Third Person's POV:
"You are really testing my patience now. So I hope for your own sake that you will tell me the truth as soon as possible." Elio said, getting frustrated.
"I really hope that you don't cooperate. That way I can have the chance to torture you and keep you here for a long time." Emilio said, smirking.
Bianca shuddered seeing his expression and hearing him say those words.
"He really is hoping for that so if you really want to get free you should quickly start talking and tell the truth." Antonio also said with a serious expression.
Bianca shook with fear as she looked at them. She really had no idea that they could be so terrifying. Although she knew that they were mafia, she didn't really experience that personally. So in this matter she can be said to be really naive.
"I will tell you the truth. Please don't keep me here any longer. I can't take it anymore." She said.
"Okay then tell the truth." Elio said. They weren't really going to keep her here, they were just scaring her so that she could tell them everything.
"Someone contacted me and told me to seduce you and become your girlfriend. After that they will give me the instructions to do as they say. I..I didn't want to do this and resisted it very much but...but they."
"They kidnapped your brother." Emilio completed her sentence. Bianca wasn't surprised that they knew because she knew that they must have investigated her.
Yes, she wasn't really that much bitchy but it was that she was forced to do all that.
"Yes. They kidnapped my brother. I couldn't just let that be, can I? I thought about going to the police but they told me that it won't be of any use because they were from the mafia world. I was scared and thought that if they wanted to they could harm him or do worse to him so I agreed to do whatever they told me."
"First they sent me your information along with your family's. There wasn't much just that you all were from the mafia world and some basic information. They told me to become your girlfriend as soon as possible. I learned your schedule as they had sent it to me and knew that you liked dogs so I came up with that plan." Bianca blushed at this time.
Now she really looked innocent and pretty after all her pretenses were broken and she went back to herself. She really was beautiful after she shed her pretenses and seductive aura. Her natural look suited her perfectly.
"Will you believe me if I told you that I really fell for you? At first I was just acting for the sake of my brother's safety then as I got to know you I started falling for you. I didn't, for even a second, want to harm you or hurt you but if I didn't, then my brother would have been hurt. I was really in a rock and hard place." Bianca smiled bitterly.
"I don't believe you. You should first tell me the whole truth. Who is the person that wants to harm my family?" Elio asked seriously. He was a little bit relieved to know that she at least had a little bit of feeling for him. But he was also furious that because of him his family was dragged in this.
Bianca smiled bitterly. She knew that it was useless to tell him anything but she told him because she knew that he liked her genuinely. At least she can let him know that he wasn't the only one who had liked the other party in their relationship. That she didn't lie about her feelings.
"Okay. I will tell you everything that I know about. I don't know who the man who has kidnapped my brother is and wants to harm you. I don't know anything about him. He always stayed mysterious when calling me. So I can only tell you about what happened after he contacted me."
"Okay then tell me about that." He said.
"As our relationship started going smoothly I started receiving their instructions as to what to do. I also started feeling likeness towards you so I told them that they had to release my brother. I knew that when he is free I can tell you the truth and maybe you will believe me. So I told them to release him or I won't listen to their arrangements and tell you the whole truth."
Elio was astonished a little bit to hear that she was willing to do the right thing. Even Emilio and Antonio were a little surprised and thought that she at least had some decency in her.
"They released him, after all they were scared that I will tell you the truth. But...they implanted a chip in him. They told me that if I don't listen to their arrangements then they will activate that chip in my brother and he will be dead within a few minutes." Bianca started sobbing at this point.
She felt so helpless at that moment. She had no one she could go to and tell everything to. She was all alone in all of this mess and the man she loved was the one that she had schemed against. She really felt that she couldn't get out of this situation no matter how much she tried.
So when they captured her and kept her here, she, after a very long time, felt peace. No one was there to keep her always alert and cautious. When they placed her in here she was scared but as time went by she realised that they didn't do anything to her and left her alone. She was just not allowed to go out. After calming down she started talking again.
"So I had no choice but to do as they told me to. They wanted me to give them the information about your business, be it legal or illegal. But as you also know that you didn't let me anywhere near any information so I told them that you were very cautious and I can't get any information out of you. To tell you the truth, I was really happy that you weren't letting me see those things that way I didn't have to betray you."
