Adriana's POV I shut my eyes in fear when Diego held my wrist and I was waiting for the worst to happen. He took my hand and placed it on his chest.I waited a few seconds with my eyes still shut but there was no movement from him again so I opened my eyes to see that he had fallen back asleep.“Phew!” I sighed quietly.Slowly, I managed to remove my wrist from his grip and I lay his hands gently on the bed. I looked at the injury and found that Diego did not even bandage or clean it well.I stood up to leave his room but my conscience did not let me leave him like that; maybe because he took the bullet and still saved my life.I went back to his bed, removed the bandage covering his injury and searched the drawers for his first aid kit.Oof! The injury was really deep and had not begun to heal at all.I brought out the cotton wool, cleaned his wounds gently and then used bandages to cover the injury properly. I was covering his injury with the hand of his shirt and that was when I l

Diego's POV“Where are the servants in this house? Get some water quickly,” Luis instructed at the top of his voice.Why was he even worried about her? She fainted all the time like it was her signature move to escape from something. It's better he left her there by herself then when she's finally tired, she will wake up from her so-called fainting on her own.I could still hear Luis and the servants' voices. “She has woken up sir,” one servant said. For heaven's sake, couldn't they talk in a low tone? “Why was my study made to be so close to the stairway?” I asked myself.I really needed fresh air from Adriana's shenanigans and the house as a whole. I went into my bedroom to get changed into more decent clothes.As I took off my shirt, I glanced at my injury and was confused on seeing that it was changed to a new dressing.“This is definitely not how I dressed my wound earlier,” I thought to myself. However,I wasn't in a mood to reason about such a trivial matter so I set aside the

Mr Antonio's POV I walked into the living room in my son's house and shouted his name immediately.“Diego! Diego!” I called . My voice echoed throughout the house but no one responded. It was like no one was around; even the servants were nowhere to be seen.I called again, this time in a louder voice but still there was no response. I needed to know the situation of things right now. I waited a minute before deciding to go upstairs and check for my son.As I approached the stairs to climb up, Luis started coming down the stairs.“Mr Antonio, when did you arrive?” Luis asked surprisingly. I moved from the stairway to give way for him to come down the stairs.“Not up to five minutes,” I replied as I watched Luis hurry down the stairs. He seemed like he was in a hurry to go somewhere.“Where are you off to in a hurry?” I questioned Luis. Maybe he already knew what was going on.“I'm going to meet Diego outside Sir, he just arrived now,” Luis replied and quickly ran out the door.Perple

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

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
