Sitting in front of the doctor, Adele couldn’t forget the last word said by Decker. The doctor blotched the light on her cornea. Check left and right. Her pupils soaked the rays, but her breath didn’t hitch. “Breath in.”

“Breathe out.”

The doctor tried to wipe the blood drops from her face to check if it hurt anywhere around her. “No, don’t wipe the blood,” she reacted insanely.

“Is she fine?” Elijah walked with a limping leg,

“She is… she is in shock....,” the doctor replied, checking Adele’s blood pressure.

“Adele,” Elijah called her name. Her subconscious mind reacted to her name as she shot her peer towards Elijah.

“Are you ok?”

He hugged her numb body immediately. “Are you hurt?”

“I... I want to go home...” she whispered.

Elijah read her urgency, “Ok, I will drive you,”

He settled in front of the wheels and informed his senior about Adele’s condition. After some time, as the glimpses of Decker’s soul leaving his body crossed Adele’s mind, a lone tear fell from her pale f

    “Is she at home?” Sam questioned the assigned officers at Adele’s house.“Yes, sir. After she left the hospital, we followed her here. We can see her apartment lights went off and on sometimes,” one of them answered.“Monitor her. She is smart, and I am sure she will do something.” Sam instructed.“Yes, sir.”“What else did you find from the hospital?”“Nothing special. The doctor said she had some hormonal problems; she was hallucinating.”“Fine, dig deep. I have a doubt she is up to something.”Sam hung up the phone. Sighed, fidgeting with his fingers, he was thinking about something.“Dad, how can you... what makes you think she would help Decker?”“Just shut your fucking mouth, Elijah.”“I felt Decker is alive, and your fiance was trying to protect him.” Sam snarled.Elijah jerked his body away from the chair, rested his elbows on the charcoal-colored table, and furrowed his brows.“She shot him in front of me.”“Now that’s where you are wrong, boy. Your bitch is smarter than you.

Sam shattered the glass on the wall,“But why are we not able to catch her? Is she too smart? No, I am sure every illegal used to leave something.”Sam, rubbing his beard with his index and thumb. He furrowed his brows.“If she saved him, then she must have planned it earlier. Her location.. resources...”“And now she is in front of our eyes trying to make it look normal, but she is still in touch with him.”Sam, talking to himself, sprinted here and there.“She shot him; it was real. But she needs to save him...”“What would you do.... how she was getting updates?,”“Fuck,”He slammed the table a

    Driving on the dark road, we were together; The silence was there when I first felt him on our wedding night, and silence was there when he was driving quietly down an unknown path. A five’0 clock shadow came over my frame, making me itch inside. I still remember the night I first felt that shadow over me. Scared as hell, I want to crawl into that shadow today. I wanted to say thousands of words, but they didn’t dare to come to my mouth; All the words and emotions stuck in my Adam’s apple. I didn’t dare to look towards his eyes, not now. How could I? Neither he spilled a word. I tried to look through the corner of my eyes, but his knuckles were white; a hardened grip was enough to tell me he was also battling inside. He turned the car into the woods, which gave a jerk in my back. I hissed in pain, but he caught my frame before I landed my hand for a grip. He twisted the keys, turned down the vibrating engine, walked out, covered the back of the car with a dirty sheet, and sprinkl

    Margarita looked out at the moon, standing next to the fountain. The breeze played with her long curls, emphasizing the coldness. She was not expecting her dad to reveal the situation like this. She heard the footsteps approaching in her direction, and she was not willing to talk to anyone right now. She rushed towards the garden, thinking she could hide. “Margarita,” a voice brushed in her ears, and the goosebumps started to crawl out from her skin. She didn’t turn because she knew she would look weak and vulnerable in front of Samson. Margarita’s fingers tightened around the edge of her dress, her knuckles turning white. She could sense Samson’s presence behind her, the weight of his gaze, the unspoken words that hung in the air between them. But she remained committed, determined to protect herself from the pain that had once shattered her world. “I know... I have never missed an opportunity to hurt you, but we both know how much...” Samson whispered close to her ear; she turned

    Three of them went inside. Samson could feel the resilience aura coming his way from Mateo. His presence might have been accepted by the Italian don but by the brother of Margarita Costello.The room was filled with a tense silence as Decker’s sharp gaze fell on Samson, his expression unreadable. Mateo stood by, observing the interaction between the two men.“Samson,” Decker’s voice was steady, his tone devoid of any warmth.“How are you now?”“I am... better,” Decker gestured toward a chair, indicating for Samson to sit. As they settled around a table, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation.“Mateo, could you please call everyone? Our friend here came to have dinner with us,” Decker instructed, his eyes never leaving Samson.Mateo nodded and left the room, leaving Samson and Decker alone for a moment. The silence was tangible, and Samson could feel the weight of Decker’s scrutiny on him.The silence filled with the click of glass when Decker poured whiskey into two glasses and dr

    Master’s cold eyes flickered with intense emotion.

