“Am I here to bring you your coffees only?” Helena questioned Evan when He asked her to bring him the third cup of coffee in the last three hours. Evan raised his icy blue eyes from the file He was reading and set them to Helena, His irked fiancèe who seemed in fight mode already. “No, you can bring snacks as well. Be a little creative while serving your boss, Love,” He answered in a serious tone. He was working and she interrupted him with some unimportant question with that face that irked him twice than her. Evan didn't like it when someone interrupted him during work. Helena narrowed her eyes at his tone and taunt. “I am your assistant, not your server. I should be handling your schedule, sorting your files, sending emails to your clients and tasks like those but here, I am serving you coffee. Just a coffee! Are you kidding me!" Evan looked at her straight and raised his eyebrows. “Again, it's a part of your job, what's wrong with that?” “The wrong thing is…” she opened her
“What do you want to eat?” Antonio asked Liam, handing him the menu. “You can order whatever you want.”Liam looked at his newly-launched grandfather through the corner of his eyes. “Why are you sweet and nice to me?” he demanded straightforwardly. Antonio’s eyebrows perked up at the kid’s attitude. “Don't you like me being nice, Grandson?” He asked with a smile. “Step-grandson,” Liam said, his answer shocked Antonio. He was not expecting a six-year-old kid to speak such a strong word. “My friend, Zuzana’s stepfather and his family used to act nice with her in front of others and her mother. But she told me they were not nice to her at all. So if you are planning something like that, don't even think about it. I won't let you fool my mom,” Liam warned him, his eyes throwing warning red bulbs at Antonio. But Antonio’s eyes gleamed seeing the daringness of the kid. He could see a great future for him in la Famiglia once he grew up. He could see Evan in Liam. After all, history was
“Where are you going?” Evan asked when He watched Helena walking towards the adjoined room. “To my room, Antonio is not here so we don't have to be in the same room,” Helena answered as she got to know that Anotonio had taken Liam out. Evan gave her a look, “No you are not. Whether Antonio is here or not, you will share this room with me.” “Why?” Helena asked as a mild frown creased between her eyebrows. Evan turned to sit on the sofa and unbuttoned his shirt, getting relaxed. His attention fixed on her, “Because You need to be comfortable with me. We have to act in love in front of Antonio, don't forget that.” Helena made a face. “Aren't we doing that already? But right now he is not here and I want to be alone, Evan. I need some space,” She snapped as the tense line grew on her face. Her sore tone ticked Evan as He stared at her before getting to his feet and walking to her. His stern eyes fixed on her while He stopped before her. “And what is the reason for this snappy tone
“Evan, What are you trying to say…” Helena ignored his kiss and asked him but Evan placed a finger to her lips. “I think we should have our dinner now. Antonio and Liam will be back soon.” Helena understood she was dismissed from this topic. She looked at him and nodded reluctantly as his finger lingered on her lips. She left to take a shower while Evan called Jenny to serve dinner. When Antonio came back with Liam Evan and Helena both were waiting for them in the living room. Helena received her son with a warm smile and hug before taking Liam to his room leaving Evan and Antonio in each other’s company. “Good night, Antonio,” Evan said with a nod before turning to go to his room but Antonio stopped him with a question He was not expecting at this hour. “Tell me again, How did you meet your fiancèe, Evan?” Evan looked at him with a scrutinized gaze. “And why are you asking this?” Antonio gave him a tight-lipped smile. “Curious, Godson. I am just curious to know when
“Where are you going?” Evan asked Helena as He watched her walking out of the room, dressing up in casual attire. She turned to him. “To drop Liam to school. It's been three days since he has been going to school without me,” She answered. Last night, she didn't know when He came into the room. She waited for him till late but eventually fell asleep. Laying alone in his bed, she felt bizarre. His bed smelled of his masculine scent, which absorbed into her body too. She was kind of missing his presence in the room. Helena was shocked with her thoughts, after what He said to her She couldn't stop herself from thinking about him. It felt relaxing when she found him in the room in the morning, dressed up in his blue business suit and reading a newspaper with those specs hiding his ocean blue eyes. He looked so alluring and attractive to her. The sight of him made her giddy. But Helena greeted him with a good morning when He caught her peeking and headed to shower immediately to hide h
Helena watched the stretched-out hand of Antonio with questioning eyes. “I am your would-be god father-in-law, you should not hesitate while holding my hand, Helena.” She gave him a small hesitant smile before placing her hand on his. “You are going to marry my godson. You must not be uncomfortable in my company. Especially when we go in front of the media. We are a family, Helena.” Evan said the almost same words to her when He took her to the charity event. But her alert mind looked at everything doubtfully. “Family,” She tested the word on her tongue. For the last seven years, her family included only Liam and Isabel. And today, she was hearing about new additions to her family. “It will take some time for me to be comfortable around you, Antonio.” Antonio nodded in understanding. “Be confident when you talk to the voters. These people are important to us. If we succeed in showing how concerned we are for these women and their children’s future, No one could stop me from winni
Helena for a moment froze hearing the question thrown at her. But then her protective side came out and she composed herself. The words Antonio filled her mind with before coming here, reminded her purpose. “The comunità behind you has many struggling single mothers with their kids. They need better medical facilities. Let's focus on the serious issues going around in the city and not some gossip about my son and me,’ She answered with a firm smile. After that they didn't shoot her any personal questions. 'Thank you,” She said, turning around and Antonio nodded at the media personnel and followed Helena to the car. The media still kept asking other questions but Antonio's guards blocked their ways and stopped them from getting near the car.Once seated in the car, Helena closed her eyes and rested her head against the headrest. The inquiry about Liam's father kept buzzing in her ears and her body turned tight with tension. She didn’t know how to deal with this bottled-up anger. How
Helena didn't know how to react to his proposition. She opened her mouth but words didn't come out. Life with him? Was He asking her to be his wife for life? She couldn't imagine how life would be with him. She just couldn't! This man was more chaotic than her imagination. Evan searched her eyes, the puzzlement in her gaze, and the tension in her body made him chuckle. “Don't think too much about anything. You sought my protection, now do not interfere in my ways, Helena. I don't like it when someone questions my decisions, remember this for the future too. Our lives would be peaceful and happy.”“I can't,” Helena closed her eyes and said sternly. Opening her eyes and setting them on him, she moved to get out of his hold but He didn't let her. Helena sighed. This man was toxic to her sanity. “I am not a slave of yours, Evan. If you want a peaceful future with me as long as we are together, learn to live with questions because I will not stop asking them.”Evan's eyebrows perked up.
“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
