That night, Matteo felt happy that she agreed to come. Even if she didn't, he is sure he would have kidnapped her here by force. He knows that it is wrong. But for some reason he is obsessed over her strongly. He doesn't even know her name untill a few hours ago. But the urge to possess her and make her his is so strong that he is unable to control it. He never faced this uncomfortable urge before. He always used to pride himself for his self-restraint. But Hera is like a Trump card that made him realise that he can force a woman as well. He walked inside his bed room, as anticipation bubbled inside him. He paused when he saw her standing in the middle of his room with a blank face. She is looking at the floor. But when she heard the door being opened she raised her head and looked at me. Her gaze met his, and his heart began to pound in his chest. Her eyes are looking at him with an unknown emotion. He wanted to reach out and hug her. But that would only complecate things further.
The next morning, Hera woke up in the familiar room wrapped up in the arms of the man whom she loves more than herself. He is still sleeping, but she got used to waking up early. She began working in a cafe as a barista. She has to report at Five thirty in the morning and open the cafe by six after cleaning. Her shift ends at nine, just in time to attend her first class. She is half lying on top of him and he has a death hold around her. But after two months, this is the first time she slept peacefully. She looked at the time. She woke just in time to shower and leave for work. She tried to untangle herself from him, but his eyes snapped open."Where are you going?" he demanded.He doesn't want her to go anywhere. Holding her like this and sharing a bed with her feel natural. The ache in his chest is no more, and he feel content.Hera gave him a tight smile. She doesn't know how to behave with him."I have to report to work by 5.30" she explained.Matteo looked at the time. It's alr
In Matteo's office, he can't seems to keep his mind off Hera. Her parted lips and the sounds she made when she came are making him hard for her. He is beginning to feel like that she has done some kind of witchcraft over him and he became her slave. He is trying hard not to let his mind wander towards her. But he is failing miserably. His gaze kept going to his watch, looking at the time. She will be home by five, and he want her again. This time he wanted to possess her completely.His assistants knock on the door gave him a moment of reprive from her thoughts."What is it Nova?" he asked.Nova noticed that his boss is in a better mood today.Nova is not very happy to announce the arrival of Sussane. But he cannot tell his boss that she is a viper either. He remembered how she walked inside the Gonsalves Villa on the day their boss was discharged from the hospital. She was so cunning that she arrived just a few minutes before their boss's car was estimated to arrive. She blackmailed
Hera is in the university library. She has to complete an assignment which she forgot about. With everything that is going on in her life, she couldn't seems to concentrate on any thing.An open book is sitting in front of her, but her mind is not on the work she is supposed to submit the next day. Her mind kept wandering to Matteo. Her emotions are all over the place. He confessed that he is feeling good when she is with him. But the worry about his health kept eating at her. She is not willing to risk his life, but at the same time she cannot refuse to stay with him either. Both the options will trouble him. 'Please dear God, keep my Matt safe' she begged the almighty to protect the man she loves more than herself.It's six in the evening and only a handful of students are sitting here and there in the vast library. It's quiet as everyone are doing their thing. Olivia had some work, so she left early. Carlos and Kyle have their football practice. So she is sitting alone. As she co
In the Gonsalves Villa, Matteo is watching while Hera is working on her assignment. For the past one hour he has his eyes trained on her. He couldn't take his eyes off her no matter how much he tried. Every small move she is making is so beautiful and enchanting, that she has him transfixed. The way she is noting down important points, how eligant her fingers are moving on the key board, the curve of her neck, everything about her is beautiful. There is a feeling in his heart that is telling him that he knows her intimately. But his mind is refusing to co-operate when he is trying to remember who she is. He noticed how comfortable she is in his house as if she has been living there for a while. His chef beamed at her and all the maids and guard are greeting her like they do it all the time. She knows where everything is in this house. The familiarity with which his staff are being around is confusing him. This is not how they used to behave around Sussane. She was a stranger. 'Wh
"Darling, please relax" Thomas tried to pacify her, but she is not in the mood to listen to him.He likes her so much that he is willing to do anything for her. He cannot say no to her, and she is taking full advantage of his weakness.Sussane glared at him."You are so useless, Thomas. You cannot give me the right information when I need it. You know that Hera is back into Matteo's life after its too late for me to stop it. Now you want me to relax? Do you how much i want Matteo? Do you how many sacrifices i have done for him. I did everything i can to make him mine. But you, i cannot even depend on you to pass on information that I need" she yelled at him.Her confession shocked Thomas."What? You are using me to get together with my boss? You don't love me?" he asked with shock.Sussane hissed when she realised her mistake. She always made him believe that she is in love with him. She made him think that if they use Matteo, they can grow rich. But now, she confessed everything."Da
