Leonardo asked Lily nodded slowly"Thank you" Leonardo muttered engulfing Lily in a comforting bear hugHolding Lily's hand, they began to walk back towards the cottageJohn suddenly ran out of the house looking disturbed and in a hurry"What happened John?" Leonardo asked"I checked on Francesca, she is not okay, her heart rate and blood pressure is slowly decreasing" John announced"What?!!" Leonardo exclaimed as he abruptly let Lily's gor"I do not have what I need to stabilize here so I must go to the hospital and get it" John uttered"Your hospital? Isn't that too far?"

Lily asked but Leonardo ignored as he opened the door"Leonardo! Leonardo Stop!" Lily held his held stopping him from unlatching the locked door"What the hell are you doing?!" Lily asked"What the hell am I doing? My sister is dying in there and John is yet to come back, I am going out there to bring him back quickly so do not try to stop me!" "It's dangerous out there, you know the Mafia boss's men are out there for your head, you'd die if they see you!" Lily reminded"Then what am I supposed to do? Just watch my sister as she slowly dies in front of me?!!" Leonardo yelled"John will be back soon, do not risk your life by going out there""I do not

John ran out of the company, a futile effort to try and stop Jason as he already sat in the car and along with his entourage, they zoomed off at an insanely fast speedJason's word repeated again in John's head....."I do not want to do this but I am at a cross road where I have to make a choice between family and friends, since my friends seems to have disregarded me, I've decided to go with family".....Jason was told that they've been found, John wondered if "they" meant "Leonardo and Lily""No, no that can't be" John uttered as he quickly got into his car and zoomed off tooJason knows about Francesca too, he knows she is not dead, everything is so messed up right now, he must meet Leonardo, he must meet him quickly, hopefully before Jason gets to them.....The lady that drove Leonardo and Lily to hospital had already left while Leonardo continued to pace around the emergency room where Lily was being tended toMoments later, the doctor walked out of the emergency room and Leona
Chapter 78"What? What will Lily be doing at a hospital?" John asked confused as he looked at Leonardo"She... she had suddenly lost consciousness so I had to rush her to the hospital" Leonardo replied"Then how did Jason find her?" John asked"Allow me to save you the trouble and explain how things panned out, when you came to the company and you heard it being reported to me that they've been found, it wasn't the hideout that was found out, one of our mafia guys that we placed around sighted Leonardo in the hospital so we were headed for the hospital, I knew John would try to warn you or come save you guys from me so I sent some guys to the hospital to check it out while I followed John discreetly and because he was in such a hurry to come and save you and Francesca, he never noticed he was being followed" Jason narrated"So you used me!" John muttered"You presented yourself as an opportunity John, and heck yeah I took that opportunity to complete this mission" Jason smiled"Your
"What?!!! What the hell did you just do Jason?!! How could you?!!" John shreiked as Leonardo remained still on the ground in a pool of his own blood"The mission is to kill Leonardo DiCaprio and the mission has been completed, take Francesca away and never show up in front of me again, the next time I see you, you'll be meeting the same fate as Leonardo so you better pray there won't be a next time" Jason said as he turned back facing his mafia escort"Should we get the body?" One of them ask"There's no need for that" Jason said as he turned back and took a picture of Leonardo's body with his phone"He is dead already and this picture will be enough evidence for the mafia boss, I do not want to get his blood stains all over the car" Jason stated He entered his car, his escort followed suite and they all drove offHis escort drove back to the company while Jason's car when. straight to the mafia boss's mansion to make a reportJason walked into the mansion along with two of the mafia
Lily opened her eyes and the first face she saw beside her was AnnaAnna? How can Anna be here?

John and Jason walked into Leonardo's VIP room John rushed to Leonardo's bedside"Look at me Leonardo, can you see me clearly? How are you feeling?"
