—You're an idiot, you take my wife and you think I won't go after her!

—She's a fourth-rate whore, she already sucked me off, huh.

—Don't lie, Alessio would never allow it.

—Are they bosom friends now?

—We are the perfect enemies that become friends when bastards like you make a pain in the ass.

His remaining people come out from wherever they were hiding, mine start shooting and one tries to pop a bullet in my chest but my sister is ready to protect me while I beat Alessio to death. This bastard who owes me everything, if he is the one who caused so many losses in my clan right now, he has to pay me.

From one moment to the next he throws me to the ground, Ginevra takes care of helping the others and the bastard composes himself so he can hit me. He drives his fist into my chest, I spit out saliva, and he hits me on the genitals with his knee. A constant burst of bullets burns my ears and Alessio, who was about to fracture my jaw, making a concise, strong and savage blow with his knee, falls bent on his legs.

—You pay me for this, bastard!!

Everyone is surprised to see that Alessio comes out from somewhere, I don't care about the pain in his body, I grab him by the back of his neck and nail his leg in the same way he was about to do to make him loose his jaw. One of his many dogs that pay loyalty to him comes up behind me, slams me against the wall and Alessio covers me so I can get him off of me.

He is in charge of lifting my sister, however, a group of people rush at him so that he does not reach Alessio. I let out a scream when I see that Alessio rips my pants with a knife, I fall to the ground and feel like I'm out of breath. I get dizzy in an instant from feeling the adrenaline, the pain and the blows that I have suffered in this battle. Everything falls on my body, leaving me half weak, which bothers me because I don't see her anywhere.

—I enjoyed raping her so much, you bastard —Alessio gathers strength to be able to crawl on the ground, climbs on my body and puts the knife on my body—. And look, your fucking little sister with an injured hand, Domenico being held down by my people, Leone on the stairs feeling like he's falling down them every time one of my men hits him and makes him retreat. And your faithful savior beating the ball of men that is on top of him; There is no one bastard, this is your moment because not only is the Crown mine, the 'Ndrangheta will be too.

He runs the knife across my cheek, making a slight cut, the blood from his mouth covers my face and I can't find anything to hold on to because my body completely shut down from one second to the next. I have not rested, I have not slept well, I have not eaten well, I live off of alcohol and cigarettes because of the worry that overwhelmed me about my wife's state of health.

I have no more strength, his fingers are closing on my neck, there are screams, bullets, deaths and many other things of which I am not aware. He raises the knife in the air, his orbs turn dark due to the thirst for revenge and the desperation of becoming king of two mafias at the same time.

I hear some of them break away to get to me, I hold the arm of the bastard who wants to kill me, he exerts pressure and my muscles tense when it comes to avoiding the blow. However, a shining blade pierces his throat, the knife falls from his fingers, I take it in my hand and see the dark hair protruding from the bending body. Alessio coughs blood, I hold the knife over his mouth to make it pierce him to the back of his neck.

I push away the bastard who won't stop bleeding blood, Emily is before my eyes with a shirt that isn't hers and barefoot. She doesn't look good, she's obviously tired and Alessio finishes off all the bastards by untying my brothers who are also protecting him. I jump on my feet to take her into my arms, her body is exhausted because she was supposed to be resting at home so her body could repair itself.

I take her in my arms when her knees weaken, the smell of blood and gunpowder ultimately disgusts her because she puts her hand to her mouth and I have to lie down on my knees to be able to hold her.

—It's okay, nothing happens.

-Have...

-Do it.

I turn him around, grab his hair, and let him empty his stomach onto the floor. I draw her back into my arms to caress her bruised and colorless face, her eyes become heavy and I notice how the entire bard stops in an instant. When I look over my shoulder there are a pile of bodies, Alessio approaches to unload the entire magazine of bullets into Alessio's head. It jumps upon each impact and then remains static without returning to life.

—Mauricio, bring the service people, let them help with this shit.

-Yes my lord.

My brothers join me, I carry my wife in my arms who has dry and slightly stained lips. With a handkerchief my sister cleans them, I detail her swollen hand with that intense red color.

—Guillermo, take her to the truck.

-As you order.

I hold my wife in my arms, my whole body hurts, but Alessio puts his hand against my shoulder and drops the machine gun on the ground. We both looked at the individual on the ground, I had killed many people on his side and they had killed many of mine.

—For me the war should have ended a long time ago, my family has been screwing not only yours for years, it has been screwing me because I know that my father was the one who gave yours the idea to kill my sisters —tense. the jaw-. Dante and Massimo were from the same trunk, cut by the same axe, which indicates that they were always plotting to be able to screw us and create this false illusion of enemies. I didn't have much to do with the deaths, I just killed one or another whore you were hanging out with, but this shit is over for me.

"For us too," I murmur tiredly. This shit is over for me, not only did you help my wife who killed your bastard cousin, you kept her whole because I know that that idiot didn't even touch her.

—I wasn't going to allow it, Emily has been protected by me since they brought her to Apulia.

"It's something I have to thank you for," I exhale weakly. Since the first meeting I hoped to get you out of this place because we knew you were having a hard time, now all we have to do is sign the peace because I won't continue chasing your tail, I have important things to do - I extend my hand towards him -. I will give you people, I will give you weapons so that you can raise this again in your own way. You will have me as a partner or whatever the hell you want, but I will never again mess with your family and you with mine.
