"Antonio" Kairo greeted into the phone.Antonio is furious. He learned where his consignments were. And he didn't like it one bit. Five of his consignments have gone missing at once before they can reach the shore. "Kairo, that Alexandro seized all of my weapon consignments. I don't know where they are, but I will lose more than three million dollars if he doesn't return my weapons. He is doing this on purpose. I know it. He is not liking you meeting your sister. He is showing his anger at me. This is not done Kairo. You have to retaliate now. We cannot simply sit down and allow him to control us. Who does he think he is? You go and bring Olivia to your home. That will teach him a lesson about what we can do if he tries to scare us" Antonio yelled from the other end. Kairo is shocked to hear this. Based on what he understood about Alessandro, he is not someone who would do things like this. His plan of action will be direct. "Antonio, you don't worry. I will try to speak with him"
Alessandro chuckled at his request. "Friend? Are you sure about that Kairo? Is it only you? Or does he treat you as his friend too?" he inquired sarcastically.The Italian boss frowned. He didn't like the way Alessandro was speaking."Volcov, be mindful of what you are speaking. Of course, he treats me as his friend. He is loyal to me to the core. He offered me his sister's hand for marriage. I trust him completely" he defended Antonio fiercely. Alesso snorted sarcastically."You going to marry his sister? Wonderful. Just for confirmation, is she the same woman who accompanied you to the Volcov mansion yesterday? The same woman who was giving me 'Come get me ' signs? Is she the one?" he asked with amusement.Kairo glared at Alessandro."Leave Sylvia out of this. She is not like you are portraying her to be. She is smart and loyal, just like her brother" he growled with anger.Alessandro chuckled, not at all affected by his outburst. He can see that Kairo is blindsided by his loyalty
It's Antonio who froze this time. He belatedly realized his mistake. He was so angry that he did not pause to think about what he was doing. He just spoke things that he shouldn't have. "Kairo, you know how much I like you. We have been friends for years now. You are going to marry my sister. I just thought that it would be good to make our relationship strong. That's why I asked Olivia. You know very well how fleeting the attention span of men in our world is. Alessandro might like Olivia now, but can you guarantee that he would still like her after two years? Or five years down the line? What then? What would happen to her after he discards her and picks up someone else? If I marry her, I will take care of her until my last breath. I only do things that will be good for you and your sister. It's deeply hurting me to even think that you misunderstood my intentions" he lied and manipulated Kairo.Not only Kairo, but everyone in the mafia world knows and accepts the fact that men in t
Catherine and Rose found themselves tied to opposite chairs by the time they woke up from the effects of the chloroform that was given to them. They tugged at the ties that bound them to the chairs with panic. "Ahh...""Help"They started screaming for help. They can only see each other, as the rest of the part of the warehouse is basked in the darkness. There is only one light hanging over their heads, which is throwing some light on both of them. Their screams started echoing around the warehouse."Mom, what is happening? Why are we here? You said no one would hurt us as they only want Dad. Now why are we here? I am so scared Mom" Rose cried with fear.Catherine is also scared. She thought the Russians were after George. Now that they kidnapped George, she thought she could live happily with the money George earned for them. But she was not expecting this to happen. "Who is there? Why did you kidnap us? We don't know anything. Please, untie us" she demanded with false bravado.Cza
Olivia is shocked to hear this. She always thought that Rose hated her for no apparent reason.Now she understood where that hate was coming from.She leaned on Alesso for comfort. All her life was a joke and a cruel one at that. People played with her emotions. She only ever had Hera for emotional support. She worked part-time jobs for her expenses. Catherine used to make her work at home like a maid and then she used to go to school. Then she used to work in a nearby coffee shop as a waitress for a few hours before going back home and working on dinner again. She used to only rest for a few hours before she had to wake up and repeat the process again. To say that she was doing all that from the age of ten is saying it all."You ok?" Alesso whispered softly.She gave him a stiff nod. When compared to the time in the past, she is more than okay now. Alesso is treating her like a princess. She never thought that she would find peace in a man who kills people for fun. But she did, and s
Catherine is shivering with fear. When she agreed to use Olivia's mother, she was so confident that no one could find out about what they did. They planned everything carefully and with utmost precision. No one suspected a thing until now. Even Olivia was under the delusion that George was her father. But now, right after George is missing or dead, things take an ugly turn. She lied to her daughter who was taking Olivia's side when she was young. Rose used to refuse and argue when Olivia was treated badly. So Catherine started lying to her, making it look like Olivia was the bad guy here. It worked. Until now. All her lies came back to haunt her. But what is hurting her the most is the way Rose is looking at her. With distrust and anger. Despite being the worst female for Olivia and her mother, Catherine loved her daughter dearly. To look at the hatred in her daughter's eyes feels like a dagger to her heart."Shelby, Olivia's mother, was a very beautiful lady. She was so beautiful tha
Kairo looked at Catherine with hatred. He wanted to kill his father and George for how they played with his mother's life. He is planning how to torture Catherine until his anger is reduced and she is nothing but a body bathed in blood. She did something worse to another woman, just for money. "How could you? You destroyed and killed my mother. As if that is not enough, you tortured my sister as well. I will destroy your daughter's life just like how you destroyed my mother's life. You deserve to die with the heartache and regret of how helpless you are and how much your daughter is suffering because of your sins. I will make her pay with blood" he declared with anger. Catherine became pale. She never thought a day would come where Rose will have to see this kind of day."No, please. You can kill me. But spare my daughter. She is innocent" she begged. But Rose looked resigned, as if she already accepted her fate.Alessandro and his men are quiet. They know this is Kairo's personal
In the Volcov mansion, Livi is sad and feels guilty that she couldn't help Rose. No matter how much she begged, her brother refused to listen to her. He married Rose in front of a registrar and officially made her his wife. Catherine begged and pleaded to stop him but to no avail. He is not at all ready to see reason. Now, Rose has become his wife. What shocked everyone was that Rose signed the marriage papers without protest. She is calm and looks resigned. Olivia tried to speak with her, but Kairo dragged her away to the warehouse. Later he returned back and tortured Catherine within an inch of her life. But he didn't kill her completely. He kept her alive though. He wants her to see how he is going to torture Rose. All of this disturbed Olivia. Just then, her mobile started ringing. She answered the call without looking at the caller ID. "Hello," she answered dully."Olivia? What happened? You sound unwell" Hera asked from the other end with concern.When Livi heard Hera's voice,
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
