Loving the Enemy

Chapter 37

I shot him.

He's dead.

Daishi Youlan is finally dead.

I always thought he was the mole. But finding out that he was the mastermind behind a fucked up game surprised me. I wouldn't believe that he had it in him to pull something that bad. Taking it so far. Thinking his sister would agree with his actions.

Anna's father oversaw two people the night of march, 23, 2002. Takuya and Kana Youlan. Daishi's parents.

He thought it would be the best idea to revenge Anna's father for 'killing' them by killing his heir.

So he made a deal. He sought the Japanese mafia, requesting them to kill Anna.

And why would the Japanese mafia refuse? Being second ranked in most powerful mafia is maddening. Just before the first place.

Correspondingly, they accepted.

But then came I.

Me and Anna share the first place. If they killed her, I would still be in the way. Consequently, I was their second priority mission. And just for their luck, me and Anna teamed up. An easy win to kill us when we mostly traveled together.

In the end, the Japanese failed.

But so did Daishi.

Anna only got shot in the arm, due to me shooting Daishi from behind, into the breast first. That figlio di puttana still managed to pull the trigger.

She did pass out though. I guess everything just got too much for her.

Alex is luckily still alive. The shot caused some internal bleeding, and he almost didn't make it, but Anna was pretty happy when she found out.

It's been three days and Anna hasn't come out of her room much except for when getting some snacks.

I'm really starting to get worried. She barely eats from the things I cook, and she doesn't dare to look me in the eyes.

Fuck that she barely even looks at me in the first place.

It hurts me.

I confessed my feelings to her, but she never told me she loved me back. Or whether she at all feels something, anything other than hate.

My god. If you told me 5 years ago that I would fall in love with my biggest arch nemesis, I would laugh in your face and shoot you.

I'm scared. Scared. I never felt true fear for someone else and for me.

I'm scared that Anna only used me for her own good and will use me for me admitting my love to her.

Because even if I knew she would use me, I would let her.

I fell so hard that I don't even care about my feelings anymore.

I would fall to my knees in front of her and let her do anything she wants to me or with me.

I would kill for her. Burn down the whole world if it's necessary.

I'm making breakfast for her right now, her favorite. Café latte with fette biscottate with chocolate and biscotti.

I put the plate on a tray and lift it up from the counter.

Just in that moment Enzo comes running into the kitchen, panting with a sad and desperate look on his face.

My face turns sour the moment I realize.

"They're gone. Every single one of them."

Gone.

That one word keeps replaying in my mind as I put the tray back on the kitchen counter and lean against it, head hanging low.

How could she?

Was I not enough? Just a game to her?

She used me. And I allowed it.

Because I love her. And she's mine.

I will get her back. I won't let anyone touch her before I find her.

I let my guard down. But not anymore.

My hand flies to the tray, knocking down its contents, the café latte spilling everywhere and the glass shattering on the floor.

"Send out troupes. Send them to every airport in the area. Search every safe house in this region and guard every possible way out of this city and country." Enzo nods, "Even if they did go out by night, they can't be far." I turn to look at him. He looks devastated. Sad.

Just like me.

But my anger at Anna masks any other emotion and takes over my features.

"Did they take any cars?"

He nods, "Two of our Lambo's."

I nod and dismiss him.

Oh Anna, Anna.

I will find u. And then you won't escape me again.

You will be mine forever, love me or not.

Two can play this game.

And this time, I will win.
