Brittany wrung her hands. “It’s all my fault.”
Tony brushed the screen, then glared at
Frankie.
“Frankie, you’ve been with me forever, how do you not know Amy’s voice? You helped hurt her, and it isn’t Amy’s fault”
“And the phone and everything, I swear I am not the bad guy, not the gold digger! It is an
accident!”
Frankie trembled, groveling. “Maybe she stole her phone too. Please, boss, give me a shot.”
Tony tried unlocking the phone, using my birthday. It worked.
He quickly found my Notes.
He read aloud: “Tony’s wedding is this
weekend. I’m sneaking home to surprise him.
He bought me a new place. It is good to be
loved.”
“Tony gave you so much, and I was always
hoping that one day I would have that”

My heart broke all over again.
Tony started to weep.
“Amy…my baby sister…..”
“I’m gonna make everyone who hurt you pay!” Frankie turned ghostly pale, shaking.
“But I didn’t do anything to hurt the ho.”
Hearing that, Tony tossed the saint at her. He
hit her so hard that she started bleeding from the mouth.
“All is fair in love and war, and now, war has begun!”
Tony scooped me up again, careful of my
injuries. He bellowed at his guys: “Go home to hell!”
They scrambled to leave.
“We were gonna get her a wedding, but the devil is not getting in the way of love”
I love you and I know that will never change, so
I knew that it was a mistake for me to come back”
Hearing all that, Brittany’s eyes went big and I became furious with the devil

Tony sighed and hugged the saint
“Amy here in heaven is happy, so there is
heaven here on earth!”
The ambulance arrived outside.
Tony told two of his men to carry me out,
climbing in with me.
He told them to take Brittany and Frankie to the hospital, too.
“If Amy’s not okay, I’ll bury them both alive!”
In the ambulance, Tony held my hand, tears
falling on me.
I tried to wipe them away, but everything went black.
When I woke up, I was wrapped in bandages.
An IV was stuck in my arm. Brittany and Frankie
were kneeling nearby, shaking.
“Amy, you’re awake!”
Tony called for a doctor, telling me everything would be alright.
“Don’t worry, this is Tony Costello. He’s the
best. The doctors are tops. You’ll be fixed up in no time!”
The doctor examined my eyes, listening to my

heartbeat.
He sighed.

“Boss, the main thing is, she’s got a concussion. Also, she suffered. That’s it.” “She passed out from the shock of the attack, but she’ll be alright. IV fluids, meds, and some rest, she’ll be back on her feet in a couple of weeks.”
Tony relaxed a little. “Any long–term damage?” The doctor hesitated.
“Spit it out!”
“Well, she has a scar. This is a sad day
because it marks another scar.”
He knew my face had been rebuilt after the
original attack, and he knew Tony’s feelings, so
he was worried he would get hurt
“And her lips were cut. They’ll always have a
scar. Whoever did this is scum.”
Tony’s eyes went red. “Get the best doctors in
the world here. Money’s no object. Now!”
The doctor practically ran off.
Tony picked up a scalpel and glared at the two
kneeling women.
