Chapter 193
Rachel
Frank arrived exactly an hour later, I hoped he would be late to give me more time but no he was on time. Marco brought him through to the lounge. Massimo thought I’d be more at ease in a comfortable setting and not his office that would be more formal. “Hi Frank” Massimo greeted him. “Massimo.” Was all he said then he walked to me and greeted me with the hand “Sorry we had to see each other again under these circumstances.” He greeted me. “Hello Frank. Can I get you something to drink?” “Just a glass of water please.” “I’ll get it Bella; can I get you one to?” “Yes please.” Massimo left Frank and me alone for a few minutes getting the water. “I’m ready whenever you are Rachel?” “Should I tell you everything?” “Everything you could remember yes.” “I don’t want Massimo to get into trouble.” “He won’t Rachel, I promise you that. I just need to know everything that happened to be able to write a proper statement that will help everyone.” “Okay then. Let me start at the beginning. I went to town with Danielle to thank the florist and baker for everything they did on such short notice for our wedding. Then Danielle and I went to a coffee shop. When we finish in the coffee shop and walked out, both of us knew something was wrong because Marco wasn’t at his post and the 2 vehicles weren’t park in front of the coffee shop. That’s when someone grabbed me and Danielle, I tried to fight but they got me anyway, they put me in a black car. I must have fought to much because they injected me with a sanative.” Massimo came back into the room and gave me and Frank our water. I took a big sip and put it back on the table. Frank was waiting patiently for me to continue. I thought he would ask questions as I went a long but so far, no questions. “I passed out and only woke up in a dark room shackled to the bed, hands and feet. I tried to look around me to make sure where I was and what was around me. That’s when Ricci and Anton came in, Anton was behind Ricci the whole time. He started to tell me how I was bait for Massimo and he wanted him dead and that he was sure by taking me Massimo will storm his house without thinking. Luckily Massimo didn’t do that.” “Yes, Bella but I should have then the rest wouldn’t have happened.” “No Massimo you shouldn’t have because then you’ll be dead and that is a much worse outcome.” Massimo just shook his head he wasn’t convince his tactics worked. Frank was just an observer he didn’t interrupt us, he just listened. “Anyway I asked them to untie me because I was in a very uncomfortable position, I didn’t tell them we where married or I was pregnant at least they didn’t see that. Anton walked forward undid my hand and feet and only tied one to the bed with a long chain. For me to be able to use the bucket as a toilet.” “Cazzo” was all Massimo said. By this time in our relationship, I knew it meant fucket. “A young girl brought me water and sandwiches but I didn’t eat I was too scared the food where poisoned. I could see she was also kept there against her will, they grabbed her and threw her out the dungeon where they kept me, if she took too long. By the 3rd day Anton got angry because Massimo wasn’t there yet and they couldn’t kill him yet, so he started to get violent with me. He grabbed me…” I stopped and took a sip of my water, just to compose myself. Massimo was rubbing my leg to comfort me, for going through this again. “He grabbed me pulled my pants and panties of and wanted to rape me. I fought him, I tried to kick and scream but he already told the guard no matter what he hears he shouldn’t interrupt. Apparently, I fought to much for him because he hit me a few times until I was unconscious. Then he raped me. Before you ask how I know that was what happened, I was bleeding when I woke up. He did it 2 more times the last time it was cut short because Damon blast through the wall.” “And he knocked you out every time?” “Yes I wasn’t just going to give it to him.” “No don’t misunderstand me Rachel, I believe you I just want to know if he hit you unconscious every time. That will give us an indication what we should test the other girls for that Massimo and Damon rescued. He probable knock them unconscious on several occasions, if that’s his MO. “Oh okay, sorry I got offended.” “No need. And then when Damon came?” “He put me in the back of an SUV on the floor and made sure I was secure before he went looking for the rest. But when everything got quiet around me, I thought it would be a good idea to look out the window and that’s when Anton saw me and dragged me to Massimo and the rest of the men. All I remembered about that was the fact that he tried to bargain with a ledger then I passed out and woke up in the hospital.” “That’s all you remember?” “Yes” “Okay, Massimo anything you want to ad? Will we get the black car if we go and look for it?” “Yes, you will but it’s burned out with the guy Danielle shot in it.” “I guess it's near the Hamptons?” “That will be correct, it’s where they changed cars apparently, they didn’t give a shit about leaving someone behind.” “Anything else, other evidence you got rid of?” “Just the Ricci house with them all in the house.” “Except that Massimo?” Frank asked very irritated. “No just the black car with a body in.” “Okay I’m sure I can keep everyone’s hands clean in this except off course for the Ricci’s and Anton. May I ask where he is?” “I can honestly say I don’t know. I do know his dead.” “Thank you for the honesty Massimo.” “You know I’ll always be honest with you Frank.” Frank just smiled at Massimo. “Rachel thank you, and I promise you, you won’t need to tell anyone else you’re story again. But if you don’t mind, I will suggest you go and see a therapist, it will be best for you. I promise.” “Thank you Frank I’ll think about it.” “Please do.” “I’ll see you out Frank” Massimo said and walked him to the door. When Massimo came back, he helped me of the couch and got me in the best bear hug I’ve ever had from him. “I’m so proud of you sweetheart.” “Thank you Massimo, it was better than I thought.” “Good” “But know I need a nap Massimo that took everything out of me.” “Let me walk you to our room. I have work to do so I can’t join you sorry.” “No Massimo you work I need to keep these babies safe and happy and sleep will make all 3 of us happy.” He gave me a kiss made sure I was cosy in bed then went to his office. “I fell asleep with Frank’s words in my head “go see a therapist it will be good for you.” “Just maybe this time will be different.” I told myself.
