Bova walked to a corner of the parking lot, at 11 p.m., no human was seen there. The dark corner was secured. There's no CCTV nobody else is gonna see what's going on in there.
"What did he say before, did he know the man was carrying a weapon?" Bova asked Luca.
"No, he doesn't know. He said he was just making a fuss. He didn't know his men were carrying guns. But I've already beaten him, sir. He wouldn't dare to fight."
Bova got to a car that was there where Luca's men were still on guard with Fernandez waiting for an hour there.
"Get him out!" Fernandez was taken out of the car. Bova looked at him furiously. His face looks swollen reddened scar beaten by Luca.
"You!" One more bogem met his target because Bova needed to vent his emotions that had been harbored.
"Master forgive me, I didn't mean to make no lover hurt."
"Open?! He almost died because of your son of a bitch!" Another blow struck his heart. Making him cough and bend his body helplessly.
"I really didn't order that Sir! Forgive me, I really don't know Miss under the protection of Mr and Mr. Luca." He doesn't know who he's dealing with. But if Luca said it was his boss then his strength was beyond doubt.
"Do not say it again. Now you have to get your men to admit who ordered you at the police station. I want to drag Gianni, you understand? If this lawyer says you don't want cooperation, you'll see what I can do with your family."
"I understand."
"Luca!"
"Yes sir."
"From tomorrow spread the news! Anyone else who dares to help Gianni bullying will accept the consequences. And you until all this is over you're under Luca's orders. You understand?!"
"I understand... I understand Sir. I'm not going against Master's orders."
"Luca, who messed up at the first restaurant."
"Morales's men Mr."
"Who's Morales?"
"Southern man Sir. There are several groups of southerners operating in Milan. Gianni has a pretty good relationship with the southerners here."
"Then I need to ask for the support of the southerners too. Gianni won't give up too easily."
"You may be right Sir, Gianni is not one who will give up on bullying quickly. They have a lot of money."
"We'll see if the money is useful this time. We're going to Morales now. Luca, take Juan and the others too. And you, don't forget, tomorrow you're dealing with Tuam Armando, don't fuck around."
"I understand Mr."
"Like our plan Armando, they're gonna have to pay for this attack dearly."
"Understand Master."
"Let's go Luca." Still wearing her work clothes, Bova went to take her man to Morales. Two of his men were beaten up this afternoon. Now he will make sure all the group no one dares to help Gianni again in Milan or they will pay the price of their courage.
He called Guilio Berutti this time, because he knew Berutti was feared and could take control of several Southern besae gangs. Once he carries the name Guilio there will be no brave southerner.
"Guilio, bro, sorry to bother you last night."
"Bovas? What was? You don't usually call at night."
"You know I'm in trouble with Gianni. He shot my lover I was protecting. I'd like to ask permission to borrow your name to stop some gangs that are Sicilian."
"Shoot?! He's been tangled up in loan sharking and has people shoot your lover? How's he doing?" Bova explained what happened.
"Of course, you can say my name. I'll tell some people in Milan tomorrow. Gianni is not an easy person to deal with. You better be careful."
"Sure, thank you Guilio." Gaining more support would be advantageous against this Gianni family. He will make him unable to move using his 3rd hand other than to face his charges in court.
They arrived at Gonzales' place in the middle of the night. Luca who was seen in his face by them was immediately greeted.
"Mr Luca? Why are you here." Luca threatened her this afternoon. Now he's come to give a clear warning to this southern gang.
"Where's your boss. I want to talk to him, right now."
"Mr Luca, you're here. What brought you here." Bova who gave the sign to Luca spoke.
"Your men caused trouble at my place this afternoon you already know..."
"I won't dare bother the lady anymore. I promise, I won't get involved with you anymore."
"Then tell this to all your friends. If anyone dares to disturb Nonaku, it will be faced with the Bova and Berutti families."
"Bova and Berutti Family?! So this Master..." Protected big name Bova and Berutti who will dare.
"This is my boss Fabricio Bova, and the lady you're bothering is her lover."
"I understand, I won't try to disturb Miss. I'm sorry Mr."
"If you've been warned but you keep trying, don't blame me for being mean to anyone who dares to try. I won't give you mercy."
"I understand Sir. We wouldn't dare..."
"Good! Warn all your friends tomorrow."
After midnight their business is done. And Luca will do his job warning the others tomorrow...

Eliza POV.
The first thing I saw was a white ceiling. I'm alive at least. Then the infusion in my hand, my chest that felt strange there was a hose on my chest, the clock that showed at 6 am. And Bova's sleeping on the couch.
"Vanilla, you're awake." Somehow he could wake up too.
"You're here."
"Of course I'm here. I can't leave you alone..."
"What's going on?"
"You're gonna be fine. Just a little shot up. Nothing serious..." She grabbed my hand, and straightened my hair. "Is anything painful?" I'm just shaking my head, maybe not because there's a drug effect.
"Thank you for taking care of me all night."
"I'm just thankful you're okay. After this no one will dare to help Gianni again. I've threatened the whole gang in Milan. If they dare to try, I'll exterminate them."
"I have a great lover. Don't get too hot, it'll burn, Oven." He looked at me and his finger touched my nose.
"I wasn't great, I should have done it earlier, now you're hurt."
"I'm just having a very bad luck."
He sighed.
"I'll be scolded by your father."
"Talking about Dad, he's back today."
"really?"
"Yes, he's angry that I didn't join him in the war." I grimaced.
This conversation seems meaningless but the truth is that it is a grateful talk of being able to see each other again.
"I don't think I'll ever see you again..." I smiled at him. To be able to touch his face again feels like a miracle now. A lot of things happened in the minutes I was shot, fear, regret, and memories of love. That I haven't even said I love her after everything she's done for me
"I love you Vanilla, I'll burn whoever dares to bother you again." He said it first.
"I love you too." I replied to her and in vain kissed my palm that was stroking her face.
This gratitude is greater than anything. This morning although painful and chaotic but will be remembered forever.
First he said he loved me.
