I didn’t listen to his words. They’d fuck me up. I just reacted. I had to get Y/n out of here.
“She’s something, your whore,” he taunted. “That mouth on her.”
A wave of red filled my vision, fury feeding my rage. I wanted to tear him limb from fucking limb. Y/n’s limp body laid immobile, her eyes shut, and her once platinum blonde hair now covered in red. Like my rage.
“I was going to sink my dick into her today but you had to show up,” he seethed. “I was going to take that privileged pussy for a test drive, you fuck. Because she’s mine.”
I pulled my arm forward, then sunk a hard elbow in his ribs. Again and again. Dante yelped, the fucking coward trying to pull away. I jerked my elbow again and hit with all my force. Electricity shot through my elbow, and I relished in his yelp of pain as his ribs were crushed under the force of the impact.
“She’ll never be yours,” I spat out, his grip still too tight on my neck.
I reached into my front pocket and pulled out my switchblade. At that same time I pushed the button, I swung around my arm, then pushed the knife into his neck.
A tortured hiss left his lips and I spun around, seeing the miserable piece of shit holding his neck, attempting to stop the bleeding. If I had time, I’d heal him, only to fucking slice him again. So he’d get a taste of his own medicine.
But I had no time to waste. My reina needed me. She was hurt and my priority. So I pulled out my gun, aimed it at his forehead and pulled the trigger. Six times. So if anyone found his sorry ass, they’d know the devil had found him.
Sliding my jacket off my shoulder, I threw it around my wife’s half-naked body, then lifted her into my arms. I headed back for the staircase and found my way back the same way I arrived, Y/n’s frail body in my arms wheezing every so often.
“Stay with me, Reina,” I begged. I didn’t give a fuck how I sounded. She was all that mattered to me. She pressed her face into my chest, her body shaking.
The way out seemed a lot longer than the way in. I was eager to get us out of here. I came too far to lose her.
Nevio needed her. I fucking needed her.
We stepped out in the courtyard not a moment too soon.
Another explosion detonated, deafening me and sending rocks flying through the air.
