In a huge open area near the outskirts of the town, the screams of encouragement, squeals, and the buzz of people talking can be heard for over half a mile around the area. The otherwise quiet place is now filled with youngsters, ranchers, enthusiastic participants, and curious onlookers. A makeshift fence is constructed in a circular shape, around which people are cheering for the man who is trying to tame the irritated Bull. Food stalls, small rides, photo booths, and antique stalls are all lined up in that area. "Reed, look at that photo booth. Let's go take some pictures together" Mia pulled Reed towards the small photo booth. There is a small booth inside which a photo kiosk will take pictures and the photos will be released instantly. Reed followed after Mia who is excited. He wouldn't have come here if not for her. She was really interested to come here and he couldn't disappoint her. As the daughter of the mafia don Luca Vitiello, she was always guarded by bodyguards. No m
Reed is watching his surroundings more than the game. He is feeling like someone is watching him. It began from the moment he came here. But so far he did not find anyone suspicious. He kept a vigilant watch around nonetheless. "Reed, look" Mia's voice distracted him. He turned his attention away from his surroundings to the woman beside him. "What?" he was not following their conversation. Mia, Matteo and Joe's daughter were talking about something, which he ignored. He is only attuned to Mia. Mia shook her head at the man beside her. She knows he didn't want to go with her. But the thought of staying away from him for more than an hour seemed like some kind of punishment. But she wanted to come here too, so she begged him to come with her. To her surprise, he agreed. "Look inside the ring. That Bull seems to be in a bad mood. He just pummeled that man and he barely escaped from being trampled to death" she explained while her gaze trained on another participant who is a little
Mia is more worried for Reed than for herself. She did not see who pushed her inside the ring. She doesn't know if it is intentional or a mistake. But whatever the case is, she became the reason why Reed is in trouble now. Seconds inside this ring seem like minutes. That Bull is closer now, and it will be at Reed in less than five seconds. "Reed I will never forgive myself if something happens to you, please go" she begged hurriedly with anxiety. Reed doesn't want her to see how much darkness is hidden inside him. Every ounce of sinisterness is bleeding from his eyes for everyone to see. It must be the reason why everyone has gone quiet. Even the animal must have seen that he is a predator from whom it should stay away because it stopped abruptly when it came closer to him. Slowly the bull took a few steps away from the couple while whimpering with fear. Reed turned towards Mia, whose eyes are now moist. He did not meet her gaze. He carried her away from the ring and that place
'You are priceless ''You will stay in my life and even you cannot change it ''I got used to you in my life 'Those words kept repeating in her mind again and again. The intensity and the possessiveness of his words should scare her. He is telling her and not asking her that she cannot go anywhere. He stole the power to take decisions away from her. She is an independent woman who is used to taking almost all of her decisions by herself. But now Reed came into her life and seeped under her pores and is deciding everything for her. She should be annoyed by his caveman tendencies. But strangely she is not. Everything she believes and everything she thinks changes when it comes to Reed. Even Alesso couldn't change her mind when she is dead set on something. But Reed, simply tells her whether she can or cannot do something, and she obeys like a good girl. This is confusing, her feelings, emotions, reactions and everything else are so confusing if Reed is in the picture. She still does
Chloe is now grinning from ear to ear. She wanted to squeal and jump up and down with happiness. She is doing a silent dance, mindful not to wake the little one. Nero just walks inside the room and gives her a funny look. When he was about to open his mouth to ask her what was the matter, Chloe shakes her head and pointed towards the phone. He nodded with understanding. "You like him?" Chloe asked, just to make Mia open up more about her feelings towards Reed. Mia smiled softly. Her gaze landed on the ring that is proudly sitting on her ring finger. "I do, a lot. Do you think I am growing crazy? I should not get attached to anyone this fast and this deep. But with Reed, he is like this strong magnet who is pulling me towards him. And I am helplessly running towards him. His confidence and his arrogance used to irritate me, but now I feel those qualities so appealing. I am confused, Chloe" she expressed her dilemma. Chloe couldn't contain her happiness. 'Oh my god, Reed successfu
It's dark and cold. The once lively atmosphere is now isolated and not a soul is to be found anywhere. All the stalls are now closed and the fence inside which the bullfight took place is now filled with the pathetic cries of Samuel Bowman. The bull is still inside the ring and now he has the company of Samuel Bowman. Samuel is trying to escape from the bull, who is hell-bent on hurting him. Bull is free to roam inside the ring, but Samuel has cords tied around his ankles. One end of the cords is tied to Samuel's legs, while the other end is attached to heavy metal rods which weigh twenty pounds each. Samuels's ankles are bleeding and he is out of breath. He is trying to protect himself but is failing pathetically."Please, Please let me go" Samuel begged pitifully. But Reed's anger is a burning furnace when it comes to Samuel Bowman."Is it not fun, uncle? Are you not enjoying this?" Reed taunted darkly.Samuel cried out when the bull stepped on his thigh."Ahh....please let me go"
