Helena chose to ignore the call from Elijah Rossi. She had no wish to hear his ugly voice. However, this call reminded her that she had no time to waste anymore. She needed to be with Evan immediately. But her cell buzzed again. This time with a message from Elijah Rossi. Suppressing her tension, Helena tapped on the notification icon and her face contorted into fury, seeing the content of the message. Tick. Tick. Tick. Your time is almost over, Helly baby. Come to me with my son or… He left the message hanging but it was clear that he was threatening her. Helena’s eyes flashed angrily recalling her brutal car accident and she clutched her phone in her hand tightly. “I will come to you, Elijah but not to hand over my son. I will come to take your life!” She gritted out staring at her phone. It was time they all paid the prices of her losses. Long gone was the naive Helena. “Mom?” Liam’s voice pulled her out of vengeful thoughts and she composed herself before smiling at
Evan poured himself another drink while focussing his mind to his goal. He had to win this election at any cost or everything He planned would be burnt to the ground like it did years ago. Giovanni Rossi’s political power was the only thing that kept saving him every time Evan tried to harm him. Money and outlawing means are always a step behind when it comes to legitimate backing. Evan decided to snatch Giovanni’s only strength, his political designation. Of course, him being the lawmaker, was going to be beneficial for his business and mafia both. It was a win-win on both hands. But that win was not in his hands, it was in the hands of people. He had to win their so-called hearts somehow to gain that political power but not Like Rossi did. He had different ways to rule in the hearts of people with respect and fear. “Mr Antonio has been calling from the last hour.” Richard’s voice broke the intense chain of thoughts Evan was building. He raised his eyes at his right hand man.
“Liam, who are these men?” Nia, Liam’s friend asked when she saw two huge men walking behind Liam. Soon, all his friends came to him and asked the same question.“They are my bodyguards,” Liam answered rather proudly, eyeing the two suited men standing behind him. Liam didn't understand why he needed bodyguards. But his mother informed him that it's because of her new job. Now that she was working with Evan, they needed security as Evan was a very rich man. But Liam didn't want anyone watching him around school. His biggest concern was what if they tell his mother something that happened at school? So once his mother left, dropping him off at school, he gave them his own instructions. “You won't tell anything that happens at school to my Mom or I won't let you guard me.” His dark brown hair and blue eyes held authority as he ordered the guards. They both shared a look before Dolga, the senior among them agreed to Liam's demand. Their job was to give hourly details about Liam to thei
The place was gleaming under the golden glow of chandeliers and lights as the hall was packed with all city elites. The charity auction was yet to start however the party was in full swing. People were interacting with each other and at the center of the room were standing her enemies. The Rossis!But they were not alone. Helena tightened her hold on his arm as her face clenched tightly seeing people who didn't leave an inch to ruin her life. she was not expecting them there. Her stepsister and stepmother along with her father. Evan felt her stiffened suddenly, with a frown He followed her line of vision and found Helena’s family along with Rossis. “Showing off your emotions is the biggest error one could make, Helena. Do not let anyone plague your thoughts, Be the puzzle no one could solve. It will defeat them mentally.”Helene glanced at him and his charming smile put her at ease even though it was not a sincere one but His words motivated Helena to calm her features. Evan gave he
“Ah! It’s my dear sister Helena,” Victoria chimed with a fake smile, however, her eyes reflected her true emotions. Anger and enviousness dripped out of Victoria Gelati’s features seeing Helena’s glowing face and body wrapped in a lavish gorgeous attire. “Where have you been for the past seven years? I heard that you gave birth to a bastard son.”Helena straightened her posture, her eyes flashed and wrath filled her gaze. She wanted to rip Victoria’s tongue out of her mouth but Evan’s words about losing control buzzed in her ears and she gave her a stretched smile. “Miss Gelati…”“Nah,” Victoria raised her finger at her. “Mrs Rossi. While you were giving birth to Elijah’s bastard, I married him, Dear sister,” She announced proudly with a mocking gleam. Helena’s nose flared in fury, she clenched her hands tightly in a fist. “Mrs Rossi, I suggest you watch your words because if you call my son a bastard one more time, I will rip your tongue out of your ugly mouth and hand it over to
“The diamonds in this necklace are one of a kind, the design is inspired by a wild rose,” The auctioneer informed about the exclusive diamond necklace engraved with small diamonds shaped in petals around a thick chain, “The bid for this will start from 25 million euros.”“Elijah, I want this necklace,” Victoria insisted to her husband, clinging to his arm while her eyes were on Helena whose gaze momentarily shifted to her. Elijah smirked, staring right at Helena as he raised Victoria’s hand and kissed it. “It's yours.” The husband and wife were trying to make Helena jealous. Victoria spoke loud enough for her ears to hear as their tables were not far from each other. Helena turned her cold gaze ahead silently and fisted her hands tightly under the table as she turned to Evan. “How much is this necklace really worth?” Evan, who really wasn't paying attention to this stupid auction, looked up from his phone hearing her low voice. He glanced at the diamond necklace carefully on the scr
Evan spun her around before pulling her back into his arms. Helena landed in his arms smoothly as He held her waist tightly. Her eyes wide with the sudden move but Evan gave her a twisted smirk. He neared her ear and whispered sensually, “Welcome to my dark Kingdom, Mia Cagna. I knew you would be a perfect match for my darkness. My corrupted queen.” Then He placed a soft kiss on her temple, lingering on her skin for two seconds before leaning back his face, sealing the sub deal of their private promising words. Goosebumps rose in Helena’s body hearing his dark words but his lips created havoc inside her. She gulped her saliva and smiled at him when she felt eyes on them. People’s eyes! Helena knew what He was referring to. Corrupted Queen! Helena was stunned by the title. Yes, she was no longer a naive forgiving girl, she was corrupted by the thirst for revenge. Evan smirked seeing her grim expression. “Calm yourself, Mia Cagna.The road to becoming a fierce lioness is longer
Evan lightly messaged his forehead and heaved out a tiring breath, He was close to losing his patience. The person who called him to meet had been staring at him from the past fifteen minutes without uttering a single word and it was irritating Evan. “Will you say something or do you want to stare at me the whole night, Compagno?” Evan asked when Viso D’Angelo remained silent for another ten seconds. “How does it feel, Hemsworth?” Viso questioned his best friend leaning back in his chair and pinning him with a disappointed stare. “I am getting the news of your engagement from the fucking media.” Viso was not pleased with the news. Evan’s engagement didn't surprise him but what stunned him was the person whom his friend got engaged to. “There are billions of women in this world. Young and old. You could have chosen any of those women but you chose Her!” Viso spat. “Helena Perez! Why do you want to spoil your life by marrying her, Evan? She is a nuisance to live with and not to
“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
