Elijah's heart flipped in his chest when he stood in front of his son. The moment he was waiting for was here. His son, His flesh and blood was standing in front of him. For years, he considered himself half a man because of his infertility. But today, his son's presence ended all his worries. “Liam, You wanted to meet your father, right. Let me introduce you both properly,” Vienna said in her overly sweet voice, making both father and son duo shift their attention to her. She wanted to roll her eyes when Liam and Elijah kept staring at each other. “Liam, meet Elijah Rossi. He is your Dad. And Elijah, meet your son Liam Rossi.”Liam glanced at Vienna. His eyes clenched together in a deep frown while Elijah's eyes gleamed with love. “Liam Perez, Vienna. I am not Rossi but Liam Perez.”Vienna's eyes hardened at his words. There was a sharpness in his tone which made both Vienna and Elijah share a look with each other. Elijah inhaled sharply, he needed to handle his son calmly. He ne
“Liam, how was the party?” Helena asked her son smiling when she returned home. He was watching cartoons on the iPad in the living room while Vienna was making some sketches in her drawing book. Liam raised his head from his iPad and shared a look with Vienna who shook her head slightly, gesturing to him to be quiet about the meeting. “Liam?” Helena noticed the secret look between him and Vienna. She turned to her, “What happened?” She asked, turning her head back to her son. “Is everything alright, Liam?” Liam nodded. “Yes Mom. Everything is fine. In fact I enjoyed the party a lot. The sliding waterfall. It was the best!” He said, adding a tone of excitement to his words. Vienna visibly relaxed when Liam lied so conventionally. The kid definitely has Rossi blood running in his veins, she thought, rolling her eyes. Why, she heard her brother not once but a few times mentioning that the Rossis are a bunch of lying thugs who fool the public for a living on a regular basis. Hel
“I am not leaving you. Don't go… Don't please. !”“Evan,” Helena opened her eyes hearing the painful voice, raised her head from his chest and blinked her eyes to look at his disheveled form. She was stunned to see him blabbering and sweating in his sleep while panting hard. Her own sleep vanished from her eyes. She never saw him like this helpless and afraid before even in dreams, “Don't go!” He grabbed her hand tightly in a bruising grip making her gasp in pain.Helena shook him lightly with her other hand, “Evan, it's only a dream. Wake up!” She called his name sharply to wake him up from whatever nightmare He was having. It took her a while to break him free from his nightmare. “Evan, wake up.” Evan snapped open his eyes and stiffened for a moment seeing the white ceilings above his gaze. He took a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart. It was a dream. It was a bloody dream, Evan. He told himself to ease away the tension running in him. But it felt real, it felt so real like
“Will you tell me what's the matter? What makes you this angry?” Evan asked his Godfather who gave him a heated look. “Matter!” Antonio snapped. “I returned from Mantova cancelling three events because the media was not interested in knowing about the work I want to do for the public but what would Helena and you do if Elijah Rossi wins the case.”Evan's jaw clenched tightly and He closed his eyes for a moment to control his anger. “The gossip, Evan! A single gossip about you and Helena turned the whole Rossi’s connection with Cosa Nostra news into ashes. People no longer care about their association with the crime world. They are interested in your personal life.”Evan opened his eyes and fixed them on Antonio's burning eyes. “Let them!” He gritted. “If they are interested in my personal life then I will give them the show but I will win this damn election, Antonio. Any bloody way! And I have decided to adopt Liam as my own son. Did I not tell you that already?”Antonio let out a ti
Richard ordered the guards to take Liam home in their car. He received a call from Dima who told him Vienna came to school and told them Liam wished to have pizza with her today at this said restaurant. They allowed them to go inside but as per Richard’s orders Dima and Salvatore were obliged to inform him of every single activity about Liam since the custody case news had spread. Richard too didn't find Vienna at home on her usual time and this irked him. Didn't this girl know how dangerous was it to roam around with Liam in a public place when the crazy media and Rossis were hot on their tales? He wanted to scold her for jeopardizing her and Liam’s life like this. But when he saw Elijah Rossi and his mother with them inside the restaurant, his blood boiled at the sight. Keeping his calm, he pulled them out of that place. That bastard Elijah was still not learning his lesson to stay away from Liam. As Dima and Salvatore put Liam into the car and drove away home, Richard couldn
Evan took a huge guest of the cigar He was smoking and exhaled it through his nose. His Godfather’s words about acting like one happy family with Liam and Helena in front of the world were jumbling in his mind. Evan had no issues doing that. He considers both Helena and Liam as his family but He knows how protective Helena was for Liam. She would never let him use her son for the purpose of winning this election. But what other option does He have? None. His revenge, this election and his love life all were mixed together. He couldn’t separate one from another. “I told you I do not like it when you smoke in our room, Evan. The smell of nicotine gives me a headache,” Helena’s sharp voice from behind made him turn his head around.He immediately killed his cigar by rubbing it in the ashtray on the table. “I needed some of the nicotine to kill the tension in me,” He said with a sigh before waking to her and holding her shoulders. His soft gaze held her sharp one. “The nicotine is not
