I took an EXTENDED leave from Wattpad... it was almost as if the community has become more toxic over this year... had some arguments about characters and plots, and once again having gay people in my story caused ANOTHER stir. And I was just sick of it. But the book was taken down. Until I revive it lol

But here's this update!!!!!!

Also.... please don't hate me lol😘❤️❤️❤️ (it's a lil sad I guess lmaooo)

Chapter 33: The End?

Dante

I ran as fast as I could through people, bullets, and the carnage that flooded the floors. I had to find her, I didn't even want to think about what he has done to her. If he's done anything yet. Running down halls and turning corners, this place was a maze.

"DANTE!" I turned to my brother who pointed out the stairs. I quickly ran back and we ran down. One of the guards said he was holding her in the basement. I heard some noise and I stopped my little brother from going any further. I motioned for a few of our men to go ahead then shouting and gun shots went off.

"Sir! It's all clear!" When we finally reached the floor two grand doors were there. I kicked aside the bodies and took a deep breath before kicking it open. And I swear my heart skipped a beat everything went red.

Carney

I heard an explosion that shook the whole building. The sounds of gunshots being fired and people scrambling above me. Then the lights went out, and the red and white emergency lights were on. Finally. Lorenzo jerked slightly from the ruckus above us and it gave me the chance to knee him one good time. Lorenzo stumbled back as rolled over a gasped for air. I gotta find a way out of here. Hands and arms still bound, I rolled off the table. Crashing against the floor I cried out in pain. Glancing up I saw him recover and rub himself. Quickly I pushed my self on the wall and got up but he was on me.

"You fucking bitch! Now I'm really going to make your ass pay! And I'll have plenty of time before that Genovese bitch gets here!" Lorenzo lunged at my neck but I moved in time. He left himself open again so I head butted the fuck outta him to the point blood spewed from it. "FUCK!" He fell forward against the wall catching himself. So I took that as my chance to dart for the door. Then my ankle was pulled and I came falling down, turning I crashed onto the hard floors. Bracing for the impact, I know by now I look a damn mess. Lorenzo was back on top of me, blood spewing from his nose on to me. I cringed away but pain rattled my brain.

"G-Get o-off!" I managed and his hands went for my neck as her wore that disgusting sinister smile.

"Looks like I can't enjoy you the way I wanted huh?" He squeezed on my throat and slammed my head down repeatedly. Shouting words I couldn't understand. I was a balloon getting ready to pop. My eyes bulged out in pain, my lungs ached, and my head throbbed. My body shook as I saw white and black dots cloud my vision.

It's over.

Dante

Time seemed to have slow down when the doors open. That creep on top of her, hands around her neck and her body shaking. I filled with so much rage, so much hatred. It seemed as if my bloodlust had skyrocketed, that son of a bitch was going to pay. Adrenaline pumping through my body is shot to my legs. And next thing I knew I was charging after him. I've tackled him down to the ground off of her. I could tell she didn't give up judging from his bruising but that's not enough for me. Blow after blow blood spewed from him, the crunch and cracks that came from his face just pushed me even more. I was gonna him.

"Dante!" My mother shouted pulling me from the raged induced blackout. I had finally looked down at the bloody mess I had made. Good. He fucking deserved it. Slowing I got up and looked at Carney. Worried faces surrounded her as my mother and brother checked her pulse.

"H-How is she?" I asked Damiano.

"It's faint... but we gotta get her home now." I carefully took my pocket knife out and cut those damn ropes and held her. She seemed to lifeless in my arm. I had never felt such coldness from her before. Her faint heartbeat was the only that kept sane in this moment.

"Son. We need to take her home now. The sooner the  better." I nodded and held her tighter. Mother held me stand and caught her lifeless arm when it fell.

"Ma'am, Gallo still has a pulse." Mother turned.

"Take him to the holding room in the vineyard... well handle him after we take care of Carney." As we walked she grew colder and colder. I could stop looking at her bruises, cuts, and her bloody face. If only I had put the pieces together sooner. I should've been home. I could've been with her the whole time.

"Bro... she's gonna be alright. Well take her get her fixed up. She'll be slapping and yelling at you in no time." Matteo tried as we drove back him. It did make me crack I small smile as I wiped her face clean. Looking down at her bruised and brushed lips, I gave her a small kiss.

"I hope so."

Our little at home hospital still felt like a really one. Everything was cleaned too to bottom, it even smelled like one. But I guess that's because we use it so often. It's been a few days and she's still under. I haven't gotten any real sleep since before. The swelling has gone down for the most part and I can see the Carney I know. I held and hand and gave it a small squeeze, but they didn't squeeze back. Just laid in mine, cold.  Her room was full of balloons and flowers. All wishing the best but I was starting to worried. She's lost even more wait... I can almost see her bones. And her face has lost some of it color. I just... I just need for her to make it through.

"How is she today?" My mother asked as she walked in.

"The same."

"Now Dante..." she got in front of me blocking me from seeing Carney. My mother's blue eyes showed how worried and sad she was for me. But nothing is gonna change what happens to her.

"Mother... I just want to be left alone." I said and rubbed Carney's hand with my thumb.

"When was the last time you slept dear? Eaten? Showered?" She said, again distracting me.

"I don't know."

"Look, I brought you some clothes and this is dinner from last night. There's a shower across the hall, please?" I shook my head at her.

"I need to be here when she wakes up. I can't have her think the worst. Like I don't care. Or I'm out doing who knows what. She- She would be so upset with me..."

"Hey look, I'll be here and if she wakes up I'll let her know okay? So you'll be in the clear." She said with a smile.

"Fine. I'll be right back." I took the clothes and headed out the door.

"Any changes?" I asked waking back in while eating. My mom smiled and just shook her head no. I sighed and stood next to her.

"Try and get some rest son..." My mother said as she walked out. I put my plate aside and sat next to her.

"I'm so sorry petardo I never meant for any of this to happen to you." I leaned over and kissed her temple. "I just need you to came back to me... I promise I'll do-be better petardo. Just wake up... please?"

"D-Dante?"
