Giampaolo Moretti stared at the picture of his great grandson longingly. He still couldn't believe that he had yet to meet him. Giovanni looked at his father-in-law. “If we don't do anything soon. He will never be ours. He won't ever carry our name or will flourish our bloodline, Giampaolo. We need to do something fast. The trick Evan played on us, we need to play something bigger and bitter than that on him.” He poked Giampaolo. The old hag could do anything to save his precious bloodline. His twisted mind works miraculously in situations like this. Hence Giovanni decided to use his weakness to solve this matter because the scandal Evan created for them was still burning their souls along with their reputation. He needed to do something big, something grand to control the damage done to his reputation if he wished to win the election. But what this gramnd thing was, Giovanni couldn't think of. And on top of that Cosa Nostra’s Don never fails to remind him of the dire consequences
“Where were you when I was giving the prize to Liam?” Nancy Rossi asked her son Elijah who kept tapping his feet in anger. She was very disappointed with his behavior yesterday. He suddenly disappeared when it was their moment to talk to Liam in person. “Elijah, I am asking you something! Where were you?” She asked again, getting angry when her son didn't pay attention to her. “I planned everything for you, this whole competition judge thing while the media is picking up on your father and grandfather. But you ruined it. Where the hell were you, I wanted to introduce you to Liam as his father…” “I was being held at gunpoint by Evan's goons!” Elijah yelled as he got to his feet. Nancy's eyes widened upon hearing that. “What... What do you mean?” She demanded after the shock passed. With a clenched jaws and angry eyes, he told his mother everything. And with every word that came out of his mouth Nancy's anger peaked. “And you are telling me this now!” Elijah'a own anger bu
“Vienna, can we talk,” Richard asked, knocking on her door before leaving. She acted surprised as if she was not even aware of his presence in the house. An odd feeling started ticking Richard at her acting. “Yes, please come inside Richard. I just woke up, do you want coffee, I was going to make one for myself,” she said with a huge smile on her face. Richard smiled. “Yes, why not. But I thought you had your coffee considering I saw you outside Capo’s office a few minutes ago with a coffee mug in your hands.” The smile on Vienna's face died and her insides clenched tightly. She could see questions in Richard's eyes. Vienna understood that right now it was not her friend who was standing in front of her but La Famiglia’s consigliere. “Would you explain this what were you doing there sneakily?” She was being questioned by him but not in the similar method he would have questioned someone else. Not violently. Vienna needed to handle this carefully. One wrong move and her whole
Helena looked at herself in the mirror, smiling shyly while recalling the sweet memories of last night. She couldn't believe her fate. That she could get a man like Evan Conan Hemsworth in her life. And who promised to love her in his own way. Her! The woman who got cheated by everyone she loved in life. Her father. Her fiance. Her past bitter experiences always prevented her from starting a new relationship. But with Evan, she decided to take the risk. She won't hold back anymore now. The smile on her face stretched further recalling his promises last night. Letting out a dreamy sigh she picked her phone from the bed and decided to call Evan. The fact that she woke up alone in a cold bed after the beautiful night they both shared with each other displeased her. She needed to know where Her used to be fake and now real fiance was? It's past office time and she knew she was taking advantage of her new designation in Evan's life but she was in a Dreamland and willing to use som
“What do you want?” Helena snapped at her so-called father. She hated him with every ounce of her body and destroying him and his family was her only goal now. “I want to meet my daughter. I know you are alone right now, Helena. I know you need the support and love of your family in this tough time. I called to tell you that you are not alone in this, I am with you, my daughter. In this custody battle, I will support you fully. Not only me but your mother and Victoria will support you too.” Mother? Really, tsk! Helena fumed hearing his fake words. “Really Dad!” She hissed, “You and your so-called family including my stepmother will support me?” Arom detected the contempt and taunt in her words but he swallowed it. “Yes. We will. Whatever happened in the past, Helena, let's forget it and move on in life. Move on with our family, my daughter.” Helena wanted to laugh out loudly at his acting but she saved it for later. “Hmm. Your words made me emotional, Dad. But tell me, wh
Liam frowned when teachers in his school kept giving him weird glances while whispering with each other. He knew everyone in school was intimidated by his guards. His new guards, Dima and Salvatore, were bigger than his old ones. Everyone at school was in awe of his lifestyle. But today the way they were looking at him felt weird to him. “Is Everything alright, Liam?” Salvatore asked him when he noticed the tension in him. It was lunchtime and the kids were out in the garden. Before Liam could answer him, his friend Nia came to him. Salvatore took a few steps back to make sure his presence was unknown as he didn't want to disturb Liam and his friend’s friendship. But he kept his eyes and ears open to make sure Liam's safety was not harmed in any way. After a few seconds, Dima came to him and whispered the order in his ears which he received from Evan just now. “Liam, who are you going to live with now?” Nia asked, sitting next to him. His frown creased further. “What do y
“Liam, try to think how many times in the past few months Elijah Rossi came to meet you in school. He did it because he loves you. I told you before, I can arrange your meeting with your father but Liam if you tell your mother about it, she would never let you meet Elijah. I won't feel bad if you tell this to Helena but I was only thinking about you and Elijah. Afterall, you also want to know your father and Elijah,” she paused to give her speech a dramatic angle before taking Liam's small hand into her and raising his chin so that he look into her eyes. “Liam, Your father really really want to meet you. He want you and your mother to stay like a family. Do you want to meet him?”Liam was silent. His insides froze and images of Elijah Rossi flashed in his vision. The two times he met Him. He was not meeting some guest in school but his own father. “Liam?” Vienna's voice broke his thoughts. “Do you want to meet him?” she asked again. “But kid,this meeting will be a secret. No one can
“Liam, how was school, Son?” Helena asked her son while bringing him back from school. Both his guards were seated in the driver and passenger seats. From the last few days, Helena had been noticing a change in her son. He was not as lively and active as he was before. And this thing was eating her alive,with everything happening in her life she felt guilty for sometimes neglecting her motherly duties. “Liam, are you unhappy, son? Has something happened? You know you can share everything with your mother, right Liam?”She said with a soft motherly smile to her face. Liam blinked a few times. He was in a dilemma whether to share about his upcoming meeting with his father or not. He promised Vienna that he wouldn't tell anyone about his meeting with Elijah Rossi but he wanted to tell his mother.He never hired something this big from her. And it felt as if he was doing something wrong. Unaware of her son's dilemma, Helena's guilt doubled. Since when Liam started hesitating before sh
