I put the phone closer to my ear and wait for him to exchange in conversation.

"People have broken into the mansion, I've got your auntie but there looks like there are so many of them." He sighs and shock is instantly runs through my body. I glance out and the boat was nearly at the dock, making me worry as I had no idea what to do.

"Okay I'm on my way." I put the phone down and realise that both Dante and Bruno are staying at me.

"What was that?" Bruno asks and raises his brow.

"People have broken into the mansion, we have this shipment coming and I don't know what to do." I sigh and look at Dante and Bruno who give me a slight nod.

They both allow me to leave to go to the mansion, luckily at the back of the docks there is a motorbike, in case there is an emergency like this. I reveal its beauty and darkness and sat on the seat, the keys were in the ignition and the engine roars, I kick up any metal that needs to be removed and went on my way with the helmet on my head, providing me with extra protection.

I look at Maria and her eyes are blood-shot and full of puff as her tears roll down her cheeks, we hid in the closet until it was safe to come out, I couldn't just leave her. I glance at her and witness the pain and worry in her eyes, her hand covers her mouth to stop her from breathing heavily.

"We know you're in here." I voice says, it was manly and very deep. Maria's body jumps but I hold her back as protection, I am lucky enough to be wearing my jeans and a top but even then this whole situation may be difficult.

"Get out!" They scream not realising we were in the room, I took in a deep sigh and then Maria stares at me and slips on something below her feet, I pick her up for balance and then the closet doors fly open.

I hurdle out and push their muscular body to the ground, creating an echoing sound throughout the mansion, allowing the footsteps to run up the stairs.

"Run Maria!" I shout and then a fist connects with my jaw. I stood up with the man in dark clothing and began to throw punches at him, fortunately for me he wasn't wearing any special gear, but it was unfortunate that he was armed. I attempt to run but he picks me up and throws me against the wall, making my body break the chair behind me. I growl and grab a piece of wood that had been broken and swing it across his face, leaving the blood to spit out of his mouth.

"You son of a bitch!" He yells and another man comes into the room with a gun, he began to shoot so I duck down behind the bed, I open draws in hope to find a weapon but there was no use, there wasn't a gun, I have no idea why I didn't put one in there, this was my guest bedroom after all. I bolt up and throw the panel of wood at one of their faces, causing it to stick out and leaving them to fall onto the floor in agony.

The others ran towards me but I stab him in the neck with the knife that was hidden on the others body that was lying unconscious on the floor. He yelps out in pain causing more and more men to realise where the commotion was coming from. I sigh and try getting my breath back after the awful experience I had, I remove the knife from his neck causing his body to fall to the floor with the others.

I seize his gun and hold it tight as if it was a treasure. I hid behind the wall waiting for them to run up the stairs, their feet clap louder and louder as soon as they reach the top, I spun out from behind the wall and began to shoot. One after the other they fell down the stairs like dominos.

All four of them were on the floor, probably dead.

"Maria!" I roar and a sudden scream echo through the mansion, giving me direction to where she is, I run down the stairs but am suddenly pulled with one hand gripping onto my leg, causing my head to collide with the floor. With a grunt I turn around to shoot them in the head, leaving a bullet hole to form instantly, allowing the blood to exit out of his head.

I sigh and got up from the ground, still hearing the sudden screams occur from the kitchen. I run until a sharp pain digs into my stomach, causing the pain to become unbearable. I shoot out at all of the bodies that were laying on the floor to whom may still be alive. I sigh and grunt with the pain but run to the kitchen to witness Maria being held up with one hand around her neck, the discolouration forms on her face and worry overcomes her. I shoot at the man who had hold of her and he falls to the floor along with Maria who screams.

I run over and hold her tight, allowing her to know that I'm here.

"You okay?" I whisper and she nods into my chest, I look down and see that my white top has now become discoloured and has been painted red with my own blood, I groan but all I care about is Maria's safety.

The front door slams open and I only dread that it was more armed men, but it wasn't. It was Arianna. Her face is full of shock and instantly pales, it almost looks as if she was going to throw up.

"What the fuck happened?" Arianna questions with anger in her voice but I can't even speak, I am still surprised to what has just happened.

"Enzo saved my life." Maria says with pride, I look to her and release a smile as I witness the colouration appear back onto her face as if she had never been strangled a few moments ago, she grabs a glass of water and downed the whole glass, leaving her to feel relieved and relaxed.

Arianna ran closer to me and hugs me tight; her arms wrap around my neck as her head rests on my chest.

"Thank you for saving my aunt." She mutters, almost whispers but I can hear exactly what she's saying. She hugs tighter which causes me to grunt out in pain. She moves back and witnesses the large blood patch on my top which wasn't anyone else's blood... But mine.

"We need to clean that up." Arianna demands as she usually does and I nod, there was no arguing with this stubborn woman.

She leads me up the stairs past all of the dead bodies, and with a whisper she says "We'll clean it up in a bit." I hear a small chuckle leave her lips. We finally manage to make it to the top of the stairs and Arianna looks right to witness the other two bodies on the guest bedroom floor to where I was sleeping. She chuckles more and continues to lead me to the bathroom which was spotless compared to the other areas in the house.

"You certainly decorated the place, didn't you?" She smirks and laughs as she puts a bowl into the sink and turns on the taps, allowing the water to come out with full pressure.

"I'll have to pour alcohol on it." She adds and I nod, I know it'll cause a slight shooting pain but it's worth it.

She comes over with the water with a dry cloth as well as an alcohol bottle. She sits next to me and stares at me.

"You'll have to take your top off." I nod and slide the top off over my head, causing a slight stretching pain to my stomach.

She pours the alcohol onto my wound and places the cloth over the edges of the wound to clean it up, she uses a pair of large silver tweezers to insert it inside of my wound to take out the bullet. I grunt in pain and then she smooths my hand with her spare one.

"Nearly done." I nod and rest my head back against the window frame. The tweezers are finally removed along with the golden bullet that had been placed. She applies the cloth back onto my wound along with a bit of alcohol, I grunt again but am instantly calm down when her touch is on me.

She uses the water in the bowl to allow the cloth to soak it all up, Arianna instantly places it over my wound allowing the lukewarm water to spread over my wound, cleaning it up with no blood trace.

She gets up and places everything she had used on the bathroom counter, then opening a cupboard to be faced with a load of bandages. She walks over with a large square and places it over my wound, then keeping it down to prevent any bacteria entering my wound causing an infection. Now that would be a lot of pain.

She smooths the edges and looks up at me.

"Thank you, Mio Caro." [My dear] she looks at me and smiles.

"You have to take it easy." She demands and I nod, but I feel the sudden electricity roam through my body. I lean toward to become face to face with Arianna, leaving only a small space between us both.

"What are you doing?" She slowly mutters, almost unsure of what she is saying.

I place my hand under her chin, bringing her closer to me, causing the space between us to shrink even more, leaving the electricity to build up more intensely.

I place my lips on hers softly, causing the electric to ignite because of our touch, her hands roam to my face pulling me further in, demanding for more. Our tongues slide in to one another's mouth leaving them to fight over dominance.
