Dani

Luca had the timing of a shy popcorn kernel. You know those microwave popcorn pouches that twirl around for a bit in the microwave before you hear unpredictable kernels popping. That was Luca...utterly stupid. Now we have 1 man down struggling to keep alive as the Costello girl who I recalled was named Cynthia aided him...Jhai was at gun point by Lila and Luca was undoing the ropes that bounded me to the chair. Once my arms were free I quickly stretched them out before landing a punch directly at Luca's gut. The idiot deserved it. You do not just shoot people without warning you dickhead

"Ohhff what the fuck Dani?!" He groaned clutching his stomach as he received my harmful glares. I pointed towards Niccolo,who was coughing out blood, in a manner where I wanted him to explain what the fuck he was thinking. He glared back straightening his posture before scowling at me

"He tried to kill you and here you are trying to defend him again! God what is it with you being attracted to people who try to kill you. Its like you have a murderer fetish" Luca groaned turning to Niccolo with a scowl and kicking his leg. "If that were the case this bastard is going to fall head over heals for me" he smirked as he continued and he aimed the gun right at the center of Niccolo's forehead. My eyes narrowed at the weapon and Luca glared when I quickly slapped his arm away and took hold of the gun.

"Oh my god fuck you fuck you fuck you get away from him" Cynthia's shrill voice resonated throughout the room making me even more pissed than I already was. Niccolo was desperately trying to push her hands that were trying to clamp down on the gun shot wound by his torso. That is not how you do it bitch you're making it worst. I scowled at her as she continued to wail out petty noises. I've had enough.

 I've had enough

<<Cynthia>>

"Oh my god you shot my foot are you fucking insane oh my god my foot Nicco omg Nicco!" She cried out sobbing with full on tears before dramatically passing out. Oh my fucking god the bullet barely scraped her toe. What a fucking wuss. I was too distracted at scowling at Cynthia I didn't take notice of Luca grabbing the gun from my hold once more but he no longer aimed it at Niccolo who released a sigh of relief

"Oh for the love of fuck Luca that asshole saved me. The bastard you want to kill is with Lila" I groaned trying to explain to him but I don't think my words got through to Luca's thick skull as I continued to be face to face with his angry features. I glared back, two can play this game. Our intense little interaction was cut off when Lila releases an audible cough to gain our undivided attention

"Not to be rude or anything but-" we turned to her seeing that Jhai had her at gunpoint with a smirk on his face. "I'm in a predicament" Lila gulped worriedly as Jhai caressed her face with the gun. Jhai chuckled deviously as he stared sharply at both Luca and I, I glared back firmly. He had enclosed Lila using his arm to warp around her neck.

"Now...this is how things are gonna play out....you" he pointed a gun at Luca to which Luca immediately responded by doing the same to him, Jhai merely shook his head in false amusement. "I have the upper hand here Luca don't even try...by the time your bullet hits me little Lila's brains would've already blown off...Dani wouldn't want that, won't you Dani" he smirked at me. All I wanted to do was shove his face up his ass, I don't know how but I know I will.

"And where do I take part in any of this shit?" I asked as carefully tried to discretely take the balisong, which Luca had given me not too long ago, shoved in my jeans. The puny balisong is living proof that even the lousiest of things could prove to be great help....well technically it isn't living but it might as well be..it'd be that bad ass plot twist character that kills everyone and saves the day...because clearly Luca ultimately failed playing that part.

"You play a very important role...you're my bride after all" he smiled those creepy wolffish smiles that scream psycho. Wow my life should be a fucking sitcom...21 pregnant and married thrice. I cringed internally...it sounded more like a prostitute documentary rather than a Mafia biography. I played off trying to pull the balisong from my pants and proceeded to discretely pull it out by placing my hands over my hips in a manner that might suggest I was being a sass queen when in literal sense I was trying to save my bestfriend's life from a psychotic maniac that was my unofficial husband's brother. At 21 I thought I had my life sorted, I almost wished I never got my memory back...almost.

"What makes you think I'll go willingly?" I asked as I finally took hold of the tiny knife and unnoticeably shifted it to open as Jhai continued to babble on about are possible future and all that bullshit. Luca was barely holding in his annoyance as he released a series of very audible annoyed groans and scoffs at his brother's words. Same buddy...same.

"Honor...you may not be the most innocent but you are the most honorable and dignified person I know Ellie" he got that right, my father taught me that and I'll never back down on my father's teachings. What ticked me off was that he called me that stupid nickname 'Ellie' where did that even fit in a name such as Daniella. I remained calm knowing my next move would cause the commotion.

"You got that right but there's one thing you don't know about me Jhai" I smirked fiddling with knife and adjusting my hold on it so I could aim directly for the bastard's throat. Mississippis Dani count the number of Mississippis. 1...2...3..4...5...dead. In one fluid movement I threw the knife right at his fucking neck that even Luca didn't see it coming. Lila gasped in surprise giving a side glance to the knife that had missed her only a few inches short. Jhai was a spluttering mess and I chuckled..all in a days work

"I'm don't wait for perfect timing" I smirked as Lila quickly ran to me and gave me a bone crushing hug. Jesus Christ give the pregnant lady her space. The look Luca gave me made my heart flutter. I turned my back to a dying Jhai to check up on Niccolo who seemed to be doing well for person shot near his hip. I whipped out my phone that I have taken from Niccolo and dialed backup... it had began ringing when sudden pain jolted from the lower region of my back. I heard two gun shots before I collapsed. Turning to the side I saw Jhai decorated with two bullets in his temple as a blurry profile of what seemed to be Luca approached me. He was yelling out profanities that I could barely make out. Dots...dots...dots..they were everywhere..I was fighting with them but they were too many..I had to shut my eyes...just for a few seconds

"Save the baby" I mumbled before I welcomed the darkness. From darkness I was formed to darkness I will be reclaimed. I guess karma came a little late but she came packed with vengeance and damn did it hurt like a bitch. Unlike those cliche scenes where the protagonist gets shot and all she could see were lights from the hospital ceiling all I could see was darkness and I relished in it. I don't know if I'm dead...all I knew was my mind was very much alive.

"I'll do anything if you stay...please it's all I ask of you, just stay" it was his voice it was a bit inaudible almost like I was under water but I heard him...he was so far away...I was exhausted. I didn't know what to do or where to go...I was lost in my own mind. I'm sorry Luca...

 I'm sorry Luca
