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.
“Ah, My eyes are delighted to see your beauty tonight,” Rita Galati said with a huge bright smile to her face as she looked at her daughter proudly. Victoria Rossi looked beautiful in her silk red backless dress. “Mom, last time Evan didn't pay attention to me. Do you think he would be attracted to me today?” Rita smiled. “Of course he will. The silk dress looks beautiful on you. I am sure Evan will forget Helena seeing your beauty.” “But Mom…” Rita shook her head, stopping her daughter from worrying unnecessarily. “Some men are hard to get but that's where the fun lies, honey. Evan is hard to get but he could give you the world. It's okay to run after a man until he is trapped in your web. Afterward, you must treat him like your pet dog,” Rita advised her daughter whose eyes gleamed excitedly. “I will make sure that I leave an unforgettable impression on Evan tonight.” Rita looked at her daughter proudly. “Just don't lose Hope, Victoria and soon Evan's child will be in your
“Evan?” Helena whispered, stunned. She,once again, was short of words by his behavior. He always proposed things that left her speechless and why not? They were not some ordinary proposals! “Enough publicity for today, let's go inside,” He said with a smile to the media, ignoring her questioning eyes. Evan left her hand before circling her thin waist and He pulled her to him. Helena’s body hit his hard one but she quickly regained her composure and played the role of Evan's beloved. She raised her chin and started walking confidently beside her Fiance while throwing a gorgeous smile at the cameras. Their newly announced relationship plus the hype the media was creating about them, made guests turn their heads toward them as they were passing through the straight lane. Seeing The enigmatic beauty beside the country’s famous Billionaire, people were curious to know how she managed to stir the heart of the most eligible bachelor in Italy like Evan Conon Hemsworth as He is rarely se
“He is not your son!” Giovanni hissed in a low voice. His eyes blazed in anger, “He is my grandson. Elijah's son. Rossi’s blood!” The frustration and anger in Giovanni's face gave Evan a sick satisfaction as He smirked. “Really? Do you have any evidence?” Evan asked in a mocking tone which burned Giovanni's insides. He nodded with determination and stated. “I will have it. Soon, the world will know who Liam is!” Evan gave him a nod but didn't reply. Giovanni kept glaring at him in anger, forgetting where he was standing. But one question kept poking his mind. “Why are you doing this?” Giovanni demanded. “Do you have a personal rivalry against my son that you are getting involved in?” Evan smiled at him bitterly and his eyes, for a moment, went to Helena and Giovanni's wife, Nancy. His chest tightened at the sight as acute anger ran through his body. He turned his attention back to Giovanni. “Not only against your son, Giovanni, not only him!” He said in a low and cold voice
“Excuse me, Mrs Rossi,’ Evan said, grabbing Helena's hand and walking her gracefully from there. He headed towards the garden area for some privacy with his fiancèe, still maintaining the mask of civility towards the guests on the way. Helena's heart was racing wildly in her chest while her mind kept buzzing Evan's words that He said to Nancy Rossi. My would-be wife and my son!The words were melodious to Helena's ear. Her own father discarded her and her unborn son. Her ex-fiance tried to kill her and their babies. He even succeeded in killing one. The people whom she considered hers, wounded her and here, the man she had no relationship with was fighting for her.“You will not leave my side for a single second anymore, Helena, otherwise only me and god knows what will happen to the next person who speaks against you!” He said, tightening his hold on her arm and pulling her to him. Helena winced, feeling the pain shot through her sensitive skin by his tight grip on her arm. “Evan,
“How are you, Vienna?” Evan asked Viso’s sister, pulling away from their hug and kissing her head softly in affection. Vienna beamed at his gesture. “I am super fine and excited to be with you for a whole month. We will go on the long drive we couldn't go last time. Won't we?” She asked, excitedly as she held onto his arm with a wide smile. Helena’s heart constricted seeing the scene as her eyes zoomed over Vienna's touch on Evan, stupidly.Evan shared a look with Viso seeking permission who was too protective of Veinna’s happiness and safety. It was only when his friend nodded in agreement, He accepted Veinna's request. “Fine. We will go on a long drive, doll,” He said smiling and attempting to pull away from her hold. “What happened?” She asked, tightening her hold on his arm. Evan sighed and shook his head. He knew how stubborn she was. “Nothing,” He muttered and let her hold his arm. His gaze shifted his attention to his friend cum brother, Viso D’Angelo. “Kelvin is being diff
“Mom, who is that girl with Evan?” Victoria asked her mother bitterly as she watched a girl clinging to her future husband. “I do not know. But we must find out. Is she his sister?” Rita mused, looking at how comfortable Evan was with Vienna. “Evan has no family. I searched the internet for hours to find out his full background and about his family. There is no family. No one except for Helena and Liam.” Victoria said, looking closely at the girl who looked younger than her. Rita darted her sharp eyes at the people beside Evan closely. “Victoria, Isn't he Viso D’Angelo? The business tycoon from Florence.” Victoria gave her mother a look of incredulity. “Mom, I am worried about that girl and you are staring at Viso D’Angelo. Leave him, he is already married to Isabel Ruiz…” “Victoria.” Nancy Rossi’s voice interrupted Victoria and she ate her words. “Yes, Mom?” Turning around she acted like the perfect daughter-in-law. “Come, we are leaving right now,” Nancy said and Vic
