Diego's POV

My dad quickly grabbed the phone from my hands and turned it off. His behaviour was unusual at that moment.

“Just a syndicate seeking my help,” my dad replied casually.

“Low-class syndicates like them—why do you bother helping them?” I asked. We had nothing to do with syndicates lower than ours because they gave us a bad reputation.

“It's just this once; he needed my help. Don't bother about it,” he said and hurriedly went inside his house. It didn't matter to me, so I just drove off.

I climbed up the stairs and headed for my room. My vision was vague, and I wobbled as I walked to my bedroom. I tried to open my room door but it wasn't budging so I subconsciously reached for a key in my pants pocket, unlocked the door and went in.

“Who the hell are you?” I asked irritably when I stumbled upon someone on the floor beside the door. The person gasped and moved backward.

“Get out of my room,” I said in a loud voice. The person immediately stood up and was about to run out

    Diego's POV I entered my office and shut the door, removing my suit jacket and hanging it on the hanger. I sat down, massaging my temples. I had not gotten that much drunk in a long time and so I was feeling off the previous night.I took out a stick of cigar from the pack of cigarettes brought out of my pants pocket and put the pack back in. Then I took out a lighter from my drawer and lit the cigar that was already in my mouth. I needed something to clear my head and the cigar always proved helpful.Minutes later, Rodrigo entered. “Boss,I've brought out the boys,”he said. I nodded.“Where is Luis? I haven't seen him since this morning,” I inquired.“He came in early this morning but said he had urgent work to do and would be back soon,” he replied.I took out the cigar from my mouth and released the smoke. “Alright, you can go ahead. I'll be there soon,” I said and he left. I took out my Derringer pistol from my drawer and left my office. At the centre of the compound, the boys wer

    Adriana's POV I entered the living room stealthily, trying to avoid being noticed. However, my plan was foiled when I saw Juan talking to my dad. It had been a while since I’d last seen my dad and I was relieved to see him looking healthy and strong. Both my dad and Juan looked up as I stood near the door.“Adriana dear, I've missed you,” my dad said, standing up to come hug me. “It's been two and a half months since I last saw you and you didn't even bother to visit me,” he scolded.“My bad dad, I've been so busy,” I lied, trying to downplay the situation. The truth was I had been avoiding him because of my marriage to Diego.“It's alright dear, as long as you're enjoying your new home,” my dad said with a smile.I plastered a fake smile across my face and muttered “yes, sure.” Juan caught my eye and I saw him shaking his head in disappointment. I walked past my dad and went to Juan, grabbing his hand and heading to the balcony upstairs.“What are you doing?” Juan asked, pulling hi

    Mr Antonio's POV A knock on my door disturbed me as I rested in my bedroom. “Who is it?” I questioned.“Sir it's Lucas speaking. Luis is here to see you,” Lucas replied. I got up from the bed, excitement coursing through me. Finally, I was going to hear good news after a long time. “I'll be down in a minute,” I replied.I went downstairs and met Luis sitting on a sofa, lost in thought. I approached him and gently touched his shoulder. “Luis, are you alright?”He shook slightly and looked up at me. “Yes, sir. I'm fine,” he replied calmly. I suggested we head to my office for privacy and a good talk. Luis agreed.“So, what brings you here?” I askedas we settled into my office. Luis seemed in a hurry, quickly searching through his phone.“Calm down, Luis. You don't have to rush,” I told him as he continued his search on the phone. He could take his time I didn't mind, as long as I could get some information regarding the Cruz syndicate.Luis sighed in relief and placed his phone on my

  • Love In The Shadows    DIEGO'S FURY

    Adriana's POV I pushed Diego away from Juan with all my might. How could he be so insane? I quickly bent down to help Juan up, and what I saw was his bleeding lips.“Juan please get up, I'm so sorry,” I told him. Someone that had always been there for me, especially in times of troublewas beaten up by my heartless husband and I couldn't protect him.As I tried to help Juan up, Diego forcefully held my hand and dragged me up. Out of anger, I yanked my hand out of his grip.“How dare you,” Diego roared, raising his hand to slap me. I used both of my hands to shield myself from the slap out of fear, but Diego paused.At this point, the atmosphere around the house was tense and hot, with Luis, Diego's dad and his men watching the intense drama unfold in the stairway.“He only came to take me to the hospital because of my sprained hand. What's wrong with that?” I questioned Diego. “Don't you dare question me!” Diego commanded, his tone cold. “I couldn't care less about what you and your

    Adriana's POV I pressed my body against the bathroom door to prevent it from opening. The person tried harder but I tightened the pressure from my body against the door. Who was this person? And why was the person trying to force its way in?“Camilia is that you?” I asked. I figured it might be Camilia since I had told her to come. No one responded the first time I asked so I asked again.“Camilia is that you? If it isn't Camilia then who are you please?” I asked.The person cleared his throat to speak and that was when I knew it was a man.“Adriana, it's me,” the person replied. What? Juan? Why was he here?“Juan, why are you here?” I questioned. Why didn't he say anything before coming?“Come out and I promise to explain everything to you,” Juan said . One day, he would put both of us in trouble with the way he constantly comes here.“Just a sec,” I said. I rinsed the foam off my hair, dried it with a towel and then took the robe hanging near the door and wore it.I came out of th
