“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
“Did you not hear what I said?” Evan asked, crossing his arms across his chest when his secretary cum fiancèe kept ignoring him throughout the day in office. Helena placed the file He asked for on his table and turned to leave without giving him a glance. But Evan clasped her arm and pulled her to him, making her gasp in surprise. “Did you lose your voice, Mia Leonessa, or your hearing ability?” He asked, raising her chin and meeting her eyes. Helena jerked her face back from his hold. “Nothing. I just do not wish to talk to you,” she curtly answered, not keeping her anger out of her voice. Evan’s eyes darkened at her answer. Her boldness, her angry face and her attitude gave him a boner. However, He controlled his body’s reaction and asked, “Where are we standing, Love?”She gave him a frowned look. “What do you mean?”“Where are we standing? It's not that hard of a question, is it?” Evan asked again, his eyes boring into hers. He was enjoying her dilemma, her struggle to act str
Helena ignored the phone which kept disturbing her throughout the way to school. Her mind was filled with images of Vienna and Evan together. She tried but couldn't stop herself from thinking about them. The images of them pained her like a splinter to heart. She needed distance from these images. Helena wanted everything to be fine. All these problems with Rossis to be over soon so that she could take her son with her and leave everything behind for a peaceful life. But peace was not supposed to be there for her. Even her ringing phone didn't let her think in peace! Exhausted and angrily, she accepted the call without bothering to look at the caller ID.“What do you want?” She snapped at whoever called her not caring about the insolence. “You and my son,” Came an immediate reply and Helena stiffened hearing the voice of the man who ruined her belief in love and Happiness. “I want you both. I want my family, Helly.”Fury ran through her body hearing his selfish wish. “Have this hap
“When I told Viso that I want to do my designing course in Milan, he denied. But I was adamant. I told him it's either Milan or I am quitting my career,” Vienna said with a proud smile to her face. “He agreed. You know when Vienna D’Angelo wants something, she gets it. She learned how to get something she wants.”Evan gave her a tight-lipped smile. But his thoughts were still fixed on Helena. He wanted to ask her about her stiff mood. How come, she changed overnight. Evan knew something was bothering her. And He needed to find out. “If you are finished with your lunch, shall we leave?” He asked Vienna and the smile on her face faltered. “Why? Don't you want to be with me?” She asked with narrowed eyes. “Or are you missing Helena?” a fake teasing into her tone and soft smile maintained on her face even though she was burning inside. “I get it, your fiancèe is more important to you than your friend you rarely meet.” Vienna rolled her eyes, pouting. Evan squinted his eyes slowly at h
