Chapter 223
Massimo
Rachel and I went for a late dinner in town. Luca made sure to avoid all streets that will take us pass the coffee shop. We ordered our food a red wine for me and a mock tail for Rachel. “Bella there’s something we need to talk about.” “Is it about the new house?” “No Bella, while you were sleeping Bernardi phoned, he wants me to get there as soon as possible. The Cartel is moving in on Mafia territory, Bernardi wants me to negotiate that they leave Italy.” “Massimo, I know nothing about the drug business or the Cartels but my common sense are telling me if the Cartel are making money, they won’t withdraw no matter what the deal is you make.” “I know that as well Bella, but I must try to negotiate.” “I understand Massimo.” “When do you want to go through?” “As soon as possible.” “But we just got here.” “I know Bella I’m sorry.” “I’m sure I’ll be okay if you leave Marco with me.” “No Bella you coming with, when will we have a change to go to Italy alone again. There’re places I want to show you and with the twins coming we won’t be able to do that for a while.” “Oh, wow Massimo, I thought you wouldn’t want me with you, with the negotiating with the Cartel and everything.” “You right I wouldn’t want you close to the Cartel, but I’ll have Marco, Davide and Aldo with you when I’m busy negotiating. If you okay with that?” “Off course I’m okay with that, can I still go walk around in town while you busy?” “Yes, Bella that’s why I’m letting Davide, Aldo and Marco stay with you at all times.” “Then I’m good. Massimo I never thought I’ll ever see Italy.” “Well Bella then we’ll go back to New York tomorrow and fly to Italy the next day.” “I can’t wait”
We went home after dinner; Bella was still tired from her sanative. I carried her to the room then went to the office to contact the pilot and make reservations for us at the San Domenico Palace Hotel. I loved the San Domenico Palace Hotel because their terraces overlook Mount Etna and the Bay on Taormina. Some of the rooms even has their own balcony’s. The Hotel also had the best restaurants and bars that serves Sicilian cuisine, I always stay at the San Domenico Palace and I hope Bella will love it to. I got to bed and Bella was having a nightmare she was rolling around in bed, moaning and not the good kind of moan. I got in bed and pulled her to me, she immediately got calmer. Thank God for that. The next morning Bella packed a few things she left at the house the previous time. When we got downstairs, Luca and Marco were ready with our coffee’s. “Thank you, guy’s,” Bella said. Bella and I got back into the Lamborghini, “Try to keep up Luca.” “Try not to drive so fast boss.” But off course I didn’t listen I never get a change to ride in the Lamborghini, so when I do get my chance, I’m definitely going to take it. “How’s the weather like in Italy this time of year? Is it winter or summer?” “February is called short winter, Bella.” “Oh, I thought I’ll be able to go for a swim.” “Unfortunately, not Bella. But there is much to do.”
Rachel
I was excited to go to Italy, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I’ll ever see Italy. I was surprised that he wanted me to go with him this time I knew he was going more for business than fun, but if there is something I realized about Massimo is that he will always make time for me. That make me warm all over because it meant he will always make time for his children as well. When we got back to the apartment, Luca and Marco was miles behind us. We got to the apartment I unpacked and then we heard the elevators going open. Massimo stood in the foyer looking smug. “Yes, okay Boss.” Was all Luca said. “Luca we’re leaving for Italy tomorrow I want all the men to go with. Please organized it. Marco, Davide and Aldo will be with Rachel and you and Enzo will come with me to negotiate with the Cartel.” Massimo said. I left the men to do their thing. I went looking for something to make for dinner, I did find some of Mamma Rossa’s lasagna so I put that in the oven. Then I went back to our room to decide what to pack. Massimo came into the room “Everything sorted out?” “Yes Bella” “What are you doing?” “Deciding what to pack for our trip. How long are we going to be away?” “Pack for 2 weeks, if we want to come home earlier, we always can.” “The perks of having your own plane.” I teased him. “If not why not.” I laughed “I put some lasagna in the oven Massimo, I’m telling you because I might forget.” “I heard of this thing called pregnancy brain. Is that what you have?” “Probable I’m getting forgetful. That’s why I want to put out all the clothes on the bed for each day.” “Maybe an evening dress or two as well Bella.” “Why?” “We never know.” “Will I be meeting Bernardi?” “I’m not so sure Bella, we’ll play it by ear. I would rather not have the Cartel lay eyes on you yet, preferable never.” “I would prefer that as well Massimo.” “Wait I’m smelling something” He ran out of the room. “Bella the lasagna burnt; we’ll have to get take-away’s” he yelled “Great” He came back into the room "You want pizza Bella?" "Deep dish?" "If that is what you want Bella?" "You know I'm a sucker for New York City deep dish pizza Massimo." "Well if that is what you want that is what you will get."
