“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
Nancy Rossi stepped out of her luxurious car and stared shead at the school with a bright smile. Today was the day she will see her grandson, Liam. Her blood! She arranged the best ever experience for her grandson he was going to have today. Meeting his blood family and winning this competition. So she asked her staff and the school head to organise everything extravagantly only for her son. She even volunteered herself to sponsor the whole program. Elijah too stopped beside her, setting his blazer and asking his mother, “Mom, everything will be fine, right? Liam will be happy to see me!” “Of course, Son. Liam will be happy to see his father. But make sure not to hurt your Injuries further. Doctor had mentioned you needed rest another week but just for your love for your son, I brought you here.” Nancy nodded at him. Elijah rolled his eyes. “Mom, please stop it now. I Am not a kid. I'm a father now. Father of a six year old kid. Shall we go.” He sighed at her overprotectiveness.
Helena glared at her silently as the woman dared to ask and Helena couldn't hold herself but snatch her son from her hold. “I Am here with my son, Mrs Rossi. I will participate in the competition.” Nancy straightened up gracefully and sharpened her eyes at Helena. Mr Gilbert awkwardly looked back and forth at both of them. “But this competition is to celebrate Father’s day also, Ms Perez. You can't fill the father figure unfortunately!” Helena snapped her head hearing another voice and looked at Elijah walking to them with pride in his eyes. But his gaze was not on her but on his son who also looked at Elijah with a deep frown. “Elijah..” Helena’s blood boiled, realising their ugly scheme finally. Her body trembling uncontrollably with the rage trying to burst out and kill that bastard then and there. “Ah.. Mom, you are hurting me.” Liam winced as she gripped his hand. Helena gasped and immediately crouched down to her son’s level. “Liam. I'm sorry son. Are you hurt.” She inspec
“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
