Chapter 147 An End to it All
'They're certainly going to regret that!', Nico thought after he had positioned himself.
He had seen Luciano's uncle slap him quite harshly.
He had positioned himself way before Luciano's men were ready to take care of business.
He simply watched the drama unfold through the sniper lens patiently.
Andreas and the rest of the men stood on standby as they waited for the right moment as well.
It was about to be a bloodbath and they were more than ready.
"Positioned?!", Andreas whispered into his mouth piece, his question directed to Nico.
"As ready as I'll ever be!", Nico said as he gulped from a portable bottle he had swiped earlier.
"You're supposed to be on standby!
Not drinking!", Andreas reminded.
"You don't have to worry about all that!
I sure can hold my own!", Nico reassured.
"Let's hope you do!"
The men watched the whole thing unfold...
Andreas couldn't believe Luigi would have the nerve to bring a toddler into their feud.
However, he knew he was greedy and wouldn't stop at Isabella.
Perhaps the most heartbreaking sight for him was learning Mia was all the things he didn't think she would be.
From all he gathered, she was in a romantic relationship with a man twice her age.
He wasn't going to let that fact mess with his head.
"Aaaannd...
Now!", Andreas whispered, giving the signal the men had been eagerly waiting on.
Nico smiled as he saw the reflection he had been waiting for.
He didn't waste time in pulling the trigger.
It took a few seconds, but it landed right where he wanted it, right in the middle of Luigi's head.
He smiled as a result of his actions.
"Split up and find the lady!", Andreas commanded as he continued to shoot at the men.
They had utilized the element of surprise, blindsiding Luigi's men.
"You good?!", Andreas asked as he approached Luciano and helped him out of the zipcuff.
"I'll be fine!
Gun!", Luciano answered as he shot a man right behind Andreas.
"Where are they?!", Luciano asked, scanning briefly for Isabella and Sofia.
"I don't know
But...!", Andreas didn't finish before a punch landed on Luciano's cheek.
Shooting the men who punched him and the men who approached him, Luciano faced Andreas.
"Just go!
We'll deal with this!
Find them!"
With that, Andreas went in search of Isabella and Sofia, unprepared for what to come next.
\~~~
Mia gritted her teeth in anger as she grabbed the gun closest to her.
"Hey!", she kicked Isabella who had crouched down as a result of the chaos that ensued.
"Move!", Mia ordered.
"Dada?", Sofia continued to call out amidst the chaos.
The familiar face was rather poignant to the child.
"And shut your damned baby up!", Mia commanded, still pointing the gun at them.
She had completely disregarded all the time they spent together in Luciano's mansion.
Isabella looked back, wondering if she'd stay longer, Luciano would find her.
"I said move it!
He's not coming back for a piece of trash like you!", Mia said out of bitterness.
"Mia please!", Isabella spoke through chapped lips.
"Don't fucking beg me!
I said move!
Come on!
You want me to kill your baby?!", Mia asked a series of questions as she got angry.
Since things had taken a turn for the worse, she quickly formulated what she thought was a great plan.
She was going to get Isabella and Sofia on the boat that was waiting by the dock.
And she was going to use them as leverage later.
First, she needed to get out of the mess!
Isabella on the other hand, seeing that Luciano wasn't coming anytime soon did as Mia wished.
She wasn't risking Sofia's life!
She wasn't willing to wait to find out.
However as she led the way, she suddenly heard a gunshot.
Isabella closed her eyes in fear as she wondered what was going on.
She wasn't feeling any pain.
"Shh!", Isabella said, trying to comfort a crying Sofia.
She did hear a wince behind her, followed by a clatter.
Something fell!
She cautiously turned to see Andreas standing with a gun in his hand.
She looked to her side and saw Mia's hand dripping with blood.
Isabella had originally thought it was her chest, but, as she winced in pain, she saw it clearly.
Andreas had shot the hand the gun was in.
Isabella quickly walked past her and Andreas, seeking after Luciano.
She truly had missed him.
"Why?!", Andreas asked from the depth of his heart.
"Why did you ever do this!?", Andreas asked more clearly.
Mia scoffed as she proceeded to answer his question.
"You would never be half the man that he was!"
"He was a fucking traitor!
Just like you are !", Andreas refuted.
She settled for the old man, to love him!
"And you ruined everything!", Mia spat, getting weak as she was losing blood fast.
"I can't believe I used to love you!", Andreas said.
Mia said nothing, but she let out a sick, twisted smile.
She enjoyed every bit of the attention.
"What was your plan taking them with you?!", Andreas asked curiously.
"Doesn't matter now!
We're all going to die anyway!", Mia said, as she picked her words one after the other.
"Just go ahead and do it!", Mia teased as she thought Andreas didn't have it in him to unalive her.
"I know you can't ...!", Mia started, but was silenced forever.
Andreas had actually taken the shot!!
There was just something about headshots...
Always a confirmed kill.
He stayed with her body for what seemed like hours.
Till the chaos died down and she completely bled out, till her body started to become pale.
Till her corpse was being cleaned up.
All the while reminiscing the memories he thought they sheyars together.
He walked out, letting the cleaners clean up the scene as he went to find Luciano.
