Matteo doesn't want to lie to Hera. He never wanted to. But he doesn't want to lose her either. One thing is clear here. The truth cannot be hidden forever. Especially not to the people we love. Hera is trusting him so much that he doesn't want to keep her in the dark anymore. He knows she loves him and he has shown how much he loves her as well. He wished for some more time, but this is unavoidable. "I love you with every fiber of my being, baby girl. Remember this when you take any actions after this" he cautioned her. Deep down, Hera knows that this day is going to be marked as the day that their lives are going to change forever. She just wish that these changes are for the good and not for the bad. "I am a mafia man, a Boss to be precise" he confessed. No amount of pep talk prepared Hera for this. She felt like the ground under her feet shook violently and she stumbled a little. When he tried to hold her, she moved out of his reach. Her childhood with Fredrick began to flash
In a private hospital in Chicago, Matteo woke up after one week in a hospital. He blinked his eyes repeatedly to clear his blurry eyes. "Ahh..." he groaned as he registered pain. Hera who refused to leave his side for the past one week sighed with relief when Matteo gained his conscience. "Matt, how are you feeling? Here, sip some water" she offered him water. But he refused to accept the water given by her. "Who are you? Where am I?" he sat up and pupped the needles and wires from his arms. Hera is shocked by his words. She gave him a shaky smile. "Matt, you are jocking, right?" She asked with anxiety. Matt gave her a once over. He couldn't recall who she is. A section of his mind feel blank. But he didn't mind it as long as his work is not disturbed. All he remembers is removing Fredrick as the boss for working behind his back. But he didn't remember all the full details of his conversation with Fredrick. There are gaps that he is unable to recall. "Listen, you look young
In the restaurant when Hera is working, there is a dress code to be followed by the waitresses. It's a tight white shirt and a short skirt that only reaches till upper thighs. A white apron is tied around the waist.Her immediate boss, who is the floor manager of the restaurant is a womanizer. He keeps touching the female staff inappropriately whenever he gets a chance. Hera always evades his touch and try not to be alone in the changing rooms."Hera, today our manager assigned you to take care of the private cabin number 2" the head waitress instructed Hera.Hera nodded mutely and left in the direction of the cabin to take their order. On the other hand, Matteo is sitting in a private cabin in a restaurant. He is talking bussiness with a few people."Mr Gonsalves, your girlfriend is really beautiful" one of them commented. His gaze is fixed on Sussane's clevage.Sussane smiled coyly.But Matteo is irritated. He doesn't like the perfume she wears, or her dressing style. He never felt
"Do we know eachother" he asked, while his gaze still lingering on the birthmark. Hera froze. Hope blossomed in her heart. She wanted to say 'Yes' but stopped herself from doing that.'Dont try to remind him anything ' she remembered the doctor's words. She bit her tongue and swollowed her words. Matteo touched the mole, which made her gasp. Her eyes watered again. She missed his touch so much. She leaned closer, unintentionally. Matteo picked up the napkins and began to clean her gently. After he is done, he removed his jacket and wrapped around her. He leaned closer, and took a deep breath. Her scent which is so familiar, at the same time foreign. It hit his senses hard. "I know you" he whispered.Hera began to get tensed.'He is trying to remember me. It's not good for him' she began to get worried."I saw you in the hospital that day. It was you isn't it?" he asked her.She sighed with relief and gave him a jerky nod."I have to go" she wanted to stay with him, but that will o
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
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
