126- Your Alive! – Part 2
Isabella
“Thank you” I move to say softly after working up the courage to speak up. “I truly am grateful to each and every one of you for coming to my rescue.”
Lucus now smiling at me as he moves to kiss me upon my forehead. My face red with embarrassment. His voice soft as he moves to reply back to me once more.
“For you sweet girl, it was well worth the effort. Because nothing in this world would have been able to stop us from ever finding you. Ever. Your ours. Now and forever. And we’ll gladly burn every inch of this world down if it means finding you.”
Feeling my heart begin to flutter does Grant move to speak up next. “We’d also like to wish you a very Happy Birthday as well. Your officially 26 now.”
Gasping at his words do I move to look at each of them slowly. Birthday? How long was I out for? Unable to form the words that I had been wanting to ask does Tony move to leave the room briefly. Only to return a few minutes later with some dove chocolate and a gallon of French vanilla ice cream, both which were my absolute favorite.
Each of us now devouring the small treat as we move to celebrate my birthday. My heart wishing that my family was their too, but Lucus promised me that he would throw me a proper birthday once I was allowed to leave the hospital.
Having been told, that since my rescue from Antonio’s fortress, that I had spent a good 2 solid weeks within a coma. All injuries that I had sustained as well as dehydration and malnourishment, had seriously strained my body to the point where I was lucky enough to still be alive.
The doctors having to medically induce me during my first week just so they could work effortlessly repairing all of my stab wounds and other injuries I had sustained. Then once those were handled did they move to stick me on a heavy dose of antibiotics for any infections that I might have sustained as well as a blood transfusion.
I was also then told that during my rescue attempt, Grant had been grazed by a bullet. A bullet I had seen puncture his leg prior to me blacking out. The bullet hitting his artery within his leg which caused the bullet to shatter, shattering into tiny little pieces which shredded many of his main muscles and nerves. The bullet pieces giving Grant a slight limp to his leg as well as force him into using a cane to help get him around.
Alex, on the other hand, had only suffered a small bullet wound to the shoulder, but overall fine. Just told to take it easy for a while which meant he wasn’t allowed to train or lift anything heavy until he was cleared by the doctor.
While Tony on the other hand had managed to make a slow yet speedy recovery from his incident from the mall. Luckily though, he only walked away with only minor injures to his back. The bullets each missing his spine as he stayed on bed rest for several weeks due to it.
As for Lucus and Enzo, both walked away with only minor cuts and scrapes. Thankful that our men were highly skilled to be able to walk away with zero casualties which was much more than what could have been said about Antonio and his brothers men.
But when the subject of Antonio and his brothers began to rise were Lucus and the others a little more reluctant to tell me anything further. Memories of that day still flashing within my mind at what happened to him that day on the roof. Having initially fought back to get myself away from the crazy man who stood before me, did Antonio move to aim his gun straight at me. Intent to kill me when the sound of a gun had gone off. My eyes quick to search for the one to pull the trigger only to see that it was my grandfather before he finally collapsed to the ground.
My grandfather managing to shoot the gun from his hand just before he could shoot the gun straight at me. Antonio then falling off the side of the building soon after and into the fiery depths below.
Soon after that, I found myself blacking out. My body suddenly collapsing to the ground before either Lucus or any of the men could grab me. My head hitting the ground with a loud thud. Lucus quick to pick me up in bridal fashion before rushing me towards the nearest hospital for immediate medical care.
Once stabled and thoroughly inspected from head to toe was I finally able to be moved to the medical wing of our home where I then sat laying in a bed until I awoke. Lucus, Grant, Alex and Tony along with my parents each at my side constantly to make sure I was never alone.
While those who had been held prisoners by Angelo, Vincent, Lucia and Antonio were carefully set free. Tony along with Grant and Lucus each attempting to help locate the missing families to those held against their will.
Alex and Enzo working on recovering millions if not trillions of dollars of stolen goods. My eyes soon beginning to droop due to all my medications until finally I fall asleep within the bed.

Lucus
When finally seeing our Princess move to fall asleep do we each move to sigh slowly. Each of us happy to know that she would make a full recovery. And while it pains me to be the bearer of bad news, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that her grandfather had died shortly after saving her.
I guess another problem for me to solve later, but for now our dear sweet princess needed sleep. The faint sound of knocking now catching our attention. Our eyes each shifting towards the door.
Gesturing for Grant and the others to stay where they were, do I move to see who it was. My eye soon catching those of Enzo and Marco. Our second in command. Both wearing looks of concern once I move to exit the room so as not to disturb Isabella while she slept peacefully within the room.
“What? What’s the matter now?” I ask, not currently in the mood to be dealing with games.
Shifting their eyes, do both move to look at one another before turning back towards me. Enzo moving to hand me a single white rose and a single red envelope. Isabella’s name elegantly written upon the envelope as I move to open it up. My eyes scanning the card as I do. A growl now rising as I move to see what was written inside of it.
These motherfucking assholes.
The card reading as written.
“Get better soon sweetheart. We’re coming for you.”
*Author's Note: I know, only one chapter again, but I I will have more posted over the weekend as weekends just tend to work better for me. I also need to modify chapters as they limited the word count to 1300 instead of 1500. Thanks.*
