LOGINChapter 164 Anna’s heart raced in her chest as the car sped down the lonely road. She anticipated what was going to unfold the moment they got there and while she appeared restless and imbalanced, Leone wore a rather calm expression on his face.She watched how he seamlessly navigated the steering wheel with one hand while the other held his phone close to his ear.“Did you dispose of the witness like I requested?” He spoke in Italian, all of which Anna could now understand as she had spent a decent amount of time learning the language and now she was fluent.Having engaged in business transactions with countries far and near, she had made sure she was well versed in different foreign languages. Unlike her shortcomings during her stay at the Vicenzo empire, things were different now.She noticed that this side of the road had thick forest on either side of it. She switched on her phone to discover there was no reception.“A blockade,” she noted to herself, her lips pressed into a thi
Chapter 163When Anna arrived back at the empire, she met Rocco, who had been waiting for her.“Where have you been?” he asked, with his hands crossed.Anna clutched the straps of her bag as Leone’s words replayed in her head. She was not to tell anyone about their development, and also, she didn’t want to tell anyone that they were working together either. They would ask questions she didn’t have the energy to give answers to.“I had to search for the kids,” Anna answered, avoiding eye contact with him.“At where?” Rocco’s eyes gauged her suspiciously.Anna sighed, folding her arms underneath her chest. “Why are you asking me so many questions? Do you have any update on the kids’ whereabouts or not?”Rocco pocketed both his hands. “I can’t help but be worried, especially since we haven’t been able to find the kids. Who knows? The kidnapper might be planning to take you next. We can’t be too careful.”Seems like this idiot didn’t know who he was talking to. She was the frigging ex-Don
Chapter 162Her eyelids fluttered as his words resounded in her ears. Wait a minute—was he jealous? Her lips cracked into a jeering smile.“I can’t believe—”“Or else you no longer want us to be partners in this search,” he cut her off before her words could land. “Take it however you want. You are also not allowed to give out information about our progress on finding the kids.”He bit his lower lip hard. What on earth gave him the right to even say that? She almost yelled at him and walked off, but this man had been the one to find a lead in less than twenty-four hours of searching. Her mind reverted back to the time he found her in the slave establishment. The bitter truth was this man was good at it; he was good at tracking people down, and in a swift way at that—just like how he kept finding her.Also, the kids came first. There was no time for banter when that time could be put into finding them. Above all, they came first. Only God knew what kind of situation they were in, and s
Chapter 161Even the sound of that man speaking to her over the phone had his blood boiling with rage, he just couldn’t wait to rip him apart, limb by limb. No, he would make sure to stretch his torment for years, he would beg for death but that would not be given to him.Every night, the scene of him kissing Anna replayed in his head, it haunted his dreams and he could barely sleep. On those sleepless nights, he stayed awake orchestrating different ways he could show that man just what hell tastes like.Worse of all, if he hadn’t shown up at the nick of time that day, they would’ve been married by now, the thought of him having his hands on her body made him want to drain every drop of blood in his body.Not like he couldn’t, not like killing him when Anna had first mentioned his name in Vicenzo empire was an impossible task for him, it’s just that he didn’t want to hurt Anna’s feelings. Although he had tried to find him, who knew that the rat was hiding in Pietro empire? He’d never
Chapter 160 Anna clutched the strap of her bag tightly. No, she mustn’t give in. She wouldn’t. She was here with him to find the kids and that was it. When she left him after he had brought her to Hong Kong, she thought that would be the last time she would breathe the same air he did, but she had been dead wrong. Things had taken a sharp turn in such a way that they had met on countless occasions after that.She took a deep breath in, tipping her chin up, her eyes met his briefly and then she stepped into the car. Leone got back in and then he drove them out of there.Anna pressed her lips tightly as the drive continued. She looked outside the window, her mind helplessly drifting back to the time they had gone on a drive just like this one in Madagascar. A smile nearly formed on her lips but she instantly bit down on her lips.Once upon a time, he was her Prince Charming. She had never thought he would become her worst nightmare. He had broken her, his betrayal had crumbled her in p
Chapter 159 She placed her smaller hand in his, he gently ran his thumb over her fingers, she shivered, not from the cold but from something else.She cleared her throat, pulling her hand away from his hold and then she stood on her feet, now coming face to face with him…more like she craned her neck to stare at him while he stared down at her. Even while she wore heels she couldn’t match his enormous height.Now staring directly at him, she realized how close he was to her as they were now standing underneath his black umbrella. She attempted to take a step back from him but her leg came in contact with the front of her car.She took her lips to wet them, now that she wasn’t so emotional about how things were going. She tilted her head up, staring at him dead in the eye; “You don’t have to bother yourself with this, I can find the kids myself, my men are the most skilled in the country and we would be—““It wasn’t a question your highness, I know I’m the worst father ever but that d
