2024-10-29 19:42:56"Edna William is the adopted daughter of Eva and Thomas William." Cody said hurriedly not wanting to anger him more though the eerie silence on the other line was killing him.
"What? What did you just say?" Adriano spat loudly in the phone shockingly as he rested his hand now on the steering wheel.
"Yes, they adopted her 11 years ago." Cody answered as Ariano drummed his fingers against the steering as he realized that Edna was talking about who in her sleep her real mother.
"Who are her real parents then?" he asked curiously wanting to know more of Edna's past.
"That I don't know, they just took her with them saying that they found her on a road while they were coming back from their journey. There is nothing I about her real parents." Cody breathed out slightly confused that why the hell he was so interested in her but didn't dare to ask the question.
"Fine. Dig more info if you can." Adriano said

Adriano let out a annoying huff locking his cell phone as he felt a gaze burning the side of his face for at least fifteen minutes, he looked up from his phone to his side only to find Edna giving him a deathly glare."What?" he questioned tiredly as his blue orbs locked with her brown blazing ones."You know what?" Edna spatted almost chewing out all the words hands clenching her small fist which was resting on her lap."You didn't leave me any choice. What am I supposed to do?" he flinched at her tone and muttered the last part innocently looking down.Edna had created an enormous fuss refusing to go to New York. After so much convincing and warnings she didn't alter her decision so Adriano dragged her into a private jet that almost landed in New York."Argh! When is this stupid thing gonna stop?" she asked before taking a deep breath, irritation clearly visible in her voice. She was a practical p
Heart At Knifepoint MIXED EMOTION
14 years, it's been 14 long years since she set her foot inside this mansion. Edna remembered the day when they left her home. Yes, it was her home, the place where she grew up, where she became a teen from an infant. Ah! So many memories were buried here. A smile involuntary worked it's way on Edna's lips but that didn't last as her lips frowned and she furrowed her brows together.What if her uncle Lucien recognized her? What if Damon became aware of her real identity which she was hiding for years and almost forget who she was 11 years before. She let out a small gasp thinking all this making Adriano frown."What's wrong?" he queried placing a hand on the small of her back, bringing her attention to him. She can't just give away the truth. Could she? Edna quickly composed herself before answering."What's wrong? You are asking me what's wrong?" She questioned him in a hushed tone narrowing her eyes in slits as confusion plastered

Pain and agony.Those were the two perfect words that described Edna's situation perfectly. Though she was habitual of getting kidnapped, her head was hurting like hell; as if someone was nailing on it or a hammer was punching on her head repeatedly.I admit it this is the worst one.She was really angry at the moment, why? Those men kidnapped her now. This thing was happening in a cycleand it was pissing her off very much.She groaned opening her eyes and was instantly met with harsh light. She barely flinched and tried to shield her eyes with her hands but her bad her hands were tied up behind her back. She finally looked around to find herself in a medium sized room with 2 windows. All the walls were painted white giving it a look of a hospital. She looked to her left and find Hazel still passed and in the same position as hers; hands tied behind the chair and legs also secured in a vice like grip tied up
Heart At Knifepoint REVEALED
EDNA’S POV“Boss, Adriano is here..” as soon as those words slipped from his mouth I sighed in relief. For the first time I was happy about his presence.“What!How the hell did he find this place?” The bi-polar voice spoke, aka Vincet yelled running a hand through his hair.“I don’t know Boss but we should leave.” The douche bag Matt said carefully. Well anyone would be careful talking to the ultimate bi-polar person because you never know what he is going to do.“I am not leaving…he had come alive to this place but he is not going to leave alive.” The grey eyed lunatic said with a smirk on his face, as Igulped down the lump painfully slow as I looked to my side to see a horrified Hazel.Hazel was the type of girlwho de-motivatedvery well. Oh, yes! I was scared of the evil glint that was shinning very bright in Vincent's eyes, clearly n
Heart At Knifepoint FALLING FOR HIM OR NOT?
Edna stirred in her sleep grabbing Adriano’s attention. He looked down at her who was curled up on his chest; he closed his own eyes when hers started fluttering open. Edna groaned loudly removing his hands from her waist. She sighed rubbing her temple. This was the second time she woke up in such a situation. She gently slipped away from the comforter not wanting to wake him up though he was awake already. She cracked her neck and gently massaged her shoulders with the palm of her hands, which were stiff.“Dammit!!” she hissed out as soon as she remembered what Damon said before she blacked out. There was an uncertainty in her thoughts about listening to him.She licked her dry lips before running a hand through her hair. She was still in the same dress as before; she shook her head making her way out of the room.“Going somewhere?” she jumped a little at the sudden question. She turned around and blinked as she saw Adriano standing up beside the

"I think I told you that I would chop those legs of yours but it seems like you aren't heeding my words. Now, it's reallythe time for your punishment." he dead panned at her and her brown orbs widened visibly at his words. She bit inside of her cheeks looking anywhere but him.I am screwed, yes?!"I can explain..." she said cautiously, hands in front of her as if dealing with a wild animal. She took small steps towards him who crossed his arms over his chest and raised a brow when he saw the knife shinning in her hand."I was thirsty so I came down and then I heard some noises and.....the rest you know." She trailed off with a nervous small when his stoic expression remained the same."So if you want to chop my legs...here you go." she offered the knife with her hand open mockingly but kept a serious expression but her eyes widened like a saucer when he lifted his hand to take the knife. She closed her palm and clutched the knife in he
Heart At Knifepoint PAST MEMORIES
Edna opened her eyes groggily and sat up stretching her arms. A yawn escaped her lips as she looked outside the enormous window of the room. She slipped out of the bed making her way towards the window. Today was awfully cold, fog was surrounding the whole garden.She let out a sigh slipping on the cardigan, her eyes went wide open when they fell on the wall clock. It was showing 2 in the afternoon."Shit! How long have I been asleep?" she muttered to herself and made her way to the closetbut something on the side table of bed caught her eyes. There was a small note placed on that.I will be busy today, take care of yourself and try not to get in trouble ;)The handwriting was a bit rough and it looked like that it was written in a haste. She shook her head and smiled but her smile turned into a deep frown."Why can't he just give up already?" she frowned placing the note back to it's place and took out a long sleeve white t-shir
Heart At Knifepoint OLD FRIEND
"You" Edna's voice came out muffled and the person holding her brought his finger to his lips shushing her as he slowly removed his hands."What the hell are you doing here?!" they both hissed lowly in unison and the man rolled his chocolate brown orbs at her question as he backed up."What do you mean? What I am doin' here I work here Edna!" he sighed out drastically and Edna let out a long breath."And why am I not shocked that my best friend Nathan works for a Don" Edna said shaking her head in disappointment before crossing her arms over her torso."For god's sake Edna that's not the real question. I was always the bad guy remember, the one that got suspended from school again and again-""Okay I know, and sometimes I really think how are we are even friends let alone best friends." Edna grumbled under her breath looking at her shoes."You are wasting my time.. just tell me what the hell are you doin- wait you were kidna

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

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."
