I need to track her down and finish what I started.
“Ether!” I heard a scream off in the distance echo. My eyes widen.
The bitch has ether in here?!
The place is going to go sooner rather than later… And all of us inside are going to go with it. And then I see a glimpse of something that terrifies me to the core.
Alessandro.
As one of the drapes slides to the side, I him. Fighting.
And I feel a whole new level of terror wash over me. Sure, I’d been expecting him to take over one day; but it doesn’t mean I’m ready for it. And no matter how ready I think I am, I’ll never be ready for him to be in a building that’s about to explode.
Chapter 20
Tony
Thesoundofaclick cut through the air and a man’s voice growls out behind me. When I turn around, I see it. I see Alessandro. He’s just chucked his gun, clearly out of ammo, and is running toward one of Madam Rosa’s men.
Idiot!
His fist crashes against the man’s jaw and they grapple.
He’s fighting them. Swinging, punch after punch, screaming…
His shirt is drenched in blood. Clearly, that’s not the only person he’s fought today. I cringe. I didn’t want him to get here…and now that he is, I’m not sure if I can help him. I couldn’t help myself …
I’d lost control over the years…
Turned into this…
And there’s something about his eyes, honed in on the guy he’s fighting…
The look of pure anger and hatred he has for this man he doesn’t even know…
It reminds me…of me…
I shudder to think it as I groan and push myself off the wall with a furious and storming assault to the ground. I pound the pavement with everything I have.
Neither man is wielding a gun. But they both look as deadly as it can get.
I can tell by the fury in both of their eyes, that this isn’t going to end well.
The memories of my life rush to the forefront of my mind, and they torment me. It’s all so intrusive and I can’t escape them.
I see the glint of the blade in Alessandro’s hand against the light and scream out to him. “No!” I rush through bodies and all the men grappling, between them and me, my hand extended. “Stop!”
But I’m too late…
I skid to a halt, horrified, as I watch Alessandro stab the man in the back.
“Fuck….” I choke, as Alessandro’s chest rises and falls frantically. He’s looking at the man, collapsed, unmoving. And I can see it all over his face…
He’s scared…
But then there’s another expression that cascades over his face just as quickly as he’d stabbed the man. It’s venom. All over again.
As soon as our eyes lock, I can see the malice on his face.
