I feel like giving up, but I’m a Battaglia.
With hazy vision, I watch Felix reach toward us, but Enzo holds a gun up to his forehead.
This is the last straw.
I close my eyes and reach for the man’s hand, and with a swift movement, I twist his arm behind his back, causing him to release his grip on me.
I step back, my body now facing the attacker.
“You underestimate me,” I whisper before lunging forward with a roundhouse kick to his face.
The attacker falls to the ground, unconscious.
I breathe heavily, adrenaline pumping through my veins.
I look up to see Felix staring at me, a mix of shock and pride on his face.
Given the distraction I just provided, Felix manages to knock the gun out of Enzo’s hand.
What I see when I get there is something I never expected.
Felix is locked in a fierce fight with Enzo, both rolling on the ground.
Nothing could be heard but the tussling of the two men.
Antonio is helping two of the other enforcers to cuff the remaining men from the warehouse - the ones who aren’t dead, at least.
I hesitate for a moment, watching the fight, but without thinking, I run towards them, my heart pounding in my chest.
Something inside me ignites as I reach out for the attacker, pulling him off Felix’s back and slamming him to the ground.
“You mess with us. You pay the price,” I growl, my adrenaline pumping.
I have his hands behind his back, and he kneed to the ground.
Felix gets up. His eyes are full of shock and pride. He walks over to me and bends down.
“Emily,” he says, his voice low and husky. “You never cease to amaze me.”
Antonio comes and takes over.
Felix helps me up.
Before I know it, he’s pulling me towards him, his lips crashing into mine.
I respond hungrily, my hands running over his broad shoulders.
His taste is intoxicating, and I don’t want it to end.
But we’re interrupted by the sound of sirens in the distance.
We break apart and exchange a look of understanding.
“We need to get out of here,” Felix says, his voice low. “Now.”
I nod, my heart racing with fear and excitement.
Together, we run towards the car, not looking back.
