Bleeding Love

Chapter 68

Damon

The moment I saw Russo, everything went blank. I couldn't see anything but Laeila's tattered body, I couldn't hear anything but her screams. 

I closed the distance between us and held him by his throat, "You asshole" I tightened my grip but I was pulled off by Enzo. "Don, wait. We need to be careful." he said "Listen to your friend Caprio, maybe I will reward you with an easy death." said Russo creasing his shirt. "You are dead Russo, nothing will stop me today. I will end you. I WILL FUCKING END YOU" I shouted and charged at him when one of his men hit me with the back of the gun that made me fall on the ground. I pulled out my gun from the waist and shot him dead. "Hold now, no one has to get all worked up." Russo said stopping his men to shoot me. 

I know the rest of my team is on their positions but we are way too less in numbers. These men with him, none of them are the people I knew. They weren't Miguel's men. He took his support off him since my visit to Mexico. This, this must be his alliance with the Irish Mafia, probably given them some fake promise to get their support. I must say I didn't think Russo had the capability to stage this. I haven't expected so much. That was my fault.

I need to have Russo fight me. Just me and him else it is a lost battle. No I can't loose today.  If Russo wins today it's over forever. I can never forgive myself for what happened with Laeila. I need to finish him before this finishes me.  "You can't win today Caprio. I am the real Don and you will kneel in front of me." he retorted and I scoffed. I don't give a damn about being or not being the Don, all I want is him dead. I pulled my gun at him "Just one bullet between your eyes and game will be over, you may have thousands men surrounding me, but guess what Russo, I don't give a fuck if I walk out of this factory alive or dead, only if you are not breathing. Killing you is the only thing that matters" I said agitated. "That is your problem Caprio, you don't think, you are so blinded by your rage. Poor Sophia" he said and I shot him. My bullet hit him right in his chest just a millimeter away from his heart. I didn't want him to die yet, he hasn't suffered enough but he took her name and that boiled my blood. In a moment there were raining bullets.

I rolled over and rested my back against a wall, breathless from running from the bullets back and forth the warehouse. My men were fighting, his men were fighting and Enzo was fighting with me over the Bluetooth for my reckless move that led into this haywire firing. "Seriously, how stupid can you be?" came his blasting voice amidst the firing. "I know, but I couldn't control when he took her name, he was testing my nerves-" "Then you should have killed him" he cut me off in between disapproving that I didn't shoot to kill him. "No that would have been too easy for him." I retorted. "Well good luck with that" he said in annoyance. 

All of a sudden the firing got still and I heard Russo's whistle "Yo-hoo anybody home? Look our Donna came to meet us" What the hell!  How this happened where is Ric. "Come out Caprio, I thought you were intelligent enough. I didn't need to voice it out." He said proud of himself. "Ugghh fine. Seems like Master will come when his Pet will call. C'mon Donna do the honors. Call him." There was silence. "I said call him" he said with gritted teeth and I heard her scream. "Find Ric" I said to Enzo from my earpiece because I needed my brother safe too. Enzo is the only one I trust and right now only one who can save him if he is in danger. "You are not going out alone, Soph-" "I will finish Russo, you save Ric." I cut him off and I saw him sneaking out slowly.

I stepped out. He was standing there holding his wound the blood was oozing out but he composed himself good enough for someone who is just shot. I saw one of his man holding Sophia with her arm and gun at her head. Her hands were still tied with my tie. They have untied her from the steering but kept her hands tied. There were bruises on her forehead and jaw. The bruises that were not given by me. They touched her. They touched my Doll. Where the hell is Ric? I thought, how is this possible that he got hold of Sophia with Ric guarding her.
