Chapter 59
Massimo
I was deep in work when my door flew open and hit the wall. I knew it wouldn’t be Bella because she gave a soft knock before she came in. I look up and Damon was storming to my desk, I could see he was very angry. Before I could say something he started “That fucker got on a plane this morning Massimo, we are not ready!” he basically screamed “Lower your voice Damon” I said as I saw Bella at the door looking uncertain. “Sweetheart come in” I told her and I could see she immediately relaxed, because this is someone I trust. She walked over to me and stood right beside me.
“This very rude guy is my friend, Damon. Damon this is Rachel my girlfriend.” I introduced them Damon step forward and took Bella’s hand and kiss it. “Nice to meet you Rachel, I’ve heard a lot about you” Damon teased. Rachel smiled at Damon “Nice to meet you to Damon” “Rachel is my PA from today Damon so I would appreciate it if you greet her maybe before storming into my office.” I teased him “Sure dickhead what ever you say.” Damon started with his smart mouth “I’ll leave you two to talk” Rachel said “Thank you sweetheart, can you please ask Luca and Marco to join us in 10 minutes.” I wanted her away from her desk so Damon can tell me what the fuck was going on. “Will do” she walked out and close the door.
“What’s wrong Damon?” “Her ex is on a plane now he will be here tomorrow, a day early and we are not ready for him.” “Damon just keep calm we will be ready. Sally and Herman is on a flight tomorrow morning, they are out of harms way. Rachel is here at work under lock and key. We just need to get our men on him tomorrow.” “I can only give you two men Massimo the rest are busy with reckoning for Friday.” “It’s not a problem Damon I’ll pull all my men if I have to.” I was interrupted with a knock on the door then Luca and Marco walked in. “Boss you looking for us.” “Yes Luca, close the door please. Is Bella at her desk?” “No boss she said she’s going down stairs to get a latte.” “See Massimo you can’t keep her in the office the whole time. What happens if he gives us the slip tomorrow and he finds her.” “Damon he doesn’t know were we are and I’ll tell my dad what’s going on he’ll be extra vigilant. But he won’t get away from us.” “What’s going on boss ?” Marco asked “Rachel’s ex got an earlier flight and will be landing tomorrow afternoon, Damon can only give two men and JFK is a huge airport, so Damon is freaking out a bit.” I explained to Luca and Marco “Can we call in all our men for tomorrow?” I asked Luca. “Marco naturally needs to stay with Rachel, that will leave me, Enzo, Davide, Aldo and five very junior men. Dante and the five juniors are working with Damon’s men for the rest of the week.” “I’ll also be there.” I told them “and me” Damon said. “I’m sure 8 of us will do it. What do you think Damon?” “It will have to do but it’s not nearly enough” Damon said. “Do we know someone at JFK International arrivals security?” “I got someone there boss” Luca said “Good, inform him and see that he get’s a photo, I’ll make it worth his while.” “I’ll bet right on that boss.” “Marco you call Enzo, Davide and Aldo and tell them of the plans.” “On it boss” “And not a word in front of Rachel.” I instructed them. “Marco, she means the world to me I’m leaving her in your hands, please look after her.” “With my life boss.” Marco replied
Marco and Luca left the office and it was only me and Damon. “I see why you are so smitten Massimo she’s beautiful and she carries herself with a lot of confidence, no one will be able to tell what she all went through with how she carries herself.” Damon said “Damon she really means the world to me in such a short time, I will kill anyone that hurts her or take her away from me.” “Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen Massimo. Okay I have to go, I’ll see you tomorrow Massimo.” “Thank you Damon, really thank you.” “Hey what are friends for Massimo. Cheers.” Damon walked out the door and I heard how he spoke to Rachel. I could hear him telling her, ‘It was nice meeting you’ and Bella said ‘Nice meeting one of Massimo’s friends’ Then in typical Damon fashion he told her ‘I’m his only friend’ then nothing.
I walked out to Rachel’s office. “Sweetheart will you come into my office please.” “Off course” she got up and walked to my office but I was still standing in the door when she reached me I took her in my arms and just hold her and gave her a kiss on the head. “Something wrong Massimo?” “Not really sweetheart just needed to hold you a bit.” “I’m not going to complain Massimo, Damon looked very serious when he walked in, in fact it looked like the devil, was behind him, are you sure nothing is wrong?” “Nothing you need to worry about sweetheart.” I took her hand and we walked hand in hand to my desk, I phoned my mom and told her we were ready for lunch, not even ten minutes later and a waiter knocked on my door, he was carrying two salads and water. “This looks delicious Massimo.” “It is sweetheart, I can’t eat pizza and pasta everyday or I would have to run more.” “I can’t wait to go running with you Massimo.” “You sure you will be able to keep up.” I asked her. “The question is will you be able to keep up with me?” she asked smiling at me. “I will try sweetheart, I will try.” I laughed back at her. We were eating in silence for a while when Bella spoke again. “So Damon is a friend?” she asked “Yes a very good friend.” “He gave me a fright with just barging in like that.” “That’s Damon for you sweetheart. He struggles with control since I met him. He’s a lot better now then at the beginning.” “Were does he fit into your organisation? I haven’t seen a file on him.” “No he doesn’t work for me sweetheart, we just help each other out, I give him information that he needs and vise versa. He’s the head of the organise crime ring in New York.” “Aren’t you enemies then?” she asked very concerned. “No Bella I’ve helped him to become the head of the organise crime ring, we have our own territories and own things we do, but sometimes Damon and I will work together to solve a problem.” “And that is what your doing now?” she asked. “Yes he is helping me to take care of a big problem and I will be in his debt for the rest of my life. He won’t see it that way, but I do.” I confessed to my sweetheart.
