Daniel let out a long sigh, as his hand brushed the pack of cigarette in his pocket, taking one out. He flicked open the metal lighter, bringing it up to his lips he lit it. Enhaling deeply from it he puffed it out forming a misty fog around his face.
The mist resembled the his brain at the moment, his brain was foggy with different thoughts pluging around it. He rubbed his temple tiredly, with index finger, between which the cigarette was hanging.
Alberto had no idea who had attacked them because apparently they were wearing masks which lead them to dead end. Tailing Carlos haven't gained anything yet.
Daniel felt someone gaze burning hole on the side of his face, very slowly he tilted his face to the side away from the outside view and was met with the honey orbs of the girl he loved to no end.
Daniel smirked lightly, leaning back on the grill of the balcony, taking another huge puff out
" You know what is coming your way don't you?" Valerio murmured, raising her hand up planting a light kiss on her knuckle.Hazel worried orbs clashed with his fury filled one as he looked up at her under his lashes, making her heart race in fright.A flinch involuntary escape her lips when he lifted his hand. Her eyes cleenching shut, but a breath of relief made its way out of her parched throat when she felt his finger brushing stray strand of hair away from her forehead." He is still looking." His whisper was followed by a cold chuckle, making her open her eyes instantly.She blinked away the tears, trying to relax herself from shivering as she now knew Daniel was watching them." Let's leave Cara, shall we?" He give her a charming smile as he guided her inside the car.But she knew better than anyone how much malice and cruelty was
Cold air collided with her stiff form, leaving goosebumps on her skin but the girl was so lost in herself that she didn't have in it to care about it." What do you mean, you can't listen to me?" with a knot forming between her brows, brown hair girl quiered." You are being illogical." Damon whispered, running a thumb through his jawline." There is nothing illogical -" heavily excaliming in anger, Edna fisted her finger dropping them on the boundary wall of the roof." I don't want to come and I definately don't want you to come here." She finished every word was forced with calmness.A sigh was heard on her whim by her brother, who chewed his lips, trying to notch her anger down which he could with high amount of frustration bleeding in her tone." Adriano had asked me to come and fetch you if you don't reach here by tom
In the cold night, a figure sat in the corner of the lavish room, unmoving. His black predatory orbs looked on his prey, unblinking. His midnight hair covering his forehead, as he titled his head to the side, relishing the happiness which he was feeling looking at the peaceful face of his cara. Taking a breath he stood up in a staggering manner as if he was dazed. He blinked his eyes, his cold eyes which was the reason that poor girl trembled in his presence. " Why can't you love me?" Valerio questioned, his voice holding innocence of a child. A child that was deprived of love and care. " Why Cara? " He mumbled, his face stone cold but his eyes flickered with pain for a second as he dropped in a crouch front of the bed where his beloved was passed out. " Why can't you understand that I love you?" He murmured taking a hold of her hand, whose
Hazel furrowed her brows in confusion, looking at the man over her, who sighed deeply before leaning towards and dropping a kiss mid her brows smoothing them out." Come on, get up." He murmured freeing her, letting her breath, through her parched lips.Hazel fearful gaze looked towards him, with caution at his gentle behaviour and soft voice.She couldn't stop the throbbing of her heart as he reached over and supported her back to let her sit. He touched her hair so softly as if afraid of hurting her somehow, not looking at her, his midnight hair was a mess.Her breath hitched in her throat and she unconsciously, shifted back, trying to bury herself in the headboard behind her when he finally let his cold, emotionless orbs locked with hers." Calm down." He whispered lowly, and something like pain and remorse flashes through his otherwise stone cold
Dimly lit room was filled with the sound of anxious footsteps. Edna was wringing her fingers pacing around her room. She sighed heavily, resting her anxious form on the Ottoman places near the window, dropping her head on her hands which she placed against window sill. Her tired brown eyes lit up, as they fell on the blue eyed man who has been ignoring her since yesterday night. She shot up in a sitting position within second, as he cracked his neck, taking long strides towards the garden, abandoning the luxury car behind. Her warm eyes followed him, till her sight allowed her. He was angry at her and it was the first time he hadn't talked to her for almost 24 hrs. She bit her lips as his huge form disappeared inside, leaving her again in inner turmoil. She had been scolded by Damon already and with the love of her life being mad at her, sh
It has been five days since the attack. Alberto has been shifted back to Pietro's mansion. All the eyes were fix on Hazel as she check upon Alberto." He is fine. But don't let him out of the bed it might open his wound." Hazel informed, patting Alberto's shoulders.Rose nodded in understanding sitting beside Alberto on the bed who groaned loudly. Daniel stifled a laugh at the face Alberto was making.His brothers has been fussing over him like a baby. Adriano doesn't allow him to set his foot on the floor. Daniel has been his personal nurse, guiding him back and forth from washroom to back to his bed." Trust me. I know the feeling. It's tiring." Edna who was standing near the foot of the bed said in a voice heavy with sympathy.Rose lightly huffed at that, throwing an annoying look to her, making Edna raise her brow." What?" Brown haired girl narrowed her own eyes at the accusing glare." You are encouraging him,
Hazel quickly jerked her wrist away from his grip, honey widened orbs met with confused green ones. " It's nothing." Hazel murmured, hiding her face behind the curtains of her hair. " Just stop." Daniel exclaimed, closing his eyes, his fingers curling in to fist at his side. " Lying." He hissed out loud, already tired with her behaviour around him. Hazel jumped in her poistion, at his loud voice. Her heartbeat fastened it's pace. " I don't wanna talk right now." She mumbled hurried trying to step past him. Daniel had enough of her keeping things to herself. He stopped her by gripping her shoulder gently. Hazel fretful state was making him anxious. " Hazel, I know something is hurting you. I know there is something you are trying to hide." Daniel soft voice, was messing with the tears she was trying her best to keep at bay. After Valerio's harsh behaviour, Daniel gentleness
There was tense silence in the air. Adriano's fiery eyes were locked on Valerio whose were locked on the girl who was wringing her fingers anxiously." Adriano.." there was hesistancy in her voice and finally Adriano brought his attention to his best friend." I -" Hazel stopped, blinking her eyes gathering the courage she needed to say the next words." I trust you." She finally declared. It was her permission for him to interview in between the matters." Go inside." Adraino let out a order in a calm voice, giving a curt nod in her direction.Hazel give in, give in the protection of her best friend. She knew he will handle it. He always had. She can not live her life in fear, can not live with the question hanging in the back of her mind. What will piss Valerio off, and what will not.She had been living in torment fir the past month just fir the sake of Daniel but she can not. Because she was doin
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." Don't worry, Ma'am
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
Jenna.." Peter stammered out the first name, or excuse he could make.Edna frowned and Adriano followed the suit. Edna hold on Adriano loosen a bit as Peter continued." 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. So much for being the heir of the knights and wife of a Don.Edna lips curled up in a small smile, she wanted to pat Peter on the back for
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
