“As a result of Donato threatened you and everybody I care about. He stated he was going to kill you all.”

“Francesca.” I shook my head. “You must have advised me both means.”

“I’m sorry.” She got here to sit down on her haunches. “I couldn’t threat it.” She threw her arms within the air. “If one thing occurred and it was my fault…Cassio, I couldn’t.”

I understood her concern, her father was a robust and merciless man who had damage her numerous occasions. He had given Francesca cause to consider him. I couldn’t blame her for attempting to guard these she beloved. For safeguarding me.

“What’s going to occur now? What about my brother?”

“What about him?” I questioned.

“He’s my father’s son.”

Sure, however he was additionally Francesca’s brother and a sufferer of the identical man who had given her a lot ache. “Marco might be secure,” I assured her. “Now prepare and pack a small bag,” I advised her. “You and Marie are leaving for the lake home.”

“What about you?” She stood and got here towards me. “Cassio, what about you?”

“I’ll meet you later, proper now I’ve to scrub this up.”

“Are you going to kill him?” I nodded.

With none regret, she stated, “Good, be sure that he suffers for what he has accomplished.”

I stood there impatiently as Francesca shortly packed a bag, shoving in all the things she may in such a brief time frame. When she was accomplished, I held her by her shoulders.

“Vince goes to take you to Marie and Vitelli’s place and from there you two are going to the lake home. No detours, no stops, do you perceive?”

She nodded, eyes overflowing with concern. I took her hand and we each headed down towards the parking zone. As soon as there, I stared at my automotive and the one which was going to take her away from me.

“I don’t wish to go away you,” she stated as she held Reggie in her arms.

“It’s important to, Principessa.”

“Promise me you’ll come again.”

I hesitated, however for her, I’d combat until the very finish. Till there was nothing left however the mud of my bones. I’d come again for her, even when the world ceased to exist.

“Promise.” And with that, I introduced her in for a kiss, and never simply any kiss—like those we had shared over these months—there have been one million phrases I needed to say to her however didn’t have the time to specific all of them. It was all my love for her.

“I’ll be ready for you,” she stated.

My coronary heart constricted within the oddest of manners, prefer it was being torn out of my chest, however made complete on the identical time.

“This isn’t goodbye,” I promised.

“I really like you,” she touched my coronary heart. “Always remember that.” Then she circled and acquired into the automotive, leaving me behind with that nagging feeling behind my thoughts that I used to be doing the flawed factor in sending her away.

The hairs on the again of my neck rose when my automotive left the storage, taking Francesca away from me. I attempted to close up the voices, however they wouldn’t let me be.

I needed to; Francesca is safer this manner.

FRANCESCA

Athick silence settled over us, there have been no phrases that may very well be stated in a second like this. Marie sat beside me, her arms tucked into her legs, whereas mine shook freely.

I had been scared earlier than, however this was one thing else solely. It wasn’t about me, this concern—it belonged to the person who owned my coronary heart. Cassio had stated he’d come again, that he’d be alright, and I believed him. The one downside was that I didn’t belief Donato.
