“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
Helena turned still in his arms. There was nothing to tell him, not that she was obliged to disclose every little thing of her life to him, so she kept mum. Her deliberate silence doubled Evan’s fury as He grabbed her left hand, raised it up, and pressed her ring finger. “Did you forget that we are engaged? Still you went to see another man! To be precise, your Ex! What right do you have to spoil my name like this in public, Helena?” Helena winced slightly, feeling a sharp pain where He pinched her finger. “Evan, You are hurting me,” She hissed, trying to pull her hand back from his grip. The gesture sent alarm bells to his mind and He tightened his hold on her hand not caring about the pain He was causing her. “How dare you go to meet your ex lover alone? Are you thinking about going back to him, Hmm? Have you started believing in his fucked up fake love again!” Helena’s eyes went wide hearing the accusation in his voice. With painful features she tried to release her hand. “E
“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
