Married To The Mafia Don

TWENTY SIX

ENZO'S P.O.V

We drive down the road, another truck full of people and supplies behind us as they follow. I was out raged. Giovanni kept trying calm me down but I couldn't knwoing Everleigh is in danger. I keep slamming my hands against the steering wheel as I press on the gas, letting the truck go as fast as it will carry us. 

It has been hours since Romano's call, having to get all the supplies collected and to prepare everyone for what was goin to happen once we arrive. I honestly felt more enraged at the fact I never told her how I felt about her, I was to weak to say anything. 

After two hours of driving we finally make it to Romano's warehouse. I see his men already waiting outside for our arrival. I just wanted Everleigh back, if it came down to it they could have all the supplie, I can easily get more but I want Romano dead and out of sight. Romano is weak, he is gullible for running his own mafia, tricking him would be easy if all goes as planned. 

We step out of the truck armed and ready for anything as I cock my gun back. Giovanni and Donte runs to both of the back of the truck doors as they release our men from the back. I take my stand a few feet in front of the the truck as I wait for Romano's arrival with my wife. 

Then I see her being dragged forward through Romano's men and my chest tightens, feeling like I was having an actual heart attack this time seeing the dark bruises forming on her face. Her eyes meet mine and her once dried face was now drenched in tears. 

I compose myself as my gaze flickers to Romano who was smirking at this predicament I was in. He was enjoying this and I was seething in a pool of anger. He stops just a a few feet back from me. 

"Ah Enzo, felice che tu ce l'abbia fatto (glad you could make it)," Romano chuckles as he puts the gun to Everleighs head. 

I felt my bodyd run cold as I watched how vulnerable she looked as he pressed the gun into the side of her head. 

"Cut the shit Romano, we brought you what you asked now give me my wife!," I snap, each word laced with venom. 

Just then I watch as Miguel and Lorenzo step forward, I was still processing their betrayl but I got it now, seeing them here on Romano's side. I wanted to raise my gun right then and there just to put a bullet in each of their heads. 

Romano chuckles, fueling my rage before he waves the gun that once was pinned to Everleigh's head in a circular motion. His men stride forward as they go around checking out the back for the supplies I had brought. Once they walk back giving Romano a slight nod, I snapped. I just wanted Everleigh, they could have it all just for me to have her. 

"My wife, now!," I growl, my chest rumbling as I make the menacing threat towards Romano. 

Romano shakes his head with a sly smirk gracing his lips, "Ah you didn't think it would be that easy did you?," He now points the gun at me but I don't even make a move, I don't flinch, I was used to have guns pointed towards me. 

I would take this bullet for her, I would die for her that much I knew. Everyone pulls their guns out, the air filling with the sounds of loud clicking as they all cock their guns, including my men, including me as I raise it towards Romano. I was not going to go down with a fight. I would use my last breath to fight for her, she was something worth fighting for. 

I watch with rage and disgust as Lorenzo and Miguel aim their guns at me out of the corner of my eye. They were the least of my concerns at this moment in time. Romano's smirk still graces his face as his finger presses in on the trigger as I do the same. 

Time seemed to stop, my blood running cold as it all happened so fast before I could even breath or think or even catch another breath. Everleigh pushes against him as she jumps forward just as he pulled the trigger. The loud echoing bang from Romano's gun rings in my ear as I felt my world crash. I felt like I couldn't move, like I was frozen to my spot, my feet not willing to move.
