There she was lying in a pool of her own blood, her face drained of light and her beautiful eyes fluttering shut and her lips parted. The love of my life at her most weakest state and the fucker who did it now hiding behind a car in the driveway

"Gia go handle that fucker!" I yelled crouching down to Isabellas body, I took off my blazer and pressed it against her wound trying to stop as much blood from flowing out as possible

Gia hid the kids under the coffee table and sprung into action, although she didn't want any part of this mafia life she still knew how to kill and defend her own

I heard gunshots outside where Gia was, hopefully that motherfucker was getting what he deserved. Isabella was barely awake but her hand was clinging onto my arm and squeezing it "I'm so sorry Isabella" A tear trickled from my eye looking down on my beautiful wife "Help is coming please stay with me" I whispered putting more pressure on her wound

"I love you" She croaked and started to cough up blood. More tears fell from my eyes putting me at my most vulnerable state

"He's been taken care of" Gia says stepping into the house and looking down at Isabella "Holy shit" She murmured and put a hand on her mouth looking at the amount of blood surrounding Isabella

"Stay with me baby please" I held onto her hand and heard the noise of sirens coming our way. Gia ran outside yelling at the medics to come quickly but it was too late Isabella had already closed her eyes.

"She'll be okay" Gia held my hand as we waited in the waiting room for the doctors to give us news about Isabella

"She'll be okay" Gia held my hand as we waited in the waiting room for the doctors to give us news about Isabella

I couldn't live without her, If she dies in that room I will never forgive myself. I just wanted to hold her and kiss her, I wanted to smell her hair which smelt of roses everytime I kissed her head. I wanted a life with her I wanted to raise our child together.

A tear rolled down my cheek and onto the hospital floor, Gia grabbed my hand and squeezed it before resting her head on my shoulder "She's so strong, she'll make it" Gia whispered

"I hope so" I rasped out "Because what will I do if she doesn't?"

I was still covered in Isabellas blood, And I could still feel her touch on my arm, her small palm grabbing me hoping that I would tell her everything is okay

"Are you here for Isabella Rossi?" My head shot up to a female doctor holding a clip board and I stood up

"Is she okay? Where is she? Is my baby okay?" I asked running a hand through my hair

"I think it's best if you come with me" The doctor says and my heart shatters, that can't be good news if it were good news the doctor would've told me that she was okay right then and there

Gia and I followed the woman through a long corridor and I could hear Gia saying reassuring words to me but I wasn't quite listening. I was too busy thinking of every outcome this situation could have, what if Isabella is dead in that room along with my baby what if my baby is dead.

Thinking about it now, ever since I came into her life i've caused her nothing but pain and disappointment

she deserves so much better.

We walked into the room where Isabella is and she was hooked up to a heafty amount of wires but I could see that she was still breathing by her chest moving up and down

"The bullet only just missed her kidney which is extremely lucky" The doctor informed us "But due to the bullet hitting her stomach and the amount of blood she has lost, unfortunately the baby didn't survive" The doctors voice laced with sympathy "I'm so sorry for your loss"

My heart dropped and I sunk into a chair behind me, If only I had been more careful with her this never would've happened. If only I took care of her like a husband would she wouldn't be in this hospital and she would still be carrying our baby.

"I'll leave you guys alone with her, she should be awake soon" The doctor explained but I ran a hand over my face and another tear fell from my eye and god knows how Isabella will react to this

Gia put a hand on my shoulder "I'm so sorry fratello" She whispered "There was nothing more you could've done, Isabella is alive and you need to spend as much time as possible with her"
(Italian Translation: Brother)

"All the time i've been with her she's ended up in danger, First I slept with someone else, then she was kidnapped and tortured now she's laying in a fucking hospital bed and our baby is dead because of me not to mention our fucking father killed her mother!" I raised my voice making Gia flinch a little

"You slept with someone else?" Her eyes widened

"I was not in the right headspace" I stated thinking back all i've done is make her cry and she keeps forgiving me for it.

"You should go check on the kids, they may be shaken up" I tell her wiping away my tears with the back of my hand

"You want me to bring you some fresh clothes?" She asks and I nod and with that she presses a kiss to my cheek and closes the door behind her

I look at my wife, sleeping peacefully and she still looks so beautiful even in her worse state. I can only imagine how she's going to feel when she finds out the news

But I didn't want to be the one to tell her, I didn't want to cause her anymore pain and if I kept staying with her more trouble would come so I made the only decision I could

I wrote her a note on a napkin that said;

Isabella,
I can't let you keep forgiving me for all the shit i've done, the best decision for me to do without you getting hurt is for me to stay far away from you. You deserve someone who will treat you like the princess you are and sadly I can't be that person. The house is ready for you to stay in but I won't be accompanying you, I will always love you bambina i'm so sorry.

Marcello

And with that I kissed her forehead for the very last time and walked out the door.
