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
“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
