Craving Russo

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

We weren't far from the apartment building, so I told the drivers to park a few streets away to not been seen from any windows of that building, some of my men are on different rooftops around the building with snippers, ready to fire in command, I broke them up into groups as there are only 4 doors into the building, once we were in position, I gave them the clear to enter, shots fired, some people were on the floor dead,

Scar informed me that Adam would be on the 25th floor, once the coast was clear, I told my man to stand in every elevator or emergency exit, stairs, because Adam is not getting away that easy, once I hit the 25th floor, more shots were fire, more of Angelo's men hit the ground, my eyes land on Adam, I shot him twice in each leg making it impossible for him to run, "Grab him" my men walk up to Adam tying him up with ropes duct taping his mouth shut, oh I'm going to have so much fun,

Scar comes into view, relief was all I could feel, I can breathe, "boss, are you alright?" I pulled Scar into a hug, I needed that just for me to realises it's real and it's over, I will have revenge on Adam, and I cannot wait, I let go I took a deep breath "I'm fine, now let's go, my family is probably worried about me, "Oh boss you have no idea" we took the elevator down, I lean back taking it all in, I'm free, I'm free, I will not have nightmares once I get rid of him, but most importantly I can't wait to see my family!

Once we reached the bottom floor, the doors open, we walk out of the building, my eyes found the man, that I have been dying to see for the last 2 weeks, oh shit, what if he doesn't want me anymore once he sees the damages, he won't look at me the same, fuck, fuck, fuck his walking towards me, stop Alexander, stop, please stop, you're going to hate me,

"Alexander st..." before the words came out of my mouth, he kisses me, oh lord this kiss is all I need to stay alive; he kisses me deep, I can tell he misses me as I miss him dearly, he is my life now, my ride or die, and I can't wait to marry him,

He breaks off the kiss, caressing my face, oh lord his looking at the marks, shit it's all over, he continues to stare into my eyes as do I, those beautiful brown eyes are everything, "I have missed you so much Celine, I couldn't sleep, nor eat knowing you were not with me, I search all over the world finding you, I have failed you amore, I'm sorry for letting this happen to you if only I knew I would have killed him myself to end your suffering, I have failed you, I'm sorry Celine"

"You know? How?"

"Kamal, but he only did because it was eating him up and he was blaming himself for not protecting you but not as much as I am to blame, I hurt you amore and I'll never forgive myself, but I promise to never fail you again if you will still have me amore" I can understand why his blaming himself for our break up, but he can't blame himself for not knowing what happened it was my choice to keep it a secret because I didn't want people to think I am broken I'm a Rose for fuck sakes,

He was afraid to look at me as he stares down to the floor, I grip hold of his chin to make him look at me, a tear falls down his face, I wipe the tear away but more comes down, I have never seen this man cry so much in my life, he still loves me, he didn't even acknowledge my damages, he still loves me,

"Alexander, it's not your fault, I still love you, very much and I can't wait to marry you" he finally smiles, he lifts me up spinning us around, he stops but doesn't put me down, "I love you Celine Russo" he called me Russo, my lips find his soft lips, he places me down still his hands on my waist pulling me closer if it was possible, I wrap my arms around his neck pulling closer, I'm never letting go, Alexander is mine and I his,

"Okay love birds, can I please hug my sister" Alexander pulls away as he growls in frustrations, "Cock blocker" I laugh at Alexander's statement, "Ah Kamal, how I have missed you brother" Kamal pulls me into a tight hug, okay I'm going to lose my lungs at this point, "Celine" father and mother come into view, Kamal lets go as I run into my parents' arms, I missed my parents so much, oh lord they know oh great, remind me to kill Kamal, I wasn't ready for this,

Father and Mother begin to cry, oh no, see I wasn't ready for this, I begin to cry as well, so much for holding all my emotions, "Celine, I'm so sorry for not seeing this early, I'm sorry for letting that disgusting person in the house, I'm sorry he took advantage of you, I have failed you daughter and I will never forgive myself" wow I have never seen my father talk this way, he must feel really bad, no one should be sorry, not as much as Adam as he was the cause, it was my choice to not say anything and they shouldn't feel at fault,

"Father, please don't feel this way, I didn't want you to think I was broken, I needed to gain my strength as I knew I was going to be Dona and I know how much you hate weak people, and now look at me I'm the most fearless leader on earth, please don't blame yourself, I will get my revenge on Adam, and we can finally move on"

My father hugged me again it was nice to finally be with my family again and the man I love, once father let go Alexander grabs hold of my hand, I look up to see his handsome face,

"Let's go home"
