I wasn't happy when I found out about Galina and Joshua possibly being behind the hitman ordeal and almost killing Chloe. Thankfully, I killed Dante's ass before he could even take me out. I was out for blood when it came to those two cold-hearted bastards.

I stormed into Colby's vehicle, full of nothing but anger written all over my face, and I tried playing it cool with a fake smile; but unfortunately for me, they could all tell that my smiles weren't authentic.

"Joe. We know this is a lot to take in and as much as we hate those two, you can't kill them because you'll get caught and we don't want you to be sent to prison."

"Colbs, I can easily take those two out if I wanted to. I'm not the one to put my hands on a woman unless it's in the bedroom; but in Joshua's case, I'll be more than glad to kill his ass."

"Joe, be careful please. Your career would be on the line and your reputation."

"So? Dante almost killed my wife and..."

"Y-Your wife?" Colby interrupted with a slight stutter.

"Yeah, my wife. I know I'm not engaged to her yet, but she's the woman of my dreams and dammit, I refuse to lose Chloe because of this fucking bullshit." I replied as my eyebrows furrowed and my upper lip started to twitch.

"You must really love her, man." Colby replied, "Enough to kill someone in order to keep her safe."

I nodded, "I do. I don't care what the consequences are for me unless I can make Chloe my wife someday. Shit, I wanna be a father too and be a family man in the future."

"You both would have the cutest kids! I'd be the auntie, Joe." Emma said.

"You'd definitely be the aunt of our children. You and Rebecca both."

"How many kids are you wanting to have, Joe?" Rebecca asked.

"Three, maybe four or five?"

"Damn, you want a big family don't you?" Emma replied.

"Yeah, I do."

"Listen, Joe's always wanted to be a father. But Galina always refused in the past and he'd accept her wishes, but I've seen the way he is towards children whether they're fans of his or visiting the little kids in the hospital who are fighting for their lives and making their wishes come true because of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I can tell he wants to be a father already and Joe, man, being a father is tiring." Colby replied.

"I'm sure it is and you're right. I do want children; and all I truly want is to be someday be married to Chloe and start a family together."

"I know it'll happen, man."

Galina
I'd watch Joshua scream on the phone at Dante's managers about how he should've given us the update on whether or not Joe and Chloe are dead. We still assume that Dante took our money and ran off with it without a care in the world.

After we followed Dante's managers to the area just a few hours later, Joshua started to cause chaos within the building and unfortunately, we were kicked out and weren't able to know about his whereabouts.

...Until we overheard a voice from the other side of the door.

"He's dead."

"What do you mean Dante's dead? He's one of the best hitmen that we have!"

"Well, he was found murdered and he looked like he was shot in the skull."

"What the fuck? Did the police do this or?"

"We don't know; we'll probably never know at this point, Brian." One of the co-workers said, shaking their head in confusion.

Joshua and I overheard the conversation and looked at each other with rage filling our eyes.

"We know who fucking did this. It's not gonna be their business to know but I have a feeling it was one of our ex's that killed Dante. No wonder why we haven't heard any news regarding those two imbeciles!"

"No kidding. We're just gonna have to take them out ourselves because clearly Pensacola's Best Hitman couldn't get the job done. What a fucking idiot!" Joshua rambled on.

Joe
We finally arrived back to the Toronto Hospital where Chloe was still laying inside of the hospital bed and somewhat in a better condition than before. The doctor and I continued to glance at the screening next to her and realized that her brainwaves and blood pressure was beginning to stay regulated.

"Well, we have some amazing news to share with you, Mr. Anoa'i."

"Oh? What's the good news?"

"We expect Chloe to wake up in the morning with the way her recovery seems to be fastening up faster than ever."

I started to smile while glancing up at the doctor, "Really?"

He nodded, "Yes and if she happens to wake up while we're not in the room, please don't be afraid to press that button next to her bedside so we can be informed."

"I'll do that, thank you."

As the doctor left the room, I sat down at Chloe's bedside with a warm smile beginning to form all around my face. I haven't been truly happy ever since the incident happened to Chloe, but knowing that she was healing fast was incredible news.

Suddenly, I was met with Emma, Colby and Rebecca standing behind me.

"What's got you smiling there, Big Dog?" Colby asked.

"I was told that Chloe is supposed to be awake in the morning and how her blood pressure is starting to regulate more and the surgery she went through is helping her recover much faster than expected."

"That's amazing, man." Colby replied as he reeled me into a hug, "See? I told you. I knew that she was going to make it."

"I've never doubted you buddy."

"And my best friend is finally going to see me again! I've missed her so much and whenever she's healed, I'm taking her out shopping for some new outfits!"

"Because you're so good with outfits, Emma, maybe in the future you could help her find a wedding dress whenever Chloe and I are engaged, hmm?"

"I'd love to do that!"

As the night went on and everyone went home, I stayed the night as always and made sure that Chloe's progress stayed in place and not out of the ordinary. I looked down at her beautiful hair as it cascaded over her shoulders and seen her in a deep sleep for awhile. She was definitely a fighter and I couldn't wait to marry this woman someday.

I've never seen a woman fight so much for her life before and it amazed me at how fast she progressed over the past few days after enduring a massive, stressful surgery.
