Blood War (The Don Sequel)

28

Kiara

"I would stop there if I were you." Lorenzo quickly spun around now pointing his gun at Mario and my heart sank at the scene.

Mario stood with a gun pointed at Kiana's head. Again, his face gave off no emotion. Is this why they brought us here, to kill us?

"Kiana are you okay, I mean are you hurt? Did he hurt you?" I rambled off barely getting  a proper glimpse of her as Lorenzo tried his best to shield me but I kept sidestepping him.

"I swear to God if you've hurt her Mario-

"Does she look hurt to you, love?"

"It's fucking Mrs.Romano to you." I had never heard Lorenzo use obscenities before. He is truly aggravated now.

"Did I strike a nerve by addressing her by her government name?" Mario was taunting him at this point still with a stone cold expression.

"All that shit talk about you won't kill us and now you have a fucking gun to her head? You're exactly what we expected. Another monster, Mario Morretti."

"If you expected this tell me why do you seem almost disappointed?" Mario asked raising a brow at me as if to prove a point. I feel foolish. What the fuck did I expect from him honestly? That he was the most decent one in the trio so he won't hurt us. How fucking naive of me.

"Hand Kiara over and you may limp out of here alive. One knee cap should do just fine." He casually spoke to Lorenzo as if it was that simple.

"You honestly think I would come all the way to Russia to leave without the boss' lady, you piece of shit."

"My my, such fowl language. You're in over your head if you think you can actually leave here alive. You're outnumbered and your little friend is dead or at least well on his way." Valentina spoke as she approached us. She didn't have a single bruise on her. Not even a speck of blood that indicates she was involved in a fucking shootout. How good is this crazy chick. Lorenzo wasted no time in pulling out a second gun from his waistband and pointing it at her. This is giving wild west at this point. Him pointing a gun at both of them and Mario with a gun to Kiana's head.

"Easy there handsome, I'm unarmed." She said raising her hands in defense. Unarmed or not, she is still crazy and dangerous.

"Would you really risk this woman's life and yours all to try to save Kiara?"

"I owe the Don my life. His wife, that's all he needs. I would gladly give my life for any one of them."

"Yet you haven't answered his question. Are you willing to risk her bestfriend's life?" Valentina questioned with an annoying smirk. They're all sick in the head. I can't believe I thought the Romanos were insane. I mean they are, but still, between them and the Morrettis I'm uncertain who is worse.

"Her life means nothing to me nor does it mean anything to Don Romano. I walk out of here with Mrs.Romano at my side and we all live to fight another day." What the actual fuck am I listening to. Was Lorenzo really bargaining my freedom with Kiana's life. Doesn't he love her? Does he think I would even stand for a decision so stupid? And why is he being so calm about this situation. We really are fucking outnumbered. Why would they even come here alone. Damon is probably long dead according to Valentina. It's bad enough that it's two against one—well two if I include myself but if Stefano arrives which he will soon no doubt, then we will truly be fucked.

"Don't do this Mario. You don't hurt women, right? Or was that another lie?" I don't care how weak I sounded. I would beg on my knees with snot pouring from my nose if I had to. Anything to save Kiana's life. This is what I didn't want—what neither of us wanted. I was never cut out for this lifestyle. Being tied to it is one thing but being at the forefront, a wife to a mafia boss. To be the fucking queen of a mafia empire, Dario was right from the start and so was his dad. We all knew it too. I am not built for this life. I can't be strong forever, I can pretend but only for so long.
