Edna glared hard at the rebellious batter of crepes sizzling in the hot pan, turning a shade of charcoal for the nth time. Huffing a breath, she scrapes down the pan, in a plate, which held so many proofs of her failed attempts at making crepes.
“Okay!” She took a deep breath, taming down her frustration. Putting the pan on the stove with much more than required force, she again took a ladle of batter. Pouring it over the sizzling butter on the pan; twirling pan to fill every inch of pan with batter.
“ Why?!!” She whined out as she tried to flip the crepes. The once perfect round shape turned

Unpredictable, that is a word, which defines life perfectly. Edna sighed looking at the stone feature of Sienna. Sienna had not shed a single tear, not even a sob escaped passed her pressed lips. Edna wondered how she was holding up this good. She would have been broke down by now.Edna’s eyes skimmed through the crowd, trying to find the blue-eyed man and find him at the very front of the crowd near the casket.

Edna was lost in the world of her own thoughts. Cold air nipped over her skin making her tightening her cardigan around her biting her lips as she did so. She wondered what Sienna wanted to tell Adriano that required her absence. Racking a hand through her still mild wet air, she forced her eyes to look away from the vast garden and leaned her head on the pillar. " Hey." a soft voice jerked her back from her thoughts. She cocked her head to the side looking at familiar person. " Hey." She whispered back, as Daniel hugged her from the side. " How is Alberto?" She questioned as he stood beside her, his green eyes looking briefly towards the garden before resting on her. " He will be fine. That was a sudden blow but we are use to it. The world we live in is a world of uncertainty. When we wake up in the morning we are not so sure that we will

Valerio hissed out, his eyes darkened to that extent, it looked it has swallowed up his whole eyes.(" How dare you? How f*cking dare you?")Edna licked up her lips locking at Valerio who rocked his head from side to side with closed eyes. Edna looked at Daniel who stiffened slightly beside her, on high alert.Her brown orbs widened as suddenly and so swiftly Valerio materialize a knife from his sleeves, it just popped out landing directly on his palm. As soon as that metal showed it's appearance Daniel pushed her behind him and next second he was the one put on knifepoint instead of her."Mossa." Valerio ordered coldly to Daniel.

Adriano looked closely at the black gem on his finger which was his family ring. This ring was only given to the one who going to be the head of familia, the Don. It rest now in his finger, the weight of it was so small but the duty and responsibility it demands was way too much. He sighed resting his head on the chair, his mind was still wrapping around all the things." Pietro!" A soft voice called. Adriano opened his blue eyes looking at the girl with whom he had shared a large part of his life. Hazel poked her head inside and a part of her felt immediate relief." Shortie." Adriano whispered as he stood up from his chair and met her mid way. She hugged him resting her head on his chest." I'm sorry! I couldn't save him." She whispered out heartbroken in his chest.

" Donatello?" Adriano asked confused as Donatello entered his office around mid night. When he was just wrapping all the things and was going to retire for the night." Can I take your few minutes, Maestro?" The utmost respect was ozing in his tone. Adriano nodded his head giving his permission." What is it?" Adriano quiered stuffing the files inside the drawers. He had read throughly all the files, all the stuff he needed." Valerio and Signora had a little dispute." Donatello murmured lowly and Adriano hand stopped whatever he was doing and cut his gaze to the old man." Over?" He asked curtly, leaning in the table with both his hands." That I am not aware of. But she slapped him." Donatello informed and Adriano winched then arched his brow in amusement.This girl." It was a good thing Daniel was there b

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."

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.

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.

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."

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

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.
