Rodrigo's POV As soon as he finished cutting out a hole big enough for us to go through, everyone stepped out of the way. Just as I suspected, bullets went through the hole rapidly. Of course, we had people waiting for us on the other side. This would be tough."Whatever you do, try not to get killed," I whispered sternly when the shots stopped. "You have better weapons. Use them. Remember the element of surprise."Taking a deep breath, I tilted my gun towards the hole and pulled the trigger. There was a scream on the other side, signifying that I'd caught someone. How many more were there over there?I looked round at the five men with me, and they all nodded, waiting for my call. "Now," I whispered.On cue, we all stepped forward and began to shoot. Bullets were flying everywhere, but we had the upper hand. One by one, we jumped in through the gate, pushing Don's men back.At least, that was how it looked from where I stood. I stayed at the rear. If anyone was to die yet, it should

Rodrigo's POV This was the third room I was checking now, and still no sign of Don or anyone at all. They were all empty, and it was strange. It was even stranger that I hadn't heard anything from Antonio.I turned on my walkie-talkie. "Antonio, are you okay?"There was no reply—just static noise. My eyes widened, realizing that something must be wrong. Either I was the one in the wrong place, and Antonio was where all the action took place.I turned quickly; this was starting to look like a fool's mission.The surroundings were creepy enough as it was, and I did not want to stay here any longer than I had to. I had had enough of the situation already; it was time for me to move on to find a better way.I started off heading for the exit. Everything seemed to be going smoothly so far, up until someone appeared before me. It probably was there since, but I didn't notice.We trained our guns on each other, and I wondered how long it would be before he took a shot at me. Or it could als

Tanya's POV Theresa left me at the top of some stairs. "Go out to the end of this hallway. You'll see some rooms," she told me. "The third one is his room.""Can you take me to him directly?" I dared to ask.She shook her head, already poised to leave. "I will not go with you on that suicide mission of interrupting him while he's probably asleep.""I don't think he's asleep in the middle of all that's going on," I countered."Well, I'll leave that for you to find out." She turned and was gone in a few seconds.I stared at the hallway before me, confused. It didn't make sense that Don would be in his room at all. But where else could he be? Perhaps I would have to search the whole mansion as earlier suggested. I wasn't looking forward to that, but I had no choice.I heard footsteps behind me and scrambled to the wall, glad that the light wasn't bright here. It must be the dead of night by now, but obviously, the occupants of this house were far from sleeping."Heard there's a brawl go

Rodrigo's POV Just as I requested, I was discharged from the hospital two days later. Sure, I was in a wheelchair, driven by someone I guessed I should know but couldn't place a name to him, and not in the best state overall, but I was glad to leave. I was all right, in fact. No one would know anything happened to me except for my still-bandaged foot and the wheelchair. I did see Antonio before I left, and they just said he was unconscious.This was the third day now, and I felt highly annoyed. I clenched my fist when I thought of him lying limp on the bed like a helpless boy. That was not the Antonio I trained. Not the Antonio I wanted.But I couldn't do anything about it. If I got Antonio back at home in the end, I would be glad. The doctors were trying hard to revive him. They still told me that the surface injuries were only the tip of the iceberg; it was much worse within.I wish there were a way I could hurry up the process. It would be difficult to get another assistant like

Tanya's Pov I waited beside the door for a while in indecision. I had no idea what to do next, and looking at him sitting in the room, I did not think it would be a good idea for me to talk to him about my request now. 'I'll wait until a better time,' I thought as I started leaving the place. He had already begun to incline towards where I was. Most likely, he had a feeling that I was still at the door and would soon call me out for it. I was definitely not ready for a confrontation with him in any way. Getting to my room, I fell asleep instantly. All the tiredness that I felt before washed over me and put me in a dormant state until another two hours had passed. I woke up feeling hungry and rather depressed. The thought of what I had before me, the intense talking session with him that awaited me, was enough to make me want to sleep all over again. I closed my eyes for a while before deciding not to be lazy. If I was going to do it, there was nothing to stall for. 'The earl
