As Giovanni and Luca sealed the agreement between their families, Kaira and Calix were both in stunned silence. They know this will happen, but they are still not prepared for the reality that is about to unfold between them.
As the agreement is signed, their respective missions are at the forefront of their minds, and they are both immersed in their own thoughts. This is what they have both been waiting for to happen so they can move on to their missions.
In the first phase of the plan, they have succeeded. Both of them have been able to infiltrate each other's families without knowing about their true intentions towards each other's father. And that secret that they are both hiding is what is keeping them uneasy at this exact moment.
The beginning of the Lombardis and Hendrix's clandestine operation is going to
It was just now that Enzo had the chance to have a conversation with his cousin, as they had both been busy during the signing of the alliance. And it was a good thing that upon their return to the Hendrix estate, they both found a chance to discuss their next plans. "Hey, why the long face? Missing your husband already?" Calix had been summoned to a discussion by Giovanni and Luca, and that is why Enzo took that opportunity to talk to Kaira immediately. They needed to prepare for the next steps in their mission now that the partnership between the two families has been completed. "I've been making an effort to be able to talk to you since earlier, but your attention has been tied to your husband ever since." Kaira responded immediately, saying, "Don't start with me right now, Enz. I am not in the mood for your absurdities. Whatever you want to say, I don't want to hear it, so just zip it." It is true that a celebration had been organized in the Hendrix mansion in celebration of th
"Drew, it's good that you are here. We need to talk." Kaira said in a flippant tone as a response to Drew's jovial earlier question. She is actually trying to maintain her calmness despite the loud beating of her heart. She is adamant about completing this discussion with Drew while Calix is busy and is still out of the scene. "Miss me much, Babe? Don't worry, I miss you that much too." "I am not in the mood for games, Drew." "I honestly don't like the way you've been calling me today. What happened? Why are we on a first-name basis now? What happened to the babe and the baby? Is this all because of your fake husband?" Drew questioned, igniting more of Kaira's annoyance for him. "Drew, will you stop it?" She answered, glancing around to see if any of the Hendrix's me
Calix heard Giovanni address him, "So what do you think, Calix? Will that work for you? Either way, we have to arrive at some sort of agreement here as the current set-up will definitely not work." All he could manage to do was take a glimpse nonchalantly at his father and his father-in-law. The two leaders had summoned him for a brief discussion, but it had been over two hours since they had started this conversation, and yet here they are still unable to arrive at a decision to finish their talk. But who is really to blame for the time being wasted? Can he actually say it is him? Despite the fact that he has spent the last two hours physically with them, his mind seems to have been elsewhere. He is not really listening to what Giovanni is talking about because all he can think about is his wife and Drew Valentino. Since he feels that Drew is only lingering
Calix shouted, channeling all of his bottled-up emotions toward Drew like a furious bull. "You asshole, who do you think you are?! I told you to stay away from her, didn't I? You really don't heed my warnings, Valentino; do you want to die?" James is doing everything he can in order to prevent his best friend from harming Drew and from causing a commotion that could alert their leaders. He is grumbling, "Calix, stop this. Fuck it! You know we can't make a scene around here, especially not when Giovanni and your father had just signed the partnership." But he doesn't care at all. Calix has had it with Drew, and he doesn't care anymore how his father would feel about this because all he ever wanted to do was put a bullet in Drew's head and kill him at this exact moment. "I am going to fucking kill you today, jackas
James could only let out a tired sigh at Kaira as soon as Calix left. He is aware that his friend needs some time to himself in order to control his emotions and overcome his fury. "We just have to let him be on his own for the time being, Kaira. He needs this in order to pacify himself." Without saying anything, Kaira has been focusing on her husband's receding figure. Although she is aware of what James said, she is obsessing over what Calix might be thinking. She shouldn't have bothered to talk to Drew right now—especially not here—because everything has become a complete mess. She made a mistake—a very significant one, at that—and she is unsure of how to correct it. "I'm sure that he's going to be fine, Kaira. You know how Calix can be, but he'll get through this." "I messed up, right?" She asks more to herse
"Why would he decide on doing something like that? Why would he bring me back to Italy without bothering to ask me in the first place if I wanted to? He pushed me into this marriage; why is it then that he is deciding for me again? Fuck this life!" Kaira shrieked with anger the moment she had the chance to speak to her cousin. The mere idea that she and Calix will be parting ways makes her feel like she might begin crying in front of Enzo, even if she doesn't want to. All Enzo could do was give his cousin a hug while attempting to comfort her. "Kai, I know you are upset and furious about this, but try to remain calm. We don't want to bring your father and Luca into the picture right now. Besides, you should have expected that your father would do something like this," he said. Kaira let out a deep breath and sank back into the chair, exhaling a defeated sigh.
"Calix," she gasped as she caught sight of her husband's apprehensive countenance. With one particularly straightforward query from Calix about why she was breaking down, she was rendered speechless. Her husband stands in front of her, and even though she isn't expecting him to be here given their previous confrontation and what James has told her about giving him space, she can't help but want to get closer to him and feel his warmth to pacify her raging emotions towards her father. Calix had no intention to let on how worried he was about his wife after their earlier incident, but when it comes to Kaira, he just can't help but reveal himself. "Kaira, I asked you a question. Why are you crying? What happened?" He is unable to contain himself when he sees Kaira cry because of fear. He kept thinking, what took place when he walked away? Did his father come? Or
Kaira pointed out, "So how was it? Did everything went well with your work?" She has been dying to have this conversation with him. "Yes, sweetheart, all is well done. Everything has been taken care of properly. How about you? How's everything?" he answered excitedly. He has been waiting all day to have this conversation with her. "Just like yours, everything went well. Enzo and I just came back from a tiring day, but all is well." "Perfect then. Now that work is over, we can focus on each other." A giggle escaped her lips as he heard what Calix had to say. She is becoming more and more like a fool in love whenever she is having a conversation with her husband, but who can blame her? This is all new to her, and she is basking in the wonderful feeling that this emotion has to offer her. "You are crazy, Cal." "I am crazy about you, hon. What about you?" "What about me?" she retorted, biting her lip to stiffen the giggle that was about to come out again. She doesn't want to be all
