Mr & Mrs Montero

Chapter 25

Montero's POV

"I can't say I missed you. You have a habit of showing up in places where you are not invited." I replied annoyed.

"Yes well, I kinda miss you from time to time. You remind me of my husband, you know, your brother, the one you killed." She smiled, Eawa grasped.

Eawa was at the end of the forest and when she grasped, she stumbled back. And another push would result in her falling into the river.

Maria's smile was holding nothing but mockery, and it was getting on my nerves.

"Another habit I despise. At this rate, you'll end up like just your husband." I snarled.

"Careful D, you treading on thin ice here. Don't test my patience, I might actually fall for it." She tilted her head, biting her lower lip.

"What happened to you, Maria?" I asked sympathetically.

"Oh you know, nothing much," She retorted casually. "Except the fact that you killed my husband, and left me for dead. Just your normal psychotic Montero family crazy bull crab vendettas." Her voice back to angry Maria that is ready to murder everyone.

"And if it wasn't because of your wife-" she continued, and at that moment, I could sense her.

My wife.

She was right behind me. I could feel her presence.

"Mom..." Eawa whispered.

Kalani came to view with her hands lifted in surrender and my heart sank. This is what I didn't want. My family in one place with Maria pulling the shots. But here we were, with Maria with a gun pointed at my daughter, and my wife showing how vulnerable she could be.

At least the others kids were not here.

"Would you look at that, you talk about her, she appears." She points at her with her gun. "Now, as I was saying, if it wasn't for her, I would be dead by now."

"And you not." Kalani interrupted her, proceeding closer to me.  "Please," she pleads with her. "Don't do this." She shook her head, her eyes filling up with tears.

"Would you look at that," She looked back at me. " Your wife is begging. I almost feel bad for her." Her mockery voice was getting on my nerves.

"I would sweetheart." She turned to my wife. "Really I would, but your husband killed mine in cold blood while I was pregnant and I just, I can't seem to erase that from my mind." She shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears.

This was starting to annoy me. Heck, I was already annoyed and the only reason why I haven't shot Maria on her head was that she kept pointing the gun at my wife, then at my daughter.

"Can we just shoot her already?" Jacobson muttered.

"I'd like to, but let's first get my daughter and wife safe yea?" I looked at him. He nodded in agreement.

She then turned to me again, tears falling down her cheeks, and her voice cracked.
"Liam was a good man Romano. A man who just wanted to have a big brother. A brother who wasn't there!" Her voice raised.

"I was there for him godamnt!" I yelled in frustration because before all this, I thought the world of Liam. Then like the weather, he changed, and he just wasn't the little brother that I grew up with.

"Not when it came to table decisions no!" She yelled.

"This is what this is all about?" I chuckled. "A decision at the table." I threw my one hand in defense.

"It was more than that and you know it!" Her voice rose.

"What was I supposed to do huh?" I asked her.

"You should have given me him a chance. All Liam wanted to prove was that he was worth it. His decisions mattered like how yours mattered too. He wanted to make you proud, but you kept shutting him away." She wiped away her tears.

"A chance he was deserving. But, you didn't give him that..." She turned away, but her gun still pointing at me. With that, I took the opportunity, and I shot her straight on the head.

Alina's gun was already on the trigger, pointing on my daughter. And the moment Maria went down. All hell broke loose.

She pulled the trigger, the moment I shot Maria. Two shots on her stomach, and one on the head.

My world went in slow motion. Eawa was shot.

My Eawa was shot.

Eva's POV

It's been sixteen years. sixteen years of peace and no crazy disturbance then suddenly, it was like being sucked into a vacuum, everything just went crazy.

The attack, Montero being shot, Eawa being kidnapped, I mean seriously, how crazy can a couple of days be?

As I looked at Kalani's kids, I smiled. I know that the situation we were in didn't merit a smile, but she did it. She raised good kids with that crazy mafia guy I wanted to kill every three seconds in his presence.

I also ended up with his crazy retard of best friend Santoro. And we made a good life for ourselves and our kids. And for what it's worth, I'm glad it worked out.

As I cock my gun, ready for another round of hellfire, I hear fire guns blazing not far from where we are.

"Eawa..." Dakota whispered, finally waking up, her eyes filled with tears. Her heart was beating at a fast rate as I saw her chest rising and falling at a rapid pace.

"Eawa is okay my baby." I pulled her close into a hug.

"No, she's not. She's hurt." She whispered, looking into my eyes with her hazel eyes.

"I can feel it, aunt Eva." She continued, "I can feel it." She hugged me more tightly, clinging onto her chest.

"Something is really wrong," Enzo muttered as he clung to his own chest, tears involuntarily.

"Eawa can't die," Rumi spoke for the first time since we left the house. Her voice was hoarse and broken, it filled my eyes with tears.

"She's okay my baby." I held out my hand and she gladly took it. My voice betraying me by breaking.

"You pinky promise?" She asked, holding out her pinky

"I pinky promise." I sealed it with my own. This family was also mine. These children were my own, and seeing tears in their eyes was breaking my heart. And I couldn't have that.

My purpose as their godmother was to ensure that they were always happy. And right now that wasn't the case. They were sad and broken and they needed their sister. And it was my job to get her back.

Alive that is.

"Do not move from here," I instructed the kids. They all nodded. I then looked at Felix and I continued, "Felix, I would let you go and check it out, but right now, I feel as though Kalani needs me emotionally and you can't provide that." He nodded, understanding that Kalani was a mess when she was in emotional distress.

Eawa was not gonna die. Not on my watch.

********************************"
So I've been missing.

And I came back with not such a very pretty chapter. I know y'all hate me, I hate me too for a second. But y'all are gonna understand as the story progresses if y'all are still gonna be with me.

I hope this finds y'all well, and I hope y'all still love me after this.

I love y'all though 💕💕
