THE GANGSTER'S GIRL - CHAPTER 49&50 [FINALE]
The sound of gunshot reverberated through the hall, freezing everyone in horror. Alessandro’s body crumpled to the floor, lifeless. Marco had shot him in the head three times, leaving the onlookers in shock.
“You know the rules,” Marco’s voice boomed around the hall. “Whoever ki||s the boss becomes the boss, so put your guns down.”
Immediately, all the men dropped their weapons and bowed to their new leader. Finnian, snapping out of his stupor, dashed to Seraphina. He pulled her into a tight hug.
“I was scared,” Seraphina’s voice trembled.
“I know, baby,” Finnian whispered, holding her close. “But it’s over now. We’re safe.”
Seraphina clung to him, her fear slowly dissipating in his embrace. “I thought I’d lose you,” she murmured.
“Never,” Finnian assured her. “I’ll always protect you.”
Rina, seething with rage, glared at them. Just as she was about to rush towards Finnian, Marco ordered one of his men to take Rina home and lock her in her room. Her screams echoed through the hall as she was forcibly dragged away.
In the aftermath, Jasper, Stellan, Rafferty, and Blue surrounded Seraphina, offering their support. They hugged her tightly, whispering words of comfort. Finnian turned to Marco, gratitude evident in his eyes.
“Thank you, Marco,” Finnian said earnestly. “You saved us all.”
Marco nodded. “We’re in this together. Take care of her.”
Finnian smiled and turned back to Seraphina. “By the way, are you really pregnant?” he asked, a teasing glint in his eyes.
Seraphina laughed, shaking her head. “No, I’m not. You worry too much.”
Finnian joined her laughter, the tension easing. “Well, I guess we have time to think about that later.”

ONE YEAR LATER
It had been a year since the fateful night, and today was their graduation. The sun shone brightly over the academy, casting a warm glow on the celebratory atmosphere. Seraphina, Finnian, and their friends stood together, clad in their graduation gowns, ready to embark on a new chapter of their lives.
The ceremony was grand, filled with proud parents and beaming graduates. Finnian, chosen as the valedictorian, stepped up to the podium, his heart pounding with excitement. He looked out at the crowd, taking a deep breath before beginning his speech.
“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, and my fellow graduates,” Finnian started, his voice steady. “Today marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. We’ve faced challenges, endured hardships, and celebrated victories. Each moment has shaped us into who we are today.”
He glanced at Seraphina, who smiled encouragingly. “We’ve learned the value of friendship, the strength of unity, and the importance of never giving up. We’ve seen how love and loyalty can triumph over fear and adversity.”
“As we step into the future, let us carry these lessons with us. Let us strive to make a difference, to be the change we wish to see in the world. Remember, we are stronger together, and together, we can achieve greatness.”
Finnian’s words resonated with the audience, who erupted into applause. He stepped down from the podium, returning to his friends. Seraphina hugged him tightly, her eyes shining with pride.
“You were amazing,” she whispered, kissing him tenderly.
Finnian smiled. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”
Their relationship had grown stronger over the past year, built on trust and unwavering support. They had faced their fears and come out stronger on the other side.
As the ceremony concluded, the graduates threw their caps into the air, their laughter and cheers filling the sky. Finnian and Seraphina stood hand in hand, ready to face wh@??ver the future held together.
Their journey was just beginning, and with their friends by their side, they knew they could conquer anything.

In the bustling hall, Jasper, Stellan, Rafferty, and Blue joined Seraphina and Finnian. They shared stories of the past year, reminiscing about their shared experiences and dreams for the future. The bonds they had formed were unbreakable, forged in the fires of their shared struggles and triumphs.
As the day came to an end, Finnian and Seraphina stole a moment alone. They walked through the quiet academy grounds, savoring the tranquility.
“Can you believe it’s been a year?” Seraphina asked, leaning her head on Finnian’s shoulder.
“It’s been a rollercoaster,” Finnian replied, his arm around her. “But I wouldn’t change a thing. We’ve grown so much.”
Seraphina nodded, her heart full. “Here’s to the future, Finnian. Wh@??ver it brings, we’ll face it together.”
Finnian kissed her gently. “Together, always.”
And so, with their hearts full of hope and their spirits ready for the journey ahead, they stepped into the future, hand in hand, ready to embrace wh@??ver came their way.

15 YEARS LATER
The sun was setting over a cozy suburban home, casting a warm glow over the backyard. Finnian and Seraphina sat on a blanket, watching their two beautiful children, Emma and Liam, play in the garden. Emma, with her mother’s exuberant spirit and bright smile, darted around with boundless energy, while Liam, though he had inherited his father’s calm demeanor, was a softy at heart.
“Daddy, catch me!” Emma giggled, her blonde curls bouncing as she sprinted across the lawn.
Finnian pretended to chase her, his footsteps deliberately slow. “You’re too fast for me, princess!”
Seraphina laughed, her heart swelling with love as she watched her family. Liam, holding a book in his hand, glanced up at his sister’s antics, a small smile tugging at his lips.
“Do you want to play too, Liam?” Finnian asked, kneeling beside him.
Liam shook his head, but his eyes sparkled with affection. “I’m okay, Dad. Maybe later.”
Finnian ruffled his son’s hair before returning to the chase. Seraphina leaned back on her hands, enjoying the peaceful scene. Finnian finally caught Emma, lifting her into the air and spinning her around. Her laughter was infectious, spreading a wave of joy.
“Alright, Emma, let’s give your dad a break,” Seraphina said, smiling. “Come here, both of you.”
Emma and Liam rushed to their mother, snuggling close. Finnian joined them, wrapping an arm around Seraphina. They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, the evening breeze gently rustling the leaves.
“Mommy, Daddy,” Emma suddenly asked, her curiosity evident, “how did you two meet?”
Finnian and Seraphina exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes twinkling with shared memories. Finnian’s hand found Seraphina’s, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“That’s quite a story,” Finnian began, smiling at Seraphina. “Do you want to tell it, love?”
Seraphina nodded, brushing a strand of hair from Emma’s face. “Well, it all started when I met your father at the playground, and he pointed his gun at me.”
Emma and Liam’s eyes widened in shock, and they exclaimed in unison, “What?!”
