“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
Elijah eyed the newspapers on the table which had the pictures of Evan and Liam together, enjoying the day as if they were biologically related, a father and son.The smile on Liam's face was broad and happy. A real smile, he recalled how his son smiled in his presence. Forced! Liam’s smile was forced in his presence. Anger ran through his body thinking that. His resentment perked as he picked the newspapers and ripped them apart. His son was more comfortable with his enemy than Him. Elijah felt humiliated, the woman he loves was happy with Evan. His son was happy with Evan while his hands and life was empty.He couldn't tolerate this. “Evan!” He gritted out in rage before punching the table hard while the newspaper was still curled into his fist. “Elijah!” Giovanni entered his son's room and was astounded to see his condition. “What the hell are you doing?” He demanded, grabbing his swollen hand and inspecting it. Elijah snatcehd his hand from his Father’s hold. “I am losing my s
“Mr Hemsworth. I was thinking if we could meet today,” Victoria Rossi called Evan and requested a meeting with him. Evan rolled his eyes at her request. “Mrs Rossi. I think you should be more focused on the deal we had rather than meeting me. You promised that you will give me their secret information regarding their debates, planning etc. But until now, I got nothing from you.”Victoria smiled as she felt herself valuable even in his revenge game. At least it would make him grow close to her. “About that Mr Hemsworth, at the television debate after two days, Giovanni Rossi will be there with his family and he might make an attack on your family life. I mean, I heard that he might question your parents because nobody knows who they are. Giovanni Rossi has decided to hit you and your Godfather below the belt. That's what I have heard.”Evan's eyes hardened hearing that. “What about the news regarding Liam's custody battle? I want to know everything about that case. Every single minor
“What do you want?” Helana hissed at Elijah over the phone. She didn't want to talk to him but the bastard was calling her continuously back to back like a leech so she accepted his call only to realize he called her in the drunk state and she had to listen to his ugly voice. “You know very well I want you Helena. I can give up on anything for you. Just come back to me and end this separation, Helly.” He slurred. Her eyes narrowed and nose scrunched in disgust. “Elijah. I do not have time to listen to your drunk talk. I am at the office and currently very busy. So if you do me a favor, don't call me again and get lost,” she gritted and was about to end the call when Elijah's sharp voice once again stopped her from snatching her phone from her ear. “If you love our son, Helena, you will listen to me. Liam's life is more important to both of us than our pride and ego. As parents we should think about our child’s betterment and future right?”Helena's heart pounded against her ribcage
Evan once again pinched his eyes, seeing the pain in her eyes and her cracking voice. “Helena, love, listen to me,” He said, moving near to her. “It's not what you are thinking it is,” He started, raising his hand to hold her arm but she stepped away from his touch as if she was disgusted with him.“You knew about it and didn't bother sharing it with me. It's my son's safety you were hiding from me, Evan! Do you think it's a joke?” She bellowed. Her body was shaking with hurt and anger. Evan's eyes hardened at the accusation in her voice. “Joke! When did I take Liam’s safety lightly?” He demanded, now his own anger peaking up. She scoffed at his words. “You tell me. Do you remember the times you have changed his guards? Thrice. Three bloody times. Every Time I confronted you and you said it was for the best. I agreed because I had full faith in you. And see what happened. Read what people are talking about us? They are calling your outing. Our family outing a publicity stunt!”Evan'
