Olivia held her head, failing to breathe, the yelling and threatening were unbearable. The two men didn't stop exchanging words and threatening each other.Finding out something shocking at the same time was a lot for her. She wanted to snap out of the horrifying dream and believe everything was a lie, but no. Pedro didn't argue or deny being a Garcia. What shocked her even more was finding out the brother she thought died a long time ago was alive, and it was Marcos. The same man she met at the cemetery with Pedro. He held her hand, keeping her away from Pedro and explained everything to her…she was lost, confused why her parents told her he was dead.All these years she mourned an alive person. Did he know how much she suffered, yearning for an older brother's love? The nights I spent crying and wondering why the heavens took him away from us.“Aren't you going to tell her… how you plotted against me,” Marcos asked Pedro, his one eye shone with anger, both men were glaring at each ot
Olivia was nervous as she fiddled with her hands. She spent the entire night staring at the stars. She couldn't get any shut eyes, no matter how hard she tried. Not only that, but she was unable to imagine her parents weren't dead.The entire time, Marcos was telling her everything that happened that night. Tears filled her eyes, her heart twisted in agony. She had never felt so miserable, so alone. For a year and a half. She had lived mourning her parents. Crying over their death. She was eager to see her little brother. That childish boy had been hiding well.She couldn't wait to hear her mom's nagging and her dad's scolding. Throughout the drive, Olivia kept practicing what she was going to say. How she was going to apologize to her parents.It was her fault, she brought Luciano into their lives, and he betrayed her. Of what Marcos told her, Luciano indeed knew about her parents. The text message he sent her inviting her for lunch was true.“Relax. I told them we were coming…no need
“Are you going to let her go? Pedro tells me what you are thinking,” Zane said, pacing back and forth. They just found out Sydney was working with Marcos the entire time. Zane was even more disappointed in her. He trusted Sydney, but she broke his trust. He couldn't believe she said it to his face.“Come on man, just do something,” Zane stopped in front of Pedro. The man was acting strange. Zane stared at her and was helpless. Pedro had never acted in such a way before. He expected Pedro to kill Sydney on the spot, knowing no one was to betray him. But he let her go.The woman he claimed as his wanted nothing to do with him. If it were the old Pedro, he would have turned the world upside down to get her. That meant even destroying Marcos in the process.“Fine, let's just say, Marcos is taking advantage of this… you didn't use Olivia, I'm certain…” Zane said after a while but was cut short when the door flew open, getting their attention.“Boss, found this trying to sneak in,” it was Ga
When Olivia ran out of her room to see what was going on. She was met with something frightening. The scenery displayed outside would have anyone feeling goosebumps all over. Her father and brother, together with other men who were also in her brother's mafia gang, surrounded Pedro's men. All of them were armed and pointing guns at each other. Like some dark prince dressed in black from top to bottom, he stood tall, the dark aura emitting from him was something that people couldn't overlook. His sharp, piercing gaze darted around as if scanning his prey. He wasn't with Zane or Gabby or even Jordan or Luke. He came alone with a few men. Not only that, but he was outnumbered. “Mom, please stop them…this…” Olivia said when she came out and found her mom standing at the entrance while watching what was happening. “Sis, let them deal with that man…even if he saved your life…he has no rights to have you,” Lalo said coldly and Olivia was confused, her little brother sounded bitter, but he
“Come on Olivia, I know I betrayed you…but I couldn't handle it when I heard what happened to your brother,” Sydney begged Olivia to forgive her. Yes, she sided with Marcos and lied many times. But she didn't regret a thing, the only thing she regretted was getting involved with Alfredo.“Really? All this time you made me a fool… you lied and hid secrets from me,” Olivia said disdainfully while getting ready, after a long night full of nightmares. She decided to go out, for the first time she was going out with her mom and little brother. Marcos and her father had other things to attend to.“Well, yes, but look…he asked me not to say anything… I couldn't just go against him,” Sydney said, pleading to be forgiven, she promised Marcos not to say anything to Olivia. She wanted too badly to explain everything to her friend, but unfortunately, the man ordered her to keep her mouth shut.“I don't care. Why are you even with him?” Olivia said, stopping in her tracks and glancing at Sydney wit
Olivia and everyone reached the mall, it was a slightly sunny afternoon. Nothing made her more relaxed than shopping. She hadn't done this in a long time, especially with her mom and friend.“I'll be around, away from lady things,” Lalo said, taking out his phone.“Don't go far…and come back as soon as I call you,” Olivia heard her mom say in a warning tone, and she knew Lalo would get into trouble if he did anything silly.“Yeah, mom,” Lalo said and walked away from the parking area. Olivia saw the many men in the shadows her brother asked to escort them for protection and sighed. Being a mafia was hard. Constantly, they had to have men watching from the shadows. But she appreciated it because the danger was always lurking around.“Welcome, I'm Maya, I'll be assisting you,” a lady wearing a black and white uniform walked up to them and introduced herself. Olivia smiled and so did her mom and Sydney. They decided to do some clothes shopping before they settled for lunch.“Everything is
Olivia stirred a little, reaching for her head. She felt heavy, her eyes couldn't open, or was the room completely dark? Pushing herself up, Olivia's eyes flew open, and she found herself in a strange room. It wasn't dark as she anticipated, the walls were gold and white painted, and so were the curtains and the rest of the things. Whoever the room belonged to seemed to like gold-made things. She didn't remember anything apart from being at the baby store. And those men blocking the way. Olivia's brows creased together when she scanned herself, and she was wearing a long nightgown. “Where am I?” Olivia muttered as she dragged herself out of bed but stopped when she heard the turning of a doorknob, Olivia was alert as she walked back to the bed and grabbed the closest thing to her. Soon the door opened and someone unexpectedly walked in. “You?” Olivia muttered in disbelief. The man smirked and gestured at what he was holding. “Hello sweetheart, did you sleep well?” Pedro said wit
His first suspect was none other than Pedro. Hence, he sent his men to invade Pedro's secret hideout, his warehouses and every hidden location all around the city to fish him out.He ordered to shoot anyone who dared to come in the way. Both Marcos Sydney together with other men decided to visit the Garcias. Sydney feared what would happen to the Garcias seeing how angry Marcos was.Whenever he was angry, bad things happened. She just hoped none of the Garcias had anything to do with Olivia's disappearance.Soon they reached the Garcia mansion. Marcos's men parked the cars to the other sides and stormed out. All of them were armed. The gate was heavily guarded by armed men, but seeing how calm Marcos was, Sydney knew he had everything under control. In a split second, Sydney heard groans.“Let's move,” Marcos muttered when the gate was opened wide and the driver drove the car at high speed. Sydney saw bodies laying all over the place and Marcos's men making their way to the mansion. It
