“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
Helena’s eyes widened, and her heart stopped beating for a moment when Evan placed his cold lips onto her mouth and stopped. Suddenly she felt dizzy as the world around her started to fade, her body turned numb in his firm hold. Is it real? Was He kissing her? But her doubt cleared away when Evan secured her in his arms before moving his lips slowly yet sensually to ignite the equal fire inside her system as He was feeling right that moment.The burning fire in him wanted to spread its flame to its cause. Her! She dared to mess with his mind and escaped after that. Evan needed to show who was in charge of her life now. He needed to show she couldn't escape his world. Never! Helena gasped with the wet touch of his lips on her. Unknowingly, she closed her eyes in shock as He kept kissing her sensually, stealing her gasps. She wanted to push him away but her body didn't allow her. Why? “Fuck, Leonessa!” A moan escaped her lips when He cursed and started torturing her sweet full lip
“Liam…” Helena called him urgently, her eyes curled at the corner as she got up and tried to run after her son but Evan grabbed her arm, stopping her. “Don’t. Let me see him.” Before Helena could react, Evan walked out, hurrying after her son while she kept staring at the place with a numb mind. After a minute, Helena let out a deep breath and raked her both hands on her tired face leaning back on the door. She couldn't comprehend what just happened. Why? Why does she lose her senses and turn into a submissive mode to this man’s whims whenever He gets close to her. Frustratingly, she touched her swollen lips and tears perked in the corner of her eyes. “You are a fool, Helena! A bloody fool to repeat the same mistake again and again.” She sniffed. She promised herself that she wouldn't allow Evan to come near her again but she couldn't keep her own words. But How could she when she precisely kne
“Cancel all my meetings for today. I have an out arrangement,” Evan informed his fiancèe. Helena, who was filing the papers in the file, looked up at him. “Where are you going, if I may ask?” she asked, fixing him with a pointed gaze. Evan's eyebrows perked up at her demanding tone. He relaxed on his chair and leaned back while playing with the pen in his fingers. “Are you asking me this as my assistant or my fiancèe?” He questioned. Helena clicked her tongue and chided herself for losing her composure in front of him yet again. But somehow she played smartly. “As your secretary, of course, Mr Hemsworth. And you stop calling me your fiancèe. How many times do I need to remind you, Mr Hemsworth? We are…” Evan got to his feet. “No need to waste your breath on words, Leonessa. I know what you are going to say,” He said with a soft chuckle. “Anyway, you do as I say, I have a lunch date set with Vienna.” Helena blinked. The sheer audacity of this man! He was telling her t
Helena was shocked! She was in such an astonishing state that she couldn't react when Elijah grabbed her hand on the table. "I can't change what I did. I can't change our past. I regret it and I hate it, Helly but I want you back. I want our son to have both his mother and father, Helena. Let's give Liam what we couldn't give to our other son. Come back to me, I swear I will spend my whole life trying to make up for the sin I did." Helena looked up at him and blinked blankly. Her hand was still under his hold while her mind still buzzing with what he told her. She swallowed her saliva which got stuck with a tight lump in her throat. “Victoria and her mother? My family and your Father planned that attack on me?" She asked in a voice she didn't know was her own, Helena was that stunned. Elijah sighed. "Yes. They were. I..." “My father? Was he aware of this or not?" She didn't give him the chance to speak. Her father! The greedy bastard. Elijah was pleased that she was somewhat b
“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
