Chapter 182 - Turo

The echo of the gunshot shattered my ears. As her body fell to the ground, my soul broke into pieces. Beverly crowed like a hawk as she danced around my father's slumped body.

Over the video feed, I saw Nico and his soldiers break in and stop Beverly from slicing Papa's throat. He was a second too late to save her. To save me.

"Turo?" Nico called.

I shook my head. Unable to open my eyes. I couldn't bring myself to look at her. See the woman I'd loved dead at my feet.

When I'd shot Callie, all I'd felt was an odd sense of loss. With Nik, I wanted the world to open and swallow me whole. I couldn't live with this.

"Tell Momma I'm sorry. I can't live without her." I put the gun to my head. Pulled the trigger.

Nothing happened but the hollow click.

"ARTURO ANGELO AMATUCCI!" Nik yelled. "Did you just try to fucking kill yourself?"
