****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
Helena wanted to scream in pain but words didn't leave her mouth. The smell of gasoline and blood filled her senses and it was becoming hard for her to breathe. She wanted to move her hands but everything was aching in her body. She managed to peel her eyes open but shrieked when she eyed the blood all over her body. “NO..”..Helena gasped loudly, snapping her eyes open and sitting upright. Her body was sweating badly as she looked around the familiar room. “It was a nightmare, Leena. A nightmare,” She whispered and wiped the sweat off her forehead. After a long time she had this nightmare again because Helena slept thinking about that horrible incident which that man with cold blue eyes reminded her of. He opened her old wounds once again, the pain of this nightmare was still raw. Physically, her wounds might have healed but her soul was still bleeding. That ugly night was still fresh in her mind.She still remembered waking up in the hospital bed feeling empty and barren. “We ar
Instinctively, Helena took a step back as fear clutched her senses. Everything she went through in the last seven years passed through her memory lane. The pain, the fear, the struggle, the humiliation and not to mention the baby she lost. They killed her baby and they did all this to snatch her mother’s land from her. “You?” Giovanni Rossi’s eyes hardened, recognizing the girl standing in front of him. Although she had plastered thick makeup on her face, and her body too grew like a woman now, nothing could be hidden away from Giovanni’s sharp eyes.“Helena, is that you?” He asked in a grave tone. She averted her gaze from him, not responding as her legs turned weak suddenly. Was Evan really connected to Rossi? Giovanni eyed her from head to toe. She was supposed to be dead so how come! Helena was wearing an ugly attire worn by waitresses here. “What are you doing here?”Elijah told him that she was dead. But she was clearly not and this could be a problem for Giovanni as this girl
Helena shook her head. “No. We can talk here, out of the car if you want but I am…” Before she could even finish or react Gevin pushed her inside the car and closed the door. “Open this door right now, Mr Rossi or I will scream.” She screeched, hitting the window. “Shut up and sit silently. This is not Evan’s office and he is not here to protect you!” Giovanni hissed. “It won't take me a minute to finish your life, Helena.”“Mr Rossi.” She tried to act brave.Giovanni nodded curtly. She had something he wanted and he was going to take it from her anyhow. When he asked one of his spies to find more about Helena, he was expecting her to be in a relationship with Evan but to his shock this woman was living with a kid, her child. Giovanni’s heir. His blood! His grandson! Giovanni was jolted at the news. But it was something that peaked his interest. “Now listen to me clearly, Helena. You have something I want. And from the past experiences you must know to what level I can go to take
“She has a child, Boss.” Evan who had his eyes closed, gripped the marker in his hand hard and his body went rigid hearing Richard’s reluctant words. “A child?” He demanded in a sharp tone before opening his eyes and throwing a cold gaze to Richard who gave Evan a nod before placing the file in front of him. Evan snapped his eyes to the file and was stunned to read that she lives with a six years old kid. “And surprisingly she is friends with Isabel Ruiz.” Isabel, his best buddy’s wife! Evan looked at her pictures with her son and one of them was from his friend’s marriage which Evan attended but only for an hour. Damn his life! So He couldn't see her there! Evan silently clenched his jaws reading this new piece of information about the woman who turned his nights sleepless for the last seven years. And a child! He didn't understand how to digest this news. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, the woman once again brought restlessness in him and Evan didn't know how
Evan Conan Hemsworth leaned back in his chair and watched Helena with his cold blue eyes assertively. He was still dealing with the shocking information that Helena was a mother of a six-year-old kid! What the fuck had happened during these seven years and who was the bastard of her child? He will surely dig into this later! “Three minutes of your time are already finished, Miss Perez. Did you ask for this meeting to sit in my office like a statue or are you going to say something?” Evan finally asked, his voice deep and authoritative. Helena snatched her eyes from her hands and looked up at Him. She was in deep thoughts of how to ask for his help. Should she start straight away? But time was limited and she couldn't waste it in thinking how to fill him with her situation. “I am sorry, I was thinking, Mr Hemsworth,” She said, her voice breathy as she spoke. Evan squinted his eyes while tapping on the desk thrice with his finger. “You must have done that before coming here, Miss P
“Marry you?” Helena whispered as she was still in a haze over the situation. “But why do you want to marry me?” She asked, Helena was stunned by his absurd demand. Why would the powerful billionaire ask such a thing from her? Evan’s lips stretched as He gave her an estranged smile before leaning back. “You don't have to bother with it, Miss Perez. All you have to do is agree to be my wife and I promise you that no one will be able to glance at you in a wrong manner let alone hurting you and your son will forever be yours.” Helena kept staring at him for a long minute before words finally found her voice. “I want to know why, Mr Hemsworth. What will you get by marrying me? I am nobody.” Evan’s eyes sparkled for a moment, He gazed over her beautiful features. “You will be known as Mrs Evan Conan Hemsworth after marrying me. Is there any better protection for you than wearing my name behind yours as armour, Miss Perez?” He asked, setting his eyes on hers. Helena still looked at h
For a moment, Even couldn't look away from her. Her demand showed him her character. She was a woman who valued her son’s comfort more than her life. Evan was somewhere impressed by her smartness and courage and couldn't wait to see how deep this boldness goes within her. It gave him a thrilling and intriguing kick, at least Helena was nothing like the woman who did the opposite in his past. “A contract marriage,” He said looking straight into her eyes. “But why six months?” He asked even though He guessed it. “I believe the elections are coming after five months, Mr Hemsworth. And I believe you could help me get my revenge on Rossi during these months. So a six-month contract would be fine for us.” Helena shrugged her shoulders, saying a matter of fact. Evan twisted his lips and scratched his trimmed beard in thought. Wasn't she too smart for his likeness? But Helena didn't know whom she was conversing her ideas with. His thought process would start where her ideas would end.
