Chapter 131
Rachel
I woke up with Massimo holding me. I must say I slept much better since he got into bed with me. Yes, I was angry at him, but he still makes me feel safe. I slept in the spare room, I just couldn’t go to our room alone, even when I went to change, I could hear Anton calling me a Bitch and I could feel the pillow on my face. I needed to get out of that room as soon as possible. That’s why I ended up in one of the spare rooms. I untangled myself from Massimo and went to the kitchen, I was so hungry I haven’t eaten the whole day. I smelled something delicious in the kitchen. I went searching for it. When I opened the stove there was garlic bread, lasagne and some of Massimo’s mom’s soup. I couldn’t wait, I was just too hungry, but I was in the mood for something with more substance, so I went for the lasagne, when I took the container out, I didn’t realised how hot it was and dropped it on the floor. It made a loud bang noise; I hoped it didn’t wake Massimo. I was just happy it didn’t break; I just might have cried. I got on my knees on the floor to wipe the bit that got on the floor. When I looked up Massimo was standing in front of me with his gun “What happened? What’s wrong?” “Sorry Massimo I dropped the lasagne; I didn’t realise how hot it was.” He put the gun down and took my hand and pulled me up. Then he turned my hand and saw it was red. He walked me over to the basin and put my hand under the cold water. “I’ll dish up. You sure your stomach can handle the lasagne?” “Only one way to find out, I’m really hungry Massimo and I’m hungry for solid foods.” “I’ll dish us some Bella, you want some garlic bread with that?” “Yes please.” Massimo got some plates out and dished us each a portion, he must have not eaten yet. “You want something to drink with that?” “A soda please.” He poured himself a drink took out a diet coke for me and took our plates to the dining room. We both sat there eating our late dinner in silence. I would catch him looking at me then he went back to his food. “This is delicious Massimo; I haven’t eaten all day.” “Then I hope you keep it down.” “Me to”
“Massimo” “Bella” we spoke at the same time. “You go first Bella.” “Thank you for coming to me in the spare room. I slept better with you there.” “Not a problem Bella, but why where you there?” “It was too soon to go back to our room, I could hear him, smell him and I could feel the pillow over my face. I know it’s stupid of me but I still felt all those things.” “It’s not stupid sweetheart, I thought you didn’t want me with you.” “I’ll always want you with me Massimo, you make me feel safe.” “Even though I reacted like an asshole.” “Yes, love even though you reacted like a asshole.” “I’m sorry Bella, really, I am. I had all these emotions going through me 100 miles an hour, from anger, happiness, sadness and I’m petrified. I didn’t know how to deal with it, so I became an asshole.” “Where you angry at me?” “God no Bella, I was angry at myself. I was angry that Anton got into the apartment, that he killed Bianca. The fact he put his hands on you. That made me angrier than anything else.” “Where you really angry at me and Marco for keeping the pregnancy from you?” “No Bella I’m not. It was just the first thing I could grab onto. I needed someone to be angry at and unfortunately it was you. I will never forgive myself if you lose the baby Rachel, never.” “But it’s not your fault Massimo.” “I should have more men with you, it shouldn’t have just be you and Bianca.” “And what then Massimo he might have killed everyone that was with me, then we didn’t just lost Bianca but more people. You made the right decision for the information you had Massimo. None of us would have ever thought he had it in him to do this.” “I’m supposed to be able to see things coming Bella. I was supposed to see it was a trap.” “Massimo you are very good but you can’t possible calculate everyone’s next steps.” “Maybe not Bella, but I should keep you safe. That’s my top priority.” “You were here in time Massimo, I’m still here.” “But was I? We’ll only know tomorrow.” We both got quiet and ate our food again. I whispered softly “I’m sure our baby is fine Massimo.” A tear slipped town my cheek. Massimo came and sat between my legs on the floor, pulling me to him. “I’m sure everything is fine Bella; I’m petrified it’s not but we need to be positive.” “I know Massimo.” Then I started to cry, really cry. He stood up and pulled me from the chair, we were standing next to the table Massimo just holding me. “Everything is going to be okay Bella, I promise.” “You can’t promise that Massimo.” “I know sweetheart.” He picked me up and carried me to the lounge where he sat with me on his lap.
Trying to get my mind of everything that happened he changed the subject. “I was thinking, maybe we should go look at houses, it will be safer and there will be more space for the kids to run around. Something like the Hamptons home.” “Oh, Massimo I love your Hamptons home.” I said through sobs. “Don’t get me wrong I love the apartment to, but your house is stunning. I can see our kids running around on the beach and swimming in the pool.” “So, you think buying a house will be a good idea?” “Yes, I think so.” “Then I’ll get in touch with an estate agent tomorrow.” “Don’t you want to wait until we have kids Massimo? At the moment your close to your parents to the club and restaurant and not to talk about your new building.” “We’ll still be close to everything Bella you know I do own a helicopter right.” He teased me. That made me giggle. “I’m glad I could make you laugh a bit sweetheart. You ready to go back to bed.” “Yes Massimo.” We walked hand in hand to the spare room. When we got into bed Massimo pulled my back to his front and gave me a kiss in my neck. “You feeling better sweetheart?” “Yes, thank you Massimo.” He gave me another kiss in my neck. “Sleep sweetheart, you’ll need your rest. Tomorrow will be a big day.” With those words I drifted of.
