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
“I wanted to tell you but it all happened so suddenly that I didn't get the chance, Isa,” Helena pleaded with her friend to uplift her mood who was upset and angry at her at the same time. “Are you serious, Leena!” Isabel almost screamed in disbelief. “I can't believe you are marrying Evan. You never told me anything about being in a relationship with him. Where did you two meet, Leena? I want to know everything. You have been hiding from public eyes for years and now you are suddenly attending parties with Evan. Parties where Your family and Ex were present. I find all this fishy, tell me what is going on, Leena?” Isabel demanded over the phone call. Helena sighed. The news of her engagement with Evan went viral within a few hours. It became hot news in the whole country, let alone the state of Lombardy. She had ten missed calls and many messages from Isabel when she woke up the next morning. Helena knew what was waiting for her, so she called her only after Liam left for
