Will their growing hatred for one another, be another mistake that would lead them to life's twist of separation, or will they eventually give in to the desires of their burning passion and be each other's saving gratification?
View MoreEven knowing that there is nothing they will be able to do to stop Calix and Kaira from continuing their grand displays of affection for one another, James and Enzo cleared their throats in an attempt to put an end to whatever it is that the two have been initiating. James spoke up, "Ehem! Cal, we've got business here." Enzo did the same, trying his best to attract his cousin's attention. "Kaira, please settle down to business, shall we? You know that we don't have much time." It was to be expected, though, that their appeals would be ignored. The couple has been extraordinarily attached to one another. Why wouldn't they? They have been away from each other for so long, and their longing for one another is almost making them lose control. Both James and Enzo could on
Her heart is beating rapidly from the dreaded thought of what is going to take place with this meeting. She is not so sure if he will be true to his word or not. She is uncertain if this can be a trap or if Calix will still give her respect as his wife. Her conflicting emotions about everything are beginning to make themselves known to her as she walks beside Enzo. Enzo whispered to Kaira, "Are you sure about this? Do you think he will come by himself?" She sighed and added, "The one and only thing that I am certain about is that we are not sure about anything at this point, Enz. He won't probably come alone even if that's what we agreed upon. I mean, I didn't even honor that when I brought you here with me." "Your case is different, Cugino. Of course, I won't let you face that man alone."
"What? An undercover agent with a mission to bring my father into jail? What the hell are you talking about?" As expected, Calix has been mirroring the same expression and reaction just like James did when he learned the reports about Kaira. "Yes, Cal, that's what I just said." "Really? You are telling me that Kaira, the heiress of the Lombardi clan, who is next in line to lead the gang and who happens to be my wife, is part of the Italian authorities." He cannot help but ask again in disbelief. He already had an inkling that somewhere behind Kaira's obedience to Giovanni is the reality that she also doesn't want the life that she was given. Yes, he and his wife may be so alike in so many ways, but instead of that helping them to be together, it may seem that their similarities will be the ones that will br
It had been a couple of days since the shipment had failed due to American law enforcement's surprise attack, and she had no idea what went wrong or who was responsible for it. It was very clear from the Italian police that they did not request the presence of the American authorities, but they did welcome the assistance that had been provided during the mission, even though they failed to capture their target, Luca Hendrix. Kaira had been thinking of one thing since then: Her husband and her father-in-law had something to do with this, and this made her come to the realization that only one thing is certain at this point: Luca Hendrix and perhaps Calix Hendrix are both traitors, just as she had predicted from the start. And this is precisely the reason that she finds things so difficult to accept. She can'
"Start a war, why? By "war," what do you even mean?" "War, Calix! We end every fucking member of that bullshit family!" "No way, not in heaven! Are you insane?" Calix exclaimed, immediately getting up from where he was sitting. "Hell no! How could I possibly get into a fight or fucking start a war with my wife's family?" "Calix, you're nothing but bullshit! Now is not an appropriate time for you to turn against me!" "No! There is a proper explanation for this!" "Did you not hear what I just said? They are betraying us; they have betrayed my trust! I was set up by those damn Lombardi's with the Italian and the American cops! It's a good thing that I was able to run away before they caught me."
The fear and confusion in Kaira's voice can be clearly understood in the words she says: "What the hell?! How come? How is he? Have you contacted Alex? Where are they? Shit, Enzo, this is not supposed to happen in there. What went wrong? The instructions were clear that the ambush should take place after the trade deal, isn't it? Are you sure that my father and Alex have escaped the cops?" Her cousin had just informed her that the ambush during the shipment that they had planned for Luca had not gone quite as well as anticipated. They both don't know what happened or why their plan failed, but more than that, they are both worried about Giovanni and Alex, who were both on the scene when it happened. "My men are attempting to reach them, but as of the moment we can't get through. I've been trying to contact Drew again for updates since he is the one who called
Both Luca's squad and Giovanni's camp have had their men on high alert since a few days ago. They have been going back and forth, finalizing everything there is to it for this day, and today is the culmination of all their preparations. Today is another one of those rare and perilous days when everything needs to go exactly as planned. The leaders of the two gangs are expected to be present on this significant day, as it will be their first legally binding shipment as alliance partners. For both crews, security is the top priority. The fulfillment of the shipments is also uncertain, in addition to the lives of the bosses, and that is why outmost diligence and preparedness should be exercised at all times. Nobody should make a mistake, because if they do, they will be punished in the most severe way possible. In o
James pointed out, "Change of plans, Cal." as he walked into Calix's room. "I just got word from your father that he won't be authorizing us to join the crew during the biggest shipment with the Lombardi’s." Calix immediately cursed out, "What the fuck?" as soon as his friend told him the news, obviously not liking it. "What do you mean we are not getting involved? That is just bullshit!" "I am not surprised with this. I have seen this coming considering how wary your father was about the manner in which you spend time with your wife the past few weeks that she has been here," James casually blurted out, shrugging his shoulders in the process. "That means we shift to plan B." "How dare he just change his mind like that? We're ready for that fucking shipment. We have laid out the plans already on how to go about t
"I would really like to apologize, Kaira, that I have to be the one to bring this news to you. You know how much I wanted for you to be there. I have prepared you to be there, but you are also aware that there is absolutely nothing I can do to change the circumstances, but really, to set things straight, I still do not want it to be this way, and I tried to persuade him otherwise." Since Kaira had been anticipating this, she wasn't equally taken aback when Alex came to her office and gave her the news—or more precisely, her father's orders that Enzo and her would not be joining the troops in their biggest shipment. "It's okay, Alex. It is not as if I am not anticipating this at all. I know that he would give orders that would refrain me from taking part in this. And to tell you honestly, I am becoming quite confused with my father nowadays; he wanted me to le
