" The owner of this restaurant, Carlo Capone."  She frowned, the gears in her head turning rapidly. 

" The consignelier, I presume." She commented, the man lips spilt into a cocky grin. One of his guard slithered behind her unaware that she noticed his moments.

" Oh! Looks like you have heard about me.. All good things?" He asked playfully, and Edna give him a full sharp teeth smile of her, which was a forewarning of her bad mood. 

" I am afraid.." she trailed off, and in the next second she kicked at the shin of the man who was creepting behind her as he was trying to pull out his gun.

The man dropped on his knees and Edna grabbed his hair pushed him with such strength that had him fall first on his face, kissing the floor. With the help of her shoes she turned him over and took the gun he was toying before in his hand while he gruntes in pain clutching his forehead.

You had to appear like that!" Daniel exclaimed annoyingly, while Adriano raised a brow at him coolly." Cleared the stage of that assassin game I was stuck on."

Edna replied calmly, following her outside.Edna was curious for why Sienna called her. After going through lots of turn, maid finally stopped in front of the wooden door that belonged to Sienna's room. After getting permission to enter, maid opened the door and with a bow walked away."

The enormous garden was bathed in moonlight, four people gathered around the small round table placed in the middle of it. All were deep in thoughts, have their own meaning towards, but all for one person." Why you think that something is wrong?" Daniel asked breaking the silence, looking at Rose who took a breath." Because she would have told me-" then earned an eye roll from Daniel and sigh from Edna. "- and the fact that she do not like diamond. Have you ever saw her earring diamond? No because she does not like it. But still she had one red diamond ring on her finger." Rose explained, she had a fair share of shopping together with Hazel so she knew her likes and dislikes."

    Edna tried to carefully lift up his head from her lap but she stopped when he frowned in his sleep causing her action and breath to stop for a second. She dropped the idea of going away, smoothing out the frown on his forehead. She pulled out her phone slowly from her pocket, in order to not disturb the of the raging storm which had just calm down after leaving remnants of it on the floor.Edna dialed the number waiting for it to be picked, her eyes narrowed lightly when no one picked even after two rings, her eyes idly looking around the office and then it widened leaving a gasp from her lips as they fell on the clock. It was 2 am in the morning, that's why no one was picking up her call. She did not realise that it was this late. Just when she was about to hang up, her call was picked up."

Adriano looked up at brown haired man giving a curt nod." How did it go?" Adriano asked, passing the large container boxes as workers loaded them with guns." I had recorded everything." Fabio replied falling in stride with Don as their shoes lightly slapped on concrete road." Let's get inside first."

    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."

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?"

    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."

    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.

    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.