He was left paralyzed, and I couldn’t bear to see my son suffer like that.”“The pain of watching our son consumed my wife, and she chose to die by taking her life.

    In a quiet corner of the room, Adele and Elijah sat closely together. Both of them were old, and time had carved its marks on their faces, but their eyes held the same warmth and love that had bound them together for decades. Adele looked at Elijah with concern, her heart aching for the man she once loved deeply.“You look beautiful,” Elijah stammered.Adele smiled thinly and shook her head, withering away the worries about what was happening outside.“Is this because of the bullet in your spine?” Adele asked gently, her voice barely above a whisper.Elijah nodded slowly, his lips twisted in pain as he struggled to speak. “Yes,” he uttered. “I got punished for what I did.”Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes as she reached out and cupped Elijah’s hand in her own. “No, Elijah,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “You didn’t deserve this. You were caught in the crossfire, and it was never your fault.”Elijah drooled, and Adele picked to wipe his face.“Is he handsome enough?” He chuck

    The thick scarlet liquid dripped from the on the wooden floor, slithering down at the Master’s shoe. He finished, placed his cigar back on the ashtray, and looked sideways to see the lifeless body of Capo on his patio. His face twisted in disgust and anger. He looked at the man who had once been his friend, his ally, but was now nothing more than a hindrance to his plans. “Your blood stains my patio, making it dirty,” he muttered, his voice cold and devoid of any remorse.“I thought your son was better than you, but these Costello bitches always win the men with their charm,” he greeted, his teeth watching over Elijah as he made his way to the patio.“Don’t look at me like this,” Master rolled his eyes, watching Elijah’s judgemental eyes.Capo’s phone started to buzz on the coffee table, displaying the name “Samson” on the screen, but Master didn’t bother to pick up. He threw the phone aside, frustrated by the turn of events. His plan to defeat Decker and take control of the underworl

    The room was shrouded in darkness, the heavy curtains drawn tightly shut, blocking any sliver of light from the outside world. The only source of illumination was a single dim lamp perched on the edge of the heavy wooden desk. Its soft glow created dancing shadows on the walls, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the room.Capo sat there, a solitary figure amidst the darkness, his face partially concealed by the shadows. The lamp cast a faint light on his troubled expression, revealing the lines of sorrow etched on his face. His eyes, filled with a mixture of grief and determination, remained fixed on a picture of his beloved son, Aslan, which lay on the desk before him, his handsome face smiling back at him, and tears welled up in his eyes.“I’m so sorry, my boy,” Capo whispered, his voice choked with emotion. “I never got the chance to tell you the truth. I wanted to explain why I punished your mother. Why I had to make the choices I did.”His mind drifted back to the painful memories

    The morning sun gently streamed through the curtains, waking Sarah from her restless slumber. As she opened her eyes, she saw Margi sitting beside her, her face filled with concern.“Hey,” Margi said softly, “How are you feeling?”Sarah mustered a weak smile. “Better, I guess. Thanks for taking care of me.”Margi nodded, her heart heavy with the weight of everything that had transpired. “Of course, Sarah. I’ll always be here for you.”Tears welled up in Sarah’s eyes as she looked at Margi. “I’m so sorry, Margi. I never meant for any of this to happen.”Margi reached out and gently squeezed Sarah’s hand. “It’s not your fault, Sarah. None of us could have foreseen any of this.”Sarah’s voice quivered as she spoke, “Will you ever be able to forgive Dominic?”Margi looked at her friend, unsure if she could ever find it in her heart to forgive the man who had caused her so much pain. “I... I don’t know if I can forgive him,” she admitted, her voice filled with uncertainty and vulnerability

    Margi looked down at her trembling hands, her dress stained with blood and dirt. One part of her heart was relieved. Sarah is safe and under the doctor’s observation. Her mind drifted back to that horrifying day when she witnessed her brother Ethan’s tragic end. The image of him being engulfed by bullets haunted her, and her own screams echoed in her ears. She felt the guilt creeping in, wondering why it was always her loved ones who suffered while she managed to survive.Aslan’s face flashed before her eyes, his hazel eyes filled with love and happiness just hours before his life was taken from him. The memory of his gentle smile and the promise of a new life together crushed her heart. She couldn’t bear the thought that she was with him in his last moments, and yet she couldn’t save him.“Why does it always have to be them?

The dry tears and blank eyes were a reflection of the shattered trust that mirrored her own feelings.
