"I am in charge of the is task here. Not you" Ian snapped with anger.Liam is calm and composed, unlike Ian who looks angry and irritated. "You might be in charge of this mission, you definitely don't have the final say in everything. In fact, you are giving me this strong feeling that you don't have the best interest of Mr. Bianchi. You are giving me the strong vibes that you are somehow trying to sabotage this particular task. Your words and actions show that you have something else in mind. I think I should inform our boss about this. And then let him decide who will become in charge of this mission" Liam threatened. Ian is a little scared of the threat. He knows that Liam is not bluffing. In fact, Liam has been trying in vain for years to show that Ian is not trustworthy. But Ian was always careful and never gave Thiago a chance to doubt his intentions. But now, if Liam raises a complaint about his behavior towards Russell, several people around him can testify that Liam is righ
"Baby sis, taste this and tell me how it is" Kairo placed a steaming plate of what looks like pasta in front of Olivia. She took one look at the mess on the plate with horror. The penne pasta is overcooked and out of shape. The sauce is looking watery. And overall, the pasta looks as if it is cooked by an amateur who is just learning how to cook.When she lifted her head to tell him that she was having a bad feeling about the pasta, she couldn't. He is looking at her expectantly. His apron is splattered with pasta sauce. He worked hard to cook this, and it is showing. She didn't have the heart to disappoint him. So she picked up the fork and tentatively ate a forkful of pasta into her mouth. Despite the look on the plate, the paste is not inedible. The sauce is good if we ignore the overcooked pasta. "How is it?" he asked with a hopeful smile.She beamed at him and lifted her thumb finger to show that it was good."It is nice brother" she half lied.He grinned at her compliment. He d
In Peru, Alessandro's private aircraft just landed. Thiago came personally to welcome the Russian mob boss. "Mr. Volcov, welcome. It's a pleasure to have you here in Peru" Thiago greeted with a genuine smile.Alessandro gave him a curt nod."I don't want to waste any time here. I want to go to the rainforest right away. I want you to send someone with me who is acknowledged with the layout of the forest" Alessandro expressed his wish curtly.Thiago nodded eagerly."Sure Mr. Volcov. Whatever you say. Just give me a few minutes. I will call the guide here. After that, we can depart immediately" he agreed easily.Alessandro raised a brow. Thiago just now indicated that he will join Alessandro, which took the Russian boss by surprise."Are you planning to come with me?" he inquired.Thiago smiled at him."It's a pleasure to join you Mr. Volcov. But only if you agree" he replied politely. Alessandro considered his offer carefully. The Peruvian is trying to pleasure Alessandro. But the Ru
Alessandro landed near the tribe in the rainforest where Russell used to live. Soon Thiago and a few of their men descended using the ropes that were dangling from the chopper that they used to travel from Peru."Mr. Volcov, this is the tribe where Mr. Russell used to live. If you follow me, I will show you his hut" the man whom Thiago brought to show them the location shared with respect.Alessandro gave a curt nod in return and followed after the man. Not soon after, they entered a modest hut, as the curious but skeptical gazes of the tribal people followed after them. "Thus place is empty. He is not here" Alessandro murmured while carefully taking a look around the hut. There is nothing in here that suggests that Russell came to this hut after he came from Chicago. A thin layer of dust is settled on every visible surface of the hut.Thiago nodded, agreeing with Alessandro. "You know the local language. Go and ask around in the tribe" he instructed their guide. That man immediate
Shaino, who was trying to hide from everyone and his men slowly slid down the tree and ran toward his village to ask for help. As soon as Ian and his men disappeared from his sight, he all but ran for his life. He is also worried about the old Russell. He didn't take ten steps in the direction of his village when he heard the first scream. He froze for a moment. He remembered what Liam suggested. He is still holding the radio device in his hands tightly as if his life depended on it. He hesitated to use the device. But when Russell's face flashed in his mind, he decided to help his mentor. Just like Liam instructed, he pressed the green button. Some buzzing sound came from the speaker of the radio. "Hello, Liam? You there? Liam?" a voice rang from the other end.Shaino hesitated to speak. Another scream rang from a distance, which made him panic."S..sir, I am not Liam. He gave this device to me before leaving...... " Shaino explained everything that happened between Ian and Liam and
Shaino is scared to face a bunch of angry snakes."He is right sir. All of my men are killed out there. They were all bitten by snakes. I don't know how that happened. But everything happened faster than we could understand. One moment everything was peaceful. But the next moment, all the snakes started attacking my men as if they were possessed. My men didn't stand a chance. We had to abandon my men to save Mr. Russell. But in the end, he was bitten too. It's not safe to go out there" Liam spoke up, supporting Shaino's guess.Alessandro is tense and anxious. He doesn't know how to save the old man. His eyes turned red, and he felt helpless. He doesn't want to look at Olivia when she learns about her grandfather's condition."Alesso leaves" Russell whispered weakly.Alessandro is startled and looks at Russell, whose eyes are barely open."Sir, Mr. Russell wanted me to take these leaves and hand them over to his apprentice. He said that these leaves would save his granddaughter. He wan
"Brother, where is Alesso? You told me he will be back soon. And he promised that he would be back soon. But it's been two days. There is no call or a message or anything from him. Do you have any idea where he is?" Olivia asked Kairo, who was equally tense. Just an hour ago, Thiago called him to notify him about everything that was happening back in the rainforest. He also informed Kairo that he was coming to Chicago with the medicine. So Kairo knows about his grandfather's condition and Alessandro is trying to save the old man. In short, both of them are in a very dangerous situation. But Kairo cannot tell all of this to his sister. She is going to take the next dose of her medicine today, and two days from then. Kairo is hoping that Alessandro and Russell will come back before that. "He is tied up with some work. If it was not so important, he would have been back by now. You know he cannot stay away from you for much longer" he lied.Livi is not convinced, especially when Kairo s
Alessandro and the tribal man successfully plucked the leaves that would save Russell and safely came back to the tribe. Just like Liam and Shaino mentioned, a part of the forest became too dangerous for everyone. So the tribal man decided to alert his tribe and the other tribes nearby so that they all would be cautious and stay away from that area for a while. On the other hand, Shaino prepared the anti-clot medicine for Olivia and sent it with Thiago. Liam stayed to make sure that he might help if it was needed. Everyone was waiting with batted breath for Alessandro, who returned back after almost three hours. Russell lost his conscience completely. When Shaino saw the leaves, he was really happy and so grateful for Alessandro who brought them. Immediately he got back to work and prepared the anti-venom and administered it to Russell through his mouth. After that, everyone started waiting for the medicine to work and for the old man to recover."Mr. Volcov, please eat this. We could
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
