章 8: Chapter 8

Lorenzo Pov

She hasn't moved from that corner in like an hour, I sat in my office watching her through the screen. She sat there staring into nothing, it was too dark for her to see anything. When she realised no one could hear her screaming she stopped banging on the door and moved to a corner. The cell was built to be soundproof, so you can't hear the cries of traitors or prisoners.

I haven't left my office in an hour after I found out the Mexicans took one of my containers. The war between us has been going on for years now and it was nowhere near solved. They just cost me millions and millions of dollars. If fucking Alessio didn't kill their capo over a girl we wouldn't be here.

I had to be downstairs soon after all it was my party, my underbosses were here to see me. My men were curious to know who she was when they saw her, I didn't tell them that she was an American spy. I told them she was just some whore that stole from me.

I looked at the screen one more time before I got up. I made sure my gun was loaded, a fight might go down tonight. You never know when someone wants to shot a bullet in my head. I knew most by them hated me, I don't need them to like me. As long as they respect me I won't put a bullet in their heads.

I fixed my suit as I walked down. I could hear them talking and laughing, this is probably the only time they get to sit down and laugh together. I haven't been gone for too long, just a month. I had to take care of my business in Italy but my home was in Moscow. I grew up here with my parents and sister, but I'm the only one left now.

They stopped eating when they saw me and got up. I nodded at them to sit down. We were going to have dinner. Most of them had their wife's with them. I smiled at them and sat down.

"Elena?" Say surprises when I saw her sitting next to Alessio. I didn't know she was going to be here. We didn't part on good terms. The last time I saw her was when she was walking down the aisle and I walked out on her.

"Lorenzo" she nodded at me going back to her food.

I looked at her father, Antonio. Pulling on my tie, he wasn't too happy when I walked out on his daughter.

"Alessio says you brought a girl home with you" I hear her say

"is that true?" Her father asks "you leave my daughter then bring a girl home a month later!" He yelled in Italian. The whole table got silent waiting for my reaction.

I look over at Alessio picking up my drink. That fucker doesn't know when to shut up.

"Don't forget your place Antonio" I remind him.

"Do plan on marrying this one" I hear one of them say

"You can't she's not il nostro sangue!" Antonio slams his hands on the table saying she's not our blood.

I put down my drink, looking at him. I should blow his brains out for talking to me like that. But I respected him, he was my father friend.

"Speak to me like that again and it will be your last" I warn him

"As for the girl I brought home, it doesn't involve any of you. She was just some whore that stole from my club" I addressed all of them lying.

"That's unlike you to care about some thief, for you to bring her back home she must have stolen something big," Elena says smirking at me

"Just shut the fuck up Elena, quit being a bitter bitch" my cousin Aria says

I hear the men laughing and Elena's face turned red. I couldn't be happier I didn't marry her, I didn't love her or anything. It was a good match for both of us. Her father was one of my most trusted men. She was young and beautiful, but the day of the wedding as I watched her walk down that aisle. I heard my mothers voice telling me what love felt like, how much she loved my father. And for some reason at that moment, I wanted that and I knew I wouldn't have that with Elena. All she cared about was an image and having the most expensive clothes. But who could love a man like me?

It felt like I have been down here for days, I knew it was just hours. I was trying not to lose my mind in the dark basement. Memories I buried deep down were coming back. I looked down at my buried hands. I stopped trying to untie it, I gave up when I started seeing blood.

I can't believe that bastard left me in his basement whilst he went on with his day. I could feel the tears forming, I was starving, I haven't eaten for a day. And for someone who loves food that was a very long time. The last time I starved this long was when I was younger. I didn't have the best childhood growing up.

My mother died when I was very young and my father wasn't present. I didn't know anything about him. Not even his name. My mother never talked about him, all she said was he wasn't a good man. We didn't have a lot, she was an immigrant that came to the US pregnant. So she wasn't making a lot of money, she worked about 5 different jobs. Cleaning people's houses, waitressing anything that would provide us with food.

She later died when I was 5, it was a robbery in the restaurant she was working. She got six bullets in her, she died on the flood of the restaurant. The more I looked into the shooting it didn't make sense, the robber left without the money but the witness reported he asked for a name. But the police didn't do an investigation, she was after all an illegal immigrant.

She didn't have any friends so no one was looking for me. I was alone in our tiny apartment for days crying. Later our neighbours an old lady found me and called CPS. I was put in the system. My life didn't go so well after that.

I sat the dark in trying to think of my happy place. But instead, I saw his blue eyes. I could feel myself going mad already, I don't do well in dark places. I thought I could stay strong and fight him, that I could survive him as well. But I don't think I can put myself through this again. 

I closed my eyes again and saw his face. I won't lie and say he wasn't handsome. Sexy, if we didn't hate each other I would let him fuck me. But now I knew who he was I would rather put a knife in his back.


章 9: Chapter 9

Maya Pov

I blinked slowly as they removed the blindfold, the light glaring of the window was too bright. I saw a blurry figure in front of me. Lifting my head, I opened my mouth to talk but it was so dry. Looking up at the blurry figure, I saw ahead and suit. The person was standing in front of a huge window, I knew it was Lorenzo. I remember them dragging me out of the place I was before.  Now I have tied against a pole again. Eagle spread.

"Water" I whisper, my voice was hoarse. My mouth was dry of saliva.

I felt something wet on my lips, I felt the cold water. I drank it quickly, feeling some drop on the shirt I was wearing. I finished it in seconds, breathing heavily.

I looked at him, he had a grin on his stupid face. "Fuck you," I tell him "how long have I been locked in there"

"Just a couple of days," he says resting against the wall next to the window

"Just a couple of day!" I yelled moving my tied hands. I wanted to kill him. I know I was locked in for a long time but to hear him say it so causal.

