“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 was shocked and silent at her revelation. “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 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. After All, you also want to know your father 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 looked into her eyes. “Liam, Your father really wants to meet you. He wants you and your mother to stay together 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 guests in school but his own father. “Liam?” Vienna's voice broke his thoughts. “Do you want to meet him?” she asked again.
“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, baby? 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 hid 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 befo
Helena eyed the red dress Evan sent for her. A bold color for the lunch meeting with her so-called family. She understood why Evan sent this dress for her, this dress represents power and authority. The power and Authority which comes to her after being Evan Conan Hemsworth’s fiance. Today, the Gelati family wouldn't be meeting a vulnerable Helena who went to her father crying for justice seven years ago. No, today they would be meeting a Lioness. Evan's lioness. “Ms Perez, The car is ready,” Jenny came to inform Helena. Gim, one of Evan's trusted men, was driving her to the hotel where her meeting was set up with her father and his family. Helena nodded and with one last look at herself in the mirror she left for the meeting with people she hates most in this world. . . “Remember, Arom. You must make her believe that she is the most important person in your life. Show your love and affection or whatever she wanted in her childhood from you. Because that's the only thing whic
“We were disheartened, Helena. Your father, he went into heavy depression after the news of your death,” Rita answered in a sad voice while he remained silent. Helena laughed at that. “Heavy depression? And your heavy depression engaged you all into the party of my death with the Rossis!” She snapped her eyes at her father accusingly. “In that heavy depression you were triumphantly smiling at your dear daughter Victoria’s marriage with Elijah just after fifteen days of my death!” Victoria stiffened in her chair. Arom’s eyes turned dark and Rita inhaled sharply to control her wavering character. No, they needed patience with her. She reminded herself. “Helena. Why don’t we forget the past and think about the future. Yes, we married fifteen days after your death news but it was because I was pregnant.” Rita frowned at her daughter's words. Arom too looked at her confused while Helena's inside tightened in rage. “Really? What happened to your baby, Victoria?” “I got a miscarri
“Victoria!” Rita Gelati looked at her daughter determinedly. “Try to see Evan as much as possible. Stay close to him. Helena is so hyped about her relationship with Evan, right? I am going to snatch him out of her hands and bring her back where she belonged! Into the filthy dirt!” “I intend to do that, Mom. Evan is getting along with me well. Soon he will dance on my fingers. Helena is showing off her superiority in front of us. This power and boldness in her come from Evan. What is she otherwise?” Victoria sneered but Arom was silent and kept staring at his bruised hand. Now, he didn't care about anything but teaching Helena the lesson of respect! She insulted him in front of everyone and now he was going to teach her how a good daughter respects her father! . . Evan eyed his fiancèe who was staring outside the window. He could feel the tension in her body. He could feel her angry and restless and He wanted to take all that away from her. “Do you want her to die today?”
Elijah's heart flipped in his chest when he stood in front of his son. The moment he was waiting for was here. His son, His flesh and blood was standing in front of him. For years, he considered himself half a man because of his infertility. But today, his son's presence ended all his worries. “Liam, You wanted to meet your father, right. Let me introduce you both properly,” Vienna said in her overly sweet voice, making both father and son duo shift their attention to her. She wanted to roll her eyes when Liam and Elijah kept staring at each other. “Liam, meet Elijah Rossi. He is your Dad. And Elijah, meet your son Liam Rossi.”Liam glanced at Vienna. His eyes clenched together in a deep frown while Elijah's eyes gleamed with love. “Liam Perez, Vienna. I am not Rossi but Liam Perez.”Vienna's eyes hardened at his words. There was a sharpness in his tone which made both Vienna and Elijah share a look with each other. Elijah inhaled sharply, he needed to handle his son calmly. He ne
“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
