2024-10-29 19:42:56" What's that?" sudden question brought Adriano back from his sleepy haze and he looked at her with confusion.
" This ring." Edna answered the unasked question and Adriano sit up straight.
Edna watched quietly as he ran a hand over his face almost triedly. She bit her lips waiting for him.
" You are Don now-" her words grabbed his attention and he turned to look at her.
" That's .. that's why Valentine called you that today." realisation finally set its roots in her brain as she looked back at him for affirmation. A curt nod was given to her.
" I am sending you to NY tomorrow." His declaration earned a few blinks from her.
" What? No. Where that come from?" She quired with parted lips getting off the couch.
" This-" Adriano held up his finger showing the ring. "- binds me here. I can't leave now. " He stated th

Heart At Knifepoint ABOUT TIME
Adriano fixed his cuffs, eyes lingering on the stubborn beauty which was sleeping soundly with parted lips." Stubborn." Adriano commented as he remembered the way she pursued him into not sending her back to New York." You are going to be death of me, sweetheart." He whispered softly against her hair as he pressed his lips there.Blue eyes closed in their own as he inhaled her smell. He sometimes just wanted to bottle that up and took it everywhere he went so that his mind and heart will be at peace." Yes." He answered starightening his form, hearing a soft knock on the door." Adriano, please let me come with you." Daniel almost pleaded while Adriano raised his brow strapping his black watch over his wrist." Daniel, you are to stay here. I don't trust anyone when it's about her." Adriano replied firmly blue eyes involuntary flickere
Heart At Knifepoint DON
Adriano scanned the giant hall from the balcony, with a huge chandelier, long table in the middle around which sit people which considered as most dangerous people of Italy.He strided slowly downstairs with Donatello in tow, some head turn towards him and the loud noise turned into murmur as one by one head turned towards the blue eyed man. There were so many emotions present in the man there curiosity, pride, anticipation he could feel it.But did he cared, no. Not really. His eyes roamed on the faces of the people, he knew everyone of them not personally but he had been reading their files. His eyes stuck on the chair placed at the head of the table. The chair which his nonno used to sit on. A pang of sadness hit him hard but he endured it, he had too. His nonno had trusted him with such responsibility so he way make sure he fill up that role." I will just skip with the greetings and start why
Heart At Knifepoint LEASH
" Doll?!" Adriano whispered , his brows furrowing together in worry." You are in deep trouble when you get back home!" furious voice of his wife eased the worry in his heart as it started beating with its normal pace again." Am I ?" He questioned, amusement lacing his voice as he walked away from the possible evasdropper around him.He stepped over the dead body, and make sure to not get any blood on his shoes. Those were new. He gave a nod to Donatello in that direction commanding him to get rid of them as he walked further away from three of them." Oh! You just doubled your trouble by asking that." She chewed out the words and Adriano couldn't help but chuckle at the threat given to him.Carlo and Valentine exchanged surprised look with each. This man just killed two people a few minutes before. Shook most dangerous people of the city with his a
Heart At Knifepoint FIRST STEP
Blue corrolla stopped on the empty road, tress standing tall in rows and rows around it.Adriano drummed his finger on the steering wheel as he finally heard something that was worthy of attention on the black earpiece he had stuffed in his ear." Ciao capo." Panic voice of Carlo Capone filled his ear making Adriano still in his seat.( Hello, Boss)" Le cose non stanno andando come avevamo pianificato capo. Questo Adriano ci sta creando problemi. Mi ha solo chiesto di togliere Russo e De Luca dagli affari. " After a pause there Carlo started again, frustration and anger was evident in his voice. Adriano kicked up his brow listening this, rolling his shirt sleeves upto his elbow.( Things are not going the way we had planned boss. This Adriano is creating problem for us. He just asked me to remove Russo and De Luca from business.)Adrian
Heart At Knifepoint DELIRIOUS
Sienna's silver eyes observed the hot bowl of risotto in front of her. She graceful took a spoonful of it, blowing softly over it before she eat it.All cooks eyes were stuck on her as she chewed it slowly as they wait for her apporval. That was the rule of Pietro's house that no food will be served unless Sienna had apporved it. Although, for few days she wasn't able to carry on this rule because of the vulnerable position she was in." Ha bisogno di poco più sale.(It needs a little more salt.)" She adviced , placing the spoon back on the counter wiping her lips with napkin." Si, Signora. (Yes, madam.)" Head of the cooks nodded her head before taking away the bowl." What are you doing here nonna?" Complaining voice of her nipote( grandson) brought a smile on her lips, the corner of her eyes crinkled as she did so." It's too hot

Hazel bit her lips in pure concentration as her observant honey orbs trained on the cut as she cleaned." Stella, you can't keep this going?!" Hazel muttered wrapping a guaze around the said women wisrt." I have no other option, Hazel." Black eyed women answered helplessly." You have , you can sue him for domestic violence!" Hazel cried out standing up from her chair. Stella let out a forced, mocking laugh at her suggestion." Carlo Capone is the best lawyer of the city himself, and no one will be stupid enough to take a head on case against consignelier unless that person has a death wish." Stella answered with leveled voice standing up , taking her bag from the table." Stay out of it Hazel. He is not a good man." Hazel scoffed at her advice." He can't harm me unless he has a death wish." Hazel hotly comple
Heart At Knifepoint POLITICS
Daniel leaned against the car waiting for Adriano, eyes closed behind the black shades. Unaware of the several gazes locked on his form draped in a green t-shirt and white pants. The girls which were hunched on the kitchen's window sill held up their breath as his dark brown strand fall over his creased forehead.Edna was strolling outside in her blue pj 's, a loose long black silk cardigan over it. She put a hand over her mouth as she yawned, eyes barely opening this early in the morning. But then she heard, voices making her frown, she walked outside and the voices turned into whispers then into giggle.Her brown sleepy eyes looked at the group of kitchen helpers gathered around the window, whispering in each other's ears pointing towards the parking area. She followed their gaze and found Daniel leaning against the car in all his handsome glory." You have earned number of fans." She whispered standing nex

The double door of the hall opened with a thud, grasping everyone attention as head turned towards the source.Adriano icy gaze filled with proud as his lips form a devilish smirk. Murmurs and whiskers filled the otherwise silent hall as Daniel dragged the irish assassin across the length of the hall. He released him forcefully and the impact made him stagger and fall right at Adriano's feet.Valerio's curious gaze scanned the man whose mouth was sealed shut with duct tape. His eyes black and forehead had dried blood on it as if someone had hit him hard on the head." Gentlemen, you must be curious about this new face." Adriano smiled, a cold, teeth sharp smile as he turned to address the members of familgia." He is a part of Irish mafia yet he was freely roaming here." Adriano filled in the detail, taking his gun from his waistband, his eyes roamed over all the people across

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
Heart At Knifepoint AWAITING STORM
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. &
Heart At Knifepoint UNMASKED
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
Heart At Knifepoint ANTICIPATION
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
Heart At Knifepoint EXTENDED HELP
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
Heart At Knifepoint FACADE
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
Heart At Knifepoint FURIOUSLY DERANGED
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
Heart At Knifepoint SOLACE
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
