“If you still value her as a daughter, you will let her live,” Marcello rasps, his voice as weak as the strength left in his body

Molly laughs “You think after everything you did, everything you said, I will ever forgive?” The look in her eyes changes from amusement to murderous as the smile on her face vanishes into thin air “You are all dead toinside you”

The metal is pushed farther intobehind his pupils

Suddenly, he pulls his gun away froer while it’s pointed at Frank

One shot

That’s all it takes to o limp

And for Molly to completely lose her shit

Screa his gun, but Marcello refuses to let go However, the metal is already pointed at his head, and she’s about to find the trigger and pull

I can’t let it happen

So I hold up er

BANG!

As Molly falls down to the floor, I feel nothing but relief, her body convulsing as the blood pours from her head wound

I just shot the one person I was searching for all this time

The one person I used to call Mother

The one thing she never truly was to me

I sink to the floor, and the gun drops from my hand while I stare at the scene in front of me, completely out of it Marcello sinks to the floor as well, his body firhs up blood When his eyes start to close, I snap back into action

“Marcello?” I et to him “Marcello? Wake up!”

I shake hiroan And when I pull away his shirt to check his wound, it only starts to bleed more

“Oh no,” I et hih to lift him by myself

So I scra, “Frank and Molly are dead!”

Half theso completely insane that it can’t be true

“Claudio! Ricardo!” I yell, catching their attention “Marcello needs help!”
