Mafia's Only Daughter ✔

58. The Cost of Survival?

Sorry dear readers for the delay in the uploading of the chapter. There are still some issues with my Wattpad account that's why I am still not able to upload chapters on the internet. I have to use wifi to upload the chapter, because VPN is also not working on my phone.

I hate it when you all don't complete the Target on the chapters, yet I am uploading the chapters. I know I am not a very famous author but I also deserve some appreciation for my hard work. Vote on the chapters, it really means a lot to me.

THIRD PERSON POV:

"BOOM."

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the basement, silencing everyone.

"INZOO!" A scream pierced the heavy air, reverberating off the walls.

Isandro snapped out of his trance, his eyes darting toward his triplets. His heart stopped as he saw Inzandro collapse to the ground with a dull thud. Without wasting a second, he sprinted to his brother and sister, their cries for each other cutting through him like a knife.

"Bhai! INZOO!" Isabella sobbed, her voice breaking. "Why did he save me?"

"Because... I love... my Isha…" Inzandro rasped, each word a painful struggle. Blood seeped through his shirt, staining the floor beneath him. "B-Bhai… promise me... you’ll take… ca-care of Isha. And… you’ll not… blame her… if something… happens to me."

"Nothing will happen to you, Inzoo! And I could never blame our Isha." Isandro assured him, his voice cracking as he stroked Inzandro’s hair, trying to remain strong despite the tears pooling in his eyes.

Isandro carefully picked up his injured brother, his movements both frantic and gentle. Meanwhile, Vincenzo stepped forward and swiftly scooped Isabella into his arms. Both men moved quickly toward the exit, their faces grim with determination.

"Damn it! Catch that bastard!" Isandro roared, his command jolting the remaining Romano men out of their shock.

Snapping into action, the guards seized Mikael, the shooter. But before anyone else could lay a hand on him, Thrakos stormed forward, his face contorted with fury.

"You bloody piece of shit!" Thrakos growled, landing a bone-crushing punch on Mikael’s jaw. "You dare to touch her? You dare to torture my love? You have the audacity to hurt my Amore? I’ll show you what hell feels like!"

His rage was unstoppable as he pounded Mikael repeatedly, his fists fueled by unbridled fury.

Liam, recognizing the danger of Thrakos losing control, quickly approached with a sedative. Pinning Thrakos momentarily, he injected the sedative into his neck. Thrakos eyes fluttered shut, and his body slumped to the floor.

Mikael received the same treatment, ensuring he was incapacitated before being restrained by the guards.

"Where is Mrs. Conti and her family?" Henry demanded, his voice sharp and cold.

"They’re here with us." Anthony and Eduard replied in unison, earning chuckles from a few despite the tense atmosphere.

But their brief moment of levity faded when they realized Isabella was missing.
