ANTONIO

Adriana remained motionless in Antonio's arms as he carried her to a place she's not aware of. Tears pooled her eyes as she thought of what he was going to do with her.

Was he going to kill her?

No, Antonio couldn't possibly do that. He's Riccardo's brother, he wouldn't dare hurt her - she tried to reassure herself but it wasn't working. Watching how a lady had just taken her voice without doing a thing, shows that killing her within a blink of an eye wasn't hard to do.

"What do you intend to do with her?" She heard the wench who had injected her earlier asked.

"Kill her after I've taken the whole Moretti down. She's of no use anyways," Antonio replied which shocked Adriana to the bone.

Kill her? What the hell had come over you, Tonio? - she opened her mouth to yell but no sound came out. That terrified her. Had she lost her voice completely? Is this the end for her?
