Mafia Kings: Adriano: Chapter 94
It felt like an eternity…
But it probably happened in less than two seconds. While the sandy-haired man was getting into position.
I knew without a doubt that if he fired it, Adriano would die.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
I couldn’t let that happen.
I couldn’t.
Our car was speeding along a ridge, a high hill above the countryside.
There weren’t any cars near us besides the Mercedes.
A metal guard rail went by in a blur to my right, the reflectors flashing in our headlights.
Beyond them was only darkness.
I wondered if that was what death would be like –
Going beyond what you could see, then into darkness.
I glanced over at Mezzasalma.
He was fixated on the rearview mirror –
And his bad eye was the one closest to me.
If I was going to do it, I had to do it now.
I had two last thoughts in my head:
Keep my parents safe, Adriano.
And…
I love you.
I reached out with my left hand and clicked the release on Mezzasalma’s seatbelt.
I heard him exclaim, “What – !”
But I had already leaned over and grabbed the steering wheel –
And I turned it as hard as I could to the right.
We hit the guardrail at eighty miles per hour.
There was a screech of metal –
A jolt –
The world turned upside down –
And then we were through…
…into the darkness.
