The whole place was turning into a pool of blood since everyone was getting killed in a mafia war. Suddenly, a big blast of sound echoed over the whole place, making everyone flinch and stiffen in their place.

"fuck someone is trying to mess up with the bomb on the rooftop."
A devilishly handsome man with deep blue eyes like the ocean. A muscularly built body of 6'5 in height said while shooting his last enemy, who was now lying on his back with a loud thud.The man was about to leave the bloody place to clear his leftover enemies who were on the rooftop, but someone stopped him.

"Vincenzo, I'll check the rooftop.We need you here since more rivals will be here at any moment."

Jackson said with his one hand holding a gun while the other had a dagger.He was one of Vincent's close friends.Jackson and Vincenzo had started their training at a young age, as they were both mafia heirs. Well, not both, but yes, Vincenzo is a mafia heir and Jackson's father was Vincenzo's father's right-hand man, so in the process of following this tradition in the mafia world, Jackson had to take this path in order to follow this tradition. He went through this tough training and didn't have any problem with it as Vincenzo was his childhood best friend.Vincenzo nodded his head in approval and Jackson left for his hunting.

Vincenzo turned his head but saw a man who was about to stab him with a dagger in his hand.Vincenzo was fast enough to grasp his wrist and with that, he stabbed him in the stomach using that man's own dagger, who was now coughing blood through his mouth with eyes rolling Vincenzo again stabbed him using that boodly dagger in his chest making him dead on the spot.The man fell on the ground.Vincenzo looked at his other partner after killing that man and his eyes widened when he saw someone pointing the gun at his partner who was fighting while using his skilled hand.The man was ready to pull the trigger.

"Lorenzo! Watch out!"

Vincenzo quickly ran towards him and shot his rival, enemy,but was late as that man had already pulled the trigger and shot Vincenzo instead of Lorenzo, while Lorenzo turned towards him after stabbing the other one, but his eyes widened when he saw the scene infront of him.Vincenzo was about to fall on the ground but Lorenzo hurriedly held him by wrapping his hands around his stomach to stop it from bleeding where he got shot with the bullet.Blood was dripping through his stomach constantly while he was graining in agony.

"Vincenzo, we have to take you to the hospital as soon as possible."

Vincenzo shook his head in denial and pushed Lorenzo while trying to stand on his feet by himself.Mafia training is damned hard, and not to mention his stubbornness.If he wants something, then he'll go to any depth if it means to make that thing his, whether its legal or illegal doesn't matter his principal comes before and his one and only principal is to have anything he desired, he wants.

"I'm fine.No need to--"

He fell on the ground before he could complete his sentence.

"Lia, come on now, open your mouth and eat this like a good girl.In order to get well soon you have to eat healthy food."

I said, in order to feed the little girl who was sitting on the hospital bed.Lia shook her head in denial.

"No, I won't.I don't like these veggies. I have been eating it for one month.I wanna eat pizza. It's been long since I ate them."

Her mother looked at me with a worried expression.I gave a slight nod of assurance to her.

"Lia, see you're 9 yrs old now.You shouldn't trouble your mother like this. You know she loves you, right?And I promised that you'd be fully healthy like before, then a pizza treat would be from me. How about that?"