“Liam, how was school today?” Helena asked her son as usual as she crouched to his level and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Liam looked at Dima and Salvatore, worried what if they tell his mother about the meeting. Vienna was not there either. Now, Liam felt as if he was caught cheating in the class. “Tell me, Son. How was your school? Did you sit with Nia or someone else?”“Nia,” He answered but fear was visible in his eyes and it seemed odd to Helena who saw how uneasy her son was right now. “Liam, is everything alright? Do you want to tell me something?” She asked him but her eyes went to Dima and Salvatore. Both of them remained silent because Richard ordered them not to say anything. But again, their loyalty to their Capo and the woman they took a bloody oath to protect troubled them to stay silent. Before Dima or Salvatore could say anything, Evan appeared there and his intimidating aura filled the air. “Good afternoon, Capo.”He gave them a stiff nod before turning to H
“Where are we going, Mom?” Liam asked his mother when she told him that he was not going to school today but somewhere else. Liam thought it had something to do with the incident yesterday. Vienna told him that she had handled the situation and asked him not to talk about it to anyone.In his tension, he missed her mother's happy features. “Mom?”“Why do you look stressed, Liam? What happened to my son's excitement? You should be jumping on your bed in happiness that you are not going to school today. You have changed, Liam. Alot!” Helena stared at her son’s face. He blinked. “So have you, Mom,” he muttered slowly, making her frown deeply. “What did you say?” she asked as she couldn't hear him. “I was asking where we are going Mom?” Helena smiled. “It's a surprise for you,” she answered with a soft peck on his head. “I have taken out your favourite superhero T-shirt with jeans. Come on now, run to the bathroom and get dressed till then I will prepare breakfast for you.”Liam felt
“What?” Isabel was stunned. “Vienna is nowhere to be found?” Viso was pacing around Evan's penthouse, madly. His sister was once again kidnapped! The past painful memories of her kidnapping hit him like a bullet. “He said you talked to him, Isabel!” Viso demanded as he came to a stop in front of his beloved wife and held her shoulders. “Did you call anyone?” He asked in a grave tone. “I know you love Helena and can do anything for her. Vienna was a threat to Helena's happiness in your eyes. Did you vanish her so that she couldn’t harm Evan's married life or…”“Viso!” Isabel snapped, interrupting his senseless talks. “Are you even listening to yourself? Why would I kidnap your sister? She is no threat to Helena's happiness. Didn't you see how much Helena and Evan loved each other? How happy are they together?”Viso's nose flared in anger. “Then where the hell is she?” He asked in a loud voice, making her jump in fear.The look of madness on his face didn’t go unnoticed by Isabel's ey
Titus pulled his knife against the spa owner’s neck. He needed to fucking know where his Capo's sister disappeared. She said it would take her a full day at the spa. He stood in front of it the whole day but in the evening he found Vienna vanished just like that. He was terrified. He knew if Viso found out about it, death would not be his punishment but a favour. He tried to contact her, but the bigger problem was her phone was turned off too. “I asked you like a gentleman but you didn't help. Now tell me where Vienna is or this will be your last breath!” Titus gritted out making the owner of the spa whimper in pain. “You can't kill me. I pay your security money to your Capo. If he finds out, he won't like it.” the owner tried to threaten Titus who chuckled at him. “For the crime you did, my Capo will annihilate you himself! Now don't waste my time and tell me where the fuck is Vienna!” He asked, piercing the tip of the knife into his skin making the manager cry like a pig. “He
“Have you found him? Where is Liam?” Helena asked her husband the moment He stepped into the living room where she was sitting with Isabel. Both the friends were crying for hours, Isabel kept cursing herself for Liam's kidnapping. She was praying for her friend’s son to return safely home so that the guilt she had been feeling could leave her conscience and she could finally breathe freely. Evan's silence was killing Helena like a slow poison. “Evan, Where is my son?” she demanded as she held onto his arm for strength. Evan forced himself to look at her. He was angry that his wife was shedding tears because of his failures. This was supposed to be the best time of her life, she should be smiling in marital bliss right now. But instead, here she was shedding tears. She was crying for her son's safety. “I am trying Helena. I…”“What is your trying worth?” She questioned him, her eyes hard and accusing. “I do not want you to try! I want you to bring my son back!”Her distressed voice
