Emma stood across from him, wearing a soft white dress with a delicate bow tied at the nape of the neck. It easily revealed Emma's small shoulder blades and petite collarbone.She nodded, not hiding her thoughts."I miss my mom…."Ivan suddenly pulled her to sit on top of him, causing her to jump defenselessly into his lap. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck, posing a shady posture. He loved hugging her like that. When Emma sat on his lap, she would be a head taller than him. Ivan only needed to raise his head, and he could kiss her easily."You've been away from your mother for just over a week. You already miss her?" he asked. He asked himself, "If he forced her to stay here with him for the rest of her life, would she bear it?""I have never lived so long away from my mother." She bowed her head in reply. From this angle, Emma could see Ivan's straight nose and thin lips. They are very… glamor.Emma's pink lips moved, making Ivan a little uncomfortable and speechless.
"Baby girl, I can help you fulfill your dream." Ivan smiled softly. He gave Emma a sense of security. He's the one with the money, more power than anyone here.He wanted to tell her one thing: Ivan would give her a hill of green grass if Emma were a sheep. If she were a butterfly, he would give her a sky. If she were a mermaid, he would give her the vast ocean.Ivan stood up. He stood before the sun. His shoulders were strong, making Emma feel that he was protecting her from the complicated world out there. His hair fell down. His amber eyes were now gently looking at the little girl. He held out his hand in front of her. His voice is like a piece of music."This is Milan, Italy – where I was born and raised. Do you want to enter my world, Emma?"In the sunset of Italy, there is a man who accepts to humble himself to win her heart. He didn't care that he was a proud and powerful CEO. He only knew that his withered flower garden for many years had finally a girl arrived. He vows to use
The Domenica family had a decades-long friendship with the Russo family. Since the Russo family's power was consolidated in Monaco, they were always trying to find their own dangerous businesses. One of them is drug trafficking – banned substances by the Italian government as well as the world.Although the Domenica family doesn't like drugs, Ivan can't interfere in the Russo family's business before.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled on the long road. In Ivan's hand was a small tablet. He wore a simple suit, a diamond-encrusted Rolex, and well-groomed hair that made him influential and exuded the aura of a true businessman in the marketplace.Phil was in the driver's seat, looking at Ivan through the car's rearview mirror. The Russo clan has been a thorn in the side of many underworld forces lately. But they were afraid of the power of the Domenica family. No one dared to touch Russo. That brings trouble and a lot of bad reputation to GEM corporation as well as Ivan's face."Phil.
The people present in the room immediately stood up when they saw Ivan, they extended their hands to greet them, and Ivan slowly sat down on the chair.These are all influential figures in the Italian underworld, with the exception of Lei Wang. He was the new Domenica collaborator that Ivan needed to work with."Nice to meet you, Mr. Domenica," Lei Wang has the air of a tycoon from Southeast Asia. Not too arrogant but enough to create a sense of power for others. He was no less prominent than the Italian tycoons here."Nice to meet you,"After Ivan finished greeting, a man in his forties entered the room. He wears a navy blue suit, wearing a lot of rare gold and diamonds, like a newly rich man. Make others feel contemptuous – Arma Russo.He stood in front of Ivan and bent over to show respect for the 'god' in front of him.Arma Russo knew the person sitting in front of him was the 'king' of the underworld. He didn't think that Ivan Domenica would actually come to this Russo party. The
The Russo family officially no longer has a way to live. From the beginning, it was wrong for Arma Russo to choose to agree to a deal with Pontedras, violating the Domenica family's prohibition. Therefore, the benefits that the Domenica family had for Arma Russo would be revoked in the next two weeks. Arma Russo is like a lost soul. His mind is no longer stable. Just an hour ago, he was still relieved that his illegal trade would not be discovered by Ivan Domenica's forces. But now, everything has been revealed. He had no choice but to leave the city of Monaco and give up management of the Neve hotel chain. If he doesn't follow Domenica's judgment, his whole family will die at the gun of the Skull organizer. "The party is boisterous party today, Arma Russo. I hope that you will be able to leave Monaco tomorrow, and don't forget that it was the Pontedra family who pushed you into this hell." Lei Wang said slowly. He put his teacup down on the table. His emotionless eyes were like a c
The red, blue, yellow, and black ropes are tangled and tangled together. It may be difficult for others, but not for those who have fought a lot on the battlefield, like Phil, Vasco, and Ivan Domenica. Ivan carefully cut the ropes with his dagger. He chewed on a strawberry-flavored gum, the one Emma had given him before he left. Fortunately, Ivan has a habit of always chewing gum whenever he destroys a bomb. It helps him feel more focused. Lei Wang received a knife from Phil. He was swapped places. He was the one analyzing the bomb. In between the two compartments, there was a hollow transparent conduit. Separating the two sides is a switch; currently, he has not found out what the meaning of that black work is. But once the bomb explodes, these two black and white liquid solutions will mix. The remaining time is one minute. Phil and Vasco breathed a sigh of relief; simultaneously, they had defused the remaining two small bombs. Only Ivan was not finished, but his face was still ve
Night had fallen, and the cold wind blew, making Emma's body feel cold. She looked around her. There was no one, a little lonely but very quiet. Emma closed her eyes slightly, resting her head on the chair. Enjoying the scent of flowers wafting around her, she was completely immersed in that silence.Without knowing it, a pair of cold feet was slowly walking toward her.There was no sound, only the scent of blood mixed in the air. It moved closer and closer to Emma, who was wearily sitting in the same place without realizing it.Suddenly!A wet hand touched Emma's face, and she jumped up, wanting to scream. The moment she saw the bloody hand, Emma almost fainted. That hand was cold, wet, and bloody red. Like the devil's hand from hell, the man covered her mouth, not giving her a chance to struggle.He was as quick as light, and in a matter of seconds, he had pulled Emma out of that garden.Dark clouds came, blocking the light from the radiating moon, making the sky even darker. The
"Boss! Calm! She's fine. She's been rescued!" Vasco ran after Ivan Domenica's footsteps. He was walking too fast, his footsteps faster than ever. He doesn't even care if his clothes are ragged. His hands have only been picked up with shards of glass, not washed or applied with antibacterial drugs. If the wound is left open for too long, it will become infected.But Ivan didn't care about that. He walked hurriedly up the stairs. He said in heat."Punish the guards in the basement and Dr. Vittorio. From now on, his lab here must be closed down!"He stopped in front of Emma's door, Polina standing outside and waiting for her boss's orders. Polina stood with her arms crossed behind her back, face down, ready to face Ivan's wrath. Emma was in the shower. She stood in front of the door according to Emma's words."Boss." Respectful Polina.Ivan's anger was evident on his face and in every gesture on his body. Polina could feel the cold air radiating from his body. It gave her goosebumps. Iva
