“Of course, that's me.” Marco said, smiling as he stood up from his seat.Don tightened his fist and gave him a deadly stare. He was about to stand up to attack when a guard struck him hard on the same arm where he had been shot.Donatello exclaimed in pain as he clutched his hand.“Where is she?” he asked, despite the pain.Marco turned to face him and smirked.“You are not the Donatello I am familiar with. The Donatello I know would never come looking for a lady, let alone a lowly servant.”“Where the hell is she?” Don demanded with a stern tone.Marco unexpectedly rose from his seat at the table and approached him. Then he lifted his jaw and delivered a blow to his cheek.Donatello fell backwards, but the man grabbed his shirt and pulled him up, only to land another one.“You are no longer in charge, understand? So add a little respect.” Marco told him.“As for your girl, I never knew she was so sweet,” he said, licking his lips. “I had to drill her hole to find out why you could n

“Do you think Don would make it here?” Marco inquired as he smoked his cigarette and sat on the chair, his legs raised above the table.He offered one to Martin, who was sitting in another chair opposite him, and he accepted.“Let us wait and see; I know when someone is in love, and Donatello's is no exception. He is madly in love with that lady, but little does he know where this will lead him.” Martin responded with a light chuckle.Suddenly, he began to cough and threw the cigar into the ashtray. He then looked up at Marco, clutching his chest tightly.“You still have those coughs?” Marco inquired nonchalantly.Martin gave a nod while coughing. He took out his handkerchief and placed it over his mouth while coughing.When he finished, he looked at it with a neutral expression. It was stained with blood.“Did you take the pills the doctor prescribed to you?” Marco asked again.“Yeah but I have used them all.”“I’ll get you a new batch.” Marco assured him.Martin smiled and nodded hi

“Boss,” Marcello called out as he entered. He dashed over to Donatello's side, holding a dagger, and assisted him in removing the ropes.“Where’s Sabrina?” the boss asked him.“I have locked her up in her room; she will not be able to escape on time.” Marcello answered, “I found out she was the one behind Julia's escape.”Donatello nodded, “I am fully aware of that.”“I heard that Marco is back and Julia is being used as bait to get you.” Marcello added.“I am also aware of this, which is why I need to save her right away.”“But boss, you are still weak and we don't have any backup plan yet.” Marcello told him.“I don't care, I need to save Julia. You can take care of the rest.” “But boss–”“–get me out of these immediately!” Donatello ordered.“Yes, boss.”After freeing his boss, Marcello gently helped him up. His mind was racing as he contemplated what to do. He couldn't leave his boss to go in this situation, that would mean defeat, not unless– suddenly he had a plan.“Here's you

Donatello opened his eyes to see the entire room spinning. He immediately closed it and attempted to touch them, only to discover that he could move his hands. They had been tied to the bedpost.“Marcello?” he called out in a low tone as he gently reopened his eyes.“He has gone to search for Julia, I told him you were in good hands.” Sabrina spoke from the edge of the bed where she was sitting.Don attempted to sit up, but his hands made it difficult. When Sabrina saw him struggling, she stood up and walked to him.“You’re still weak. I nabbed you with painkillers and sleeping medicine, that was why you slept off so that I could clean and dress your wound.” she told him.“Untie these things and let me out right now. I don't think I need your help.” he said in an icy tone.“There you go again. Always wanting to do things on your own without needing help. I just want to help you, that's all.” she said.Donatello rolled his eyes; this was the first time he had ever done this. “Even if I

“What do you mean she escaped?” Don asked Sabrina who was standing in front of him.“I meant what I said. She actually escaped.” she said then added, “but isn't that better?”When he did not respond, she moved closer to him, placing one hand on his chest and the other caressing his cheek, “You should be relieved she is gone. You would not have to think about her anymore.”Don quickly slammed her hand away, “You are part of this, right?” Sabrina laughed, “Why do you think so?”“You know what, I'll go look for her and after that I'll sort out things between us.” Don concluded and took a step forward, only to stop abruptly as he spat out more blood.“You see honey, you can't go on searching for that dumb lady in this situation. Do you think you will make it out?” she asked with a smirk.Before he could move any further, Sabrina approached him swiftly and pierced his shoulder with a syringe.“What are you trying to do?!” The boss inquired as the liquid content entered his veins; he was t

Just as Sabrina had said, she came to get Julia when she was done. The latter had changed out of her gown and into jeans and a thick sweater. As they stepped out into the cold night, a wave of breeze passed over her body, but she felt nothing because her sweater kept her warm. “This is the opportunity you have been waiting for, a chance at freedom.” Sabrina declared. Julia let out a weak smile as she spotted a vehicle parked in the garage. Outside stood a man, whom she could not see clearly due to the darkness of the night. “That’s the driver, he would be in charge of your safety and travel” Sabrina told her. Julia nodded then turned to face her with a worried look, “What about the boss? What if he finds out that I have escaped?” “Don’t worry, I'll take care of it.” Sabrina assured her. Julia nodded again and went to the car. She was escaping without her boss's knowledge, this could put her in a more dangerous situation. After a minute of contemplation, she waved them o

