Recap:
"I think two pictures would satisfy her." He chuckles.
"Yeah, I thi—" I was cut off by a loud bang.
The car stops to a halt and the next thing I hear is gunshots.
——
AMALIA
"What's going on?" I yell, as I press my hands on my ears. The noise was too loud for my liking.
"Stay down!" Alessandro yells and takes out his gun from his holster.
He then starts shooting from the window, targeting the attackers.
The driver is long dead. It's just me and Alessandro.
Suddenly, he takes my hand and pushed my forward. He opens the car door and we step out, but stay down. He shoots again hitting other two.
"When I say run, you tun. Understood?" He orders and I nod frantically.
"But what about you?"
"I will be behind bella." He replies and my breath hitches for calling me 'bella'
It's not the time Amalia!
Almost immediately, he yells, "RUN!"
I run as fast as I could the other way. I don't think I have ever ran like this before.
I look back to see that Alessandro isn't following me. I stop and my heart beats fast.
"Alessandro!"
"Run Amalia! RUN!"
I can't leave him. I can't leave him. I kept telling myself. But if I don't leave, we both could die and his efforts to save me would have gone for nothing.
I look back for the last time, seeing him shooting those attackers. There are four of them left and they are gaining on Alessandro. I cannot leave him.
I try to ignore the fear within me and a sudden confidence spread through me.
I walk towards one of the dead bodies and take a gun. Blood is everywhere and I feel sick. I want to vomit.
Controlling myself, I lay low and walk slowly towards Alessandro.
"What are you doing?" He barks.
"Don't you dare bark at me, I am your boss." I say firmly.
"This is not the time Amalia!" He yells and goes back to shooting.
I take out the gun I took from the bloody dead body, and shoot randomly hitting one of the four.
My luck is with me today I guess.
Alessandro turns towards me with a confused look. He thought I couldn't shoot—well he's not wrong, but I am just lucky.
He shoots again and the shooting stops.
I peek a little bit to find them all dead. I sigh in relief, dropping the gun.
"I can't believe this happened." I calmly say as I look straight.
"You should have ran, what if you died?" He yells and my blood boils. STOP YELLING!
"Nothing happened see—" I point at myself, "—in perfect shape."
"It's not funny Amalia, I am the one who is supposed to protect you, not the way around."
"What would I tell Lily if you died?" I ask and he shuts up.
There's a silence before he speaks up again.
