Love In The Shadows UNEXPECTED VISIT
Adriana's POV At this point, I would do just about anything to leave this darn house but running away was far from the options because no matter where I went, I would be found.I was now publicly the wife of the most ruthless and well known Mafia Lord and if I were to run far away, I would still be found within a week.I was in my bathroom watering my face because of the dizziness I was still feeling from the fall. “Get her off my couch immediately,” Diego's words echoed in my mind.Indeed, he was ruthless and had no sympathy whatsoever for anyone. My head banged as I bent to pour little water on it. I had different pains ranging from headache, body ache and sprained hand pain at that moment.My whole body ached so much that I felt like I was hit by an iron rod. I didn't know what to do anymore.Ever since I had arrived at this house, I've only experienced problems and nothing good. I was in no position to do anything myself right then so I had to call up Camilia, my best friend.I

Mr Antonio's POV I walked into the living room in my son's house and shouted his name immediately.“Diego! Diego!” I called . My voice echoed throughout the house but no one responded. It was like no one was around; even the servants were nowhere to be seen.I called again, this time in a louder voice but still there was no response. I needed to know the situation of things right now. I waited a minute before deciding to go upstairs and check for my son.As I approached the stairs to climb up, Luis started coming down the stairs.“Mr Antonio, when did you arrive?” Luis asked surprisingly. I moved from the stairway to give way for him to come down the stairs.“Not up to five minutes,” I replied as I watched Luis hurry down the stairs. He seemed like he was in a hurry to go somewhere.“Where are you off to in a hurry?” I questioned Luis. Maybe he already knew what was going on.“I'm going to meet Diego outside Sir, he just arrived now,” Luis replied and quickly ran out the door.Perple

Adriana's POV I pressed my body against the bathroom door to prevent it from opening. The person tried harder but I tightened the pressure from my body against the door. Who was this person? And why was the person trying to force its way in?“Camilia is that you?” I asked. I figured it might be Camilia since I had told her to come. No one responded the first time I asked so I asked again.“Camilia is that you? If it isn't Camilia then who are you please?” I asked.The person cleared his throat to speak and that was when I knew it was a man.“Adriana, it's me,” the person replied. What? Juan? Why was he here?“Juan, why are you here?” I questioned. Why didn't he say anything before coming?“Come out and I promise to explain everything to you,” Juan said . One day, he would put both of us in trouble with the way he constantly comes here.“Just a sec,” I said. I rinsed the foam off my hair, dried it with a towel and then took the robe hanging near the door and wore it.I came out of th

Adriana's POV“WHAT?” I screamed. I couldn't understand why my father would arrange such a thing without my approval first. “I will never marry him, Dad!”. I said, filled with anger and hoping for him to change his mind.“I know that you despise that family and mafia as a whole, but I am doing this for your own good”, my dad replied. I didn't like his tone; he sounded genuinely concerned about me which was rare coming from him.“I raised you as a single dad, but now that you have grown, I need to be reassured that you are safe and in good hands.“Good hands?”. That word felt wrong to me. They are a mafia family and our worst rivals. How could I ever feel safe in their so-called hands? My tone sounded sarcastic but I didn't care. I didn't want to reason with my dad; it felt futile.“I am doing this to stop bloodshed among us and keep you safe” he continued, trying to convince me. These explanations weakened me the more.“I have arranged the marriage and you will get married to him. It

Diego's POV I fired a shot and memories began flooding in. I can still remember that day vividly. I kept firing shots as the echoes of that fateful day crashed against my mind. I could still see her face, pale and fragile, as she gasped for breath.The memories were sharp. I was a mature man then, ready to take over from where my father left off, yet I could cry like a small child when my mother died.I had failed her. I had been too weak, too scared to save the one person who meant everything to me. The guilt consumed me.As I kept firing, lost in the past, the present faded away. Not a soul tried to save her; some merely stood by, watching, while the others escaped the scene. The damage had already been done and nothing would ever be the same again.That incident turned me into a stern, merciless, and unforgiving person. I came dangerously close to becoming just like my father; the only difference was that I could never harm a woman. I left the dirty work to my loyal men.“Mr Diego

