“How is it going between you and Evan?’ Isabel asked her friend once they were alone in the guest room. “You are not happy with Vienna staying here, right?” She asked, looking into Helena's eyes who looked away from her friend‘s demanding gaze. She took a deep breath to gain strength so that she could lie to Isabel. She turned her face back to her, “Why would it bother me, Vienna is your sister-in-law and I know Evan and Viso are both like us. Best friends. As Vienna said she is a good friend of Evan and…”“And I am not interested in what everyone else thinks. I am interested in what you think. I care about you more than anything else. I saw your fears, Leena. So don't lie to me. I will talk to Viso and take Vienna with me today. She can do her course in Florence.”“Isa, No. Don't!” She stopped her from doing anything like this. “They are just friends. I can’t judge Evan with the same scale as Elijah. Evan is loyal,” the last part was spoken in an unbalanced whisper showcasing her co
“Isabel, What are you doing here? Where is Viso?” Vienna asked, a little alarmed when she found her sister-in-law walking into her room. “He is with Evan and Antonio. I wanted to meet you before leaving.” Isabel said with a small smile. Vienna got to her feet and nodded, smiling. “Yes.”Isabel placed her hand on Vienna's shoulder and patted it lightly. “I know how sensitive you are. Your brother never fails to mention it every now and then but don't let your sensitivity affect others, Vienna. You must understand that people get affected by it too.”Vienna's eyes narrowed at her sister-in-law. She could sense an oddness in her words. Unlike her brother, Vienna had no issues in understanding the hidden jabs laced in sweet words. “Are you trying to tell me something, Isabel?”She smiled. “I know you are smart enough to understand it. Viso is worried about you for nothing. You see Vienna, Helena and Evan are newly engaged, they want to spend time together. So You must not act like a thi
Victoria's eyes were only settled on Evan. Her heart was beating in excitement, imagining herself in Evan's house and standing this close to him. She couldn't wait to come here and enjoy her life with Evan. But for that she needed to come into his vision. She needed to show him how good she was. She moved and placed her hand on her mother-in-law’s arm. “Nancy, please don't. Come, father-in-law will not be happy. Let's go back…”“Leave me!” Nancy snatched her arm away and once again fixed Evan with a look. "Listen to me!" She snarled, pointing a finger at him, all her motherly love and affection for her injured son making her angry over the top. "You sent my son to hospital! I will make sure you too have a trip there soon!"Evan's eyebrows perked up at her warning. "I will make you suffer the fires of hell. And remember, if you ever glance at my son again I will kill you.""Nancy, your blood pressure...""Shut up!" Nancy snapped at her daughter-in-law. Evan looked at the scene in fro
“Nancy, what are you doing here?” Nancy Rossi was sprinting to get out of Evan’s penthouse as fast as she could after her explosive vent out when she heard Helena’s shocked voice. Helena was stunned to see Elijah Rossi's mother walking in Evan's house. But what stunned her even more was her enraged features. She never saw Nancy this angry. Helena wondered what could be the reason. Then she recalled the conversation they had in that retirement party of some politician. Is she here to talk about Liam? To meet him? That could be the reason, “Nancy, if you are here to talk about my son then I told you my decision clearly that day. I…” “No, Helena, I am not here to talk about your son but mine!” Nancy snapped, interrupting her. “My son whom your fiance sent to hospital.” What? Helena blinked at her with numb eyes. Evan sent Elijah Hospital? “Nancy, I think you have some misunderstanding. Why would Evan do that? Elijah must have done something to…” “Enough, Helena!” Nancy sn
“Where have you been?” Giampaolo asked his daughter when she returned to the hospital with a sour face. Giovanni too looked at his wife with a narrowed gaze. “I thought you were here. None of your bodyguards knew about your whereabouts. Do you have any idea how stressed we are? Our son was attacked, Nancy. I do not want anything to happen to you.”“I went to meet the person responsible for my son's condition,” She snarled silently. “I went to meet the bastard who put Elijah here!”Giampaolo stiffened while Giovanni's gaze turned sharp. “Why? And who told you about him?”Nancy gave her husband a bristling look. “It doesn't matter who told me about Evan Conan Hemsworth. All that mattered to me is that I want him in the same condition he put our son into. Also, I want my grandson Liam with us. I do not care what you do and what not but I want him, Gio.”Both Giampaolo and Giovanni shared a look. They couldn't believe Nancy was saying this to them, it was she because of whom they were co
When Evan entered his bedroom He was sure something was amiss. The energy of the room was too tight and tense. His eyebrows frowned deeply as He wondered what could be wrong? The sound of someone pacing in his balcony caught his attention. He knew the person was none other than his fiancèe. His Leonessa. Immediately, He strode to the balcony, and at the same moment Helena bumped into him while turning. She stumbled on her steps and squealed, closing her eyes and imagining the fall. However, two strong arms pulled her firmly against his body. “I'm sorry!” “You don't have to watch your steps with me around you, Leonessa. I will do it for you and I won't let you fall ever,” He whispered near her ear, earning a deep sigh.The fear and anxiety she was trying to evade crashed her heart and she couldn't hold the sob in her throat. His words were tricking her mind. His actions and the liberties He was taking with her were literally fucking her entire being. He was a beautiful dream she wa
Evan's ears kept buzzing with Helena's words as He drove aimlessly on the deserted road. The darkness outside the car matched the darkness inside him as Helena's words about Nancy being the wounded mother like Her got printed in his mind. How could she compare herself with that selfish bitch? But It's not about Helena but that Nancy Rossi! That damn bitch came to warn Him for her son. Her bastard son! What about Him? What about Evan whose mother she snatched. He was left alone at a tender age in this world without a father and mother, alone. Fucking alone! He recalled Countless nights and days He spent wishing for his parents to return to him. But They didn't. All because of Them! Evan was so close to that bitch today, He could have snapped her neck in a moment. He could have taken his revenge on her. But He controlled himself from acting on his urges. As He promised to Helena, their deaths were not going to be easy. They all were going to suffer the pain and losses of
“Any call from him?” Antonio whispered to Helena while keeping his smile intact on his face. This was Lomabary’s biggest philanthropist society. It organises a charity event every time before the elections. However the reality of these charity events was as dark as the moonless sky at night. These events were used for lobbying. Helena smiled, her gaze like Antonio darted around the grand ballroom before shifting back to Antonio. “No, I tried to contact him many times but his phone is off,” she answered over the dim of conversation making sure her voice remained audible to Antonio only. Antonio let out an exasperated sigh. “He never acted like this before. Didn't he know how important this event is for us? Italy's most influential men are here and my godson is missing! I have called him approximately a hundred times since last night.” Helena remained silent. She didn't know what to say,it's not like she was his real fiancèe, He didn't tell her anything about his whereabouts aft
