LOGINChapter 178Leone’s brows furrowed, his brain working fast. Why hadn’t he thought of this fuckin’ possibility sooner!?He threw his head back, a sinister chuckle slipping past his lips.“Merda!” he cursed in Italian, roughly throwing Ferdinand across the floor.“How convenient,” Massimo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He walked up to Ferdinand, who was still groaning in pain from the force Leone had used to throw him on the floor.Massimo roughly pulled him by the collar. At this point, Ferdinand could barely keep his eyes open due to the pain he felt. There was no use asking for the guy’s contact details because everyone knew how these sorts of operations worked. No one was stupid enough to give out their contact and risk being caught.“I assume you’re done with him?” Massimo threw a fleeting glance at Leone.Ferdinand began to tremble, his lips quivering as he prayed for Leone to say something to stop this devil from killing him.“Do whatever,” Leone simply shrugged, stepping out of t
Chapter 177His legs took quick strides down the hallway. He was dressed in a crisp black suit, his black midnight hair combed backwards, while two rebellious thick strands hovered over his face.His jaw hardened as he remembered Anna’s last words to him before he left her in the room. It only made him even madder at himself for the trauma he had put her through, for all the promises he had failed to uphold. He must have hurt her so much. For that fleeting moment, he could clearly see the pain that flashed through her eyes.Despite how she tried to put up a brave face, he knew he had shattered her completely by his incompetence, and now nothing mattered more than making it up to her. He’d do anything just to make her happy at this point.She was right… no explanation could cover for what he did… what he didn’t do rather. He had failed to protect her, especially when she had needed him the most.He felt this heavy lump in his throat; his chest tightened.“Everything good?”He didn’t ev
Chapter 176Her stomach churned with anxiety as the time ran fast. According to Leone, the said man was supposed to arrive here at exactly 8 p.m.After pacing for a while, she sat on the small couch from where she could feel Leone’s eyes on her, who appeared to be considerably calmer than she was.She could have easily pegged it as him not caring enough about them, but here they were—because of him, they had only gotten this far ’cause he had worked hard on the investigation. Her eyes fell on his bruised fingers.She stood up from the couch, she moved towards one of the cupboards, she pulled it open and searched with her eyes.“What are you searching for?” he asked curiously, but she didn’t respond immediately.Her eyes lit up when she found the first aid box. Thankfully, the hotel was gracious enough to have one kept in case of emergencies.She watched his perfectly shaped eyebrow arch as she approached him with the first aid box. She took her lips in, her heart racing a bit as she s
Chapter 175 The car came to a slow halt, Anna quickly got down, the memory of how he had locked her in his car still fresh in her head.Her eyes swept through her surroundings; it was a desolated area, a few shabby buildings were built around and aside that, this place was empty.Leone came to stand next to her. Thankfully, he was considerably calmer now, perhaps the long ride had made him calm. That was good as he would need a clear head to handle this.“Where is this place?” she asked him. Despite staying in this town for six years, she hadn’t been here before.Is this where her kids were being held? It seemed like a perfect spot for kidnappers to operate but one could never be sure.“Why are we here?” Anna attempted to take a step forward, but he stopped her.“According to the driver, they had made a stop here. They had all spent the night here along with the kids.”Her heart squeezed upon Leone’s words. The kids had been here. She pondered on the possibility of her being here exa
Chapter 174Anna’s eyes widened immediately, her skin crawling as his lips made contact with hers. Her hand instantly moved to his chest to push him away, but he didn’t budge, and just as she was about to attempt pushing him again, someone else pulled him away from her.It was Leone, eyes blazing with anger, and without a flicker of hesitation, he pulled Rocco by his shirt, punching him right in the face for his lips to burst instantly.Anna stood starstruck, watching him fume with rage. He rained several punches on him; Rocco fell flat on the ground, and Leone loomed above him, continuously delivering punches to his face.Anna barely had a second to wrap her head around what was going on, but it seemed like Leone wasn’t ready to stop until Rocco was dead.She was extremely angry about what he did and wanted to tear him apart too, but that didn’t mean she wanted him to die.People had gathered to watch the scene, but none dared to intervene as they easily deduced they would never be a
Chapter 73His firm grip on her snapped her out of her thoughts. She badly wanted to stomp his foot so hard, but seeing how he had finally allowed her to come with him, she couldn’t risk it.Rocco’s face contorted in displeasure, his gaze firmly fixed on Leone’s hand, which was possessively curled around her waist. He discreetly clenched his fist so hard to calm himself down.He had been trying to win Anna’s heart and trust for years, and now finally—finally—she had proposed an offer to him, one where they would finally be married. But this devil just had to show his damned face that day and ruin everything. Now Anna had no further marriage plans with him, and here he was, sneaking his way back into her life.His brain noted how annoyingly brave he was to hold Anna like that. He hadn’t just sneaked in; he had shown up from nowhere and snatched her away. He also couldn’t help but blame Anna too. Had she forgotten so quickly how he had abandoned her for six damn years? Hell! She would b
