Third Party POV :
SMACK!!!.
"YOU i***t!" I punch the man and see blood coming out from his nose.
It supposedly to be an easy job, shoot Vincent since it is a rare occasion where the leader of the Brancaccio has no bodyguard with him and to shoot him will be easy, but no he stupidly missed his target by shooting the woman instead.
"I'm sorry, she pushed him away when it should be him" He try to argue and make me sigh loudly "What should I do? Stop the bullet?!"
"We should hope she'll fine or boss will kill us both, you know" I reply coldly and saw him gulp scarcely, what an i***t partner I have here.
"Are.. are you going to tell him?" He asked and breath relieved when I shook my head.
"Let's just hope he won't hear this" I state and pray hard to God that what I'm talking is coming true or we won't be able to see the world anymore.
God, I just hope she survive so the boss can take her away from the Brancaccio family soon and my job is done here.
But with this mistake, how can we getting close to her without bodyguards now?
“How about Seb and Rick?” He asked and I shrug my shoulder, know nothing we can do to help them since they failed to run faster from the Genessees.
“Let just hope, they won’t tell our name” I told him who now look very pale, afraid with everything that happen.
We all know to not messed with the mafia woman especially with the Genesses, and now since they've capture two of them, I know it's only a matter of time before they'll be dead.
I hope the two of them won't say anything about us or worse the boss.
F*ck, it could worsened the situation.
Now, I need to hide before the Genesses will find and kill me too.

Vincent POV :
"Here"
I look up to see my sister, Charlotte shove a present when she arrived in the hospital and take the seat beside me in the waiting room.
Glance sarcastic to her direction like I tell her that it’s not the place to celebrated Christmas, she rolled her eyes.
"It's from Briana" She state and I quickly open it.
She prepare a present for me? and here I am just thinking about her safety and admit to be in love with her but didn't prepare anything.
When I open the wrap paper I see a note inside in front of the box.
I open it slowly and hear my sister gasped when we both see what's inside.
"She gave you Rolex?!" she state in shock and I studying it before put it back to the box and read her note.

Merry Christmas, Vin,
I always hear Charlotte and Eowyn complained about you never in time in all of the meeting and I notice that you have no watch so here a little help to make you never coming late again. Merry Christmas.
Bree

Oh God...
How can I miss someone as good as her these times?
Where my eyes these time?
The perfect woman is right beside me, why I didn't admit it sooner?
I put my head down on my hand and feel Charlotte touch my shoulder.
"You okay?" She asked and I shook my head.
"She's inside because of me" I told her without raise my head "She pushed me from their aim so it hit her instead of me"
"Oh Vin" Charlotte wrap her arms around me and cry "She's strong, don't worry"
I know my sister only trying to calm me, but guilt already hit me really bad.
It was my faults.
We both turn our head when we hear footsteps and saw our parent’s walks to our direction.
"Vincent, you okay son?" My father asked while my mother’s already wrap her arms around me and cried.
"I'm fine" I told them and quickly added "Briana save me by pushed me from their aim" My mother gasped while my father just shook his head.
"The man?" My father asked and I know he means are the people who try to hurt me and success to hurt Briana, who is like a daughter to him.
No one could alive after they dare to harm our woman.
"Benji" I answer him shortly, know exactly to not mention anything in front of the woman here. My father just nod at the same time the doctor walk out from the ER.
"Miss Gomes family?" He asked and all of us turn our head before we glide to his direction and startled him. "Oh.. I didn't know it’s your relative Mr. Brancaccio"
My father just nod his head "How is she?"
"Well..The bullet didn’t hit her vital area” We all release a relieve breathe “But..”
“Oh God, but?” Charlotte exclaim worriedly.
“Her head..”
F*CK!
I can’t hear anymore, I walk out from the room and didn’t hear his explanation more.
I hate this, I can’t breathe.
To see her hurting because of me.
Oh God, I want to kill myself for that.
I always hurt her.
With the Christmas present still in my hand, I walk to my car before kick it wheel repeatedly and hit the car until I lose my breath and slump down on the floor.
I pull out the cigarettes and start smoking while sitting on the ground like a lost man.
But when I think again, I am lost.
“Don’t punish yourself” I look up and see Rhys coming with a coffee in his hand before he shove it to me.
He sat beside me on the dirty ground in the parking area while lean to the car.
“I remember I felt the same way when your sister hurts” He speaks when I take a sip of the black coffee with no sugar, my favorite.
I nod and remember when people take Charlotte away from us and how Rhys look like crazy man that time when he try to make sure she’s okay.
I never know my time will come.
“I love him, Rhys” I finally admit it only to feel that I was too late “I am coward to always ignore this feeling, because I was scare.. then I see her with your friend and how she looks happy with him.." I pause to release a hard breathe "I guess it snap me and make me realize that I don’t want to see her with somebody else beside me” I sigh and lean my head on the car “I am stupid! coward!!”
Rhys tap my shoulder “Sometimes we indeed stupid as a man.." He state and I am ashamed of myself "but... don’t let it stop you to have her and make her happy now” He added and I look up wo see him smile which I didn’t return before leaving.
Rhys know I need time to be alone now.
I pull out my phone and dial Benjamin number.
‘Benji speaking’ He answer on the first ringing.
“Don’t kill them, Benji” I order him.
‘I know you will tell me that, your father told me that words too once, so I just tied them and play a little’ He chuckled and make me smile, Benji always know us well and how we works ‘How's our little girl?’ He asked.
“Thank God the bullet didn’t hit her vital area but the she hit her head and I guess it worsened her condition” I explain and hear him release a hard breathe.
‘Don’t worry, Vin. She’s strong’ He convince me and I realize that people around us already know that I care of her, but the only one who deny it is me. ‘You know your mother also push your father and getting shot once’ He added and I remember the old story about it.
“Yeah, I don’t know the time I’m getting saved by my woman is come” I respond wryly, hate to know I can’t protect my woman.
‘Your woman, huh? Finally you realize, Vin’
“I just hope it’s not too late” I sigh
****
After the short talk with Benji, I decide that I need to go back to see her.
But before I could reach her room I see more people outside, not only my parents bodyguards but also nurses.
What is going on?
“NOOO.. LET GO!!”
Briana?
“I DON’T KNOW YOU ALL, LET GO!! HELP!! HEELLPPP!!!”
I quickly run to her room and open the door only to see in horrid that my mother cried in my sister arms while their husband try to comfort them.
“What happen?” I said when the doctor gives Briana an injection which makes her limp and sob in weakness.
“Help.. me...” She whispered softly before close her eyes.
“WHAT THE F*CK DID YOU DO TO HER?!” I grab the doctor shirt before Rhys and my father stop me “What is going on?!!” I asked my family in confision.
“Vin” My mother grabs my elbow and makes me turns my gaze to her.
“Mother?”
She shook her head and sniffs.
“She didn’t remember us” She speaks softly and makes my eyes widened with the news.
What?
She saw my confused expression and I hear my father correct him.
“She has amnesia, son”
Oh God...
I take a step behind them after I hear the information.
No...
It means she didn’t us?
"She.."
"She didn't know anything about us or... about how we met her" My sister remark softly and it's like a brick hit me in the head.
Amnesia...
If she didn't remember about my parents... it means..
She didn't remember me too.
'Vincent... I.. I always in love .. with.. yo..u..'
It means she won't remember about what she said to me too...
She won't remember that she loves me...
