"I mean truly touching, I can feel Fernando smile shining down now" I threw open the door to see Ricky in the kitchen sipping on a glass of whisky.

I pulled out my gun and began shooting but the gun was empty.

"Gun empty from the funeral?"

¨You should carry extra bullets, never know when a shoot out may happen¨

¨I would hate to be the guy that showed up without extra bullets and is now dead because of it¨ he said with sarcasm in his voice.

"You got some nerve showing up here, I'm going to kill you," I said anger blasting on my face.

"That's no way to treat family"

"YOUR NOT FAMILY, your nothing more than a rodent that needs to be kilt"

He rolled his eyes.

"I see you're still on the dramatic side"

He placed his glass down walking around the counter as I followed from the other side.

"You killed Fernando," I said with clenched teeth.

"Okay yes and no"

"I sent a hit on you but well the hit, hit Fernando "

"That is what you call collateral damage¨

¨You tried to BLOW ME UP I lost one of my best guys because of YOU ¨

¨OH COME ON STEFANO you know I had nothing to do that.¨

¨Considering the guy who did was kilt by you and V¨

¨I see she still has a thing for knives¨

¨How is V? she is still sexy as ever¨

¨But you know who is even sexier, Iyanna, I could see why you wanted to keep her hidin¨

¨Especially on her wedding day I mean what I would do to take that dress off her perfect body and hear her yell my name¨

I tackled him into the glass table shattering it.

I climbed on top of him and punching him repeatedly in the face.

He flipped me over and I pushed him off, we both got up and stood on our feet.

He kicked me, knocking me into the balcony doors and out on the balcony.

I lose my balance nearly falling over.

fifty-three floors was a rough way down.

But Ricky grabbed me throwing me on the living room floor.

¨You don't get to go that easy Stefano¨ he said as he hovered over me punching me in the face.

We got up and he grabbed me from behind.

He held me tight in a chokehold.

¨You know baby Stef, even tho I'm older you have always been stronger that's from all that training you went through early on¨

I fought to get out of his grip.

¨But that's okay because I don't plan on fighting you, I just plan on slowing you down¨ He said breathlessly in my ear.

He stabbed me in the shoulder with a needle.

¨AHHH¨ I yelled out, I felt tingles all over my body and then I felt nothing.

¨What did you do to me?¨ I yelled as he still held me under his grip.

¨Just a little something to put your body at ease, I can't have you try and kill me before the grand finally¨

¨You will die at my hands the same way your father did¨ I said as he squeezed tighter around my throat.

¨Oh Stefano, still so ambitious even when you are in no state to do so¨.

I heard the door rattle and I panicked.

Iyanna.

She was walking right into a lion's din.

He gasped.

¨Look who's home¨ he said turning us around to the door, holding a gun to my head.

Iyanna walked in her face fallen with shock.

¨IYANNA RUN" I yelled underneath Ricky's grip.

¨Not so fast, you run and I blow your husbands brain out all over this nice marble counter top¨

Concern fell across her face but soon was brushed away.

She came in and closed the door.

¨The lady of the house returns home, Mrs. Casonova, you Know I don't know what you saw here in Stefano, I always carried the looks in the family¨

¨Ricky what a surprise, I thought hiding in the shadows was more of your thing¨ She said walking around the counter.

He turned us to face her.

¨Well you know I figured I step out for the main event¨

¨Well don't bite your tongue, let's hear it¨ she said leaning on the counter locked in on him unfazed.

¨Ẅell you see your husband here can't move¨

¨Obviously, if he could you would have been dead and the mess would have been cleaned by the time I came home¨

He chuckles again.

¨I see you carry your husbands whityniss¨

¨I see you still carry your ego¨

¨I think it fits me well¨

¨For a dead man it does¨

¨Now your point being on why your here¨

¨My point being we're gonna play a little game¨

Iyanna raised an eyebrow.

¨One gun two bullets, who's going to die first¨

Iyanna rolled her eyes.

¨That game is called Russian roulette, I was hoping for something a little more orginal¨

He laughed and then turned the gun to her pulling the trigger.

¨NOOO¨ I yelled out, but the chamber was empty nothing fired out.

¨STOP, this is between me and you Ricky¨

¨You see this was between me and you, but you know me the more the marrier¨ he said holding the gun to my head shooting it off but nothing fired out.

¨One of you are going to watch the other die and I'm so hoping it's you Stefano who gets to watch Iyanna die¨ He said pointing the gun back to Iyanna but before he could pull the trigger.

Iyanna pulled a gun out from behind her and aimed it straight at Ricky.

¨Or we both can just watch you bleed out

¨Oh, what do we have here, Iyanna wants to play hero¨

¨Go ahead, pull the trigger, from the angle I'm holding Stefano your gonna shoot him before the bullet even hits me¨ Iyanna's face panicked but only in a way that I could see.

¨Do it¨ I said breathlessly shaking my head for her to pull the trigger.

¨He's right Stefano its to close, if I shoot I could end up hitting you¨

Although I couldn't see Ricky I knew his face stood with a grin knowing he had this one in his hand.

¨Well that's a Risk you're going to have to take now pull the trigger¨ Iyanna looked at me but kept her focus on Ricky.

¨Do it Iyanna, pull the trigger, It just makes my job a whole lot easier¨ he said as his finger inched closer to the trigger getting ready to pull.

¨IYANNA, DO IT NOW¨

she shot off the gun.

And with a quick swift, the bullet went by.

Ricky and I both hit the floor......
