I dragged my tired and lazy self to see who was at the door.I opened the door, surprised to see Arabella, Gianni's younger sister, looking worried and scared for some reason.

Gianni's POVAs I walked into the bustling restaurant, the familiar sounds and aromas greeted me.

Gianni's POVPsstt," I heard Louis calling from his seat.I turned to face him, a sense of weariness evident in my eyes. "What?" I whispered back, my voice barely audible in the hushed classroom."Let's grab lunch after Mrs. Scarlett's class," Louis suggested, his voice filled with a tinge of excitement.I paused for a moment, contemplating his offer. The thought of food seemed foreign to me, considering the grisly task we had just undertaken.

Adrian's POVAs I watched my men restrain the captive, I felt a surge of frustration. The man before me is a potential threat to my operations, and I needed information. The refusal to cooperate only fueled my determination to get what I needed."Is he still refusing to talk?" I asked, my voice tight with tension."Yes, Don," Landon replied, his eyes avoiding direct contact with mine. "He keeps insisting he doesn't know anything." My mind raced with possibilities.
