He pulled her into a hug, which surprised her. She thought he would go back to the table and finish his breakfast before leaving for work. No man would want to put up with the tantrums of any woman, especially not the one whom he is not sleeping with. She is not a fool, she knows that. But when he hugs her instead of leaving her alone with her troubled thoughts, she is just not surprised, she is moved. What he said next might have been the reason why she started falling for him. But she was oblivious to that small flicker of something that lit inside her heart. She only registered the flutters in her stomach."Why are you upset? You have nothing to be embarrassed about and feel defensive. I am just like you. If I start thinking that something or someone is mine, then I would be really upset if anyone tries to touch what's mine. The same thing happened to you now. That chair was yours and today Sasha occupied it. I can understand that it must have disturbed you. I didn't notice her ear
"Alesso, there is still a group of bikers who are trying to avenge Victor's death. Looks like one of Victor's brothers is leading this group" Czar informed his boss and friend.Alessandro frowned. These bikers are irritating him. He wiped most of them, but still, there were a few who were relentlessly trying to kill him. "Brother?" he inquired.Czar nodded. He is driving while Alesso is in the back seat."Yes, your uncle Alexie has affairs with countless women. This one seems to be born from one of those women. He is the person who had a close bond with Victor" he shared. Livi's face flashed in Alessandro's mind. He never had to think about protecting anyone from his enemies before. But now, he has Livi. She is innocent and doesn't deserve to become a target of those bikers because of him."I think it is better to send Livi back to Chicago. She will be safe there. And arrange our best men to guard her at all times. Tell them to keep an eye on Carlos. I don't like the way he is being
In an undisclosed location, a group of bikers are in a heated argument with each other."Dimitri, this is not going anywhere. We have been trying to follow and learn about Alessandro Volcov for years now. But apart from learning some simple things about him, we couldn't find anything solid to use against that man. He is not like before. He changed a lot. He built walls higher than anything I have ever seen before. We cannot breach his home, or company or even hack his systems. He is foolproof and he doesn't have any weaknesses. Now, thinking about it, I feel like we should abandon this task and leave this country. It's impossible to touch that man" one of the twelve bikers told their leader.Dimitri is angry. He is not doing all this because of his undying loyalty towards his deceased stepbrother Victor. He is doing all this for power. But he should have known that it's not easy. It took Victor years to gather allies and make a move against Alessandro. Then, Victor had money and men a
Dimitri is shocked when Carlos pushes the girl down the hill. He knows why he did it. Carlos knows that the girls will not come back out of this without them r*ping her. That's why he pushed her down. It would take anyone a day or two or more to locate the girl. He buys that girl some time because he knows Dimitri and his men are close and they will be caught soon. Just like Carlos guessed, two minutes after he pushed Olivia, the bikers kicked him from behind his back. He stumbled and fell face first on the rough terrain. Olivia's scream is still echoing in his head. But he is sure she will survive the fall. But she will not survive being the captive of these bikers. Bikers are known for their rough treatment of women and they share one female among themselves several times. He cannot imagine that fate for Olivia. So he pushed her down, hoping his cousin would come looking for them before these bikers could find her and catch her. "Not bad Carlos. You actually are trying to save tha
"Mmmm," a pain-filled moan left from Olivia's mouth. She blinked repeatedly to clear her gaze. But something wet is dripping from her head, and it is obstructing her view. From the metallic smell in the air, she understood that she was bleeding. She tried to move her limbs, but she was stuck. The place from where she fell looks far from where she is stuck. She is not exactly on the ground but hanging somewhere in the middle. 'My cousin will come for her. You are inviting your death ' She vaguely heard Carlos's speaking. Tears welled in her eyes. She remembered the conversation she had with Alessandro that morning. 'I am bored, Alesso ' she complained.He caressed her cheek fondly and fed her a piece of toast.'I will take you out tomorrow ' he promised.If only she would have disagreed with Carlos, this wouldn't have happened now. She is sure Alesso would come for her. But she is not sure if she will be alive by the time he finds her. She is bleeding from different places and feel
"Livi" Alessandro is searching for Olivia. The strong scent of blood caught his attention. He reached the spit where Livi was stuck a few minutes ago. When he saw so much blood, his eyes began to burn and became moist with unshed tears. He found her scarf nearby. "Livi" he screamed at the top of his lungs. He fell to his knees in pain by holding the scarf as if it is Olivia herself. But she didn't reply. He is not ready to believe that she is no more. "No, Livi, you cannot leave me like this. You are my ray of sunshine in the darkness that my life has become. I wake up with a smile every morning because of you. I cannot live without ever seeing your smile. You just cannot leave me, baby. I will never allow that" he cried out loud with pain and fear for her life.That's when he saw the trail of blood leading down. He ran down the trail ignoring the thorns and the sharp rocks that kept piercing his skin. After about a minute or two, he heard the unmistakable sound of people speaking
Ten hours later, In the Volcov family mansion, Alessandro is looking at Livi who is sleeping in his bed under the effects of the sedatives. The injury to her head needed three stitches. It would leave a mark, but it is not visible to anyone as her hair would cover it. But he would never be able to forget this day. It is marked as the worst day of his life, and he had seen bad days before. He fired his security staff who failed to notice that Carlos and Livi slipped out of the mansion undetected. They failed in their duties. But all of this is on one side and there is something which is bothering him more. The fact that Livi decided to ignore his words and agreed to go out with Carlos is making him want to kill Carlos. The fact that he is Jelous of Carlos is shocking. He never thought that he would see a day like this some day.'Does Livi have feelings for Carlos? Is that why she went out with him? I don't understand what she saw in him. He is useless and cannot do a single thing prop
He stilled and finally met her gaze. "I am not mad, Livi, I am upset and most importantly, I am worried about you and your choices. You shouldn't have gone out with Carlos in the first place. I specifically told you not to. But still, you disregarded my words and went out with that good-for-nothing idiot anyway. You showed me that he is more important to you than me. You should have gone in search of him and ignored me altogether" he muttered with jealousy. His emotions are all over the place. He is worried about her and let's not forget the Jealousy. He never acknowledged it in front of Czar, but he is burning with Jealousy. She showed Carlos is more important to her than him. He is being himself in front of her, and he is being a boss in front of, Czar Livi is stunned by his words. She can see that he is upset and rightfully so. She made a mistake by not following his words. She knows he has enemies and Carlos is not enough to protect them both. But still, she decided to go anywa
