“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
Helena took a deep breath as she stared at her pathetic self in the mirror. She didn't understand what mind game Evan was playing with her which was ruining her mental peace now. She signed for a different future with Him than what Evan was giving her hints of. Ten months vs a lifetime. Helena didn't know if it was true or just her illusion.His possessive words, his intimate gestures, his obvious desire for her, everything was making her vulnerable in her stance. The fact that she was feeling something for this man when she decided to never walk on the path of love again was scaring her now. Helena was also aware of the acute pain of betrayal and she feared the path her heart longed for her to walk on, No! She wouldn't dare to follow her heart again. Moreover, Evan and her world were very different. They can never be joined together. So she wouldn’t dare to think otherwise, She was sure that Evan was just protective of her, so she wouldn't take these feelings seriously which He im
Helena stared at the dilapidated building in front of her through the window of her car. A deep frown creased on her forehead to see the condition of the building. Evan brought her to such a ruined place after dressing her like a queen? she thought looking at her long silk black dress the cost of which was enough to repair the whole building. “Evan, what is this place?” Helena finally worded her shock to her fiance who was busy typing something on his phone. “My empire,” He answered, raising his eyes at her. Helena blinked. “This?” She motioned towards the building with her finger. “...is your empire?” Evan pushed his phone onto his pocket and gave Helena his full attention. “This is my shady world, Helena. It is as ugly and dangerous as this shattered building. Darkness is synonymous with my business but it's grand. And soon you are going to witness this grandness.” Helena gulped and kept gazing at him. Now she was more apprehensive imagining what interaction she was goin
“Finally, I am here,” Vienna cheered excitedly as she entered the guestroom of Evan's house. Her brother and his wife were talking to their friends in the living room while Vienna headed towards the room assigned for her. “Soon, I will be here permanently,” she thought dreamily before sitting on the soft bed and touching the silk bed sheet under her fingertips. A giddy smile appeared on her lips, imagining Evan with her, in the bed. But her thoughts were soon interrupted by a knock on the door. She turned her head and found her brother standing at the door with Evan. “Evan…” She got to her feet and walked towards them. Viso and Evan met her halfway. “Is this room as per your liking, Vienna?” Evan asked with a smile. But Viso again grabbed his sister’s attention. “Are you sure you want to stay? You can still change your mind, doll,” Viso nodded at her, his protectiveness towards his sister was making it difficult for him to accept her decision of staying away from her. “Ye
“Happy birthday Matteo,” Viso's four year old daughter wished her friend with a shy smile as she handed him the toy gun she brought as a birthday present for him.Matteo smiled at Rosa, his friend while taking the birthday present from her. “Thank you, Rosa.” Helena smiled over her son's manners. She was a proud mother of two handsome and chivalrous sons. Liam and Matteo. Isabel kissed Matteo's head. “How happy are you, Matteo? It's your fourth birthday.” she asked, pulling his cheek, while her friend handed her a glass of mocktail.“I am very happy, Isa, because you and Rosa came. She looks very pretty,’ He whispered, his cheeks turned pink as he blushed. Rosa too looked down shyly.The two friends exchanged a look and chuckled silently. Matteo turned to his mother. “Mom. I want to marry Rosa once I grow up.”Helena’s smile ceased as she froze and Isabel choked on her drink. She snapped her eyes to Matteo and Rosa. Isabel looked at her friend. “Don't you think your son is demandin
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
