Chapter 287
Rachel
The next morning, I woke up I felt free, I could go shopping, I can go to Starbucks, I even can go for a jog. I got up and got dressed in my running gear at least in was leggings which could stretched. I found Massimo in the kitchen busy making coffee and ready to go to work in his black Armani suit. “Morning Massimo.” I said with happiness in my voice. “Morning Bella. You look happy this morning.” “Happy and free Massimo. I can go out for a run I can go shopping and I’m going to do everything today. It’s weird what we take for granted in life. Like freedom.” “That’s true Bella, but don’t overdo it today you still have to be careful and remember your blood pressure.” “Yes, Yes, Yes Massimo I know.” I walked to him and gave him a kiss. “I love you Massimo.” “I love you more.” “Oh, and Massimo, thank you.” “For what sweetheart?” “Well obviously for the freedom I have know and then for the bank cards you gave me they are going to be used today.” That made him laugh and the worry lines around his face disappeared. “Thank you, Bella, I needed that.” “My pleasure. See you tonight and be careful.” “Hey that’s what I need to say to you.” Massimo yelled at me. I walked to the lift and found Marco waiting for me, “Morning Marco you ready for the day?” “Yes Rachel, why? What are we doing?” “Well right know we going for a very fast walk/jog to Central Park then I’m getting ready to go to the shops. I should use the freedom I have.” “I’m ready Rachel.” Marco and I got outside and it felt so good to be outside looking at the buildings and not for someone that wants to follow us or kill us. I tried to do a fast walk but it turned into a jog, I’m sure it irritated Marco to go so slow but he didn’t say anything. He just stayed with me. When we got to Central Park I started walking and taking in how the season is busy changing just as our lives are changing. You could see the trees were getting more leaves and certain flowers were coming out but the clearest thing was that there was no snow. It wasn’t warm enough to wear short sleeves or even shorts but it was better than a month ago. I picked up the pace again when we left Central Park when we approached a Starbucks Marco said, “I’m taken it we going in here this morning?” “Oh, most definitely Marco.” We walked into the Starbucks and the barista recognized me, “Rachel it’s been a while.” “Yes, it has we’ve been travelling.” I’m very sure she didn’t want to know the truth. ‘Oh yes sorry someone was trying to kill my husband.’ “Oh, lucky you. You want the same?” “Yes, please and for Marco?” “The same please.” He told her. And she remembered his order as well a double espresso. We got out coffees found a nice spot to sit and just enjoy our coffees without any worries just like a normal person. If a normal person who has a personal bodyguard with her 24/7. When we where done we walked back to the apartment building. “I’ll be ready in an hour Marco then I want to go shop for cloths for me and the babies so be ready to walk a lot today.” “I’ll wear comfortable shoes Rachel.” That made me laugh. I got to the room and then went into the shower; I was in such a happy mood nothing could change my mood today. I feel better, I went for a jog, looked at the flowers indicating a new beginning, had my daily fix of Starbucks and I’m going shopping without worrying about money for once in my life. I got in the shower and started singing Alicia Keys song about New York. The same song I sang when I arrived in New York City.
Massimo
The fact that Bella was in such a good mood, made me feel so much better and when she made me laugh made my morning. I was still stressed for the meeting with Romana today and to unveil maybe a secret he never knew about. I didn’t like to ruin people’s life if it wasn’t necessary and this has the potential to do just that. I was in my office at my parents’ restaurant, all danger was gone so I can bring people close to them again. The fact that my office was open with a lot of light also made me chose it. The club is dark and morbid that’s why I like using that for life-or-death meetings. But my favorite is the office above my parents’ restaurant. I decided to start with my e-mails and then look at the properties I was trying to buy. I was serious about getting out of the drug business. This means I need to start planning in doing so. Bella is halfway through the pregnancy I promised her I would be out of that business before the babies come. It means I need to start making plans and quickly. After my e-mails and looking through the properties I was acquiring about I made a to do list. 1. Building ready for the men at new house. 2. Moving into the new house. 3. Getting a gold and rear stone dealer. 4. Deciding on my territory. I know I said I’ll give everything to Damon but what about Edcardo? 5. Organize a babymoon for us. Then there was a knock on my door. I wasn’t even finish with my list yet. I put the to do list in my draw and got up. Luca walked in with Romana and his bodyguard behind him. “Romana.” “Marchetti.” “This meeting is very personal I’m not sure you want your bodyguard here.” “And Luca?” “No, he won’t be with us, I’d prefer if it’s just you and me.” “Fine” Romana send his bodyguard out with Luca. “Can I get you something to drink.” “Yes please.” I walked over my bar area and poured both of us a scotch. “Cheers” I said. “Marchetti why do I get the feeling you are stalling?” “Because I am.” “What’s wrong Marchetti, I’ve never seen you like this and we where in a lot of predicaments before.” “This is very personal Romana and I’m not sure if I’m going to drop a bomb on you right know.” “Just tell me. Rip the ban aid” “Did you know you are Costa’s daughters’ real father?”
