Chapter 64
Rachel
I was fuming when we got in the apartment. What are they hiding from me and why? “Massimo what is going on?” I asked him with my hand on my side, I probably looked like a teacup but I didn’t give a fuck. “Rachel let’s get water first, then I’ll tell you.” “Fuck the water Massimo I want to know what is going on and I want to know now.” “Rachel, we need water after our run, we need to hydrate.” He walked to the fridge took out a water for both of us and gave me the one, he was standing there waiting for me to take a sip. I opened the bottle and drank half of it, then I slammed it down on the counter and told Massimo “Start talking Massimo, no stalling anymore. “Why did Luca and Marco cross the road so quickly and why on earth would you carry me home?” I could see Massimo was debating with himself on what to tell me and the fact that he calls me Rachel means it’s something serious. “Rachel let’s go sit.” “Massimo for God’s sake stop stalling, what the fuck is going on.” He walked to the lounge and took a seat, what else could I do then follow him. “You better start talking Massimo.” “Your ex-husband is in New York; you didn’t imagine it.” I was stunned speechless, I stood there and just looked at Massimo. All the fight left my body in an instinct. I went to the coach on the opposite of him and sat down. All I could say was “How?” Massimo looked at me and I could see he felt guilty about something. “How Massimo?” “Would you please listen to the whole story before you scream at me again.” “Massimo if you think I screamed at you, you don’t know how an angry scream sounds like.” If he thinks I screamed at him I can show him what me screaming looks like.
“It started the day Herman brought you the letter, the letter from your ex-husband. I phoned your brother to find out how he got your address and your brother told me the same thing you told me, he used his son as leverage.” “I told you, that was what possible happened.” “I don’t deal in possibilities Rachel I deal with facts. I asked your brother to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t leave Cape Town. Damon would have sent someone over there to take care of him, but then there was a change in plans. Your ex-husband decided to come to New York to kidnap you.” Massimo stopped there to give me time to process. “Kidnap? How do you know that is what he wanted to do.” “That’s what he told your brother. The fact that he told you in the letter ‘If I can’t have you no one will’ that was a threat Rachel and I told you no one threaten or harms the people I love.
We had someone at the airport checking bookings to JFK International airport and we found his booking. He was supposed to land this morning. That is where all of us went. Damon was there as well and 2 of his men. We knew he only knew Herman’s address, that’s why I gifted them the holiday to get them out of harm’s way.” I hold up my hand, I needed time with this information. “Is that why your dad checked on me as well today?” “Yes, I told him what was going on and that he should be vigilant. It seems your ex-husband has a few tricks up his sleeve.” “I could have told you he is a conniving son of a bitch and will always do the opposite of what you think he would do. Let me guess he wasn’t on the flight you thought he was on today?” “No, he was not.” Massimo told me “And that was the reason for coming home early.” “Yes, sorry Bella I just needed to take back control of something.” “I’m not complaining about that Massimo. I would have appreciated if you told me the plan, I could have helped. I’m sure he took an earlier flight?” “Yes, he did, he landed after midnight and not early this morning.” “I guess he went to Herman and Sally’s place and found your address?” “Yes, he did. I’m so sorry sweetheart.” Now we’re back to sweetheart I thought. “Should I asked, what would have happened to him if Damon’s men found him in Cape Town?” “The same thing that will happen to him as soon as I get hold of him, only exception is in New York I know where to bury the bodies.” “Massimo, I told you before you can’t go around killing everyone.” “I can sweetheart, he hurt you for a long time so this time I’ll enjoy it more than the previous time. I’ll even give my men time with him especially Enzo and I think Damon wants a piece of him as well.” “I don’t know what to say to that.” I said shaking my head.
“What you can say is that you forgive me for not telling you sweetheart.” “Let me process everything Massimo before I can tell you I forgive you. I know it came from a good place however I would have liked to be informed of the fact that the man I was running from is in deed on his way or now in New York.” I stood up to get some space between me and Massimo when Marco and Luca stormed through the door. I looked at them and with a very irritated voice I said “Let me guess you didn’t find him?” Marco looked down; Luca was the only one that made eye contact “Sorry Rachel.” “That’s a word I’m hearing a lot of today.” Then I turned around and walked to the bathroom.
I walked straight to the shower took my clothes of and made the water as hot as I could stand. In the distance I could hear Massimo screaming but I was blocking that out. I couldn’t believe I ran away from him and he came after me. I couldn’t believe my brother told him where I was, yes, I know he used my brother’s son as leverage but he could have given him the wrong address even the right address but the wrong country. I was in such a good place and now he is threatening all the progress I made and the happiness I found. I don’t even think I will stand in Massimo’s way of killing him, that’s maybe the only way to get rid of him. Then I slide down the tiles of the shower and sat in the corner and I let all the tears fall.
