Mafia Kings: Adriano: Dark Mafia Romance Series #2

It felt like an eternity…

But it probably happened in less than two seconds. While the sandy-haired man was getting into position.

I knew without a doubt that if he fired it, Adriano would die.

I couldn’t let that happen.

I couldn’t.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Our car was speeding along a ridge, a high hill above the countryside.

There weren’t any cars near us besides the Mercedes.

A metal guard rail went by in a blur to my right, the reflectors flashing in our headlights.

Beyond them was only darkness.

I wondered if that was what death would be like –

Going beyond what you could see, then into darkness.

I glanced over at Mezzasalma.

He was fixated on the rearview mirror –

And his bad eye was the one closest to me.

If I was going to do it, I had to do it now.

I had two last thoughts in my head:

Keep my parents safe, Adriano.

And…

I love you.

I reached out with my left hand and clicked the release on Mezzasalma’s seatbelt.

I heard him exclaim, “What – !”

But I had already leaned over and grabbed the steering wheel –

And I turned it as hard as I could to the right.

We hit the guardrail at eighty miles per hour.

There was a screech of metal –

A jolt –

The world turned upside down –

And then we were through…

…into the darkness.
