On the island, Nero is happy."I told you Reed will bring Mia back safely. But you refused to listen to me " Chloe teased Nero.Nero rolled his eyes at Chloe playfully."Ya, Ya, you are always right" he teased her.Chloe grinned proudly."How is my granddaughter doing?" Emma asked cheerfully as she entered inside Nero's home.Chloe smiled widely when she saw Emma."Mom" Chloe greeted happily and hugged Emma.Nero looked at how well his wife and mother gelled together. He is happy that they share a great bond."How are you dear? And is my lazy son?" Emma teased Nero, who groaned with exaggeration. "Mom, I am far from lazy" he defended himself.Emma and Chloe chuckled."Yes mom, he is not at all lazy" Chloe teased Nero along with Emma. "I agree, look at how active he is. He didn't even stand up to welcome his mother. Look at how hard he is trying to rest on that couch with his legs propped up on the center table" Emma pointed out, feigning pity.Nero looked at both the women and shook
In Russia, Victor successfully seized over the Russian Mafia and became the new boss. No one knows where Alessandro and Czar are. Most of them assumed that they must be dead. In a situation like this, when Victor is mercilessly killing everyone who is loyal to Alessandro and refuse to accept him as their boss. When the others saw this, they reluctantly accepted him as their Boss, as accepting him is much better than losing their life. The sudden changes in Russia became a hot topic in the underworld. Soon, this issue reached Reed, Nero, and even Luca."What? Alesso is missing?" Reed asked Matteo who shared that shocking news with his boss."Yes, Boss. This is what everyone is discussing about" he said, as the of feeling uneasiness settled in his gut.Reed is shocked, to say the least. This is the most shocking incident he heard in a while. 'Where is Alesso? How did he let Victor overpower him so easily? Is he alive? Or dead?' he wondered. Even though Alesso is troubling them so much
"So, what do say about helping Alesso?" Nero asked Reed from the other end. They are having a phone conversation about the recent major incident that shocked the entire mafia world. Reed leaned back in his chair. "I have already assigned my spies to find out where Alesso is. We should save his ass and rub it on his face for as long as he lives. I am sure he must have had a nice ass whopping from his dear cousin. He deserves that for acting like an idiot and hurting Mia" he muttered, but there is no heat in his words. After everything Alesso has put them through, they are still worried about him. Nero laughed from the other end. "Yes, that would teach him a lesson" he agreed. They both are silent for a while. "How do you think Mia would react? Wouldn't she be angry that we are trying to help Alesso? She is the one who suffered the most" Nero asked, feeling guilty. Reed smiled at that question. "Mia is sweet. I know she suffered, but she is not the kind who would wish him dea
In Russia, Victor is gathering allies against Reed. He wants some backup from other mob bosses during the council meeting. Even though no one will attend the meeting virtually, their votes are important before the panel voice out its final verdict."Mexicans were against Nero Vitiello and I heard they hate the Vitiellos in general. Regardless, the situation here is not the I expected it to be" Victor grumbled with dissatisfaction.The new Mexican mob boss who replaced the previous one is acting smart rather than allowing his anger and the past to rule his decisions. He knows the feud between the Vitiello clan and his relatives, but he understood that letting go of the past is the only way to live longer in the world they live in. Allies are important, most importantly the powerful ones."No sane person would intentionally go against Reed Carter. You better think carefully before angering him more than you already did" Fernando voiced out his opinion.Fernando is the new Mob boss of th
Matteo looked over their quotes for a new contract their company is bidding on. When he is satisfied that everything is good, he neatly placed the papers back in the folder and left the company to submit their bid. As this is the last day for them to place their bid, he worked a little later than usual. By the time he drove off toward downtown, it was almost 7 pm in the evening. They have to submit their bids by 12 that night. Matteo is humming to a tune on the radio when his mobile rings indicating an incoming call. He immediately answered the call when he noticed who is calling."Boss, I finished revising the bid. I will submit it in a few minutes" he shared, thinking that Reed called to know about the status of their new undertaking."Do you have a backup with you?" Reed asked, ignoring Matteo's update.Matteo frowned with confusion."Back up? No Boss, I thought it is not necessary" he replied hesitantly."Are you wearing the bulletproof west?" he inquired.Matteo is really confus
"Safe" Matteo texted Reed.Susanne's heart is pounding loudly in her ears. She is shocked by everything that has happened in that restaurant. She crushed over Tim and blindly trusted him. But he is not what she thought he is. She remembered how happy and excited she was when he came to pick her up. She dressed up in the best dress she owned and did her makeup keeping him on her mind. When he complimented her, she was elated. They picked a nice restaurant and enjoyed their meal with light conversation. Everything went well until he asked her to pay the bill as he forgot his wallet. She didn't mind. She paid the bill and walked out hand in hand.He began with simple touches here and there. She tried not to show her discomfort as they were standing on the street and his behavior was not appropriate. But when he pulled her closer and tried to kiss her, she gently reminded him that everyone is watching them.He smirked and pulled her into the nearby alley and began to kiss her roughly and
"Safe"Reed read the text from Matteo. He smiled inwardly. He did not expect anything less from Matteo. He is capable and not easy to kill. 'Victor is digging a hole for himself. He is going down soon. But first I need to find Alesso. I hope he is safe ' he thought."What happened?" Mia asked him. He peeked at her and threw his mobile aside."It's nothing that you should worry your pretty little head about" he assured her.He picked her up from Joe's ranch just a while ago. Joe and his family are really happy to see Mia again. Mia is happy to spend her time with them as well. Marcus already knows about his arrival, and he invited them for lunch tomorrow. Mia being Mia, she extended the invitation to Sabrina, who agreed reluctantly. "Forget about me, you tell me what you are trying to do?" he inquired her with a hint of a smile on his face.They are sitting on the cliff, quietly enjoying the warm and cozy night. He cooked lasagna for them, which is her favorite. They ate their dinn
"Have you finished the bikers?" Reed asked his underboss. "Yes, boss" Matte replied.Reed nodded with satisfaction."Good, now parcel their bodies back to their boss. Make sure to attach a note saying that his countdown began and his turn will come soon" he instructed.Matteo couldn't help but smirk at the badass move."Sure thing Boss" he replied with a hint of a smile.Reed found out that Matteo disappeared last night after the attack on his life and appeared the next morning wearing the same clothes from the previous day. He dug deeper and found out what his underboss was up to. Reed usually doesn't care about whom Matteo spends his nights with. But now the situation is different. "Whatever you have with Sussane is between you both. It should not affect her relationship with Mia. My wife likes her assistant and is very comfortable with her. Don't f*ck it up" he warned.Matteo's eyes became wide with shock."I...it was..." he stammered, but Reed cut him off mid-sentence."You bot
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
