Third POV

Letting out a sharpened gasp Adriana has always had her suspicions of whether or not he had a girlfriend but seeing it in person was a genuine shock. Continuing to stare at them she wasn't Italian she was black. A dark skinned black woman she didn't know Frediano had taken an interest in them let alone date one, still looking at her she was beautifully disheveled but beautiful for what she went through today it was understandable.
Now looking at Frediano he was fuming walking towards her, he grabs her arm and says to her
"Didn't I tell you to leave and take my son to my mother's house."

"Our son." she snaps quickly back and says
"Who is she?" Now pointing at her

Frediano now directly looking at Emerald who was just standing there, now getting more irate Frediano still holds on to her arm dragging her down the hall
"Is she your new girlfriend Frediano I didn't know you were into black women is this real or is she just a fetish?" Or maybe just a plaything for you just to fuck on?"

Finally letting her go Frediano was not answering any of her questions he owed her nothing, right now his main priority was making sure Emerald was okay, "Where is my son?" Frediano asked

"You're not going to answer my question first. I thought we were working on our relationship together and becoming a family for our son." She said

Looking at Adriana with bewilderment, this woman was actually delusional after everything she has done to him she still expects for us to be a family.

"What is wrong with you? I already told you nothing will ever be between us besides my son."

"Our son!" She yelled at him

Now at the top of the staircase Frediano says
"I'm guessing you told Alessandro to take Frediano Jr. to my mother's house. I will not argue back and forth with you now, go and don't come back here." Looking at her intently.
He finally walks away from her heading back to his room

"Are you in love with her!?" Adriana screamed out
Ignoring what she just had said Frediano still walks back to his room.

"I won't let you fall in love with her I promise you that."

Turning quickly around Frediano was angry how dare she threaten my relationship now face to face Adriana just stood still. With Frediano now grabbing her by her throat he asked her "I know you didn't just threaten me." Struggling to breathe, Adriana's face was slowly turning red.

"Answer me!" he screamed out

"Frediano what the hell are you doing!?" Emerald now said standing at the end of the hallway

Shocked to look at what is happening Emerald said "You let her go now or I swear to god you will never see me again."

Looking back at Emerald, Frediano knew she was serious now letting go of Adriana's neck; she coughs vigorously, muttering after "Now she knows what you are really like." Before heading downstairs, rubbing her   throat.

Both watching her go down the stairs and leave the house. Emerald goes back to his room following behind Frediano tries to speak first but Emerald interrupts saying
"Maybe Giovanni is right you are violent, you were choking her Frediano, choking her do you hear me I don't give a damn what she said what kind of man does that?"

Looking at her with sorrow in his eyes he says "I'm sorry I'm really sorry, after us being shot at, Adriana threatening my relationship with you I lost my temper I truly apologize."
Now sitting on his king sized bed he held his head in his hands. Frediano's head was pounding with a headache.

Looking at him Emerald knew he had a bad day they both did but was still no excuse for what he just did and he needed to understand that.

Walking up to him she holds his head in her hands and looks in his eyes and says "If you did that to her,that means you will do that to me and if I ever see you do that again to her or to any woman I'm walking out the door and never turning back, do you understand?"

Looking back at her with sincerity and he says
"Yes I understand."

Then he stands up looking down at her he hugs her tightly and then says "Now I just need to know who tried to kill us."
