Chapter 90
Rachel
The past week went by fast with no surprises, or life and death situations. Massimo and I got into a routine. We got up and 6 am then went for our run, when we came back from the run we stopped at the nearest Starbucks, Massimo for his espresso and me for my hazelnut ice coffee. Then we walked home. We didn’t go to the coffee shop I worked at something was of with Carl and I wasn’t in the mood for any drama. We finish for work, some mornings we will have sex in the shower other mornings in our closet. But we couldn’t get enough of each other. It’s like I found sex for the first time in my life. Then we were off to work. Both Massimo and I felt like we were being watched but we didn’t do anything about it. Luca and Marco went everywhere with us sometimes, Enzo and Davide will also be with us. I never asked why I just accepted it. I was done with all the families files and would be able to recognise them anywhere now. I got them printed into my brain. Massimo send a e-mail out to the families to let them now correspondence will be at a minimum at this time and would appreciate the same respect from them. He told me those words where code for be careful one of us is being watched.
Friday came around and the office where busy, Massimo’s men where in and out of his office the whole morning something must be going on. But I also know if I need to know he will tell me. Lunch time came around and Massimo came to me. “Let’s go out for lunch?” “Sure” This was new. But why not. We walked out and I was on my way to the SUV when Massimo surprised me and said “The restaurant is around the corner we can walk.” “Okay.” At least I didn’t have my highest heels on. We walked in silence hand in hand to the restaurant, it was another Italian restaurant, weird if he wanted Italian food, we could have eaten at his parents’ restaurant. I kept quite something was going on. He will tell me when he’s ready. The hostess came to us and was surprise to see a Marchetti in their restaurant. “Mr Marchetti, table for?” “Two please” Massimo said “And in the back if you have space, please.” “No problem” She walked us to a table at the back of the restaurant, gave our menus then left us. “Massimo what’s going on?” I couldn’t take it anymore. “Wait” was all he said. Well okay then. The waiter came Massimo order a bottle of wine, salad and pasta for each of us. Big meal for both of us this time of the day. While we waited for the food, Massimo made small talk. Things like ‘How was your week so far?’ ‘Did you enjoy our run this morning’ like what the fuck. When the waiter came back with our food and wine Massimo asked her to not disturb us as it was a special occasion. Okay something was wrong. When she left us, Massimo poured us some wine and took a sip.
“What’s going on Massimo?” “We were both right sweetheart we are being followed by the FBI but also the Ricci’s and Luca found a bug in the car this morning, so they are sweeping the office and my parent’s restaurant for bugs while we are here.” “Is that the only thing that is wrong, it seems like more.” “You are very perceptive sweetheart, the deal that Luca and Enzo were dealing with is going south because the buyer wants to meet with me personally.” “Okay, why is that a problem.” “If our car, office or my parents restaurant are bugged then the FBI is looking deeper into us and that is the problem and it’s one of the illegal dealings.” “Ooo now I see the problem, what about the house?” I asked him. Enzo is on his way to the house to check for bugs.” “Oo my God Massimo.”
Massimo
This week was going so great, Bella and I ran every morning, had sex before work, drive to work together, went home together, what else could I asked for. Then came Friday morning and a shit show was thrown in front of me. Apparently, we had a bug in the car and the buyer I had lined up for the buying of the diamonds are being difficult and wants to deal with me and me alone. Luca and Enzo are now paranoid that the office, my parents’ restaurant and even our apartment are bugged. Now I’m on my why with Bella to my parents’ competition because there is no way they would be bugged. We need to sort this shit out. Obviously the Feds have more on us than we thought. I told Bella everything while we were trying to eat, I think I need more wine. “Sweetheart I need to phone Frank can I use your phone?” “Off course” she pulled her phone out of her handbag and gave it to me. I dialled Frank’s number “Frank good afternoon” he answered. “Frank it’s Massimo.” “Yes, sir how can I help.” I didn’t get a chance to speak before Frank said “Yes, just hold on sir.” Then I heard him leaving an office. “Massimo what the fuck is going on?” “I have no fucking clue, that’s why I’m calling you.” “Are your guys still on the Ricci’s?” “No, we a boarded the exact time you said I should. Why is my car bugged Frank?” “They caught one of the Ricci’s for cocaine and he is trying to bargain with your name. Trying to say you’re behind the human trafficking ring.” “Mother fucker, I can promise you it was planned.” “I think so to Massimo.” “All I can tell you is keep your nose clean, maybe go on a holiday or something like that. Let the heat die down.” “Sounds like a plan, thanks Frank.” “Bye sir.” I said my good bye and gave Bella her phone back. A plan was forming in my head. “Everything okay Massimo?” Bella asked “It will be Sweetheart it will be.”
I phoned Luke and asked him to phone the buyer and tell him to meet me in Paris.
I’m taking my sweetheart on a trip to Paris.
