Pain radiates in my chest. It won’t just hurt her, it will kill her. She’s risked herself for months to protect her sister.
Maria stands, and one of her men hands her a silver handgun. She presses it against my temple.
I look her dead in the eye, “Do you honestly believe I fear death, Maria?”
Her lips creep up into a smile and she bites down on her lip “Oh, don’t worry, you aren’t going until you watch Rosa die in front of your eyes. In the meantime, I am going to break you to within an inch of your life for the embarrassment you’ve brought to me. You ruined everything for me, Luca. All because you couldn’t keep your dick out of that little slut.”
I scream out in pain as she grabs a hold of my crotch. Her nails dig into my shaft and she squeezes. My whole body erupts in pain, and I can barely see through the stars that cloud my vision.
She twists, and I gasp for air, tears pooling in my eyes. I go limp when she releases her grip. “I hear Frankie cut off my brother’s dick. I might have to do the same to you later.”
She stands back, her attention now on Eva, who is wavering weakly beside her. She aims her gun at Eva’s head.
Eva tries to hold her hands up, which are handcuffed at her waist. “M-maria, please don’t. I can help you. I can take you to Rosa. I know I can.”
“Don’t you fucking dare, Eva,” I spit out.
Anger replaces my pain. How dare she? “After everything your sister has endured to protect you, this is how you repay her? Keep your mouth shut.”
Eva can’t look at me. “I can. Rosa always looks out for me. Dante told me she almost found me herself. If you let me call her, she will come.”
“Eva, think about what you’re doing. Rosa is your sister. She loves you. She would never do that to you. Don’t do this.” I try to keep my tone soft, not to startle her.
Inside, I want to kill her myself. I don’t care if she’s Rosa’s sister. She’s putting my girl at risk, she dies.
Maria winks at me. “Looks like you gave yourself a few minutes to prove your worth, little Eva.”
I pull against the wall holding my wrists. “Eva, please don’t do this to her. ”
She hands Eva a phone. “Time to speak to big sis.”
I close my eyes. Rosa only has one phone on her, but I don’t know which one it is. I hope to god, it’s not the number Eva has.
My heart almost beats out of its chest as the call dials on the speaker. I want to throw up. I know Rosa will come running; I just hope my men don’t let her.
“Eva.” Rosa’s soft voice comes through the speaker. As I go to scream at her to hang up, a hand clamps over my mouth. The more I struggle, the tighter it gets. I can’t breathe. I try to fight him off. I have to stop her.
“Rosa, they’re letting me go, but I need you to pick me up, alone. Can you do that for me?”
“Are you okay, Eva? I’ve been so worried about you. I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you. I tried so hard, I’ll explain everything later. We never gave up on you.” Rosa’s panic comes through and my heart breaks.
Eva looks up at Maria, who nudges her to carry on.
“I’m okay.”
“Oh, thank god.”
“So, can you come?” Eva shifts nervously.
“I’ll need to slip out somehow, but yeah, I’ll be there.”
“I’ll text you the address. Thank you, Rosa.”
“I love you, Eva.”
The hand is removed from my mouth, and I suck in a lungful of air.
“Well, thank you. You’re no use to me now, though.”
