I wanted nothing more than to kill this mother fucker.
“You do,” I accepted. “You can kill me before I reach my own gun. But then what, Michele? You will be the one to start this war. You want Gabriele to start it so you can blame him and take his throne. Am I wrong?”
I knew I was not.
He knew I was not.
His eyes told everything. “I cannot let you go,” he murmured.
I looked at Priscilla’s hopeful eyes and tried not to smile.
I am going to save you, Love. Don’t worry.
“You can lethergo,” I said, looking at her beautiful face, drenched with ugly tears. “Just kill me instead.”
Priscilla
“No!” I cried. “No, it won’t make sense. Don’t do that,” I pleaded to Michele. Then my teary eyes found Antonio, and I mouthed, “Don’t do that.”
All of us were supposed to survive.
I could not live without him. He could not fucking do this.
I knew he had a plan. I knew all of his words were bullshit. I thought he was going to get usallout of this while he was only planning to save our child and me.
No.
I could not let him die for me.
“Shut up,” Michele pressed the gun to my head, and I started crying all over again. “Kill you? What would killing you give me?”
Antonio looked excited. No one could see it but me. He knew he could get to Michele now. He knew he could make this bargain.
“You can make it look like Priscilla killed me. My family will not believe her, and yours cannot either because Salvatore will keep her here as a prisoner until she births my baby. Without me, Salvatore cannot make a good decision. You will get your damn war.”
No.
I knew there were too many flaws in his plan. I knew it would not go like he described. However, I also knew it was going to make sense to Michele. He sucked at reading people. He believed in masks, and those masks made this plan perfect.
Michele breathed fast behind me. I could almost see his crazy smile.
“Deal,” he said with an excited voice. Antonio tried to keep a straight face, but I could see the triumph there. He was fucking happy to die because it meant I was going to live.
I hated him for it.
I knew he loved me deep down, but at this moment, I wished he didn’t. I hated him for loving me enough to sacrifice his own life. I fucking hated him.
My vision was blurry from the tears, but I was grateful. I didn’t want to see it. I didn’t want to watch him die. I could not survive it. The only thing that would keep me alive was my baby. If I was not pregnant, his death would mean my death. I would shoot myself.
I could not live in a world he didn’t exist.
I could not do it.
I felt Michele’s breath on my cheek. “Now I am going to let you go, and you are going to run away from your crime scene, little sister. You will run as I kill your husband.”
A sob escaped me. I could not run away. I could only run towards Antonio.
My heart shattered inside my chest, but then I looked at Antonio. My brilliant husband. He went crazy when I got attacked in the woods. He lost control. He was able to lose control, but he didn’t today. He didn’t so he could save me.
