Adriana barely made it halfway across the arena before she started smiling.

Not the small, tired smirk she had given Lorenzo.

A real smile.

The kind that made her cheeks hurt.

She tried to hide it.

She really did.

But when she pushed open the cafeteria door, Kai immediately noticed.

He was sitting at one of the long tables, a plate of food in front of him and a half-empty bottle of water in his hand. He looked up when she entered.

Then he slowly narrowed his eyes.

Adriana stopped.

"What?"

    With the speed of light, Adriana scrambled to her feet.Pain shot through her knees, and she nearly stumbled. She caught herself against the wall, biting back a cry.Lorenzo watched without offering assistance."Careful," he said mildly. "I'd hate for you to injure yourself before you complete your new duties"Adriana turned towards him, her face burning with rage.For one wild moment, she imagined grabbing him by the collar and shaking every ounce of cruelty out of his body.Then she remembered Kai.Kai lying in bed with his injuries.Kai smiling, when she had returned from the mission.Kai calling, her Red Devil and telling her how proud he was.Kai, who had already suffered enough because she had dragged him into a world neither of them truly understood.Her anger did not disappear.It became something sharper.Something she would have to swallow."Yes, sir," she whispered.Lorenzo smiled."There. You can learn"She turned and hurried down the corridor.Behind her, Lorenzo called

    Kai cast Rex annoyed look, then he grabbed a jacket, slipped it over his shoulders, and quietly left the dormitory.The corridor was dimly lit, and the compound had settled into an uneasy silence. The rain had softened slightly, but the ground outside remained soaked.Kai moved slowly, one hand pressed against his injured side.Every few steps, he had to stop and catch his breath.By the time he reached the corridor leading to Lorenzo's suite, he was already regretting every decision that had brought him there.Then he saw her.Adriana was still kneeling beside the door.Kai stopped dead.For a moment, he couldn't even process what he was seeing.Her head was bowed slightly, and her red hair hung in damp strands around her face. Her shoulders trembled occasionally from the cold, but her back remained straight.She looked exhausted.She looked miserable.And she looked furious enough to murder someone.Kai's chest tightened."Oh, Adriana," he whispered.He took a step forward.Then ano

    The rain showed no mercy.It came down in heavy sheets, hammering the courtyard and turning the once-neat walkways into shallow streams. The wind howled through the compound, rattling the windows and forcing the few men still moving around outside to hurry towards shelter.Yet, beside Lorenzo Russo's suite, Adriana remained on her knees.By now her fingers had gone numb. The cold had sweeped through her clothes, settling into her bones, while her knees throbbed from the unforgiving floor beneath them. Her short red hair, which she had carefully arranged before leaving the dorm, was now a complete disaster. Strands clung to her cheeks and forehead, plastered against her skin by the rain that had blown through the open corridor.She looked like a woman who had crawled out of a battlefield and was now seriously considering dragging the entire battlefield down with her.And perhaps she was."Psychopath," she muttered under her breath.A gust of wind swept through the corridor.She shiver

    Adriana and Kai swallowed emptiness as the doorknob turned.Neither of them dared to speak.The door creaked open, and a pair of polished black shoes appeared at the entrance. A familiar figure stepped inside, his expression so cold that the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.Rex.Both of them released the breath they had been holding.Unfortunately, their relief was short-lived."I've been gone for less than three days," Rex announced, shutting the door behind him, "and you two have already managed to turn this place into a disaster zone, what the fuck have you guys done now"Kai immediately sank deeper into his pillows.Adriana, on the other hand, remained seated with the innocent expression of someone who had absolutely nothing to do with the trouble in question.Rex looked at Kai first."And you"Kai blinked. " What about Me?""No, the ghost, standing behind you"Kai glanced over his shoulder before realizing Rex was being sarcastic."Oh"Rex pinched the brid

    l As the gang, prepared to move, Victor climbed into the vehicle ahead of Adriana and raised a hand, signalling the convoy to move.One by one, the engines roared to life.Adriana eased her foot onto the accelerator and followed the others out of the warehouse compound. The sky was beginning to lighten, a thin grey line spreading across the horizon, but dawn was still a long way from breaking.As the vehicles rolled through the deserted industrial roads, she kept her eyes fixed ahead.She didn't speak. She didn't turn around. She didn't do anything that might draw attention to herself.For once, silence was her greatest ally.The convoy reached the compound without further incident.The moment the gates swung open, the vehicles drove into the courtyard, where several men were already waiting. The shipment was unloaded under Herod's supervision, and the recovered crates were carried into the secured storage room.Adriana parked the vehicle and climbed out, stretching her stiff fingers

    Adriana's attention returned back to the road.And that was when she noticed the vehicle approaching from the opposite end of the street.It had no headlights.It moved slowly, almost silently, emerging from the darkness like a shadow.Adriana frowned.The vehicle was not on Kai's map.It was not part of the plan.And it was moving directly toward Lorenzo's position.She reached for the radio.Before she could press the button, a sudden flash illuminated the warehouse entrance.The approaching vehicle accelerated.Adriana's eyes widened."Lorenzo!"The name escaped her.She threw open the door.And ran.The warehouse was a nightmare of smoke, shouting, and gunfire.Adriana kept low as she moved between abandoned equipment and stacked crates.She could hear men shouting instructions, but the words blurred together.All she could see was Lorenzo.He had taken cover behind a concrete pillar near the loading bay.Two of his men were pinned down several metres away.The approaching vehicl

    Adriana's mother, April, took a deep breath and held Adriana's hand tightly. "Adriana, baby, I have something to tell you. Jewel has been taken away from her mother. "What do you mean, by Jewel has been taken away from her" Adriana asked, confusion cladding her thoughts. Jewel was the daughter of

    Up until the next morning, Adriana was let out where she was kept after the incident with Lorenzo. She was wondering what was wrong with such a person who carried a strong aura. She felt happy to be off his claws but deep down she was worried about him. She felt the urge to see him once more. Just

    As Lorenzo walked out of the room, his dark aura lingered in the air. The tension in the room could cook a meal. Adriana was still on the floor, bleeding profusely. However the look on her face, didn't look like she was scared. As soon as Lorenzo's feet faded away, his men quickly grabbed Adrian

    Adriana's head throbbed as she slowly regained consciousness. She was disoriented, and her mouth felt dry. As she opened her eyes, she was met with an unfamiliar room filled with rows of beds, each occupied by a girl. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and desperation. Adriana's gaze wandere
