♥ Chapter 15♥
Lucas Moretti.
''Do you have a problem with your mouth? Why do you keep smiling all the time? '' Enzo says, clearly annoyed.
Oh, fuck, this boy is extremely handsome when he's angry.
This angry expression only makes me smile more. I approach him, standing face-to-face, and say it softly.
''It's impossible not to smile at the sight of you, Enzo.
''You're too beautiful.'' Luan adds, with a tone of admiration.
''You're both idiots,'' Enzo retorts, turning away from me with a serious look on his face. ''And keep your distance from me. What's the office? I want to talk to my mother.
'' Mother? '' Fred asks, laughing mockingly. ''What I saw here yesterday was a woman with no class. Did you see the way she looked?
The other two, Carlos and Jennifer, start laughing too, adding to my displeasure.
''Fred, show some respect. '' Luan warns, trying to keep the situation under control.
''It's just funny, Luan. A low-class woman, married to two men on top of that. '' Fred leans over to Enzo with a mischievous smile. ''
I'm sure her place in hell is guaranteed.
I'm about to lose my temper. Furthermore, I look at Luan, who shares my displeasure at what's happening. The tension between us increases, and the desire to protect Enzo in any way becomes almost palpable.
Suddenly, Enzo, with surprising speed, punches Fred in the nose. The sound of the impact echoes around the room. The laughter we've been trying to hold back turns into a satisfied smile as Enzo kicks Fred in the ribs and then rams him, sending him crashing to the floor.
Fuck, that really turns me on. I notice that Luan is also clearly excited by this display of bravery.
But Enzo hasn't stopped yet. He steps hard on Fred's throat, making him spit blood. That's when we decided to intervene. We put our arms around Enzo's waist, pulling him away from Fred.
''Get the fuck off me!'' Enzo shouts, trying to break free of our arms.
''Calm down, darling. '' My brother says, trying to calm him down.
''That way, you'll kill him.'' I added, trying to make Enzo understand the seriousness of the situation.
''That's my intention! Enzo growls, still trying to get rid of us.
I feel like I'm going to lose control if I carry on like this. My brother whispers something in Enzo's ear, and I notice that he shivers at the touch. I smile mischievously at his reaction.
''Get off me, you bastards!'' Enzo shouts again, and we can't help but laugh at his reaction, even though he tries to deny it.
Just then, the door to our father's office opens, revealing Enzo's family. His father, mother, and brother enter the room with expressions of surprise and concern.
''What's going on here?'' Our father asks, observing the scene with a serious look on his face.
''That boy almost killed Fred!'' Jennifer exclaims with fake tears in her eyes, pointing at Enzo.
''And I would if those idiots didn't stop me! '' Enzo replied angrily, still fighting against our restraint.
''Enzo!'' Enzo's mother, Mrs. D'Angelo, exclaims, shocked. I know they're going to try to blame Enzo, so I decide to intervene.
''It wasn't his fault, Mrs. D'Angelo.'' I'm trying to protect Enzo. My brother adds:
''Fred insulted you, and your son only defended you.
''Insulted?'' asks Elijah, our father-in-law.
''Yes, he was badmouthing your wife just because she's married to two men,'' Luan replies in a calm but firm voice.
Our father shakes his head and approaches Fred, checking his pulse.
''His pulse is very weak. If we don't get him to the hospital now, he'll die right here. '' He looks at Enzo's parents. ''What's your decision? He insulted your wife, so it's your choice: save him or not.
Enzo's mother and brother look surprised at the coldness of the situation.
'' Let him die. As well as insulting my wife, he pushed my son into the pool.'' Mr. Elijah says with a stern expression.
'' Very well. Gustavo!'' Our father calls out, and the shout visibly startles Enzo.
Gustavo, our father's best assassin, enters with an impassive expression. He kills without mercy, and his presence brings an aura of tension.
''Yes, capo?'' Gustavo asks in our native language.
''Take Fred away from here and put him out of his misery.'' My father says this, pointing at Fred and then looking at Jennifer and Carlos. '' And the two of them, too.
'' Please, Mr. Christopher, have mercy on us! '' Jennifer begs, starting to cry with fear.
'' Mercy? You came to my house, pushed my friends' son into the pool, and even allowed Fred to insult their wife. There will be no mercy.
The two of them, Jennifer and Carlos, look at us with despair.
''Luan, Lucas, please, we're friends.'' Carlos begs, with tears in his eyes.
''Friends?'' We asked together. ''You made a serious mistake, and now you're going to pay for it. We don't care what happens to you two.
They start to beg, but we ignore them completely. Gustavo approaches Fred, who is almost dead on the ground, and lifts him up with ease. He then takes his gun out of its holster and points it at Jennifer and Carlos.
''Hurry up, before I shoot you,'' Gustavo orders, and the two of them start walking, crying intensely.
