The Diavolo's Heir

Pretty Face

Before I started this chapter, I wanted to make some things clear. This story is a love triangle between two brothers and Arabella. They are not meant to like each other the first chapters!! It's a slow romance, which means IT'S SLOW! If you don't like it, then simply don't read it.

I took a deep breath and put the gun back up to the man on the roof.

FOR FUCKS SAKE ARABELLA TAKE THE DAMN SHOT!

I was shaking. I couldn't hear my moms words. My fingers became heavy and the gun wasn't as light as I remembered.

Hey, hey? Look at me.

I grabbed her face and held my hand out for her to put the gun. She took a deep breath, handing me the gun and getting out of the way. I got into position, aimed the gun at the man's head, and pulled the trigger.

C'mon, Cara Bonita. (Pretty Face)

He called me something in another language. I was guessing it was Spanish. I grabbed the gun, and we ran out of the building together.

Yo, step the fuck away from my sister.

Vance came up to the green eyed man and pointed his gun at him.

Vance? It's okay. He saved me from getting shot.

I looked around and saw countless dead bodies. Our men and some guys that were meeting.

Arabella e Vance andiamocene prima che arrivino I poliziotti. ORA!! (Arabella and Vance let's go before the police gets here)

We followed my pa into the cars and took off.

Bella, your mom wants you in the maintenance room. Vance, get Carlo and Astra. We need to call Kloah and sort some shit out.

I went up to the maintenance room and placed my gun on the table. Ma? You wanted me.

Why did you hesitate? You knew the guy was waiting to get a clear shot of Vance. Yet you hesitated?

Ma, I'm sorry. But you and I both know I don't want to be a part of this lifestyle. Why can't I have a normal life? I've been hidden my whole life, and the second I finally see light besides the garden outside or the pool in the backyard, people want to have a shoot out?

Do you think Lorenz had a choice? Because he never did.

That doesn't mean he didn't want one! You can't say that. You don't know what goes through that old man's mind.

THAT old man is your grandfather. Watch the way you speak about him.

But you know it's true. I know you do. Vance is alive, though, right? So it shouldn't matter if I hesitated. He's here right now. That's all that matters.

You won't hesitate again. And it should matter considering YOU did not shoot the man. Leave. ORA! (NOW)

I stormed out the room and ran into my bedroom, slamming the door behind me. I went into my bathroom and pressed my head against the mirror.

Yo, come here. I want a word with you.

I found the man I saw Bella with and asked him to sit down with me. I poured some Amaro. (Alcohol) I handed a glass to the guy, and we started talking.
