The sweet aroma invaded nostrils of Eva disturbing her sleep, she groggily opened her eyes and her brows twitched when she realized that it was coming from her kitchen. She made her way to the kitchen leaving the sleeping Thomas behind. Her socked feet padded softly on the wooden floor. Her eyes widened when she took in the scene in front of her. There she was making pancakes and stirring the eggs simultaneously with utter concentration. Her Edna looked so adorable with her rich brown hair in a messy bun and her cheeks and nose was being honored with the batter of pancakes. A genuine breathless laugh escaped past Eva's lips making Edna's head snapped at her.
"Mom!! when did you woke up?" she questioned flipping over the pancakes and turning off the flame of eggs.
"I wasn't planning to wake up this early." she answered gesturing the still pale blue sky where the sun was struggling to break through the barrier of clouds. "But then
“Please it’s urgent! just once tell him that Edna called.” Edna cried out desperately not wanting to be deprived of her last tiny hope.“ I’m sorry miss, but sir strictly ordered not to disturb him.” Lady on the phone tried to reason with her, but when Edna insisted again she felt pity on her.With tiny steps lady dragged her feet to the mahogany door of Lucien’s office. She heaved a sigh before timidly knocking on the door. She heard a gruff ‘come in’ and she poked her head through the door only to be met with Lucien’s unnerving glare.“Weren’t you told that I was not supposed to be disturbed?” He muttered in a cold voice his eyes now resting on the paper work in front of him.“Sir! I apologies but this girl was persistent, she asked me to tell you that Edna called it--“ her rambling was cut off as soon as the word Edna escaped her lips, Lucien head snapped up and he was quick to his feet. He all but snatched the p
It took some convincing but after good ten minutes Edna finally got Daniel’s number from Lucien. Though he was reluctant but Edna was stubborn. After she dropped the call, she made her way to the subway taking all the precaution she could to be far away from her current living place. After she reached another town then only she took a breath. She licked up her dry lips, her brown almost honey coloured orbs searching for the telephone in the crowd area of subway path. Her rapid breathing mingling with the harsh footsteps of people surrounding her who were in hurry to reach their destination.Her footsteps stopped in front of small telephone booth. Getting inside the glass door , her hands shook as she picked up the recover to dial the number that was in her clammy hands the corner of the small ripped page wet a little bit because of it. She was nervous as though she did not wanted to do this but that was her last stroke, her last hope because somewhere in the back of
“I had told our men the location you sent me of Edna.” Daniel informed Adriano who nodded in response.“You think, she would be there?” Daniel asked a little bit unsure and Adriano straightened up his head which he was leaning on his elbow.“As I know her, she is not stupid to reveal herself that easily. Although the probability of finding her around the neighbouring town is more. You send men there too.” Adriano replied with furrowed brows, narrowing his blue orbs at the green eyed man in front of him.“I did.” the man in question replied and received a small nod from him as he get up from his chair he was previously sitting on.“What is going on in your mind?” Daniel asked genuinely confused as he saw Adriano standing with his hands stuffed in his pocket looking outside the window.Daniel thought that he would be
The light footsteps filled the dim and empty hallway of the basement of mansion. Everything was eerily silent, but suddenly a scream echoed through the air cutting off the silence. The footsteps stopped for a second but then again they resumed on their way.Daniel opened the metal door of the basement and saw in front of him was dead body of Lucas, the man who had stolen from Adriano almost one month before. Adriano, true to his words didn’t killed him until he paid him back every penny he stole from him, and when he was done Adriano finally took mercy on him and freed his soul from his torture. Ignoring the dead body which was stabbed right in his neck Daniel proceeded to stand next to Adriano who was cleaning his knife with his handkerchief.“Adriano, we need to talk.” Daniel told him clearing his throat. Adriano stopped his work and give him a side glance in the past month he had become more deadly than,before he had sto
“Finally! You are back where you belong.” The cold voice whispered darkly in the dim lighted room. Oceanic blue orbs clashed with the hypnotic brown ones, one pair of eye filled with relief while other were other was almost void of any emotion, only some anger flickering in them.For a moment they both stood still, and finally Edna step away when his fingers were inches away from her face. Adriano reluctantly lowered his hand as she ran a hand through her face, not sparing him another glance she walked past him. Adriano was about to say something when she shut the door of the closet. Adriano was confused of her behavior, he was ready for her ranting, for her anger but this was something else.A shaky breath escaped passed her lips as she controlled her overwhelming anger that was flowing through her veins. Back pressed to the wooden door, her form slide to the tiled floor as her hands clutched her head fiercely. How hard was for her to n
It has been three days, three days of same routine Edna has adopted. She was trying her best to known what was the password of Adriano’s laptop but not had succeeded yet. She follows him whenever he was at home, she was getting tired of that. But she had to try, but if showed more interest than she was already showing there would be chance of Adriano doubting the situation as if he was not already disturbed by her behavior.“Damn!” she muttered under her breath, closing the book she was reading. Tugging her cardigan to herself as she folded her legs beneath her proving them her warmth. The weather today was quite stormy and the black clouds that was shadowing the sunlight thundered from time to time. She sipped the coffee feeling the bitter taste of it fill her parched throat.She was startled from her thoughts by the sudden movement of opening of doors, the doors of Adriano’s library was huge. Edna briefly looked towards the entrance wondering who had come si
“It’s fine let her out.” Daniel ordered them and Edna briefly looked at him with a small tilt of her head.“But Sir!” The guard protest was stopped when Daniel help up his palm stopping him.“I will handle him.” Daniel replied curtly making them give a small nod of understanding in return.“Argh!” Edna sighed to herself, Daniel again wanted to do her a favour when he was the one who brought her here. What makes him think that he could do these little things, and she will take his favour. If he thought that how wrong he was.“Edna you can go outside.” Daniel said quickly when he saw her coming back in the mansion. Edna ignored him , his words fall on deaf ears.“Edna please lets talk.” He whispered jogging up to her, matching her quick pace as she made her way towards the stairs.“Edna
Adriano narrowed gaze was stuck on the screen of his laptop as he worked on his new assignment. He was busy making the presentation for the next Hotel he was planning to open in California. It was an important deal for him as it will decide the partnership between his and German company who had a name for being in top. Rolling his shoulders back, his fingers went up behind his neck soothing the stiffness of it by massaging it gently. He was tried and on top of that still angry because he hasn’t caught the culprit who had invaded his warehouse. He lost a good fortune but anyway succeeded in fulfilling the shipment which was stolen from him. But the thought that someone was able to steal from Adriano Pietro didn’t let him sleep. Getting up from his chair before he saved the file and turned off the laptop his heavy boot clicked on the tiled floor.He sighed running a hand through his raven hair; he was need in the need of strong coffee. It was almost the time of dinn
