Chapter 175
Rachel
I woke up much later tied to a bed in a cold concrete room. I started to panicked, I tried to pull at my ties but felt it’s useless, I was just hurting myself. I tried to look around there was shackles hanging from the roof, a chair bolted to the ground underneath that was a drain. There was a bucket in the corner of the room. I realised it’s a torture room. The place smelled like blood and death it made me nauseas. There was a very small window with big bars infront of it. No way to escape, fuck. I heard a rattle at the door and close my eyes again. The person walked in and came standing right next to me. “You can open your eyes Rachel; I saw you where awake.” I open my eyes and looked into the face of the man I met the first time I went to a club in New York, Ricci Snr was standing over me. “What do you want?” I asked him with the same attitude I had earlier in the day. “That’s a very silly question child, you know exactly what I want?” “Humour me” I hissed at him. “If you want to play dumb fine. I want your husband dead but first I’m going to make him watch how I kill you.” I went ice cold. I just stared at him not losing eye contact. I’m not going to show him I’m scared. “And you think you’ll get my h..” shit I almost told him where married. “Your what?” he hissed at me. “You think you’ll get Massimo?” “Off course, I’m very sure he will charge through my front door any minute now, without thinking anything through.” “I think you are underestimating Massimo.” “No dear Rachel, I’m not.” “Why do you want him dead in any case?” “That’s my business.” “Why wouldn’t you tell me if I’m dead anyway, then you can tell me.” “That’s true, because he killed my first born.” “And that’s the only reason?” “Off course not bitch” Clearly, I touch a sensitive subject. “Then what?” Rachel, you playing with fire, I thought. “I want the whole city to belong to me, if I know Massimo, he’ll probable bring his lapdog Damon with and that’s just what I want. If Massimo and Damon are out of the way, New York City will be mine.” “Are you hallucinating?” I asked him. He didn’t like that he slapped me so hard in the face that my lip was bleeding. You have to do more than that to hurt me, I thought. “Something wrong Ricci?” “You’re a mouthy one, aren’t you? I might just have fun with you.” “You know he’ll kill you right?” “I want him to try sweetheart.” That word out of his mouth sounded revolting I wanted to scream don’t call me that, but I also know if I do that, he will keep on doing it because it bothers me. “Could you please untie me?” “I don’t think so.” I looked around as far as I could see. “Where would I go?” The man standing behind Ricci came into sight if I wasn’t mistaken it was his bodyguard, Anton. “We’ll shackle her leg to the bed boss.” “Fine do it.” “I need a bathroom.” “There’s a bucket you could use.” He motioned to the bucket I saw earlier. Gross. Anton undid my hands then he went to my feet. I rubbed my wrist when the shackles were off. He put a long chain to the bed with a shackled which was tied to the bed. “Thank you” I said under my breath. “Ah look Anton she’s got manners. Not that it will help her later.” They turned around and walked out and left me alone. I prayed that Massimo will calm down and come up with a proper plan before he comes for me. We needed to keep our babies safe. The longer he takes the longer our babies are safe. At least he didn’t see I was pregnant I don’t know what he would do if he found out about that. I curled up in a bundle, I think the seriousness of everything caught up with me, all the adrenaline where leaving my body, I started to cry.
Massimo
“Damon, we need to get her now.” “I know Massimo but he’s expecting that let’s sit down and think. Davide came into my office. “Boss, Ghost, Brad, Luca and Marco phoned they want to come home. Should I go and fetch them?” “What does the doctors say?” “They are advising against it but they said if I don’t come, they’ll walk.” “Then I guess you should go and get them, when you get back, I want everyone in my office.” “Okay boss.” Davide left. I was a hot mess. I’ve never felt like this before. “Massimo call the other families, let them go and do surveillance at the warehouses then we’ll know what’s going on, if all the men are at the house, we know we need to get everyone there.” God was I happy Damon where here I couldn’t think straight my whole life is gone; I couldn’t concentrate. I immediately phone Ramano “Massimo it’s late, what’s wrong?” They took my wife I need your men to go to the warehouse om the east side and take the men out, if there is any. Let me know please. If all the men are at the house, we will need your guys to come with us.” “Anytime Massimo, I’ll send the men now.” I disconnected and phoned Costa “Massimo what’s wrong?” he answered “They took my wife; I need your guys.” “Where?” If you could check the warehouse on the west side, kill the fuckers that is there if no one is there then we know they are all at the house. I’ll need your men to go with us when I go to rescue her.” “No problem. I’ll keep in touch.” My last call was to Edcardo, I know his wife was also kidnapped before, so this was close to home. “Massimo” he answered “Edcardo the Ricci’s kidnapped my wife.” “The mother fuckers. What do you need?” “I need your men to go to their place and check it out. We are in the Hamptons, some of my men was hurt we driving through in the next few hours. Just do surveillance we need to know how many men were up against.” “Will do Massimo. I’m sure Ricci thought you where going to storm his house without a plan.” “I almost did.” “I’m glad you didn’t, I’ll keep you updated.” “Everything set?” Damon asked. “Yes, we got the 2 warehouses covered and Edcardo’s men is going to Ricci’s house to do surveillance and see how many men he has around the house.” “Good when the men are back, we can plan how to get Rachel back.” I got up and poured Damon and myself a strong drink. Fuck I should have seen this coming.
