"So you are keeping an eye on us I see" Antonio smirked. Kairo noticed how tense Antonio was. He is not showing anything on his face. But his shoulders are stiff and there is a tightness in his smirk. It's easy to ignore if Kairo was not observing Antonio keenly. Kairo knows about Antonio. He has known the Portuguese man for more than ten years now. Kairo knows how Antonio acts and behaves if he is hiding something. Now, Kairo understands that Antonio has something up his sleeve. 'What did they plan to do here? My men could easily overpower them in a minute. But still, Antonio came here so confidently. I am sure he has a plan in motion ' Kairo thought.He ignored Antonio's earlier statement. "What do you want? Why did you come here? I already made sure that I don't want to see your face again. Then what made you come here? Is it John? He sent you here, right? For what? To hurt me, or someone else?" Kairo questioned. Antonio became tense. He did not think that Kairo would guess so
Alesso and Kairo's men who are outside the office room are unaffected. They aimed their guns at Antonio and his men, who were aiming their borrowed guns at Kairo, Czar, Carlos, Naim, and a few others. Antonio is pointing his gun directly at Kairo. He is a glaring dagger at Kairo. "You shouldn't have ditched me for your sister, Kairo. You should have married Sylvia. We would have been so happy. But look at you now. You are going to die soon" Antonio mocked Kairo.Kairo smirked, not at all worried that his head was near the tip of a gun."Now you decide to show your true colors? Why am I not shocked? Because I already know you are an asshole" he sneered.Antonio gritted his teeth and pushed his gun closer to Kairo's head."I would be very careful with my words if I were in your place. It will take a split second for me to pull this trigger and end your life" he reminded Kairo.The Italian chuckled without humor. "Really? Did you see around you? You are surrounded by my men. If you thi
In the RV, Rose was reading a book when someone opened the door from outside. She looked up and saw that it was none other than Alessandro Volcov. She is terrified of these mafia men, her husband included. Now when she came face to face with one of them, her palms started to sweat with fear. "M...Mr. Volcov" she stuttered and swiftly stood up to her feet.Alesso looked at Rose with a blank face. He found out everything about Rose and her family when her father first betrayed him. He learned that both the Rae family's daughters were good. Where Olivia was feisty, Rose was gentle. George fed Rose all the wrong things about Olivia, effectively separating both the girls. He never particularly had a bad opinion of Rose. Not then, and not now. He feels that she can prove to be a good wife to Kairo."Where is Olivia?" he asked her. He is not gentle, but at the same time not harsh either.Rose pointed her finger toward the bedroom. He bypassed her and disappeared inside the room. After he l
In the RV, when Alessandro walked inside the room where Livi was resting, he froze with surprise. He is spellbound while looking at her in awe. In the last five days, she recovered tremendously and is no longer looking frail and pale. Colour returned to her cheeks and she looked healthy and stunning. Just like the first time he kissed her. She is lying on her stomach while resting her cheek on the back of her palm. She is looking peaceful. He couldn't disturb her even though he wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her the way he wanted to kiss her. He missed her a lot. So much that she is the only thing that matters. And the rest can wait. He sat on the mattress beside her and gently touched her face to make sure that she was real. He cannot believe his eyes at how stunning and angelic she is looking. As if feeling him nearby, she moved closer to him and snuggled to his side. Now her head is resting on his thigh.'My Livi, my baby. How I missed you ' he thought to himself and ge
In an undisclosed location, John is fuming. He just found out about how miserably Antonio failed and how Alessandro and Kairo trapped him. "Like idiots, we just walked into their traps. This is unacceptable. They cannot win. For as long as I remember, no one dared to stand against me. But these two men openly opposed me and caused me to lose face among my peers. Their audacity cannot be forgiven. I will not forgive them. They will pay. One way or another. And soon. That Antonio is useless anyway. Getting rid of him is not an issue. He doesn't know where I am. So I am safe. But being safe is not what I want. I want revenge. I will not let them be happy. They will cry blood tears. And I will make sure they do" he declared out loud in his hotel room.His employee who was listening to his words winced with discomfort.'Mr. Bianchi and Mr. Volcov are dangerous to deal with separately. But my boss is planning to go against them when they are working together. When did his ego begin to over
The next morning, Kairo is on an important phone call with his underboss Naim. "You know I cannot come there now. My sister received the last shot of her medicine just now. She is fine. But the threat of John is still looming on her head. I know all the disturbances and trivial issues that suddenly happened in Italy might be his doing. He is trying to force me to leave Chicago. I know Alesso can handle things alone, but I want to be there for my sister. You remind them who the boss is. Take necessary measures to fix things. Kill if you had to. But restore the balance like it used to. Keep me posted" he instructed his underboss before disconnecting the call.Suddenly a few people in Italy started causing trouble. They are looting banks under Kairo's name, which forces the cops to intervene. But Kairo has most of them under his payroll and they all know that Kairo is in Chicago. And most importantly, Kairo has enough money to open ten banks and he doesn't have to loot a bank for his po
Alesso and Olivia walked down the stairs hand in hand. The ring on her finger cannot be missed easily. They both spent quality time with each other the previous day after he proposed to her. He told her about the real reason why he had to go to Peru and how much he missed her. That eased her mind a little. They spent the day and the entire night in the RV. They only just came inside the Mansion when the doctor came to give the last shot to Olivia. She dozed off a little after the shot, but she woke up soon enough. Her recovery is evident. She is more energetic and glowing."I would have kept you locked in our room if I didn't have to feed you and take care of you" Alesso teased her, while pulling her closer to him possesively. She blushed at his comment. She understood what he was indicating. "We can skip breakfast. You can eat me instead" she teased him with a shy smile.He paused descending the stairs and looked at her with his heated gaze."I am half a second away from doing just
By the time Russell came back to the Volcov Mansion, Alesso, Livi, Kairo, and Rose were having their lunch. He stopped near the threshold of the dining area and looked at the kids who were laughing and chatting. None of them noticed him. His anxious mind is settled when he looks at Livi who looks healthy. He saw her petting a dog on her left. That's when he saw the ring on her finger. He didn't feel angry or upset. He was very happy. Now he knows that Alesso will never mistreat her and she will be happy with him. He is happy to see them happy. "Not like that. You should peel it this way. Then it would be easy" Kairo's voice made Russell look at the girl who was sitting beside him. He was showing her how to peel a shrimp. The girl tried again, but she couldn't peel it. Kairo groaned."Here, eat this" Kairo offered her the shrimp he peeled and started feeding her himself. Just then, the dog Olivia was petting slowly sauntered closer to Rose. When Rose felt the wet snout of Sandy touch
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
