"I need your help" These are not the words that Alesso was expecting to hear when he was informed by his guards that Livi is here. But he is not surprised. He can guess what help she needs from him. Livi is young, innocent and loyal to a core. She will stick to the people she loves through thick and thin. That is one of the qualities he likes about her. He knows how rare it is to find loyal people these days. Hera is lucky to have a friend like Livi."Is it? Hmm, what do I get in return?" he asked, trying to assess how far Livi would go to help the only person she cares about in this world. Olivia was expecting this question. And she came prepared with what she wants to offer. She knows help from mafia men would not come freely. They would definitely expect something in return. But she is neither rich nor has many things she could offer him that he lack. There is only one thing she is thinking that he might be interested in."I know I belong to you. But you gave me five years to liv
Two months ago.....Today is Olivia's birthday. But no one wished her. It is not uncommon. Her father never cared about things like these, and her step mother never cared about her to bother about her birthday. It was only Hera who used to wish her with a gift and they both used to celebrate it in their quirky style. Hera never made her feel lonely on her special day. But this time, Hera is buried in her own misery. So Olivia is not shocked that Hera forgot her best friend's birthday. As the day passed by, Olivia felt depressed. No one knows that it's her birthday and Hera is back in the Gonsalves villa with Matteo. Even though the latter hasn't regained his memories yet, Hera couldn't refuse when he asked her to go with him. Now, Olivia is alone in the dorm again.Olivia is sitting alone in her dorm room when her mobile pinged with an incoming message. She thought it must be Hera's text. But she is surprised to see Alessandro's name instead. In the past couple of months, she softened
A week after her birthday, Olivia found herself rubbing her temples with frustration. She is on the phone with Alessandro, and he is grating on her nerves."Livi, it's just a temporary arrangement. I am coming this evening and I want you in my mansion by then. I don't want to hear anything against it" he said with finality.She groaned."Seriously Volcov? Now you started giving me orders? That Sussane is after Hera. Why are you being so over protective? I will promise you that I will not go out of the campus. And you already arranged a baby sitter named, Carlos for me. Your mansion is on the other side of the city. It would take me two hours to come to and fro from the university. We can avoid that if I stay here. And moreover, it's not easy for you to come here from Russia only for this. Czar told me how busy you are. Why don't we save each other's time" she argued anyway.Their relationship developed slowly. Now they have reached a point where they both are comfortable with each oth
Olivia was forced awake from all the jolting and shuffling around her. When her eyes were opened, she saw a very worried Alessandro carrying her in his arms."Volcov? You kidnapping me now?" she whispered with a hint of amusement. Her head is hurting too much and it feels like someone is splitting it open. But she is really happy to see Alesso to the point that she didn't register the pain until after a couple of minutes. When she spoke, Alessandro stopped walking and looked at her with relief. "Little one, thank god. How are you feeling?" he asked with worry.She grimaced when she began to register the pain in her head."My head" she moaned while trying touch the back of her head.He swiftly carried her into his car and gently made her sit before he folded inside the car and sat beside her. He gently touched the back of her head and found a big bump."Damn it" he muttered with anger. He understood that Sussane must have hit Livi's head with something hard."Ahh...Volcov, I feel diz
Natasha Tarasova is a very famous model in Russian. She had her eyes on Alessandro for a while now. To the common people in Russia, he is a successful business man. He was nominated as the most eligible bachelor for the last five years continuously. He is one of the top five richest men in Russia. He is handsome and charming. He used to entertain different women on his arm every time he attended a social gathering. But for the past few years, he is seen attending all the events alone. That was when Natasha started sleeping with him. No matter how much she insisted, he never agreed to be seen with her in public. And from the last five months, he is ignoring her altogether. But Natasha is hellbent on marrying him. Her career as a model started declining. But she got used to this luxurious lifestyle and the attention. If she marries him, she can still continue her lifestyle. She found out that Alessandro is spending most of his time in Chicago these days. So she decided to drop by his m
"Who is she?" Natasha asked with annoyance.While Olivia processed what Alessandro just shared, she understood that he doesn't want their uninvited guest here. An idea popped in her head. Her eyes twinkled with mirth. Before Alessandro could reply, she beat him to it."Oh, I am his property" she replied shyly.Czar hid his chuckle of amusement with a cough.Alessandro looked at her with confusion, until he noticed the mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Livi" he cautioned her. She is young and innocent, while Natasha is anything but innocent. He doesn't want Natasha to insult Livi again.Natasha is frowning now."What? What do you mean by his property?" she demanded while looking at Alessandro for answers.Olivia batted her eye lashes just like Natasha did a while ago. She bit her lower lip shyly for emphasis. "I mean, I belong to him, in every way" she stressed the last part, intentionally making it look like there is something going on between her and Alessandro. Olivia stood on her
The next day, Livi devised a plan to get back at Alesso."Miss Rae, do you think this is a good plan?" Czar asked hesitantly.Olivia planned to make Alesso eat spicy food. She mixed extra chillies into the food which is meant for Alesso. The chef just prepared the dish and left the kitchen. That's when she entered the kitchen and mixed chilles into that dish. Czar is her partner in crime."It is" she replied confidently, while Czar looked troubled. After she is done tampering with the dish, she ran out before someone could see her there. Czar quickly followed after her. They both hid behind a pillar while awaiting Alesso's arrival. Just after a few minutes, Alesso walked in along with Carlos."He took her away for a while" Carlos said.Alesso nodded."Keep an eye on that Rossi's. Both the brothers are equally dangerous" Alesso instructed while both the men sat on the dining table.Maids rushed to cater to their boss. The chef immediately brought all the dishes he prepared for that d
"Did I tell you how hot you are looking today?" Carlos flirted with Olivia. She is wearing a purple dress that hugs her body till her waist before it flares and reaches her knees. The sleeves are ruffled sleeves. She looks like a doll with her brown hair tied into a high ponytail wearing only pink lip balm.Carlos is driving Livi back to the Volcov mansion from the university. "Why don't you share the same with Alessabdro? I am sure he would love to hear how I look in the new clothes he bought for me" she suggested sarcastically.He glared at her comically through the rare view mirror."I know it. You are planning to make my scary cousin kill me" he complained dramatically. She rolled her eyes at his drama."Volcov is sweet. I am sure he will not kill you just yet. He will torture you for days until you no longer feel that I look hot. Then he will ask you how I would look wearing a garbage bag. You will obviously say that I will look dirty. Then he will kill you for offending me. He
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
