" Donatello?" Adriano asked confused as Donatello entered his office around mid night. When he was just wrapping all the things and was going to retire for the night.  " Can I take your few minutes, Maestro?" The utmost respect was ozing in his tone. Adriano nodded his head giving his permission.  " What is it?" Adriano quiered stuffing the files inside the drawers. He had read throughly all the files, all the stuff he needed.  " Valerio and Signora had a little dispute." Donatello murmured lowly and Adriano hand stopped whatever he was doing and cut his gaze to the old man.  " Over?" He asked curtly, leaning in the table with both his hands. " That I am not aware of. But she slapped him." Donatello informed and Adriano winched then arched his brow in amusement.  This girl. " It was a good thing Daniel was there b

Adriano fixed his cuffs, eyes lingering on the stubborn beauty which was sleeping soundly with parted lips. " Stubborn." Adriano commented as he remembered the way she pursued him into not sending her back to New York.  " You are going to be death of me, sweetheart." He whispered softly against her hair as he pressed his lips there.  Blue eyes closed in their own as he inhaled her smell. He sometimes just wanted to bottle that up and took it everywhere he went so that his mind and heart will be at peace.  " Yes." He answered starightening his form, hearing a soft knock on the door.  " Adriano, please let me come with you." Daniel almost pleaded while Adriano raised his brow strapping his black watch over his wrist.  " Daniel, you are to stay here. I don't trust anyone when it's about her." Adriano replied firmly blue eyes involuntary flickere

" Doll?!" Adriano whispered , his brows furrowing together in worry.  " You are in deep trouble when you get back home!" furious voice of his wife eased the worry in his heart as it started beating with its normal pace again.  " Am I ?" He questioned, amusement lacing his voice as he walked away from the possible evasdropper around him.  He stepped over the dead body, and make sure to not get any blood on his shoes. Those were new.  He gave a nod to Donatello in that direction commanding him to get rid of them as he walked further away from three of them. " Oh! You just doubled your trouble by asking that." She chewed out the words and Adriano couldn't help but chuckle at the threat given to him.  Carlo and Valentine exchanged surprised look with each. This man just killed two people a few minutes before. Shook most dangerous people of the city with his a

Sienna's silver eyes observed the hot bowl of  risotto in front of her. She graceful took a spoonful of it, blowing softly over it before she eat it.  All cooks eyes were stuck on her as she chewed it slowly as they wait for her apporval.  That was the rule of Pietro's house that no food will be served unless Sienna had apporved it. Although, for few days she wasn't able to carry on this rule because of the vulnerable position she was in.  " Ha bisogno di poco più sale.(It needs a little more salt.)" She adviced , placing the spoon back on the counter wiping her lips with napkin.  " Si, Signora. (Yes, madam.)" Head of the cooks nodded her head before taking away the bowl.  " What are you doing here nonna?" Complaining voice of her nipote( grandson) brought a smile on her lips, the corner of her eyes crinkled as she did so.  " It's too hot

Daniel leaned against the car waiting for Adriano, eyes closed behind the black shades. Unaware of the several gazes locked on his form draped in a green t-shirt and white pants. The girls which were hunched on the kitchen's window sill held up their breath as his dark brown strand fall over his creased forehead. Edna was strolling outside in her blue pj 's, a loose long black silk cardigan over it. She put a hand over her mouth as she yawned, eyes barely opening this early in the morning. But then she heard, voices making her frown, she walked outside and the voices turned into whispers then into giggle.  Her brown sleepy eyes looked at the group of kitchen helpers gathered around the window, whispering in each other's ears pointing towards the parking area. She followed their gaze and found Daniel leaning against the car in all his handsome glory.  " You have earned number of fans." She whispered standing nex
