287. Embarrassed!
Elena swallowed nervously, her throat dry. Rita’s hands clenched tightly at her sides, silently praying for a positive outcome. If the guard could eat the food without issue, maybe, just maybe, Franco would start to trust her family again.All their eyes were locked on the guard as he hesitated for a moment, then lifted the food to his mouth. As soon as it touched his tongue, the young man’s expression twisted in disgust.He spat it out with a loud, forceful motion, his face contorting with anger. “This is absolute bullshit!” he yelled, his voice sharp. “Who the hell prepared this garbage?”The words hit Elena like a punch to the stomach. Her heart seemed to leap out of her chest. Even Maya’s mouth fell open in disbelief, while Rita’s face flushed with sudden, uncontrollable rage.But it was Franco who stood there, a small, amused smile spreading across his face as he observed the reactions of the group."Imagine that!" he said, clearly enjoying himself. His tone was dripping with moc
286. Food Or Poison!
Rita was taken aback by Franco’s response. She stared at him, struggling to process what he had just said. His words made no sense. He doesn’t know who we are? she thought, still in shock. After all, they had brought this meal as a gesture of goodwill. They’d expected him to welcome them with open arms, but instead, he hadn’t even acknowledged the offering. Rita tried to mask her surprise, forcing a soft chuckle. She took a step forward, her voice light as if to smooth over the awkwardness. “My Lord, what are you saying?” Rita asked, her smile polite but strained. “I’m Rita Froston, and with me is your wife—well, your first wife, Elena Froston.” Elena, standing beside Rita, nodded in agreement, her posture stiff, her voice slightly hesitant. “Yes, Fran…” She stopped herself mid-sentence, visibly correcting the slip. “Yes, My Lord. My mother is right. I am Elena… we used to be… close.” Franco’s eyes narrowed. His lips curled into a tight smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Of cou

Elena felt it deep in her heart. The moment she had waited for, the moment she had dreamed of for years, was finally becoming real. Franco was coming to see her face to face.She stood beside her mother as the crowd around them continued chanting loudly.“El Riffiano! El Riffiano!”The sound rolled through the air like thunder. Elena straightened her back, adjusted her posture, and forced herself to stand tall. She prepared herself, both in body and in mind, to welcome Franco. Then she turned to her mother, her eyes bright with excitement, and pointed straight at the helicopter in the sky.“That’s Franco!” she exclaimed, her voice barely able to contain her joy. “Oh my God, he’s finally here. I can’t wait for him to come over to this side and enjoy the beautiful meal I prepared for him!”Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. Her eyes followed Franco as he stepped down from the helicopter, her breath catching in her throat.Damn.Is this really the same man?The thought hit her har

284. El Ruffiano!
All around them, the crowd erupted in unison."Yes! Yes!" voices echoed back at the announcement, a wave of excitement rippling across the airport grounds.Despite the blazing sun overhead, no one moved an inch. Some had managed to squeeze themselves under whatever shade they could find—beneath banners, under palm trees, or huddled near the terminal walls. But many stood tall and proud right under the scorching heat, not daring to lose their spot. The Ruffian Lord was worth it.Elena nudged her mother eagerly, her eyes scanning the area like a hunter zeroing in on her prey.“The Lord is almost here,” she whispered, voice shaking with anticipation. “We have got to position ourselves somewhere we’ll be noticed. We need to be visible, mind-free, and ready for anything.”She grinned wide. “I can’t wait to meet Franco again—”She suddenly froze, eyes wide, and slapped a hand over her mouth as if trying to shove the words back in.“Oops! I meant—the Ruffian Lord. I can't wait to see the Ruf
283. He is Back In Otlanto!
Elena, her mother, her sister Maya, and Edgar stepped through the grand entrance of Ruffian Airport, their eyes wide with awe. The moment they set foot inside, it was clear—this wasn’t just an airport. It was a statement.Everywhere Elena looked, the atmosphere screamed wealth, power, and a level of luxury that could make royalty feel underdressed. The chandeliers alone looked like they cost a small fortune, and the marble floors shimmered like they'd been polished with gold dust.“Elena,” her mother whispered, almost as if afraid to speak too loudly in such opulence, “this place is... unbelievable.”And she wasn’t wrong. The entire family stood still for a moment, trying to take it all in. Elena’s mouth was slightly open, her mind racing. What is this place? she thought. This isn’t a regular airport. This is a monument.Everything had been customized to suit the Ruffians' taste—bold, extravagant, and untouchable. Anyone who had the rare chance to be in this space clearly didn’t reali
