Isabella is Missing

Adrian POVThe words stayed in the air like a bomb nobody wanted to touch “But apparently your taste in men didn’t.”I glanced at Victor and saw that his expression was colder than I had ever seen it.Valentina leaned casually against the counter, completely relaxed, while the atmosphere around us turned sharp enough to cut skin.Victor said calmly “It ended years ago.” Valentina said with a soft smile “Yes, but you never looked at me the way you look at him.”My chest tightened instantly. I didn't know why I listened to their conversation. But I couldn't move.Victor’s gaze darkened and he warned her with an angry voice “Valentina!”But she only laughed quietly and said “What? You think I can’t see it?”Well, I don't know what they are talking about and I have no interest in being part of their conversation.I stepped back slightly and said with hesitation “This conversation feels like something I shouldn’t be part of.”Valentina replied before Victor could speak “You definitely sho

I gave you a chance only for my daughter

Adrian POVLuca’s voice was still in my ear “Isabella’s missing.”The words hit the room like a gunshot and Victor’s entire expression changed instantly, every trace of emotion disappeared behind his cold face.He asked with his cold voice “When?” Luca stepped farther into the penthouse and said with hesitation “About an hour ago.”Victor grabbed his coat and asked with an angry voice “Who was with her?”Luca replied nervously “One driver and two guards.”Victor narrowed his eyes and asked “And?”Luca hesitated for some time then said “The guards are unconscious.”The room became silent instantly.I watched Victor carefully, his movements stayed calm but I could see the tension in his shoulders.His reaction was not from anger but fear because no matter what happened between them, Isabella was still his daughter.Victor looked toward me briefly and ordered “Stay here.”What the hell! Who did he think I was?I frowned and said with determination “I’m coming.”He said firmly “No.”I ins

Panic Room

Adrian POVThe sound of shattering glass echoed through the penthouse and Victor's arm tightened around my waist as he pulled me behind the couch. The impact knocked the air from my lungs and my heart pounded so hard I could barely hear anything else.Victor kept one arm firmly around me while reaching inside his jacket with his other hand and a black gun appeared in his hand and his entire expression changed, it became cold and deadly.He barked "Luca!" Luca was already moving and crouched beside the broken window, staying below the frame and he said in a panicked voice "Sniper attack!" Victor nodded once and said in a cold voice "I know."Another loud crack split the air and the second bullet punched through the wall above us and pieces of plaster scattered across the floor.I instinctively ducked lower and Victor immediately pulled me closer against his chest and said in a concerned voice "Stay down."I murmured with a panicked voice "I'm trying."I looked up at him and asked with

The Falcone Family is Complicated

Adrian POVThe words echoed through the room "Tell Victor Falcone, his own family wants Adrian dead."For a second, no one moved. When I looked at Victor, his expression didn't change and that was the frightening part. His face remained perfectly calm, but something dark settled behind his eyes.Luca broke the silence first "The sniper refused to say anything else."Victor buttoned his jacket over the fresh bandage on his shoulder and asked with a cold voice "Where is he?"Luca replied "In the basement."Victor asked again in his cold voice "Alive?"Luca said with hesitation "Barely."Victor nodded once and said "Good."Then he walked toward the door and I stepped in front of him and said with determination "I'm coming."His eyes met mine and he said with gritted teeth "No."I insisted "I'm involved now."He argued "That's exactly why you're staying here."I folded my arms and murmured "You keep saying that."He continued "And you keep ignoring me."I said with gritted teeth "Because l

Matteo Falcone

Adrian POVMrs. Falcone’s words stayed in my head “They’ve already voted.”I stared at her, unable to understand what I had just heard.Then I asked with a confused voice “Voted for what?”Her eyes softened, and she said in a polite voice, “For your death.”Hearing it, my stomach dropped. How could she say something like that with a polite voice like it's not a very serious matter!For a few seconds, I couldn't move and the study suddenly felt smaller. The bookshelves, the dark wooden desk, the photographs on the walls everything seemed to close in around me.Luca stepped forward and said with hesitation “Mrs. Falcone, what are you doing here? Boss doesn't like it when you come here.”She looked at him calmly and said with a smiling face “He deserves to know.”I finally found my voice and asked “Who?”Mrs. Falcone didn't answer immediately. Instead, she walked toward the desk and placed one hand on the edge and said “Not everyone in the Falcone family wants you dead, Adrian.”Well, I w

My Father's Secret

Adrian POVI stared at Victor and asked with a shocking voice “My father knew Matteo Falcone?”He didn't answer immediately, he stood near the study door with his coat already in his hand and he said with an unreadable expression “Yes.”The single word made my chest tighten. What the hell! How could my father know the mafia? My father died when I was born. I didn't have any bond with my father but Mother said he was an honest man then how could he know Matteo Falcone?I looked at him and asked “How?”Victor answered “That’s what we're going to find out.”I followed him out of the study and said “Boss, wait.”He stopped and I caught up with him and said “You said my father's documents were found in my apartment.”He nodded and said “Yes.”I asked “Who found them?”He murmured “My men.”I narrowed my eyes and asked with gritted teeth “Why were they looking through my things?”Like seriously, I thought after so many times we spent together, you at least believed me but I guess I was wrong
