Third person Pov

"Aunt Liz, don't you think the man in the cafe who saved us somehow looks exactly like me," Liam asked Aunt Liz, who was preparing pasta.

In the evening, Liam talked to his mother, who said she had to go somewhere, but she said she would try to return soon. But he was feeling very anxious to meet Katherine. So, Liz said that if he kept himself calm for a while, then she would make pasta for him, and that was what she was doing.

"I didn't look that closely, to be honest, because the only thing I had noticed at that moment was the gun in his hands. I don't know how you stood with him without any fear. You didn't shout at all. You didn't try to escape. Weren't you scared?" Liz said, stopping her knife on the onion.

"No, why would I be scared. All he was doing was protecting me. He also told me to forget whatever I had seen there because he cared for me," Liam said, his tone hopeful.

Just then, cutting off his words, Liz came out of the kitchen, holding a knife in

    ★★★★★Katherine's PovI was constantly looking back and forth between the necklace on the stage kept in a glass box and the devil next to me who could be seen angry.No matter how much I tried to understand the reason behind it, undoubtedly, it was quite difficult to unveil it. So, I asked, "The piece of jewelry is stunning. Is there any particular reason behind it that you look so captured? Are you thinking of wearing it?" I giggled, imagining the picture of him wearing the necklace.Oh! As long as I watched him being angry and sad, I felt an inexplicable happiness in my little heart.He, in response, gave me a cold and distant look that displayed he was not in the mood to entertain with any humor. At the same time, I felt the jewelry on the stage truly had an importance for this devil."Does he want to gift this jewelry to someone and is afraid that he might lose it in the bid?" I wondered."100 million," a voice shouted, and I jerked my head toward the voice.'Hundred Million, Oh m

    ★★★★★Katherine "Bang!" A loud gunshot erupted and I placed my hands on my ears. Meanwhile, the people in the arena started running toward the exit to save their lives. The unannounced fear startled people in a way they did not dare to look back or try to see what exactly occurred on the stage.When I looked towards the stage, I found a man dead, lying in a pool of blood. What left me in shock was the man, who was earlier smoking the cigar, now had a gun in his hand and his gun was aiming at Zac. I did not understand what was going on. My shaking hands reached for Zac to ask him to lower the gun, when suddenly he fired again, and this time, the glass shattered containing the necklace. Meanwhile, I lowered my head and crawled my way to the vacant side since I loved my life and it was in danger. I didn't want to give up my life because of this man's madness."God, I have a son. Help me out!" I clutched my fist tightly and kept crawling. Then I heard the sound of multiple gunshots,

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   The car was trying to kill me

    ★★★★ Katherine The pain I felt in my shoulder was being transmitted to my brain. As a result, I forgot for a few seconds that I had to run from there. "Hit her!" When I heard this, I looked behind and grabbed the stick which was about to strike my head, and I knew if that happened, I would have lost my life. I coldly looked at her and said, "I am not weak!" And I pushed her against the wall before trying to snatch the stick. However, that woman was strong, really strong, which was why I had to put more strength into snatching the hockey stick at the time. Without me being alarmed, she kicked me into my stomach, and my body jerked down. However, I didn't let the stick go. So the following second I was able to seize the stick. My anger was at its peak, overshadowing my pain. At the time, The woman was again attempting to kick me, but I let her see who was in charge. I wrapped my fingers tightly around the narrow edge of The stick, lifting a little, and smashing the stick on h

  • One-night stand with a Ruthless Mafia; He has a son   The horror part 2

    ★★★★★Katherine I watched the black car slam again into the silver Audi. The side of the car had completely twisted like paper. The windows exploded like a hail of glass. Under no circumstances could anyone who was inside it survive this Collison. The black car swerved backward until it reached the middle of the road. Meanwhile, I had lost the power to think anything and couldn't move an inch from the road.My horror-filled gaze moved toward the destroyed car, and I saw someone open the already broken door and crawl out of it. It was a woman, who bathed with blood, and she required emergency help. I watched her struggling to stand as she gazed toward me."Help me!" She muttered as blood came out of her mouth. Before I could think of anything and understand what to do, the same car that was standing in front of me, the black car, moved straight ahead and crushed the woman. Fear erupted like a volcano in front of my eyes. I could not imagine that a woman who was still alive a minute

Now you tell me what you think Zac would do to your daughter? Think worse," Roman Helmond said straight and curtly. Neither did he try to console his brother nor did he hope his son would forgive because she was his family. "My daughter can do anything she wants but that does not mean that he would harm my daughter for a prostitute," Henry Helmond yelled, "She is his sister!" "He uses Bratva, his mother's name. Do you think he has any sympathy for you and me? Come on. Your daughter foolishly strikes the woman in his presence. Look, I can't say that he grew love for that woman he brought to the party, but I know he just wants a chance to take revenge on us, and he has got it." "Oh, I don't care what your son has planning. I want my daughter without any harm," Henry Helmond yelled, his eyes s

