I rose slowly from the chair, shaking in coldness and my legs were like spaghetti, I wobbled all over the place like Bambi and everyone waited for me to get my balance. Once my legs were semi-back to normal, without hesitation I followed Denise with the men close behind me, I was betting they were making sure that I didn’t try to escape. Only I was too tired to even think about running. We made our way up the staircase as I struggled to keep my eyes open, but as each second passed they got heavier. We reached the top of the stairs and were making our way down the dark corridor when Denise stopped suddenly, and I ran into the back of her.
“Sorry,” I mumbled quietly.
“It’s fine dear,” she replied as she opened a door and allowed me to step inside. “This is your room; you have a bathroom to the right so you can freshen up and remove the leaves and twigs from your hair. Rest my dear.”
“Thank you,” I said to her as I smiled, and she smiled back.
She stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her, I looked around the room, there was a large bed with scattered cushions on it to my left, with a set of oak drawers, a wardrobe, and a dressing table to my right. A large window was straight in front with the white curtains closed. I walked towards the bathroom, and opened the door, and flicked on the light. Floor-to-ceiling cream marble tiles with a walk-in shower, and a roll bath. For some strange reason, a warm feeling filled me, I’d never felt like that at home in my own bathroom as I was always paranoid that Ricco would just barge in. I decided to grab a quick shower to freshen up despite being so shattered after spending most of the night running and then restrained to a chair, I needed to be quick as that bed was calling my name.
After I showered, I dried myself with one of the fluffy cream towels that I located on the heated towel rail, then wrapped it around my body and walked back into the bedroom. I made my way over to the bed and laid down staring up at the ceiling with a million and one thoughts running through my head. I just couldn’t get my head around all the events of the day and how I ended up here in this room. I had dug a massive hole and somehow had to dig myself out while trying to stay alive. Suddenly my eyes grew heavier, so I curled up into the foetal position and drifted off to sleep.
Chapter
Six
ANTONIO
Sat behind my desk, thinking about the young woman who burst into my life last night. I was lost in thought still trying to work out whether she told me the truth, normally I would have a sixth sense when it came to someone lying to me, only with her, she held it all together well. I watched every slight expression she made, her body language and… well, I had no idea when it came to her. What I did know was my cock was gagging for her and right now I was stopping myself from rushing to her bedroom, throwing her on the bed and fucking her senseless. It definitely wouldn’t be a good idea, and I’ve never rushed for anyone in my life, so why should I be any different for her?
My thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock at the door, I hitched my brows as I was not in the best frame of mind to be disturbed.
“What,” I shouted, the door opened, and Carlo popped his head around it. “Ah… just the person I wanted to see; I’ve got a bone to pick with you.”
Carlo stared at me, lifting his brows aware he was in serious trouble, but still walked in. He closed the door behind him and made his way to stand in front of my desk.
“May I take a seat?” he asked as he gestured to one of the chairs in front of him.
“You can, but I might shoot you,” I told him.
“Boss, I have no idea how she got in the car, she must have been on the other side of the vehicle when I approached and once, I pressed the remote, she climbed in. Other than that, I have no idea how else she managed to be there, I can assure you that I’ll be more vigilant in the future.”
“She said she tried the car door and it opened,” I told him matter-of-factly.
“Boss, the car was locked, she must have heard it unlock, saw her opportunity and climbed in,” he tells me with a confused look on his face.
I narrowed my eyes at him and guessed that could have been the truth.
“So, she wasn’t a girl you picked up and thought you’d sneak her back to the house for a quick fuck?”
“No boss, I swear I had no idea she was there,” he said as he gulped.
I took a deep breath and looked deeply into his eyes, and knew he was telling the truth.
“Did you do what I sent you out to do?”
“Yes, I left him lying there with his face smashed up like you told me to.”
“Good, now let's hope that rattles his cage, the drug-dealing bastard. I’m not having that shit going on around me. I want you to take Luigi and check out the Dellucci’s to see what they are up to. I need to know their every move.”
“Sure boss. I’m on it, do I come back and report to you straight away.”
“Yes, now go.”
Dealing with idiots today was not on my schedule even if I’d known Carlo for most of my life. I sat back thinking about the Dellucci’s and how to exact my revenge after he murdered my papa. I was nineteen when my papa called to say he was being pursued by several cars and that they were going to try and shake them off, so I sent men out to the location he gave me.
As a young boy, I had watched him and looked up to him. He’d taught me all I knew, it was just myself and him as my mamma had left when I was a few weeks old, and even to this day I had no idea where she was or if she was even still alive. I held my first gun at the age of fifteen and held a knife to a man’s throat not long after that. My papa taught me to take no pity, or mercy, to man up and take all that came my way. I did and now, blood was my favourite shade of red, anxiously I waited at home for the call to say my men had got there and everything was good, but that wasn’t the case.
They called to tell me that they found his car crashed into a wall, that there was wreckage all over the road and it looked like it had rolled many times. When they checked the car, they found that everyone was dead, they were executed with a bullet to the head. The cars that had been following my papa were nowhere to be seen, all that was the remains of my papa and his driver.
