“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
“He broke my son’s nose! Is this kind of behaviour acceptable in school, Mr. Gilbert?” Liam’s classmate's mother, Mary, exclaimed at the Principal Head of the school while giving a heated glare to Liam who returned it with the same intensity. He stood there wearing a smug look on his face as if he owned the place. The only reason that the woman couldn't dare to raise her hand on Liam was because of the two bodyguards standing behind him like shadows. “What kind of administration do you have here?” She demanded, “You allowed goons in the school, I will complain about you and your school to higher authorities, Mr. Gilbert.”Mr Gilbert sighed deeply seeing the infuriated lady, Mary, creating commotion around his office. “Mrs Spears, please calm down, we have contacted the ward’s mother. She will be here anytime soon. I assure you, The matter will be taken into consideration,” The head principal tried to calm the lady but She once again glared at Liam.“Fine! Let his mother come, I wil
“Are you hurt by the other kid in any way? You can tell me if someone…” Evan stopped his inquiry seeing Liam who was fuming in anger while sitting beside him in the backseat of the car. His blue eyes narrowed in glare at Evan. “I don't need your help to defend my matters. I can take care of the bullies,” His big words didn't fail to impress Evan. The kid grew daring nerves but his reaction to the engagement news was worrying Evan. He predicted his anger but this was more than anger. This was rage. Evan wondered how Helena would handle this rage. Now thinking about it, He apprehended that this kid literally took his mother’s stubbornness and fierce attitude. Evan thought about some way to calm Liam, “I can hide this incident from your mother, if you want,” He said, trying to break the ice between them. “It could be our secret, you know,” Evan shrugged, “A man-to-man secret.”Liam once again watched him through his lashes. He was nervous about his mother coming to know about his viol
Helena blinked at her son’s statement. “Love?” she whispered, the word alone left a bitter taste in her mouth. She didn't want to be anywhere near this word again let alone feeling something like this again. But her son’s interrogating eyes were making her uncomfortable. She had no other option but to lie through her teeth again. “Yes but not more than you. I will only be with him if you accept him too.” “You lied to me about the Job, Mom,” He whispered. “No, Liam. He gave me a job too. In fact I am joining his office from tomorrow as his personal assistant,” She clarified. “I Just…i didn't tell you about it because I wanted you to meet Evan first and get to know him. He is a good man and he…” “Love you?” Liam asked, “Does he love you too, Mom?” “Yes. He loves me!” Helena told him earnestly. Liam went silent. He didn't like it, he wanted his mother to be with him only but Liam was mature enough not to stand between his mother's happiness. He was just possessive about his
“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
