ALMOST CAUGHT

Mr Antonio's POV “Mr Antonio I….” Luis began but stopped when he entered in on us.I immediately stood up from where I sat and hurried to the door in order to restrict Luis from entering further. The man was also on alert and put on his mask quickly.“What are you doing here Luis?” I asked. “Weren't you supposed to have left an hour ago?”“Yes sir, but I forgot to mention something to you so I came back,” Luis said. He was shooting glances at the man in my office and I feared that he might recognise the man.“Can we please talk later….” I told Luis before the man interrupted.“Antonio, I should get going, we'll talk next time,” the man said with a disguised voice and he walked right past us and out of my office. At least, he was finally gone.“Come in Luis,” I said, when the man was finally gone. He came in but refused to sit down because he was in a hurry.“Sir, I just came to tell you that despite Diego waiting for Mr Delgado, the latter did not show up,” Luis explained.“I don't k

HEARTLESS MAN

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

HOME ACCIDENT

Adriana's POV “I said to remain where you are,” Diego's voice echoed in the stairway. Then I heard a click and I had to pause and see what he was up to. To my dismay, he was holding a gun and pointing it right at me.Panic set in.I didn't heed to his order and I slowly moved back little by little till he clicked his gun again.“If you move another inch, I'll start with your legs,” Diego warmed sternly. I had caused this on myself because I shouldn't have spoken carelessly and arrogantly to Diego and I should have minded my business.But how could I allow a woman old enough to be his mother kneel down and beg Diego. It was disheartening to witness that scene so I had to speak up.“Look how it's so easy to catch you,” Diego said, smirking and coming up the stairs. “Let's see how you run away and shut your door again,” he teased in an unpleasant way.The more he kept on walking towards me, the more I became scared of what the outcome would be.“I swear, I'm going to tame and punish you

HE WAS UNCONCERNED

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

UNEXPECTED VISIT

Adriana's POV At this point, I would do just about anything to leave this darn house but running away was far from the options because no matter where I went, I would be found.I was now publicly the wife of the most ruthless and well known Mafia Lord and if I were to run far away, I would still be found within a week.I was in my bathroom watering my face because of the dizziness I was still feeling from the fall. “Get her off my couch immediately,” Diego's words echoed in my mind.Indeed, he was ruthless and had no sympathy whatsoever for anyone. My head banged as I bent to pour little water on it. I had different pains ranging from headache, body ache and sprained hand pain at that moment.My whole body ached so much that I felt like I was hit by an iron rod. I didn't know what to do anymore.Ever since I had arrived at this house, I've only experienced problems and nothing good. I was in no position to do anything myself right then so I had to call up Camilia, my best friend.I

FUCKED UP PLAN

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

DIEGO MEETS JUAN

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

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

DIEGO'S GRIP

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

A SPY FOR MR ANTONIO

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
