71. Burning Truth

Chapter 71Adrian's PovThe fireball rose into the sky from the vehicle and the heat from the car slapped my face. I closed my eyes tight as shards of metal rained down around us. After a moment, I stepped out of the car and what I saw left me standing there frozen.Marcus grabbed my arm. "Boss, we need to move. Now. They're on our tracks." The van engine roared. My men were shouting. The children we had rescued were crying in the back.I couldn't hear them. All I saw was the burning wreckage. Shit."The shooter," I said. My voice was flat. "Did anyone see where the shot came from?"Marcus shook his head. "It was too far and very fast. It was a professional shoot and the children weren't found in there, they've been taken away." I nodded and got back into the car. Visibly shaken by the incident and what had just happened.I turned to Marcus. "Margaret knew something… she was about to tell me, and now she's dead." I closed my eyes tightly. What was she about to tell me? Does she know w

72. Meeting Volkov

Chapter 72Adrian's PovThe next morning, Marcus called."Boss, the elders are meeting. And there's just been an introduction of the anonymous shareholder, with the second most highest share after you. His name is Volkov, boss." Volkov? The name sounded familiar yet not familiar."Go on Marcus.""Yes, Boss. He is offering them shares in his company. Promising protection from your enemies.""Protection from me?""Yes, boss. He's painting you as unstable, coupled with the poison and everything happening. He's saying you can't protect your own people, so how can you protect the organization?"My hands curled into fists."Where's the meeting?""At the new estate, it starts in an hour.""Get the car ready."—·—·—·—When we got to the estate, it was crawling with security. Volkov's security.I walked through the front doors. The elders turned and their faces were cold."Adrian. We weren't expecting you.""Clearly." Volkov stood by the fireplace. His smile was thin. His eyes were empty. He d

73. Catching up

Chapter 73Adrian's PovWhen we got to the hospital, it was pure chaos.The doctors rushed past, with nurses whispering and walking all over. Police stood by the entrance. Marcus cleared the way. We reached the ICU.Luca's room was at the end of the hall, while two guards stood outside. They nodded as I passed.The door opened and Luca lay in the bed. Bandages covered his neck. His arm. His thigh. A thick patch over his left eye.His face was pale. His lips were cracked. Machines beeped around him."Adrian." His voice was a whisper. Barely there.I sat beside him. "Who did this to you?"He coughed. Blood bubbled on his lips."Elena."My heart stopped. "Elena? Your sister? The one who's been missing?""The same." He touched his bandaged eye. "She took this.""Why? Why would she attack you?""Because I figured it out. The mole. It was on the wrong side. I confronted her and she panicked.""Where is she now?""I don't know. She ran. But before she left, she said something.""What?""She

74. The Wrong Wife

Chapter 74Adrian's PovIf the call was traced to the hospital, could the speculation be true that Eva was Elena? That there was a mix up? Could that be what Mother Theresa was trying to tell me?The gun in my hands was heavier than before. I was scared, maybe scared of discovering the truths, of knowing who she truly was? I couldn't tell if the truth I was really scared of was the fact that I may have been sharing my bed with an imposter while the real Eva was out there."Boss, please drop the gun." Marcus said from a distance like he could read my thoughts. Well he was supposed to know how to. He has stayed with me the longest.But I couldn't, because what if the woman my heart kept insisting was my love even when every instinct inside me screamed something was wrong was really not her.I heard voices and looked up at the hospital, nurses were hurrying in and out, someone was probably taking their last breath.Rain hammered against the black asphalt of the hospital parking lot, it w

75. A Hooded Figure

Chapter 75Adrian's Pov"Mr. Moretti!" Marcus turned instantly and a nurse was sprinting through the rain toward us, soaked head to toe and shaking violently.She nearly slipped on the wet pavement.Marcus caught her before she fell."The patient in room thirteen…"She bent over trying to catch her breath."He's crashing. And… and there was a woman in his room…"My heart stopped."What woman?""Her." She pointed at Eva in the car. "She looked exactly like that woman in the car, she had run when security arrived."Marcus cursed under his breath and Eva stared at me and muttered slowly under her breath."Elena." My hands tightened around my side… and the nurse looked terrified now."She injected something into his IV."Everything inside me snapped. I turned away from Eva instantly."What happened?" Marcus barked.The nurse looked terrified.She pointed toward the hospital entrance."She ran and she looked exactly like her." She repeated again.My head snapped toward the doors instantly