"So when you decided to introduce me to your family, they felt that it was time that I could get the information that they wanted. I knew that Ariana was your bottom line so I thought to attack that line so that you can capture me and question me about these things. That way I can tell you guys the whole thing and they won't get suspicious. They had also told me to hurt Ariana if possible. I couldn't bring myself to truly harm her so I thought of this way. That is all the truth."
They all were a little stunned. Although they knew that she was doing all of these things because of her brother, they didn't know that she was also reluctant to use those things to truly harm them. They had thought that she was truly with them after all her brother was released now. They can't believe her immediately now either. What if she was just spinning lies to get out of this situation unscathed.
"Where is your brother now?" Emilio asked.
"At home. Why?" Bianca asked nervously. She didn't lie about his whereabouts because she knew that they could find out about this even if she lied.
"We will see what type of chip they have implanted and test it out. If there is any chip and you are telling the truth then we will see what to do. For now you will stay here." Elio said, understanding why his brother asked about him.
"But I have to talk to them now. Otherwise they will activate the chip if I won't." She said, glancing outside the window.
"How will we know that you are telling the truth and will not trick us?" Antonio asked.
"I swear that I will not trick you. You guys can stay here and the phone will be on the speaker. I swear. I just want to save my brother please." Bianca said.
"Okay. But if you try and play with us, you won't have to worry about them anymore." Elio threatened.
Bianca nodded hurriedly. Elio gestured to his man and he gave her the phone. Bianca quickly called the number.
"Hello."
"What happened? I heard that you were captured by them." There was a voice on the other hand of the phone.
"They just misunderstood me and now they have let me go. It is all better now. Don't worry." She said nervously.
"Did you get anything from them?" Bianca looked at them and they nodded.
"Yes."
"What is it?" The man asked excitedly.
Bianca looked at Elio and he quickly typed in his phone and showed it to Bianca. She quickly read it and understood.
"It is something that I have to tell you in person and then I will also give you the folder that I have obtained. Believe me you will be very happy and shocked."
"Ok then. I will send you the location and time later. Come and meet me then."
They hung up and Bianca breathed out in relief that she had managed to handle that properly.
"Thank you." She said. Elio nodded and they went out. Elio instructed his men to go and bring her brother to test the chip and see if they can neutralize it without harming him or alarming the enemy.
"We will find out everything. Hang in there. I just feel that she is telling the truth." Emilio said and then they went to work while Antonio went home and told everyone everything that happened.
"Sigh. Who would have thought. This makes the situation tricky to handle." Isabella said.
"Yes. Let's wait and see." Leonard said.

Ariana's POV:
So much has happened recently. I was so excited that I was coming to Italy. Then I was excited about meeting Bianca. Sigh I just wish that she was telling the truth or else Elio fratello will really be hurt. The atmosphere in the house was heavy as all of us felt the weight of his hurt and guilt. I just wish that all of this gets resolved quickly and peacefully.
We were in the living room and waiting for him to come so that he could tell us about the result of the investigation. I just hope that it was something that can be resolved without any serious repercussions. Everyone was fraught with worries.
"I just hope this matter resolves quickly. Elio has been hurt very much this time." Zia said with heartache visible on her face.
"Have faith. Everything will be alright and Elio will also come out of this stronger. He will learn the lesson as to not trust someone easily and to judge a person properly." Nonna said.
"You are right mom," Zia said.
Just then Elio fratello and others arrived. He came and sat with us and told us the result.
"She was telling the truth. He has a chip installed in him and if activated he will die in a few minutes. I have talked with my team and the doctors have told us that it can be removed successfully. So he has gone to have surgery and Bianca is also there with our men." Elio said solemnly.
"That's good then. At least he is safe now." Zia said.
"We are planning to catch them red handed. Bianca has told them that she has got the information that they want on her hand and is asking to meet them personally. So she will go to meet them there and we will also be there secretly and then we will catch them. I just want all of this to end already." Emilio fratello said.
"Just be alert and prepared. They are smart if they have evaded us for this long so they won't reveal themselves so easily. You have to be prepared fully. Don't think of your enemies as weak." Nonno said. Elio fratello nodded.
"When is the meeting?" I asked.
"Tomorrow night." Elio fratello replied.
I nodded. Then I can also prepare for it. I didn't tell them but I will also help them with surveillance and keep watch in case anything goes wrong. I can do what I am best at and help them to the best of my abilities. I just hope we will get them.
