Chapter 156
Massimo
“For fuck sakes can’t the fuckin people leave us the fuck alone” I screamed at Luca over the phone. Apparently, someone was following Rachel. “Davide and Aldo are on it boss.” “Just keep Rachel safe and don’t tell her, I’ll tell her when she gets home.” “Okay boss.” I need to find someone to marry us but I’m preoccupied with this whole situation, it can only be the Ricci’s. One crisis at a time. I phone Davide, “Davide what’s going on?” “We chasing him out of the Hamptons boss as soon as we got him, I’ll let you know.” I didn’t even say goodbye I just ended the call. I was walking up and down in my office going crazy, I was constantly on the phone with Luca making sure Rachel is okay. It felt like hours before Davide phoned back. “You got him Davide?” “We ran him of the road boss, he’s dead, we’re searching his car now before the emergency vehicle arrives.” “Bring everything you can find.” Then I disconnect again. Thank fuck another one dead, but this is getting too close for comfort. One crisis diverted for now next one.
I took out my phone and contact a Priest I new, “Hi Calum, How are you?” “Hi Massimo, No complaints and you?” “Very well thank you, I’m getting married and wanted to know if you could marry us?” “I’d love to, when?” “That’s where the problem is, the 31st Dec at midnight.” “This 31st?” “Yes Calum.” “It’s like in 3 days Massimo.” “I’m aware. Will you be able to do it?” “I’m doing the midnight service but let me see if I can get someone to stand in for me.” “You’ll do that?” “Off course Massimo, I can always rely on you when I need help.” “Thank you, Calum, it will mean the world to me.” “Give me an hour and I’ll get back to you.” “Thank you, and Calum, I’ll send the helicopter for you and you can stay over if you want to.” “Thank you, Massimo.” “Talk later.”
I just finished my call with Calum when Davide and Aldo walked into the office. “And?” “The Ricci’s send him, Ricci’s lieutenants name and number is in his phone. With photos of all of us, that’s why he tried to get away when he recognized us.” “Any instructions?” “Yes boss” “Well spill it Davide!” “Shoot to kill, any of these individuals.” “Fuck fuck, then why did he try to get away?” “He didn’t get time, to try and take a shot, boss.” “You holding something back Davide.” “There is more boss.” Then he gave me the phone, “Fuck, fuck, I’ll need to warn him.” I basically screamed. I heard Bella’s footsteps, but she didn’t come to the office. Maybe better that way. “Boss you want me to inform Ghost so long.” “Yes Davide, I’ll phone Damon later, but please inform Ghost so long.” They left my office and I went looking for Rachel I needed to see her and make sure she was indeed okay.
I found her in the kitchen, making an espresso for me and an ice coffee for herself. I just stood at the entrance and looked at her. She was so beautiful and pregnant with my twins I could feel how my chest was growing with pride but also fear, fear that something will happen to them, before I can do something. “You going to stand there the whole day or are you going to greet your wife to be?” I walked over to her and gave her a kiss, a kiss that was so desperate I’m sure she could taste it. “What’s wrong Massimo? And don’t tell me nothing I heard you yelling and I saw Davide and Aldo in town.” “You were followed Rachel, Davide and Aldo took care of it.” “The Ricci’s?” “Yes.” “Okay I don’t want to talk about it further, not now. I found a place that will do our flowers, I even brought a flower into the arrangements that is originally from South Africa, the Protea.” “I’ve never seen a Protea before.” She quickly took out her phone and showed me the photo. “Oh, is that what it’s called.” “Yes Massimo. And here taste this with your espresso, I ordered 30 of them as well.” She gave me a petit fours “It’s delicious” “That’s what I thought. Did you get someone to marry us?” “I spoke to a priest friend of mine and he’ll get back to me in the next hour but I’m sure he’ll do it.” “Oh, Massimo everything is coming together.” “Yes sweetheart.” Now if the fucken Ricci’s can just stay in New York for the next 3 days. “Come show me the space you were thinking of Massimo.” I took her to the dining room and slide the doors close behind us. “Oh, wow now I see what you mean, this will work perfectly and when we open it the space is much bigger, I ordered an arch that will serve as an altar.” “You thought of everything sweetheart.” “That remind me did you contact the girls for my hair and make-up?” “Yes, Bella I did.” She ran to me and threw herself in my arms. “Thank you, Massimo.” “My pleasure sweetheart” My phone rang and it was Calum. “I need to take it Bella, I’ll go to my office.” “No problem, Massimo.” You would never say I just told her she was being followed an hour ago.
“Calum, that was quick.” “It’s because someone owed me a favour.” “Awesome does this mean you’ll do it?” “Yes Massimo, I’ll do it, but I’ll need to get back afterwards, I have morning service.” “No problem the helicopter will be on stand by for you.” “Thank you, Massimo.” “No thank you Calum, and Calum if you see my parents don’t tell them it’s a surprise.” “No worries.” We disconnected.
Now I had to make a call to Damon that I really didn’t want to.
