“Sorellina,” he whispers. My heart constricts before I even turn to him. Once I do, I follow his gaze, and I see the timer counting down: eight minutes. When I look back at him, I can see in his eyes what he’s asking me to do. “I’m not going to make it. These men shouldn’t die trying to save me.”
No.
“Dom”—my voice cracks, and I fall to my knees. I can barely get the words out—“we have time. I’m not leaving you.”
“You have to,” he says.
I shake my head. “Stop arguing with me. We’re only wasting time.” My eyes fill up with tears. “Grab him.”
They make a move toward him, but before they could touch him, he commands, “Stand down, and that’s an order.”
The men stop moving, eyes filled with confusion and fear about losing their future capo.
“Anya, go,” he pleads.
“Get the fuck out of there now, Anya!”Nico yells.
“No,” I whisper.
“We’re running out of time,” Ming says.
“Grab her and go,” Dom says to Ming.
“No, no, no,” I sob, grabbing onto this shirt. “Please, Dom. You have to come.”
“Go live your life,” he says with a soft smile.
“I can’t leave you!” I scream.
“You have to. You have a husband now, you have a family.”
“You’re my family, too!”
I can’t breathe. I grab his shirt.
“Sorellina—”
“No! Don’t say it.”
“I love you.”Goodbye.
“Please don’t make me, please,” I beg again, desperately trying to get air into my lungs.
“Sempre. I’m always with you,” he tells me and kisses the top of my head.
“Dom, no. Please, don’t do this.”
“Take her,” he says to Ming as he grabs my wrists and pries my grip from his shirt. Before I can protest, Ming grabs me and throws me over his shoulder.
“Nooooo!” I let out an ear-piercing shriek.
Blood rushes to my ears. I can’t hear anything, my throat protesting after being nearly crushed. I’m reaching out for my brother, but the distance keeps getting greater and greater. I fight as hard as I can, ignoring the pain in my shoulder from where my uncle stabbed me. It’s no use. I can’t get out of Ming’s grip. Dom is farther and farther away.
“No, no, no, no, no!” I beat into Ming’s back, crying and screaming at the top of my lungs until I have no voice left.
The air has completely been sucked out of my lungs.
