Facing Reality

32)"Say ciao to the devil for me,"

This chapter contains violent scenes

Atticus POV:

I hid behind the wall, waiting for him to approach. I shot him and took his weapon when he got near enough. Someone fires at me as I flee down the corridor. The bullet grazing my arm, I didn't care about the pain now. All I cared about was protecting my family. 

I shot him, the bullet struck him in the forehead. His body slides down the stairs, and I follow. I watch Sandro, his men, and mine shoot and fight against the others. 

I saw someone approaching behind Sandro and I rush over to knock them down. My eyes widened as I tugged the small hoodie, they were wearing to hide themselves. 

“Thalia” 

~~

Alessandro POV: 

30 minutes before Thalia revealed herself... 

"Do you have love for her?" Elio, my younger brother, inquires. I turned around to face him. 

Did I love her? I'm not sure, but I know I have feelings for her. Is it, however, love? 

"I'll be honest-" The house alarm rang around the room, cutting me short. I look at Elio and pull out my gun, and he hurries up the stairs, most likely to see who was here. Because he is a skilled hacker. 

When I turned my back on the wall and looked around the corner, a bullet flew past my face. "Shit," I mutter as I move forward from behind the wall, shooting. I draw two handguns and shoot the people that come in. The first few people were struck with bullets in their cranium. As some had been shot in the chest.

I walk out, watching more people coming in. That's when I notice Lorenzo, Alfonso, and the trios assisting me in killing the invaders. "Boss behind you," Lorenzo yells, and I duck, hitting the person behind me in the face. I shoot him in the head when he collapses and then move on to the next victim. 

Attempting to stab me with a knife I grasp the closest thing to me, allowing the knife to land in it. I grasp the person's arm, flip them on their back, take the knife from within the item, pick it up, and stab them numerous times in the chest. 

I heard grunting and turned to my left to find Alfonso battling two men and one woman. 

I shoot them all, and their bodies fall like flies. After I shot the rest of the people coming at me, I realized I had run out of ammo. "Fuck," I groan out. Dropping the clip, I push the hair from my face and look at the people coming towards me to fight.

Now it's time for me to get my hands dirty. I grab the next shooter by the neck and slam them on their head. When I stomped on their face, I heard a satisfying snap. 

That's a sound I like to hear

I didn't notice the person behind me because I was too busy smiling and enjoying the sound of people's heads under my feet. I turned around after being punched in the ribcage. I punched him in the face, causing his head to turn.

He smiles as he wipes his bleeding mouth. This guy was an arrogant son of a bitch who was slightly stronger than the others. "You're quite weak for a mafia boss." 

I ignored his remark and took out my pocketknife, striking him in the stomach many times. Then I struck and kicked him in the chest, sending him to the ground, and followed his broken body. I grab his hair and tilt it towards my face "I want you to repeat that. " 

He sneers at me and says, "That's why I fucked that slut Thalia," and the anger I was working so hard to suppress resurfaces. 

"You would never disrespect her like that again, and I'll make sure of it," I say as I wrap my hands around his neck and climb on top of him. 

Grabbing the knife, I saw him try to extricate himself by grabbing my wrist. I simply shove his hands down and grin at him. "Say ciao to the devil for me," I say as I slit his neck, watching as the blood drip all over my clothes and hands. 

I get to my feet, too angry to notice the small person moving up behind me until I hear a loud thump. I spin around, prepared for anything, only to see Atticus on top of someone. 

My eyes widen as I look intently. "Thalia," both Atticus and I say. 

"That's me," she exhales.