    ★★★★Katherine "Stop lying through your teeth. Your house has lots of maids and servants," I argued, narrowing my eyes. I knew he deliberately causing trouble for me."You don't know where you are? You fainted in the car, so I brought you to this small house, and I have never appointed any servants or maids in this house. Actually, not many people know about this place of mine. You are the first," he said, "You still have a chance to ask for help. If I leave now, the shoulder of yours will be your responsibility.""You are.... ugh!" I couldn't manage a curse word to attack him. "There is nothing special on your body so it is up to you what you want to do. Otherwise, bye," he said with a casual tone and began walking, shifting his head toward the door.I had no other option but to accept his offer because no matter how much I screamed, my hands were not reaching my back and if I tried hard, the pain would increase even more."Wait," I said and he halted.He looked at me with a straig

    ★★★★★Katherine "You know what I mean, Katherine! I was not blind, but you were," he replied, leaving nothing but sheer fear within me. My heart stopped for a moment before I decided to face it. "I don't understand," I said, trying to be confident. But I was a fool, thinking the day would never return to my life, I would never face my past. Suddenly, he swung me around and grabbed my chin as he pulled me up, holding my chin; my eyes met with angry eyes. "I never appreciated betraying! Whereas you backstabbed my kindness," he said, anger brewing in his gaze."Let me go!" I hissed, slapping his hand as the sheet slid down to my chest, leaving me utterly exposed. But at that time, I was not in a situation to pay attention to myself because I could feel a disaster was rushing toward me."I won't let you go, darling," he said with icy detachment. "The moment you heard my name on the microphone, you understood that the doubt that was in your heart was actually the reality.""Your actio

    ★★★★★Zac Bratva "No one can like the same thing longer, nor am I thinking of having an interest in you forever," I coldly said and captured his lips; my aggression pulled deep into the kiss. Since the day I bumped into her, the amount of anger to make a life hell burned within me, but for some reason, I could not do anything to her. I felt weak, and quiet around her. When Stephanie spoke my name on the microphone, I was quick to capture her expression, which told me the ground beneath her feet shook. She had doubted me for a while, but she was not ready to accept that. In the meantime, she kept thinking that until I approached her, she would keep her mouth shut. Still, I could not get angry with this woman and I let her do whatever she wanted. Until I came to know that this woman had made all the arrangements to run away again, in fact, she had even made arrangements to leave the country by tomorrow evening."Fuck!" I had lost all my patience. The only thing that left for me was

    ★★★★"Bastard, you have cast your ominous shadow upon that child. How dare you provoke him to meet you, then take the opportunity and harm him? What crime did he commit that you are thinking of giving him such a severe punishment?" Jacky shouted at Zac, grabbing his collar. He tightened his fist again to give Zac another blow, but this time, Jacky could not do that.Because his fist was grabbed by Zac, and he sent a blow right to Jacky's face, causing his nose to bleed as Jacky staggered back."And how much harm do you intend to cause?" Katherine shouted at Zac, approaching him with tear-filled Eyes. Ever since she met this man, all she saw in her life was ruin and misery."Miss Catherine Boss has no hand in all this, nor did she want to see anything like this happen with Liam, believe me, just this incident!" Carlo tried to calm Katherine down by telling her the truth, but Katherine sharply shifted her attention toward Carlo, giving him a menacing look before turning back at Zac, thr

    ★★★★★"What do you want me to do? There is nothing I can do to change the truth. Besides, there are similarities between them. The other day, Juliana was talking about that. I mean if one could see them both, they would have raised the same question," Said Jacky, brushing his hair back with the help of his fingers. His frustration was evident."I know there is nothing you can do about it, but I am desperate to get help," said Katherine as she let out a long sigh. There was sadness and fear that settled together in her gaze. Seeing that, Jacky extended his hand, touching Katherine's shoulder, who bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying."KAT," He paused, his palm reaching for her cheek to soothe her tension, but his intention was quickly brought to a halt by a call on his phone.His hand paused in the air, and he then clenched his hand into a fist before withdrawing it from Katherine's face. A silent anger brushed past his eyes.He took the phone out of his pocket and saw Liz's n

    ★★★★Meanwhile, Liam and Zac were enjoying the golf, which Zac took the initiative to teach Liam.Although his mind was urging him to speak out about the truth to Liam and pull him to his chest in a hug, he wanted to live some moments like this. Once Liam became aware of the truth, he would have a lot of questions in his heart."I must say this is a very interesting game, but hard too.. It takes a lot of practice to be so smooth like you," said Liam, wrapping his fingers tightly around the golf stick."At your age, I had hardly been to a golf field. Now, all you need to do is focus. First, hold your attention on the ball since you are going to hit that, and then take your focus to the point. Furthermore, relax your body," Zac said next to Liam's ear as he too bent forward at Liam's height with his body covered by him as Zac placed his big hands on Liam's."I am nervous!" Liam muttered as he looked toward the far end, focusing. The point where he wanted to shoot the ball. He exhaled as

