Revenge And Love Against My Mafia Ex-Husband
Chapter 69

Ximena left the hospital, sent for her belongings, her sister, her sister, bought a house on the outskirts of the city, where the fresh air would do the baby good. She was taken by ambulance because of her delicate state of health. -Sir, it's not this way. -Emily said, worried because she already knew the way to her new home very well. -Ma'am, we're taking a shortcut, there's a traffic jam," replied the paramedic. -replied the paramedic.

-He was lying, we're heading south and the house is in the north, sir, stop or I'll call the police. -Emily pulled out her phone so he could see that she was serious.

-You know what, miss, hold still or we'll have to strap you to the gurney too. -The paramedic pointed a gun at her and his mask came off.

-You're Max, or Leonel, whatever your name is, you want to kill me to get revenge on Angelo, what you don't know is that we are nothing. -Ximena shouted, trying to free herself from the stretcher.

-According to what Vivían told us, you're the only woman he's ever fallen in love with sincerely, and besides, you're expecting his first born, what could be better, I won the lottery of revenge. -This time Max was showing his true personality. -Leave us alone stupid, my boyfriend is a cop and he'll make you sorry for hurting us. -Emily thought that by pushing him, he would let them go free.

-I'm not afraid of cops, I'll eat the green ones with chocolate, although you girl is in our way, I can't stand your squeaky voice," Max cleaned his golden gun and pushed Emily out of the ambulance.

She felt the hard pavement, rolled down the avenue and raised her hands to avoid being hit by a car. She looked up at the landscape, it wasn't what she imagined, she wasn't on a highway full of cars, it was a lonely alley. She rubbed her scrapes, she didn't know whether to walk following the ambulance or not, her heels were broken, so she had to throw them away and limp around looking for help, after an hour she found a farmer herding cows.

-Sir, please help me, my sister has been kidnapped, I need to call someone.

-Of course, miss, take my mobile phone, call the police. -The farmer lent her the unlocked phone.

-Thank you, sir, what a nice phone, it's better than mine.

Emily thought about calling her friend, the police or the anti-kidnapping group. Instead she called her brother-in-law, she had learned the number since she saw it on Ximena's phone. Many times, she had been on the verge of calling him. Although now it would be her turn because of this dreadful calamity. I dialed him and he almost didn't answer, until about the tenth call he answered: -Hello, who is this?

-Hello, this is Ximena's sister, she was kidnapped from the hospital, I was able to escape, I'm in a place....

-We are at kilometre 20, on the road from Usme to Suma Paz. -The peasant interrupted him.

-Please come and get me.

A few minutes later, Angelo arrived in his helicopters, where he was surprised to see the young woman who had harassed him on several occasions.

-I don't know the reason for your flirtations, were you trying to test me?

-No, the truth is I didn't know you were my sister's husband until recently, but that doesn't matter, a certain Max kidnapped us, although I escaped him, they continued on to the wasteland, according to what the gentleman tells me.

-That moor is hostile territory, we must proceed with caution. Angelo pointed to a mountain with a cloud-covered peak. At that moment his mobile phone rang, another unknown number, he had better answer it, lest it be something else important, and a voice proclaimed:

-Hello Angelo, I got your wife, guess what I want in return?

-Max, I swear, if anything happens to Ximena, you'll regret it forever.

-What will you do, you will kill my family, well remember I have no family except Joseph and you, maybe Jose Luis. I don't think you will kill yourself.

-Tell me what you want, you ungrateful f**k.

-Angelo, I want fifty million dollars in cash, I want it tomorrow at noon at La Cabrera, I'll see you, I have nothing more to talk about, see you later and go alone.

-He hung up that dog, he wants some money, although I can't conceive of him letting her go, what he really wants is to kill me, the damned resentful bastard hasn't overcome his traumas. -Angelo clenched his fist

-Let's get the money, I'll withdraw it from the company or let's do something. -Emily cried in anguish.

-That's the least of it, we have to set up a single operation, José Luis calls everyone, especially Cancán, let's get rid of that bastard Max once and for all.

The next day, Angelo went alone to the riverbank, carried the money in four briefcases, and went into the small stone path. He spotted several snipers, felt the sparks of water that warned him that the imposing waterfall was near, I estimate that it was about twelve meters high, some bathers were taken out immediately by Max's people, who greeted him from a stone.

-Hello Angelo, my brother, how nice to see you, you look sad, it must be because of that money. Pretend I've been inherited in life.

