Chapter 204
Massimo
As soon as I got in the office I type an e-mail to the Ramano, Costa’s and Edcardo family. All it said was the meeting was of utmost importance and everyone should attend no excuses. I also made it load and clear that I’m in charge and that I don’t need to send an agenda or any form of communication for them to attend a meeting. They selected me as head and they will do as I say. They are probable not happy with the e-mail but that is what it is. I was busy sorting out problem at the new building when Marco phoned. “Marco what’s wrong?” “I’m not sure boss Rachel asked me to ask you to come home her brother just got here with Herman and he is very angry at her.” “Will he hurt her?” “She said no boss.” “I’m on my way, keep an eye on them Marco.” “Will do boss.” Luca drive as fast as he could back to the apartment building. When I walked in Marco and Luca was by my side and it was just as Bella told her brother she was kidnapped. She screamed it at him and she was crying. I didn’t like to see my Bella upset. I walked over to her and held her. I extended my hand to Herman and he greeted me. When I looked at Marco it looked like he was on the verge of killing Rachel’s brother. Luca gave me a look, looking for instructions, but this looked like something I could handle it’s just family drama. “It’s okay guys” They turned around and walked out. Marco on the other hand stayed at the front door he was not a fan of Rachel’s brother.
“Massimo, I like you to meet my brother Adri.” “Nice to meet you Adri.” I said extending my hand. He took my hand but it was clear as day he was making assumptions about me. “Massimo” was all her brother said. “What brings you to New York City?” “It’s a long story.” “I’m sure we all have time to listen. It looks like you forced your sister to tell you what happened to her why can’t I pressure you on what you doing here?” “She’s my sister and I have the right to know what happened to her.” “You might be her brother but I’m her husband and she’s carrying our babies and you are upsetting her.” “You want me to leave?” “If I wanted you to leave I would have let Luca and Marco escort you out of the building, so if that answer your question.” “Then you tell me why my sister was kidnapped.” “After you tell us what you doing here. As you can see your sister is upset and I would like her to calm down before we talk about it.” “You the reason she was kidnapped.” He accused me. Rachel jumped up “Adri genoeg! Wat maak jy hier?” I didn’t understand a word they were saying but it was clear Rachel was upset. “Rachel please don’t get to upset.” “It’s too late for that Massimo.” “Adri I give you 10 minutes to tell us what you want or what you doing here, it’s clear your presence are upsetting Rachel.” “Or what Massimo you going to get rid of me to?” “Adri genoeg!” Stop jou kak nou!” (Adri enough! Stop your shit now.) If you keep on upsetting Rachel, I’ll let Marco escort you out of the building and you won’t be able to see your sister ever again, that’s what I’ll do. Now what are you doing here.” That must have gotten his attention. He looked at Rachel and said “Mom and dad send me to look for Henry.” “You know Henry is dead.” “Yes, I know that but how do I tell them that.” “You don’t” “Henry told them his coming to come and get you and bring you home Rachel and now not one of you returned.” I interrupted them “So if I’m understanding this conversation correctly, your parents send you to look for Rachel’s ex but when Rachel was alone in a new country no one came to look for her, but know that Henry isn’t coming back they bought you a ticket to come over here to do what?” “To look for Henry and Rachel.” Rachel’s brother explained. “They never liked him why would they want you to get us back?” “You know Henry Rachel he spinned them a story.” “What story? I guess I’m the bad guy in this story?” I had to calm the situation down because it was clear Rachel was getting worked up again. “Bella, it doesn’t matter what story he told your parents his dead and we just need a story they would believe.” “No Massimo I want to know what I did this time why would my parents spend money they don’t have on a ticket for my brother to come to New York City to get me and Henry. This should be a very good story. And the biggest question I have is why my brother came, because he knows what happened and where Henry is?” “Bella please.” “No Massimo, Adri answer me.”
Rachel
I was shaking from anger; I knew it wasn’t good for the babies but every word coming from my brother’s mouth made me angrier and angrier. The fact that my parents listened to the shit Henry told them made me want to say I don’t have parents anymore and I don’t even know what he said. Adri got the balls and said, “He told them you are pregnant with someone else’s baby and that is why you ran away.” “Yes and?” I was fuming, what did that matter we were divorced. “He said he still loves you and would care for the child as if it’s his own. And that he will bring you and the baby back to them.” “You knew that was a lie Adri, but still you came.” “You know how manipulative mom can be. She said things like you are her only daughter and although you two don’t see eye to eye she still loves you and she just wants what’s best for you and the baby and Henry will be good for you and the baby. And they couldn’t go on if you weren’t there with your baby.” “That’s bullshit and you know it, Henry. And I don’t believe for a minute mom didn’t know he was abusing me, she’s not dumb.” “I do know that, but what should I have done, told them Henry was dead, you have a boyfriend that’s in the mafia and you never coming back.” “Well, something like that yes.” “You can’t be serious Rachel.” “I am. I’m never coming back to South Africa Adri and after mom believed everything Henry told her, I’m not even going to invite them to our wedding or let her meet her grandchildren.” “You can’t do that Rachel; it will break her.” “And what about me Adri, what about every time Henry broke me, does that not count for anything, does that not give me a valid reason to run away and stay away.” “It does or else I wouldn’t have given you the money for the ticket.” “Then why couldn’t you just have made up a story and not came looking for me?”
