hat we want. Her father was useless to us. The boss wants the girl, so go get the little bitch." The man snarled. Terror washed me as I covered my mouth with my palm, ta

the car, and he closed the door after me. My heart kept on pounding as I watched them from inside the car. The next thing that happened made me flinch. My chasers aimed their guns at Mario and his friends, but Mario and his friends were first enough to fire their guns at my chasers. I screamed, covering my eyes and ears with my hands as they went on firing their guns. The terrible sound stopped, making me open my eyes slowly and look at them. Mario walked towards the dead chasers on the ground. I watched as he shot the dead bodies all three times, making me terrified. I thought of who Mario really is. My heart pounded at my thoughts. Are they gangsters? Mario and his friends approached the car while putting their guns in their back pockets, making me shift on the seat. His two friends entered the front seats. Mario opened the back door where I was, making me shudder as he joined me and shut the door. My entire body weakened at the fact that I just fell into the wrong hands. Mario looked at me.

"They burnt our house and came after me." I sobbed. Mario held my hand, making me look at him momentarily. He had a concerned look on his face. "I am sorry for what happened. But you are safe now. I assure you that nothing will happen to you." He said, making me look at him. "You are safe. Trust me." He assured me. My eyes moved to his friends and then back at him. "Who are you guys?" I asked. His face twitched. "Wh....why do you all have guns?" "I uh....." He paused, caressing my hair slightly. "You don't have to be scared, Evelyn. We are not going to hurt you. I could never hurt you." He said, looking into my eyes. "That is Lucas and Manuel," he said, ge
