Chapter 242

I shut my eyes, wishing for an angel to appear, and that was exactly what happened as Johnny barged through the door.

“Christian, stop!” He was out of breath as he made his way behind the glass. My eyes moved to the knife in his back pocket, wondering whether Christian and Dario, who had only been focused on Luca, had noticed the sharp object.

“Johnny?” Luca said, relieved. Christian rolled his eyes in annoyance while Dario stayed out of it. Judging by his mild reaction towards Luca and Christian’s unbothered response towards his uncle, the two must’ve made some sort of deal.

It only took Johnny one second to stand in front of his brother and he stretched his arms, protecting him. “I won’t let you do this.” He stated.

Christian tensed his hand around the

gun. “Move.”

Dario cleared his throat to speak, “Johnny-

“Move!” Christian raised his voice at Johnny, pointing his head to the door.

“No.”

“Fine, then you’ll die with your brother, Christian said, and I could tell he wasn’t bluffing. The determination in his eyes was proof of it. He would end up killing both of them if he had to.

Afraid of Enzo not being on time, I took matters into my own hands and covered Johnny the same way he had covered Luca.

“What the hell is wrong with you!” I exclaimed, tears falling from my eyes. Maybe it was the hormones, but I felt overwhelmed and responsible for the situation.

Christian lowered his gun, glaring at me with eyes filled with anger. “Serena, move.”

“No!” I shouted. “Can’t you see he’s scared?” I pointed out. “Just let him go for me.”

No matter how hard I tried getting through to him, my words did not seem to be of much help.
