“Elijah heard our conversation,” Nancy Rossi informed Vienna who looked at her with a ‘How is it my business’ kind of look.“Alright, what did he say then?” She asked with a small smile. Nancy Rossi gave her a taut look. This girl was being too sweet to her taste. “Vienna, what are you after in this deal? Tell me. Because I am struggling to trust you here.”Vienna could see the doubts still running freely in Nancy’s mind. And she had to clear it away for her support. “I will get what your son will get out of this deal Nancy.”Nancy's eyes turned sharp and her frown deepened. So Vienna explained to her further to win her trust. “I will get the love of my life just like your son will get his. I love Evan just like your son loves Helena. You see, she disturbed all of our lives by entering Evan’s life. I want her out of his life so that I can be with him. That's why I want to help you and him.”Nancy sat stunned hearing her. So that's the reason she wanted to help them. ‘It seems like Lo
“You met her? What did she say?” Elijah asked his mother eagerly when she returned to the hospital after meeting Vienna D’Angelo. “I will tell you but why are you getting dressed? You need to rest , Elijah, who allowed you to get out of this bed?”she panicked to see her son dressed in his office wear. It was clear someone helped him dress up, his hand injury wouldn't allow him to put on his clothes on his own. “I got help from the nurse, mom. I am tired of resting. I want to meet Helena and my son.” He responded frustratingly. Nancy inhaled sharply. This desire to be with Liam and Helena was slowly turning into an obsession for him. And Nancy knew how dangerous obsession could be if turned lethal. “And you will, Elijah but you can't ignore your health because of it right?” She scolded her son who rolled his eyes in irritation. “Mom? What did you say to Vienna? What did you both talk about, tell me that?”“I will tell you that but first please don't get too excited. It's not good f
“Why the long face, Grandson?” Antonio asked his grandson Liam when he found him sitting sadly on the stairs. Liam looked at him for a moment only to snatch his eyes back again. Antonio understood something was wrong with the child. Something was eating him up, he sat beside him and started talking to distract Liam from whatever he was thinking. “You know when Evan was a child, he used to sit like this. Exactly like you are sitting. Sad and lost.”Liam blinked and he looked at Antonio. Some of the lost spark was back in his eyes. “Why was he sad?” “Why are you sad, Liam?” Antonio asked tricking him but Liam narrowed his eyes at the old man. “I asked you first.”Antonio chuckled. He hated Giampaolo Moretti but damn his authoritative genes. They travelled from him to his daughter and from her to Her children and now to her grandson. “Yes you did, my bad,” Antonio said. “Evan used to be sad because he misses his parents.”Liam's eyes widened. “Parents But why? Where were his parents?”
“I still don't understand the reason behind this secret meeting, Mrs Rossi?” Evan asked crossing his hands across his chest when Victoria Rossi kept staring at him. They were in a hotel room because that's where Victoria called Evan. She claimed that meeting in a public place could be dangerous for both of them as she was still Elijah Rossi's wife. Evan rolled his eyes at the reason as if it mattered to him. He would rather kill both of them together. The ugly husband and wife. They both deserve it after what they did to Helena. Victoria smiled, seductive one and filled Evan's glass with wine. She had ordered his favourite red wine for him. She had been reading the various magazines relating to him for the last few days to get to know him on a personal level and impress him. “I wanted to see whether you are alright or not?”Evan's eyebrows raised up. “You could have asked me about it over the phone, Mrs. Rossi. Again I am stunned at your worry towards me. Your husband is fresh out
When Helena reached home Liam was doing homework in his room. Helena decided to spend some time with him and give him a gift which she brought for him today. She knew he had his dinner already with Antonio. Jenny told her so, Helena was glad that Evan's house staff was so good with Liam. A Lot of her tension ended ever since she came to live here. Liam having food on time, him fights with his friends and all. Jenny always made sure that Liam was fed properly. Antonio was his playmate and when he was not available, his guards played with him. “Hello, Son. Tough questions?” She asked, pointing at the notebook he was trying to solve maths problems on. Liam put his pencil on the notebook and turned to his mother. “Mom, You came home?”“Yes. I know I got a little late. But there was a lot of work in the office today. You had dinner right? Antonio told me but if you are still hungry we can have some light snacks.” Helena ruffled his hair. Liam shook his head. “No, I am full. Have you
Evan felt the dark silence as He entered his room. Ever since his fake fiancèe who He wants to keep with him forever started sharing his room, her mood swings reflect the energy of the room. Like today, He knew she was disturbed about something. He was glad He had dinner outside because the kind of energy He was feeling, He would have to go hungry while trying to know the reason behind it. Now He was getting why his Compagno sometimes became frustrated. It's not easy to stay with a woman. A single woman has more emotions than the height of Mount Everest. You try to solve one mood she would slip into another with the change of the second.Taking off his coat and unbuttoning the first two buttons of his shirt, he loosened the knot of his tie to relax his muscles. He went in search of Helena to the balcony of his room. It was her favourite thinking spot in his room. Right with his guess, he found her staring at the moonlit sky. The soft breeze played with her beautiful long hair.H
“You are disturbed, son?” Antonio said as he came to stand beside Evan when found his office light on. He was talking to someone on the phone but ended the call and immediately came to check on the reason why his godson was awake this late at night. Evan pocketed his hands and turned to his Godfather. “You have not changed a bit Antonio. You still could read my thoughts like an open book,” he said with a small smile. Antonio smiled too, “Yes, and I can also see the hidden sadness in your eyes, Evan. We don't share blood but I have raised you like my own son. I gave up my empire to save you, so yes my precious child. I can still read you like an open book.”Evan let out a heavy breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. Tonight his thoughts and emotions took him back in time. In the darkest time of his life where survival was the most important thing for him. Antonio was not lying when he said that he gave up his empire for his protection. He did. “Why?” Evan asked as he looked int
In the morning, Evan went to Liam’s room to talk to him. Liam was all dressed in his school uniform. But was struggling to tie his shoelaces. Smiling, he strode further into the room and kneeled to his level and took the shoelaces from him and tied them firmly. “Do you struggle with them daily?” He asked after he was done. Liam was stunned to see Evan in his room early in the morning. His question made him frown, “No. I don't. I know how to tie shoelaces perfectly.”Evan chuckled and nodded. He could see the child was lying to save his pride. “Is that so?” Evan asked challengingly. “because I think you are still in the learning process.”“You think wrong,” there was a kind of rudeness in Liam's voice today. He has never talked to him like this before. Never. Evan wondered what could be the reason behind this rudeness. He would come to that but first he needed to ease his anger regarding his father so that Helena’s tension could be eased. “fine. You won now come and sit here. I want
