The Lost De'Luca

Chapter Seventy Six

Antonio's pov-

As I carried Gabriella into the van, she went limp in my arms. My heart almost stopped beating as I looked down at her sickly pale face.

"Fuck Dom drive fast!" I said in panic.

Domenico looked back at us and when he saw her he froze for a second before driving like a mad man.

"It's gonna be okay bambina. You're gonna be okay" I whispered as I continued to stare at her.

"She's losing alot of blood" Alessandro pointed out and I clenched my jaw, my body was drenched in her blood but I didn't care.

"Faster Dom. Her pulse is weakening" Leo said as he placed his fingers on her neck, he had his other hand on her thigh where a nasty knife wound was.

I'm going to rip Luke to threads.

When we got to the base, Gabriella was immediately taken to the hospital wing for emergency operation.

"We helped you find your mafia princess. We shall take our leave now" Raphael said to me while motioning for his brother to come with him.

But the boy didn't move and Raphael stopped walking and looked back at his brother in confusion.

"Come on Alessio" he said but the kid still made no move to leave.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here" the kid said, his fists clenched by his sides.

"Don't take that tone with me. Get up now" Raphael said firmly and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.

"I said I'm not going. Fuckin leave if you want to" the kid snapped.

"Why do you insist on staying?. We helped, she's safe so we need to leave"  Raphael said, eyes flashing with anger.

"She's my fuckin friend and I wanna be here for her, unlike you who let business come in between you two!" The kid suddenly yelled as he pointed at me and then his brother.

I looked at Raphael when I noticed the side glance he gave me. His eyes darkened and I could tell he was about to lose his shit.

What the fuck is that look for? Oh now I know, Raphael and I used to be close friends. Heck he used to be my best friend.

We went to the same highschool, our parents were also close friends. We did everything together.

That was until he was announced as the Don of the Spanish mafia, he started withdrawing from me and I had no idea why.

So I being an idiot asked him and he said "I'm busy Antonio. Now that I'm the Don I no longer have time for things as petty as friendship so please quit bothering me".

That was the day I lost my best friend. After I got announced as Don we still kept the alliance between our mafias despite all that.

I remember how hard it was for me to call him asking for help regarding my sorella but Dom did a good job at knocking some sense into me.

*Flashback*

I was in my office, clutching my phone tightly in my hand as I struggled to press the simple call button.

Domenico walked into my office, he glanced at me and then at my phone with a raised eyebrow, an amused smile playing on his lips.

"Have you called everyone yet?" He asked with a knowing look. Of course he knew.

"All except one" I said as I tiredly rubbed my face.

"Are you seriously doing this right now? Our sister's life is in danger and here you are acting like a goddamn pussy!. What's so hard in calling him?" He snapped at me.