Adriana's POV “Do you take Mr Diego to be your lawful wedded husband?” The priest's words sent shivers down my spine. I looked into Diego's eyes and felt his anger and hatred just from our gaze.“Yes,” I hesitantly replied in a whisper when someone shook me. I looked around until I saw Mr Antonio. I sensed a hidden agenda behind this sudden arrangement.I wanted to say something foolish but the smile in my father's eyes stopped me in my tracks. “Why did he have to be bleeding from his nose?” I thought. Seeing his bleeding nose when he turned to look at me when we were at home scared me, and I felt I had to accept the marriage just to keep him happy.“Yes, I do,” I finally said, giving in to the marriage. At that moment, Juan walked into the church, breathing heavily like he had been running. I gave him a look and he understood immediately, stopping in his tracks.It was too late to do anything now.The ride back home was dead silent, and I could hear my heart beating. “Why did Diego

Adriana's POVMy mind felt foggy as I tried to open my eyes but everything was blurry.What happened to me?The last thing I remembered was Diego beating up that guy. I gasped as I realized that I must have gone into shock because of the incident. As I looked around, I realized I wasn't in my house; I was in an unfamiliar place and my wedding gown was changed into comfy nightwear.I recalled gasping for breath and I became insecure. I thought that issue had finally passed because I had not experienced it in a long time, but now, it seems to have returned. I didn't know how I would tell Juan about this.Just as I was about to get up from the bed, I heard footsteps approaching my door. I quickly lay back down on the bed, pretending to be asleep. The door opened and I could hear two different sets of footsteps approaching me.“I have no time to waste on her, so just do as I instructed,” a deep and cold voice commanded. I figured it was Diego. “At exactly 8 PM, bring her to the venue and

Diego's POV Indeed, various syndicates were attending the party, including some lesser-known ones. However, I knew I was the best among them; there was no arguing about it.“Where is Adriana?” I asked Luis as he approached me when I arrived.She is in the restroom,” Luis replied.I wasn't comfortable with her being alone at all. “Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her at all times? I don't trust her at all, especially after what I just discovered.”It wasn't that she was a threat to me but I didn't want her to ruin my plans.“I will go check on her, but first let me tell you why I called you here,” Luis said, as if in a hurry.I agreed to let him continue.“Mr Delgado said that he has an offer that could benefit you greatly.” How did that concern me? As far as I knew, the Delgado syndicate was beneath me and under my control.“Don't you know that I don't take offers from syndicates of no stature? Tell him I'm not interested.” I told Luis.“Your father said you should meet with him,

