The Italian's secret Love Child

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Dante's POV

I followed the directions I had been given and it led me to an old neglected warehouse.

"Bloody hell of all the places couldn't he chose one more suitable for an infant?"

Anger filled my body as I stepped out of the car and retrieved the duffle bag from the backseat.

Walking into the warehouse the lighting was really bad and the afternoon sun was beginning to set.

I immediately see the incubator standing in the middle of the building and run towards it but found it empty.

"Is this some kind of joke!" I scream out into the empty building.

Nothing.

It's completely silent, getting frustrated I look at my watch 10 minutes left.

I take a look at my surroundings. There were few tables and pieces of metal as well as other objects lying on the floor.

"Come out you bastard!"

Sounds of hands clapping echoes through the building.

I turn in a circle trying to make out where the sound was coming from. I saw a shadow coming from above the stairway. The person walks down still clapping their hands.

"Ce I'hai fatta finalmente."

That voice sound so familiar...

"I have your money now where is my daughter."

He made his way down the stairs and when he stepped into the light it was no other than Arthur Mcqueen.

I couldn't help but to laugh at myself he looked at me as if I was going crazy.

"Something funny."

"I should have guessed that only a low life like you can be capable of doing something like kidnapping a innocent child." I spat at him.

"Keep the insults to yourself would you."

"Where's the baby I should get her back to the hospital."

He snapped his fingers and a women dressed in scrubs comes from behind the shadows. She held the baby wrapped in a blanket. I walked towards her and Arthur stopped me.

"Not so fast, first give me the money."

I threw the duffle bag at his feet he picked up one bag and looked inside it.

I swallowed the gulp in my throat. He made eye contact with me and I could feel the sweat forming againts my forehead.

"Give the child to her father."

The women gave her to me and she was so tiny in my arms. I turned around and walked to the building exit.

"Where you think you going?" Arthur screams at me.

I take a deep breath and turned towards him. When I turned to face him he had a gun pointed towards me.

I held the baby close to my chest her breathing was slow but steady. Hang on sweetheart.

"Please Arthur let me get her to a hospital. I got you the money... She's part of Rose doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"I couldn't care any less."

He walked closer to me with the gun still pointed at me. I had to do something and fast.

"Doesn't this look familiar to you?" He asked.

I closed my eyes it did.

When I had been a little boy I ran into my father's study to show him the drawing I had made of us. I walked in on Arthur sitting on top of my father strangling him.

"Get off him you monster." I shouted running towards him hitting him from behind.

He pushed me againts dad's desk. I felt helpless seeing him strangling my father.

I saw a metal object laying near the desk on the floor. I crawl to it and picked it up, it was a gun. It felt so heavy in my hand. I pointed it at him with trembling hands.

"Stay away from him!"

Arthur raised his hands in surrender.

"Don't shoot little guy, we're just fooling around."

He got up slowly and my hands were sweating I didn't know what to do.

"Dad?"

Arthur ran towards me and the gun went off.

The butler and my mother stormed into the room. My mother took the gun from my hands and the butler helped my father to his feet.

"Get this man out of my house!" My father ordered.

I've shot Arthur in the arm. The shooting lessons I've watched my father made do paid of in the end.

"I'll get you for this boy!" He spat at me when they dragged him out the room.

And today his living up to that threat.

"She's just a baby please have mercy on her."

He waved the gun in the air and turned around he placed his hands againts his head. This was my chance. I placed the baby on the floor taking my jacket off I place it underneath her.

"Perhaps I should just kill you and leave the baby to die in your arms!" He turned around and I was behind him.

"What the hell!"

I punched him in his face and he let the gun fall to the floor I kick it away.

"Now what you going to do?"

"Veronica get the baby!" He screamed.

The women from earlier ran to where the baby was.

"Bitch stay away from her." I pushed her with so much force.

She fell to the ground her head hit againts something and blood came from the back of her head.

A gun shot went off.

And sharp pain went through my leg. Shit he shot me. I fell and my knee connected really hard to the ground hard.

I screamed out in pain. I was on one knee in front of the baby. She wasn't moving. Arthur walked around me laughing. He hit me across my face with the gun. I almost lost my balance swaying towards the ground I stopped my fall with my hand.

He held the gun againts my head. It was burning againts my skin as it was still warm from the previous shot that went off.

I never got to tell Rose that I love her... I closed my eyes fearing it was my time to die.

"Daddy loves you baby." I said to the lifeless little body, tears now streaming down my face.

"Put down the gun let my son and his child go!"

We both looked to the direction of the voice. My father walked into the building with his men. Arthur was distracted and I hit him between his legs making him crumble to the ground in pain. My father's men kept him restrained and took his gun.

"The baby's over here." I shout to my father he took her into his arms.

"Get them both to the hospital now!" He ordered two of his men.

They helped me into the car and placed the baby into my arms.

"Breath... please... breath." I cried againts her tiny body.

Oh my gosh they got me in tears.... 😢
We should still find out what happened to the baby and wait for Rose to gain consciousness.
