Amore Mia

Chapter 42

‘Rochelle Mead' Once said, “Life and death were so unpredictable. So close to each other. We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave this world.”
“Will this be my moment? Will this be my time to leave this world? Will this be how my story ends? Will this be the last time I will hear Nathan’s voice?” Amore thought to herself as she looked down at the phone and ended the call with Nathan. She slided the phone up her sleeves hoping Nathan would track the phone in time. Amore turned around watching everything slowly unfold in front of her. The two officers were standing at the door.
Caity's eyes grew wide as she looked at the other gang men behind the officers. ‘I know Amore told me to be strong, but… but… I can’t fight… I am not ready to die… I still want to do so much with my life… ‘ Caity thought to herself.
Amore turned toward Caity and watched her face filled with horror.
“Amore… please please do something” Cathy mouthed to Amore pleadingly. Tears rolled down Amore's cheeks. What could she do? She could not do anything. Amore turned her head toward the officer watching how his grip tightened around the old lady's neck.
“Please do… please try something. I enjoy watching people suffer… I will snap this poor lady’s neck right in front of you.” The officer pressed his nose onto the old lady's neck sniffing her from her collarbone to her ear, then he turned his eyes to Amore and smirked at her. “Tsh… Tsh… Tsh…Show me what you got pretty, pretty girl.”
The old Lady held her breath in, while the goosebumps of disgust ran over her body. She would not beg this scumbag for her life. She had lived through the worst and never before had she shown weakness and she would not start now. She was not sorry for helping these two poor girls, she would help them again in a heartbeat, even if it caused her to lose her life today.
Amore frowned at the guy. “You are quite a scumbag aren't you… holding an old lady like that… Has your mother not taught you any manners? It just shows how weak and pathetic you are!” Amore tilted her head at him, challenging him back. Amore did not care about herself, her main concern was to get him away from the old lady.
“You!” He was beyond furious, he threw the old lady to the side. He motioned with his fingers to the two guys behind him, they walked past him toward Amore, instantly grabbing her by the arms and holding her tightly…
Amore's heart was pounding like crazy as if her heart wanted to jump out and ran away. She knew she was acting like a mad woman. Who would challenge an officer with “back up”, it’s like calling for your death.
The officer tilted his head at Amore, feeling smug with himself… “Oh, not so big mouth now, are we?”
Amore gave a small chuckle…“Pathetic, so afraid of a woman that you need these two idiots to help you. You can't even fight me alone…?”
The smirk faded from his face, as he clenched his jaws angrily. With quick steps, he walked furiously up to Amore and slapped her right in the face. Amore's head jerked to the side. Truth be told, from the inside Amore was extremely horrified, even though she sounded and looked tough from the outside. She could fight, Yes…but how long has it been since she fought, one on one with someone? She knew she was outnumbered, but heck… she will not show any fear to anyone, she will fight until her last breath, she would not go down easily. Amore turned her head back to the officer and glared at him. He leaned forward wanting to come face to face with her. She smiled and spit the blood in her mouth unto his face.
“You bitch.” He quickly wiped the blood off with his sleeves, then pulled back his hands to give her another slap. ‘BANG' the sound of a gun went off. The officer fell to the ground screaming out in pain while grabbing his hand.
“Ahhh my hand!!” Blood dripped to the floor painting the floor red.
“Who told you to touch her? It seems your hand was bothering you so I did you a favor… Don't you agree?”
Carter stood at the door looking sternly at the officer's back. The officer’s eye grew wide when he heard Carter’s voice, he instantly jumped to his feet and turned to face Carter, and nodded his head in agreement while blood poured out of his hand.
“It seems you do not understand orders?” Carter walked up to the officer pressing his gun under the officer’s chin. “Haven’t you learn not to touch what's mine?” Carter narrowed his eyes at the officer questioningly.
“N…n..no..no. I…I.” The officer stuttered while shooking his head left and right.
Carter pulled the trigger, shooting the officer right through the jaw. The officer's body dropped to the floor. Carter handed the gun to Garry, who took out a handkerchief and started wiping the gun clean.
Carter looked at Caity, “Bring Amore and kill the girl” He then looked down to the old lady on the ground, “Leave the old lady.”
One of his men walked past Carter towards Caity. The other two blokes still had their hold on Amore. Amore begins to struggle wanting to get out of their hold to get to Caity. Caity started walking backward until her back hit the wall. Her head jerked to Amore, her eyes filled with fear.
“No… No… No…” Amore screamed while struggling to get her arms loose.
The bloke on her left hold loosens a bit from all her tugging. Amore instantly ripped her arm out of his hold and knocked him with her elbow on his nose. She quickly turned to the guy on her right punching him in the face. He instantly covered his face from the punch. With both arms loose, Amore quickly ran to the guy that was in front of Caity and jumped on the guy's back wrapping her arms around his neck trying to strangle him with all her strength.
Clap… clap… clap… clap… Carter clapped his hands while walking toward Caity. “Now now Amore. Let Micheal go or I will kill her myself.”
Amore's head turned towards Carter then slowly started to release her hold. Micheal instantly threw her to the ground and pressed her down.
“Okay… okay… fine… but…please… please don’t do anything to her… I will do anything you want… Just don't kill her!” Amore begged while tears rolled down her cheeks.
Hahahahaha… “I never thought I would see the day you beg…” Carter laughed joyfully.
Carter stopped in front of Caity looking her up and down. He took a piece of her hair in his hand and started twirling it around his finger… “Well, maybe I can use you for something…” He threw her hair away and then started walking to the door… “Bring her along.” He said casually then walked out the door.
Micheal yanked Amore around so her face was pressed against the floor. He took both of Amore's arms and tied them with a rope together. Micheal then yanked her to her feet. As they walked out of the house Amore saw a girl kneeling in front of Carter. Carter was standing in front of the girl making it difficult for Amore to see who she was. Carter turned around grinning.
“I have a present for you… Amore. Come and see what I have for you.”
Micheal pushed Amore roughly towards Carter causing her to almost stumble.
“Clara?” Amore asked shocked.
“Do you like my present?” Carter asked excitedly.
Amore frowned at Carter utterly confused.
“You're a crappy gift giver!” Amore said
“I beg to differ…” Carter said while crouching next to Clara.
Clara was looking down at the ground not daring to look him in the eyes. He grabs Clara's chin tightly yanking her head up.
“Clara, here told me you're her sister…”
Amore narrowed her eyes at Clara. “She is not.”
Clara and Carter instantly turned their heads to Amore…
“Okay then… let me correct that…. Half-sister then..”Carter said.
“Nope… She is nothing of me.” Amore said while shaking her head.
Carter turned his head towards Clara furiously…
“You dare lie to me?” Carter asked with a raised eyebrow.
“No… no… she was not supposed to know… this…how…”
‘SLAP' Carter hit Clara across the face causing her body to fall to the side. Carter stood up and looked towards Amore…
“Oh well… the plan still stays the same. But…” Carter said then moved his eyes towards Caity, he clapped his hands together and then looked back at Amore.
“Let’s play a game… You get to choose who lives … Clara or that girl.” Carter pointed towards Caity with his chin. “Better chose wisely or I'll choose for you.”
