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'
This relationship was a mistake. I do not want it.Helena's words buzzed in Evan's ears and a molten fury ran through his. Who the hell she thinks of herself! Is it so easy to leave Evan Conan Hemsworth's life? She didn't even think once before breaking their relationship? Enraged He followed her because whether Helena liked it or not, She belonged to him now, leaving him was not an option.Richard cursed at the situation as he followed his Capo. The situation got out of hand because of Vienna. His Capo’s relationship broke down because of her. Damn you Vienna! What did you make me do! “Get out of the car!” Helena snapped at the driver of one of Evan's office cars. She needed to be with her son right now. The driver was stunned to see her disastrous condition. “Madam. I will take you wherever you want.”“I said get out!” She yelled at him this time. The driver nodded and alighted the car. Helena took his seat, shut the door, killed the engine in haste and drove towards Evan's penth
Vienna's eyes welled with tears to see Evan there. She ate out the warning that she wanted to give Helena for hitting her but instead she thought to play her card there. She kept her hand to her cheek to show Evan how his fiancèe was hurting her.“Evan…” she cried but Evan's attention was on Helena who was looking anywhere but him. Vienna’s insides burned at his ignorance of the crime Helena committed against her. He didn't care about the fact that his fiancèe slapped her. His best friend’s sister. The woman who lives only for him. The woman who loves him madly. And He didn't care about her. Helena had slapped her face with her hand but Evan slapped her soul without even touching her. The pain of the second slap was much more than the first one because it comes from Evan. Evan clenched his jaw tightly as He strode to Helena, grabbed her arm and yanked her out of Vienna’s room. Vienna let out a violent screech in anger as soon as they left the room. Her heart turned thirsty for t
Vienna sniffed again and looked at him with teary eyes. She could feel the whirling emotions in his mind with doubt. Damn, losing his support would cause her a big loss! And she didn't want that. “I came here to see if you love me too but when I met Liam here, I recalled my own childhood. He reminds me of my brother when he was Liam's age. That's why I felt connected to him. I had no other motive than living my childhood memories again through Liam. Yes, I made a mistake but was it such a big one that Helena slapped me?”Richard kept his mouth shut. Yes, the crime was worth a death sentence, Vienna. He wanted to tell her but didn't. She was already hurt and crying badly, he didn't want to add to her misery anymore.“When you lied to Evan for me, I understood that my love for you is not one-sided. That's why I confessed my love to you.” She looked at him. “..but your love is costing me self-respect, Richard. I do not know how to handle it,” she said as she wiped her tears with her ha
“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
