"You will regret this. You know what i am capable of" Fredrick threatened Neil.Neil knows what Fredrick is capable of. The ex boss is cruel, selfish and cunning. He used to kill his men for silly things. He couldn't earn the loyalty of his men when he was their boss. Neil and Nova used to work for Fredrick as well. But Fredrick always used to target Nova and used to make his life miserable. As Nova is the son of another woman, before Fredrick's sister married his father, Fredrick always used to hate Nova. No matter how many times Nova provided his worth, that was never enough. Fredrick always used to make him work harder than necessary and never used to give the credit he deserved. But on the other hand, Fredrick used to love and adore his Nephews. While they are given a luxurious life, Nova used to get completely opposite treatment.His partiality does not just end with Nova. Fredrick was not happy that his wife gave him a daughter instead of a son. So he never treated Hera well. Ne
'Why is Neil calling at this hour?' Matteo wondered.Hera noticed that Matteo looked distracted, so she peeked at the screen. When she saw who the caller is, she decided to leave and give Matteo some privacy to talk with Neil. She gathered from the bits and pieces of conversation she stumbled upon that Fredrick is with Neil. She can understand that Matteo might not want her to hear what he is planning for Fredrick. He doesn't know that she doesn't care about that man who is known as her father. But still, she decided to leave."You take that call. I will go and change for bed" she said softly before standing up from the rock. Matteo frowned. He swore that he will not hide anything from her. And whatever Neil wanted to talk would be about Fredrick. He feel like she has a right to know about her father, if not about the others whom he deals with on a regular basis. "Wait" he stopped her.Hera looked at him with surprise. She never wanted to interfere with his work. Fredrick never like
In the out skirts of Chicago, Adric parked the car near a run down motel, that looks old. Only trucks are parked outside the motel. "Why are we stopping here?" Andre asked with a suspicious frown. He looked around the motel, which is surrounded by nothing but woods. It's almost empty, and too quiet. Apart from the occasional car's whizzing past them, no one is seen outside. This is not a highway, but a sub road that leads to a another road about which Andre has no clue about.Adric rolled his eyes with annoyance."We are close to the safe house where Hera is hiding. I thought we could use the rest room and eat something before venturing there by foot. You know we need our strength" he lied.Andre is looking around with a deep frown marring his features.'Matteo Gonsalves is hiding his precious Hera here? This place doesn't look safe, even for men' he wondered with a frown.When Andre didn't made any move to get out of the vehicle, Adric became tensed. 'I have come too far in my plan
Outside Chicago, Adric is loading a needle with poison which he was carrying. He is planning to guide Andre into the woods and kill him there. No one would know who killed Andre or even if they know, they wouldn't care. After killing Andre, Adric would play the victim card and make Sergie believe that Matteo and his men killed Andre. After making sure that he secured his needle and his gun is loaded, he walked outside the bathroom, only to be stopped by his ringing mobile. He pulled out his phone and looked at the caller id. He frowned to see Sergie's name flashing on the screen.'Why is he calling me now? I told him that i would send him my location. Then why is he calling me now? Of Andre sees me talking with his brother, my plan would be ruined' he thought with annoyance. "Mr. Rossi" he answered the call with Fake respect.Sergie is worried about his brother, especially after the call from Andre. So he decided to instruct Adric to take his brother to a five star hotel where it wo
"Even if we take Hera now, Matteo would find her soon enough. Then what? I don't want to run for my life as long as i live" Andre said with clarity. Adric was not expecting this from Andre at such a crucial time. He was planning to kill the younger Rossi and start a war between the Rossi's and Matteo Gonsalves. But Andre changing his mind in the last minute was the last thing he expected to happen. "Are you nuts? After doing all this and planning so much, you are now telling me that you changed your mind? Do i look like an idiot to you?" Andre yelled angrily.Andre is noticing how Adric's attitude took a turn suddenly. Intially he used to be so polite and is ready to bend backwards to accommodate Andre's request. But now, he is angry and rude to the point where it is angering Andre in return."Mind your words Adric. I am not your slave or your worker. Tone down your voice and words. What do you think of yourself? Do you want to get killed? If i tell my brother about your behaviour,
"Your time is up. Good bye Andre Rossi " Adric said just before a loud noise of the gun fire echoed around the woods, followed by the painful cries of the man who was shot.In Chicago, Matteo saw the text Nova sent him. It's the series of confessions Andre Rossi made infront of Adric. "Intresting, looks like he might be useful after all. As long as he doesn't think about touching my Hera and forget that she exists, then i don't mind him being alive" Matteo thought to himself.'Adric is about to shoot Andre' Nova sent another text.'Save him. Kill your step brother ' Matteo replied without any hesitation.Matteo pocketed the satellite phone which he was using to chat with Nova. He looked outside the window of his moving car. The lights are a blurr at this speed. He is not looking at anything. His mind is occupied with the thoughts of Hera. A smile stretched on his lips when he remembered how she pouted when he told her that he has some work to do. She doesn't want him to go. She even
In Russia, Sergie is crying. He tried calling Adric several times, but the other man's phone is still not reachable. He is on his way to Chicago. In the mean while, he told a few of his men who are near Chicago to go and check the location which his brother sent when Andre spoke with him. So far none of his men found any thing. They found the car which Adric and Andre drove in. But there is no sign of both of them. One of the waitress told them that she saw Andre before another man came and dragged him away. When he heard that news, Sergie became angry. He remembered how scared and worried Andre was. He remembered how Adric told him that Matteo's men found their location. It was ten hours ago. Still there is no update from either Andre or Adric. That would means only one thing.'He killed them' he thought, as his heart began to bleed with pain. Andre is the only family that Sergie has. He remembered how he raised Andre and how much he love his brother. Now, he is all alone, because
In Chicago, "Hera, i though you must have forgotten all about your best friend. You didn't tell me that you are going on a vacation and you disappeared suddenly. I was bored out of my mind with these two idiots constantly pestering me" Olivia complained.Hera giggled when Carlos made a face. "You should be grateful that i ignored so many girls so that i can keep you company. I should i ignored you instead" he muttered with a dissappointed look.Olivia rolled her eyes at him. "I would have been happy if you would have done that" she replied without missing a beat, much to his annoyance."Hera, something is really wrong with this girl. How can anyone resist a face and a body like this? She must be really into women" he complained funnily.Olivia gasped with shock while Hera laughed at his joke.Olivia slapped him behind his head angrily."If i am not interested in you, then it's not my fault. It is yours. I have seen more interesting and handsome men than you" she muttered.That made
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
