“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
Evan's eyes burned with fierce intensity as He noticed Giampaolo's tight grip on Helena's hand. Angrily, with a sudden burst of strength He freed Helena's hand from that old bastard’s hold. Helena's eyes welled with happy tears. “Evan…” a choked sob left her throat as she eyed her very much alive fiance. But she stiffened in horror when she noticed the small bandage on his forehead. She understood that something bad had happened to him. Nancy, Giovanni and Giampaolo’s taunts buzzed in her ears. She almost raised her hand to check him but Evan's icy gaze stopped her. The tears in her eyes infuriated him. “A lioness never shed her tears over rumours, Helena. Never!” He told her in a gentle tone but his eyes held anger and warning for her which didn't go unnoticed by Helena. She gulped down her emotions and He understood she made a mistake by showing them her fear. “Evan I…” “Why don't you go to your friend Isabel and Vienna, Love. And Let me have a talk with Mr Moretti and Mr R
Giampaolo’s eyes widened in horror as Evan's words hung in the air like a thick guillotine blade. He never thought the problem he thought he ended would once again came and stand in front of him like a deadly disease. Giovanni Rossi forgot to blink, he was dumbfounded to see the past of his wife’s standing in front of him. He made sure the child didn't survive but he did. Evan's eyes glinted in satisfaction to see the men standing startled in front of him. His mind is reeled with various implications right now. What would happen if Nancy Rossi found out about it? Evan moved and got into Giampaolo’s face. His icy blue eyes bore into Giampaolo's dark soul, “You see Grandpa, a long ago, I started a game with you years ago. The game of survival. You wanted to end my life, but you failed. And now it's my turn,” He gritted out in venom lacing his words. Giampaolo stiffened. The malice in Evan's tone and hatred in his eyes illustrated him that Evan was after him, after his life. “S
Vienna couldn't stand Helena when she walked up to her and Isabel. Her sister-in-law was happy with her friend's company as she took her aside to talk. Her brother kept her company but he too was busy with talking to some important businessmen there. She was fine with that, because Vienna's eyes were searching for someone too. Nancy Rossi! The woman came to Evan's house to warn Helena. Now she was going to help Vienna get Evan somehow. Her search finally ended when she found Nancy heading towards the restrooms and she excused herself from her brother, Making sure that they couldn't find her talking to Nancy. “Nancy Rossi, Can we talk?” Vienna asked as soon as she caught her near a silent corner in front of the washroom. Nancy turned her head to the new face. “Sorry, I don't recognize you…” Nancy said with a frown as she tried to recall Vienna but couldn't. Vienna smiled. “I am a well-wisher of your son.” Nancy’s eyes narrowed at the corners. There was a hint of something mor
“Evan…”“Silence!” He snapped, interrupting whatever she was about to say. Evan showed her a finger in warning. “Silence, Helena,” his eyes were exactly like smouldering coals. Today, Evan couldn't hold his burning anger on her. “You will not say a word as long as I speak. I ask you something! So Remain silent and listen.”Helena blinked at him in apprehension as He continued, “You are Evan Conan Hemsworth’s fiancèe. You know what it means!” His commanding, dominating voice thundered around the room making Helena jolt in fear. Today, Evan looked different to her. Someone scary and Beastly. “Answer me damn it!” He sneered again in that same roaring voice. Helena instinctively stepped back from him but He swiftly advanced towards her. “Tell me, dear Fiancèe?” She was fearing him at that moment as she stepped backward again. With every step Helena took back, Evan took forward towards her. This kept going until Helena’s back hit the wall. Evan placed his hands on both sides of the wa
“Hey Liam. How is your school going?” Vienna asked Liam while buttering her bread. “School is going good,” Liam answered as he continued peeling his egg for breakfast. His mother was late for breakfast today. Neither she or Evan was at the breakfast table. Even Antonio was not there today. He wanted to go and call his mother but Vienna stopped him by saying it's not wise to disturb them early in the morning. Antonio also said the same thing to him once so he agreed. Vienna asked Jenny for breakfast and they both were now sitting at the breakfast table together. Vienna smiled. “Hmm. Just good? I thought you would say your school is rocking. Now that you have Evan as your Dad.”Liam’s hand on the egg stopped and he looked at Vienna. “Dad? He is not my dad.”Vienna smiled sweetly. Too sweetly, “Why, he is marrying your mother. After marrying her, he will be your Dad. You can still call him that if he allows you,” Vienna said, placing the slice of bread on her plate and taking the hal
Evan reached the said meeting place an hour later. He stopped to check some of his ports where his men caught a drug consignment of Cosa Nostra. Good job done by his men. Now He would see what the Don had to say to him. “I hope I didn't make you wait too long, Mr Knight,” Evan said, his voice firm and deep while his eyes were vigilant and cold as He eyed Aaron with his brother cum consigliere Asher Salvatore Knight. Aaron raised his grey eyes to him, “Just an hour,” He said while getting to his feet and gesturing to Evan to take a seat with the beckon of his hand. Asher and Richard nodded at each other as they both remained standing behind their Capo’s.“You are blessed that I am here to talk and not kill, Mr Hemsworth. Had I been here for a later motive, you would have been ten feet under the ground by now.” Aaron simply voiced out. Evan chuckled, leaning back on his chair. “The man who could send Evan Conan Hemsworth ten feet under the ground has not been born yet, Mr knight. You
Helena was setting Evan's schedule for tomorrow when her cell phone blinked and an unknown number flashed on screen. She wondered if it was anyone from the Rossi family. Taking a deep breath she accepted the call. “Hello. Who is it?”“Your father. Arom Gelati,” Helena paused, for a moment she couldn't believe her father called her. Her eyes narrowed to slits as she recalled this man was also involved in killing her.“I do not remember having a father, Mr Gelati. You have dialled the wrong number,” She said and was about to end the call but Arom was fast. “Don't, Helana. Don't end the call. You do not know how much effort it took me to call you, my doll.”Helena closed her eyes tightly hearing the endearment her mother used to call her. Doll. Her doll. “Don't you dare call me that. Only my mother had the right to call me by this name!”“I am your father, Helena. I hold the same right over you. I know you are angry with me for not taking a stand for you seven years ago. But you must un