"I cannot tell you anything. I think I should leave this city. Atleast then you can be happy. If i am away from sight, i will be away from your mind" she said feeling sad and cried.Matteo is feeling restless. The thought of her leaving is an unbearable pain he doesn't understand where it is coming from. But it is hurting more than any physical wound. "Don't you dare leave me Hera Wilson. If you don't want to tell me, fine. I have my ways of finding the truth" he said with a hint of anger.She looked at him sadly. He turned away from her and stood up to his full height. He picked up a shirt from his wardrobe before leaving his room in anger.Hera wanted to stop him. But she knows that he is not in a mood to listen to her.On the other hand, Sussane loaded an injection with some medicine. Being a nurse, she knows which medicine to use for what purpose. This particular medicine will paralyse a person for weeks if not months. His nervous system would stop functioning and he will be push
"Boss, what a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe this visit from you?" the cunning doctor asks sweetly. Matteo narrowed his gaze on the doctor. 'Why is he being Extra nice? This is so unlike him. People tend to bend backwards to accommodate others only when they have something to hide. What is he hiding?' he thought to himself. "I want to know everything from the moment i was admitted in your hospital. How did I lose my memories? How will I gain them back?" Matteo is not someone who likes to beat around the bush. So he came directly to the point. The doctor became pale, which Matteo noticed. 'So he knows something ' Matteo understood. The doctor on the other hand is now sweating and shivering with fear. He knows that there will come a day when his boss would find out what he did. But he never thought that day will come so soon. 'Is Boss testing me? Or did he find out that I gave him that serum for temporary memory loss?' he thought with fear. He gave a forced smile and gul
One year later...Matteo and Hera are blessed with a baby boy. Lizzy is happy thinking that her husband Emanuel is reborn. She is pampering the little boy so much. Unlike what Hera thought, Lizzy is taking full care of the little munchkin. Hera is continuing her classes. Lizzy came as a blessing to Hera. Matteo took Hera to the island. She loved the place so much. "Wow, this place is beautiful" she whispered with awe.Matteo is watching her with a soft smile. This is the house they grew up in. He shares a lot of memories with Kyle in here. He saw his mother locking herself inside her room for weeks. That was a dark phase. She stopped doing that when she realized that she is making everyone sad. Matteo used to feel lonely until Kyle came. After that, they became close."Ya, it is" he agreed.This house sits on one of the so many beaches on this island. Marco still lives here, but Lizzy shifted back to the house where she used to live with her husband. But after Matteo's son is born,
Hera is standing in front of the mirror, looking at how gorgeous she is. Her dress has a sweetheart neckline that hugs her frame to her hips before flaring down her hips and touching the floor. The fabric is Organza. The front of the dress has expensive crystals embedded in it, which are shining whenever she is moving. The dress has full sleeves, finishing the outfit with a sheer organza veil. Her hair is pulled up into a bun which is adorned with stones and a white rose on one side. She is holding a white rose bouquet. She is looking like an angel who came down from heaven. She is happy that she is going to marry Matteo today. But there is a small dissatisfaction in her heart. She is going to walk down the aisle alone. The decor is grand, Mia, Olivia, and Chloe along with their daughters are her bridesmaids. They are wearing sky-blue matching fishtail dresses that are hugging their frames. Their little girls look super cute in this dress.Just then Mia, Chloe, and Olivia walked insi
"Congratulations, she is pregnant, " the good doctor who examined Hera told Matteo who is looking at Hera worriedly.Matteo froze with surprise. Out of all the things his mind was making up, this definitely didn't cross his mind. Nova escorted the doctor out, leaving the expecting parents alone. Here is shocked. She is too young to become a mother. She has ambitions and plans for her career. She never expected to marry anyone at such a young age. But she is eager to marry Matteo. She knows that he would always support her in everything she does. But a baby in the picture will complicate everything."Matt? Say something?" she asked him, unable to decide anything about this new unexpected turn in their life.When Matteo heard her voice, he snapped out of his head and looked at her with mixed emotions. He was not expecting to become a father so soon, but still, he is really happy to hear this news. But when he noticed the panic in her eyes, he understood that she was scared. He sat bes
