All Chapters of Love In The Shadows : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Adriana's POV {One month later}As I stood in front of the entrance door of Diego's house, my heart raced. I felt a knot form in my stomach as I stood, hesitant to enter inside the house. I sighed twice, hoping that my racing heart would calm down.I tightened my grip on my suitcase. I exhaled and opened the door, the door moving at the same slow pace as me. I stepped inside. How would Diego react to seeing me? Will his expression towards me change this time around? It had been a month since I last set foot here, and I couldn't deny the flutter in my chest as I looked around.Luckily, Diego was neither in the living room nor in sight.Staying at my father's house was a way to escape the chaos of my life with Diego. But as the days turned into weeks, I found myself thinking of him—unusually in a good way.I missed him.The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I had grown accustomed to his brooding presence and the constant way he fought with me. It was a feeling I couldn't quite

Adriana's POV I stopped, my hand resting on the door knob. A knot tightened in my stomach; I had no desire to be in the presence of strangers, especially not alone.Without thinking, I opened the door as fast as I could and wanted to leave. However, I was stopped by another young man who entered into the room.“Were you about to leave?” he asked, smirking.“Yes, I need to go and meet my husband.”“There's no rush, get in first. Leonardo insists.”He tried to grab my hand and take me inside but I moved back; away from him, and slid my hands behind me.The men noticed my hesitation and exchanged glances, a predatory glint in their eyes.“We just wanna chat with you. It's nothing bad,” one of them said, his voice dripping with a mix of amusement and challenge.“Don't mind my friends. They like joking all the time,” Leonardo said. I felt my heart race; I didn’t want to be rude, but the thought of staying in the room made my skin crawl. There were six men in the room and they all looked d

Mr Antonio's POV I sat on a single seat couch, sipping a cup of tea. Delgado descended from the stairs, holding two large envelopes.He sat on the long sofa beside me, leaning back on the seat.“Why did you come to Diego's house to find me? Don't you know it's risky?” I asked.“Enough with your questions. We have other important things to talk about.”I sighed. “You never listen to me.”“Don't try to kill Javier again,” he said. “Forget about him.”I narrowed my eyes, my brows furrowing. “Why should I not go ahead with it?”He glared, his expression hard. “Should I remind you how many times you've failed in your plans?”I looked away, my mood shifting. “So, what should I do? Do you have another way to kill him?”“Focus on killing your son, I'll handle the rest.”I stared at him. “Why can't you do it?“You're closer to him than I am. I can't let myself be seen,” he said, his tone sharp.“I'll try.”“Don't try. Get it done in five days time,” he said, his voice loud. “It's not possib

Adriana's POV Luis entered the room and looked down at me, then at Diego.“What were you doing, Diego? Why is her face red with marks? Did you hit her?“I hate it when someone interrupts me when I'm busy,” Diego barked. “Why are you here?”“Someone stole our special armoury from the warehouse.”“When did that happen?”“It happened last night,” Luis said.Diego glared at me, slowly unfolding his fists. “I'm not done with you. I will definitely be back and I'll finish what I started,” he said.He picked up his suit jacket from his desk and headed for the door. “Let's go, Luis.”Luis hurriedly helped me up from the floor. “Are you okay, Mrs?” he asked.I stood, nodding my head.“Leave her alone and follow me now, Luis,” Diego shouted, his voice echoing off the walls in the room. “I'm sorry, Mrs,” he whispered. Then he strode to Diego's side and they left the room.I sighed, still holding my cheeks. It stung as I massaged it, “Uhhh dammit.”Whether he accepted the truth or not, I didn't

Diego's POV {Four days later}As I was in my room, preparing to go out, Luis knocked and entered my room. I glanced at him and continued to button my shirt.“Where are you going, Diego?”I didn't respond and focused on knotting my tie. He came closer and stood beside me.“You haven't recovered yet? Where are you going?”I sighed. “Don't make a big deal out of this,” I said. “This isn't the first time that I've been hit by a dagger or something more dangerous.”“Even so, Diego, you can't leave the house for now. Your life is still in danger.”I stopped what I was doing and turned to face Luis. “Enough with that, Luis. I've recovered and I'm fine.”“Alright. But where are you going? Let me follow you.”“I'm going to see my father,” I said, resuming with my tie. “And you can't follow me.”He sat down on the sofa, looking at me. “You have finally decided to attend your brother's death anniversary?”I paused, narrowing my eyes. “Is it today? Dammit.” I sat on the bed, rubbing my temples.
