Chapter 128
Rachel
I walked straight to the kitchen to get myself a water and a lollie. I was still feeling like I’m going to be sick. I walked to bathroom, as I was walking, I started to get undress, I’m not normally this messy, but I needed to get out of these cloths and into the shower. I was in desperate need of a shower, it felt like I was awake for days. I showered quickly, put my hair in a messy bun, got my comfy PJ’s on and went straight to bed. I was positive if Massimo sees me in my PJ’s this time of day, I’ll probably see his doctor tomorrow, but at this stage I really didn’t care, I was just too tired. I’ll think of a plan later. I don’t think I was in bed for long when I fell asleep. I don’t know how long I slept until I woke up struggling to breath, I tried to open my eyes but a pillow was on my face, I tried to scream but nothing came out. I struggled, I was kicking like mad and was trying to get the pillow of my face but my hands where tied, then a shiver went through me as the person holding the pillow spoke “Jou bitch, jy weet wie ek is nè?” It was Anton he was speaking in our mother tongue Afrikaans saying “Bitch you know who I am right?” I couldn’t answer him I tried to shake my head, saying no. Then he pushed the pillow harder against my face now I couldn’t breathe at all, where the fuck is Bianca. He was screaming again “Jy lieg.” (You lying) I couldn’t answer him I was starting to loose consciousness and then I heard footsteps and Anton was pulled off me. I heard Massimo’s voice, saw his face as he pulled the pillow of my face then nothing.
Massimo
Luca drive like a maniac to get to the apartment, when we stopped in front of the building, Aldo and Davide also stopped, we threw the keys to the door man for him to move the vehicles. The doors open to the apartment, Marco and Aldo went looking for Bianca and the rest of us went looking for Bella. We could hear someone speak in a language we didn’t recognize. I was the first one to open the door to the bedroom where I found Anton standing over Bella busy suffocating her with a pillow. “You mother fucker.” I took him and threw him against the wall where Luca and Enzo restrained him. I took the pillow of Bella’s face she saw me but then passed out. I started CPR while Anton was screaming things I didn’t understand. Davide took out his phone and started to record what he was saying, obviously Bella will know what he was saying they were from the same country. Bella please breath I said between breaths. Then she took a long breath and my Bella was back. She opened her eyes and just looked at me then a tear rolled down her face. “You’re safe Bella, you’re safe.” Anton made the biggest mistake of his life, he looked at me and said “See how easy it was to get to your precious wife, I just needed one distraction and you all jumped. I pulled my gun from my back and pulled the trigger. “Luca, Enzo get rid of him.” When I look back at Bella she was in absolute shock, was it because I killed him in front of her or was it what that fucker did to her. Marco walked into the room “What Marco, where’s Bianca?” “Marco looked at Rachel then back at me, he looked sad when he looked at Rachel. “She’s dead boss.” That broke Bella, she started to sob uncontrollable her whole body was shaking. “Davide call the doctor.”
I tried holding Rachel to make her calm down but that didn’t help, Marco came into the room with a glass of sugar water, he gave it to her and she took it with shaky hands. I would have given her something stronger. I picked her up and carried her to the lounge, for the others to clean the room. As soon as I put her down, she ran to her office straight to the bathroom vomiting again. I was right behind her, holding her hair from her face. She just sat there. “Why did he have to kill her Massimo?” she said through tears. “He was a sick man, Bella. Who knows why he did it.” “He was here for me Massimo. He didn’t have to kill her.” Okay she wanted to sit on the bathroom floor discussing it. I sat next to her pulling her to me. “Why Bella? He spoke a language we didn’t understand.” “He was speaking Afrikaans it’s our mother tongue.” “What did he want?” “He wanted to kill me because he believed, I knew who he is and he thought I told the authorities.” “He was saying more stuff while you were unconscious, Davide recorded him.” “I’ll listen to it later.” “Bella can we please get up from the floor and go to the lounge, the doctor is also on his way.” Then Bella started crying again. “Why are you crying Bella? Is it because I shot him in front of you? Is it because of Bianca?” She got off the floor and started walking to the lounge without answering me. I didn’t want to scream at her although that was how I was feeling. Why didn’t she want to tell me what is wrong. I walked behind her to the kitchen where she made herself an Ice coffee. “You want something?” “No thank you I’ll get something stronger.” I went and poured myself a stiff drink, then saw my reflection and saw I had blood on my shirt. Maybe that was what was bothering her. “I’ll just go and change quickly.” She didn’t say anything. I went to the bathroom took a quick shower and dressed quickly. I saw Bella’s cloths lying on the floor, that was strange she never did that before. I picked it up and put it with my cloths in the laundry. When I entered the lounge Bella was sitting in a corner seat curled up, crying. “Bella please tell me what’s wrong?” “Was it me? Are you angry that I killed Anton.” “No Massimo, if I had a gun, I would have killed him myself, then what, is it Bianca?” “Yes, I’m sad about Bianca but there is something else, something I wanted to keep a secret as a Christmas gift for you, but now it might not even be possible.” Ah Bella that’s sweet but I don’t need a Christmas gift, I have you and that is more than I’ve ever expected this year.” “You would have wanted this gift Massimo.” “What do you mean would have?” “Because I don’t know if it’s still possible.” “Bella please spit it out.”
“I think I was pregnant Massimo.”
