Hera's sleep is disturbed. She is sleeping, but she couldn't relax. She is feeling restless. She saw Matteo standing on the terrace, right in front of a helipad. Then, out of nowhere a woman came and threw herself at Matteo who hugged her tightly. Then that woman took Matteo away. Hera is standing there all along and saw everything. She tried to stop Matteo. But he ignored her and left with that woman. Hera ran after them, but they just vanished. She woke up with a start. She turned to look beside her for Matteo. But the place beside her is empty. She became anxious. Already their relationship is on the rocks. Now this dream made her feel uneasy. She sat up with anxiety.'Looks like Matt is working' she thought.She decided to wash her face and freshen up a little. She was feeling off for the past week, and today more than ever. She is disturbed. As it is still early, she padded downstairs still wearing Matteo's shirt. But halfway down the stairs, she paused when she heard a woman
"Matt" Hera rushed towards Matteo, whose nose began to bleed suddenly. When Matteo noticed how much stressed Hera is after Sara's words, he couldn't take it. He closed his eyes and began to recall everything that happened in NY. When the pressure inside his head became too much, his eyes became red and watery, while his nose began to bleed. "Baby girl" he whispered almost inaudibly. When Sara took a step closer to approach the duo, Matteo gave her a cold look, which stopped her dead in her tracks. "Nova" Matteo called his underboss. Nova rushed inside. When he saw Matteo bleeding, he began to get worried. "Boss" he rushed to help Matteo. But the Chicago underboss shook his head. Instead he looked at Sara and gave a firm nod. Nova understood what his boss is telling him. Matteo pulled Hera out of there and in the general direction of their room. On the way he texted Alesso. 'A Rossi spy in my villa' the text read. Hera on the other hand is worried. They have been facing pro
In the Gonsalves villa, Hera is worried. 'Who was she? Why did she tried to do this? Looks like she knows alot about Matteo when he was in NY ' she thought. She is not new to all of this. She saw a lot more when she was with her father. Fredrick used to harass his victims right infront of her. He wanted to scare his daughter and wife and show them what he is capable of. That worked and Hera began to detest him. But now, facing with someone who is trying to cheat on them, she cannot help but feel angry on Sara for what she did. 'Matt was as conflicted down there as i was. But after his nose bleed, his attitude changed. Everything happened in seconds. What did I miss? How did he found out that Sara is an imposter'? She wondered. Just then, Matteo walked inside and looked at her with a blank face. Hera rushed towards him. "Did you find out who she is and where she came from?" She asked him anxiously. Matteo didn't reply. Instead, his mind is fixed on the day when Hera was running
"You donated your mother's heart to someone, right?" he asked her.Hera frowned with confusion. She is not understanding why Matteo is asking about that now. "How do you know about that?" She asked.She donated it in a hospital in NY. And that was before Matteo came into her life. 'He is a mafia man. He must have learned about it through his connections. He can find out anything if he wants' she thought.He smiled gently. He placed his palm over hers, which is coincidentally placed on his chest near his beating heart."Because, you are the donar, and i am the recipient" he shared the truth. Out of all the things she was expecting, this was not the one. She was running different scenarios in her mind as to what that truth he hid from her. But this came out as a surprise than a shock."What?" She gasped.Matteo remembered how he ended up in a hospital in the first place."In NY, i met Sussane and we started seeing eachother. ..." he shared everything that happened between him and Sus
"Where are we?" Hera asked Matt for the tenth time. He smiled with mirth. "Patience baby girl" he repeated again. Hera made a face and a pout appeared on her lips. He shook his head at her antiques. She knows that he loves her pout, so she is trying everything she can to make him talk. After Matteo learned about Andre and Fredrick, he decided to take Hera away from Chicago for a while. He doesn't want to take chances with her safety again. Just like how Sussane tried to hurt Hera, now this Rossi is here to Kidnap Hera. Once the Rossi's get their hands on anyone, then the woman will not survive even a day. So he decided to take some time away from work and take Hera on a holiday. She deserves to relax and be happy after everything she has gone through. So he brought her to his cabin which is nestled in the lap of greenary. The place he took her to has tall trees, wild flowers, so many wild harmless animals and the best part is, he himself built his cabin from scratch on a small
Hera is surprised to see her clothes neatly hanged in the closet. Matteo suggested to get changed as he wanted to take her to the waterfalls. As the sun is going down, it's not too hot. It's warm and sunny, a perfect time to swim. She picked up a printed two piece white swim suit. After she changed, she went in search of Matteo, who said that he will be waiting for her near the shore.On the other hand, Matteo is on the phone with Nova."No, Hera will be secured in the Villa. So only a fool will try to harm her there. But Hera will be a little vulnerable and everything will not be in our control in the campus. That's why Sussane tried to hurt Hera there and Andre tried to kidnap her near the library. So check the campus. Andre must have planned to do something by now. I am sure he must have realised about what happened to Sara by now. So he would have moved to plan 'B'. So i want you to station our men in the campus and search for Andre or for anything which you might feel suspicious
"No" he replied without even bothering to hear what help Fredrick need.Fredrick became even more pale than he already was. He was hoping that Sergie would agree to help him. If the elder Rossi refused to save Fredrick, then no one can save him from Matteo's wrath."Sergie, i know that i didn't leave a good impression. But trust me this time. If you help me, then i promise to bring Andre safely back to Russia. I swear" he said desperately.That caught Sergie's attention. He was worried about his impulsive younger brother. Even though he cannot go against Matteo directly, he still cannot leave his brother to his fate and die in a foreign country. He knows what kind of death Andre would get if he gets caught."Are you joking Fredrick? If yes, then i am going to kill you for doing that at this time on something which i am worried about" he snapped angrily.Fredrick flinched. But didn't back down. He is too desperate to bother about Sergie's anger. He is more scared about Matteo than the
Near the Cabin, Hera is leasurely sipping a fruit juice while relaxing in the Jaccusi. They had fun in the lake for an hour before Matteo had to go back to take an important call. But he didn't go far. He made it a point to stay with in the looking range of Hera. After Matteo left, Hera was in the water for an hour more. But when Matteo said that he has some work, she reluctantly moved out of water after he promised to bring her back the next morning. He arranged for her to relax in the warm water in the Jaccusi while over looking the water falls. He is yet to come and join her. He is working on something on his laptop. Hera is feeling so relaxed after a long time. Nothing is making her tensed or worried. She knows that Matteo would take care of everything now. On the other hand, Matteo closed his laptop after he is done with work. Earlier Nova called him to give updates about Andre. They are in the process of finding out about Fredrick as well. The ex mafia don has a limited life
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
