Chapter 192
Massimo
“Mr Marchetti, we saw you were in town and decided to check in on you and asked for those statements we haven’t received yet.” That arrogant officer said. “It’s an FBI matter at the moment and they will send you the statements as soon as they are ready.” “How? How is it an FBI case?” That annoying officer said again. “Officer, you hurt Mr Marchetti, let’s wait for the FBI.” My contact said. That’s when the report about the fire came over the radio. “We’ll have to leave you, but please make sure we get does statements.” The officer said. Just before they left my contact looked at me, basically asking me if I had anything to do with the fire, I just shrugged. Then they left. Ghost was standing behind me the whole time. “You better get Frank to contact that officer, his like a dog with a bone. I’m sure you don’t want him to dig.” “I’ll speak to Frank today, Ghost, don’t worry.” We all went to the kitchen got something to eat and got ready to go back to New York. When the chopper took of you could see the spoke of the fire. I felt a sense of accomplishment. 45 min later we landed on our building. I couldn’t wait to see Bella; I missed not waking up with her.
As I walked into the penthouse, I could hear she was busy in the kitchen. “Honey I’m home!” She walked out of the kitchen and ran to me. I had to think quickly because she jumped into my arms. “I guess you missed me.” “I did. I missed waking up next to you.” “Me too sweetheart.” “Did you get Nikki?” “Yes, Bella we did. She’s going to need a lot of help, maybe surgery and definitely therapy.” “Is it that bad?” “Worst Bella, much worst. What are you up to?” “I’m making some coffee and a sandwich. You want some?” “No thank you, Francesca fed us before we left.” “She’s a good woman.” “I brought your wedding dress and all your other cloths we left in the house.” “Oh, thank you Massimo, I really want to save my wedding dress for our daughter one day.” “That would be very special Bella.” We walked to the kitchen and I sat with Bella while she ate. I was so happy to see her eating. “Bella how do you feel about giving your statement to Frank today the police in the Hamptons are getting a bit persistent. They came to the house while we were there this morning.” “If Frank can come here, I’ll have no problem, Massimo, the sooner I get this done the sooner we can go on with our life.” Okay Bella, I’ll contact him now and asked him if he could come over today.” “Thank you.” I gave her quick kiss and went to my office.
I dialled Frank’s number “Hi Frank.” “Massimo?” “You busy today?” I’m always busy, what do you want?” “Is it possible to come and take Rachel’s statement today? The Hamptons police are on my case about the statement.” “Tell them it’s an FBI case.” “I did, they still want a statement as soon as possible.” “Okay Massimo, should I come to you?” “Yes, please Rachel will prefer that she’s still a bit scared of going out.” “Okay Massimo, I’ll be there in an hour.” “Thank you Frank.”
Rachel
I woke up without Massimo and I felt alone and cold, alone like I felt in the cell at the Ricci’s. I pulled the duvet tighter around me to get rid of this alone, cold feeling I had inside of me. Then I felt the babies move again, it felt like butterflies in my stomach. That’s when I realised, I need to get over this and live for my children. I can’t bring them into the world broken. And that’s how I felt broken. I can’t feel this way anymore. I need to work through this and if it means going to a therapist until Massimo decides about the sex club, then I’ll try it again. I got up and took a very warm shower, just to get rid of this cold feeling. I got dressed in my warmest cloths I had, but I still felt cold. “This will also past Rachel” I told myself it has to, nothing last forever. I went to the kitchen and made myself a warm cup of coffee, yes, I’m the Ice latte girl but maybe I can warm myself from the inside out. I made myself a sandwich and that’s when I heard Massimo coming back “Honey I’m home” I ran to him and jumped into his arms. He held me before he put me down. “Guess you missed me” “Yes, I did.” He sat with me while I ate my sandwich. He asked me if I’ll be able to give my statement to Frank today. I said yes because when will I ever be ready, but I also know I need to get this over with. Massimo went to his office to call Frank. I was sitting at the table wondering what can I say and can’t I say. When Massimo came back, I was still sitting at the dining room table with a half-eaten sandwich. “What’s wrong Bella?” “What can I say?” “You can tell Frank everything Bella.” “Even what happened when you guys showed up?” “Yes Bella, you can tell him that as well, he’ll know what to put in the report and what not to. You don’t need to be scared.” “But I am Massimo, I don’t want you to get into trouble.” “Rachel look at me” he gave me time to look at him before he said anything else. “Nothing you say will get me into trouble I promise you that, Frank and I have an understanding he’ll know what to put in and what not. But he also needs all the information to be able to put a story together that will be believable and the truth at the same time.” “Okay I understand, I’ll try my best.” “I’ll be with you the whole time; you don’t need to worry at all Bella.” “Thank you, Massimo, I’ll definitely need your support.” “You’ll always have it sweetheart, always.” “When will he be here?” “In an hour.” “Then I’ll probably need to put some make up on to hide these bruises.” “No, Bella don’t do that, he’ll probable wants to take pictures of your injuries. I know they did in the hospital, but he’ll want to take of your face. You don’t need to show him any other part of your body.” “Okay and you’ll be with me the whole time?” “Yes Bella” he gave me a kiss on the head. “Now finish your sandwich.” I’m not hungry anymore, maybe after Frank was here.” “Bella, you need to eat.” “I know, can we just leave it for now please Massimo?” “Fine” I could see he wasn’t happy, but though shit I wasn’t feeling particular happy anymore. I have to relieve everything that happened to me. I know I had to, but I really didn’t want to.
