Page 48 of My best friends little sister

I stand there in shock, turning to Mateo who looks like hes just seen a ghost. I look at angelica and the fear on her face is enough to replace my shock with pure anger. I look back up at their father, a disgusting grin plastered on his face.

He runs his hand up the front of her body.

I watch as angel squirms under him trying desperately to get out of his hold.

''The deal was that in order to pay off his debts, he would give me this pretty little thing to do with as I please.

Marriage or just to use as a little toy'' he says as he grazes his face up her neck.

Deep breaths Dante. Deep breaths. Stay calm. Dont kill him yet

Enzo laughs menacingly as he grabs angelica. ''Maybe we could give them a little show hm? Like old times?'' he says into her ear. She cringes and a sob breaks out as she shakes her head frantically.

Theres still videos, probably many copies. Every single one of them will be erased and i will make sure of it.

Mateo shoots, gunning down Giovanni by shooting him in the leg. I grab my gun and instinctively lunge towards angelica who's sat in terror on the floor.

I guide angel through the building, checking every possible corner. We make it almost to the exit when suddenly a figure appears in front of us. Enzo

Gun firmly pointed at us, blood pours out of his shoulder indicating he was shot. Hes breathing heavy, his hand slightly shaky. ''Its over Enzo. Drop your fucking gun'' he doesnt budge.

BANG

I expect to feel something. Anything, but I dont. I feel nothing at all. Is this what death feels like? No pain?

BANG

Another gunshot? Theres an ear piercing scream that follows it. I'm not dead? I open my eyes and take in my surroundings. Enzo is rolling around on the floor with a gunshot wound to the leg.

I see Ivan and Mateo beside me, trying to get my attention but its muffled. I cant hear anything. I feel frozen in place. Mateo collapses to the floor, breaking out into gut wrenching sobs and I look down.

...no

Everything hits me at once. I snap back to reality and suddenly, I'm falling to my knees. ''ANGEL!'' I scream, pulling her limp bloodied body into my lap. ''No no no no, angel? Angel?!'' I shake her violently, trying to wake her but she doesnt.

Then I see it. a hole the size of a golf ball in her chest. Blood pouring out of it like a fountain.

I rip my shirt in half, wrapping it tightly around her chest trying desperately to keep the blood loss to a minimum.

''Youre going to be okay baby. Youre going to be fine.

Just stay with me'' I chant over and over.
