Chapter 51
Massimo
It was the morning of my meeting with Lorenzo Snr. I was so pissed off but funny enough still in a good mood. It probably had something to do with the fact that Bella and I told each other we love each other. I was always certain love does not exist or that there will never be a woman for me. I always saw women as a convenience for sex but a liability and distraction from business. I never believe in love at first sight but as I’m sitting here in the back of the SUV on my way to the club, I realised I fell for Rachel the first day she bumped into me. I couldn’t stop thinking about her since the first day. Everything I thought I wanted and new about women is gone. There is only Rachel now and I will do everything in my power to keep her safe and keep her by my side. I’ve never felt like this before, I smiled looking out the window. “You okay boss?” Luca asked “Yes, why do you ask?” “Just the meeting with Lorenzo Snr” “I’m good Luca, I can handle him. The question is can he get a hold of his son, because I will get rid of him.” “We are all ready for the meeting boss.”
We got to the office and I phoned Damon “Good morning sunshine” he answered the phone, always trying to get a reaction out of me and because I’m Italian he always gets a reaction out of me. “Good morning, Dick” “Always so hostile Massimo, didn’t your girl suck your dick last night, is that why you in a bad mood?” “Fuck off Damon” “What can I do for you sunshine?” “I’m meeting with Lorenzo Snr today do you have any other information for me and I’m still waiting for a date and time from you for the Ricci’s shipment.” “Jeez hold your horses Massimo. One thing at a time. My contact just got back to me the Ricci’s shipment will be arriving next Friday the 15 September at about 11 pm Dock 30 and they are talking about 50 women, they are not starting slow Massimo. This will become a big problem.” “I know Damon I will send the information to the FBI hopefully they will stop this shipment while I get my ducks in a row before the next one.” “My guys and I will also be around the vicinity just to make sure the girls don’t get into the wrong hands.” “Thank you, Damon, if you need extra men mine are available to you.” “I’ll let you know.” “Now is there more information on that low life Lorenzo Jnr? My men got a few things on him for me, it looks like he is dating one of Ricci’s daughters, I don’t know if Lorenzo Snr knows about this but I’m going to enjoy telling him.” “Well, that’s some juicy information I would love to see his face. Other than his name on the shell company I couldn’t find anything else, we not sure how deep he is involved.” “I have a plan I’ve been working on that I’m going to lay in front of Lorenzo Snr, we’ll see how he reacts. I’ll keep you updated on that.” “Then stop wasting my time sunshine I have work to do.” “Bye dick” “Aaa you flatter me, Bye Massimo.” I ended my call with Damon and started with my e-mails and going on the deep web to see if there where buyers for the women. Yes, I’m more than capable of working a computer and going on the dark web. Thing’s are definitely been kept close to the chest. I will find out it’s just a matter of time.
Luca brought me an espresso at 12pm I was so ready for this meeting. I drank my espresso and thought about how I hoped Lorenzo Snr did not know about his son dating the Ricci’s daughter. It will be so much fun telling him. 1 pm came and went with no sign of Lorenzo snr 1:30 there was a knock on my door, Luca popped his head in, Matteo Snr just stopped boss. “Finally” I sigh “Now keep him waiting for another 10 min before you bring him in.” I told Luca “Okay boss.” I went to the window and calmed myself down otherwise I will throw something. I could hear Matteo Snr screaming at Luca about me being rude by keeping him waiting. What the fuck the old man kept me waiting. I went out to greet Lorenzo Snr after I cooled down.
“Lorenzo so nice of you to finally join me, didn’t I tell you 1pm?” I asked him sarcastically. He was not happy with me for calling him on his giving name and for keeping him waiting. “I told you I might be busy you can’t just summons me Massimo.” He sneered at me, emphasizing my name. “Let’s go to my office.” I walked in front of him and took him into my office. “What do you want Marchetti?” “We’re do I begin Matteo? There is so much I want but what I want from you is what I paid for. You having Junior under control.” “What do you mean I have my son under control.” “No Lorenzo you do not!” I screamed at him losing the battle against the anger. “Your lovely sons name is on a shell company that the Ricci’s is using to bring the girls in.” “No, it can’t be, he would never.” Lorenzo Snr denied. “But he did.” I threw the documents in front of him. He quickly scanned it. “There must be a mistake.” “No mistake Lorenzo, I think he did it for his girlfriend.” Lorenzo stood up letting the chair fall to the ground. “What girlfriend!” He shouted at me. “Oooo you didn’t know your beloved son is dating a Ricci.” I smiled telling him that. “No, it can’t be!” I threw the photos in front of him. “That definitely looks like they are dating. You see Lorenzo you have no control over your son, none. You promised me if I paid you, it would be a sign of good faith and I did my part but you did nothing.” “What do you want Marchetti? “Well first of all I want my money back plus interest.” “I can’t” He interrupt me. “You can and you will before close of business tomorrow. Then you have until next week Thursday to sort out your son. If you can’t get him on the same page as us. I will tell the FBI he is involved in human trafficking and they will be all over your business.” “You can’t do that Marchetti!” “Off course I can. Believe me I will.” “You have to decide where your loyalties lie Lorenzo with us the Mafia Families that made me head or with the outcast the Ricci’s and you better decide quick. I want an answer by next week Wednesday Lorenzo.” “That’s too soon Massimo.” “If you with me and the other families you would know it now, this only means you are not sure if you want to be with us or with the Ricci’s. If I don’t have my answer by Wednesday, I will assume you decided to give your loyalties to the Ricci’s” Lorenzo just looked at me. If looks could kill I’ll probably be six feet under. “Where done” I told him.
I called Luca and asked him to escort Lorenzo out of my building. When he stood up, I spoke again, “Remember my money Matteo” He just grunted.
When Lorenzo left, I just wanted to go home and wrapped My Bella in my arms, but I had more work to do. I got on the phone and got a hold of Frank from the FBI and told him about the date, time and dock where the girls would be, I also told him that I think Lorenzo Jnr Matteo is involved in human trafficking. Yes, I told the old man I’ll give him time, but when he said it’s not enough time to make a discussion mine was already made. You know when your loyal or not and the Matteo’s are definitely not loyal anymore. Frank told me he will look into the Matteo’s and thanked me for the information regarding the shipment of girls that are coming in the following Friday. Then I had to send e-mails to all the other families to inform them of the Matteo’s, I was not sure of how it will go down with some of them, but it had to be done. At 6 pm I was done with the day, e-mails where send, phone calls were made. I’ll probably get a lot of questions but that can wait until tomorrow. I could finally go home to My Bella.
I called Luca and we were on our way home I couldn’t wait to see Bella and hold her and talk about her day. When we got home, there was a big contradiction in the house. I could smell delicious food and something sweet.
Bella was dress to impress but she was on the ground crying, clutching a letter in her hand.
