" I wished we could have stayed more there!" Rose pouted as she rested her head on Alberto's shoulder who chuckled in response. 

" Hmm.. but we can't just stay there for forever. I know my nonna(grandma) is great but our fratello is here can't just abandon him." He answered playfully ranning a hand through her silky blonde hair. 

" Yeah... But -" her words got in her throat as they heard a loud shattering outside in the main hall. 

" What was that?" She wondered before they both pulled themselves up on their feet and rushed outside. 

The once beautiful coffee glass table was shattered into hundreds of pieces but that was not the reason of Rose sudden panicking. The figure beside was.. there was Adriano whose blue shirt was messily  half tucked and half was out. His hair was a mess almost covering his whole forehead shadowing his blue eyes. 

" Brother!" Alberto called ou

He asked calmly stil siting on his knees in front of her as he held her hands softly in his."No! Why would you say that?" She asked tilting her head to the side and he sighed heavily."

She said that one of her friends lives here when Victor asked her that she was going to ahead Wisconsin." Here? But you said you were going ahead of Wisconsin." Victor asked stopping the car at once and looking at her with his teal orbs." Yeah. But my friend lives over here so I would stay with her before continuing. I'm tired and famished." She said and as if one que her stomach growled making them both chuckle." You should eat something first." Victor suggested with a smirk, his brown hair messed up because of the wind." Nah!

What makes you think that I will believe you?" she spat harshly at Victor and he drew in a breath." If you give me a minute..

    " How much time has passed since we had eaten like this together," Thomas voiced out his thoughts as he sit at the middle of the small dining table with Edna at his right and Eva at his left." I missed this so much." Edna said with a small smile taking a bite of her food." For once I lost hope I thought that I would also lose you like your mother," Eva said with worry lacing her voice and Edna and Thomas both frowned at the mention of her real mother. Edna's spoon stopped in mid air as she gulped a bit before taking the spoon to her mouth. Thomas shot Eva a knowing glare and Eva quickly offered a small smile to Edna. They knew that Edna didn't like to talk about her past." But.... When your letter came .. I can't express how relived I felt that you are safe but still there was a thought that you will come back or not." Eva shuddered at the thought." But I know she would because she is my

    Edna woke up with a jerk sitting up in her bed damped in cold sweat. Edna laboured breath resonated in her room as she gulped down the lump in her dry throat. She jumped up startled when the open windows of her room flapped against the wind.Her eyes swept across her room as her hand went up to her neck finding no blood and cut on that.. she trembling made her way to the window and looked outside to find no cars out there.Was her mind playing tricks on her? Did nothing happened? These questions were in her mind as she made her way downstairs quickly yet quietly.She sighed in relief as she took in the peaceful sleeping form of her adopted parents. Shutting the door softly her shaky legs made her way to the kitchen. Filling up a glass with water she gulped it down through her burning throat putting empty glass on the counter as she massaged her temple.That was a bad dream, a nightmare that felt so real that it she was shaken up pretty badly

    The sweet aroma invaded nostrils of Eva disturbing her sleep, she groggily opened her eyes and her brows twitched when she realized that it was coming from her kitchen. She made her way to the kitchen leaving the sleeping Thomas behind. Her socked feet padded softly on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened when she took in the scene in front of her. There she was making pancakes and stirring the eggs simultaneously with utter concentration. Her Edna looked so adorable with her rich brown hair in a messy bun and her cheeks and nose was being honored with the batter of pancakes. A genuine breathless laugh escaped past Eva's lips making Edna's head snapped at her."Mom!! when did you woke up?" she questioned flipping over the pancakes and turning off the flame of eggs."I wasn't planning to wake up this early." she answered gesturing the still pale blue sky where the sun was struggling to break through the barrier of clouds.

    “Please it’s urgent! just once tell him that Edna called.” Edna cried out desperately not wanting to be deprived of her last tiny hope.“ I’m sorry miss, but sir strictly ordered not to disturb him.” Lady on the phone tried to reason with her, but when Edna insisted again she felt pity on her.With tiny steps lady dragged her feet to the mahogany door of Lucien’s office. She heaved a sigh before timidly knocking on the door. She heard a gruff ‘come in’ and she poked her head through the door only to be met with Lucien’s unnerving glare.“Weren’t you told that I was not supposed to be disturbed?” He muttered in a cold voice his eyes now resting on the paper work in front of him.“Sir! I apologies but this girl was persistent, she asked me to tell you that Edna called it--“ her rambling was cut off as soon as the word Edna escaped her lips, Lucien head snapped up and he was quick to his feet.

  • Heart At Knifepoint   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

    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. &

    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
