Chapter: Chapter - 4 ( Smack and Smash ) Theodore frowned, brows furrowing together in displeasure as his eyes took in the frantic figure of the nurse as soon as he opened the door. " What's going on here?" His deep voice startled the already fretful nurse while the blue eyed man simply rolled his eyes. " Sir, I tried to stop him but -" the rambling of the girl was cut off when Theodore held up his palm. " Leave." With a tilt of his head, he ordered who quickly dipped her before scurrying off. Theodore sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before closing the door behind him. " Dami, you shouldn't be out of bed." Despite the irritation, his voice was calm. " I'm fine. This hospital is suffocating." Damiano exaggerated putting on his blue jacket over the white shirt. Theodore who wasn't a fan of lots of words, he simply crossed his arms over his chest with a raised brow giving a ' seriously' look. " I don't want to spend a night here because if I do words are gonna travel and hit dad's ear." Damiano finally told the

Chapter: Chapter - 3 ( Bucks and Bruises )A lonely figure was walking on the empty, silent street. Her shoes occasionally hitting the pebble then following it with another hit lost in her thoughts. The gust of cold air, made Claudia to stuff her hands in her worn out black hoodie as she stopped and titled her face towards the sky, closing her forest eyes puffing out a breath. Her poor stomach growled in hunger, trying to catch her attention but she rudely ignored it focusing back on the pebble. She lost her job because of those perverts jerk. She does have that much money to feed herself but her mood was sour. Feeding herself was not in her bucket list right now, finding another job was. Because if she didn't paid the rent at the end of this week she will be out on the streets without a doubt. Those pigs were the one doing wrong but she was the one who end up being punished. Just because they had money. Right, money. What a evil thing. It can make people fall at your feet. With a shook of her head she looked down at the

Her stomach growled, begging her attention but she only sighed.The day had been gone smoothly, her new job as the waitress in this small, cozy restaurant was a ray of hope for her in this darkened state of her life." Claudia, go attend table number 4." His manager voice snapped her back from her thoughts.She nodded quickly, adjusting her shirt, taking a pen and paper she rushed through steady steps towards the table." Good, evening sir. I will be your server today." Her black curls was neatly tied up in a pony tail, as her natural red lips streched in a smile looking at three men.All were in suits, the one in black one give her an evil smirk as his eyes racked her form from head to toe.

Chapter: Chapter - 1 ( Considerate Enemy) The raven haired girl looked around cautiously exiting the rundown apartment. She barely held back the gasp coming from her mouth as the wooden floor squeaked beneath her.Taking a deep breath and tightening the grip on the strap of her brown backpack. She tip toed until she reach the stairs and she dashed, running quickly, a smile pressed upon her natural red lips as she reached the exit. She was hell bent on running away before she could get another encounter with that witch which was haunting her for the past days.“Miss. Claudia!” A gruff voice called and her feet halted in the same way as the tyres of car screeched upon applying sudden brake.“Hell!” mumbling a curse beneath her breath, she pressed her lips in thin line before she turned around with a sweetest smile she could muster.“There is the witch” she thought groaning inside.

Chapter: Epilogue EIGHT YEARS LATER - VIRGINIA, USA A frown was set upon Edna's lips, her brown hair rolled in a messy bun resting at the nape of her neck. Placing a hand on her hip she walked towards the two kids wrestling and rolling each other on the grass. " Damiano, let go of him this instant." Edna chewed out the words at the boy which was sitting on the stomach of the younger one, he stilled like a statue hearing her." Up!" Edna instructed in a harsh voice, when his blue eyes looked innocently at her. " Mama!" The boy whisphered softly reminding her of Adriano. He was just like his father. Ignoring her son, who was locking his fingers in front of him looking down at the ground like a culprit under his mother gaze, she crouched down in front of the younger one. " You okay, baby!" Edna asked her voice soft contrary to her previous harsh one. “Yes, aunt." The boy answered, his grey eyes looking at the worked up face of his aunt who was wiping the dirt from his chubby cheeks. " I'm fine reall

Chapter: AWAITING STORM Adriano dropped in a crouch in front of a smirking Donatello. There was anticipation and anxiety thick in air, as everyone else held their breath waiting for the next move of their Don. " What makes you think that I don't have a backup plan too, Donatello?" there was a mocking edge to Adriano's tone as cocked his head to the side. Donatello furrowed his brow as Adriano gripped his left wrist hard, before unstrapping his nonno's watch. Grey eyed man pressed his lips in thin line, his stone cold features turning into confused one. " You think, only you are the one that can play games." Adriano kicked his brow up as he pulled out a small microphone chip from inside the vintage watch. " Too bad! You hadn't played with me." Adriano murmured twirling the chip around his cylindrical finger, stuffing his nonno's watch in his pocket. &

Chapter: UNMASKED Edna's eyes were stuck on the screen of her iPhone, thumb hovering over Adriano's contact.She chewed her nails in anticipation, tapping her index finger on the side of the sleek phone she sighed, before stuffing it back in her pocket." Ma'am. We should leave. It's about time." Peter spoke from a few distance away from her making her jump in air, startled." God! Peter! Make some noise next time." She exclaimed putting a hand on her chest, calming her frenzy heartbeat." My apologies." Peter bowed his head before taking firm steps and opening the door of the passenger seat." Please." He nodded his head, directing her to get inside the car.Edna shook her head before getting in, her heart squeezing in her chest as her mind wondered again and again towards Adriano and Daniel."

I am scared!" A low whisper catched the attention of the alpha male.His blue eyes flickered towards her brown one filled with anxiety, softening his features." You shouldn't be." His voice was firm and confident.Edna sighed standing up from the couch, taking small steps towards Adraino. Placing her palm flat on the desk she raised her body and settled there in front of him taking his cold rough hands in her small dainty ones." What if something goes wrong?"

Chapter: EXTENDED HELP Woods crackled, burning furiously providing warmth to the cold surrounding. Heat seeped through the skin of the man, sitting on the chair at a foot distance but it failed to provide warmth to his cold heart. Grey eyes turning amber as they looked at the dancing dangerous flames.The creaking sound of the door notified him of the presence of the owner of the house. Donatello put his elbow on his knees, stapling his fingers together, he rested his chin on it." How is your wound?" His deep voice resonated in the small living of the cabin.Valerio who was busy in his phone, reeked back in surprise, barely held himself from jumping." Will live." Charcoal eyes narrowed watching the back of the elder man.Valerio hadn't told him about his hideout but Donatello knew about it anyway. So, he dropped the idea of asking him how he was aware

Chapter: FACADE Donatello inhaled a breath before bringing his hand up and softly let his knuckles met the hard door.A muffled ' come in' he heard. Twisting the doorknob he entered the lavish bright room, the interior of the room definitely matched with the persona of the person it belonged to." Signora, you called for me?" Dobatello questioned, hands behind his back, fingers locked together." Si." Sienna gave a nod in his direction along with a warm smile.That smile, which was the only thing that kept his otherwise dead heart alive." Show her the room. She will be staying with us." Sienna told the maid before lovingly tapping the hand of the young girl who was sitting in front of her.Donatello observed the girl as she stood up. It was Stella, the wife of Carlo. He momentarily looked at the young girl before his steely eyes drifted back to Sienna.&nbs
