Ana’s POV

I picked up the phone and dialed Katerina's number, my mind still reeling from the scene I'd just witnessed. Rosalia was practically throwing herself at Massimo, and he didn't seem to be pushing her away. I shook my head, trying to clear it.

‘Why was I letting this get to me? I was his wife, after all.’ I muttered.

My phone rang right away and I picked up without hesitation. It was a familiar voice and that of my sister. I felt a pang of guilt for calling her for a week now and that was the only thing which pierced me. I listened carefully to her as she called my name.

"Ana, how are you?" she asked, her voice warm.

"I'm fine, Katya," I replied, trying to sound calmer than I felt. "Just a little...frustrated."

Katerina chuckled. "What's going on? Tell me everything."

I took a deep breath and launched into a detailed account of Rosalia's antics and my own insecurities while Katerina listened.

  • THE LIES THAT BIND   Chapter 93

    Ana’s POV. I was lost in thought. My mind kept wandering back to what had almost happened downstairs. What if they had seen me? Would it have changed everything? I couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty. As I sat there, my eyes fixed on the wall, I heard a knock on the door. I turned, expecting it to be housekeeping with some fresh towels or linens. "Who is it?" I called out."Marco," a deep voice replied.‘Marco? I didn’t ask him to come upstairs, why would he even want to come into this room?’ I muttered as I stood to my feet and peered through the window to see if I had any signs of Enzo and Vanesa. “My lady?” He voiced and knocked for the second time. “Just a second Marco, I’m changing,” I replied. I wasn’t changing at all. I was just getting anxious about the whole drama and thought maybe I should hesitate for a while. I opened the door, and Marco stood there, his expression serious. "My lady, I’ve been trying to reach you on the phone since the past 10 minutes but y

    Massimo’s POV. Drugs. That's all that filled my head as I walked around my office and searched for the paper where I wrote down the number of the new dealer. Rome told me about him a few days back and from all I could sense, he was going to be from Russia. His name sounded so familiar, just like someone I had been entangled with from the past. My head ached me as I tried to look through the drawer before I felt a pang on my chest as I coughed for a moment. “Damn, what the hell did I take?” I muttered as I turned to the door and realized someone was already trying to have it turned anti clockwise. Someone was about to enter the office. “Who’s there?” I called out, with a hope of having either Rome or maybe one of the other staffs reply but to my surprise, it was none other but; “Hey! Why are you here?!” I scolded. My eyes fixed at her face and the sexy gown she wore. I could sense a feeling of betrayal from her at the moment. Rosalia Hazelwood. “What do you mean by that? Massimo

    Massimo’s POV. I was chilling in the mansion when I heard some commotion outside. I looked out the window and saw a sleek, red Ferrari pull up. I studied the gestures of the men outside. They were like, "Who's that?" and "What's up with the fancy car?" I knew that car belonged to my cousin Enzo. He loved showin' off his wealth, and that Ferrari was his latest toy. I watched as he stepped out, smoking a giant cigar like he was some kind of boss. He didn't even bother to greet anyone, just strutted towards the door like he owned the place.Rome wasn't having it. He stepped in front of Enzo, blocking his path. "Hey, you're not invited," Rome said, his voice firm. Enzo looked surprised, but then his face turned all red with anger."What's your problem, Rome?" Enzo snapped, his voice rising. "I'm Still a de Luca, for crying out loud!" Rome didn't budge. "I don't care if you're related to God himself, you're not getting in without Massimo’s authorization."Enzo's face turned uglier by t

  • THE LIES THAT BIND   Chapter 89

    Massimo’s POV. I was trying to go through the files Rosalia had dropped last night. There were so many and I was trying to make things look so easy for me. I had a phone call at the moment and at the time, I was so confused and trying to get a hold of the phone. I tried to make sure that I didn’t take the phone call when I felt biased. I stood at the balcony and tried to have a clearer view of the premises before I answered the phone. “Hello, who is this?” I inquired as I had a sip from the glass in my hands. “Massimo, I’ve been trying to call you for some time now, where have you been all this while?” The voice echoed. I was trying to have a sensation of something. It was a very serious and traumatizing sight for me to behold. “Hello, Massimo, what is the meaning of this? Why aren’t you answering me? Been trying to reach you for a while. You hadn’t got back to me,” I tried to listen to the voice again but at the moment, I had just one person in my mind. I exhaled and nodded befo

