In the dorm's,"Now you can go" Olivia told Carlos, who insists on dropping her right infront of her dorm room everyday. He even picks her up every morning. At times she thinks if he ever sleeps.Carlos grinned wolfishly at her words."We can have fun if you allow me inside" he said and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.Initially Olivia used to feel irritated and angry on his behaviour. But now she understood that he is a harmless flirt, but a good guy by heart."No need" she said and waved her hand for him to go. She didn't stay there to see if he left or not. Because he will not leave untill she locks the door from inside.So she opened the door and is surprised to see her door unlocked.'I forgot to lock my door? This Alessandro is irritating me so much that now i am losing my mind' she thought to herself. She walked inside and closed the door after her and locked it before turning on the lights. But before her eyes could register the flash of the light bulb, she was hit by somet
Hera knocked on Olivia's door, but no one answered the door. "Don't tell me she is sleeping already" Carlos said with amusement. He doesn't know about the text Hera received from Olivia's phone. So he doesn't know why Hera wanted to see Olivia again even though they were together untill a few minutes ago. But Hera on the other hand is worried. The text she received is making her feel panicked.'Is she alright?' she thought with concern.When she raised her fist to knock again, the door opened a little on its own."She didn't lock her door? But i heard the lock click into place when I came to drop her earlier" Carlos said with a frown.Hera frowned."She knows i am coming. Looks like she unlocked the door for me" Hera told him.Carlos raised his eyebrows with amusement."Let's go then" he rubbed his hands with excitement. This is the first time he is entering Olivia's dorm room, and he knows that Alessandro is not going to like this. But Carlos likes to live on the rush of adrinaline
In the Gonsalves villa, Matteo is done dealing with Thomas and left him to die on his own. But he is feeling restless. Half an hour ago Nova texted him that they are coming home. But until now there is no sign of them. "What is taking them so long?" he muttered feeling as if something is really wrong.He pulled his mobile out and dialled Hera's number. In the dorm's, when Hera was making sure that Olivia's is safe, her mobile began to ring. When Sussane slapped her, she dropped her mobile on the floor. She turned to look at the caller ID. She wanted to cry when she saw Matteo's name. But before she could bend down to retrieve her phone, Sussane beat her to it.Sussane swiped the green button on Hera's mobile."Hera, where are you? Why didn't come back yet?" Matteo's worried from the other end.Sussane smiled with a very disturbing expression. She is happy to listen to Matteo's voice. "Hera?" Matteo called again when Sussane didn't reply.Sussane's happiness is short lived. The mome
If someone told Matteo that he will be racing around the city on a busy weekday at eight pm to save a girl about whom he doesn't remember anything, then he would have laughed at the crazy description. But now, when he is doing the exact same thing, he is more worried saving Hera than breaking traffic rules and his just miss accidents on the way. He cannot explain this feeling of emptiness just at the thought of something happening to Hera. It would have been good to know why and how he fell for a girl who is almost a decade younger than him. But by his experience with her in the past one week, he can guess why. Hera is beautiful, innocent, genuine and caring. He already fell for the second time in his life. But this time he not only love her, he is obsessed. He will burn everything and everyone down if something happens to her. His call with Sussane ended abruptly a few minutes ago. He is almost near the university. But these few minutes of tension, without knowing what is happening
Matteo all but ran up four floors of stairs to reach Olivia's dorm room. But just a second before he reached the room, a loud bang rang from inside. He increased his speed and skidded to a halt right infront of the open doorway. He took in the scene infront of him. He cannot see Hera's face, but he can see that she is lying under Sussane, who is not moving. He is frozen with shock. For a second he thought that Hera is no more, untill Neil pushed Sussane's body away and hugged Hera. Hera is bathed in blood. He doesn't know who's blood is that, but Hera is pale. Her eyes have a far away look in them. Everything is quiet, except his heartbeat. His heart is pounding with anxiety.He rushed inside and pulled Hera away from Neil, who is trying to soothe her. He is not liking another male touching her. "How the hell did this happen? You both were supposed to guard her. Then how the hell did she end up alone in here with Sussane?" Matteo demanded.Carlos went out of the room to manage the s
Hera is sitting inside the bathtub with a lost look in her eyes. She couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that she killed a person today. Even though Sussane deserves nothing less, but still, Hera never thought she would hold a gun and shoot someone.Her mind began to flood with her childhood memories. The same memories which later began to scare little Hera as nightmares. It's her mother who struggled to sooth her scared little daughter that she is safe.Fredrick never bothered to shield his daughter from the blood and glore of his life. He used to insist that his wife and daughter had to be present on occasional dinners where he used to entertain people from the mafia world. If something went wrong during those dinners, he used to kill his guests right infront of his young daughter. Hera always thought that she will become a better person than her father and she would never kill anyone. But today she intentionally killed a woman for the man she is love with and the worst fact is,
The elder Rossi is angry. He cannot believe that his younger brother Andre is so stupid that he will actually go to Chicago for Fredrick's daughter. He is not in a position to go to Matteo's turf in search of his brother, especially now when the reason behind why his brother went to Chicago is Hera. The moment Matteo realise that Andre is after Hera, then Andre's days will be numbered. It doesn't matter if Matteo remember his ex girlfriend or not. The Gonsalves man hates the Rossi's just like the Vitiello clan. As long as Andre stays in Chicago, he is under risk. "It's all because of you. If you are not such a loser, then all of this wouldn't have happened" the Sergie yelled at Fredrick, who is scared. Fredrick tried to force his daughter to come to Russia, but it didn't work."Mr Rossi, please give me some time. I am trying to talk my daughter into coming here. She will come for sure. When she comes here, your brother will come back as well" he begged the elder Rossi brother.Sergi
'Baby girl''Baby girl'Matteo woke up from his sleep with a start. That name kept ringing in his head on a loop. He found that name so familiar, as if he used to call someone with that name. He turned to look at Hera who is sleeping beside him. But frowned when the place beside him on the bed is empty. He looked at the clock which read 3 am."Where is she? She is supposed to be sleeping at this time" he wondered. She pushed the blanket aside and padded out of his room searching for her."Hera" he called her name. The villa is quiet and his voice echoed around the walls. But she didn't reply. He ran downstairs and began to search the entire house, but she is nowhere. When he was about to call Nova and alert the guards outside, he saw her sitting in the backyard in front of the pool. Her back is facing him. She is wearing one of his shirts which rode a little over her thighs. He sighed with relief that she is safe. He erased the distance between them with quick long strides."Hera?"
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
