Two months have passed since the last threat we received from Ruiz. Every day I wait to hear something new, this silence has been going on for too long and I know that after silence something bad always comes.
I took my cell phone out of my jacket and saw that Luciano was calling me. I answered immediately.
"Luciano?" I asked but at the beginning of the conversation I heard only silence. Something was wrong.
"Luciano!?" I repeated.
"Damien... come get me. I killed Ariel." No, no and no. This shouldn't have happened.
"Where the hell are you??" I'm going crazy.
"Under the bridge, near our shopping center. Hurry up because I can't hold out much longer, I'm bleeding." When I heard the last word I quickly left my office, running towards the garage.
"Damien?" Elijah looked at me in surprise.
"Quick! Follow me." I didn't tell him to bring a gun because he had to have one with him. In the Altimari family and the mafia, it's mandatory to have a gun with you and of course have at least two more guns in your car because you never know when someone will attack you.
Driving down the road at full speed, I came to the bridge, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I parked the car and quickly got out, Elijah right behind me.
"Damien, what's going on?" He asked me.
"Lucaino is injured, he must be here somewhere by the bridge, look for him." I answered him quickly and scared because I didn't know what was waiting for us and if Luciano was okay.
I started looking for him but my cell phone rang. Hoping it was Luciano, but it was Isabella. I tried to call Luciano but nothing.
"Love, tell me?" I asked her, trying to stay calm and knowing that Luciano was wounded.
"What's going on with Luciano? Where is he? Why did he call me to apologize and forgive him for everything. Why!?" She started shouting not knowing that Luciano was hurt.
"Sorry Bella but I have to hang up, I'll call you soon." I put my phone in my pocket and started running like crazy looking for Luciano.
In the distance I saw a body that could only be his.
"ELIJAH!! COME HERE!!" I shouted and ran to Luciano. I knelt next to him but when me and Elijah came we just looked at each other in shock.
Luciano is dead.
Luciano is dead, and this is reality. This is not some nightmare.
No, Luciano..
Luciano is no longer with us. How am I going to explain this to any of the family.
"Elijah, did you find his pulse!!?" I started shouting hysterically holding Luciano's head in my lap.
"Please say you did." I don't feel anything right now except shock.
"I'm sorry Damien, but we can't help him anymore." Just not that.
"It was my job to look after everyone. How do I explain to everyone that Luciano is dead." Elijah just looked at me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"It is not your fault. Santiago and his family needs to die." Said Elijah and helped me to pick Luciano in my hands.
Three hours later.
Sitting in the living room, while the whole family gathers, knowing that Luciano has left us, staring at that sadness in everyone is what we were all afraid of. We were afraid that one of us would get hurt and unfortunately that's what happened.
