*Gunshots*

Stay behind me. No one will leave this building alive ~ not under my watch.

I, Kian Zaiden Moretti, son of Alpha Moretti promise to send you all to your early graves. I will make you regret ever laying your hands on her. You stinking wrench!!!!!

*Firing continues*

The firing went on for quite a long time even the soldiers present had to seek shelter to avoid being hit. Their boss, Kian was in a fit of rage, only thing in his mind was to kill those wretched perpetrators who caused his wife's accident.

'KIAN! KIAN!!' His best friend, and also a Capo, Kai William called out to him.

'Knock out of this! Emory is fine' He added.

At the mention of her name, he dropped the gun in his hand and turned to look at his friend who stood at the entrance of the door, screaming his lungs out.

He began to walk towards him getting excited that his wife was alright. So excited to see her that he forgot he was in a middle of fighting.

Another gunshot was heard.....

But this time, Kian was the victim. He got himself hit. The soldiers in hiding came out when they realised what had happened.

'HOW DARE YOU!' One soldier said while picking up the rifle on the ground. He added, 'you've already signed your death warrant'. His other colleagues began firing at them until no one had the strength to fire back.

Kian made a phone call to Mr Moretti, Kian's dad to inform him of the situation.

' How dare they?' Mr Moretti yelled on the phone, his rage flaring up. Whose men were those? He added.

'Mr Columbo's men.' Kai answered directly.

'Alright. I know what to do. Bring him home now. I'll meet you at home with Emory, she was just discharged.' Mr Moretti instructed.

'Yes Boss.' *hangs up*

Kai then turned to the soldiers you were trying to stop the bleeding.

'Let's get him to the car. The Boss wants us to bring him home. The doctor will be waiting for us.' He tried to carry Kian but his wounds were overbearing for him. They slowly managed to get him in the car and then drove off.

Mr Moretti also left the hospital with Emory who had just woken up and heard the news of her husband being shot. The panic in her eyes were evident and she tried so hard to stay calm, knowing desperately that he might not make it if help doesn't arrive in time. She firmly clutched her upper body while her legs were vigorously shaking, her free hand nibbled on her fingers...she was indeed nervous. The thought of not being there at the moment with her husband ate her up. Her father in-law realised that and he instantly drove at a speed of 150km/h. Quite a daring thing to do at a daring moment, personally.

Soon, they arrived home. The rate at which Emory raced to her husband's side was yet to be studied. A loving wife is always ready to risk it all for her husband.

PS: This is going to be a short novel…..there wouldn't be much cliche scenes. Enjoy 🤭.