Nancy sharpened her eyes, accusing her father who remained unaffected as if he didn't care at all. She shook her head at his silence. “It was you! It was you who ruined my family. It was you who tried to kill my son! There was no accident. You really sent killers after my husband and child, Didn't you? Tell me?” Nancy grabbed her father's collar and screamed in rage. Giampaolo’s eyes went wild at her assault and he couldn't feign it anymore. He couldn't tolerate the insult so he barked, “Yes I did that! And I will do it again until I end that Conan's bloodline from this earth!” Nancy's mouth hung open, eyes turned red in rage. Without knowing what she was doing, she left his collar and struck his face hard! “You murderer!”Giampaolo’s face turned abruptly to the other side and he froze. He never, even in his worst nightmares, thought that his daughter who used to get scared of his angry eyes would slap him one day. He rested his hand on hi
Giampaolo's eyes blazed, he was about to scold his daughter for barging like this and behaving childish but Giovanni interrupted him. “Nancy, is everything alright, Darling?” He asked, before standing and walking towards her. He held her hand which she pulled back from him.“No!” She snapped at her husband and moved to her father. “I want to have an urgent conversation with my father, gentlemen,” she said, turning to the men they were having this important meeting with. “So I request you both please leave.”The men glanced at Giampaolo who was fuming inwardly but outside, he flashed them an apologetic smile. “Gentlemen, we will continue this meeting after a short break.”Once they left, Giampaolo grabbed Nancy’s arm and turned her to him. “What is the meaning of this immature behaviour!”She snatched her arm from his grip. “You will not raise your voice at me father! Today, you will not raise your voice but answer my question only!” The anger in her eyes made Giampaolo frown. Giovann
Her son? Ethan!Nancy blinked once, twice and thrice not absorbing the news that upsided her world. “Shocked?” Evan mocked her once again seeing her ashen face and stepped near her again smelling her stiff aura. “Etha...” “Are you shocked that how could I be alive, Mother?” Ethan chuckled lowly and that tone brought back the sanity Nancy Just lost a few seconds ago. She was about to touch his face but his words snapped her mind.Her breathing quickened as his words rang in her ear. She stepped back in astonishment but He stepped forward. “Are you shocked that you failed….“Stop!” Nancy screamed at the ugly accusation. She looked up into his eyes. Her son’s eyes, who was staring at him with a murderous glare. Her Son was alive. He was really Alive. But how? Where have He been all these years? Number of questions were eating her mind but the accusation He was throwing at her stunned her to the core. She just couldn't accept it. “Stop accusing me of such a hideous crime! Do you rea
“What is the meaning of this, Mr Hemsworth?” Nancy Rossi reprimanded when Evan blocked her way from the hotel’s washroom, stopping her from returning to her friends. Evan gave her a heated glare. “I am not here to listen to your talks, Mrs Rossi. I am here to ask you where the hell is my son!” He demanded in a threatening voice which made Nancy frown her eyebrows. “What do you mean where is your son? How would I know that?” She asked with confused eyes but in an irritated tone. Evan's anger rose tenfold. Viso and Richard stood behind him silently but both were ready to take every step for him.Evan took a step forward and got into Nancy's face, invading her personal space. “Mrs Rossi, I do not have the patience to see your acting. So stop acting innocent and tell me where Liam is?” He demanded in a deep and low voice, raising his finger at her accusingly.Nancy eyes his pointed finger at her. “You should be the one answering this question, not me. Where is my grandson, Mr Hemsworth
“No!” Helena yelled at her friend. “You are lying! Say that you are lying, Isabel. Say it!” Helena lost her cool. She was in shock, she never thought her happiness was this short lived. She was sleeping in Evan's arms when his phone buzzed with an urgency. She thought Isabel was calling her to tease her but that was not the case. No, her friend was not calling her for teasing but to give her the news which snatched the soul out of her body. Her son was kidnapped by some masked men when Isabel took him playing in the park. Liam's giggling voice buzzed into her ears while Isabel apologised to her for not being careful with Liam. Evan was stunned at the news too. He never thought something like this would happen while they were on their honeymoon. He didn't waste time and thought about the people who could harm Liam? Nancy Rossi? Vienna D'Angelo? Elijah Rossi? Or his mafia enemies? Who could it be? Giovanni and Giampaolo. He had arguments with both Nancy and Giampaolo in the
“What happened? Will you tell me?” Antonio snarled at Isabel who was still shaking in shock. She didn't understand anything that happened at the park. One moment she was happily playing with Liam and the next moment he was kidnapped. She tried to save him but the kidnapper attacked her too. They pushed her so hard that her body was still tender and swollen. Isabel didn't care about herself. She only cared about Liam and his safety. But she didn't even know how she was going to face Helena. She left her son in her safety and now he was gone. She didn't even know who kidnapped him. Was it Elijah or someone else? Who could it be? “Isabel, I am asking you something! What happened, tell me?” Antonio’s sharp voice pulled her out of the heavy thoughts she was lost in. She looked at him with tear-filled eyes. “I.. I dont know. I was playing with Liam and suddenly a van came there. Two masked men jumped out of it and they took Liam with them. When I ran after them they pushed me har
