“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
Evan walked around his desk and stopped in front of her, his intimidating straight posture didn't fail to affect Helena as she cowered back though she was fumed at his question. Evan invaded her personal space, getting on her face, “Helena!” His voice held authority but Helena pressed her hands to his chest and shoved him back though He didn't budge. “You tell me what that was, Evan Conan Hemsworth!” Helena asked sharply. “You had no right to humiliate me in front of your staff like that. The news of our engagement is viral. Isabel called me to ask for an explanation. I lied to her because according to the contract signed between us, I can't disclose the truth of our relationship to anyone. Soon, Liam will know about us too and here you were having a great time with your publicist!” Helena busted on him, tears of irritation and anger pricked her eyes. Damn her emotions! She roughly wiped her tears and pointed a sharp finger at him. “I will not stand you humiliating me like this
Antonio sighed after Evan left from there and turned to Richard. Their revenge was fulfilled, he was relieved for his one son while still worried for the other. “Still not gotten over her?”Richard’s throat bobbed up and down as he chained his emotions. “I don't know what you are talking about,” he muttered and walked past him but the old man stopped him and gave a firm squeeze to his arm.“You want her?” Antonio again asked and Richard closed his eyes in shame. “I know it's wrong. I should hate her but…”Antonio chuckled. “The girl regrets what she did.”“Her regrets meant nothing!” Richard snapped, opening his eyes. “Look how many people suffered because of her.”Even though Richard still had feelings for her but he knew it was his problem. This time he was not going to prioritise his emotions over his duty. “Yes. I can see who suffered the most,” Richard looked away and Antonio sighed. “Give yourself some time, Boy. Give Evan and Helena some time. I am sure things would work out f
“Dad, Mom is calling you, Zio Richard and Nonno for dinner. She made Pasta, pumpkin soup and almond cookies for dessert,” Liam chimed, opening the door of Evan's home office with a huge smile on his face.It looked like the kid had forgotten everything, he was happy with all the attention he was getting from his mother and Nonno. But Evan knew better. He knew Liam was still fearful to go outside. But he would overcome this fear. He had too because Liam was his heir. Heir to Evan's damn empire. He was going to the Capo Dei capi of La Famiglia once he turned twenty-five. “We are coming, ask your mother to set the table,” Evan responded with a smile. Once his son left He turned his attention back to Richard and raised his eyebrows in question.Richard nodded. “As per your order, Capo, he is tied in the cell, without food from the last two days. Crying and begging for release.”“Tonight. Giovanni Rossi is going to have the meal of his lifetime,” Evan said smirking before getting to his
“NO! Mom…wake up. Wake up!” Evan wailed like a broken wolf. “MOM!”“Capo. She is no more,” Ricahrd softly said from behind, making Evan freeze. He could only stare at the body of his lifeless mother. She was dead. She left him. Again! In the pin drop silence, Evan slowly rose to his feet not breaking his gaze from his mother’s lifeless body. Today He lost his last blood related family. He stepped back, face blank but eyes filled with unshed tears. The child inside him still craves that motherly’s love. They could have a normal bonding, She could have been alive and with him now that their misunderstanding was clear but… Evan's eyes went red with madness as He snapped his gaze to Giovanni before shifting them back to Richard. “Take this bastard to Milan. I want him tied up in our cell!” Giovanni was too stunned to react to his order right now. He also lost his family too. His wife got the shot to save his enemy. Richard nodded. “And what about…” He stopped and getsured at Nancy.
