"Look, let me.." Daniel said wiping the blood from the back of his hand but went silent when Adriano raised his palm stopping him.
"Don't even try to explain your filthy betrayal to me, DON'T. I trusted you, Daniel but that was a huge mistake." he seethed at him, his face turning a shade of red due to anger.
"You must be wondering how I knew all of this." he said with words laced with venom.
"And you too right?" he asked turning towards Edna who was oblivious of his next move.
*PREVIOUS NIGHT*
"You will know tomorrow but first I have to see something." he said smirking.
"What?" Alberto asked confused.

Edna asked suspiciously furrowing her brows."That's what I would like to know my precious." Adriano muttered slowly looking intently at her as her expression changes from confused to horrified.

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!"

" 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."