"What? Now he became more important to you than me? You hurt my sensitive feelings" he complained, intentionally prolonging their conversation.Reed rubbed his temples tiredly."Nero," he gritted with suppressed anger.Nero is least affected by his anger because he is used to it."What crawled up your ass now? Who dared to offend you?" he joked.Reed sighed. He knows Nero is intentionally tormented him. "An asshole thought he can get away by hurting my princess. Just coming back from showing him what would happen if they touch her" he told the truth.All the fun and mirth were wiped away from Nero."What? Someone tried to hurt Mia? I am sure she is unscathed looking at how you are not on a killing spree" he murmured thoughtfully.Reed entered inside the ranch and drove towards his cottage."She is fine. Tell me about Alesso. Where was he and why did he show up now?" he asked, coming back to the main topic.Nero looked at the angry waves that are crashing to the shore."He was kidnapp
Mia is tossing and turning in vain. She got used to sleeping beside him, and at times it makes her frustrated. She cannot relax until she feels his presence beside her. She smiled when she heard his truck approaching near their cottage. After ten minutes he walked inside their cabin. She registered the small sounds of his four steps, the keys being placed on the coffee table, and then finally he walked inside the bedroom. He paused near the threshold of the room and looked at her still form on the bed, lying under the blankets."Not sleeping yet?" he asked casually, not at all fooled by her pretense of sleeping.Mia groaned and slid the blankets off her face and eyed him. He walked inside the room and began to unbutton his shirt. She caught glimpses of his toned torso, which made her want to run her fingers over the ridges and groves of his muscular body.He is amused when he saw her getting distracted. Her gaze is trained on his abs. He cleared his throat snapping her eyes back to h
One year later ... "Mia, why does the baby keeps crying?" Reed called out for his wife. He is panicked and he is not understanding how to console the hysterical little munchkin. Mia walked out of the kitchen and looked at the father-daughter duo. Their daughter is three months old. Reed was by her side throughout her pregnancy. He was more worried about her during her labor than she was. After their daughter is born, he is adamant to take care of her all on his own. But sadly he tends to panic if she starts crying. "Aww. Looks like our baby is hungry" she cooed and gently took the baby from Reed. She sat comfortably on the couch and began feeding her. Just then, the doorbell rings. "I will attend the door" Reed volunteered. When he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law along with Chloe and their baby. "Hello Reed" Emma greeted him with a warm motherly smile. "Hello Mom" he leaned in and kissed her cheeks. In this one year, he began to like Emma very much. She treats him ju
Luca's mansion on the Island is buzzing with festivities. Everyone is busy with something or another thing. As the wedding day is almost upon them, the beach behind the mansion is being decorated like a new bride. The wedding decor that Emma and the others liked is being raised at a faster pace on the water near the beach. In the meanwhile, on the day before the wedding, the entire family and friends are laughing and spent a gala time during the rehearsal dinner. Everyone is happy. On the day of the wedding, Mia got ready in the wedding dress Reed specifically selected for her. "You look so beautiful, baby girl" Luca kissed her head with love. Emma wiped away her happy tears. "Now you both are ruining my makeup. Let's go, Reed is waiting for us on the Altar" Emma said with motherly love. She wiped her tears and subtly adjusted her makeup. "You don't need makeup. You always look beautiful" Luca praised his wife. Mia giggled when her mother blushed. "Looks like you both should
"No, how about this one," Chloe said pointing at one of the wedding dresses in the designer store.But Mia shook her head. She did not find anything to her liking. They have been sitting in the store for over an hour now. The store designer is showing dress after dress, but Mia did not like anything. Each dress is unique and stylish, but Mia did not find the one she feels perfect. "I feel like I might not find the perfect dress," Mia told her mom feeling sad.Emma smiled at her daughter's concern."Don't worry dear. There are many stores out there and so many other designers. If you have something in mind, we can ask the designer to make it for you" she assured."But mom, we only have one week. How can it be possible to make a dress so fast?" she shared her concern.But before Emma could reply, Reed, Alesso, and Nero strolled inside the store laughing and Joking. When Mia saw the three of them together, she became really happy. She was worried that their friendship might be strained
