Union Of Death (Secrets of The Famiglia Part 2) novel Chapter 41

There are tipping points in life, incidents that change the course you are on. I always fought for different courses, hoping to influence a scenario that saved a bit more lives than I killed, but God must have had other plans for me because I found that the more, I wanted one thing, the less of it I had.

Keeping my family safe was one of those things, but upon Ren’s death, I dishonored my promise. Avenging him became the next course I was set on, and to bring my sibling's closure I went after it with full force, but Aliyana Capello came between me and that fate when she chose to protect her friend. I don’t blame her for making the choice, for choosing his life over our love.

I still keep the letter she left me at the Manor. I read her writing every night, hoping to try and find a small sign that she didn’t want to rip my heart out, that feeling the way she did was just her way of trying to cope. But that is not going to happen.

My phone rings and I swirl the still full glass of amber liquid in my hand as I contemplate not answering it. But I do it anyway.

“Lucca just blew up Aliyana’s house.” My glass slips from my hand as every thought, every moment of us fades.

“Is she?” I close my eyes, not wanting to know but needing it.

“No, I’m on my way there now.” Killer cuts the call and I trample over the shards of glass, rush toward my Penthouse entrance and leave. I don’t waste a second just as I don’t think about anything else, besides her smiling at me.

I get to Aliyana’s house, the gates are open. There are police everywhere, sirens, people are standing around as her screams whistle through the air. I jump out of my car looking at the house, which now is half gone, it can be rebuilt.

I see her. Long blonde hair in a tangled mess, her short form on the floor. My legs take me closer, as her cries become louder. My brother Leonardo holds her. I get closer, and that is when I see it, the girl on the floor, pregnant, dead.

It is said that death comes in three.
