In Russia, Alessandro is working when he receives a call on his personal number. A grin appears on his lips when he looks at the caller ID. It's a group video call from his friends. A chat with them always elevates his mood."What's up assholes" he greeted and leaned back in his chair while holding his mobile in his hand.Nero, Reed, and Matteo appeared on the screen. But what caught him off guard was their matching smirks. "A little bird came gossiping from Russia. The news on the streets is that a certain someone is seen killing people for simply looking at ' his ' girl. Just thought of asking you the details about it" Nero asked with a shit-eating grin.Alessandro groaned with displeasure. News travels fast these days."It happened in Russia, so you would know about it, right?" Reed chimed in when Alessandro shook his head without immediately replying."Of course, he would know. Don't you, Alesso? Or, does this scenario look similar to something that happened in the Volcov Mansion

"I am jealous now" he admitted.Olivia gave him a confused look."Jealous?" she asked him to explain what he meant. Carlos is jealous because he is enlightened about the qualities that he should search for in his future life partner. He was under the impression that looks and chemistry were enough. But now he understood that they only scratch the surface of a relationship and there is so much more for any relationship to develop and flourish. Understanding, affection, and letting go of our ego are what would help to keep a relationship. He is jealous that his cousin found someone who understands him for what he is and cherishes him so much. "I am jealous because you are praising my cousin and not me" he complained with mirth, hiding his true emotions. If he had any doubts about her, they are clarified now. She belongs to his cousin in every way. He was an idiot to not see it before. Only a fool will pursue a woman who is in love with another man. He saw Kyle trying to fool Hera and

Olivia looked at him with shock. She was not expecting him to explain why he was forced to kill her father in the first place. 'So many young girls will be pushed into the abyss of misery and slavery. There is one last line I vowed never to cross ' She gathered that this was something related to woman trafficking. She overheard her father speaking with someone a few years ago. He was speaking about how much they could earn using underaged girls. Her stomach churned and she puked her guts out that night. She was just seventeen then. She knows what her father does for a living. But watching and listening to things like that is not a pleasant experience for her. She lost some respect she held for her father that day. And the rest was lost when he sold her to protect himself. Now, she understood that whatever was bothering Alesso must be something related to the conversation that she overheard that day back in Chicago. 'My father did something to endanger young girls. Now Alesso is f

"Livi, Livi" Alessandro shook Olivia. But she didn't respond. She has not spoken or responded to anything from the moment George disclosed the horrifying news about her birth and their relationship. He is so disturbed to find out everything that George just admitted about their past, that he is stunned too. But he is not a fool to trust a cunning fox like George. Indeed, men in the mafia world will not be loyal to their wives. But they always expect and demand loyalty from them. There is a chance that what George said might be true and Livi might be from his family. But that doesn't change anything. He still feels as strongly about her as he used to before. People might say that he is going to hell, but he already committed so many sins that he lost count. This one will only add to the list, but worth it. He already has deep feelings for her, and that would never change. There is not a single person and truth in this entire world that can force him to leave her like George predicted.

That night, when Alesso came back from work to tell Livi about the results of the DNA reports, he found her sitting in the living area with Carlos. What made him stop dead in his tracks was that, Carlos had his hand wrapped around her shoulders. She is not leaking into him and her body language is screaming that she is tense. But his Jealousy reared its ugly head and he stormed towards them with long purposeful strides. "Carlos" he snapped with anger. The young man jumped away from Livi and moved as far away from her as possible. Even Livi stood up to her feet and her red blood puffy eyes met his. He calmed down considerably when he saw how miserable she was looking."Alesso?" she whispered hoarsely.That did it. He ignored Carlos who was now standing to the side like the deer caught in headlights and approached Livi. Czar motioned Carlos to come with him. That's the only thing Carlos needed to escape from another punching session with his cousin. He rushed away from there as if his
