“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
“Do not call me again,do you understand me?” Vienna snapped at Elijah over the phone. After what happened yesterday, she was enraged. The humiliation she went through in front of Richard, she couldn't get it out of her memory. Until now, she was fighting to snatch her love for Evan, but now she had another motive to tend to.“We were lucky, Richard believed my lies or I wouldn't be here today. I fucking went through the humiliation from Evan because of your negligence of not instructing your guards to keep their eyes around vigilantly. Otherwise Richard wouldn't have caught us together. So for a few days, do not contact me.” Vienna advised him. Elijah Rossi's eyebrows perked up hearing his words. “Wait. Richard believed your lie?” He asked as the wheels in his mind started to churn. “Yes. Somehow, I managed to convince him. I know he likes me but this much, I didn't know that.” Vienna sighed frustratedly. “Likes you?” Elijah's eyes sparkled hearing that. What a news she gave him.
