The next day, Adele woke up with a strained body. She strolled towards the bathroom. The hot water slipped down her muscles, making her feel relaxed physically, but her mind never felt strangled like this. For these last five years, she has worked hard to train herself as one of the finest officers. She didn’t know they assigned her to a task where she had to deal with a mafia king, who was her sister’s killer. As time passed, her senior revealed why they hired her on this mission. Her looks and appearance matched her dead sister and the only weakness of Decker Costello. “Sir, I am excited about my first case,” she said. “Detective Adele, I know how important this case will be for you and your career.” She stood in front of him with expected eyes. “But you should know why we assign you on this mission. We know Decker Costello as the uncrowned king of the underworld. He assassinated his father’s killer, who was the ex- mafia. You can get all the details in this file.” He exten
Sitting in front of Elijah’s parents, Adele and Elijah were enjoying dinner. “So, how’s work?” Elijah’s dad, Sam, questioned. “Well, Adele caught a criminal mastermind.” Elijah smiled, sipping his wine. “Is it?” Sam smiled, raising his toast. “Stop talking about work; She is a smart girl, and my son is lucky to have a life partner like her.” Elijah’s mom, Miranda said. “Thank you.” Adele gifted a thin smile. Everything looked perfect; she was a successful woman in every aspect of her life. But what was bothering her, “Oh, I need to bring the desert. Adele, dear, could you please help me?” Miranda smiled. Adele followed her into the kitchen, Miranda turned and grabbed Adele’s hand gently, “Is there something bothering you, Adele?” Her motherly eyes scanned Adele. Adele pressed her lips together; how could she tell what was going on in her mind? There was a battle between her mind and heart; Why does it feel so wrong to choose what was right? And why does it soothe her soul whe
“I want you to die,” she whispered. “And I want you to be my death,” he smirked. She released a sharp breath before trailing her eyes on his lips. “Bye, Mr. Decker Costello. I wish you death.” The guards opened the door, and there she left him alone in his room. “I need your help.” She called someone. “I am about to kill him,” Adele smirked. “And you need to be ready to help me.” She hung up the call and straightly went to Sam’s office. “Adele, what are you doing here?” “Can I call you dad?” Sam was surprised to see Adele’s behavior; she never called him dad. “Sure, you are going to be my daughter-in-law.” He smiled and patted her back, pulling the chair for her. “So, being my dad, can I ask you something?” He settled across the charcoal table, fidgeting with his fingers in front of his mouth, scanning Adele’s face. Hmmm, “It’s my wish to kill Decker. I want to give him a painful death.” Sam’s brow arched as his lips twirled up. “Wounded lioness, huh?” “Yes, he kille
Sitting in front of the doctor, Adele couldn’t forget the last word said by Decker. The doctor blotched the light on her cornea. Check left and right. Her pupils soaked the rays, but her breath didn’t hitch. “Breath in.” “Breathe out.” The doctor tried to wipe the blood drops from her face to check if it hurt anywhere around her. “No, don’t wipe the blood,” she reacted insanely. “Is she fine?” Elijah walked with a limping leg, “She is… she is in shock....,” the doctor replied, checking Adele’s blood pressure. “Adele,” Elijah called her name. Her subconscious mind reacted to her name as she shot her peer towards Elijah. “Are you ok?” He hugged her numb body immediately. “Are you hurt?” “I... I want to go home...” she whispered. Elijah read her urgency, “Ok, I will drive you,” He settled in front of the wheels and informed his senior about Adele’s condition. After some time, as the glimpses of Decker’s soul leaving his body crossed Adele’s mind, a lone tear fell from her pale f
“Is she at home?” Sam questioned the assigned officers at Adele’s house.“Yes, sir. After she left the hospital, we followed her here. We can see her apartment lights went off and on sometimes,” one of them answered.“Monitor her. She is smart, and I am sure she will do something.” Sam instructed.“Yes, sir.”“What else did you find from the hospital?”“Nothing special. The doctor said she had some hormonal problems; she was hallucinating.”“Fine, dig deep. I have a doubt she is up to something.”Sam hung up the phone. Sighed, fidgeting with his fingers, he was thinking about something.“Dad, how can you... what makes you think she would help Decker?”“Just shut your fucking mouth, Elijah.”“I felt Decker is alive, and your fiance was trying to protect him.” Sam snarled.Elijah jerked his body away from the chair, rested his elbows on the charcoal-colored table, and furrowed his brows.“She shot him in front of me.”“Now that’s where you are wrong, boy. Your bitch is smarter than you.
FLASHBACKIn the conference room, Sam, Elijah, and his FBI head Aslanwas sitting trying to figure out the coded words said by Adele to Decker in her last meeting.Sam slammed his hand on the table,“I am telling you, Aslan, this bitch....” he greeted his teeth.Aslan is trying to compose himself in front of Sam.“You are right, but we don’t have any proof against her.” he furrowed his brows. Sam shattered the glass on the wall,“But why are we not able to catch her? Is she too smart? No, I am sure every illegal used to leave something.”Sam, rubbing his beard with his index and thumb. He furrowed his brows.“If she saved him, then she must have planned it earlier. Her location.. resources...”“And now she is in front of our eyes trying to make it look normal, but she is still in touch with him.”Sam, talking to himself, sprinted here and there.“She shot him; it was real. But she needs to save him...”“What would you do.... how she was getting updates?,”“Fuck,”He slammed the table a
Driving on the dark road, we were together; The silence was there when I first felt him on our wedding night, and silence was there when he was driving quietly down an unknown path. A five’0 clock shadow came over my frame, making me itch inside. I still remember the night I first felt that shadow over me. Scared as hell, I want to crawl into that shadow today. I wanted to say thousands of words, but they didn’t dare to come to my mouth; All the words and emotions stuck in my Adam’s apple. I didn’t dare to look towards his eyes, not now. How could I? Neither he spilled a word. I tried to look through the corner of my eyes, but his knuckles were white; a hardened grip was enough to tell me he was also battling inside. He turned the car into the woods, which gave a jerk in my back. I hissed in pain, but he caught my frame before I landed my hand for a grip. He twisted the keys, turned down the vibrating engine, walked out, covered the back of the car with a dirty sheet, and sprinkl
