Isabella and Diego drove for hours, putting as much distance between themselves and the city as they could. They were on edge, constantly looking over their shoulders, afraid that the mafia would catch up to them.

As they drove down a long stretch of highway, a car suddenly appeared behind them, tailgating them aggressively. Isabella's heart raced as she realized that it was one of her family's men, and they were being followed.

Diego stepped on the gas, trying to outrun their pursuer, but the other car was faster and quickly caught up to them. Isabella could see the men inside, their faces twisted in anger and determination.

"We have to lose them," Diego said, his hands tight on the steering wheel.

Isabella nodded, her mind racing. She knew that they couldn't outrun the other car, but there had to be another way to escape.

She spotted a side road up ahead and pointed it out to Diego. He turned sharply, the tires screeching on the pavement, and they veered off onto the smaller road.

The other car followed, still hot on their heels. Isabella felt a surge of panic as they drove through a narrow alleyway, barely missing the buildings on either side.

"We can't keep this up," she said, her voice trembling.

Diego nodded grimly. "I know."

They turned a corner and found themselves on a bridge over a river. There was nowhere left to run.

The other car pulled up behind them, and three men got out, their guns drawn.

"Get out of the car," one of them shouted.

Isabella and Diego exchanged a look, both knowing that they were trapped. But they weren't going down without a fight.

They got out of the car slowly, their hands raised in surrender. But as the men approached, Isabella suddenly lunged forward, kicking one of them in the groin and grabbing his gun.

Diego tackled the other two, and a fierce fight broke out on the bridge. Isabella fired the gun, hitting one of the men in the arm, and the others backed off, realizing that they were outnumbered.

Isabella and Diego scrambled back into their car and drove away as fast as they could, their hearts pounding with adrenaline.

"We have to keep moving," Isabella said, her hands shaking on the steering wheel.

Diego nodded, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. They had narrowly escaped, but they knew that the mafia would never give up their chase. They were in for a long and dangerous journey, and they could only hope that they would make it out alive.
