Chapter 157
Massimo
I need to call Damon, but I really didn’t want to, he’s going to freak out and go bat shit crazy. But I can’t postpone this phone call anymore. I dialled his number with the hope he doesn’t answer. “Hello Massimo, what’ going on?” Hi Damon, more problems unfortunately.” “For fuck sakes what did the Ricci’s do now?” “They had someone follow Rachel, she’s okay and we got the guy, Davide and Aldo drove him of the road, he’s dead.” “Good, so what’s the problem?” “The problem is the guy’s phone, it had photos of me, Rachel and all my men with the heading shoot to kill.” “Yes and? You keeping something from me Massimo.” “There were photos of you and Dani as well and all your men. With Dani’s photo the instruction was catch and her real name was under the photo Damon. The rest of you was also shoot to kill.” “Fuck, fuck Massimo, for fuck sakes, I’m going to kill the son of a bitches I’m going to kill all of them.” “Damon you can’t march up there and kill them all, we need a plan and we need a solid plan to take them all out together.” “And what do I do with Dani in the meantime Massimo, she’s not safe anywhere.” “None of us are safe Damon. What I will suggest is come up to us earlier in fact come today, we really don’t mind and you know the house is big enough we won’t hear each other.” “I’ll check with Dani she’s waiting for a delivery we can maybe come up later today.” “No worries, Damon, but please I’m begging you don’t do anything now, you’ll only get yourself killed and that won’t help Dani at all.” “I’m hearing you Massimo.” “But will you listen Damon?” “Yes, it goes against everything I stand for but yes, I’ll wait. You know if someone threatens me or someone, I care for I want to take care of the problem immediately.” “I know Damon but sometimes you need to wait for the right time.” “Yes, Massimo I hear you, we’ll see you later this afternoon or early tomorrow. I’ll let you know later.” “Okay Damon keeps safe.” “You to Massimo.” I disconnect the call, I felt relieve, maybe Damon was getting wiser with age.
I went looking for Bella and found her in the kitchen with Francesca, talking about the snacks for the wedding. “There you are love we deciding on the snacks for the wedding anything in particular you want” “No sweetheart whatever you two decide is good with me.” “What’s wrong Massimo?” “Nothing Bella, I just want to let you know I asked Damon if they could come earlier, it will be safer for them here especially Dani.” “Will it really?” “Yes, Bella it will, we notice people much quicker here than in the city.” “If it’s safer for them then I don’t have any problem with it, you know we won’t be able to keep the wedding a secret from them if they are here.” “If that’s a problem I can tell Damon to come later.” “Massimo, I don’t have a problem with them coming earlier or if they know I’m just stating a fact.” “It’s not necessary to get upset with me Rachel, I just want to keep everyone safe, that’s all I’m trying to do.” “Kill the fucken Ricci’s and all our problems will be over!” She screamed at me and walked away. I stood in the kitchen not sure what the fuck just happened.
Rachel
After Massimo told me I was being followed, I stopped him and told him I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t want to think about the Ricci’s not after yesterday, it didn’t mean I wasn’t upset or angry. I was trying to be positive and concentrate on the wedding. Something that should be a happy occasion, not when are one of us being shot? I tried to talk to Massimo in a happy voice trying to be excited about the wedding, but deep down I was boiling. Boiling about the Ricci’s and all the shit they are putting us through.
I was standing in the kitchen talking to Francesca about the menu for the wedding. Yes, officially people invited is just 4 but with all the men makes us a few. Massimo walked into the kitchen I could see there was something on his mind. “There you are love we deciding on the snacks for the wedding anything in particular you want” “No sweetheart whatever you two decide is good with me.” “What’s wrong Massimo?” “Nothing Bella, I just want to let you know I asked Damon if they could come earlier, it will be safer for them here especially Dani.” I was starting to boil over and I slipped, I asked him sarcastically “Will it really?” “Yes, Bella it will, we notice people much quicker here than in the city.” “If it’s safer for them then I don’t have any problem with it, you know we won’t be able to keep the wedding a secret from them if they are here.” He was the one that wanted a surprise wedding now the only guest except his parents will be in on the secret, how the fuck did that work. “If that’s a problem I can tell Damon to come later.” What the fuck he already told Damon to come earlier now he wants to tell them not to. “Massimo, I don’t have a problem with them coming earlier or if they know I’m just stating a fact.” “It’s not necessary to get upset with me Rachel, I just want to keep everyone safe, that’s all I’m trying to do.” I looked him straight in the eyes and screamed, “Kill the fucken Ricci’s and all our problems will be over!” I turn around and stormed away. Everything is falling to pieces the so called surprise wedding, the so called ‘get away’ everything because of them. I know I was overreacting but I just had enough for the day. I stormed to the room got undress and got into bed, if there is one thing, I can do good since I’m pregnant it’s sleep. So that’s what I did. Maybe tomorrow will look better.