76. The Haunt

Chapter 76Adrian's PovI stared at my shaking hands, the same hands that almost shot my Eva or maybe not her but Elena…Fuck. Then who was the masked lady in the hospital?I dragged a hand down my face harshly."What if Luca was actually right?" I muttered.Marcus kept his eyes on the road."We don't know anything yet.""But the texts…""It could be a manipulation you are falling for right now.""The hooded woman…""She could still be unrelated.""Nothing about tonight feels unrelated!" My voice exploded violently through the SUV.Eva flinched in the backseat. Instant regret punched through me.I looked at her through the mirror.Blood still stained her cheek, her eyes looked broken and guilt nearly drowned me alive."Eva…"She looked away instantly, that hurt worse than a bullet."I'm sorry," I whispered. I didn't get a response from her, I mean what was I expecting?"I didn't mean to scare you."Still nothing, just the silence from her. Marcus cursed quietly under his breath.The c

77. Elliots Regards

Chapter 77Adrian's PovThe hospital entrance slid open with a mechanical hiss as Marcus and I stormed inside.And immediately, I could feel the energy of the place, something was wrong, something felt wrong and the place was eerily quiet, even the lobby was nearly empty now. Only one receptionist remained behind the desk.Even she looked nervous, like she sensed something ugly lingering in the building.Marcus rested a hand near his concealed weapon."Which floor?"I checked the photo again.It was a maternity ward, on the fourth floor. We walked towards the elevator and the ride felt endless and then we heard the sound of a very soft humming."Boss. Do you think it's safe leaving Eva in the vehicle? What if she's the real one and something happens to her, this can be a distraction you know." I was quiet for a while. Very quiet, considering all he had said."She will be fine." I said, even though my heart wasn't sure she would be fine and didn't agree with me.And then the humming ca

78. Someone would die today.

Chapter 78Adrian's PovI opened my eyes and I detested the first sound I heard. It was the usual sound of machines beeping steadily in the background.I knew where I was and didn't want to be here, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't even move my body. The sound dragged me upward through thick darkness and pain shot through me.There was a brutal pounding behind my eyes and it felt like fire was crawling through my veins, my throat burned from thirst. My neck ached like somebody had driven a knife into it.I groaned quietly and forced my eyes open, the dim light blurred above me. I tried to move and immediately felt something sharp pull near my arm. It was a bandage, my breathing roughened, the fragments returned as I remembered what had happened earlier. The maternity ward and everything.“Fuck…” I muttered, eyes still fixed on the ground. How could I let something like that happen?My voice sounded wrecked and really dry. I had let down my guard.I pushed myself upright in the c

79. Mafia Lord... Don't mess with her.

Chapter 79Adrian's PovI walked towards the basement, with Marcus following behind me closely and subtly. Not daring to say a word. I was very livid and hadn't felt this way before. A huge frown on my face as I marched towards the basement. The hallway was cold enough that I could see my own breath.But it looked eerily quiet and untouched. I turned to look at Marcus."Are you sure this is the right spot?" He nodded his head."Yes Boss." The hospital was famous for having so many and different basements. We walked further and deeper, the concrete walls in this part dripped with moisture and the fluorescent lights buzzed like dying insects, flickering in and out, casting shadows that danced on the floor.I didn't pay attention to them. This was my life. I've always loved it this way. And then we arrived at a spot with three different underground paths.Marcus nodded and led the way, taking the right path. His hand rested near his weapon.We walked for three more minutes when we finall

80. Finding Volkov in the Basement...

Chapter 80Adrian's PovI didn't believe him. Of course I didn't believe it. I couldn't even bring myself to believe. How could I? This was another ploy to distract me. They've won and Eva is now in the hospital. Volkov has been the mastermind behind this and I let myself believe him. Not anymore.The man gasped for air like a drowning man. His chest heaved. His face was red and purple and wet.Then he tilted his head. His good eye gleamed in the dim light. His tongue came out, licked the blood from his lips."How does it feel to know you've been fucking your wife's sister?"The words hung in the air like smoke.I didn't move or blink. I just stared at the mentally unwell man before me."How does it feel to know that every time you kissed her, you were kissing the woman who hates you? Every time you touched her, you were touching the woman who wanted you dead?"He laughed again, it was high and crazy. The laugh of someone who had nothing left to lose. I let him laugh. My men were work
