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.

    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.

But Edna here was feeling the exact opposite because her best friend wasn't picking up her call.This is treachery.Rolling her brown orbs she stuffed her phone in her pocket and glared at her broken black honda." Ugh! Nathan." She growled as humanly possible but jumped up in air, when she heard wolves growl coming within deep from forest." Stupid , stupid car!" Frustrated she kicked the door instead of it helping her in someway she felt pain in her toes given she was wearing flats.Wobbling over her fine leg , she cursed under breath. A swish of air ruffled up her brown locks. A black sleek BMW was the reason of her messy hair which

    " So, you are saying. Whoever is sending this text is stalking you?" Nathan questioned leaning on his hand which were on her table.She called him and Jenna as soon as she received that message. Before it was harmless but the thing that whoever was texting knew her car was gone had her danger bell ringing in her head." What else it could be? Edna hisses out stoping rubbing her temple." You have sort of some secret admirer? Isn't that exciting?!" Jenna quiered looking at both of them from near the window where she was standing adoring a pink floral dress which reached up to her knees." That's creepy." Both Nathan and Edna said in unison regarding her with a glare." Okay." Holding up her hand in surrender Jenna protected herself." Why are we friends with her again ?" Nathan asked exasperatedly and Jenna protested with a 'Hey!'" Because she does my shopping?" Edna offered pointing her attire which was a red t

    Edna moaned in pain once againasher alreadybruised raw wrist came in contact with the rope that was tying her to the wooden chair. She slowly peeled her eyes open wincing slightly as her head throbbedin pain. Did she pass out again? She thought she licked her dry lips andsoon a metallic taste entered her mouth. Her lips were bleeding as shesighedinfrustration.Everything hurt so much. What had she done to deserve this? How long will this torture day last. It’s been only a day and she was losing her mind already. She was never this pathetic, helpless girl but tied up to a chair, bloody and bruised. Her body felt numb with the pain. She tried hard but she couldn’t be that strong at least not physically. Licking her dry lips, she coughed, her throat dry as desert. She couldn’t even remember when her lips touched the drop of water last time.A shaky breath escaped past her lips wh

Her eyes scanning the unfamiliar room she was in only to find that it was a huge room with dark, purple walls witheverything a rich person could afford. She blinked her eyes taking in all the previous events and a gasp escaped her lips.My doll…That word resonated in the depth of her brain, prompting a panic in her heart. She knew that it was probably her stalker because she was certain that she heard him saying that she washis doll, because no one else had given her such a pet name except him.“ What is going on?!” She questioned letting her feet touch the cold tiled floor, raising goosebumps all over her skin.“ The hell happened?” Question slipped past her lips as she looked down atherself and her eyes widened

    “God! Such a trouble you are my doll.” Her savior and tormentor was finally here.Edna rubbed her twice in hope that the man she was seeing in front of her was not really there. The man in black shirt was shaking his hand looking at the mess she had created.“Have you been crying?” was asked to her in a soft voice as if not wanting to scare her more.“Mr. Pie—tro ..” She barely chocked out finally founding her voice which she lost somewhere looking at the man in black shirt in front of her ;fisting her shirt tightly.No, No, No!!!!“You are not the one who was texting me right? You can’t be, off course that’s not you.” Edna half asked to him and half mumbled to herself.Adriano frowned deeply at her hope of him not having that same person.

    (Warning: Violence)Edna contemplated on running and staying where she was but before she could have reached on any conclusion a warm hand covered hers over the door knob and she watched helplessly as he shut the door making her stumble back and bump into his chest. Edna froze in her place and softly banged her forehead on the door as she felt Adriano’s presence behind him."Turn around" commanding in a deep annoyed voice he finally removes his hand from over her."I said turn AROUND!" he raised his voice an octave and the iciness in them made her squeeze her eyes tightly as she shakily turned around to find him awfully close to her.His blue eyes were glaring daggers at her and if looks can kill, she would be six feet under the ground already. She averted her gaze down to his chest at the speed of light when she saw the cold look on his face. Nevertheless, it was not for long as two long fingers went under her chin

Shejust knew one thing; she had to get as far as possible from that monsterchasing her .She stopped at one corner catching her breath which wascoming in small gasps. She screamed a little and flinched back when she felt a hand on her shoulder." Hey, it's me Rose calm down " Rose said softly ." Rose ,..." Edna hiccuped before continuing "H--e ki--lled someone .

    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."

    THERE DAYS LATERThe rays of sunlight creeped through the small creek between the curtain, falling on the cleenched jaw of Adriano, giving his pale skin a yellowish color." 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?" Her voice held fear, Adriano squeezed her hand assuring her." Nothing will go wrong Edna. Adriano's plan is flawless." Daniel pipped in the conversation from he was standing

    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

    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

    The wooden stairs creaked beneath the foot of Daniel, keeping his finger firmly upon the trigger he stride upwards. Fabio followed him closely. The muffled voice was getting more clear to them. Daniel pressed his ear on the wooden door at the end of the hallway.“ Someone is inside.” Daniel whispered in a hushed voice, to which Fabio nodded.Taking their position, Daniel put his hand on the doorknob. Inhaling a breath, he twisted it but he was not prepared for what was waiting for him behind that door.“ Hello, Daniel.” The heavy baritone voice of Valerio welcomed them.A gasp left Fabio eyeing the man clad in black standing in front of the man who was gagged, without they could have as much as blink. Valerio stabbed a knife across his throat.Daniel eyes flickered towards the now, dead man and Valerio while Fabio took a step away when Valerio threw a craz

Her friend, Jenna she-" Peter stopped licking up his lips as Adriano's attention cut down to his queen who shifted in his hold." Had an accident. Her position is critical, too critical. And the flight got cancelled because of the whether so … she is like that from that time." Peter finished taking a deep breath, he could feel his hand getting clammy.Adriano closed his eyes in relief listening this piece of news.She was fine..Donatello held the urge to scoff and roll his eyes at that.

    A shuddering breath was what left Peter's lips, squeezing his eye shut he waited for the death that was staring right in his face. Edna quickly blinked her eyes getting rid of the moisture, turning the car, it's tyres severing on the road almost toppling the car because of the sudden resistance.Peter opened his eyes the next moment when he heard the panting of the girl sitting next to him along with his own irregular breath." How long it will take ?" Edna mumbled out the question, to a still dazed Peter who looked at her with amazement.She pulled it off.He thought, they were going to crash right in the truck but she somehow pulled it off." Not much." He answered in a whisper, as she revived the car engine, carrying on her journey of saving love of her life.___________________________An unnerving silence was filled u
