Juliet couldn't breath, here efforts to shout for help were muffled by the pillow as she dug her nails into Anthony's arms but this did not help as she started to see black spots before passing out.
Ricardo had just spoken to Larry, and they had decided Juliet would move to New York in the mean time for her safety. Ricardo ended the call and made his way back to Juliet's room. Upon entering the room he saw what was happening and quickly sprung into action. Ricardo tackled Anthony knocking him out with a single punch and at once called the hospital security and told them to call the police. Greg and Anita quickly rushed towards him when they saw Anthony being dragged away by the hospital security. Dr Chase was already checking Juliet's vitals, and confirmed that she would be alright.

Greg was already on the phone calling his head of security, asking him to bring some men to the hospital, while he tried to comfort a terrified Anita.
"We cannot leave her alone Greg. Have you told her parents yet?"
"We are staying here for the night darling, don't worry yourself first we have to move her to a more secure floor. I don't think we should tell them anything, they could become entangled in this chaos. Everyone's safety is now priority number one."
"Greg, who are these men?" Ricardo asked him as he saw a number of men standing outside Juliet's room.
"Listen Ricardo, I have numerous business ventures, but Julie only knows of my law firm..."
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Ricardo asked with a scowl on his face as he cut off Greg.
"I am the leader of a very powerful mafia called the Vipers, and no one messes with my family."

As an orphan Greg had had to toughen up or the street would tear up apart. He met Morris when he was just a teenager and the old man helped him through school. He chose to study law in order to protect himself and old man Morris. When Morris passed on, he left everything to Greg, and this included the leadership role of the Vipers, their main purpose was protecting the people, something the police couldn't properly do, and when one of their own hurt, it was a chain reaction. No one dared to fight them, for their network was vast, owning security companies and a fleet various industrial companies around the world was enough to keep them connected around the globe.
He met Juliet by accident during college, and they quickly became friends, even though they were in different departments their friendship stuck like glue on paper. She was the sister he never had, his closest family. Even when she married that prick, Anthony, he still looked out for her tough he knew Anthony was a mistake he never wanted to hurt her. Juliet had introduced Anita to him, she had also studied medicine, from then they became inseparable.

"Ricardo stared at him, and shook his hand understanding, and made a mental note to never cross this man."
"Phil, good to see you. I hope you brought your best guys, I don't want any funny business, you know she is family," Greg said sternly.
"Don't worry sir, we have this place locked up pretty well, my boys are on high alert, I have two guys scouting the area already. From what you told me we are dealing with a professional, and this guys knew what he was doing, you are both lucky Mr Andrews, that you were not shot, and that Ms Juliet is still alive, that shot takes precision, but I guess luck was on your side," Phil said.
"Thank you my friend," Greg said.
"Thank you both for looking out for her. Tomorrow we leave for my Hamptons estate, it is already being prepared for lockdown, only the best security my company has is being recoded and set up. No one will get to us there."
"Very well, we will go with you," Greg told Ricardo.
"Greg I'm feeling tired, can we rest now, it's been a long day," Anita sighed.
Ricardo watched as Greg escorted his wife to the bed that had been place in the room to accommodate them. He went back to take his seat beside Juliet, as he sat down she opened her eye, and he was captivated by her brown eyes.
"Baby are you okay?" he whispered.
"Ricardo please don't leave me," she said to him as tears rolled down her eyes. "Can you, can you hold me please, I'm afraid."
He climbed onto the bed and held her to his chest making sure to not hurt her wounds. They slept that way the rest of the evening.
