Ivano's POV
The whole drive to Venice was filled with anticipation, anxiety and lots of hurdles.
Aida, the systematic one among us drafted this whole ordeal in simple steps. At least they were easy while listening, execution is whole different level.
First step - Fool the media.
Which was hard! Enzo came out of this stupid idea to hold press conference with all the board members present in that dratted conference! Now god knows how he will handle without damaging the reputation of the company. After all we did lie to everyone.
But in short, it worked! Media is solely focused on that and I am heartbroken... In media's eyes.
So, I cannot join the conference.
Second Step - Letting Aldo know just before the trial that we have found something against him.
For that, Alessandro and Francessa will stay at the prison under the pretense of fighting with Alessandro's parents.
It was my idea to let him be aware that he will not be able to do anything. I want to see die in desperation to change the consequences.
Third Step - Tristan, Carmelia and I will be enrouting Venice from Tristan's chopper.
It was easy till we decided to go through chopper, but my intelligent son.
He said - Media is not stupid, Uncle Tan will also be watched.
Though he stammered but it felt so nice to hear him. Then and there, I wished Idhaya could have seen this.
So we decided we have to take some vehicle and cover our identity. That was easily solved.
I just called my chauffeur to arrange a garbage looking car for us so no one will even think that Espositos are in to it.
The car was actually a garbage piece. It was stopping more than working. But then Carmelia helped.
"Did I ever say to anyone that my father was very good with handling the cars?" Saying she went out and cleaned the engine. The car actually started running more than stopping.
When I started thinking that Carmy did a good job with the car, just then the car stopped again!
When we turned towards her she fucking has the guts to say - "Did I ever say that I just learned cleaning the engine from him?"
I felt like kicking her out of the car and I bet Tan felt that too!
"Now what! Did I ever say that I feel like killing you!" I snapped at her and punched the steering wheel so hard. Suddenly, engine started working.
"Your eyes say that." Carmy muttered exacting a glare from me.
"Do you want to die? I cannot be a widower without marriage!" Tan said. That's when I decided, these two are gone cases. Nothing can happen... Now that they have no mind in their stupid heads we will have to adjust!
But soon I realized that I cannot use break, if I do use that the engine shuts itself. Driving this would be a task!
But we did avoid a lot of traffic using other ways and driving slowly and finally I am here!
"What do you want to listen to?" Magistrate asked bringing me out of my reverie.
"Yes, I want everyone to listen to this very carefully because this will not only show us the real truth of this case, but also it will prove that revenge can destroy many lives." I said taking out my phone.
Idhaya and almost every one looked at me in confusion.
I started the video recording on the projector present in the courtroom.
"Idhaya!" Camer her Mother's voice.
"Just know that I give you my permission to marry Ivano now of you want to!" No matter how much I hear this, I involuntarily blush at this.
Then her father's was heard which I am sure was not very understandable to everyone.
"Yes, your father also approves but he is being such a kid! He is crying, see!" He glared at Mom.
Just then they went on alert mode when someone tried opening the room's door.
"Hello Aunty!" I am sure the phone fell from her hands as sound came of something falling and then the camera angle changed.
"I like this fear. But you should have been this fearful before you sent me to prison." His voice was unforgettable for all of us.
"Hh.. how are you hhe..."
"Here?" I bet he was smirking.
"What do you want! How dare you come here? I will just inform hotel staff to take you..."
"Do you think I am stupid? I have contacts here so I am inside this room with the master key." He laughed as Mom gasped in fear.
"Well... No need be scared from me. You be scared if yourself." He said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Yes, after all in few minutes you both will kill yourselves." He said and laughed.
"What!" Mom exclaimed.
"Yes... But first we should make a short video. Just a minute's video." He said.
"What video? We are not making anything. Remove yourself out." Mom said bravely but one can detect fear in her voice.
"Oh you will. Because if you don't, your daughter is going to die. I know exactly where she is and when I have to kill her." Aldo said.
"Aldo Sullivan you will stay away from my daughter and her family!" She shouted at him.
"Don't you dare shout at me! Do as I say or tomorrow your daughter will leave this world. The bombs that I have installed there will burst tomorrow. I will give her one night to live with the fantasy of having a billionaire boyfriend." He threatened them.
"Look at the stylish bombs which are installed in the building." He might have showed them the images.
Even though there may not be any bombs but I still asked everyone to evacuate the building and Aida is looking to that.
"You will say this in the video that your daughter threw you out of the house and you are ashamed of her affair with her boss. Also that she didn't fulfill any of your dreams and abuse you. And then kill yourself!" Aldo said that made Mom cry.
"We will do it. But you will stay away from my daughter! And mind you even if you try framing my daughter the truth will be out! Our sacrifice will not go in vain." Mom said while crying.
"Cut the drama and pick your phone now."
And then after a few seconds recording went off.
