Adriano

Chapter 32:

ADRIANO'S POV:
'Why did you lie?' I snap.

I've never touched Fouzia before and she knows it, meaning she cheated on me.

'Who said Im lying?' Fouzia replies.

'You and I both know that's not my child you're carrying.' I say. 'So why did you lie?'

'There's something going on between you two and I needed it to stop.' She says, poking my chest.

I narrow my eyes at her.

'There's nothing.' I reply.

'Then why did you try explaining the situation to her downstairs?' She asks, tilting her head.

I stay quiet.

'You love her,' Fouzia mutters, looking down.

'No I don't.' I reply.

'Yeah you do,' she says. 'I'm not stupid.'

'I'm fed up of your bullshit Fouzia.' I say. 'You're a liar, and a cheater.'

'I didn't cheat on you.' She says. 'It was fake.'

Her eyes widen as I take off my silver wedding ring and slam it down on the table.

'I'm done with this, whatever this was.'

I turn around and start to walk out.

'What!' She says, her eyes wide. 'What about Vittoria, your mother?'

I stop in my tracks and clench my fists.

'She's no mother of mine.' I snap. 'I want a divorce.'

I leave the room and walk down the corridor, I see Jasmine come out of Dilara's room and she glares at me.

'You're an asshole.' She snaps.

'It's not my child.' I reply. 'Fouzia cheated on me.'

'Good.' She replies. 'You deserve way worse than that.'

'I'm not in the mood for this.' I mutter.

I try to walk around Jasmine but she pushes me back and points a finger in my face.

'Dilara deserves better, you owe her a huge apology.' She snaps. 'And not buying her gifts, you need to speak to her.'

'I will,' I say.

Maybe after we break Blondie out of prison.

'Bullshit,' she scoffs.

I glare at her.

'Go make sure everyone's ready for tonight.' I snarl. 'And remember who your leader is.'

*********
'Are we seriously doing this?' Lorenzo asks.

He anxiously runs a hand through his blonde hair.

'Yeah, we need answers.' I reply.

Dilara hasn't looked at me since she came from her room. I watch her and she straps a gun to her thigh and puts a couple knives in the waistband of her trousers.

She looks up at me and I quickly look down.

'So the plan is to go in, shoot up the place and break Blondie aka Eliza out?' Jasmine asks.

'Yeah,' Alessandro replies.

'We're all going to die,' Matteo mutters.

'I agree.' Alora says. 'This is so stupid.'

'Adriano always comes up with Stupid ideas.'  Dilara mutters.

Jasmine holds back a laugh, and Xuan stops himself from smiling.

Zoya grabs two guns and Amira walks into the room.

'The cars are ready for us.' She says.

Fouzia hasn't come out of her room yet and I know Mimi's going to go check up on her sooner or later.

Amira's staying with them, to monitor the entire operation from her laptop.

Alessandro places a kiss on Mimi's forehead and she smiles up at him.

'Is everyone armed and ready?' I ask.

'Yeah,' they all say together.

Jasmine squeezes Dilara's arm and smiles at her.

We all get into two tinted black cars and make our way to Ironwood State Prison.

Matteo, Xuan, Alora and Zoya are in the car with me and the journey is silent.

'Are you sure that DNA test was real?' Matteo asks.

'Yeah,' I reply.

I've tried not to think about it to much but there's no running away from it.

Matteo fiddles with the safety of his gun and stays quiet.

When the car stops we all pull up our black masks and get out.

Dilara gets out of the car opposite to mine and glares at me.

Everyone's masks are up and we start walking into the police station.

'Hands up!' I snap.

'Where's Eliza Bianchi's cell!' Alessandro snarls.

An officer goes to reach for his gun and Zoya immediately shoots him down.

They swarm us and we start shooting at them.

An officer runs up to me and I shoot him. I see one creeping up on Dilara and shoot him too.

She looks at me and continues fighting.

'I'm going to ask this one last time, Where is Eliza Bianchi!' I yell.

The blonde receptionist has been hiding behind her desk the entire time.

'Cell 24A.' She squeaks.

Matteo pulls down his mask and lets out a sigh.

'We're not dead yet,' Jasmine mumbles.

'Key word yet.' He replies.

I grab a keycard off one of the dead officer's body and Xuan, Lorenzo and Zoya stay behind to clean up the mess while we go look for the prisoner.

We walk down a long corridor with identical cells on either side.

'Over here!' Dilara yells.

I walk over to her and she stands before cell 24A. She takes the keycard off me and unlocks the door.

A blonde woman with piercing blue eyes sits in the corner of her bed. The lower half of her face is burnt off and she doesn't look a day over twenty five, which is extremely creepy for a 38 year old.

I remember the day I attacked that woman with acid and I do not regret it.

She was the cause of all this. The reason why Dilara and I split.

If she didn't interfere in our date would things have gone differently?

Would Dilara and I be married? Would we be happy and have a nice family?

I turn to Dilara and see her glaring at Eliza.

I cock my gun and Eliza slowly turns to look at us. Her eyes scan me and Dilara and instantly go behind us to Matteo.

Her eyes brighten.

'I knew you'd come for me,' she laughs. 'I knew you'd find out sooner or later.'

'What are you talking about' Terzo snaps.

She raises a finger and points at Matteo behind us.

'Welcome back,' she says. 'My son.'
