Chapter 114
Rachel
We arrived back in a very cold New York, I thought Paris was cold, not a touch to this. I pulled my jacket tightly around me, then I felt Massimo’s heat as he put his arm around me. “I told you New York is cold sweetheart and this is just the beginning.” “I might change my mind.” He just laughed at me. Reality hit me hard when Marco introduced us to Bianca, my other bodyguard. I thought I’d have a day alone before she domes. “Nice to meet you, Bianca.” “Miss” “Please call me Rachel, we’re going to spend a lot of time together.” “Nice to meet you, Rachel.” Massimo opened the door for me and Bianca went to the SUV behind us. “Who’s driving with her?” “Davide and Bianca will work with Luca and Marco.” “That means you also going to have two bodyguards? That means the threat rattled you Massimo, more than I thought.” “Sorry Bella, just taking precaution, nothing to worry about, nothing will happen to you.” “I don’t worry about me Massimo; I worry about you.” “It’s not necessary sweetheart, I know how to defend myself, speaking off. Marco, you need to start your self-defence classes with Rachel tomorrow, if that’s okay with you Bella?” “Off course Massimo, if it will make you feel better.” “It will. Thank you, sweetheart.” We arrived at the apartment building and even in the foyer there was another doorman that had a gun. Our luggage was taken to the room. I excused myself and went to the bedroom, while Massimo gave orders and spoke to his men and Bianca. I started to unpack, something to keep my mind occupied for me not to think that there is indeed to groups off people that wants to harm me. Is this worth it, that’s the question. When I reached out and took out my engagement dress and I looked at my ring, I made a decision. Massimo is definitely worth it; I know he will keep me safe. I could see our daughter wearing this dress and that was the moment I knew everything is worth it, to be with Massimo. I could see our children growing up, I could see a future with him. With my ex I never saw a future, yes, I was pregnant but I knew I’ll leave him some day. With Massimo I wanted lots of children and I know he would stand by me no matter what and I’ll, stand by him. I unpack my jewellery he bought me and realised it doesn’t have that stigma attached to it anymore. The jewellery was just a token of his love. Geez Rachel, you’ve come a long way in a short time. You could be proud of yourself. I thought to myself. I closed the draw with the jewellery when I felt Massimo’s heat behind me. He moved my hair from my neck and gave me a kiss on that sweet spot. “What are you doing sweetheart?” “Just unpacking love.” “You know it’s not necessary right, someone will do it tomorrow.” “I know love but I needed to do something while I thought of the reality of what’s going on around us.” “I understand Bella. Are you regretting your decision to say yes to my marriage proposal? I’ll understand if you are.” “No Massimo, not at all in fact I could see our children running around, I can see a future with you, I’ll never regret my decision, no matter what danger waits for us. I know you’ll never let anything happen to me.” “Thank you for having so much faith in me Bella. I’ll always do everything in my power to keep you safe.” “I know Massimo. What’s the plan of action this week?” “I told them I’ll be working from the club, it’s safer there and more secure. You and Marco will have your self-defence classes when you ready during the day and in the morning, we’ll go running with just Luca and Marco.” “No problem, Massimo and Wednesday when you have the meeting, where do you want me?” I think it would be better if you work from home this week. I have a lot of meetings around town and with the families I don’t want them to meet you yet.” “No problem, I’ll probably have some jet lag.” “If you want to go run when I’m already at work then Marco and Bianca can run with you.” “Okay Massimo.”
“On a much lighter note. You do know it’s the last week of November, right?” “Off course Bella, why?” “Well, it’s almost the festive season.” “Yes, I know it’s almost Christmas. What about it?” “Have you ever decorated your home before?” “No Bella I can’t say I have. If you want, I’ll get an interior decorator to come and make the house festive. I’ve never done it because it was always just me.” “Hell, no Massimo, I love Christmas I’ll decorate the house, I take it you have no tree or decorations?” “Guilty as charge Bella.” “Well then, I will have to get permission from my boss to go shopping for everything Christmas.” “Permission granted if you never out of Bianca and Marco’s sight.” I almost jumped up and down. “Thank you, Massimo, I love Christmas and decorating. Do you have preferences?” “Only preference is not too much.” “I think I could work with that.” “There’s something I wanted to give you for a while now.” He pulled a credit card out of one of his draws and gave it to me on it was my name and surname. “When did you do this Massimo?” I said in shock “Don’t be angry Bella, a while back, you’re going to be my wife I’m sure I can start to provide for you.” “You didn’t know I’m going to accept Massimo.” I said irritated at him “That’s why the card was in my draw until you accepted Bella. Please don’t be angry I just want you to have enough money with you to buy whatever you want. And you are going to need a lot of money to decorate the house.” He teased me. Waving the card in front of me. I grab the card. “Okay fine, but you could be happy I love decorating for Christmas or this would have been a longer conversation.” “Then I’m very happy you like Christmas. I’ll have to make a note to take you to the lightning of the Rockefeller Christmas tree as far as I know it’s on the 29 Nov.” “That will be awesome Massimo.” “If you love Christmas, you’re definitely in the right city. I’ll take you to do everything Bella.”
“You know I love you right Massimo?” “Yes, Bella but I don’t mind you saying it a lot. But you know what Bella, I love you more, we’re in the middle of a storm here with people threatening us and you still see the good in the world and want to decorate for Christmas. I can’t possible love you more.”