Aria sat by her dressing table, applying her makeup when she heard a knock on the door.“Good morning ma'am,” Mr. Adrian said when she opened the door.“Good morning, Mr. Adrian,” Aria said back, then asked, “what brings you here this morning?”“Mr Blackwood would like to have breakfast with you,” he said.Damien? Breakfast?? Aria thought. It felt strange.What was he up to?“I will be down in a few minutes.” she said to him.“Alright ma'am,” Mr. Adrian said and bowed before leaving.A few minutes later, Aria descended down the stairs and into the dining hall. It is a dining room, but it is large enough to accommodate up to fifty people. In other words, it could be regarded as a banquet hall.When Aria entered the dining room, she noticed Damien seated at the head of the table. His back was straight and he was staring straight ahead, at nothing. Aria took a moment to marvel at his perfect side profile. She could not help but notice his nicely bridged nose and perfectly shaped lips.“

“Yes?” Aria stopped and turned.“I actually got–” then he paused and said, “nevermind. You can leave.”After she left, Mr. Adrian entered the office. When he noticed the flowers still sitting on the table, he knew what had happened.“Why didn't you tell me she had a bouquet in hand?” Damien asked with a cold tone.“I actually wanted to tell you, but you dismissed me quickly.” the aide answered.Damien slammed his palm against the table.“Fuck!” he exclaimed, “that Nicholas of a guy is gradually making me lose my patience!”“Do you want to do anything to him?” Mr. Adrian asked.Damien quickly raised his hand, “Let him be. I haven't gotten enough reason to clear him out.”“Yes sir,” he said, then pointing to the flower, he quickly added, “what do you suggest I do to the flower?”Damien looked at it and said, “Take it away, give it to your wife or whoever you deem fit. I don't want to see it here.”“Yes, sir!” his aide replied as he exited with the bouquet and a smile.

“Well, it appears that someone was not pleased to see you today.” Nicholas said as they strolled outside the building. Aria narrowed her brows, “Who?” “Mr. Lucas,” he answered, “Now seize being lovey-dovey and get back to work!” he mimicked. Aria laughed, “He sounded exactly like that.” Nicholas laughed as well. “So you are trying to tell me you guys don't know each other? I mean, I have a feeling something is going on between you two.” he said. “You don't believe me?” Aria asked. “I do, I really do, Aria.” “Thanks for the flowers anyways. I couldn't thank you earlier due to–” she paused, “–you know, that man.” she added, holding the flowers with her hands. “Yeah, right. I heard about your leg and I couldn't get through to you, so I had to at least show that I care by getting you this.” “That is so nice of you.” Aria replied with a smile. When she was about to go, he stood in front of her. “Would you mind accompanying me to the park this weekend? It would be a great time

Aria returned to work after several days of recuperation at home. She strode to her desk in her stilettos after greeting some coworkers who were concerned enough to inquire about her health.As she sat down, she realized she had not seen Nicholas. Unlike before, he would be one of the first to greet her.She looked around and even stood to check his desk, but he was not present. Where could he possibly be? She asked herself as she turned on her computer to start working.Suddenly, she felt someone tap her from behind. She abruptly turned to see Nicholas with his usual smiley face.“What are you hiding there?” she asked when she caught him concealing something behind his back.“Ta-da!” he exclaimed, presenting her with the bouquet of pink peonies he had gotten for her.Aria stared in amazement as she accepted the gift.“You got this for me?” she asked, despite knowing it was for her.Nicholas responded with a nod.“I hear you twisted your ankle; are you better now?” He inquired.“Of c

Aria's gaze was glued to her phone screen. Why was Nicholas calling? She wanted to pick it but couldn't.What if Damien finds out? So she ignored the call and placed her phone on her bedside table.Nicholas, in contrast to Damien, was completely different. She had come to adore his admirable personalities, but one thing she could not do was go against Damien or their signed agreement.Damien, on the other hand, is an arrogant and cold man, but somehow she finds herself quickly drawn to him. Was it the way he made her feel, or his physical attractiveness? Aria could not say; all she knew was that something about him drew her in, as if they were somehow connected.After hours of thinking, Aria decided that she needed to clear her thoughts. She walked out of her room and headed towards the rooftop where she believed she would be able to clear her mind.The late-night breeze brushed past her skin, sending shivers down her spine as she made her way to one corner of the place.But before

Aria walked carefully down the stairs into the living room after Damien had gone to his room.She was almost halfway through when Mr. Adrian noticed her and rushed to help her down.“Thank you,” she said when she finally got down.“May I ask when you need ma'am, you don't have to go through all this to get what you want.” he said to her.“I heard a shout from my room, so I came out to check,” she said, then looked towards her husband's room and asked, “Is he all right?”“Yes, ma'am,” the aide replied, glancing in the direction she was pointing.Aria said nothing but stared at him with a 'spill-it-all' expression.“Okay, he actually had a serious talk with his father over an important meeting he declined. My Blackwood was really angry.” he explained to her.“Mr. Damien would never decline business meetings; did something go wrong?” she inquired.“He had to cancel our planned trip for the aforementioned meeting in order to ensure your well-being.” Mr. Adrian elucidated.“What?!” she exc
