--------------------------------------------------------------

In that moment, I knew what I have to do. I grab the gun and point it at him, screwing my eyes shut, I tighten the grip I have on the weapon.

A loud bang is hear in the room as a shot is fired. But who fired? Sandro? Or was I the shooter?

*********************************************

I don't dare to open my eyes, scared of what just happened. I don't know what I am more scared off, actually killing someone or Luciano being dead.

That's a lie. Of course I am more scared of Luciano being dead! That means I am left for Sandro to do as he pleases with me and it means that I actually lost someone who I cared about a lot before I even had a chance to actually try something with him.

But if I killed Sandro, which I kind of hoped I did, it would make me a murder. It would mean I took someone's life and dirtied my hands with their blood. No matter how bad a person is, you can never decide if they deserve to live or not, is something my mom used to tell me when I said I wish someone was dead.

I scream loudly and start to trash when I feel someone hands take the gun away from me. "Shh, calm down, cara. It's okay, it's over, open your eyes for me." I hear a voice I came to love in last few weeks, a voice that kept me sane and drove me crazy at the same time.

I take a shaky breath and slowly blink my eyes open, coming face to face with Luciano. He smiles a little and me and wipes away the tears I didn't even know that they were still falling down my cheeks. I watch him throw the gun onto the bed before he takes my hands in his, making me notice how much I am shaking.

"Cara, look at me. Take a deep breath, it's okay, everything it's over now. You are safe." He says softly and pulls me against him, wrapping his arms around my. He rubs my back a little and I bury my face into his neck and slowly wrap my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly, just to make sure he is really here and that I am really safe.

"Y-you're h-here." I mumble against his skin as I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down a little.

He nods and kisses my head. "I am here, cara." He says softly. "Come on, let's get out of here." He softly says and I nod. We slowly pull apart and he takes my hand in his, starting to move towards the doors when I pull him back, making him raise his eyebrow at me. "What's wrong?"

I blush and look down at myself, standing there only in my lingerie, feeling very exposed to him. I self-consciously wrap my arms around me. After Sandro cut the dress I guess it wasn't hard for it to fall off of me when I jump off the bed.

I glance up at him, seeing him looking me up and down, making me blush harder. He clears his throat when he notices me watching him. "Right... Um, can I put the covers around you?" He asks, sounding a bit awkward.

I nod a little and he does as he said. "Don't look at him." He says as he takes my hand and slowly leads me out of the room and down some halls, making us pass a few familiar faces, all of them staring at us, making me hold the covers tightly against myself and hide behind Luciano a little.

He leads me outside, stopping only when we are next to a car and a panting Tony comes running after us. He stops next to us and smiles down at me. "Glad to see you are okay, Alexis." He says to me, making me smile a little at him and nod, not really in the mood to talk.

Luciano clears his throat. "Tony, talk, we are leaving."

Tony turns to him and turns serious, nodding quickly. "Of course boss, sorry boss. We are going to clean this up and then come to the house. We lost two and a few are wounded, but I don't think we will lose any more men. Sandro's men are all dead, boss. Also, you should probably ring your dad and sisters, they called after you already went in."

Luciano simply nods. "Thank you, Tony." Tony nods a little before leaving us. Luciano looks down at me and pulls me against himself. "Alessandra, Caterina and my dad are waiting for us at home, cara." He says and I hug him back, nodding a little. "We all have been so worried about you. Cara, I am so sorry for running away from you like that and then letting you walk away that night... I could have stopped this if I wasn't such an idiot. Please, forgive me." He whispers the last part softly.

"The past is the past, Luciano, it can't not be changed and we should not dwell on it. Everything is okay no, and that's all that matters." I say before glancing up at him. "And I forgive you."

I really mean that. I don't blame him for anything, it was all just me being a big kid and nothing less. But on the bright side, everything is over now and I am glad about that.

Luciano smiles down at me and kisses my forehead. "Let's get you home." He says and helps me into the car before following me in and driving off.

After a few minutes of silence, he speaks up. "I know it's kind of early and not the right time for this, but do you think that maybe you could give me a second chance?" He asks, making me look at him.

I bit my lip a little. "You have the worst timing, yes, but better this then thinking about what could've happened if you came a few minute later and about me killing someone." I take a deep breath and glance out of the window, glad he is not rushing me to talk with him. "I-I don't know." I whisper.

I can feel his eyes on me, but don't say anything. "Why?" He asks. "Is it because you got kidnapped? Or the fact that I am a criminal? Maybe is the fact that I killed before? That you killed someone for me?" He rambles off.

I shake my head no quickly. "Is not that. I don't know if I can trust you." I say, making him frown. I answer his unanswered question before he even opens his mouth. "How can I know you won't look for another one when we get into a fight? Or when I won't want to have sex with you? What if I won't be enough for you? I don't want to be in a relationship with a cheater, Luciano." I explain myself.

"I am sorry about that, cara, you don't imagine how much I regret doing that to you. But you need to know I will never cheat on you, I am not that kind of a man. You can bet if there is one thing my father beat into me is how to treat the girls in the right way." He says with a small chuckle. "I will make it up to you, cara, and I will prove myself to you. I will make you see how much you mean to me. And I will never pressure you into having sex with me." He says softly, glancing at me as I blush and nod a little. "Does this mean I get the second chance?" He asks hopefully.

I giggle a little and nod as I watch him smile widely in relief. "But, I will need time to get used to all this. And I will need time to trust you completely again. Can you grant me that?" I ask him softly.

He smiles and nods. "Anything for you, cara." He says softly, making me smile back at him. "And this brings me to the next question. Is it too soon to ask you out on a date?" He asks.

I shrug a little at his words. "I don't know... maybe... but that does not mean I don't want to go on a date with you." I say shyly, blushing a little. "And if I agree to go on this date with you, what exactly would be do?" I ask curiously.

He shrugs. "I don't have a clue... Yet!" He says, making us both start to laugh.

It was then that I know we will be okay, sooner or later, we will be okay. And that is all that matters to me.
