Enzo is quite charming!
Sofia picked herself up from the ground and headed for Enzo’s bathroom to clean up, and she stared at herself in the mirror.
“What would be my fate now? How will I go about with things?” She pondered to herself.
Her thoughts were rudely interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Miss Sofia”, Miss Grossi called out.
Sofia quickly finished and rushed out of the bathroom.
“Ohh there you are. You must be famished” Miss Grossi said, concerned.
“Come with me, food is served”.
Sofia nodded sheepishly as Miss Grossi took her by the hand and led her downstairs.
"Vieni e siediti qui accanto a me (Come and sit here next to me)” Miss Grossi beckoned to Sofia.
“Grazie (thank you)” Sofia said as she located a seat close to Miss Grossi.
Sofia began to help herself, but then became shy when she noticed Miss Grossi staring at her with a smile."
“You must be a very beautiful lady for Enzo to bring you home.”
“What is she saying? Enzo? That proud fool?” Sofia thought to herself as she let out a fake smile.
“Where did you both meet, tell me?” Miss Grossi asked excitedly.
“Should I tell her we met at a club? Had s*x on the couch?” Sofia pondered quietly, feigning concentration on her food.
“Oh, I guess you are not the talking type” Mrs. Grossi remarked after receiving silence in response.
After some minutes of silence, “Well, I have been Enzo’s nanny from when he was a child”. Miss Grossi said.
“Oh, era un dolce bambino (Oh, he was a sweet little boy)”. Miss Grossi pouted her lips in excitement.
Sofia had enough of the conversation. She was yet to grapse her situation and here was an old woman acting all cute before her.
“Grazie Zia (thank you, aunty)” Sofia said immediately, not wanting to hear any more of her stories.
“Oh, sei già sazio? Hai appena toccato il cibo (Oh, are you filled up? You barely ate)”.
“Si Zia (yes aunty) I am okay. I would like to know my room”.
“Oh okay, the one you showered in. Let me take you there”.
Sofia went into the room and collapsed on the bed. She quickly reached out for her phone and noticed she had several missed calls.
She checked to make sure there was no one at her door.
“Ciao (hello) Maxi”. Sofia whispered.
“Ohh my God Sofia, I have been so worried. Where are you?” Maxi asked, screaming on the phone.
Sofia let out a deep sigh.
“Maxi, Am at Enzo’s house”.
“Enzo, Cosa(what) Enzo?” Maxi asked inquisitively.
“Enzo from the club, Maxi”.
“I don't understand. Your mum said you were taken by the Ferrari mafia. What does this have to do with Enzo?” Maxi asked furiously.
“Enzo è il figlio di Pablo Ferrari (Enzo is Pablo Ferrari’s son) “Sofia murmured.
“Oh, mio Dio (Oh my God)” Maxi screamed.
“Calmos (Calm down) Maxi. How is my mum?”.
"She's here with me. Earlier this afternoon, a few men from the Ferrari family returned to warn them about the payment due in two months."
“s**t, Two months. What does Enzo think he is?”.
“Grazie (Thank you) Maxi, tell my mum I am fine. I must hang up now”. Sofia hung up immediately as she heard voices drawing closer to her door.
********************
The Ferrari mafia ran multiple clubs and casinos in Sicily, using their international ties to maintain power and evade authorities.
They ruled over Sicily.
“That was a good game” Enzo said, chuckling, as he stepped out of one of their casinos.
“The guy was morto figo (dead good)” Gardini added immediately.
“Hey Enzo” a girl from the corner beckoned.
“Bella prostituta (beautiful prostitute)” Gardini said sarcastically as they moved towards their car.
“You have a wife bruv, are you looking for another?” Enzo said jokingly, while lighting up his cigarette.
“Hahhhh Enzo, Vuoi che mi uccida lei (do you want her to kill me)?” He tapped Enzo playfully and got into the car.
“Portaci a casa dei Bianchi. (Take us to the Bianchi home)” Enzo commanded.
The Bianchi Mafia ranked high when it came to dispersing terror alongside the Ferrari’s. They operated mainly at the international
borders, but their reputation precedes them right into Sicily.
The car parked in the Bianchi mansion and lines of men with heavily loaded weapons filled the compound.
“Quei figli di puttana(those sons of bitches)” Enzo muttered disgustingly.
“Caio sotto capo” (Welcome under boss).
Enzo waved at them as he made his way into the living room, alongside Gardini.
“Ahannn, Enzo, È bello averti qui (good to have you here)” Bianchi yelled across the room, his protruding stomach jiggled as he settled onto the sofa.
“Buonasera (Good evening), Capo”. They both greeted, respectfully.
“Ahh, Gardini, still following Enzo around, huh?” Bianchi said sarcastically.
Gardini and Enzo exchanged glances as they took their seats.
“Well, what brings you both here?”
“Capo, your men caused trouble at the Rotti club, which led to a lot of damage” Enzo said sternly, with a frown.
“È per questo che stai agendo come se volessi picchiarmi (Is that why you are acting as if you want to beat me up)?” Bianchi asked, sarcastically.
Gardini and Enzo exchanged quick glances with a raised brow.
“Well, I heard of it, E lavorerò su questo (and I will work on it)” Bianchi said between his teeth.
“Well, how about yo...” Bianchi was sharply interrupted.
“Heyyyyy Enzo” Isabel ran in excitedly.
“Haiiii, Isabel, can’t you see men talking?” Bianchi said, faking annoyance.
“Common daddy, he is my baby” Isabel said, pouting her lips, while seated on Enzo’s lap.
Enzo smiled as Isabel came close to his ears. “Meet me in two minutes” she whispered.
“Okay pappa, I will goooo” she said as she gave Enzo a peck on the cheek and stood up to leave.
“I bambini di questi giorni (children these days)” Bianchi said, shaking his head.
"I'll be right back, capo (boss). Let me use the restroom," Enzo said, standing up immediately and heading in the direction Isabel had gone.
He found her door slightly open and walked right in. There, he found Isabel lying on the bed with her legs spread wide.
"I thought you'd never come," Isabel whispered seductively.
