تسجيل الدخولFour people were seated at a café. Sunlight poured in through the large glass windows, casting an orange glow on the three men, making them look impeccably stunning. Elise found it hard to eat with them always looking at her. It felt as if she was seated with three principals."Elise, what do you like to eat? I'll buy it for you," Liam was eager to please her and do her bidding.Nathan waved the waitress over. He took the menu from her hands and passed it to Elise."What would you like to eat?" he asked, a faint pleasant smile on his lips.The waitress handed out another menu. Just as Damien was about to take it, Nathan snatched it first."Too bad, Mr. D'Augstino, that was the last menu. And I needed it. You'll have to wait your turn," Nathan grinned."No need," with that, Damien recited some of her favorite food. Elise stared at him, wondering how he knew. Her brothers said that they didn't tell him anything.Instead of a simple meal, it felt like a battlefield. When the food arrived
"Okay, stop it! Back off, both of you. If you're so into her, then fight for it. But I just want to remind you of something, Kayden," Nathan said. "You have Jessica and she just lost her child. Your child. You have a commitment from now on,"Liam made a mocking face at Kayden. Unlike him, Liam was free to do whatever he wanted. He wasn't tied down by commitments so he had a bigger chance with Elise.It wasn't just about getting the girl. There was something about Elise that made Liam look twice, and look back on his life. He was wondering why he didn't meet her earlier? It was as if Elise had a charm that pulled him to her.Kayden ended up returning to his private villa to rest. He was very confused and conflicted over his feelings. He downed three bottles of alcohol and fell asleep on the couch.Three days later, Jessica was up and about, walking around. Some of her friends sympathized with her while others secretly laughed behind her back.Kayden spent his days accompanying Jessica,
"How long have you been here?""Just now," he righted her position."And how did you enter?""I snuck in,"Elise's eyes widened."What, Tesoro? Don't look so surprised. Your guards are crap," he chuckled, amused.Elise had googled that nickname. Tesoro means treasure in Italian. So he was calling her treasure, like his treasure."You're not going to stop, are you?""Stop what?""Calling me tesoro,""Would you prefer amore mio? Cucciola? Stella? Pulcino? Cara?""Don't. Stop it," Elise's jaw dropped. It was too much. He was too much. But she had to admit that his Italian was sexy and pleasant sounding to her ears."Or..." He leaned in until their noses almost touched. "Principessa?"Elise leaned back, dodging him. "You know what? I'm going to call the guards to throw you out,""Principessa it is then,""Security!""Are you serious? I came all the way for this," he took the lunchbox he left on the other table and placed it in front of her."I am. Thank you. Now, goodbye," she chased him
"It's nothing," he brushed her question off.He must have gone and met with that bitch, right? Damn that bitch! Even now, she's still clinging onto him. I must make him give up on her completely!"I feel so depressed. I lost your child. What if I can't conceive anymore? Should I... just go and die?" Jessica's eyes were red and teary. She clutched his arm, sobbing. She squeezed her eyes more, making more tears roll out."Jessica, it's okay. We can... have another," Kayden said carefully. He wasn't sure how to comfort a woman or how to be a father. Honestly, he was secretly relieved when the baby was gone. He hadn't completed his goal and taken over the Anderson Group completely. If he had a child at this time, it might distract him from his duties."Really?" Jessica's eyes lit up."Really," Kayden confirmed.She threw her arms around him, embracing him tightly. Now, her wish to really bear his child will come true.In the hallway, Mrs. Paige pulled Kayden aside when he was about to lea
The rumours said that the D'Augstinos were descendants from a Mafia family. They have ties to the Italian Mafia in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and some connections to the Chicago Bratva. They also have ties to the Cosa Nostra and N'drangheta, the Mafia gangs in Italy.That was one of the reasons why the D'Augstinos were feared."Then I don't want to hear it," Elise focused on her waffle. Damien chuckled softly, eyeing her with adoration. When she wasn't paying attention, he snapped a photo of her and set it as his wallpaper and lock screen.After eating, Elise wanted to do the dishes but Damien beat her to it. She was surprised to find that her house had been tidied up and cleaned so meticulously."I didn't touch your treasure chest. No worries," Damien's voice came from behind her."You... Who asked you to clean up my private space?!""Myself,""Damien, you—""You what? If you're angry, just let it out. Hit me,"Elise reeled in her anger, glaring at him. All in all, he was jus
Maria softened her tone and adopted a friendlier stance, attempting to get into his good graces. "Hi, mister. I'm Maria Anderson. May I know who you are?"However, he brushed past her as if she were nothing and headed straight for Elise. Elise looked up to find him staring at her with unnerving intensity."Let's go home," he said to her gently.Maria was shocked. This man was obviously on Elise's side. Kayden narrowed his eyes. He knew this man.Damien D'Augstino. American-Italian, and his rival."Elise can't leave! I'll sue you! Elise took a life. She must pay for murdering a child! A child, for god's sake!" Mrs. Paige yelled as Damien began to lead Elise away, with Ellison following."Then sue," Damien retorted, not sparing them a glance as he put his hand behind Elise's back and guided her out."Wait!" Kayden called. He wanted to talk to Elise, but Ellison blocked his way. Behind Ellison, two bodyguards appeared, looking ready for a fight.But Elise didn't wait. She let Damien lead
"Grandma, does this feel better?" "Hmm... Very. You're so skillful and talented," Elise let out a cheerful laugh, her eyes twinkling. "Thank you for your praise," "Do you have grandparents? Sorry if I'm being bothersome or rude," Naty su
Kayden was upset with his grandma, but he had no choice but to listen. After all, his grandma had taught him and saved his life before. He knew that she cared for him and was probably worried. However, he didn't agree with her decision to kick Jessica out. "Grandma, Jessica is the
"What?! Where do I have such money? You're my brother; you're supposed to do something! You have more money than me!" "I'm your brother, but I'm not your cleaner, and I'm not in charge of cleaning up every mess you make!" Kayden snapped. "Don't forget. The man's crippled for life. He lost his job
"How did this happen!?" Amanda shrieked, after watching the news on the TV. She flung the remote across the room. There were footage of James beating up someone at a club and videos of James kneeling and apologizing. "Elise just wants to bring me down, doesn't she?"