-Max, don't be so shameless, my grandfather was very good to you, he took you in and treated you like a son, we were even in the same school, now you dare to betray us.

-Don't be Angelo, you know very well that that old man acted that way because of the weight of his conscience, he couldn't stand the fact that he killed my whole family in cold blood. He tried to vindicate himself by raising me, pretending that I was like a son, when everyone knew I was adopted and you treated me like a pet. It was up to me to do what you wanted, otherwise I was punished, and when I accidentally hit you, José Luis punished me severely.

-It seems that they told you the truth, but only one part, your family, was the one that killed my parents, Ximena's parents and tried to kill my grandfather several times. He wasn't capable of killing an innocent baby, so he adopted you as his son, you don't seem to remember how he bought you clothes, the presents he gave us at Christmas.

-That was Santa Claus.

-Please, don't play the idiot, better look, take the money, take it, I don't care about that, tell me where my wife is. -Angelo gave him the suitcases.

-Yes, don't worry, your wife is in El Boqueron there, fifteen minutes from where they dumped the dumper loads of corpses in the Thousand Days War. Take the coordinates, go quickly, she's dying to see you. -Max left with his men, who were wearing black suits with dark visor helmets. Angelo ran to his car, driving to the spot, arriving in no time,

His beloved was on top of a rock, sitting on some chairs, gagged, with her eyes full of tears, Angelo removed the cloth that prevented her from speaking and she sobbed:

-Love is a trap,

The phone rang, it was Max, who spoke:

-Brother, there is an explosive charge under your wife's chair, if you try to move it or deactivate it, it will explode. Although right now in fifteen minutes I will detonate it. I have the detonator in my hands, I want you to say goodbye to her, or beg me, convince me not to press this button, maybe it's with you consigning me some good figure.

-I'm not going to beg you, I'll just tell you, I'll kill you with my own hands and it'll be a very slow thing, it'll take me years for sure.

-That's stupid, but look how things are, here I press this button and there you watch your wife die..." One of his soldiers took the control from his hand, hit him, and also ripped off his mobile phone, saying to Angelo, "Chief, everything is under control: -Chief, everything is under control, and he's on his way there too, José with the explosives expert,

-How is it that you betrayed me, I promised you a lot of money, an amount that that disgusting Angelo will never give you. -Max reproached them while they were handcuffing him.

-There are things that are worth more than money, like honour, but those are things that you will never understand. -The soldier took off his helmet showing his true face, it was Cancan, who with his squadron had followed Angelo, without making a sound, they reduced Max's men and took off their suits, now they had him prisoner together with the ransom money.

-No, you bastards, I swear I'll kill you! -Max despaired at the failure of his plans.

-You know what Doctor D. is like." Cancan reminded him that a series of tortures awaited him.

-No, I don't think so, I won't give him the pleasure of torturing me. -Max struggled and threw himself out of the helicopter, crashing into the landscape.

In the place known as El Boqueron, Angelo hugged Ximena trying to calm her down.

-Calm down my love, everything is going to be alright.

-Angelo, go, save yourself, I heard that it will explode when it gets dark, it won't be long now, go and please forgive me for wanting to take you away from your son, that's why I condemned him to die with me. -Ximena cried.

-Sir, I'm the explosives expert. -A man arrived with coats and protections, which only served to give confidence, because that would not protect him from the explosion, in fact, because of the weather it was starting to suffocate him, I better take it off, to check the bomb, saying:

-Sir it has a timer, it's counting down, the mechanism is confusing, however, I'll give it a try.

-Angelo, stand back while sir deactivates it please. -Ximena heard him mention to Max that the bomb would explode if they tried to disable it.

-Sir, the only thing left to do is to cut two wires, like in the movies, I don't know if it's the blue or the red one, you choose, one disables it and the other will blow us to pieces. -The explosives expert was sweating, he even took off his shirt.

-Sir, I'll take care of it, you don't have to die, leave it to me, I can't bear to be without them. -Angelo pushed the expert away before he cut a wire, "Love, which one do I choose, the red or the blue?

-Love the red one, as our love, I heard the bomb maker say that only the sky would save me. -Ximena closed her eyes imagining that she was the one cutting the cable.

Angelo took a deep breath cutting the blue wire, praying that it was the wire and it worked, the count stopped. Although for a few seconds, it began to count faster. Angelo nervously grabbed his wife kicking the chair into the ravine, threw himself on top of Ximena to protect her from the blast, the blast wave reached him, although he was happy to take the damage, as he covered his loved ones with his body.