The next morning In the Gonsalves villa, Lizzy is showing Hera some dates for their wedding. "I think this date would be perfect. Within one and a half months, you will finish your exams and you will have your semester break. You can have a good time without worrying about your classes. What do you think?" Lizzy asked Hera.Hera gave her a soft smile. If it is up to Hera, she wants to elope with Matteo and marry him in Vegas as soon as she can. But that will make Lizzy sad. She is very excited about their upcoming wedding. She is planning everything by herself, which Hera doesn't mind at all. As Hera doesn't have a family, she is relieved that Lizzy is helping with everything."I think it will be perfect" Hera replied softly.Lizzy clapped her hands excitedly with happiness. "Now that the date is set, we should think about the venue. I need to search for a good place" Lizzy said while simultaneously searching on her phone for a good place. But Hera already has a place in mind."Lizz
In the Gonsalves basement, the Rossi brothers are being surrounded by Matteo's men who are pointing their loaded guns at them. No one is speaking anything, but their aggressive stance is saying more than what their words are saying. None of them like the Rossi brothers. First Andre and Sergie tried to hurt Hera. So they have half a mind to fire their guns and hurt those brothers for what they did. Sergei is scared. He tried to kill Hera, which is a crime deemed to be a death sentence. Hera is the person whom Matteo loves more than himself. Sergei tried to kill that girl, so he is scared to face Matteo's wrath. He knows Matteo will not leave him without any punishment. He is scared to see what it is and how brutal it is going to be. He is not even sure if he is going to be alive or not. But Andre is not as scared as his brother. He is anxious for sure, but not scared for his life. If Matteo wanted to kill him, then he would have done it the moment he found out about what Sergie is p
"I saw your brother's body outside the Gonsalves villa" Those words are ringing loudly in Sergie's ears. He remembered how much he used to pamper Andre and how his brother used to live like a prince. But now, he came here for a woman and lost his life for the said woman. "Andre, you used to hate hot weather. Tue weather is hot here when compared to Russia. How can they just let your body stay outside their home like that? How can you do that to my brother, Matteo? Is this retribution for what I tried to do to your mate? You are dangling my brother's body in front of me like a carrot. If you think that you can make me weak by doing this, then you are wrong. I will come there, collect my brother's body and start a bloody blood bath. I am coming to Matteo Gonsalves. I am coming to take revenge. I don't care if I live or die. I want to avenge my brother's death" he said out loud with a lot of pain. Sergei is still under the Impression that Andre is dead. He hid guns under his shirt a
After taking Hera back to safety, now Matteo and his men are hunting for Sergie Rossi."Did you find him anywhere?" Neil asked one of his men. "No, none of us found him in or around the campus. He disappeared again" they shared.Neil is irritated. They have been searching for Sergie for hours now, but he is nowhere to be found. "Alright, keep looking for him. I will inform my boss about this" he said while simultaneously pulling his mobile out. In the Gonsalves villa, Hera, and Kyle are talking and laughing with Lizzy and Marco. "Dad, you should have seen his face when I lied to him that I am in love with Hera. He was half a second away from killing me" Kyle joked.Marco and Lizzy chuckled with mirth.As Marco raised Kyle along with Matteo as his own son, Kyle and Matteo call him as a dad. He raised them with love and affection. He treated them both equally. Never let them feel the loss of their own father.Kyle loves Matteo, just like how he would love his own brother. He is prot
In the safe house where Andre was kept,"What? Sergei is trying to kill Hera? For what? We saved his brother and in turn, he is trying to kill one of our own. This is unacceptable. I will bring Andre Rossi to the warehouse. Let's meet there" Nova said into the phone before disconnecting the call.Nova is shocked to hear the news from Neil. 'What the hell is wrong with this Sergie? Was Andre a trap to divide our attention from Sergie to his brother? Is Sergie the real threat?' he wondered."Andre" he called the younger Rossi louder than necessary and with a hint of anger.Andre, who was pacing in his room ran outside when he heard Nova's voice. Nova promised Andre that he would find out about his brother. So when Nova called him, he thought it was to tell him about his brother. His guess is not wrong. But he was not expecting Nova's anger."Nova? You found out about my brother?" Andre asked expectantly.Nova pulled out his gun and pointed it at Andre."You worthless ass*ole, are you t
"Hello Hera, let me properly introduce myself. This time, my true self. I am Kyle, Kyle Carter. Younger brother of Reed Carter. A friend of your beloved fiancee, Matteo Gonsalves" he said and extending his hand for a hand shake. Hera looked at his extended hand with shock. She knows who Reed Carter is. He is the most feared Mafia boss of NY. She heard about him from Matteo. Her fiance likes Reed Carter and his wife Mia Carter. She heard that Reed Carter is an orphan."I don't believe you. Reed Carter doesn't have any siblings. He is a single child. Who are you? Why are trying to fool us? Are you with Sergie?" Hera demanded firmly.Kyle pulled his hand back with a smirk."You are not as dumb as i thought you are. I don't have to lie to you Hera. I am a Carter by birth. Your finance knows that too. He also knows that i don't love you like i claimed. I came here to spy on you. That's the only reason why he left me alive even though I was running after you saying that i love you" he expl
