Chapter 70
Massimo
I was lying in bed wide awake; I don’t even think I slept 4 hrs. I was so upset about the Ricci’s and the poor girls that are back in their clutches, how are we going to find them now. At least one girl got away, I hope Damon knows what he let himself in for, he won’t be able to send her on her way, her life is now in danger. I felt Rachel stir in my arms, “Morning Massimo” she said in that sleepy voice of her I loved. “Morning sweetheart, slept well?” “Very, thank you and you?” “I haven’t slept much sweetheart.” She literally jumped up, what’s wrong? Did Henry escape? Please tell me, please Massimo.” “No sweetheart Henry is still locked up, but I did say if anything happens in my organisation that might affect you, I’ll tell you and something happened last night. Let’s go get some strong coffee, I’ll need it today.” I got up and went to her. She still looked sceptical about my answer. I took her hands, “sweetheart look in my eyes, I promise you Henry is still locked up, you don’t have to worry about him.” I could see her relax. “Thanks” was all she said.
We went to the kitchen and I made myself a very strong espresso and I made Rachel’s her favourite, a hazelnut latte. When I gave it to her she thanked me with a kiss on the cheek. I walked in front of her and went to the patio. “Okay Massimo spill it; you look way to serious.” “It is very serious sweetheart.” We got comfortable in the big lounge area on the patio. “You know I told you from the beginning I’m not into human trafficking.” “Yes” she said sceptically. “Don’t worry sweetheart it’s still against everything I stand for. However, the Ricci family decided to go into that kind of business. Their first shipment arrived last night, that is where Damon and his men had to go to, I send the rest of my men as well and the FBI.” “Wait, the FBI?” she asked surprised. “Yes, sweetheart I have a friend in the FBI. But the boat came in earlier and the FBI wasn’t there yet. One girl escaped but was shot. Damon got her out of the water and took her home. For his doctor to help her. Unfortunately, she will have to stay with Damon from now on, or at least for a while, the Ricci’s will be looking for her, she’s in danger.”
“And the other girls?” she asked “That’s where the problem comes in. They were taken to one of my warehouses were the FBI got them, but on their way to the station, they were ambushed by the Ricci’s and the girls were taken again.” “Ooo my God, no Massimo.” “Unfortunately, yes sweetheart.” “But why tell me? Don’t get me wrong I’m happy you’re telling me what’s going on.” “I want you to be vigilant sweetheart, if they can ambush the FBI there is nothing they won’t do and I told you, you are my weak spot and they know it.” “I’ll be careful Massimo, I promise.” She got up and sat in my lap, “I promise” she reassured me and kissed me on the lips, it was a passionate kiss, one I would have wanted to take to the next level but we still have a week to wait. Come to think about it.
“Sweetheart did the doctor contact you, about your results?” “Not yet, we were so busy with all the other shit going on I totally forgot about it.” “Don’t worry I also forgot; I’ll give her a call now.” “No Massimo it’s Saturday we can surely wait until Monday.” “If you sure?” “Yes Massimo, what’s the plan for the day.” Rachel asked me. “I need to work sweetheart, I’m going to Damon to speak to one of the guys they caught last night and I still need to get to Henry. Although I’m thinking I’ll let him stress a bit more before I go to him.” “Can I go with you to Damon, I’ll stay with the girl, I’m sure she has trust issues with men at this stage, I’ll be able to give her comfort and reassurance that Damon is a good guy.” “I think that would be very nice of you sweetheart and if you can tell her what happened to the other girls and that she will have to trust us because she’s in danger. Off course Marco will be there as well and maybe one of Damon’s men as well.” “I didn’t think anything else my love.” And just like that she gave me a pet name without realising it. I smiled at her. “Why are you smiling?” she asked me. I didn’t want to make her self-conscious “Just because you make me happy” I decided to say.
We got up and went to shower and get ready for the day. While Rachel was in the shower, I contacted Damon to let him know I’m bringing Rachel with to talk to the girl and stay with her while we were gone. He was thankful and appreciative of the fact that Rachel will do that. He said she was still sleeping and didn’t know how she’s going to react when she wakes up. Especially because she’s in a new house.
Rachel
I got dressed in a jean and t-shirt with some sneakers as plain as possible, I needed to make the girl feel safe not like she doesn’t belong. I packed another jean, t-shirt and sneakers. We might be lucky and are the same size. I got the bag and followed Massimo to the SUV’s, yes SUV’s, security is getting tight again, but I’m used to it now. We drove in silence to Damon’s apartment, Massimo probably contemplating all the ways to kill the Ricci’s, I’m with him there they are clearly very bad people. To my surprise Damon’s apartment wasn’t far from Massimo’s it was actually walking distance. I looked at Massimo, “we could have walked” “we could have” was all he said. We walked into the foyer and was usher straight to an elevator sitting in a corner away from the others. “Thanks” Massimo thanked the doorman. “My pleasure Mr Marchetti.” The doorman must know Massimo very well. We got to Damon’s apartment. Damon waiting for us at the elevator that opens up straight into his penthouse. The penthouse was probably as big as Massimo’s. He came to me and gave me a hug and shook Massimo’s hand. “You look as tired as me.” He told Massimo “It happens when our plans don’t work out.” Damon looked at the bag I was holding. “Are you moving in Rachel?” I laughed at him “No Damon it’s an extra pair of jeans, t-shirt and shoes with the hope the girl might be the same size as me.” “Thank you, Rachel, that’s very thoughtful. She didn’t wake up yet, I slept next to her bed the whole night, there was a few nightmares but she didn’t wake up.” “I’ll take over from here Damon, she’s in good hands. Go sort out the son of a bitch you caught.” Damon looked at Massimo then back at me very surprised. “Yes, I told her” Was the only thing Massimo said to him. “I’m leaving Marco here.” “I’m leaving one of my men here as well. The building is very safe and the doorman is one of my men but we can’t be too sure. Looks like the Ricci family is becoming to bold, we need to put them in their place Massimo.” “I agree Damon, we will.” Massimo pulled me to him and gave me a panty melting kiss. “Don’t miss me to much sweetheart” he whispered in my ear. Then the men left me with instructions from Damon to help ourselves with whatever was in the fridge.
I went to the room where the girl was sleeping in, only to find her sitting in bed with big eyes. When I walked in, she said “Where am I?”
