—Emily, come back!!

I ran out of the house so I could immerse myself in the lonely streets of my town. I was fed up, I was upset, and for a girl of that age, feeling rejected was the worst, because I wanted to be part of that family that had raised me even though I didn't feel part of them. I wasn't a Fiore, I was just Emily.

It was also the second table dish.

The second option.

The last person in the lives of many.

And that bothered me, because I had never hurt anyone, I never intended to do it even though they made me feel bad. And I also couldn't forget the great comparisons of my father with Maxim, she was older or she was growing, she is supposedly maturing when the truth was different. There are shitty families and that is more than clear, we should not always think that every family has a good side because there are some that are completely screwed.

Not having anyone I know nearby to look at me, I let the tears flow non-stop. I don't get up to see how Lorenzo and David are doing, I know they are a few seats behind mine, I wait and wait looking out the window until there are screams and the alarm that terrifies us all. Masks come loose from their special compartment, people scream when a rear part of the plane just explodes.

The whining and screaming begin and the person who was next to me, who was an older man, can't breathe. I bring him the mask to put it on, the flight attendants run to keep everyone informed of what happened because there is no longer a way for the pilots to communicate in the cabin. The air carries several suitcases, the trunk doors fly and I hear people shouting at me.

—Sir, go back to your seat! —One of the girls shouts—. We are having a terrorist attack.

—Emily!

I get up seeing Lorenzo approaching with a gun in hand, the plane begins to lose parts because one of the emergency hatches exploded, the same ones we entered through to board this plane.

-Where is David?

Certain shots make me go under my seat, everyone screams and the air continues to drag everything it can while the entire ship loses altitude. I feel like I'm close to vomiting, we're going into a tailspin, which makes my stomach turn, the screams stun me and I get alert when I start to hear them asking for help when the air drags them out of the plane.

"Let's keep quiet, this can be easily fixed." I don't recognize the voice, I poke my head out and see that Lorenzo gets up to shoot the person speaking. Oh, Lorenzo, don't be stupid!

The shots continue, the man next to me receives a bullet, I cover my mouth and immediately afterward I see the stewardess fall to the ground with a hole in her head.

—They are finished, there is no one for support on this plane!!

—Stop hiding and face me Massimo!

What the fuck?

My nerves eat me whole, the shots continue, the plane is running out of parts and when I look out the window I realize that we are close to falling.

"Emily," Lorenzo appears on the ground with his gun in his hands. On all fours, go get David and throw them away, it's the only way to keep them from staying on the plane, it's going to explode.

—What is Massimo doing here?

—Come here, you little whore, that's why I gave up!

—There you have the answer—he reloads the gun—go away, many are falling, this is falling to pieces.

-And you?

"You know, my life is not worth the same as yours and it is not necessary because I gave my word," he says. I am her horseshoe, her barrier and I will always protect her because she is my lady, she is the queen in command of the Calabrian empire.

-Lawrence.

—Well, I'll take care of this.

I get out of my seat and crawl on the floor, I try not to scream when a bullet goes through one of the seats, Lorenzo gets up and starts shooting, he staggers, I do it too because the plane is already lost.

"Shit, run!"

-Lawrence!!
