Loves True Crime: A twisted Mafia Tale

Chapter 12 Alexander

Back in my office I try to get more work done, since I won’t be going to my other office today. I finish up the last call with the vendor. I have a hotel opening in a couple months. So I’ve been on the phone with vendors, caters and some more s**t. Sitting up I take off my shirt and toss it to the side. I’m more comfortable this way, joggers and no shirt. I close my eyes and tilt my head back. I sigh, it’s only 2 in the afternoon and its already been a long day. My phone begins to ring and I pick it up placing it to my ear with out looking. “Alex baby, where have you been? I’ve been calling you.” I cringe at the voice at the other end. Emily I think to my self. “What do you want Emily?” I ask already bothered by this conversation. “Why so hostel baby? Long day? I just wanted you to know that I’ll be back in LA in a few days. And I thought you would want to see me, since I’m just dying to see you.” She purrs and I mentally roll my eyes. “I don’t. Emily we’re done okay. Not that we were ever something.” I speak thru the phone, but all she does is just laughs, disregarding everything I just said. “Alex baby I was your first true love. You can’t just throw that away, baby it’s me.” I was about to tell her how serious I was where there’s a knock on my door. “I gotta go.” I hang up before she can reply. “Come in” I yell. Claire and Tracey comes in with a nervous look. They stand there quietly for a minute. “Are you just going to stand there or is someone going to tell me why you look so nervous?” I ask already over this conversation as well. “Mr. Parker, its Miss. Alexis, s-she refuses to eat Sir.” “And she took off all her bandages and she won’t let me rewrap them.” Tracey chimes in.

What the hell is wrong with this girl? She’s refusing to eat and she won’t even have her injuries looked at? I’m done being nice to her, she’s clearly not appreciating what I’m trying to do for her. I Lose my s**t. “The f**k you mean she won’t eat? She hasn’t ate since yesterday. This isn’t acceptable Claire, when I ask you to do something I expect it to be done.” I yell cause both women to jump. “I tried everything Sir, and all she would tell me is she would eat when she gets home.” Claire tells me. I take a deep breath because I can feel my anger getting the best of me. “I’ll handle it.” I growl. Both ladies leave my office in a hurry as I go back to grab my shirt putting it back on. Walking out the office my phone rings this time I look and see Gio’s name pop up. “WHAT!” “It’s warehouse 15 Boss, it’s-it’s been hit. Three of our men dead and half of the supply is. Gone.” Gio says. What the f**k is happening right now? Who is out of their f*****g mine to be messing with me and my s**t? “WHO?” I ask loosing the last bit of patience I had left for today. “We don’t know Boss. It wasn’t the Russians or the Americans or even the Mexican Cartel.” Gio informs me. “Get back there now! And call Jacob to get here too.” I order hanging up the phone with waiting for an answer.

I storm out of my office , racing the stairs to my room. I unlock the door and walk in. “What the hell is wrong with you?” I yell at her. Startled she jumps off the bed and backs herself into the corner wall. She doesn’t answer all she does is just looks at me. I stand there waiting for her to answer but she never does. I march around the side of the bed to get to her, but she jumps on the bed and tries to run to the door. I grab her leg and she falls on the bed. I let go of her leg and grab her by the arm pulling her up to her feet. With her free hand she slaps me. “LET ME THE f**k GO!” She yells in my face and I lose it. I let go of her arm and grab her by her throat, back her up against the wall. “You ever put your hands on me like that again and I will kill you. Do you f*****g understand me Alexis?” I ask but she doesn’t reply though I can tell she’s scared out her mind. “Why won’t you eat?” I say as calmly trying to regain my composure. “I told you I’ll eat when I get home.” She struggles. “And I told you, you weren’t going to home. This is your home now.” I snap back. “f**k you, this isn’t my home, it’s a prison and I don’t want to be here.” She literally spits in my face. All I see is red, if I had my g*n I probably would shoot her right damn now. I squeeze her throat tighter and lift her off the ground. Her back still against the wall as she struggles to breathe or free her self from my grip.

Seconds later Gio and Jake walks in. “What the heck are you doing Alexander, you going to kill her.” Jacob yells. “Yeah Boss let the picoloa fuoco go.” Giovanni adds I turn my attention to her and I can see the pain and fear I’m causing in her eyes. But at this moment I don’t care I’m too far gone to turn back. “Fine you say my home is a prison, then I’ll treat you like a prisoner. Jacob lock her in the basement.” I demand and I throw her across the room. She crashes to the floor landing on her shoulder hard. “Boss I don’t-“ Jake starts to talk but I stare at him and he immediately shuts up. Alexis on the floor, I can tell she’s fighting back her tears. She looks up at me and I have to force myself to look away. “Get everyone together we’re leaving in ten.” I say storming out. “You can’t do this, you can’t keep me here! You son of a bitch.” I hear her cry out behind me. Watch me I think to myself.
