Ira watched Olivia in anticipation as she threw angry blows at the punching bag hanging above her.It was frightening to see such a timid and calm girl taking it into the bag. The anger and aggression with each blow were frighteningShe had never seen Olivia with such rage. She was even doing it better than her who had been in the mafia world her entire lifesitting in a corner sipping on the bottle of cold water.Ira was stupefied. Almost shocked. It seemed jealousy and anger went togetherWhenever a woman was jealous, it was dangerous territory. Watching Olivia punch the bag with all her might made her recall something.A certain memory she had buried deep in her. The girl, dressed in red, was doing the same thing Olivia was doing. Venting her anger at the poor punching bag.“Hey, hey… that's enough, “Ira said, having had enough of Olivia torturing herself.“Stay… away,” Olivia said with heavy breaths as she continued hitting the target. Every blow made a sharp impact.“Whose face ar
Olivia was aware that seeing Sydney was risky. However, she couldn't help it. She missed her friend more than anything, Sydney was all alone. Even if she had to go against Pedro, then so be it. “It's nice to have you here, Livia,” Sydney said with a smile. Ira nodded while munching on the snacks Olivia and Sydney were ignoring. “Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be having more frequent outings” Olivia said with a chuckle. After a long time, she felt refreshed. The times she used to talk to Sydney. Both used to go out however they wanted. However, now, she had to pretend to be someone else. The three continued eating and talking about random things. The entire time, Ira kept quiet. She didn't come to chit-chat, but to watch Olivia. Making sure she didn't blow her cover. “I still can't say… I mean, that family is going down… god knows who's trying to end them,” Sydney said with a questionable expression. As much as she wanted the Garcia's to pay. She felt bad for Alfredo. “They deserve i
“A-are you okay… let me see,''Sydney was desperate as she tried to inspect Alfredo's body. Just now, a gunshot fired their way and hit the window of Alfredo's car. Luckily, he got out of the way, ending up falling to the ground. “I'm… I'm fine. Don't…” Alfredo muttered as he pushed himself up and grabbed Sydney's shoulders. “No, did it hit you? Someone help me!” Sydney shouted for help again. The two security men had run to where the gunshots came from. “I'm okay… see, It missed,“ Alfredo said, showing her his chest, Sydney didn't even know how she ripped his shirt apart revealing his upper body. Both were sitting on the ground, inspecting each other. “Are you certain… how are you?” Sydney was in tears as she threw herself in his arms, catching Alfredo off guard. Sitting there with Sydney hugging him as if her life depended on it. Time passed by and Sydney sobbed in Alfredo's arms. Both took their time, Alfredo relaxed as he held Sydney close to him. Letting her calm down before
Olivia expected Solange to show up. Unfortunately, it was her father who showed himself. A refined old man. Well-kept with a shrewd personality. One would say he wasn't old. However, his silver hair showed it all. She guessed the man must have had a fair share of women in his early age, seeing how handsome he was. Despite the few wrinkles on his face. He still had a sharp jaw. Bewitching dark eyes and a striking personality. One would say he, the man, was trying too hard to be a good person. Even in an expensive suit, his protruding belly was visible. “So you are the girl making my daughter cry,” the man said, standing before Olivia. By now, Olivia had gotten hold of his name. The man turned out to be familiar. Although he couldn't recognize her due to the change in their face, however, she still recalled his face perfectly well. “A girl out of nowhere… wanting what my daughter has,” the man remarked shamelessly. Olivia wanted to be free and strangle him to death. Once she saw the m
“You didn't have to do this. It's not like I'm dead,” Alfredo said when Sydney brought him breakfast in bed. He wasn't shot. However, the woman was treating him like a special case. “I know… it's just that I can't let you die without giving me my first salary,” Sydney said and watched him eat. Alfredo gave a helpless smile, “So all this is about money?” “Yeah… I've worked for two weeks … if you die I won't ever get my payment,” Sydney remarked, she felt bad about all this. As much as she wished for the Garcias to pay. It wasn't clear to her why witnessing the scene the previous night made her agitated. Someone tried to shoot Alfredo, just like they did with Luciano. “I'm sure you would have loved it if… I died… that way you would have gotten your revenge,” Alfredo said while eating his food. She made delicious omelets. And pancakes just the way he liked it. It had been a while since he ate good food prepared with love. Silence fell in the room. Sydney swore her breathing could be
Pedro had gotten Olivia safely back to the villa. It had been a long night, but he did his best to make sure she was safe. Jason Philips was a fool to trust him again. After what happened. Pedro was certain. The man would still want to hurt Olivia. “Boss… everything is good,” one of Pedro's men said, handing him two guns. Pedro took the guns and nodded at him. “Go back and burn the warehouse… give Jason a taste of his medicine,” Pedro ordered, and the man nodded with a bow. “And boss, something happened,” the man said hesitantly when Pedro was about to walk back upstairs. “Did something happen?” Pedro asked suspiciously. “It's about well… Mr. Zane tried a murder attempt against Mr. Alfredo Garcia” the man finally said nervously, “Punish him the right way…” Pedro said and made his way to the stairs. Zane was insane to attempt something without asking for permission. Pedro reached Olivia's bedroom door just in time to change her bandages. “You came…” Olivia said and tried to stan
Olivia stepped into the shower. She was feeling a bit bad. However, Pedro had done more than enough to take care of her. The man was cold but caring, for a mafia man, Pedro wasn't so bad. At times, he appeared to be scary. However, with time. She learned that every person has a soft heart. Olivia smiled faintly and finished up her shower. In two days, it will be her parents' death anniversary. She didn't even know if it was a death anniversary, but all she knew was that. In two days it would be her birthday. A year ago, she celebrated her last brother's birthday because now it was the cruel day when her family died, and her child was brutally killed. Her little brother was innocent, Lalo had a bright future ahead of him. The Garcias did all that to hurt her. Olivia sat in her chair in front of the mirror looking at her reflection. She didn't know who she was anymore. There was no more Olivia. She thought one day she would wake up and everything would be a dream, unfortunately tha
“Get away… get away!” Antonia was like a mad woman once she excluded the bathroom from fright and started throwing things around her room…breaking stuff and shouting for help. She didn't stop until the bedroom door opened and Bianca and Alfredo, who heard the noises, rushed in. “Mom! Stop it now!” Alfredo held his mom, stopping her from breaking things around. Bianca called for the servants to help them… Antonia didn't stop shouting and protesting, even when she was shoved on the bed. The two doctors attending to Luciano rushed in to see what was happening. “She… I saw her… she was there… She came” Antonia kept saying. “Mom stop it… please just like down” Alfredo coaxed, not sure what happened to his mom for her to go crazy so suddenly. She was fine a while ago, so now what. “Get out already!” Antonia shouted at the doctors and servants to leave. Out of fear, they stormed out of the room, leaving Bianca and Alfredo sitting on the bed beside their mother. “Mom, what's all this, hu
