-Victorias POV-

"Are you fucking happy?" I say harshly to Arman as I hold my girlfriend's limp body in my arms.

She bleeding so much.

I came here with Grio, Francisco and Alessandro.

I told them to sweep the house and kill anyone in their path, while I went to look for Arabella.

I found her, she was covered in cuts and bruises. I was scared she'd died when she wasn't moving and I shook her. Fear filled me and fear never fills me.

"I—I never meant to shoot her." Arman said as he dropped his gun to the floor in shock.

"But you did." I said as I cocked my own gun and aimed it at him.

"I never wanted to...hurt her." He said looking at her body, now on the floor.

"Capo—"

"Get her to a hospital. Now." I Raised my voice harshly to Grio.

Grio didn't respond and picked up Arabella from the floor gently and carried her away.

"Arabella..."

"You don't get to speak." I cut him off harshly. "You've shot her. What are you going to do if she's dead?" I started walking towards him as he walked back.

"I wanted to shoot you. Not her." He said.

"You're a small man. You couldn't have taken me so you go after one of 'your people' you're a very small man." I said finally reaching him, placing the muzzle of my gun on his abdomen.

"Listen, I didn't shoot you. Don't shoot me. I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. I never meant to hit her." He pleaded with me.

"So you're afraid of dying when you kill other people." I angled my gun under his chin.

"I'm sorry, don't let me die without telling her I'm sorry." He pleaded.

"You are the smallest man who ever lived." I said pressing the muzzle into him. "If she dies because of you, I'll bring you back to life over and over again just to shoot you like you shot her, all until I'm satisfied." I said.

He was going to say something but I pulled the trigger shooting him in his right lung.

He gasped and I turned around and left.

Panics filled my heart. Arabella could die. I was covered in her blood. My hands stained red.

I raced to the nearest hospital and thankfully she was there.

Alessandro and Grio stood at the doors of the ER. "She's gone inside. They've taken her to surgery." Alessandro said to me before I walked in.

He talked even more but I missed his comment and went straight to the desk on the inside. The nurses eyes widened at the amount of blood I had on me, and the splatters that crept on my face.

"I want to be there." I said to the nurse who looked at me wide eyed.

"Ma'am we need to help you, come with me." One of them came around. I moved away from her to show her I was fine.

"I'm fine. I want to see her." I raised my voice.

"Who?" She asked me.

"Arabella Wilson." I said harshly.

The nurse turned around and looked for something in a pile of papers.

"She's in surgery at the moment. I'm afraid we can't let you see her." She said softly to me.
