" Only thing I regret, is he being here. He wasn't supposed to be here." Edna gritted out angrily, it wasn't that furious anger but more like worried one.
Just as she finished a bullet went right through the head of one of the men who was holding Adriano.
" He wasn't supposed to be risking his life for me." Edna's voice raised an octave.
Vincent eyes widened and Adriano smirked quickly taking the advantage of the situation, knocking his head right on the other men as more gunshot resonated from downstairs.
" Why would I regret when I planned all this." Edna laughed out humorlessly as a bullet went right through Vincent's shoulder making him stagger backward. A small scream of pain erupted from his throat, a fire like pain filled up in his vein making him drop the gun.
