Victor thrashed and broke everything his hands could reach. He received Six dead bodies with a warning attached to them. "Why? Why are you all so useless? Why are his men so sharp and well-trained? I tried countless times to sabotage Reed Carter and even kill him and his men. But no, nothing is working in my favor. It's as if he has a magic wand and he escapes every single time" he yelled angrily. Alesso's men and the bikers from his group are all standing a dozen feet away from the chaos Victor created. Sharp glass pieces, broken vases, destroyed show pieces, everything is lying on the floor in front of them. The men whom they sent to kill Matteo, the underboss of the NY outfit escaped and killed them instead. The bikers are all angry about what happened, but most of Alesso's men are secretly happy. They are even hoping that Reed Carter would come and kill Victor. But they know it's not going to happen, because Alesso initiated a feud with his long-term best friends. "We need
"Breaking news, there is speculation going around the famous billionaire and the CEO of the Carter Constructions, Reed Carter. Some people posted on the internet about his connections with the Mafia world. Several videos are going viral, where Reed Carter is being spotted with a famous pediatrician and the daughter of Luca Vitiello, who was once said to have ruled the underworld. It is yet to see if there is any truth behind these claims" a news reporter on Sunday morning announced on a famous news channel.The screen is split into two parts where one side is reserved for the newsreader and on the other side videos of Reed and Mia is being telecasted. In one of the videos where Reed is seen Carrying Mia out of the deli when she fainted is being telecast and in another, Reed is leading Mia out of the hospital where she works is shown. Several pictures where they are both clicked together are shown on the screen, to add fuel to the content being announced by the news reporter.Matteo, w
The premises of Carter Constructions is being filled with news reporters, employees, shareholders, and cops. Reed gritted his teeth with suppressed anger. He is looking at everything from his tinted car window. This is the second time Carter's constructions became the main topic in the headlines of every newspaper and news channel for the wrong reasons. His mind went back to the time when his parents were insulted right in front of the company by everyone. They were led by the Cops while every channel eagerly shot the footage and clicked pictures of how they were humiliated. This day is hauntingly similar to that day that happened more than one and a half decades ago. "Reed" he relaxed when he heard Mia's voice. She softly placed her palm over his fisted one. He doesn't want her to see this, but she refused to leave him alone when he is hurting inside. He looked at her, letting her see the anger and the anguish he is going through. She is the only person who will never judge him f
In the Company banquet hall, Reed is standing near the podium holding a mike. His gaze is sweeping the hall with a blank look. He saw so many faces who have been working for the company from when his father was still alive. Now, looking at them again in one place, he began to feel bitter."I got a message from my HR team that more than half of you have submitted your resignations. May i know why?" he asked evenly. He can hire new employees or even outsource the projects to other small companies. But he doesn't want this company to crumble. This is his father's dream, his hard work.No one opened their mouths to give any explanation. Everyone is quiet. Reed is not a very talkative person. But he is a good boss who takes care of his employees when in need."So i take your silence as your acceptance of the legal terms you are all bound to when you joined this company. If i go the legal way, you have to pay me a quarter million dollars each for quitting without prior notice" he said evenl
"You should stay away from that Vitiello woman. If not for her, you wouldn't have to face this situation today. Our company's share value will go down if this issue is not settled soon. She is the only solid proof that is proving your involvement with the Mafia" the shareholders demanded. Reed glared at them all with anger. From the time he took the reins as the CEO of Carter's constructions, they never suffered any losses. But still, they dare to complain. "You need profits. No matter how they come, you don't care as long as the numbers in your bank accounts increase. Then why are you creating a ruckus in front of my company" Reed snapped at his shareholders. The major stakeholders who hold around forty percent of the stakes are all shocked by his words. "Mr. Carter, you cannot speak to us that way" they protested. Reed slammed his palms on the table, which made everyone jump with fright. A crack appeared on the thick glass from the impact. They are sitting in a confertwenty-fi
Alesso's heart began to pound loudly when he realized who the man is. He is wearing typical bikers gear and is standing to Victor's right side. Alesso knows who he is. He saw him one too many times in NY with Reed. He is one of Reed's trusted spies. Alesso quickly averted his gaze from the man, so that no one would suspect him. 'What is he doing here? Did Reed send him? But why? I troubled him and trash-talked with him a lot before this. Then why did he still send his spies here? To kill me? No, Reed would never do that. He is not the type to attack anyone when they are down. Then why? To help me?' his heart swelled with affection before guilt slammed him."I exposed your dear friend's identity in front of everyone. Do you want to see how much he is suffering? Hate messages against him filled the internet. He is now the most hated person in the country. His father's company will be bankrupt soon" he announced happily and even clapped his hands. Alesso couldn't help but laugh at his
"We cannot work with a company whose CEO is said to have contacts with the Mafia world. We are in a business where the public would see the goodwill of the company from where they are buying a home from. We have a contract of two hundred crores with you and you promised to build five residential towers with forty-five floors in each tower. The name of your construction company will be associated with the project. Who will come and buy those apartments when the builder is a mafia man?" one of the company's CEO demands Reed. "This is not the kind of publicity we need" another one complained.Everyone agreed to that point.Reed faced them calmly. He knows what they are raising is a valid point. But he has finished more than fifty projects successfully in the years before and after he took over Carter constructions. But they did not receive any complaints from the companies who gave them the contract and not from the people who bought the space. His company is known for its quality. It's
Sabrina gasped with shock when she saw the news about Reed and Mia. She likes Mia a lot and has a soft corner for Reed. His pure love for Mia is what Sabrina likes about him. She doesn't want anything to happen to them.Joe stumbled upon the news when Sabrina turned on the tv. Jane is the only one in his family who doesn't know about who Reed is. He had a doubt and now it is confirmed."Sabrina, turn off the tv," he said loudly when he noticed Jane is coming out of the kitchen.As Sabrina doesn't want her parents to know about Reed and Mia, she immediately turned off the tv. Joe walked away. Jane walked past the living area, unaware of what is happening.Sabrina sighed with relief, thinking none of her parents saw the news.'Oh dear, I wonder how Mia is doing. Shall I call her? No, she must be busy with everything that is happening in there. I just wanted to know if they need any help. How to find out ?' she thought worriedly.She began to pace the length of the living room floor anxi
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
