"You got nothing better to come up for my fake passport? Your wife?Really?" Edna burst out as soon as they were out of the airport. Glaring daggers at him she turned to look at him who was busy with his phone.
"Hey, I am talking to you!" she exclaimed angrily swatting at his shoulder. He just let out a sigh and removed his shades.
"What is there to be angry about. You are going to be Edna Adriano Pietro one day. So, technically it wasn't a lie." he said calmly shrugging off his shoulders as he looked past her adorable face which was getting redder.
"Well, there is no cure for illusions. I.. just can't stop you from day dreaming .." she said giving him her best sarcastic smile and he just shook his head biting his lips.
"You and I both know ... darling I change my dream into reality." he whispered out bending towards her and she kissed her teeth and opened her mouth to retort but was cut off.
"Benvenuto!! Giovane Maestro!" a ba
Edna let out gasp when she saw that Faustino gun was empty. Edna eyes wondered her surrounding and she let out a sigh when they fell on decent size stone. She was good always with targeting. So she took it in her hands squinting her eyes she targeted it at his head."I never thought I will get to kill The Great Faustino Pietro. Now, say goodbye to Sicily and to the world." the man said smirking but before he could have pulled the trigger, that stone make contact with his forehead startling him."Not today!" Edna said standing from her hiding spot.His hand fell to his side and that was enough time for Faustino to snatch his gun and pressed it on his forehead without wasting any further time he shot him right on the head. Blowing his brain off, he looked at Edna and nodded at her."You okay?" She asked coming towards him and he did the same."Yes, I am. Are you?" He asked her worriedly, her brow furrowed disgustingly looking at dead bo
Adriano looked at the ramshackle house in front of him. There were two guards posted at the entrance. Despite Faustino warning Adriano digged out information about Luca Romano through his way and found out that he was hiding at the border of Catania. He squinted his eyes trying to look inside but got nothing it was too far from the range of human eyes. He sighed and put silencer on both his gun and quietly walk to the back side of the house. Jumping like a cat he landed perfectly inside the garden or just ground because there was no grass there. He shot two men who was guarding the entrance and because of the silencer no voice came out. He quietly put a step at the creaky wooden floor of the stairs at the back door. He heard footsteps and went completely still and waited for them to came out as soon as the door was opened he snapped his neck and gently put him down not wanting to get any attention. He get inside but unfortunately as he turned the corner there were two
The rays of sunshine peeked from the curtains, making Adriano scowl in his sleep. He groggily opened his eyes, grunting softly from the pain which was still present but it just all disappeared when his eyes fell on Edna. Edna was sleeping resting her head on headboard still sitting since his head was laid on her lap. This was the best morning of his life, best moment of his life by which he can pass all his life just replaying that one moment. His hands were firmly clasped with hers, a big smile appeared on his face as he looked at their intervened fingers. She didn't removed her hand even when he had fallen asleep. He lifted his free hand to tuck the strand of her hair which had fallen on her face covering the heavenly view from him. He barely brushed his hand through her face securing that strand behind her ear. That simple movement stirred her sleep causing him to remove his hand quickly from her face. He quietly closed his eyes pretending to sleep. He just wanted to lay&nb
It's been a week almost a week since they had came back from Italy. Adriano been very much busy lately either it's because of his absence in Virginia or some other reason Edna had no idea about it. On the contrary she was happy, having a conversation with him since their last encounter was the last thing she wanted. He almost got keyword almost got her to believe that she actually cared about him. She wanted to ignore him until she would escape from here. He was messing badly with her brain which she couldn't stand. They rarely saw each other nowadays which she was grateful about but still the first thing she got to saw in morning was those mesmerizing blue eyes which shines brightly like a cat whenever he saw her waking up. A smile plastered on his face as always as she gives him some kind of positivity to start his day or as if he was lost and she was his light in oblivion. Sometime she thought how longer could he go like this.Edna was always being a ob
Edna was fighting very hard not to grin like an idiot listening the news which Nathan just had told her. Now, that the main problem was solved, she had to acknowledge the second problem. How would she get out of here? The question was stuck in her brain as she started to take a round of mansion. She shook her head as she crossed the area of that. backdoor which had code lock safety. She can't use that one to get out. A sigh escaped past her lips, front gate was not even an option to consider since it had always guards there. She licked up her lips as she crossed her library section the window where she used to sit behind. As soon as she crossed it , few feet away there was a back door. She looked around it to find it was back door of kitchen. She couldn't help the grin that came over her face. Yes, she remembered one of the Maids what was her name yes, Susan accidentally told her that there were no cameras outside here. Edna looked at the tall tree just in front of the door which wa
There was Damon standing in nice blue tux without bow though and his black hair however was in a quiff unlike Adriano's messy hair. His forest green eyes were curiously peeking at her glass which she hid behind her." Hello to you too. And it just a mocktail." She replied rolling her eyes and gulped down the remaining liquid in one go.Adriano came out of the office room. Eager to be with doll as soon as possible but when he saw Damon with her his blood boiled from the far corner he could see Daniel approaching Edna but he didn't want him to interrupt her, she was yearning for freedom so he wanted to give her so that she won't feel prisoned. Although she was captivated by his piercing gaze. He was certain that if Damon did something wrong today he would kill him. Adriano pulled out his phone and called Daniel. He told him to not bother her let her be. He can enjoy the party he had eyes on her."Eh! So you don't dri
" I said stop now!" Her voice boomed loudly as she slapped a hand on the dash board with equal force making him hit the break instantly."What?!" He asked bewildered at her sudden outburst."What is he asking?" She mumbled under her breath fiddling with her seat belt and Adriano looked at her in confusion."What are you doing?" He asked with a raised brow when she with much struggle freed herself the from seat belt and was trying to open the door."Open this" she slurred out and he barely understood what she was saying and just shook his head in denial. She didn't spare him a single glance as her eyes were glued outside the window."Please!!" She whispered out finally tearing her gaze away from window to lock with the strangely familiar blue one."No Doll-""Please! Please Adriano! Please!!!" She whined out hurriedly tugging on his arms giving him no chance to speak whatsoever, he opened his mouth to deny but she covered his han
Edna 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
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
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." Don't worry, Ma'am
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
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
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
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
