Chapter 53
Massimo
“Massimo, calm down and tell me what’s going on.” Damon tried to calm me “Should I come over and we can talk about it?” Damon asked “No we can’t talk at home about it, I don’t want Rachel to hear.” “So I can presume it has something to do with your girl?” “How perceptive of you Damon.” I said sarcastically. “Hey dick head I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. You can’t just phone me and tell me you want someone murdered in another country, I need details and I would also like to know why I’m letting one of my men kill someone.” he insisted
“Fine Damon, I’ll give you the short version. Rachel, my girl as you put it, ran away from Cape Town to get away from her ex husband, he abused her and also assaulted her so bad she lost a baby. Earlier today she received a letter from said ex husband, telling her he will always find her, she will never be able to run from him and if he can’t have her no one will have her. Is that a good enough reason for you Damon?” “Fuck, yes but how did he get your address?” “He didn’t she stayed with a friend of her brothers and the letter was send to their address, the friend just brought it to her earlier. I still need to talk to her brother and find out why he gave her address to that mother fucker as he was the one that help Rachel to get to New York.” “Okay Massimo and I guess you want it to hurt?” “As painful as your men can stand Damon, he can’t go quick.” “No problem I have a sadistic mother fucker I can send.” “Damon I don’t care about the cost, get this done. I’ll send you all the information I have and if I get more out of her brother I’ll send you that information as well.” “No problem Massimo, I’ll get on it.” “Thank you Damon.” We ended our call and I was in two minds about calling Rachel’s brother, I was still so angry and I don’t want to piss of her family, but I need to take care of this it will haunt me the whole night. I checked my watch and did the maths it would be after 4pm in South Africa, I hope it’s a good time to phone.
I dialled the number Rachel gave me, it rang for a while then it went to voicemail. I tried again. This time it only rang once. “Rachel is that you?” he answered “Good day Mr Williams this is Massimo your sisters boyfriend.” “Is something wrong with Rachel is that why you are calling?” “Mr Williams your sister is physically good, mentally not so much, she received a letter from her ex husband earlier today, that unsettled her very much and she was very upset because you gave him the address.” “I didn’t have a choice he had my son, he went to my children’s school and took the oldest one, because my oldest son is the only one that knows him and thought it would be safe to go with his uncle. I had to tell him where Rachel was if I wanted my son to come home. If you know that motherfucker as I do you’ll know he’ll do anything.” Her brother explained “I understand and I also am aware of everything he did to your sister, I won’t let him hurt her anymore.” “I’m just glad he only send her a letter I was afraid he will come to New York and look for her. Since I gave him the address I’ve been keeping an eye on him.” Her brother went on. “What do you mean you’ve been keeping an eye on him?” I asked very curious “I drive past his house and make sure he is still there and drive past his work to make sure his car is still there during the day. Like I said I wanted to make sure his not getting on a flight to New York. If he does I want to be the one to tell Rachel as soon as possible.” “And he haven’t changed his routine? I asked her brother. “Not as far as I could see.” “Thank you Mr Williams, please let me know if he changes anything, I’m sending someone to take care of the problem.” I told him “What do you mean take care of the problem?” “Mr Williams I don’t make it a habit to tell people what I do but I do have mafia connections, so with that said I’m sure you can answer that question yourself.” There was silence in the background for a while. “Mr Williams?” I asked making sure the call didn’t drop. “Yes I’m still here, just processing. Is there anything you want me to do?” he asked “Let me know if he changes his routine or if he gets on a plane, phone me not your sister, I’ll handle this from now on.” “I will and please tell her I’m sorry.” “No need she already thought he did something to you or your family.” I assured him. “Yes but still. Thank you for taking care of her.” “It’s my pleasure Mr Williams, we’ll speak again.” We said our good byes and disconnected. I felt better for some reason. Maybe I can sleep tonight. Tomorrow is another big day for Rachel.
I went back to bed and found her hugging my pillow, she looked so sweet. Now I have to struggle to get my pillow back, I smiled. Who would have thought that trying to get my pillow back from my Bella would be the last challenge of the day. What a sweet challenge. I got my pillow and laid down on the bed then I pulled her back to my front. She wiggled her butt into my groin and I rolled my eyes because she is waking the beast. She got settled and started her little snoring sounds again.
I couldn’t drift off to sleep, everything that happened today was just to much for me to switch of, everything was playing back, the conversation with Lorenzo snr, I could still not believe he is turning his back on me. My conversation with Frank from the FBI, that went well I thought. Then finding Bella on the floor crying, the letter. That sounded like a death threat, but I won’t tell her that, I will sort it out. The delicious food she made and the dessert. Then my conversation with Damon and Rachel’s brother. Just before I fell asleep I thought, I have to get someone to keep an eye on the bookings from Cape Town International to JFK International. To make sure they let us know if her ex books a flight.
I fell asleep with the thought that, that motherfucker won’t be on earth much longer.
