My Billionaire Ex Regrets Throwing Me to the Mafia Don novel · Chapter 13 of 32

Chapter 13: Glass

Dario's arm hit me across the chest and shoved me down into the footwell.

Glass poured over the back of my neck, fine and cold.

The car swerved hard toward the cliff side.

I heard the tires scream on the gravel shoulder.

Then two more cracks, closer together.

Something punched through the door above my head.

"Down," Dario said. "Stay down."

He was on top of me.

His whole weight pinned me to the floor mat, one hand over the back of my head.

The car lurched and stopped.

The engine was still running.

"Driver," Dario said.

No answer from the front.

"Driver!"

A groan, then a word in dialect I didn't catch.

A fourth shot hit the trunk.

Dario reached over the front seat without lifting his head.

I felt the car shift into gear.

He pushed the driver's leg off the brake with his hand, and we rolled forward.

Then he climbed.

He went over the seat in one move, dragging his driver sideways onto the passenger side.

He drove blind for the first ten meters, bent under the dashboard.

Then he sat up and floored it.

The bend fell behind us.

No more shots came.

I pulled myself up onto the seat.

The windshield was a white web with a hole in the middle the size of a coin.

Dario had punched a gap in it with his elbow so he could see the road.

"Are you hit?" he said, without looking back.

"No. I don't think so."

"Check."

I ran my hands over my arms and legs.

They came away with glass on them and nothing else.

"I'm not hit."

"Good. Hold him."

His driver was slumped against the passenger door.

His shirt was dark from the shoulder down.

I leaned over the seat and pressed both my hands on the wet place under his collarbone.

He hissed through his teeth.

"Sorry," I said. "Sorry."

"Signorina," he said. "Your dress."

"Shut up about the dress."

He laughed, and then he stopped because it hurt.

The villa gate was open before we reached it.

Someone had heard the shots from the hill.

My father's men were out on the drive with flashlights and rifles.
