Ruthless (BOOK III) COMPLETE

CHAPTER 19

I sped over to where Haydin's event was being held. If my timing is right, she'll just be getting out of her limo. I pull up, and let valet take my car. I stood off in the crowd, waiting for her to arrive. Her car pulled up, and my jaw dropped. She looked STUNNING! And to think I was gonna just let her walk away. No chance in hell. I slowly walked up to her, holding my hand out. She looked at me, shockingly. "Sei bellissima, amore mio ." I kissed her hand, pulling her closer to me. I whispered down in her ear. "I am not a great man, but wherever you are I'm there cara mia." She looked down at her feet. I lifted her chin, and pressed my lips against her forehead. "Sono attaccato a te."

She took my hand in hers, and walked me into the event hall. It wasn't a surprise at how many people were in here. "Ladies and Gentleman, I welcome you to our 2018 Angel Summer Event." Haydin conversed amongst other models, while I stood off to the side with my brothers, and father.

"So what do we know as far as the women working behind this chick we're looking for?" My father looked around, searching for something, or rather someone. "The place is surrounded with our men, any sign of the girl, snag her without question." I looked back over at Haydin. She looked over at me and smiled a small smile. "Scusami," I stepped away from my family, and walked over to her. She set her drink down, and faced me fully. "That was quite an entrance Mr. Kennmore." I smirked at her. "I'm the world's most feared leader, I always make an exciting entrance." She shook her head. "Listen, I don't know how to say this but---,"

Next thing you know, the lights were shut off. Everyone started screaming. A screen flashed in front of us. Anger bubbled within me. It was a picture of my mother tied up, bloody.

'THE BITCH IS STILL ALIVE!'

My mother's alive? My mother is ALIVE! Gun shots rang throughout the building. "Get Haydin out of here NOW! It's an ambush!" I grabbed Haydin, and pulled her through the crowd. "Dmitry what's going on!?" I stopped and pressed her against the wall. "Do you trust me?" She looked at me, fear stricken. I stroked her cheek. "I need you to hide principessa." She looked terrified. "Now Haydin." She back up against the opening in the wall. "Well well well, if it isn't the eldest Vincenzo."

Artemi.

I bared my teeth at him. "To what do I owe thee pleasure feccia."

He smirked at me. "How about that sexy slut of yours, what's her name? Haydin? Or better yet, Petra." I pulled out my gun, and aimed it at him. "Ah ah ah, one move and not only will my men blow your brains out, but we'll make her watch us kill you in cold Italian blood."

"Dmitry!" No. I couldn't turn. I tackled Artemi to the ground, and  shot the bastard that had Haydin in the leg. I stood up, and pulled Haydin with me, while Artemi started shooting. She tried keeping up, but she was slowing down. "Come on cara mia, I need you to keep up, I need to get you out of here. "Dmitry, I-I can't---------------." She fell down to the ground. I knelt down, and assessed her. Blood poured out of her thigh. I picked her up, and ran her out of the building. FUCK! FUCK THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! I should have never gone after her, I never should have found her!

I ran over to an open taxi, and put Haydin in, pulling the driver out, and speeding off. "Dmitry, I c-can't keep my eyes open."

"Hang on Haydin, don't close your eyes cara mia."  I dodged cars, hoping to get her to Tanner in time. I looked back at her. Her eyes were shutting. "HAYDIN! OPEN YOUR EYES CARA MIA!" Her breathing was shallow. I pulled up to the hospital, and hurried out of the car, carrying her in the building. "GET ME DR. TANNER NOW!" Dr Tanner came running from around the corner. "What's going on Dmitry?" He saw Haydin in my arms, and immediately checked her pulse. "We need to get her into surgery stat. She's losing a lot of blood." My heart started beating faster. "Dmitry you need to stay out here, you cannot see this." I tried to push past and follow him, but my brothers held me back. When the fuck did they get here? "Kai let me go before I blow your brains out if your fucking head!"

"You need to let him get the bullet out so he can save her!" I struggled trying to get out of his arms.

"HAYDIN!"
Haydin I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry I brought you into this.
