LOGINBruno’s POVThe silence in the room pressed heavy against my skull, the only sound was the beeping of the monitor. Diego looked pale, way too pale for my liking. He looked like someone fading away, tubes ran from his chest to some machines. I sat beside him, placing my elbows on my knees, looking at him felt so wrong so I stared at the floor instead. It was strange to see my brother reduced to this fragile thing.He shifted weakly, a cough ripping through his chest. I sprang on my feet. “Stay down,” I commanded, laying a hand on his shoulder.“If you move again, I will break your arm.” I threatened, his lips curved into that damn familiar tired smile.“Still the same brute,” he whispered“Shut up!” I said glaring at him.He coughed again, making it evident that he was in so much pain.“I don’t…. think I’ll make it Bruno,” he rasped.The words hit me like a punch to the ribs.“Don’t start with that shit,” I snapped. “You’ve survived worse.” I added.His eyes softened, the kind of softn
The drive back was a blur, all I could hear was the sound of Diego’s ragged breathing and Bruno’s low curses. I kept whispering his name over and over again like I was in trance.“Stay with me,” I begged. “Please, stay Diego.”Bruno’s eyes were fixed on the road, his face read no emotions. But I knew a storm would be raging inside of him, his knuckles were white around the steering wheel. Behind us Tiano kept pressure on Diego’s wound, his own leg bleeding through his pants.“Hold on boss,” Tiano growled.“Don’t you dare check out of this world leaving me all alone.”No one dared to say what we were all thinking, perhaps it was already too late. Rosita kept sobbing quietly.We reached the estate, Bruno carried Diego inside, barking orders that made everyone scatter around.“Get me the doctor! Clear the east wing! No one gets in without my permission!”Bruno laid Diego on the bed, confirming if he’s still breathing. The doctor arrived within minutes, we all excused them as they began t
Isabella’s point of viewI stared at the letter Eliz brought to my room earlier, my hands tremble as I stared at the words, the ink was smudged in certain places, which shows whoever wrote it had pressed too hard.“Time is shorter than you think. Remember what you are there for, don’t forget the promise you made to your mother. Any mistake you make will lead to the death of your mother.”My chest tightened, Eliz. The quiet maid who barely spoke, the one who always averted her gaze when Diego was around works for that person.The truth kind of burned a hole into my stomach, she worked for him, for the man who had my mother. I folded the note quickly, sliding it into my pocket just as the door opened. Diego stepped in with Tiano, his presence filled my room making fear settle at the pit of my stomach.“We will be leaving in an hour’s time.” He said, facing me directly.“Tiano, this as to be discreet as possible.” He added.“The men alone knows we are going to the Fords, they have been b
Unknown’s povThe world believes I am dead, it’s amusing. It really is. People believe the moment a coffin is sealed and lowered into the earth, that ends it al. No more questions, and they stop looking over their shoulders, they can sleep easier.Diego De’ Luca sleeps easier.He doesn’t know that man he buried six years ago was not me, he doesn’t know I watched him at my funeral, he buried the wrong corpse. I’ve been patient, so patient that I watched him build his empire, continue his grandfather’s legacy.From my window which overlooked the sea, I can still see the faint glow of his mansion’s light across the cliffs. Every night that lights taunts me, reminding me what I have to do to the man who murdered everyone in family, just because my father betrayed his father, he thought he killed every single soul to avoid vengeance but I am alive to avenge my family, my father used to be his father’s consigliere but because of a betrayal that could be forgiven, he made his son wipe out ev
DiegoCarlos’s body was found in the garden at the east path, he had been left with a crushed skull and a blood stained note flapping in the air, whoever did this wanted it to be personal and loud.I went there myself to take in every detail, his body laid there cold. I took the sight in, letting my anger take full surge of my body. I didn’t want to be numb, I wanted to feel the rage.“How did this happen?” I asked looking around my men, trust was both at this point, because I feared it might be a group of men.“There was no sign of the killer boss, no prints or mark except from the paths that shows he was dragged here.”“They were careful,” Tiano said quietly. “Too careful and skilled.”Careful actually meant professional, and professional equals someone with access and patience. Someone who knows how to plan and has the patience to wait for the right time to strike, which is exactly when chaos would help them complete their mission. This person truly wanted me to look in the wrong p
DiegoMy mind was occupied with so many things I couldn’t say without breaking something or destroying things I came across, and betrayal was the top on the list.Miguel’s body hasn’t been buried yet, I didn’t even get to apologize to him, he has indeed been loyal and I doubted him, a great mistake on my part and it’s just because I allowed an unwanted feeling creep in.

It’s all my fault, I didn’t handle this well, Bruno would have done a better job.