In Texas, After Roland flees, Sabrina is feeling confused. She doesn't know how to feel about her situation. She married the man she is in love with, but at the same time, her marriage strained her relationship with her parents. She would have preferred to stay with her parents rather than marry Marcus and make them feel like she betrayed their trust. "Here, eat this" Blade brought some food for her to eat. She looked at him blankly and didn't make any move to accept the food. He sighed heavily and placed the plate in front of her. "I don't understand women. You love my boss. Now you married him. But still, why the hell are you upset?" he asked, really confused and curious to find out what she is thinking. Sabrina pushed the plate away. "I love him, but I never wanted to go against my parents and marry him. His father insulted my parents in the worst way possible. And me? I married Marcus and lost their trust. Marcus only thought about himself. If he would have thought about me
In NY, the screams of pain echoed around the walls of the torture chamber. Reed, Nero, and Alesso took turns torturing Victor. The biker has touched their family, which made this personal. "Please, let me go" Victor begged for the hundredth time. But his plea is ignored. He is not innocent and he doesn't deserve mercy. He is bloody all over. Now he lacks all of his fingers and he has been cut open in various parts of his body."Kill me" Victor is now begging for death. He is in so much pain, that he passed out several times. But Reed made Nash inject Adrenaline injections into Victor, which forced him to stay awake."Killing you means showing mercy. If the roles are reversed, you wouldn't have shown us any mercy. You wanted to kill us all. Your death would teach everyone out there who wanted to go against us, that they shouldn't even dream about it" Alesso sneered and slashed Victor's forearm, effectively cutting a nerve.Blood gushed out of his wound, making Victor even paler. "Ahh
On the Island "Mia, I think this decor will suit you both" Emma pointed at a wedding decor from the brochure the wedding planner brought for them. Mia peeked into the brochure and their eyes sparkled with excitement. The decor her mother is showing has an altar made with upside-down flower baskets with a ceiling made of red roses, tulips, and white lotus flowers. There is a pathway in the middle which is set for the bride to walk down towards the altar, on either side of which are seating arrangements made for the guests. What is more beautiful is this, it is all made of water."Wow mom, it's so beautiful" Mia gushed. Chloe looked at the decor when she noticed how much Mia is impressed."Oh dear, this is perfect. He is like the unpredictable waves in the ocean and you are the peaceful and calm floating altar on the top. It describes you both perfectly" she said, obviously impressed by her mother-in-law's choice."Mom, you are the best" Mia hugged her mother lovingly."Looks like my w
In Texas, Marcus is in a bad mood. He is fuming with anger. His fight with Sabrina just hours after their marriage made him feel irritated and frustrated about the mess his father started. "Blade" he called for his underboss loudly. Blade rushed inside his boss's office with a hint of fear. Marcus's bad mood is like a ticking time bomb. Blade became a scapegoat more times than he would like to. "Boss, you called me?" he asked hesitantly. Marcus rubbed his temples tiredly. It was almost 12.30 in the night and Sabrina refused to come out of that room and eat anything. On top of that, her words from earlier are stinging his heart like sharp barbs. 'I never wanted to marry you ' He doesn't know if she spoke them out of anger or if she never wanted to marry him. If the second case is true, then her declaration of love for a few days doesn't make any sense. But now it's too late to mull over the what-ifs. All he could do is win her over. He decided to start that by punishing his fathe
In NY, Victor is trying to escape from the hospital before anyone could find out that he is gone. He easily reached the ground floor undetected. But he had this nagging feeling that something is wrong. Everything is too easy. He easily came this far without being stopped by anyone. What made him suspicious is that the corridors, stairs cases, and elevators are all empty. It is the middle of the night, but he should have stumbled upon someone in this huge multistorey hospital. When he reached the ground floor and began searching for the fire exit to escape, he found something black and familiar lying on the floor. "A gun? Here? Did someone lose it?" he wondered with a frown. Nonetheless, he picked up the gun and checked if it is loaded or not. "Am I truly lucky or is this something I should worry about?" he murmured to himself. But he needs this gun to protect himself. So he hid that gun under his hospital gown. He proceeded farther but stopped short when he heard someone approa
In NY, Victor gained back his conscience. As his senses began to take in his surroundings, he remembered where he was and what happened the last time he tried to escape. He sat up with a start and winced when his bruised body protested. 'No, i cannot stay here any longer. I need to escape before one of these nurses comes and finds out that i am awake ' he thought as fear began to creep down his spine and make him jittery and desperate. Slowly Victor pulled all the pipes and wires that are attached to his body. It took him a couple of seconds to get a hold of himself after his feet touched the cold hospital floor and his legs bore the weight of his body. Slowly he crept outside his room, after making sure that no one is around. But what he doesn't know is that everything is planned and they are allowing him to escape so that he can be killed soon. The nurse who sedated him and who is also working for Reed dialed Nash's number. "It's done. He is coming out from the back door now
