CHAPTER 46: THE FLIGHT

Marco's POV

{Before the flight}

I need to get to Italy as soon as possible.

I know Nat is there and I have to do anything to make her believe that I'm in love with her so that she doesn't get back with Leo. I would absolutely hate it if something like this ever happened.

The thought of them only getting together makes me wanna puke.

I take out my phone and check the earliest possible flights for Italy.

Preferably today.

I scroll through the options and find the earliest one.

It leaves in 30 minutes.

It's the only flight leaving for Italy and I have no other option than to take that flight.

I pay for my flight and run to my bedroom and throw clothes into my suitcase.

As soon as I'm finished, I rush towards the front door, get in my car and leave.

I can feel the car zooming through the streets.

I love to drive.

If I wouldn't have been a clan leader, I would have been a racer.

But life ain't fair and I had to crush the dream along with many others.

Luca and I would race through the Italian streets and whoever would win would have to treat the other one. I miss those time terribly. I miss Luca even more. He became my light in the darkness and helped me out but he was gone before he could live. He had to be the leader but life had other plans for him. He never wanted me to be the leader and insisted that I instead race. He gave me hope.

Hope which couldn't do anything.

I shake my head to let go of those thoughts and realize that I've already reached the airport.

I park my car and get out of it.

I check my watch and see that I have exactly 5 minutes left.

I hustle through the crowd and find the boarding line.

The flight attendant checks my boarding pass which I have on my phone and pushes me inside.

Bastard.

I give him the stink eye and feel relief flooding into me as soon as I enter the plane.

That is until I see Leonardo Alfonsi as my neighbor- passenger.

===========

"Hey," I say and smirk and he just grunts in reply.

I look at the person sitting at the window.

He's sleeping peacefully.

Something I haven't done in a very very very long time.

This is my chance to end Leonardo once and for all.

Why is he even going to Italy anyway?

Does lover boy miss Nat already?

I look at him and he's got his eyes closed and his head is on the other armrest.

Is this guy for real?

I'm his mortal fucking enemy.

He seriously didn't think that even if we're on a flight I won't do anything to hurt him.

I smirk and look at the gun inside my jacket pocket.

They were in such a hurry to load the passengers that they didn't even do a security check for me.

I look sideways and ensure that no one is around. I pull the beauty out and look at Leo.

"Oh Leo, you're so dead," I whisper to him.

He looks alarmed by my whisper and looks at my gun.

My bad.

I put the gun at his forehead and notice some heads turn.

Not that I care.

He just smirks and pulls out his own.

He isn't as dumb as I thought he'd be.

This is new.

He puts his gun against my forehead.

We both stare at each other.

Some ass calls the flight attendant and she comes rushing out and screams at the sight of us pointing guns at each other.

We immediately turn our heads and get up before she does anything stupid.

I stand on the walking aisle with him facing me and put the gun in front of me and he mirrors my action.

I suddenly point my gun in a different direction and pull the trigger at the seat of the woman sitting there.

He immediately becomes distracted.

Just what I wanted.

I knew he'd fall for this.

After all, he's Mr.Nice Boy.

He rushes to help that frightened woman and I take my cue to rush to the emergency exit.

I notice the parachutes and wear one.

By this time everyone on the plane looks like they're losing their shit.

Leo looks up and his eyes meet mine.

Not a second late he rushes towards me.

I pull my trigger twice, one bullet hits the roof of the plane and the other one misses him by half an inch.

He too pulls the trigger and one of his bullets hits me in my arm.

I groan in pain and shoot once again.

Thankfully this time the bullet hits him in the leg.

He grunts in pain and falls on the airplane floor.

The pain in my arm due to the bullet spreads and I feel my vision going.

The brightness being replaced by darkness.

I too fall on the floor.

I manage to raise myself on my elbows somehow and see that Leo is just one foot away.

I look at the gun in my hand and shoot him again and this one hits his hand.

I feel satisfied as I see the blood gushing out of his hand.

It makes me feel happy in this terrible pain.

I lay down once again and see the flight attendant rushing over to me.

She looks like she's seen a ghost and I think she has.

I smile and feel a sudden emptiness inside my body.

Probably that fucking bullet.

I try to get up but the pain in my arm intensifies at that action.

I hear Leo groan.

How is he alive even after this shit?

I look at the flight attendant once more and notice that she is a beautiful nurse who rescues me.

Why am I thinking about this now?

I look at her pretty face and hope it isn't the last thing I see.