Giovanni glared at Saint, not paying heed to his wife’s emotions. “Why did you let her down!” He barked and ordered him to take her back to the room. “Take her back!” “Nooo. I am not going anywhere!” She screeched and strode to him and pushed him hard in the chest. “I will kill you, Giovanni! I will kill you! You ruined my life. You killed my husband! You separated me from my son. You ought to die, you bastard!” She screamed, her whole life flashed in her vision. The horrible night. The horrible day she married Giovanni. The day when she sacrificed her love for Conan and accepted Giovanni in her bed.Everything about her life disgusted her today. “You cunning bastard, you deserve nothing but death!” She spit on his face and Giovanni’s eyes went wide in rage.Evan narrowed his eyes seeing her actions, her words and Giovanni’s reaction to her. It all looked too real to be an act. But again, He would be a fool to believe her. While Giovanni and his men were busy in the drama Rossi cou
“Any news?” Evan demanded Richard who shook his head and Evan's nose flared. “What the hell have you been doing till now? Give me my son's location, Richard. I do not have time!” Evan snapped before walking out of there to talk to mafia heads of other countries himself. Richard sighed and was about to make some phone calls when he received a call from someone he was not expecting. Vienna! His heart wished to talk to her but he ended the call. He was done with this girl. Forever! However his phone kept buzzing from her number. “Richard, I…” “I don't want to talk to you," he snapped, “Don't call me again, Vienna. I am done with you!” He snapped before listening to what she was saying and ended the call. Richard officially closed her chapter from his life. But soon his phone buzzed again, this time with a message and the context of the message shocked him. She was apologising to him and asking for another chance for his love. The picture she sent was proof that she was trying to c
“High blood pressure due to heavy stress. You are lucky, she didn't have a stroke. But there is nothing to worry now, we have given her sedatives. She is sleeping now. She will be fine but you have to be very careful with her now. Nothing should give her stress. Nothing,or this could be harmful for her.”The doctor informed Evan who closed his eyes in anger and exhaustion.Failures, Evan never liked them. Never! But regarding this case He had been failing every single day. He clenched his hands tightly and opened his eyes.He needed to find Liam before his wife woke up. Anyhow! He had to give his wife her happiness back. Her son back!“Capo.” Evan snapped his head at Richard who approached him. “Have you found out where he took my son?” Evan demanded before Richard could speak further. Richard looked at him apologetically. “It seems like he vanished into thin air, Capo. I have tried everything but he is nowhere to be found. Infact, he didn't even appear at his party meeting. His wif
“Giovanni, what you are doing is wrong! Leave the child, can't you see how distresee he is!’ Nancy tried to snatch Liam from Gabe but Giovanni held her arm, stopping her struggle. “Nancy. Don't make me hurt you. Your bastard son killed my son! And I am barely in control. Stop interfering or things could go very bad for you,’ Giovanni warned her in a cold tone. “Are you threatening me, Giovanni?” Nancy widened her eyes and demanded. Giovanni got into her face. “Yes, My dear wife, I am threatening you. So shut the fuck up and come with me!”He said pushing her in the waiting chopper which Elijah wanted to board to go to Fiji. But his location would slightly change.“No Giovanni, give me Liam please!” She lashed out ignoring his warning and once again tried to go to crying Liam. Giovanni, in rage, raised his hand and struck her hard. “Sit silently or you will see a face of mine you have never witnessed before!” He screamed and Nancy for a moment froze at Giovanni's action. The man who
Evan didn't say anything and was about to turn to go to his wife and child but the air of the place once again turned violent as They heard the landing of a chopper and the sound of bullets! Richard, who left with Titus before, came running. His eyes were full of tension. “Capo, We are under attack!” Viso gave him a questioning look. “What happened?” He asked pulling his phone out to call Titus to make sure Vienna was alright. “Sage called. Giovanni Rossi attacked us!”“Fucking Rossi bastards….” Evan snarled and Just then the sound of door breaking was heard and bullets started raining over them. Evan ducked his head and pulled out his gun to fight. Viso and Richard did the same as they got into the fighting stance with Giovanni Rossi’s goons which started invading the place. “Richard, Call Sage and ask him to protect my family with his life! If anything happens to them, I won't leave anyone alive!” Evan ordered in a grave tone while running to the safe point to fight. He was ten
Evan crouched down at his level and hugged him tightly before kissing his head. Then He caressed his cheeks. “Does it hurt?” He asked softly. Liam shook his head in response. “I knew you would come to save me and Mom, Dad.” Liam said with pride. Evan smiled, seeing the confidence in his eyes and voice. “I had to, Liam. Yours and your mother’s protection is my obligation. I love you both.” Evan sighed and Liam smiled. “I love you too Dad. Can we go home now, please. Iam hungry. I didn't eat anything.” Evan nodded while Helena’s heart constricted with his words. And that bastard called himself his father. Good riddance! “Sure. We will…..”“Capo..” Richard came there interrupting their talks. “Viso capo is here!” he informed Evan who sighed and nodded at him. “Liam, stay here with your Mom. After a while, we are leaving. Alright!” Liam nodded and Evan walked with Richard out of the room to introduce his friend to the new revelation of his sister. “What the hell were you thinking?
