Chapter 65
Massimo
I was screaming at Luca and Marco for loosing the son of a bitch in our city. I couldn’t believe he got away from us. He must have been in the coffee shop when we left for our run and saw Luca and Marco with us, that’s the only explanation I have. I phoned Enzo and told him he needs to get everyone on this. All the tech guys everyone that owes us a favour, I even phoned Damon and got him involved. I really didn’t want to deal with this now, I wanted to go find Rachel and make sure she’s okay. But to make sure she’s protected I needed to do this. I was in my study with Marco and Luca still with me. We were still trying to find out how he got away. “Luca go speak to that barista, Rachel worked with, maybe he told him something that could help us.” “On it boss.” “Marco I need you here, I underestimated this son of a bitch, I’m not going to do that again.” “I’ll be right outside the door sir. We also gave the doorman a heads up.” “Good” Luca and Marco left. Thank God now I can attend to my Bella.
I walked into the bedroom and I could still hear the shower running, I wondered if she left the water running. I walked into the bathroom and saw her sitting in a corner in the shower. The totally opposite of the feisty women that demanded answers earlier. I walked right into the shower, closed the water and pulled Bella up in my arms, on my way out I took a towel. I kicked my wet shoes of in the walk in closet and went straight to the bedroom. “Sweetheart can you stand for me.” She just nodded. I put her down and started to dry her. Her hair was also soaking wet. I dried that to the best of my ability, then I wrapped her in my rope and put her on the bed. “Stay right there sweetheart.” Still she just nodded no words came out, she was scaring me. I went into the bathroom got a towel for me, dried myself and put some sweatpants and a t-shirt on. When I got back in the room she was still sitting in the same spot. I pulled her up into my arms. “Sweetheart, you’re okay, he won’t find you here.” She started to cry “But he did find me Massimo. I travelled far for him not to find me and he still did. I’ll never get away from him and my past.” “Yes you will sweetheart. He’s not leaving New York City and he won’t breath much longer, that is my promise to you. I will not let him get away.” ”Massimo I don’t know how I feel about you killing him.” “There is no other option sweetheart, I suggest you get use to that. This is who I am and always will be. I protect what is mine and you Rachel, is mine.” On that crucial point my phone rang, “What Luca?” “Sorry boss, that mother fucker, the barista told Rachel’s ex everything about her life here and that she is with you and I’m always with you.” “Why the fuck would he do that?” I saw Rachel sitting up in the bed and listening to the conversation, I put the phone on speaker. “He told Carl, the barista, that he was Rachel’s brother and was very worried about her and that Rachel had mental issues and he was here to take her back home. He also told Carl he would need his help because Rachel won’t go willingly, only then something clicked for Carl and he asked him to leave. Then he pulled a gun on Carl and asked for the back door.” “Ooo my God, where would he have found a gun?” Rachel asked “Thank you Luca get the tech guys to follow him from the back of the coffee shop.” Before I could put the phone down Rachel spoke again. “Luca is Carl okay?” “Yes Rachel just shocked and scared because he gave your ex so much information.” “Luca please don’t hurt him.” “We won’t.” then Luca put the phone down. I’m sure they scared the shit out of Carl.
“How do you think he got a gun Massimo?” “It’s easy in the states to get a gun sweetheart. But please don’t worry about him we will get him.” “I have to worry Massimo what if he hurts one of your men or finds out where we work and he goes after your mom or dad.” She asked with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Don’t worry sweetheart I’ll get more security for the restaurant and the guys are trained, he won’t hurt them, you might need to worry about your ex.”
“No I’m done crying about him or worrying about him, this breakdown I had was the last one.” She told me very serious. “I’m here for you sweetheart for what ever you need.” I reinsured her “I know, thank you Massimo. But could I please ask you to never hide things from me that involve me again?” “I’ve learned my lesson sweetheart.”
“Now can I get a cup of coffee and something to eat.” She asked “Off course sweetheart what do you want?” “NY slice deep dish pepperoni pizza.” “Done” I phoned Luca to go and pick up the pizza then I went to the kitchen and made Bella a hazelnut latte.
When Luca came with the pizza Bella and I sat in the lounge, we got some plates and started to eat. Halve way through Bella’s second slice of pizza, she said that she has a plan. “I’m listening.” “Promise you’ll listen before you answer.” She begged “I can’t promise anything” I told her. “What if we use me as bait for Henry?” “Fuck no Rachel, there is no way I’m using you, we will find him on our own.”
“I know you’ll find him Massimo, but I want him found now, I won’t be able to relax or go out without being afraid, I can’t live like that again and I won’t, I’ll rather pack up again and run away.” “No Rachel you can’t leave me, we love each other.” “Yes Massimo, I love you but my sanity is more important to me.”
“Okay Rachel give me your plan and if we don’t find him in the next 24hrs we can use your plan.” “You serious Massimo?” “Yes sweetheart I’ll do anything to not loose you.”