Love In The Shadows HE WAS UNCONCERNED
Diego's POV“Where are the servants in this house? Get some water quickly,” Luis instructed at the top of his voice.Why was he even worried about her? She fainted all the time like it was her signature move to escape from something. It's better he left her there by herself then when she's finally tired, she will wake up from her so-called fainting on her own.I could still hear Luis and the servants' voices. “She has woken up sir,” one servant said. For heaven's sake, couldn't they talk in a low tone? “Why was my study made to be so close to the stairway?” I asked myself.I really needed fresh air from Adriana's shenanigans and the house as a whole. I went into my bedroom to get changed into more decent clothes.As I took off my shirt, I glanced at my injury and was confused on seeing that it was changed to a new dressing.“This is definitely not how I dressed my wound earlier,” I thought to myself. However,I wasn't in a mood to reason about such a trivial matter so I set aside the
Love In The Shadows HOME ACCIDENT
Adriana's POV “I said to remain where you are,” Diego's voice echoed in the stairway. Then I heard a click and I had to pause and see what he was up to. To my dismay, he was holding a gun and pointing it right at me.Panic set in.I didn't heed to his order and I slowly moved back little by little till he clicked his gun again.“If you move another inch, I'll start with your legs,” Diego warmed sternly. I had caused this on myself because I shouldn't have spoken carelessly and arrogantly to Diego and I should have minded my business.But how could I allow a woman old enough to be his mother kneel down and beg Diego. It was disheartening to witness that scene so I had to speak up.“Look how it's so easy to catch you,” Diego said, smirking and coming up the stairs. “Let's see how you run away and shut your door again,” he teased in an unpleasant way.The more he kept on walking towards me, the more I became scared of what the outcome would be.“I swear, I'm going to tame and punish you
Love In The Shadows HEARTLESS MAN
Adriana's POV I shut my eyes in fear when Diego held my wrist and I was waiting for the worst to happen. He took my hand and placed it on his chest.I waited a few seconds with my eyes still shut but there was no movement from him again so I opened my eyes to see that he had fallen back asleep.“Phew!” I sighed quietly.Slowly, I managed to remove my wrist from his grip and I lay his hands gently on the bed. I looked at the injury and found that Diego did not even bandage or clean it well.I stood up to leave his room but my conscience did not let me leave him like that; maybe because he took the bullet and still saved my life.I went back to his bed, removed the bandage covering his injury and searched the drawers for his first aid kit.Oof! The injury was really deep and had not begun to heal at all.I brought out the cotton wool, cleaned his wounds gently and then used bandages to cover the injury properly. I was covering his injury with the hand of his shirt and that was when I l
Love In The Shadows ALMOST CAUGHT
Mr Antonio's POV “Mr Antonio I….” Luis began but stopped when he entered in on us.I immediately stood up from where I sat and hurried to the door in order to restrict Luis from entering further. The man was also on alert and put on his mask quickly.“What are you doing here Luis?” I asked. “Weren't you supposed to have left an hour ago?”“Yes sir, but I forgot to mention something to you so I came back,” Luis said. He was shooting glances at the man in my office and I feared that he might recognise the man.“Can we please talk later….” I told Luis before the man interrupted.“Antonio, I should get going, we'll talk next time,” the man said with a disguised voice and he walked right past us and out of my office. At least, he was finally gone.“Come in Luis,” I said, when the man was finally gone. He came in but refused to sit down because he was in a hurry.“Sir, I just came to tell you that despite Diego waiting for Mr Delgado, the latter did not show up,” Luis explained.“I don't k
Love In The Shadows BIG FIGHT
Diego's POV “Leave me alone,” Adriana cried as I gripped her neck tightly. I was too furious to listen so I tightened my grip. If only she minded her words, she wouldn't be pleading for her life right now.She slapped and kicked me multiple times but it didn't have any effect on me. Suddenly, she pressed hard on the injury on my shoulder where I was shot and the pain pierced through me so much that I had to release her from my grip.“Get back here Adriana,” I said while chasing after her as she ran towards the door. However, the pressure she applied on the injury made it to sting me badly and I stopped chasing after her and sat down on a chair nearby in my study.“Templeton!” I called one of my men in a loud voice. He ran into the study and saw me in pain.“Boss, what happened?” he asked. “Do you need me to take you to a hospital?” I dreaded hospitals and pharmacys therefore, I couldn't go there.“Just bring my medical kit from my drawer beside the shelves,” I told him, still in slig
Love In The Shadows HATRED HAS BEGUN
Adriana's POV “Boom, boom, boom,” someone knocked loudly on my bedroom door.“I give you five minutes to come and see me in my study room,” the voice shouted and I knew at once that it was Diego. The thought of going to see him made me shiver because I knew it would not end well.“I haven't recovered from what he did to me earlier this morning and now another incident wants to happen?” I thought. There was no way I could avoid going to see him even if I wanted to because he was in control of everyone around him and he could instruct his men to drag me to him anytime.I hurriedly opened my bedroom door and headed for Diego's study. As I went through the passageway leading to his study, both of his men looked at me with their faces smoldering like a brick and I was filled with trepidation of what would happen.Diego's study room's door was slightly opened and I peeled inside to see him sitting on a chair and going through a document which was labelled as “confidential.”It was as if he
