Chapter 24: The Sacrifice

                                    

                                          
THOMAS POV
                          
If I couldn't hear her heels piercing the ground, I wouldn't have been surprised if she was floating, the way she moved so smoothly.
                          
Her dress clinged to her body provocatively despite covering almost every inch of her.
                          
Giovanni: "Some security you got here."
                          
Thomas: "Actually, I was well aware you were here."
                          
And for the first time, she looked at me, but I'd been staring at her since she waked in. If I hadn't known her, I wouldn't have caught the little smirk she almost let out, and it almost made me forget it all and smile.
                          
Thomas: "Did you think I'd cause a scene, Gio? What did you expect to happen?"
                          
Annoyance took over his face as I tried to keep unimpressed on mine.
                          
Giovanni: "Anyway," he takes a pause, "Give it up."
                          
Thomas: "I'm not sure what you mean."
                          
And I'm not going to lie, Gio was skilled.
                          
Before I could even pull my gun out, his was pointed at me, and I could see where she got it from.
                          
In response though, some of the other leaders in the room retrieved their guns to point at Gio... But he just looks around and laughs... His men responded too.
                          
Giovanni: "Just hand over the plans, Thomas," he says with a cocky smile.
                          
Thomas: "I can't do that, Gio."
                          
Giovanni: "They're about me anyway."
                          
Thomas: "Not everything."
                          
Giovanni: "And about stuff I'd want, I suppose."
                          
Aka future plans for shipments and distribution.
                          
Russia: "That's enough."
                          
France: "I agree-"
                          
But before I can register what happened, a shot whips through the air.
                          
It was quiet, a silencer muffling what could have released a loud bang, and my eyes meet y/n's, who was focused, with her one eye squinted.
                          
The French leader had tried to shoot Gio, but before he could fully pull his trigger, y/n had retrieved her gun and shot his gun out of his hand.
                          
There was a slight pause and I saw her smirk, before she shot everyone else's guns out of their hands too, most of them too in shock to react.
                          
Although she'd been allegedly stealing from all these other leaders, this is the first time she'd deliberately shown opposition, and in front of all of us to witness.
                          
In confusion, we start to hand over what we'd been discussing and y/n, Gio, and their men have the audacity to say thank you and start to leave.
                          
France: "You're making a big mistake, y/n."
                          
Y/n: "Don't forget that I'm the reason you're even here."
                          
She put everyone here, but me, into their leadership.
                          
And that only made everyone more confused.
                          
Why was she against us?
                          
When she... Created us?
                          
But I had plan.
                          
Y/N POV
                          
As we made our way out of that little meeting, I wasn't surprised to find Thomas' men waiting for us around the corner and I couldn't contain a smile.