"I had a few things to take care off" he was smiling. He let me in a dark room for days because he had a few things to take care off.

"Why bring me out now?" I ask him "need a new toy to play with"

I know he was about to question me. I know what would happen if I don't give the right answer, I will probably lose a few fingers nails today.

"What do you know about your mother?" I stopped breathing when he asked that. What does he want with my dead mother?

When I didn't answer him he moved and I flinch. I thought he was going to hit me but he didn't, he saw my face and froze. He ran his hands through his hair looking frustrated.

"I'm not going to hit you Maya" he scoffs

"That's very hard to believe" I rolled my eyes

"Just answer the fucking question. What do you remember about your mother!" He yells in my face. He placed his big hands on my neck.

I clock my head to the side admiring his face. I could see tattoos pecking from his neck. I wonder if he was covered in them.

"Nothing," I say "all I knew was that she spoke Italian to me" I smiled "but that was because she couldn't speak English"

"That's all," he asked

"Yes," I looked at him weird "why are you asking about my mother. She is dead if you were planning on using her against me"

"I know," he said sounding frustrated

"What do you know about Mia and Matteo Lastra" his voices went cold

I freeze as I heard the name. I knew they were his sister and father. They die at a restaurant in New York two years ago. It was a sniper shot. They were all over the new that day. The biggest mafia dead in New York. The case was classified, my level didn't give me access to the case files.

"They are dead," I tell him. I felt for him. He lost his father and sister that day. Even though he was a mobster, he still lost his father.

"I'm sorry" I whispered. I knew the CIA has something to do with it. But killing the daughter, that shouldn't have been part of the mission. She was innocent.

"Who was in charge of the mission," he asks

"I don't know," I tell him honestly "it was a classified case, I don't have access to it"

"Lies" he yells suddenly making me jump

"Veronica, come in," he says moving back

"I don't hit women, but she doesn't mind"

I looked behind me and saw a woman standing in all leather. I laughed out loud.

"Where is she from, the Matrix" I chuckle

I hear her heels clicking on the floor. She was standing in front of me. They looked very expensive, the leather pants hugged her legs perfectly. I looked at her face. She was very pretty, her black hair was in waves and her red lipstick completed her look. I left like the ugly duckling in the room.

"I'm Veronica, you can think of me as you fairy godmother" she spoke with a thick Russian accent.

I look at Lorenzo in disbelief, he brought in a woman to torture me. How very sexist. I opened my mouth to speak before I saw her hands coming towards my face. My head fell back, throbbing.

"I believe I didn't say you could talk"

~~~~~~

Lorenzo Pov

"Just tell him what you know and this will stop," Veronica tells her

I look at Maya's bloody face. Her beautiful face was swollen and bruised. I think her nose is broken. It was Alessio's idea to bring in Veronica. She is a trained assassin and I knew she would hesitate to hurt her. But I was starting to regret it.

We have been at this for an hour now. I almost told her to stop when she started pulling her nails but I didn't want to show her weakness. The black shirt she was wearing is now soaked with her blood. I thought she would have given in and told the truth by now. But I guess I was wrong.

I waited for a few days to question her because I had to deal with the Mexicans and it took longer than expected. I was always watching her from my laptop. She didn't move a lot just to collect the food they gave her and water, which was once a day.

The reason I was interested in her mother was that there was an Italian capos wife that went missing years ago. And the years match the same with Maya mother arrival to the US. Too much of a coincidence.

"What do you know about there death," Veronica asks her again. She walked towards the table filled with torture equipment and picked up the baton.

"I don't know," Maya says for the fiftieth time. Her head was hanging down.

I moved from the window towards the door. I needed to leave, it was affecting me seeing her in pain.

"Fuck!" I yelled once I was out the door. I hear her screams, I wanted too match in here and kill Veronica.

"You have the power to stop it you know" I look up surprised seeing Aria.

"You know you aren't allowed down here" I warn her

"I know but Enzo told me you called Veroni...." she paused when she heard Maya screaming through the door.

"What did she do to deserve this Lorenzo. And don't give me the bullshit I know she wasn't a thief"

I took a deep breath and looked at her. I knew I could tell her the truth, she was family. She came from my mother's side, her mother was my aunt.

"She is a CIA agent," I tell her

"Lorenzo, No" she looked at me with a horror look

"She might know what happened to Papa and Mia"

"How do you know that I know you want revenge but do you know if she was the one," she asks me

"No, but she works for the people who do," I tell her

"So you're punishing her for a crime she didn't commit, don't blame her for something she didn't do. Mia wouldn't want this"

"I know you think you have to justify their death, I want that too. But don't let revenge blind you. That girl in there didn't kill them" she says before walking away.

"Fuck!!!" I screamed hitting the wall. I knew want she was saying was right. Maya didn't kill my family. I needed to stop this.

"Stop," I say opening the door. Veronica pauses with the baton in the air. "You can go," I tell her. She looked at me speechless.

"But she hasn't answered" she protests

"I said, go" I warn her. She scoffed and cursed in Russian under her breath. But made her way to the door.

"It was nice meeting you" she addressed Maya who I think passed out.

I walked to the pole and started untying her hands. I did it slowly so I wouldn't hurt her already bleeding fingers. She is going to be in a lot of pain tomorrow.

I caught her before she fell and her face contracted in pain. My suit had blood on it as well, not that I cared. I carried her against my chest looking at her face. Her hair was a different kind of red. God, I fucked up big time, she will definitely kill me. I walked with her in my arms out of the basement.

"Oh god" I hear, I walked into the living room. It was filled with Aria and some of her friends, also Enzo and Alessio, who was shaking his head at me when he saw Maya.

"Who is she" I hear the girls whispering

"Call the doctor" I tell them carrying her upstairs to my room.
