Chapter 39 We're Finally Home!

• It wasn't until the night of the final showdown that we finally managed to get the upper hand over The Syndicate.
• We were surrounded by chaos and gunfire, with both sides putting up a fierce and desperate struggle as the night wore on. In the midst of it all, Riccardo held me close, his body shielding mine from stray bullets and shrapnel as we fought side-by-side against impossible odds.
• It was at that moment that I knew just how much he truly meant to me. No matter what happened next, no matter whether we succeeded or failed, I would always be grateful for this perfect moment together for the fierce, unbreakable love that had sustained us through every hardship and trial.
