2024-10-29 19:42:56Edna groggily opened her eyes only to shut them because of the blinding sunlight falling directly on her face. She put a hand on her face and squinted her eyes slowly opening them adjusting to the bright light. She looked that the curtains were tied back allowing the sunlight to pour from the enormous window -cum -wall of the room. She groaned lowly as she tried to get up clutching her head in her hands that's when she realized that she was holding Adriano's wrist who's lower half was awkwardly sprawled on the cold floor while his head was cushioned by his free hand.
Edna slowly removed her hand whilst her brows were furrowed in confusion as she couldn't remember what has happened last night. She slowly removed the covers, finding herself still in same clothes as before she let out a relieved sigh and carefully stepped down from the bed. She staggered her way to the closet picking up the first clothing she found and made her way to the bathro

What makes you think that I will believe you?" she spat harshly at Victor and he drew in a breath." If you give me a minute..

" How much time has passed since we had eaten like this together," Thomas voiced out his thoughts as he sit at the middle of the small dining table with Edna at his right and Eva at his left." I missed this so much." Edna said with a small smile taking a bite of her food." For once I lost hope I thought that I would also lose you like your mother," Eva said with worry lacing her voice and Edna and Thomas both frowned at the mention of her real mother. Edna's spoon stopped in mid air as she gulped a bit before taking the spoon to her mouth. Thomas shot Eva a knowing glare and Eva quickly offered a small smile to Edna. They knew that Edna didn't like to talk about her past." But.... When your letter came .. I can't express how relived I felt that you are safe but still there was a thought that you will come back or not." Eva shuddered at the thought." But I know she would because she is my

Edna woke up with a jerk sitting up in her bed damped in cold sweat. Edna laboured breath resonated in her room as she gulped down the lump in her dry throat. She jumped up startled when the open windows of her room flapped against the wind.Her eyes swept across her room as her hand went up to her neck finding no blood and cut on that.. she trembling made her way to the window and looked outside to find no cars out there.Was her mind playing tricks on her? Did nothing happened? These questions were in her mind as she made her way downstairs quickly yet quietly.She sighed in relief as she took in the peaceful sleeping form of her adopted parents. Shutting the door softly her shaky legs made her way to the kitchen. Filling up a glass with water she gulped it down through her burning throat putting empty glass on the counter as she massaged her temple.That was a bad dream, a nightmare that felt so real that it she was shaken up pretty badly

The sweet aroma invaded nostrils of Eva disturbing her sleep, she groggily opened her eyes and her brows twitched when she realized that it was coming from her kitchen. She made her way to the kitchen leaving the sleeping Thomas behind. Her socked feet padded softly on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened when she took in the scene in front of her. There she was making pancakes and stirring the eggs simultaneously with utter concentration. Her Edna looked so adorable with her rich brown hair in a messy bun and her cheeks and nose was being honored with the batter of pancakes. A genuine breathless laugh escaped past Eva's lips making Edna's head snapped at her."Mom!! when did you woke up?" she questioned flipping over the pancakes and turning off the flame of eggs."I wasn't planning to wake up this early." she answered gesturing the still pale blue sky where the sun was struggling to break through the barrier of clouds.

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. &

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?" 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

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. 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
