I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away.
"You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly.
"Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who l...

A soft click echoes in the quiet hall as everyone waits with baited breath, tears streaming down my face as I placed our intertwined hands on my stomach.
"I promised... to keep you safe." I whispered, my eyes closed as fury ran through me until all I could see was red and I pulled the trigger.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
My eyes meet dark, blue ones glinting with unshed tears, his lips parted as my hand loosens from his but he clutches it harder, pulling me into him as I collapse onto the floor, his arms holding me to his body while bullets whizz past our heads.
"We're safe, my love." He whispers, kissing my tears away as I hold onto him like my life depends on him. And it quite literally does.
"Fuck you! Both of you!" Giovanni's raspy and hoarse voice reaches our ears as we glance at his body now slumped on the floor, lying in a pool of his own blood.
Asshole deserved worse.
Kissing my forehead, Nico stands up with both of us and lets Jake hold me steady as he walked towards Giovanni and looks at him disgust.
"You knew who killed my mother. Then you were involved in killing my sister. My father. And now, my wife and child." He said lowly, his voice thick with emotion as he aims his gun down at him.
"You make me sick." He sneered when Giovanni chuckles, clutching his chest as he struggles to breathe.
"See you in hell, brother." He sneered, pulling the trigger twice, the bullet hitting right in the middle of his eyes.
I looked away from the gruesome sight, burying my face in Jake's chest who wrapped his arm around me.
Our friends finish off the rest of Giovanni's allies and men as Jake pulled me to a side to keep me safe before Nico comes over to me with quick strides, his eyes holding worry as I lean into Jake, my breathing laboured.
"I have it." He gives Jake the small vial who cracks it open as Nico takes me into his arms, my eyes feeling heavy.
"My love, keep your eyes open, please, just a bit more." Nico pleads as he puts the liquid to my lips but I can't feel anything except a faint warmth from where he holds me.
He is quick to realise this and quickly puts the small glass bottle to his lips and takes the liquid in his mouth before lowering his lips to mine.
His lips press onto mine and after a second I feel something flowing into my mouth as I struggle to stay awake.
