Dominic's POV
"Let us go, Robert," I took another step forward, trying to block Leila, Luca, and Jocelyn from his view.
Chills ran down Robert burst out laughing. "Why would I? Since this is the moment I have always waited for."
"You are surrounded," Stefano growled, closing in. "This is over."
"I don't think so," he returned, the gun rising. The gleam in his eye had seemed to shine with spite. "You are not leaving alive."
"This isn't about them," I pressed, trying to force my point without letting my head blur. "You're only using them in your sick game."
Robert snarled, "No, Dominic. This is personal. You took something from me, and now I'll take everything from you."
I could only watch as he pulled the trigger. Pain ripped through my side, glaring white-hot. I sank to one knee, clutching my wound.
"Dominic!" Leila's scream tore through the air and ripped me from the nightmare.
