“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
Chapter 102Helena 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. “Signora, 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 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 or affection or whatever she wanted in her childhood from you. Because that's the only thing whi
“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. “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 miscarriage. I was not aware of my pregnancy. You already know why Elijah
Two pink stripes mean positive. Helena kept staring at the pregnancy test in her hand and her eyes welled up with tears. She was crying and smiling at the same time not believing she had a small life inside her. Her happiness couldn't be defined in words at this moment. She figured it out when her menstruation was missed for the last two months. But now she was sure of it. Helena placed her hand on her flat belly and sighed. The dream of a beautiful future welcomed her vision.Enthusiastically, Helena left early from her business trip to go back to her fiance. She was going to surprise him with happy news today itself. It was almost a three-hour flight but it felt like an eternity to her. Nonetheless, the moment she reached Milan, Helena didn't waste a second, she hired a cab and directly went to meet Elijah in his office. She smiled at everyone who greeted her on the way. Her happiness was shining in her eyes as she reached the CEO’s cabin on the twenty-first floor. “Miss Gelati
“So what's the problem? You should go and apologise to Elijah and your sister.” Rita, Helena’s stepmother said, crossing her hands across her chest and levelling a glare to Helana. “You finally realise your place. You were the one who was running after Elijah and never gave him space with your clingy behaviour. So now he knows what's best for him. Now let Victoria and Elijah be happy, Helena. They both love each other and it would be cheap to come in between two lovers. Let them live their lives.”Helena looked at her step-mother stunned. Did she hear her right? “Apologise to them!” She sneered at her stepmother but what could she even have expected from that woman? Helena held her father's arm and questioned him. “Dad, are you hearing what she is saying? Won't you say anything to her, Victoria and Elijah cheated on me. They took Mama’s land from me, Dad. Help me get that land back. It was Mom’s dream to open an orphanage there.”Just then Victoria arrived there with a crying face.
Helena stood like a stone in front of her mother's grave while someone’s last rites were being performed behind her. Her eyes welled with tears and her mother's name blurred on the gravestone but she controlled her emotions. She came here to ask for strength from her mother, not cry out like a weak girl. “I have hired a lawyer. Your dream will come alive, Mom,” She said firmly. The betrayal from her family and fiancee destroyed her but they couldn't break her spirit. Helena was going to fight back every single one of them. “I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't protect your last inheritance but now I have decided to fight back, Mom!” she inhaled sharply when a cold breeze touched her skin. “I love you,” she whispered and bent to put the flowers in her mother's graveyard but stilled when she heard someone’s grunt followed by heavy breathing. Helena frowned when the sound came again, it was from behind her mother's grave. She clutched the flowers tightly in her hands and stepped forward to check
****SEVEN YEARS LATER****The room was thick with tension. The scent of smoke and expensive liquor hung in the air of the hotel's cabin which Evan Conan Hemsworth came to take over. His cold blue eyes stared at the owner of the hotel frostily. “My time is precious, Carmine. Your Hotel caught my eye and It became Hemsworth property. The price I am offering you is good and fair,” He stated authoritatively, leaning back in the chair comfortably. “But…But I don't want to sell my Hotel, Mr Hemsworth,” Carmine stuttered, this Hotel was his bread and butter and he had no plans of selling it anytime soon. But he was also scared for his life, the man sitting in front of him was not only a billionaire businessman. No, He holds another identity. There were dark rumours about him, rumours that everyone in their world knew were facts. Under the expensive tailor-made suit hides the brutal lethal Mafia head who ruled the crime world of Italy with an iron fist. The man who had risen from the stre
