FOREVER YOURS

Chapter 19

Third person's pov
---------------------

Gio grunts as he tries to hold Dante straight. He keeps on falling asleep, which makes things harder for Gio.

He opens the door with the key he asked him before they left the mansion. Opening the door, Dante pushed Gio away from him and stumbled towards the kitchen as Gio followed after him.

Dante opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water. Gio was slightly relieved that he didn't take out more alcohol.

"Will you be okay?" Gio asks and Dante nods while gulping down the water,some droplets running down the side of his mouth.

Gio nods back and leaves the house. Dante wipes his mouth before going to the living room. But before he could sit down, he heard a small 'thud' coming from the hallway.

He slightly sobered up, immediately looking around alarmed. He goes back to the kitchen and takes out a gun from under the sink cabinet.

He quietly makes his way down the hallway,but stops when he hears whispers coming from the room he was keeping the girl in.

He walks up to the door, before slowly unlocking it. When the door is unlocked, he quickly slams it open and aims his gun.

He was met with two men, dressed in black, trying to take the girl. Her wrists were tied together and tape over her mouth.He looked towards the window and sees that they somehow broke the bars, so that they could get in.

Before Dante could react to what was happening, the sound of a gunshot ran through the room.

Dante groaned as pain shot through his shoulder and he stumbled back. The two guys proceeded to try and get the girl out of the window, but she was struggling against them. One of the guys raised his hand, ready to slap her but he fell to the ground before he could even touch her.

Blood splattered around the room, as Dante shot him again. Before the other guy could take out his gun, Dante shot him in the head.

He pulled out his phone, ignoring the pain coming from his shoulder and called Elijah. He told him what happened, and asked if he  could send over some men to search the area and clean up the mess.

Elijah was not only angry that Dante disturbed his peaceful sleep with Angela, but also at the fact that someone dared to enter his territory uninvited and get away with it.

After he was done with the phone call, he looked up at the girl, who was staring at him with slightly wide eyes. She was trying to keep a brave face on, but it was hard when there laid two dead bodies in front of her.

Dante grunted as he made his way to her and cut the rope around her wrists with his pocket knife and removed the tape over her mouth.

"Thanks." She breathes out as she gets up dusting off her clothes.

"Follow me." he instructs. "And don't try anything you'll regret later." he warns.

With her heart still racing, she follows him down the hall and he opens the door to the bathroom. Walking inside he opens the sink cabinet and takes out a first aid kit,placing it on the counter. She reluctantly enters the bathroom.

Dante closes the lid of the toilet and sits on top of it. He unbuttons his dress shirt, before slowly removing it. He looks back at the girl as she avoids eye contact. He sighs deeply before speaking.

"If you can remove this bullet from my shoulder, I'll let you go." He says coldly.

She snaps her head towards him,before shaking her head a little bit to quickly. "It's fine, I'll just remove the bullet." She says as she opens the first aid kit.
