Chapter 229
Rachel
I was having such a nice time before all hell broke loose and we had to chase to the airport. When we got there the plane was gone, apparently it went back to fetch Massimo. We weren’t there for 10 minutes when 4 black SUVs approached us. Marco was lying on top of me to shield me from any gunshots, but none came. Davide must have talked to them because when he got back in the car, he told Marco it was members of the Camorra Mafia, and they were there to help us. Davide followed them to a warehouse not far from the airport. I was sitting in the SUV still shaken up. Marco came to me and gave me a bottle of water. “Drink some water, Rachel. We are safe with these guys. Boss just met with their boss everything is going to be okay.” “We thought nothing will happen in Milan Marco but here we are hiding from people that wants to shoot at us.” “The Cartel took more territory than we imagined Rachel and they were not happy with us asking questions. If it wasn’t for them things would have gone much smoother today.” Marco walked back to the men, I heard them talking about how they will get rid of the Cartel in Milan apparently, they already send some cartel members back to Mexico in pieces. I decided to talk to Massimo we can’t have these kind of people in New York, we will never be safe. I knew it wasn’t my place to say anything, but I had to. We had been sitting in the warehouse for over an hour when Davide said it was time to go. Massimo will land any minute know. I couldn’t wait to see him to be in his arms. The Camorra guys escorted us back to the airport. As soon as the plane landed, I could see Luca open the door. Davide, Aldo and Marco grabbed me, and we ran to the airplane. We could hear cars approaching fast. When I stepped onto the plane I heard the first shot. Massimo grabbed me put me in a seat and put the safety belt on. The airplane’s door wasn’t even properly closed when the pilot chased down the runway. I didn’t look at anyone just in front of me, I could feel the tears running down my face then I felt my body starting to shake it was all involuntary. I guess we should have been safely in the air because the next thing I registered was being in Massimo’s lap and he kept on telling me “You safe Bella. You are safe.” I got my tears under control, wiping them away like a child does with my clothes. “When is this going to stop Massimo?” was all I could get out. I got up and walked to the bathroom. A few minutes later Massimo knocked on the door. “Bella, Bella please come out.” I washed my face and open the door. “You can’t give the Cartel a piece of New York Massimo, you just can’t” I said storming past him towards the bedroom. I sat on the bed and Massimo joined me. He looked at me “I’m sorry Rachel, I’m so sorry.” “For what Massimo?” “For always putting you and the babies in harms way.” “Did you know the cartel will react the way they did?” “Off course not.” “Well then you didn’t put us in harms way but if you let them come freely to New York then you will put us in harm’s way, because now we know what their tactics are and how they retaliate.” “I know Rachel, I’ll do everything in my power to keep them away from New York. I made a good ally in the Camorra Mafia they will help keep them away from Italy, but they can’t help with Sicily.” “Well then Bernardi needs to get his shit together.” Massimo actually laughed at me when I said it. “Why are you laughing at me Massimo?” I said sarcastically “Because you are in full protective mommy mode.” “Well wouldn’t you be, there was just a shooting what if the Camorra didn’t help us, what then? Will I be sitting here next to you?” “Let’s not think about that Rachel, the point is they were there, and they could help. We are not going to go to the what ifs?” “Fine but I have a last, what if?” “I’m listening Rachel?” “What if the head of the Cartel you are meeting on Thursday tries to retaliate, because of all the bodies that was send to them and not to mention the bodies that is lying at the airport right now?” “Rachel he wouldn’t dare to do that in Sicily. Bernardi is not the only mafia family in Sicily there is 94 mafia families in Sicily.” “Then why on earth did Bernardi need your help?” “I think he was more worried about the rest of Italy and didn’t want to go to the Camorra’s for help.” “So, you are telling me that creepy old guy called us all the way from New York to Italy because he couldn’t get past his fucken ego?” I asked in a raised voice. “Jeez Rachel don’t hold back?” “Whose life was just in danger mine and the babies or yours? Tell me Massimo who?” He put his hands up in a defensive action “Okay fine Rachel I understand where you are coming from and yes he will never talk to the Camorra’s but then in return they wouldn’t speak to him either.” “Jeez men and their ego’s.” “I’m sorry to do this Rachel but are you okay for now? I need to get back to the men know Rachel I need to speak to them about what they found out and what happened.” “Yes, Massimo I guess I just have to be fine. You go so long, give me time to cool down.” He gave me a kiss and walked out of the room. I lied back on the bed cradling my babies “You guys will always be my priority that I will promise you, always. I will get daddy on board to not deal with the Cartel even if I had to make him choose between us and the business.
