The next day after meeting with Kairo, Livi feels restless. She liked Kairo. He was sweet and the details he shared about his life after their mom left and the limited details he shared about his business and his differences with Alesso gave her an insight on the kind of person he is. They shared their likes and dislikes. He left with the promise to come back again. She couldn't sleep after he left. The thought of why she left or was there anything else that they were missing was plaguing her mind. Her urge to know what happened then is quite intense."What is bothering you?" Alesso asked her softly.He noticed that she was feeling lost and anxious about something. "My mom" she replied.He sat beside her and pulled her into his lap. They are sitting in his home office. A permanent frown is etched on her forehead from last night. She was tossing and turning in her sleep. She said she liked Kairo, just like he thought she would. But something else is bothering her. He thought she would
"Antonio" Kairo greeted into the phone.Antonio is furious. He learned where his consignments were. And he didn't like it one bit. Five of his consignments have gone missing at once before they can reach the shore. "Kairo, that Alexandro seized all of my weapon consignments. I don't know where they are, but I will lose more than three million dollars if he doesn't return my weapons. He is doing this on purpose. I know it. He is not liking you meeting your sister. He is showing his anger at me. This is not done Kairo. You have to retaliate now. We cannot simply sit down and allow him to control us. Who does he think he is? You go and bring Olivia to your home. That will teach him a lesson about what we can do if he tries to scare us" Antonio yelled from the other end. Kairo is shocked to hear this. Based on what he understood about Alessandro, he is not someone who would do things like this. His plan of action will be direct. "Antonio, you don't worry. I will try to speak with him"
Alessandro chuckled at his request. "Friend? Are you sure about that Kairo? Is it only you? Or does he treat you as his friend too?" he inquired sarcastically.The Italian boss frowned. He didn't like the way Alessandro was speaking."Volcov, be mindful of what you are speaking. Of course, he treats me as his friend. He is loyal to me to the core. He offered me his sister's hand for marriage. I trust him completely" he defended Antonio fiercely. Alesso snorted sarcastically."You going to marry his sister? Wonderful. Just for confirmation, is she the same woman who accompanied you to the Volcov mansion yesterday? The same woman who was giving me 'Come get me ' signs? Is she the one?" he asked with amusement.Kairo glared at Alessandro."Leave Sylvia out of this. She is not like you are portraying her to be. She is smart and loyal, just like her brother" he growled with anger.Alessandro chuckled, not at all affected by his outburst. He can see that Kairo is blindsided by his loyalty
It's Antonio who froze this time. He belatedly realized his mistake. He was so angry that he did not pause to think about what he was doing. He just spoke things that he shouldn't have. "Kairo, you know how much I like you. We have been friends for years now. You are going to marry my sister. I just thought that it would be good to make our relationship strong. That's why I asked Olivia. You know very well how fleeting the attention span of men in our world is. Alessandro might like Olivia now, but can you guarantee that he would still like her after two years? Or five years down the line? What then? What would happen to her after he discards her and picks up someone else? If I marry her, I will take care of her until my last breath. I only do things that will be good for you and your sister. It's deeply hurting me to even think that you misunderstood my intentions" he lied and manipulated Kairo.Not only Kairo, but everyone in the mafia world knows and accepts the fact that men in t
Catherine and Rose found themselves tied to opposite chairs by the time they woke up from the effects of the chloroform that was given to them. They tugged at the ties that bound them to the chairs with panic. "Ahh...""Help"They started screaming for help. They can only see each other, as the rest of the part of the warehouse is basked in the darkness. There is only one light hanging over their heads, which is throwing some light on both of them. Their screams started echoing around the warehouse."Mom, what is happening? Why are we here? You said no one would hurt us as they only want Dad. Now why are we here? I am so scared Mom" Rose cried with fear.Catherine is also scared. She thought the Russians were after George. Now that they kidnapped George, she thought she could live happily with the money George earned for them. But she was not expecting this to happen. "Who is there? Why did you kidnap us? We don't know anything. Please, untie us" she demanded with false bravado.Cza
Olivia is shocked to hear this. She always thought that Rose hated her for no apparent reason.Now she understood where that hate was coming from.She leaned on Alesso for comfort. All her life was a joke and a cruel one at that. People played with her emotions. She only ever had Hera for emotional support. She worked part-time jobs for her expenses. Catherine used to make her work at home like a maid and then she used to go to school. Then she used to work in a nearby coffee shop as a waitress for a few hours before going back home and working on dinner again. She used to only rest for a few hours before she had to wake up and repeat the process again. To say that she was doing all that from the age of ten is saying it all."You ok?" Alesso whispered softly.She gave him a stiff nod. When compared to the time in the past, she is more than okay now. Alesso is treating her like a princess. She never thought that she would find peace in a man who kills people for fun. But she did, and s
Catherine is shivering with fear. When she agreed to use Olivia's mother, she was so confident that no one could find out about what they did. They planned everything carefully and with utmost precision. No one suspected a thing until now. Even Olivia was under the delusion that George was her father. But now, right after George is missing or dead, things take an ugly turn. She lied to her daughter who was taking Olivia's side when she was young. Rose used to refuse and argue when Olivia was treated badly. So Catherine started lying to her, making it look like Olivia was the bad guy here. It worked. Until now. All her lies came back to haunt her. But what is hurting her the most is the way Rose is looking at her. With distrust and anger. Despite being the worst female for Olivia and her mother, Catherine loved her daughter dearly. To look at the hatred in her daughter's eyes feels like a dagger to her heart."Shelby, Olivia's mother, was a very beautiful lady. She was so beautiful tha
Kairo looked at Catherine with hatred. He wanted to kill his father and George for how they played with his mother's life. He is planning how to torture Catherine until his anger is reduced and she is nothing but a body bathed in blood. She did something worse to another woman, just for money. "How could you? You destroyed and killed my mother. As if that is not enough, you tortured my sister as well. I will destroy your daughter's life just like how you destroyed my mother's life. You deserve to die with the heartache and regret of how helpless you are and how much your daughter is suffering because of your sins. I will make her pay with blood" he declared with anger. Catherine became pale. She never thought a day would come where Rose will have to see this kind of day."No, please. You can kill me. But spare my daughter. She is innocent" she begged. But Rose looked resigned, as if she already accepted her fate.Alessandro and his men are quiet. They know this is Kairo's personal
