with him for hours taking turns. Not once did they leave him alone with Livi. They were equally worried about both Livi and Alessandro. And he will forever be grateful for their support. Slowly Olivia woke up. Her sleepy gaze met h
"Don't say that" she whispered. Suddenly she started feeling too cold. Goosebumps appeared on her skin and her teeth started chattering. When Alessandro noticed that her body suddenly started turning cold, he frowned."Livi?" he asked with panic, as anxiety started bubbling inside him. She lost consciousness before she could reply. After that, everything happened faster than anyone could blink."Kairo" Alessandro yelled. The Italian, who was in a bad mood after his not-so-friendly chat with Antonio was in the living area, getting ready to go out for some work when he heard Alessandro's voice. He recognized the fear and panic in the Russian's voice. He rushed upstairs as fast as his feet could carry him. Czar, Naim, and Carlos followed closely after him."Naim, go and bring my grandfather" he yelled while making his way towards Alessandro's room.Naim took a 'U' turn and rushed to fetch the old doctor. When Kairo, Czar, and Carlos walked inside the room, Alessandro was cradling an
"Antonio, what is happening between you and Kairo Bianchi?" one of the clients who is into women trafficking asked Antonio. This man named John is the biggest investor in women's trafficking and Antonio receives most of his profits from John. All of Antonio's dealings in human trafficking are partnered with Kairo. Most of the money is invested by the Italian boss, but more profits are taken by Antonio. The Italian used to trust the Portuguese so much that he never bothered to check if Antonio was cheating or not. So Antonio used to gain more money with little to no risk from this business, until now."What do you mean, John?" Antonio asked, feigning ignorance. John is quiet for a moment before answering."Kairo Bianchi took all the women away, whom you both sold to me. He even paid me the money I gave you guys for them. He declared that he stopped doing this business and threatened me not to buy or sell women in his outfit. I thought you already knew about this" John explained. Anto
The doctor, who is Russell Bianchi's friend changed a lot after Russell disappeared. But the older Bianchi doesn't know that. He became corrupt. He turned into the kind of person who would do anything for money and fame. He was one of the doctors who treated Olivia before Russell appeared in the picture. He knows how complicated her case was. No one could treat her. But after Russell came, she started recovering. That amazed him to no end. He tried to ask Russell about the miracle medicine, but the old man told him about the name of a leaf, the likes of which are not listed anywhere. Now, he is appointed to treat Olivia, and he will soon get his hands on the medicine. Alessandro didn't trust this new doctor who was claiming to be Russell's friend. He is so sharp, that he refuses to hand over all the loaded needles to this doctor. Safely he hid the needles in a safe. Only he knows the passcode of that safe. He appointed a man to keep tabs on this doctor, and the doctor doesn't know ab
"What do you want Antonio?" Kairo snapped angrily.After Czar told him about their spying messenger from Antonio, he became furious. He has been ignoring Antonio's calls intentionally. He decided to stay as far away from Portugal as possible. Antonio is agitated. "What happened? You tell me what is happening with you. John called me. He told me that you refused to do business with him. You didn't even think it was necessary to tell me before taking such a big decision" Antonio fired.Kairo gritted his teeth. He indeed decided never to do business with people again. Alessandro helped him to arrange a new livelihood for the people rescued from John. That gave him immense relief. He vowed to never treat any woman harshly or with disrespect again. His mother and sister were at the receiving end of that kind of thing. So he decided not to let any woman suffer under his watch."Why should I tell you anything? The money we used in that business was mine. But you used to reap the profits. I
"Don't peek" Alessandro instructed her for the third time. Olivia's curiosity is spiked so much, that she is tempted to take a peek and see what the fuss is all about. But she controlled her urge."How much longer?" she asked impatiently. It's just been a couple of minutes from the time asked her to come out of the car and made her close her eyes. When they parked their car, it was pitch black everywhere. Even if her eyes were open, she was sure she wouldn't be able to see anything. "Now, you can open your eyes" he spoke softly near her eyes. When she opened her, she gasped with surprise. Lights are lit everywhere. It feels like a carnival, but they are the only two people around. Small food stalls, games stalls, Merry go rounds, and there are many more games spread in front of her."Wow," she whispered, truly amazed.From a very young age, she used to love carnivals. But neither George nor Catherine took her there. They simply made it a point to torture her with everything they coul
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
