Chapter 115
Massimo
Tuesday was a slow day, Bella and I were suffering hard with the jet lag this time. I think we might have overdone it in Paris. But I don’t think Bella minded. It was also good for Luca and Marco to recover. When I step out of those doors this week, Luca has to be on his A game that counts for Marco to, he needs to keep Bella safe at all cost. Bella and I slept till 12. Made ourselves something to eat and drink then we change scenery and laid in front of the TV, I don’t think we knew what we were watching, we both passed out again.
Wednesday I had the meeting with the owners of the apartment building I was buying and I had a surprise for Bella tonight. She’s going to love it.
Luca, Enzo, my attorney and I arrived at the apartment building with the duffel bags full of cash. This felt more illegal than the arms deal I did. I didn’t know why they wanted cash and I wasn’t planning on asking. My attorney took the papers went through it and told me everything is in order. Then we exchange the money. The seller had someone come in to count the money with a bank note counter otherwise we would have been here the whole day and night. I asked the sellers if the tenants knew the building where sold, they assured me all the tenants did receive a letter, the only hiccup was that the apartment supervisor resigned. I told my attorney to make a note of it and told him we needed to send out our own letter informing the tenants that the rent will stay the same and that all complaints or maintenance issues should be directed to Rachel’s e-mail address. I’m sure Bella will be happy with the extra work she’ll be getting. Today she was going through the Ricci’s files again, she told me last night there was something bothering her in the files. Hopefully she get’s what she looking for and hopefully it would help us as well. The money was counted and everyone was happy. Out of interest I asked the owner who was their other offer from. He shocked me when he said the families surname is ‘Ricci’. What the fuck are that family up to? I need to get rid of them and soon, they are getting way to arrogant. We left the apartment building and went to my office at the club. “Enzo you need to get a supervisor for that building, but one of our guys. If the Ricci’s wanted that building, there must be a reason. Or they just wanted it because I was buying it. They are fucking with us and I don’t like it guys we need to do something about them.” Enzo was the first to answer “It’s a bit difficult to do anything now boss, with the FBI watching them.” “You have a point Enzo but we still need to do something, they can’t run free and think they can get away with everything, the FBI is not their bodyguards. I’ll speak to Frank about them.” “Understood boss” “I want an action plan tomorrow regarding the Ricci’s.” “We’ll talk about it boss.” “Good”
“Hi Massimo” “Hi Frank, how are you?” “Cut the bull shit what do you want?” “You’re hurting my feelings Frank, what if I was just calling to find out how you are?” “Sure, now what can I help you with?” “Are you guys still investigating the Ricci’s?” “You know I can’t tell you Massimo.” “Okay Frank let me give you a scenario. I want to put my guys on them for surveillance purposes.” “If that’s the scenario I would tell you to wait at least three weeks before you start your surveillance.” “Thank you Frank always a pleasure.”
“Bella I’m home!” I called out as I entered the apartment. “In the lounge Massimo.” I found her as always barefoot sitting on the ground with the papers in front of her. “You know my office will be much more comfortable.” “I like sitting here at the fire place.” “My office also has a fireplace sweetheart.” I bend down and gave her a quick kiss. “I think we should rearrange things and make your own office here at home.” “You know it’s not necessary Massimo.” “I’m giving you, more work sweetheart I think it would be better if we get you an office.” “What work?” “Well the purchased of the apartment building went through so all queries and maintenance issues will come through you for now, we don’t have a supervisor yet.” “A supervisor isn’t necessary Massimo, I could handle all those queries and send a handy men to the apartment.” “You sure Bella?” “Yes off course.” “Okay I’ll let Enzo know we only need a doorman.” “Now did you find anything?” “Not yet, but there is something here we are missing.” “That will have to wait till tomorrow, we are going out.” “Where are we going?” “It’s a surprise, go get dress, something warm and sensible shoes.”
When Bella came out she was wearing jeans, her red Valentino Bow trimmed wool and silk sweater that I bought her in Paris and she was holding her red jacket in her arms with a pair of boots. She looked like she knew where we where going. She twirled in front of me. “Does this get your approval?” “Anything you wear has my approval Bella. Now let’s go before we’re late.” We arrived at the Rockefeller tree lightning show. It was just past 9 pm and Kelly Clarkson was singing. “Oh my Gosh Massimo, I can’t believe you brought me. I love it.” “I’m very happy you like it Bella, I don’t think Marco, Luca and the others are very happy.” “No one will do anything to us in this crowed Massimo.” “I tend to agree with you sweetheart.” I took her in my arms and we swayed to the music. I would never have thought I’d do something like this, but it’s true you change when you’re in love.
