All Chapters of Love In The Shadows : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Diego's POV Inviting Emilio to my house was all part of the plan. After discovering that he was the cause of Adriana's mental struggles, I needed to uncover what he had done to her, leaving her so traumatized that she fell unconscious at the slightest trigger.When I told him that he could stay in my house, I couldn't help but find his expression amusing. The way he looked at Adriana each time intrigued me, and I felt compelled to dig deeper. “Does she live here? Do you know her?” he suddenly asked. I had anticipated the question, but not with such urgency.I glanced at Adriana, who was looking at me as if she hoped to hear something reassuring.“She's my wife,” I replied flatly. There was no need to elaborate, lie or dodge the question.The moment the words left my mouth, I caught Adriana's eye, and a faint smile graced her lips. Then I looked at Emilio and his eyes widened in disbelief. “She's married?” he exclaimed, struggling to comprehend my statement. He immediately stood up

Adriana's POV I was in my bedroom, laying down, still thinking about what Diego had said. It would be hard for me to cope with Mr Emilio staying here.I had managed to escape from him a year ago, but I never imagined I would meet him again; so soon.I twisted and turned on my bed countless times, unable to come to terms with the information.Hours had passed, however I still didn't want to come out of my room. I didn't know if Diego and Emilio were still in the living room; I wanted to avoid them at all cost.As I lay there, thoughts clouding my mind, someone knocked softly on my door. I paused, not responding to the knock.Seconds later, the person knocked twice; this time louder than before. I sat up on the bed, looking at the door.“Who is that?” I asked, when the person remained silent. Normally, whenever someone knocked, they would always identify who they were. However, the person kept shut, knocking calmly.“Who is at the door?” I asked again, rubbing my palms against each oth

Mr Antonio's POV “Why haven't you been receiving my calls recently?” I asked when Luis was settled in the living room.“I've been occupied with business deals, sir,” he replied.“Alright. What's Diego up to?” I asked, getting to the point.“What do you mean, sir?” Luis asked, looking at me, seeking more explanation.“Why did he order his men to guard Javier's ward in the hospital?” I pressed, waiting impatiently for an answer.At that, he averted his eyes, staring at his legs. “What's wrong? Why are you acting that way?” I asked, noticing his sudden, unusual expression.“Umm… I was the one that gave the orders for his men to go there. It wasn't Diego,” he confessed.My tone changed instantly. “Why did you do that? I questioned, annoyance rising. “What was the point?” He looked at me and sat up on the sofa, realising my annoyance. “I just felt that Mr Cruz was still in danger; his kidnappers haven't been caught yet,” he explained plainly.I glared at him as he explained. He was the

Adriana's POV I sat in the back seat of the car, watching Luis load my luggage into the car's trunk. Confusion swirled within me; why was he doing that? He shut the trunk and slid into the driver's seat.“Are you ready to go, Mrs?” He asked, starting the engine.“Huh?” I mumbled, completely thrown. I didn't understand what he was saying. Where was I going?“Where am I going?” I asked, searching Luis' face for answers. He looked at me, his expression calm.“No one told you? Not even Diego?” He asked, surprise evident in his tone.I looked down. “It's not like we talk at all for him to tell me anything” I mumbled.“I apologize for not telling you about today,” he said, bowing his head. I looked at him, guilt pricking at me. It wasn't his fault and he didn't need to apologize. I wasn't comfortable with his show of respect; it made me uneasy.“No need to apologize. It's alright,” I said. “Diego said I should take you to go and see your father,” he said.I gasped, a smile immediately spr

Adriana's POV Before Diego could react to the bullet the assistant fired, Juan swiftly shot the assistant on his neck. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes open and his body lifeless.The bullet that was fired grazed Luis' thigh and slight blood rushed from the wound.Diego approached us, his expression tensed. “Are you alright? Did the bullet enter deep? he asked, looking at us.“I'm in slight pain, but I'm fine,” I said, my voice barely audible.He glared at me, his expression indifferent. “I wasn't referring to you,” he said, his voice firm.I looked away, embarrassed. Of course, he didn't care about me, how could I forget about that.“I'm alright, Diego. But most of our men are dead,” Luis said, looking at the bodies on the floor.“How about Rodrigo? Where is he?” Diego asked, not seeing him anywhere.“He was shot in his stomach, so he went inside to remove the bullet,” he explained.“When you return, we'll hire more men,” Diego said, sighing.Luis looked at Diego, confusion etc
