"What is going on here?" just when everyone was feeling suffocated under the tyranny of Sylvia, a voice rang from the middle of the staircase. Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.Rose looked at the scene in front of her. A broken flower vase around Sylvia. Russell, Simone, and Lola are looking sad and a bit angry too. All the other maids and guards who are watching everything from afar are looking disturbed. So Rose gathered that something happened here.No one answered her. But Sylvia gave her a stink eye. "Here she comes. The so-called mistress of the mansion" Sylvia said sarcastically. Rose calmly walked downstairs, understanding that Sylvia must be troubling everyone. She is not the kind of person who likes confrontations. She would avoid them at any cost and try to avoid the people like that. But Sylvia is one person who wronged Rose for over a year now. Sylvia lied again and again, effectively separating Kairo and Rose. She almost succeeded in separating them f
On the other hand, Sylvia is seething. She never thought that Rose could grow a backbone someday. Rose was so gullible that it was too easy to fool her. Sylvia is wondering what came over her.'What happened to her? She was like a rabbit without teeth before. Now, she has become a lioness. Is she possessed? Previously, she never said a word even when I was intentionally rude to her and insulted her. She was not this angry when she learned about the lies that I had been feeding her. Then what happened now? Is she really upset because I insulted this old man? ' Sylvia wondered with confusion.When Sylvia was lost in her mind, someone snapped their fingers in front of her face. She lifted her head to see Lola, who was grinning widely."Now don't tell me that one slap ruined your hearing ability. Did you not hear what my mistress just said? She wanted you to apologize to Grandpa Russell. Now get up and apologize before my mistress decides to slap you one more time" Lola said mocking Sylvi
"Oh my freaking god. I never thought that I could see this side of you. Girl, you were amazing back there" Lola is all but jumping on her toes.Rose on the other hand is not so excited. She herself is shocked that she could hit someone like that. Not to mention that vicious Sylvia among everyone else. Rose is sitting in the backyard facing the pool and surrounded by Rose Garden. She is sitting cross-legged on a pool chair while wrapping her shaking hands around the hot coffee mug. She is trying to get a grip on herself. "I might have looked like a badass back there. But Lola, I don't know what came over me so suddenly. It all happened so unexpectedly, exactly just like how I attacked Naim like a mad person. I almost tried to kill myself too. Now, all I wanted to do was slap some sense into Sylvia. I did not like the way she was treating Grandpa. And I had this doubt that she might have had a hand in how Kairo got injured. I couldn't control my anger" she explained to Lola.Lola looke
In Texas, Miller is as pissed as Sylvia in Italy."What do you mean by she is there?" Miller inquired of Sylvia who was on the phone call with him. She is huffing and puffing like an enraged bull who is restrained by invisible threads."Exactly that. Rose is back in the Bianchi mansion. These fools in this mansion are treating her like their mistress and she is acting like one too" Sylvia complained.Miller is pacing the floor with anger. He thought Kairo took Rose to a vacation or something like that to woo her. He could never imagine in his wildest dreams that he would take her back to his mansion and she would follow after him so willingly."Then what the hell are you doing there Sylvia? Rose is as skittish as a rabbit. Why don't you rattle her cage and scare her? Scare her to the point that she should run back to Texas and never think about going back there again" he fired at Sylvia who until that point proved to be useless.Sylvia snorted sarcastically at his suggestion. He did
Kairo is in a meeting with his distributors from his illegal side."Mr. Bianchi, we are facing issues from the FBI. There is a new guy who was just transferred here. He is causing a lot of noise. We have to tackle him before he starts troubling us more" one of them requested Kairo.Most of Kairo's businesses are illegal. So he will never be friends with the cops. He pays them for their cooperation, and they turn a blind eye to his businesses. But he too heard about this new cop. He is indeed troublesome. "Don't worry about him. I will deal with him soon. He is not as clean as he portrays himself to be. He has so many skeletons hidden in his closet. I will pull his strings and make him comply. He won't be a problem in the future. Anything else?" Kairo asked authoritatively. All the distributors looked at each other and nodded."That is all, Mr. Bianchi" one of them replied.Kairo nodded and left the meeting hall with Naim closely following after him."Naim, call that cop and tell him
"Who are you and where are you taking me?" Rose demanded the cop. Even though this street is small, the scene playing on the street still attracts everyone's attention. A cop dragging anyone toward his car will only look as if that cop is doing his duty and the person whom he is taking will be assumed as a culprit. No one will know that the woman he is pulling forcefully is not a criminal until someone points out the fact.Enzo is not pleased by the fact that Rose is protesting. He glared at her."What does it look like? Don't I look like a cop? I am doing my duty by putting the criminals behind bars" he lied.He is a cop and no one would suspect that he might be lying. Rose saw how tense her bodyguards were. They are ready to jump in at any given second. But if they get involved, it would only complicate things for Kairo. Rose wants to avoid that at all costs. She is not that naive. She knows what kinds of troubles Kairo might face if his name is dragged into a bad light. So she de
A few minutes earlier. Naim looked at his blank screen with displeasure. 'This Enzo might be a problem. I have to inform the Boss ' he thought.Just like Kairo instructed, Naim invited Enzo to meet Kairo. He was polite and very calm while speaking with the cop. He knows that they need the support of the cops to run their businesses smoothly. So he was being careful while speaking with that arrogant cop. But the same politeness was not reciprocated from the other side. 'What? I should come and meet your boss. Tell him that Enzo will not go to anyone. You need me and not the other way around. I control this city and its crime rate, not you people. Tell him to come and meet in person if he wants to ' Enzo replied arrogantly before disconnecting the call.Naim was irritated. He saw so many people like Enzo in their line of work. His boss always tries the nicer and the fancy bribing method first. If that doesn't work and the other person is being too problematic, they will be transferre
In the middle of the small street where Rose was being manhandled by Enzo."I wonder how many marks my husband would leave on your body. Or if he might find some other ways to torment you. Whatever the case, I am going to enjoy your torture" Rose spoke confidently, even though she was scared out of her mind.Lola is scared too, but she finds her friend's words amusing. Indeed what she said is true. But Enzo is not as amused as Lola. He is enraged like a bull who has seen a red cloth. He let go of Rose's elbow and caught her throat instead. He started choking her. "No, let her go. Please" Lola cried out in alarm. When the people around them noticed this, they started to protest in anger."Let her go""What if you are a cop? You cannot treat a woman like that""Let's beat him to death and see who would stop us" The enraged public ran towards Enzo to help Rose. When Enzo noticed what was happening, he belatedly realized that he had fallen into the trap of the woman whom he was choki
