Outside Joe's ranch. The motel worker led the other five inside the ranch undetected. They stopped a little bit close to the main house and began to wait. "Why are we waiting here? We know where the girl is. Why don't we go inside and get the girl?" one of them whispered. Even though it's the middle of the day, all the ranch employees will be busy working, leaving the women in the main house. The motel worker is waiting to make sure that Reed Carter is not close by. He didn't get a chance to check if Samuel could hit his mark or not. If he didn't and Reed Carter is in the ranch, then it would be impossible to kidnap Mia Vitiello. "We did not come here to kidnap just anyone. If it was that easy, then Boss wouldn't have sent you here to help me. Shut up and watch carefully. Tell me if you find anyone close by. We can make our move after making sure that no one is here" he said with annoyance. The others exchanged looks but kept quiet. They watched for half an hour, before confirmin
"My daughter is kidnapped," Joe revealed. Marcus felt like the ground beneath his feet is shaking violently. "What? Sabrina is kidnapped? When? Who did this? Did they demand money?" he inquired with anxiety and fear for the safety of the woman he still loves deeply but is forced to forget. Joe shared everything Jane told him. "Please, save her. I know it's me who asked you never to contact her again. But now i am begging you as a helpless father to save my daughter. Please, save her" Joe asked with worry and panic. Marcus is already rushing out of his office and his home and folded inside his car while still speaking with Joe. "Sir, please don't speak like that. Her safety is my responsibility. I will bring her back safely, i promise" Marcus promised. Joe sighed with relief. If there is anyone who can save Sabrina, then it's Marcus. "Thank you" Joe thanked from the bottom of his heart before disconnecting the call. On the other hand, Matteo found that the Motel worker is mis
Butterflies are beautiful insects with a very short lifespan. Even though they are named as insects, they are bright with different beautiful colors. Mia is surrounded by them. The cliff and the greenery around it are homes for some small harmless wild animals, birds, and insects. She was enjoying the warm sunny day by overlooking the water under the cliff when suddenly she was surrounded by butterflies who just came out of their cocoons."Wow," she whispered with awe. She smiled when a butterfly came and sat on her cheek.She became excited to see so many butterflies at once."Reed, come out and see this" she called him with excitement in her voice.Reed abandoned what he was doing earlier to accommodate the woman he loves. Now that she came to terms with her feelings, she is shyer and has gone softer towards him. When she saw that he is working, she went out of the cabin for a stroll. He was watching her every move though.Reed saw Mia surrounded by butterflies. To anyone, the sight
Marcus took up the Texas underboss position after his father stepped down from that position. He was expected to marry Stella Bowman, as her father was rich and he could be useful to them. Like he was expected to do, Marcus tried to get to know Stella better before marrying her. They went on planned dates, but Marcus increasingly became annoyed with her behavior. During one of those dates, he saw Sabrina. She was just the daughter of a ranch owner and a waitress at a restaurant. But that didn't stop him from pursuing her. He wooed her and showered her with gifts. To his surprise, she was not impressed by his expensive gifts and tried to stay as far away from him as possible. When Stella found out about his decreasing interest in her and increasing interest in Sabrina, she became angry. She began to target Stella and trouble her. But he stepped in and made it clear to Stella that he is not interested in her. Stella Bowman complained about the whole incident to her father, who in tu
In the well-lit spacious basement, six men are seen tied to chairs with their heads hanging down. "Wake them up," Blade said. One of Marcus's men poured ice-cold water on one of their heads, which made him sputter and cough. "Where is the girl?" Blade asked without giving him a chance to recover from the effects of the ice water. That man looked up at Blade with water running down his face from his hair. "Ha?" he asked with confusion, which irked Blade. He is angry that these men have fooled them and tried to kill their King, which in turn made them look like idiots in front of their King. He punched the man across his cheek, which made him groan with pain. "Ahh.." "Don't play dumb with me. You know what i am asking about. Girl, where is she?" he snapped with barely restrained anger. The Russian belatedly understood what the other man is asking him. His lower lip now has a split because of the punch. "Van" he mumbled with pain around his mouth. Blade frowned. He remembere
In Joe's ranch, Sabrina is sitting alone in her room. She remembered how she was kidnapped. It is scary and she might never forget the fear she experienced just a minute before she fainted. Even though that mind-numbing fear lasted only a minute, she couldn't forget how helpless she felt and her parents faces popped into her mind. She imagined how heartbroken they would be to find out that their daughter is gone. She is still scared and she came to know who saved her. 'Marcus Douglas ' A man who pursued her relentlessly for a few months before he disappeared completely. But there is something which Sabrina hid from everyone, including her parents. She had a crush on Marcus Douglas since the time he was a senior in their school. His brother Dave, Stella and Sabrina are from the same class. Marcus was three years their senior. Even though she had a crush on him, she never acted upon it. Because she knows that he will never notice the daughter of a small ranch owner. She was shocked
"Oh my God, I was kidding" she explained, which made Sabrina relaxed. Mia couldn't help but chuckle at Sabrina's expense."So, who is the lucky man?" Mia asked with excitement. Sabrina was always shy and only open up in front of the people whom she is comfortable with. Mia never saw the other woman particularly interested in the opposite gender. Now her reaction and the way her cheeks turned red is telling her that there is a man involved."No, there is no one" Sabrina lied defensively.Mia smirked."I might be a little dim when it came to my own love life, but I can see that you are interested in someone" she pointed out. Sabrina sighed her head to say it was not true."What do you mean by you were dim?" she tried to change the topic. Mia understood it, but still, she humored Sabrina. A soft smile lit up her face at the thought of Reed."I was in love with Reed for a while. But I didn't know that I love him. I am crazy for him. I didn't realize it until he asked me to give a name t
Reed came back to his cabin on the cliff from the base. He sent a car to pick up Mia from the ranch an hour ago. He got delayed in the middle when he stumbled upon Marcus who was full of apologies for his absence. If this situation had arisen a couple of months ago, he would have punished Marcus for giving his personal life more priority than his work, especially when their enemy is on the loose. But now he knows that even he would have done the same if their roles were reversed. A few people are more important than anything and everything, just like Mia is to him. So he left Marcus to his own devices after instructing him what he wanted from the man inside the basement. Marcus promised to deliver promising results by morning, which pleased Reed. 'You cannot hide in the dark for long ' he thought about his enemy who managed to dig for more information about him than the rest could. Reed nodded his head at the guards who are stationed outside the cabin. "Leave" he instructed them.
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
