All Chapters of Love In The Shadows : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adriana's POV It was late afternoon when I settled down at the dining table, ready to eat lunch so I could take my medication. The chef had prepared some Tostadas and milk for me before heading off to rest.I was allergic to cheese and milk, but I couldn't bring myself to tell her. I didn't want her to feel obliged to prepare something else for me. Instead, I covered the tostades and opted for the tomato sandwich that had been made alongside them.Once I finished eating, I retreated to my room, clutching a glass of water to take my pills. After swallowing them, I picked up my phone to check the notifications that had popped up.That was when I saw a text from Juan urging me to pick up his calls—he said it was urgent. A quick glance at my call list revealed several missed calls from him. Just as I was about to call him back, his call came through and I answered immediately.“What's up, Juan?” I asked, eager to hear the urgent news he mentioned in his text. His breathing was rapid and

Mr Antonio's POVHis voice echoed off the walls in my room and his breathing was rapid.“Didn't I tell you to kill him sooner? Why didn't you do as I said?” Delgado barked. It was early in the morning and this noise was the first thing I had received.Sitting on a chair by the window in my bedroom, I drank my coffee, trying not to listen to his nonsense.“What do you expect me to do now that the plan is ruined?” he roared. He stood across from me, lashing out his anger.“Aren't you the one I'm talking to?” he asked. I looked at him, a serious look on my face.“You should just be glad that you were not caught and stop with your shenanigans,” I calmly said. I was about to take another sip of my coffee when Delgado approached me, forcefully snatching the cup out of my hand.With steams still coming out of the coffee, it splashed on my hand, causing the hotness to sting me. Instantly, I stood up and struck my hand right on his face, making the cup he held fall to the ground.“The fuck, da

Adriana's POV After Camilia left to meet her friends, I decided it was time to have fun and ease my worries.I pushed further into the crowd, sliding through the throngs of people as the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. As I searched for a place to grab a drink, I stumbled upon a couple dancing, causing me to bump into a lady beside me and spill her drink.“Sorry about that!” I started to apologise, but when she lifted her head to confront me, I was left speechless.“Mariana!” I exclaimed. Running into her again was the last thing I wanted. She glared at me, her eyes filled with malice.“We meet again, house maid,” she sneered, still fixing her piercing gaze on me.“Housemaid?” I echoed, offended by her words. “I have a name, and it's Adriana Cruz,” I shot back, determination rising within me.This time, I refused to let her get under my skin. As I turned to Mariana seized my wrist, prompting me to pivot back, irritation boiling inside me.“Your wrist is almost healed—good for you.

Diego's POV As I entered the car and shut the door, the driver started the engine and drove off. Leaning back in the seat, I opened the envelope to examine the contents of the letter.As I read further, amazement washed over me, and a smirk appeared at the side of my lips. This was precisely what I needed to know about Adriana. Now, I could tame her and bring her to her knees.I quickly speed dialed Luis’ number and waited for him to answer. “Luis, meet me at home in thirty minutes,” I told him when he answered.“Is it urgent?” he asked. I was still looking at the paper I held, a grin spreading across my face.“Just meet me at home. I'll be waiting,” I said and hung up. Then, I instructed the driver to take me home, and he immediately complied.I entered the house, leaving the entrance door wide open. Then, I saw one of the servants descending from the stairs, and I called him over.“Where is Adriana?” I asked, not knowing her whereabouts. The servant said she was in the library upst

Adriana's POV I tried to open my eyes but they shut back. Then I tried again slowly and they opened. I looked around, scanning the environment I was in and I realised I was in my bedroom.I carefully sat up on the bed, still glancing around the room. A blanket was covering me, keeping me warm.As I tried to get down from the bed, I stopped. My legs were weak as I tried to stand and I collapsed back in the bed.I sat on the bed, vividly remembering all that had happened to me a while ago. As I was remembering, tears welled up in my eyes but I held it back from sliding down my face.If I could remember, I have never done anything bad to deserve this hostility from Diego so I could fathom why he would treat me this way.Still dazed, my door opened and Luis entered, holding a tray containing a jug of water and fruit.“Mrs. It's good you're awake,” he said, dropping the tray on my bedside drawer. I looked at him as he passed me to drop the tray. “Why was he bringing these things for me?”
