Hours later

"Mr. Cavarallo, are you awake? Can you see me?" Frantic voices hovered above me, calling, asking.

I nodded subtly, fluttering my eyes open to a sharp blinding light.

"You need to work on whatever light you're using, turn it off," I ordered, squinting my eyes to adjust to the light.

"How are you feeling now Mr Cavarallo?" The doctor asked again.

"Like I got dragged through hell and stitched back together with barbed wire," I muttered, throat dry as sandpaper. My lips cracked when I moved them, and every breath I took felt like needles pricking my lungs.

The doctor chuckled awkwardly. "That's... expected. You lost a lot of blood. We had to remove two bullets, one close to your chest, and you flatlined once. But you made it. You're lucky to be alive."

I scoffed, turning my head slightly on the pillow. “That’s debatable.”

He didn't answer that one. Just scribbled something down on his clipboard like my sarcasm was a symptom of the aftermath of being shot close to death

    Nevio's POV Next DayThe sun wasn’t up yet, but I was.The pain had a funny way of becoming one's alarm clock. Not the sharp kind, just that dull, lingering ache that made it impossible to go back to sleep.I pushed myself up slowly, my ribs still sore from the gunshot but manageable. The silence in the house was still thick, almost eerie like yesterday hadn’t ended.I shuffled down the hallway, careful with each step, expecting the living room to be empty.But it wasn’t, Aurora was still thereCurled into the single armchair, her knees tucked under her chin, arms wrapped around herself. Her head was leaning against the wall, strands of her hair stuck to her cheek, and dark circles under her eyes like she hadn’t slept at all.She looked… exhausted.Like the weight of something invisible was pressing down on her.I watched as her eyes twitched and her body jerked in her sleep.For a moment, I didn’t say anything. Just stood there, watching her chest rise and fall with slow, steady br

    Aurora's POV I swallowed hard as I stared at their faces. Battered, wounded and something akin to death.I wasn't supposed to, whether they lived or died was not supposed to be any of my concern, but from the corner of the room I stood.I could see the hurt in their eyes, and the desperate need to find whoever it was they were looking for, and from what I could gather...a sister, a lover.It was nothing but pity even if I wasn't supposed to, even if I as supposed to hate everything related to them, they were worn out, too stubborn to admit but I could see the weakness underneath the fire that burned in their eyes and maybe just maybe, after all of this, they'd let me go."The driver is here Mr Cavarallo," the doctor announced.I nodded and walked towards them, holding my hands out to support them up."I can get up myself, I don't need you acting like a guardian," He snapped."Noted," I said, quietly, pulling my hands back immediately, expression unreadable.But his feet barely stood

    Nestore's POV "I'll drive," Nevio said, shifting me from the steering."You're not in a position to drive Nevio, let me do it," I argued, but he held out his arm, blocking the steering from me."This is not the fuckin time to argue about who's fit and who's not Nestore, let me drive, and when we get to the hospital, we'll think about who's fitter,""Let's just go home, Nevio; I don't trust anyone at the hospital; anything could happen, anyone could be a threat, anyone could do anything, make attempts to kill us, because we're already weak," I tried explaining."Your worries are valid, but we would die, Nestore, if we go untreated," He said and started the car."Stop the fucking car Nevio, drive home or do no drive at all," I yelled, my guts tightening and fresh blood oozing from the gunshot wounds.He paid no heed to my words and continued driving instead, but I wasn't going to allow him.With one swift move, I reached out for the steering, haggling for the wheel.“You want to die so

    Nestore's pov "What are you doing here, Aurelia? What about the girls?" I asked, inching closer."A little slower Cavarallo, let's go down some memory lane shall we?" She said, walking closer, her hands trailing my body."Get your fucking hands off me...""This was where you killed my brother Cavarallo, remember?" She asked, her eyes glinting with hatred."I remember very well, Aurelia and all I can tell you now is that you bring the girls out, and you get to live," I warned, but there was nothing but defiance in her eyes."You're so brave, I'd have said you were gullible Cavarallo, the two Cavarallo brothers at my fingertips, anyone could shoot and you'd die in less than a second Cavarallo," "Let's go, Nestore, she's just whiling away our time; tell me, Aurelia, is this some plot to take revenge for your dead brother?" Nevio asked, cutting in front of me."Yes, and I'm glad to tell you that your arrogance has brought you to your doom," A slow clap echoed through the empty train

    Nestore's POV My phone pinged in my pocket and I reached out to bring it out to a picture.Blurry and dark, but there was the outline of a face I'd been searching for long enough."What is it? You look like you just saw a ghost," Nevio said, standing up to me.I could barely process what it was he continued saying as he walked towards me."Meet me at this location now, if you still want her alive," The message under it read."Nestore," Nevio called, shaking my shoulder. "What the hell is it?"I swallowed hard, my eyes still glued to the message.“Meet me at this location now, if you still want her alive.”Under it was a pinned location—one I recognized immediately. An abandoned train yard on the outskirts of the city. Isolated. Quiet. Dangerous.I turned the phone around and showed it to him.Nevio’s face went blank, “Is that...?”I nodded. “It’s them, I don’t know how, but they're the ones and they have them,""Think straight, Nestore, it could be bait; this picture doesn't look lik
