"You did what!?" Kathleen asked shocked.

"I shot him" I groaned running my hands through my hair before massaging my temples to relief the building migraine I was starting to have.

As I had been speeding home after I left Gio's penthouse, I had met Dominic and Marc on the way. Apparently they had gotten a call from their undercover inside man in the Cavelli's group informing them that some one of the guy had saw and taken picture of Dominic and us when he came to the store earlier. He must've went back informing Lucas of the situation. After Dominic had called telling me to get out, when the phone hang up on him he was worried and so he and Marc was coming to get me if I was in trouble.

"He was so mad" I said running my hands over my face.

"How bad was it?" Mom asked.

"I don't know I shot him in his left shoulder

"You're not staying here" Dominic said to me. "Go pack a bag with some clothes".

"What!? No, no I live here I'm not gonna go running and hiding because my boyfriend may wanna kill me now" I said to him. "Ex-boyfriend, I'm not sure I still hold that girlfriend title after everything that happened today".

"Lexi, he's right" Marc said to me, "For once just don't be stubborn and listen to him. Its for you're own good".

"I can't just pack up and left my home because of Gio" I said to them.

"This is bigger than just you and Gio. This is war between the two families and you're gonna be in the heart of it" Dad said to me. "He felt that you betrayed and lied to him and then you went ahead and shot him. He's gonna come looking for you".

"Kathleen's going with you too" Dominic said to me.

"I am?" Kathleen asked looking to him.

"Yes, you are. You're now caught up in this as well because I'm pretty sure he thinks you're somehow involved you think I'm letting you stay here and risk getting hurt?" Dominic said to her.

"He won't hurt her" I tried reassuring them.

"You don't know that!" Dominic said angrily. "You thought he wouldn't hurt you either but he fired at you didn't he? You had to shot him to get out of there!"

"He wasn't trying to hurt me, he was just trying to scare me from moving" I said to them. "I ended up being the one hurting him".

"She's still defending" Marc said in disbelief.

"I know, I know. I'm being stupid I know its just that..." I groaned.

"I don't care what you have to say. You're not staying here, you're leaving now even if I have to drag you screaming and kicking" Dominic said seriously.

"There's no need for that" I sighed. "Where are we going?"

"Out of the country" Dominic said to me.

"Fine. Whatever" I sighed. "Could I at least get five minutes to go shower and change?"

"That can wait until you reach where you're going. You don't have much time for that now" Dominic said to me.

"Trust me, it can't. I need to go wash Gio's smell and sweat off me" I said to them before turning to head upstairs.

****************************** "This place is really nice" Kathleen said to me.

"Yeah I know" I said taking off my jacket. "I haven't been here in a while. I remembered coming here a few summers back then".

" So, what exactly do we do for our time here in Italy?" Kathleen asked. "One month here, away from our own familiar territory?"

"I guess we're on a vacation so we do what people on vacation do, we try relaxing and go sight seeing" I replied.

"That's gonna be a bit of an issue" Kathleen said to me. "This is a foreign country, they speak Italian".

" Don't worry, dad's housekeeper and his driver here speaks English so we'll get around" I told her.

I sighed sitting down on the couch closing my eyes and resting my head on the back. I was exhausted even though I slept almost all the way here on the plane. After we had left my house we boarded Dominic's private jet here to Italy at Dad's mansion here. I was even started to feel stress with the happenings of the past they. Everything that happened seems so unbelievable, how did things get this messed up. Gio and I had gone from being this lovable couple to ones pointing guns at each other, me shooting him then ran away into hiding.

I couldn't help but wonder of his shoulder was okay, I honestly didn't want to shot him but he left me no choice. My mind also went to Lucas, I had hit him across the face with my gun. I'm pretty sure that Lucas may want to kill me now more than ever considering he never really liked me much from the day we met. He didn't trust me that much I knew but I couldn't blame him though. Was there any more hope or chance for Gio and I? I don't think that after everything that has happened Gio and I could ever be together again. It was like everyone else kept saying he was now my enemy as well or better yet I was his enemy now. I was starting to get a terrible migraine with all these thought.

"Uh... Lexi are you okay?" Kathleen asked sounding worried from beside me.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said to her. "Its just that me thinking about how messed up things are right now is giving me a migraine".

" You also have a nose bleed " Kathleen said worriedly as she dug into her bag passing me a paper towel.

"What!?" I said surprised taking the paper towel and wiping under my nose before looking on the now bloody paper towel. "Oh no"

"What's wrong?" Kathleen asked looking at me concerned. "That's not normal is it?"

"I think I'm back to having a post traumatic depression syndrome" I said to her pinching my nose with the paper towel.

"This has happened before?" Katherine asked.

"I used to get bad nose bleed after my parents died. They stopped after I started living with the Luciano's" I said to her. "And now it seems as if I'm starting to have them again".

Hey guys here's another update. I know that it's short but I've encountered a few issues that caused me to shortened the chapter to give it to you guys.

So here's the deal, I really don't seem to have any luck with technological devices. They all seem to get destroyed and damaged somehow, I'm honestly not even sure what went wrong. First my laptop went blank on me, then my phone,- it can't turn on and so I was writing the stories with my tablet but today right after I updated chapter 30, I saw my tablet starting to malfunction so I got scared and turned it off. I really can't keep it on less I have to experience my tablet mashing up as well. So now I have installed the wattpad app on my mom's phone logging into my profile and using it to continue writing and updating. So if I don't get to update my stories as soon as I used to or if they are shorter, please see with me for now.

Anyway please continue voting and commenting okay 😘
