Epilogue
BENI
Holding Simone chased away the demons of what I did. Eventually, she found out about Marcus. She was sad for a few days, but then her mood seemed to get better slowly. Turns out that Denny was the right person to go to for the paint color. He could get it painted and return it to her a few days later.
Massimo was getting the old restaurant remodeled. He seemed better for it, too. The way he walked was different, with pride. I didn’t know if that came from getting a bunch of shit off his chest, his additional responsibilities, or because he knew our father was on borrowed time.
I’d been putting something off for days and it seemed like today was the perfect day to do it. I’d awakened in a lighter mood. Simone had eagerly ridden my face for breakfast while begging me not to stop. She’d earned this ten times over. Nervously, I pulled the envelope from the nightstand and rolled over to her.
“Firefly…” I kissed her shoulder, and she rolled toward me. “No, baby. I need you awake.”
“Are you going to lick me again?” She mumbled.
“Maybe later. Right now, I need your full attention.”
She sighed and sat up in bed. “Yes, Beast?”
“This is for you.” I handed her the envelope and hoped that it wouldn’t change things when she saw what was in it.
She opened the envelope and pulled out the contents. When she read over them, she paused and shook her head.
“Wait… am I reading this correctly?”
She was. “Yes.”
“Is this what I think it’s saying?” She asked, sitting straight up.
“Yes.”
Simone screamed and threw herself into my arms.
“You didn’t have to do this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!” She kissed all over my face and pushed me back to straddle my lap. “Did you do this so you could get a blow job?” She stopped kissing and looked at me.
“No. I could just ask for that.”
“True. Then… Why did you sign the club over to me?” She asked.
“Because it’s yours, Firefly. Always was.”
She went back to smothering me with kisses and I put my hands behind my head, relishing every one. And when I felt her mouth wrapped around my dick, I swore this wasn’t part of the plan. I wasn’t a fool or a coward. I took that shit like a man.
I woke up hours later to Simone shaking me.
“Beni, the police are here.” Her expression was worrisome, but I knew exactly what was happening.
I padded downstairs to the front door with only my robe on. A fluffy red one engraved with my name on the sleeve. I opened the door to find the police waiting for me.
“Mr. DeLuca, we’re sorry to inform you that your father was found dead this morning.”
“What do you mean, ‘dead’?” I raised my eyebrow. Sure, I knew he was dead, but how did he die?
“The doorman found him laying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Seems as if he was cut open from his mouth to his penis. His guts were laying on the floor beneath him.”
Ah. The Bianchi family. They were known for gruesome deaths like that. I let the shock of the news show through. The man’s insides were on the floor. That should make for one nasty ass cleanup.
“Wasn’t the building secure?” I asked the police officer.
“They came through a back passageway undetected. Maybe he knew them and he let them inside.”
