Instinctively, Helena took a step back as fear clutched her senses. Everything she went through in the last seven years passed through her memory lane. The pain, the fear, the struggle, the humiliation and not to mention the baby she lost. They killed her baby and they did all this to snatch her mother’s land from her. “You?” Giovanni Rossi’s eyes hardened, recognizing the girl standing in front of him. Although she had plastered thick makeup on her face, and her body too grew like a woman now, nothing could be hidden away from Giovanni’s sharp eyes.“Helena, is that you?” He asked in a grave tone. She averted her gaze from him, not responding as her legs turned weak suddenly. Was Evan really connected to Rossi? Giovanni eyed her from head to toe. She was supposed to be dead so how come! Helena was wearing an ugly attire worn by waitresses here. “What are you doing here?”Elijah told him that she was dead. But she was clearly not and this could be a problem for Giovanni as this girl
Helena shook her head. “No. We can talk here, out of the car if you want but I am…” Before she could even finish or react Gevin pushed her inside the car and closed the door. “Open this door right now, Mr Rossi or I will scream.” She screeched, hitting the window. “Shut up and sit silently. This is not Evan’s office and he is not here to protect you!” Giovanni hissed. “It won't take me a minute to finish your life, Helena.”“Mr Rossi.” She tried to act brave.Giovanni nodded curtly. She had something he wanted and he was going to take it from her anyhow. When he asked one of his spies to find more about Helena, he was expecting her to be in a relationship with Evan but to his shock this woman was living with a kid, her child. Giovanni’s heir. His blood! His grandson! Giovanni was jolted at the news. But it was something that peaked his interest. “Now listen to me clearly, Helena. You have something I want. And from the past experiences you must know to what level I can go to take
“She has a child, Boss.” Evan who had his eyes closed, gripped the marker in his hand hard and his body went rigid hearing Richard’s reluctant words. “A child?” He demanded in a sharp tone before opening his eyes and throwing a cold gaze to Richard who gave Evan a nod before placing the file in front of him. Evan snapped his eyes to the file and was stunned to read that she lives with a six years old kid. “And surprisingly she is friends with Isabel Ruiz.” Isabel, his best buddy’s wife! Evan looked at her pictures with her son and one of them was from his friend’s marriage which Evan attended but only for an hour. Damn his life! So He couldn't see her there! Evan silently clenched his jaws reading this new piece of information about the woman who turned his nights sleepless for the last seven years. And a child! He didn't understand how to digest this news. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, the woman once again brought restlessness in him and Evan didn't know how
Evan Conan Hemsworth leaned back in his chair and watched Helena with his cold blue eyes assertively. He was still dealing with the shocking information that Helena was a mother of a six-year-old kid! What the fuck had happened during these seven years and who was the bastard of her child? He will surely dig into this later! “Three minutes of your time are already finished, Miss Perez. Did you ask for this meeting to sit in my office like a statue or are you going to say something?” Evan finally asked, his voice deep and authoritative. Helena snatched her eyes from her hands and looked up at Him. She was in deep thoughts of how to ask for his help. Should she start straight away? But time was limited and she couldn't waste it in thinking how to fill him with her situation. “I am sorry, I was thinking, Mr Hemsworth,” She said, her voice breathy as she spoke. Evan squinted his eyes while tapping on the desk thrice with his finger. “You must have done that before coming here, Miss P
“Marry you?” Helena whispered as she was still in a haze over the situation. “But why do you want to marry me?” She asked, Helena was stunned by his absurd demand. Why would the powerful billionaire ask such a thing from her? Evan’s lips stretched as He gave her an estranged smile before leaning back. “You don't have to bother with it, Miss Perez. All you have to do is agree to be my wife and I promise you that no one will be able to glance at you in a wrong manner let alone hurting you and your son will forever be yours.” Helena kept staring at him for a long minute before words finally found her voice. “I want to know why, Mr Hemsworth. What will you get by marrying me? I am nobody.” Evan’s eyes sparkled for a moment, He gazed over her beautiful features. “You will be known as Mrs Evan Conan Hemsworth after marrying me. Is there any better protection for you than wearing my name behind yours as armour, Miss Perez?” He asked, setting his eyes on hers. Helena still looked at h
For a moment, Even couldn't look away from her. Her demand showed him her character. She was a woman who valued her son’s comfort more than her life. Evan was somewhere impressed by her smartness and courage and couldn't wait to see how deep this boldness goes within her. It gave him a thrilling and intriguing kick, at least Helena was nothing like the woman who did the opposite in his past. “A contract marriage,” He said looking straight into her eyes. “But why six months?” He asked even though He guessed it. “I believe the elections are coming after five months, Mr Hemsworth. And I believe you could help me get my revenge on Rossi during these months. So a six-month contract would be fine for us.” Helena shrugged her shoulders, saying a matter of fact. Evan twisted his lips and scratched his trimmed beard in thought. Wasn't she too smart for his likeness? But Helena didn't know whom she was conversing her ideas with. His thought process would start where her ideas would end.
Helena chose to ignore the call from Elijah Rossi. She had no wish to hear his ugly voice. However, this call reminded her that she had no time to waste anymore. She needed to be with Evan immediately. But her cell buzzed again. This time with a message from Elijah Rossi. Suppressing her tension, Helena tapped on the notification icon and her face contorted into fury, seeing the content of the message. Tick. Tick. Tick. Your time is almost over, Helly baby. Come to me with my son or… He left the message hanging but it was clear that he was threatening her. Helena’s eyes flashed angrily recalling her brutal car accident and she clutched her phone in her hand tightly. “I will come to you, Elijah but not to hand over my son. I will come to take your life!” She gritted out staring at her phone. It was time they all paid the prices of her losses. Long gone was the naive Helena. “Mom?” Liam’s voice pulled her out of vengeful thoughts and she composed herself before smiling at
Evan poured himself another drink while focussing his mind to his goal. He had to win this election at any cost or everything He planned would be burnt to the ground like it did years ago. Giovanni Rossi’s political power was the only thing that kept saving him every time Evan tried to harm him. Money and outlawing means are always a step behind when it comes to legitimate backing. Evan decided to snatch Giovanni’s only strength, his political designation. Of course, him being the lawmaker, was going to be beneficial for his business and mafia both. It was a win-win on both hands. But that win was not in his hands, it was in the hands of people. He had to win their so-called hearts somehow to gain that political power but not Like Rossi did. He had different ways to rule in the hearts of people with respect and fear. “Mr Antonio has been calling from the last hour.” Richard’s voice broke the intense chain of thoughts Evan was building. He raised his eyes at his right hand man.
“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
