Adriano was barely containing the fury ruining in his veins like a molten lava. His mind was unable wrap around the fact that someone so easily took away his precious when he was at just freaking few feets distance. How could nobody heard any scream because there was a small trail of blood just small but it was there.
Was she hurt?
He shook his head immediately as that forsaken thought crossed his mind. She couldn't be hurt. He tried to comfort his own self , running a hand through his hair which was all over the place. She had that knife, she wasn't defenseless.
His horrid , anxious thoughts were cut off by the ringing of his phone.
" Cody" Adriano whispered his voice strained of any emotion.
" Boss, I found who was that partner. It's inbox was blowing up with text from a guy name Vincent and from the content it is clear that they were planning against you together. " Cody informed quickly.
" Of fu*
" Hello there my lovely friend." Vincent taunting voice echoed softy in Adriano's office.Adriano, Daniel and Alberto all were huddled together looking at the face of smirking Vincent at Adriano's laptop." You didn't see that coming did you? It's not like I expected such high intelligence from you, Adriano but since you don't have enemies ….. " he trailed off grinning evily, his stormy eyes that weird sparkle in them." I have you lovely lady here with me, wanna see her?" Vincent asked arching a brow and Adriano was tempted just to hurl the laptop at the screen or somehow teleport there and wipe out that disgusting smirk out of his face by punching him but all he did was took a deep breath." Tada !!!" Vincent exclaimed as if presenting a piece of unique art prepared by him.Daniel cursed loudly standing up running a hand through his dark hair and Alberto despite being hating Edna's
Let's play Vincent." He mumbled switching off the safety of the gun.It didn't take him long to enter the warehouse , the first person who was eating pizza only got the time to widen his eyes before Adriano in two long stride was in front of him snapping him neck he laid his lifeless body on the ground and hide behind one of the pillars when heard footsteps approaching and the other one who was carrying two can of drinks in his hand met with the same fate but he did alerted before dying.Rolling his eyes Adriano shot the man who barged from the one locked door right in the head. Holding the body of the guy as his shield he shot whoever comes in his way right in the head not giving any one second chance.Vincent who eyes widened as he saw Adriano behind the wall of his man and started running. Adriano growled before when his clip went empty. Taking a hide behind the pillar he quickly changed the clip ignoring the bullet that were wheezing past his sho
" Regret?" Edna took in a sharp breath looking in the deep abyss of blue eyes which were flickering from her face to the metal pressed on her temple." Only thing I regret, is he being here. He wasn't supposed to be here." Edna gritted out angrily, it wasn't that furious anger but more like worried one.Just as she finished a bullet went right through the head of one of the men who was holding Adriano." He wasn't supposed to be risking his life for me." Edna's voice raised an octave.Vincent eyes widened and Adriano smirked quickly taking the advantage of the situation, knocking his head right on the other men as more gunshot resonated from downstairs." Why would I regret when I planned all this." Edna laughed out humorlessly as a bullet went right through Vincent's shoulder making him stagger backward. A small scream of pain erupted from his throat, a fire like pain filled up in his vein making him drop the gun."
“ Ah! Once a traitor always a traitor..” Vincent voice taunted behind Adriano, his sharp grey eyes locked on Nathan’s pitiful form.“ Edna, get out of the way.” Adriano ordered through gritted teeth, removing her hand away from the gun.“You promised! You promised back in Sicily!” Edna all but screamed lowly in a hurry as he walked past her, halting him.“You gave me your words that you would give me anything. I want you to spare his life.” Edna reminded him, the promise he gave her when she had saved his grandfather life.Edna breath caught in her throat as he looked at her with his blue eyes which hold the intensity to burn the world down.“ What if I break my promise?” He asked in a cruel, cold voice and Edna flinched back at his words, closing her eyes she hold back a sob.Damon waited calm
Adriano understood why Knights always treated her with familiarity. Why Damon was listening her every word. She was the daughter of Egon Knight that explains her temper. Her childhood nightmares, her fear of violence. But if she had Knights, why she never asked for their help.Despite a Storm of thoughts brewing inside him, he kept a blank face outside. Daniel, however couldn't help the surprise that plastered on his face , running a hand through his brown hair, he let out a series of curse under his breath." It never seize to amaze me, how people still pale at mention of him. Dad always preferred knife over guns, kinda passed it to me." Edna mused with mirth dancing in her eyes as she scouted down to Vincent level again." You messed with a wrong person Vincent." Edna hissed out all the colour from Vincent face droped as his heart thudded like an angry fist inside his chest." Don't worry, da
Edna grunted softly trying to prey her eyes open, but she felt as if tons of weight was over her eyelids. Her fingers twitched, as she again tried and succeeded only to flinch and close them again. Someone was saying something , her disoriented mind tried to grasp whatever was happening around her.Finally after so much effort, her brown eyes adjusted to the light, fixing themselves on the ceiling of unfamiliar room. She looked around, pressing her palms flat against the fluffy mattress, trying to sit up. That’s when she noticed an IV attached to her left hand, frowning she sat up. Resting her upper body on the cushioned headboard of the king sized bed her brown eyes scanned her surroundings.You are free.Panic settled deep inside her chest, when her hazy brain got cleared. Adriano got shot. With her trembling hands she tried to remove the IV attached to her hands, ignoring the palpitation of her heart. 
A week beforeDamon was quietly looking at his sister who was lying there almost lifeless, the only thing that indicated that she was alive was occasional rise and fall of her chest.Damon shifted her to his mansion rather than staying in hospital because that way he felt more secure. It was Adriano's town, though, he didn't knew their enemies were everywhere. So, he decided that it was the best option available to him in terms of protection." Come in." a soft knock disturbed him as he yelled back a reply." What happened Troy?" Damon question with a furrowed brow when he saw the urgent look on the face of his best man who finally looked up at him and trouble was written all over his face.The guards that were stationed outside the main gates of Knights mansion got startled when they heard the continuous honking outside.One
"Damon?" Damon jerked back in present on her voice." Um.." clearing his throat, he sit up straight. " He didn't not heard anything from him." a slow blink was returned on his answer." He didn't." Edna murmured lowly, closing her eyes, sprawling her fingers over the back of her neck she tried to soften the impact of the words her mind had registered just now." Can you call him?" a request was made by her with closed eyes making Damon frown a little." I need to talk to him." Damon couldn't help but to give in her request because her eyes were a swirling mess of emotions." Fine. But I will talk to him first then-"" Put it on speaker." Edna cut him off shaking her head gingerly when Damon pressed the phone on his ears.Her words received an arched brow but nonetheless, it was carried out. Edna softly
