Semua Bab Love In The Shadows : Bab 1 - Bab 10

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 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 “Well, have you figured out how that fool knew I was at that venue?“Not yet Diego,” Luis responded guiltily. “I will find that out before tomorrow morning,I promise.”“That's better,” I said. I needed to find out who I was dealing with and nothing was more important than that at the moment.Luis stood there, contemplating whether to tell me something or not. “Speak up quickly; I've got other business to handle,” I urged.“Adriana has woken up,” Luis blurted out. That wasn't my concern; I had more urgent matters to attend to.“That's not my business,”I said plainly. Suddenly, I recalled what Adriana had murmured before passing out. “Which medicine was she asking about in the room yesterday?”From Luis' expression, I could tell he had no idea what I was talking about.“I don't know anything about that,”he replied, confused. “But I will find out.“Don't bother with that,”I told him, dismissing the idea. “Just find out how that guy knew where I was,” I concluded.Luis nodded

Mr Antonio's POV“I don't think I can do it sir,” Luis said to me. This kid wasn't giving in so, I had to figure out another way to make him accept my offer.I sat upright on my chair and looked at him seriously. “Luis, I practically raised you like my own son and I'm telling you to do this because I am looking out for both my son and you,” I said to him calmly. At some point,I needed to convince him.“I know that sir but I still can't do it because the Cruz family is not planning anything against us at least for now and besides,we are family,” Luis replied with disagreement . This kid was beginning to annoy me.“Alright,I didn't want to say this but I guess I have to,” told Luis, having figured out a way to accept it. “Who do you think is the mastermind behind the attack in Diego yesterday?” The moment I said that, Luis' eyes widened and I couldn't help but smirk secretly.“How did you find out sir?” Luis questioned shockingly. “I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect Diego from getting

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
