I sigh, fully understanding what he means.

''I get it. I have the same issue. Obviously i dont view her as a child all the time, that would be weird, but sometimes.

..sometimes she does things that are just so pure and childlike and all i can see is her little face from those pictures'' i take a deep shaky breath as the images flood through my mind.

We head downstairs to the cells and stop when we reach cell 2. ''Whats their condition looking like?'' i ask.

I see Giovanni chained up to the wall and my god is he a mess.

Theres blood splattered all over the room and he is covered in it too.

His teeth are scattered everywhere, he has many large open wounds that are clearly infected.

I feel slightly sick at the sight of him, mainly because its pretty gruesome.

Yet, i feel no remorse. No empathy, no sympathy.

I feel nothing but burning rage towards him.

His expression turns to anger and he spits blood at my face. ''Bastard! Let me go!'' he shouts, i cant help but laugh.

I kick him in the face yet again and he groans loudly.

''You knew what he did to her. You fucking saw the videos and you watched them, over and over again.

You may not have touched her but you are just as bad as he is'' i hit him hard around the face with the wrench, hearing his jaw crack loudly on impact.

I was blinded by anger that i didn't even realise i was hitting him too much, or at least too much to keep him alive. By the time i was done his head was almost crushed in, but he was alive. ''Had enough yet?'' i say through gritted teeth.

I tuck my gun in my waistband and turn to Ivan and Mateo. ''Leave him to bleed out. Let him die slowly and painfully'' they both nod and exit the room, locking it behind us.

Hes right. We torture and kill people that wrong us, or people we want information out of. Doing it to someone thats hurt you so deeply like that makes it so much more intense.

Ivan and Mateo follow without saying a word. The whole car ride is silent, the tension getting stronger once we drive Ivan home. I still dont say anything, i dont even look in Mateo's direction.

We pull up at the house and i jump out the car refusing to make any kind of eye contact with Mateo. As i walk in the house i see sully on the couch with jasper. ''Boss. Welcome home'' he greets me, pausing the tv and standing from the couch.

We exchange goodbyes and he says goodbye to Mateo before leaving. I dont say anything more, refusing to look at Mateo.

I head upstairs to my room, slowly opening the door trying not to wake angelica. Panic rushes through me when i realise the bed is empty. ''Angelica?'' i say as i walk to the bathroom, knocking on the door softly.

Once she calms down, her sobs being replaced by sniffles, i stand with her in my arms and carry her to my bed. As i gently lay her down she winces, her eyes scrunching up tight. ''Are you in pain bellissima?''(beautiful) she nods.

She hesitates for a second and goes to speak but instantly winces again as she clutches her side, ''uh l-like maybe a 7?

Or an 8'' i grab the pills and the bottle of water from her nightstand.

''Here, these are strong. They'll help'' she takes them from me instantly and swallows them, gulping down a large chunk of water.

I sigh and get in the bed beside her, gently pulling her close to me trying not to hurt her. ''Sleep mia cara'' (my darling) i whisper into her hair as she hums.

Soon enough shes fast asleep in my arms. All i can think about while shes peacefully sleeping is Mateo's words. Would it really help angel if she saw Enzo one last time? To let her feelings out?

I dont want her in danger. He will be tied and probably barely able to move. We will also be there with her but i cant shake the 'what if' feeling. What if something does go wrong and angel gets hurt? Or worse

Not to mention the fact he is in such a state. I almost threw up at the sight of Giovanni and i do this shit daily. Theres no way i would let angelica see that. I cant.

But maybe Mateo's right...maybe she needs this. Maybe this could be her first step into getting better, letting go of the old and starting new.

I dont know what to do....
