Giampaolo smirked to see the current news running on the television screen. The whole media was talking about Elijah and Nancy's secret meeting with Liam. This news was going to help them win custody of his great-grandson. “You look happy, Dad?” Nancy asked as she took a seat beside him.Giampaolo looked at her and smiled. “Of course I am happy. Look how much the media is praising your and Elijah's meeting with Liam. Nancy, you are my pride. You have always made me happy with your actions except for once.”Nancy's inside tightened at the reminder of her past. “Father, will you stop talking about it please. I forgot it long ago and do not want to remember it but you keep throwing it at me.”Giampaolo nodded. “You forgot your past but your past has not forgotten us Nancy,” He said recalling the bastard Evan who dared to challenge his authority. He was going to kill that bastard just like he killed his father.Nancy stiffened at his words. “What do you mean, my past has not forgotten m
“Arom?” Giovanni asked his son Elijah who nodded at him with irritation. “Yes, he had been asking for a meeting for the last few days. I kept denying him but today he came here unannounced,” Elijah informed his father who sighed in annoyance. He placed the whiskey glass on the table and nodded. The conversation cum argument he had with Giampaolo in the afternoon sat heavy in his mind and he decided to have a drink to ease the sudden tension that the old man gave him. But easing tension was not in his destiny today, it seemed like that. Or why would Arom Gelati come here without any warning? The greedy son of a bitch, God knows what he would ask from him in exchange for the divorce of his daughter from Elijah.They needed Victoria for a few more days, at least until the election and custody case of Liam. She was needed to complete their family image. After the election, Elijah would leave Victoria and get married to Helena.But it was not as easy as it seemed. There were many hurdle
“Death!” Giovanni whispered and nodded. “There is another thing we need to talk about, Arom,” Giovanni said after a minute of consideration. He needed Arom’s help, so his idea of pushing him away was not possible anymore. But again, he couldn't see his son unhappy. Helena was not returning to his life, he wouldn't allow it. But he was not letting Victoria in his life either. “What is it?” Arom asked.“I want Victoria and Elijah’s divorce,” Giovanni answered and Arom frowned at his words. Does he know about Rita and Victoria's plan? Arom clenched his jaw tightly as Giovanni stared at him intently.“Why?” he asked. “Victoria loves Elijah. They are perfect for each other. They love each other. Why do you want them to get divorce?”Giovanni shook his head. “No, they are not happy together. I do not know about your daughter, Arom but I am not letting my son suffer because of Victoria. I have decided that after the election and this custody battle with Evan, Victoria and Elijah are gett
“Is there anything left now!” Antonio snapped at Evan. “I asked you to send that girl back to her brother but you didn't listen to me. Evan! Now see what she has gotten you into. Your relationship with Helena is on the line. She jeopardised Liam's safety but you didn't listen to me!” Evan's nose flared. “She is naive, Antonio. She doesn't know her mistake will create this big of a blunder. And I do not want to talk about it right now. My mind is already heavy with so many things. So give me a break!” He pressed his temples. Antonio's eyes turned cold. “Break, you want to break, EVAN!” Antonio snarled at his godson. “You are not getting any break from me. Today you have to listen to what I am saying,” he let out a deep, heavy breath giving Evan a reality check. “This girl Vienna, she is not sane. Ever since she came here she is creating problems for you and Helena. I do not understand Evan, are you really blind or you do not want to see her true intentions?” He yelled. Evans' eyes
Antonio stared at Richard, dumbfounded, so his theory was wrong that she liked Evan. While Evan's eyebrows wrinkled in shock. “Vienna is your what?” Evan demanded as He pinned him with a dangerous glare. “Girlfriend, Capo. She is my girlfriend.”Evan moved and got into his face. He grabbed Richard's collar, “Do you know what you are saying, Richard? She is Vienna D’Angelo. Viso D’Angelo’s sister!”Richard nodded with a confident gaze. “Yes and she loves me.” He let out. “And her position as Viso's sister doesn't matter to me. For me she is my girlfriend, the woman I love.”“Dammit! Richard. Her brother is MAD! He called me to inquire about the man in his sister's life. Do you know what it meant? He is planning to test Vienna's lover. And you very well know how VISO D'ANGELO TEST SOMEONE!” Evan barked, leaving him with a jerk.Richard’s foot stumbled a bit, but he straightened his posture. “I know and I am not scared of his test, Capo. What matters to me is Vienna's happiness.”Anton
Liam had his arms crossed and head down as his mother asked about his meeting with Elijah. So Evan lied to him. He had told his mother everything about the meeting. Liar! Liam thought angrily. I hate him. “You know I love you, Liam. I am more hurt not because you met him But because you hid this big thing from me,” Helena uncrossed his hands from his chest and held them between her palms. She knew her son crosses hands when he is stubborn or angry. And right now he was both. “Look at me, Liam and tell me what are you angry about? Why did you not tell me about this meeting?” she asked, raising his chin with her forefinger to make him look at her. Liam opened his mouth then closed it again. Helena could see her son's reluctance to share his feelings with her. She took it as a failure of her motherhood. She had always been proud of the fact that even though she couldn't give her son a family life, She still gave him a healthy childhood where he can share anything with her
“Wear something black. It looks good on you. Just like the dark Queen of my world,” Evan said as He came to stand behind her in front of the mirror. Helena's heart picked up speed when He pulled her barely clothed body into hisafter she took a shower. “Everyone there must remember that you represent Evan Conan Hemsworth,” his masculine breathy voice sent her heart on a marathon of emotions. Helena looked into his eyes and the intensity in his gaze brought a shrill of excitement to her soul. Evan smirked seeing her laboured breathing. He softly held her shoulders and messaged them with his thumbs. “Tonight is very special for us, Helena. Political Royalty. I want to snatch this tag from the Rossis. In a few weeks, their status in society will shift from political Royalty to beggars striving for food on roads.” Helena could only stare into his dark blue gaze which turned intimidating with every word from his mouth. “Is it necessary for Liam to come with us? The media is there, El
The St Louis auditorium hosted the intense debate between Antonio and Giovanni, with Lombardy's future hanging in the balance. The audience included Lombardy's Elites. Businessmen, Social workers and the few citizens of Lombardy who were going to decide the future of Giovanni and Antonio. Evan, Helena and Liam were sitting in the front row.The camera kept zooming on Liam every now and then, his face flashed on the huge screen behind. People were cheering and clapping loudly in excitement for the debate. Giovanni’s family, his wife, father-in-law were sitting also in the front row to his side opposite Antonio's family. Elijah and his wife Victoria along with her parents came in support for Giovanni. Elijah’s eyes went to Helena’s beautiful face, his love for Helena was turning into an obsession with every passing second. He hates seeing Helena and his son sitting beside his enemy. His eyes went to his son and he passed him a smile. Liam's eyes turned hard and he gave him a n
“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
