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.
“BAWLING!” Liam cried in happiness when he saw his mother and Evan brought him to his favourite Mall’s gaming section. “Yes. We thought about giving you a surprise, baby. Today, we will do whatever you want. From playing your favourite games to shopping and eating out. Whatever you want,” Helena told her son with a huge smile as her own excitement rose, seeing his joy. Liam’s eyes went to Evan who gave him a small smile. “You are the owner of our day today, Liam.” Liam for a moment fell silent but Helena grabbed his hand and handed him the ball to play. “What about a match, Liam. You versus Mom.” “Like old time, Mom?” He asked, giggling. “Like old times, Liam.” “But Mom. We don't have Isa with us. It would have been more fun if she had been here. It was always us versus you because you are a champion in bowling,” he whined while Helena smirked. “Are you accepting your defeat even before the start of the game, Liam Perez?” “No. He is not, Miss Perez?” Evan answered for
“Where is she?” Richard asked Jenny as he entered Vienna's room and didn't find her there. “In the balcony. She is talking to her brother,” Jenny answered but her eyebrows wrinkled to see his condition. Messy hair, wrinkled clothes. A four day long beard. She wondered if everything was alright with him. Richard let out the breath he was holding out of fear. “You may leave,” he ordered Jenny, whose frown deepened at his rude tone. But with a nod she left the room.Richard raked a hand to his face and went towards the balcony where she was talking to her brother. “No, everything is fine here, Viso. Can't I call you to just talk. I was missing you,” Vienna said as she held the steel railings tightly while staring at the sky. Elijah's words about her brother crossing limits of madness to win his love kept buzzing in her ears. She needed some strength to act on her plan. And what could be the bigger motivator than talking to her brother who had set the bar high for every obsessive lov
“I am enjoying it here. Thank you for the special day.” Helena said, linking her arms to Evan’s neck. A soft smile played on her lips as she got on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.Evan smiled. “If you are enjoying it so much then we can do it again next week. I want you and Liam to be happy with me. Nothing else.”“We are happy, Evan,” she whispered softly as she turned her face to her son who was playing a video game with Dima as his playing partner. “See how happy he looks. I am sure whatever hesitation he has for you, soon, you will win it over,” She let out a heavy breath and then shook her head. “What happened?” Evan asked, holding her face and making her look at him. “Tell me what's worrying you?”“The court case. In two weeks it's the first hearing of Liam's custody case. It gives me anxiety. I think about it every time.”“My lawyers are handling it. Do not worry about it. We are going to win the case. Liam is your son and he will always be yours. Nobody could snatch
Antonio opened the champagne bottle, his face expressing satisfaction with a huge smile. “You, Evan, are truly Conan’s son. His tactics are running in your veins. Son, I am proud of you.”Evan held the champagne glass nodding but his mind was still on what Liam told him. Elijah Rossi has eyes on Helena. His love! He thought about the hundreds of colorful ways to kill that bastard. But one thing was sure, He was going to pop out Elijah's eyes with his knife for looking at his fiancèe. “The newspapers are filled with your outing pictures. The media is talking about your bonding with Liam. Our image in public is getting better as per the survey after this viral news,” Antonio raised his glass to cheer but Evan's preoccupied state made him frown. “Son?” He shook Evan's shoulder slightly to bring his attention back to him. Evan raised his eyes at Antonio. “What?” “I was talking about the success of your plan but it seems you are somewhere else,” Antonio stated as he took a seat beside