    ★★★★★Katherine wiped her tears away and stepped out of the car. Her feet wobbled as she grabbed hold of the edge of the door. She recalled her bag falling from her shoulder outside the office. Suddenly, she heard Cesar shouting, "Who are you, bastard?"Such a sentence drew her attention, and she realized Zac was not there but rather someone else. The realization caused further fear in her, and she dragged her feet toward the hood of the car. She watched Cesar was slammed against the car with a kick from Jacky. A surprise struck her face, and for a second, she forgot to move; hence, when Cesar rushed toward Jacky with a knife in his hand, Katherine panicked.She shouted, "Jacky, watch out!" But then she saw Jacky bringing out a gun from his waist. She could hardly ever have thought of seeing a gun in Jacky's possession.Before she could adjust her mind to the scenario, she saw Jacky pull the trigger of the gun, and the bullet hit Cesar directly in the arm, spattering blood on the hood

    ★★★★Katherine gave Cesar a disgusted look and spat, "You are the last person I will think of getting help. I will find him by myself!" Katherine began walking, brushing past Cesar who narrowed his eyes as he glared strongly at Katherine. He did not know anything about Zac's whereabouts nor did he need to know about him. His only intention was to take Catherine with him." I said I know where my brother is; hence, you have to listen to me," said Cesar, gabbing Katherine by her arm, who hissed since the grip of his was causing pain in her skin."You are hurting me. How dare you touch me?" Snapping at Cesar, Katherine tried to jerk her hand off from his grip, but she failed to do that. Cesar, meanwhile, gave Katherine a triumphant look and uttered, "It's time for that bastard to pay back to our family. But I am going to enjoy your company first since I want to see what has made my brother so infatuated." "You, jerk, let go of my hand," Katherine yelled at Cesar as she looked around to

    ★★★★"Well, I have a fantastic, hardworking, and pretty mother," Liam answered Zac with a huge smile on his face. "She takes care of me well, but she has a bad habit of taking too much stress even on small matters.""Your father. Are you not going to address his special qualities?" Said Zac with eagerness in his voice to know why Liam had nothing to say about his father."I don't have a father," Liam said, keeping his gaze on Zac as he did not let the disappointment rise in his eyes. "My mother said he left us before I was born. Hence, I have never thought of him or added him as a part of the family."The subtle change on Zac's face after hearing Liam's answer was quite astonishing as if he felt deep within what Liam held himself from expressing.He lightly patted Liam on the shoulder and replied, "What kind of game do you like to play?" He shifted the conversation, and this change also relaxed Liam, who could be seen exhaling. He did not usually talk about his father to his mother; h

    ★★★★★ "Liz, where can he go? He knows no one in the city. What would happen if someone kidnapped him or ....!?" Katherine felt her heart squeezed by a big palm as she thought of the possibility that could take place with her baby boy, who was wandering alone on the road. "Quit thinking worse, Kat. I am stressed, too, but your words are killing my patience, and I can not think of anything rational," Liz grumbled angrily because she, too, was frustrated over Liam's absence. She paced back and forth while her cell phone was tightly clutched in her palm, thinking of calling someone who could help them with the situation. "How could I stay calm, Liz?" Katherine shouted, clutching her hair tightly in between her fingers. The tension almost reached her eyes, making them misty. " where can he go? I don't understand why he thought of leaving in this way." "Kat, There is something I didn't mention to you," Liz said as she bit her lower lip. She didn't think she would have to tell Kather

    ★★★★★From here, I am going to write in Third POV because I want to bring more depth into the story. But, I am going to make sure whoever is reading this story will not have any problem with it.★★When Zac arrived at the address the boy had texted him earlier, he did not see any trace of him at that place so he decided to go out and watch for him. But suddenly the driver said, interrupting his action, "Boss, you stay inside, and I am going out to find him.""He doesn't know you. Perhaps your sudden approach would scare him," Zac stated to the driver with a light tone, dismissing his quick help as he stepped out of the car. Through his sunglasses, he wandered his eyes around, looking for that boy as well as skeptical whether the boy got lost or something. Hence, to confirm his whereabouts, Zac brought out his phone and dialed his number, but surprisingly, his call did not go through because the phone was switched off.A deep, tensed frown marked his forehead, and he removed his sungla

    ★★★★★ Zac Bratva Since the moment I got a call from Carlo, who mentioned the boy had reached out to me, I was thrilled as if some sort of exciting bolt rushed through my veins. Because of the fight, I left my phone in the car. Hence, I did not know the boy was sending texts to me. I could have dragged Katherine with me, but I did not think the boy would be comfortable with her. So I allowed her to have time for herself. She must not complain later. "Boss, here is the information I got my hands on, and according to the information, The Attack had not been plotted by your father; it was someone else. Besides that, it was not Harvey, not any other gang member. It was someone who does not belong to the underworld," Carlo said, his hand extending with the papers as I climbed down the stairs. I took the file and opened it, my expression was serious. The bullets the people used were different, so I questioned, shutting the file back, "Are these bullets from....?" I frowned "Yes, boss,
