“Do I look like someone who likes to meddle in people’s affairs?” Armando asked, and Emiliano rolled his eyes in annoyance and rose from his chair and walked around the wooden desk and half sat on the desk and tapped his index finger several times as if gathering words to say. Angelo didn’t even move an inch no matter what because he knew if he said a word then that man on the phone would have his head. Mario sat without a care, as he went through some files he found on the table glancing at his brother occasionally and knew Angelo touched something he wasn’t supposed to touch for him to be hiding away like a coward.
“Millions are involved, let’s just say you will be killing two birds with one stone”Emiliano said shrewdly with a smirk that if the man saw him, he wouldn’t be pleased at all but Emiliano knew how to play his game when it came to making deals with his long-time friend, the man on the line went silent as if he was pondering over what Emiliano had said and after a while he spoke.
“Whose woman did you get involved with now?” A question Emiliano was expecting came and with a chuckle, he got off the desk shaking his head and Mario glanced at him with a smirk, Angelo rolled his eyes but still kept his mouth shut.
“My wife, she’s my wife and no man can dare claim her…” Emiliano remarked in an angry tone, such that even his facial expression had darkened. Sia was his woman from the start even if he didn’t own her she belonged to him body and soul.
“Hahaha interesting now… when did the Casanova marry this woman I mean why wasn’t I invited to the special occasion… and what’s so special about this little one that made even the coldest of them all to feel things”if Armando wasn’t Emiliano’s friend then Emiliano would have said some nasty things to him, but he was aware of his old Friend’s sarcasm which went a long way.
“It happened suddenly… I didn’t call you for this… now will you help or not”he was getting irritated with Armando here he wanted help, but the man wasn’t planning to listen.
“Simple I won’t help you… if you married another man’s woman on gun point, then why should I interfere”the man said straight and Mario felt like laughing but composed himself, Emiliano grinned with a mocking nod and knew it was useless arguing with the man.
“Fine… and say hello to your wife bro”Emiliano said with a chuckle and Angelo raised his head in surprise, Emiliano just let it go without coaxing more or threatening each other, now that was something new he wondered if the sun rose to the west or did the universe suddenly change.
“Good, Angelo next time use you dick very well because I won’t just send armed men after you… I’ll come myself and empty all bullets in your head, and you know what happens when I’m made to move”Armando spoke as if he knew Angelo was there and actually hearing him Angelo went pale as he sunk to the floor even more because he knew just what he did and if he knew any better he wouldnt have gone messing with Armando’s little sister hence he nodded as if Armando could see him “Mario find yourself a woman, or I’ll do it myself”he added as he told Mario and Mario nodded with a chuckle and shouted.
“On it boss man… just give me your sis”Mario commented with a smirk.
“Brave man”Armando said that and the call cut, only then did Angelo exhale in relief and Mario got up from the sofa and walked to get his phone back
“So he won’t help… what’s next”Angelo asked Emiliano who was about to walk out of the study room and the man turned back and smirked.
“He will”he simply said and walked out leaving Angelo dumbstruck, but Mario knew the man already told Emiliano what to do.
“”How?”Angelo wondered.
“He told him exactly what to do, you were there bro, Armando said it”Mario felt irritated because despite being a smart lawyer Angelo didn’t understand certain things, especially the conversation which happened between Armando and Emiliano, Angelo didn’t understand a thing and Mario wasn’t going to stay and elaborate.

Logan was furious as he tried to wear his shirt, but his hand was broken and due to lack of cash all the helpers had left him which made him even more angry and everything was all Emiliano’s fault, if Emiliano didn’t take Sia from him, then everything would have been fine. Emiliano was a pain in the neck which never went away, and now he had grown more wings having Sia with him.
“S… sir she’s here”his assistant came in the room and Logan turned around with a smirk when he saw the person who was dragged in all time up and actually seeing her he smirked.
“Leave us”he ordered, and the two men left the room throwing the tied up lady on the cold floor as she flinched in pain but didn’t show it and Logan with a broken arm walked to her and used his left hand to yank her up by the hair, so she could stand.
“L… leave me alone!” Tara shouted with so much anger ignoring the pain he was causing her and Logan darkened his expression.
“You shouldn’t go around acting all spoiled because I’m not Emiliano who spared you… I’m far worse Tara”he remarked with anger and threw her back to the floor.
“Ahh!”she screamed as she held her arm which hit the floor hard and heard Logan laugh sarcastically.
“I brought you here to do a good deed for the first time in your pathetic life”Logan said sarcastically and Tara looked at him with fear and the man smirked at her.
“I want you to… rekindle your love with Emiliano… as simple as that”he remarked and Tara went pale hearing his vile words.
“Never, you are a mister no wonder my sister chose him over you… you don’t value relationship Logan… you are heartless!”she yelled on top of her voice hating Logan because he didn’t deserve sia at all, and she was happy because her sister did the right thing but marrying Emiliano.
“Save your lectures to yourself, if you don’t do as I said, then I’ll tell sia just how lovey-dovey you and her so-called husband were… no wait… she will be shattered once she got to know that the man she trusted once had a thing for her elder sis, and we know how Sia can be”Logan knew he was playing dirty and didn’t care at all, he loved sia from the beginning, but she was taken from him by Emiliano his long-time rival and for that, he was going to make sure Emiliano never lived happily.
“Y… you wouldn’t dare”Tara said, but the smirk on his face proved just how far he was willing to go to get Sia.
“Try me Tara you better start getting close to Emiliano or else I’ll hurt Sia in the most cruel way possible, and you will be to blame for that!”he growled out the words and Tara swallowed air with fear.

Meanwhile a happy Sia was in the garden for the first time she got a chance to explore the mansion’s exterior, and she couldn’t help but admit Emiliano had good taste.
“So you are feeling strange about him?” Rhea asked as she arranged a carpet on the soft grass and carefully made a small bed for Diego while Sia was busy plucking flowers and getting strawberries she found they had.
“I don’t know… I don’t hate him anymore… it’s so strange I feel so safe when he’s around, i love everything he does”sia said as she sniffed the flowers and smiled like a kid, Rhea smirked and played with Diego.
“So does that mean you are… in love with him?” Rhea asked shrewdly and Sia stopped what she was doing and made a thinking face. Did she fall in love with him? she already gave herself to him willingly and didn’t feel any regret whatsoever, she wanted to see him happy not just that but she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, so could she call that love.
“Am I?”Sia mumbled and looked up.
“Yes you are, just tell him”if she was going to play dirty to get them together then Rhea would do anything to make sure Sia was happy.
“B… but what if he… he doesn’t feel the same way Rhea… I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle rejection at this point, I’m not strong enough”she simply said because she had been feeling this way for a very long time and wanted to confess but what if he doesn’t reciprocate her feeling then what. She would be devastated.
“Then first you will try and taste him, if you succeed and know he might feel the same then go ahead and confess… What do you think.”
“Really? will it work? if so then I’ll try”if doing things that would make Emiliano show he has some feelings for her then she would be glad to give it a shot.
Rhea smiled when Sia agreed not knowing that Angelo and Mario had just played the same card and convinced Emiliano that he was in love with Sia and coaxed him to confess.