  • THE LIES THAT BIND   Chapter 88

    Ana’s POV. I couldn’t believe Rosalia would be in my life again. The last time we met was at the birthday party of Massimo’s friend. I felt a pang of guilt for not dealing with her mercilessly when I had the chance, maybe she’d be dead by now. I wandered in my room for a few minutes after taking lunch before I realized my phone beep. It was definitely going to be a message from Massimo and I knew for a fact that he’d be coming home late as he stated earlier. I rushed to the bed where it laid and picked it up. My mind raced with a number of thoughts on who the caller was. I picked up the phone and boom… “what the actual hell?” I mumbled as I stared at the screen of my phone and just then I realized that it stopped. I couldn’t pick up at all because I felt so scared of the Governor and his men. “My lady,” I heard his voice call out from the rear of the balcony. “Marco?!” I called. “I think it’s high time I’ll have to speak with you concerning this,” I muttered, feeling a pang of gui

    Massimo’s POV. I sat in my office, the dim light casting weird shadows on the walls. I held a glass of whisky, watching the liquid swirl around. My mind was stuck on the deal with Adolphus and the CNC. And then there was Rosalia, my ex. The thought of working with her made me super uncomfortable. I took a sip of the whisky, feeling it burn my throat. I needed a plan to get out of this deal or limit her involvement. But every idea I came up with seemed flawed.Just as I was deep in thought, I heard a knock on the door. My instincts immediately went on high alert, and I turned towards the door, my eyes narrowing. ‘Who could it be?’ I wasn't expecting anyone.The door opened, and a figure stepped in. I relaxed slightly as I saw it was Rome. My tension eased, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me."Rome!" I exclaimed, setting my glass down and staring at him. We embraced and a warm smile spread across my face."How are you?" I asked, stepping back to examine him.Rome smiled, his ey

    Massimo’s POV. My office was cold. The air conditioner was already turned on and had lasted for the past one hour. My phone was pressed to my ear as I wrapped up the call. Suddenly, Marco opened the door and whispered. "Massimo, you have a visitor." I raised an eyebrow, annoyed at the interruption. Marco had accompanied me to work today since Rome was still recovering.I quickly ended the call and shook my head in an awkward gesture towards Marco. "What's going on?" I asked, trying to hide my irritation.Marco looked apologetic. "Sorry, boss. But I think this visitor is important. He attended the DLC meeting last year and had a significant impact on our discussions."My curiosity piqued, I leaned back in my chair. "What's so special about him?" I asked.Marco's expression turned serious. "I think you should meet him, boss. He might be able to help us with some... issues we're facing."I nodded, intrigued. "Alright, bring him in."Marco nodded and stepped out of the room. I took a s

    Massimo’s POV. I sat behind my desk, my eyes locked on Domenico as I decided on the invitation from the counselor. I needed to know where he stood, whether he was with or against me. "Domenico, I want to make one thing clear," I said, my voice firm. "I need your loyalty. I need to know you're with me on this."Domenico nodded, his expression serious and sour. "Massimo, you know I'm with you. I've always been loyal to the family."I leaned back in my chair, my eyes narrowing. "Good. Because I have reasons to believe that there are those within our organization who would seek to undermine me. And I need to know that I can trust you."Domenico's face remained impassive, but I could see the hint of a question in his eyes. "What do you need to know, Massimo?" he asked.I leaned forward, my elbows on the desk. "I want to know about the recent shipment of drugs from the Mexicans. Have you received the records yet?" I asked. My voice is shrill and determined. I was so desperate for an inv
