Loves True Crime: A twisted Mafia Tale

Chapter 10 Alexander

It’s eight o’clock in the morning and Giovanni still torturing this piece of s**t. He’s cut off four fingers, three toes and an ear. He’s been sliced a couple times and shot once. And surprisingly he’s still alive, not for long though. “Please” he begs on his knees. “Please what?” I ask, getting ready to finish him off. “I’m sorry I won’t touch another woman in my life, I promise. He cries as I roll my eyes not exactly what I was looking for. “Oh I know you won’t, you won’t be alive to touch another one.” I chuckle. He’s about to say something before he’s cut off by my incoming call. I reach aggressively into my pocket and pull it out. “What Jacob!” I yell “Boss, you might wanna get up here.” He says nervously through the phone. “Why” was all I said. “It’s the girl, and you might wanna call the Dr back.” He hesitates. I get a foreign feeling in my chest listening. What the f****d happened, she was suppose to be sleep still. The Dr said she would be fine. I will kill him so help me God if she’s not. “WHAT HAPPENED?” I yell in the phone. “S,Sh-She fainted Boss.” Was all I heard.

I slam the g*n on the table and run toward the door. “Lock him up” was all I said to the guard. Not waiting for reply as I head up to the mansion. What Jake said happened kept repeating its self over in my head. She was sleep, O’mally said she would be out for hours. I was sure I had enough time to t*****e and kill that trash before she woke up. Pull out my phone again and call him. He answers on the fourth ring. “Hello.” “Get here NOW! I yell and hang up the phone. I pass two guards stationed at the door. “Boss” was all they said. One opening the door for me. I walk inside and see Jacob standing over her as she lays past out on the couch. I walk over to her and kneel down beside her, rubbing her bandaged head softly. “What happened?” I ask trying to stay calm. Jake answers first “Don’t look at me, I got the end of it. Ask Romano.” I turn my head to see Romano standing in the comer. “Well?” Nervously he tells me everything then Jake tells his part. When they are done I can’t do nothing but laugh. “You let a piccola ragazza kick your a*s Romano?” “I didn’t want to stress her boss. I was trying to calmly get her back in the room, she just started whaling on me.” He defends. I shake my head as I pick her up and head upstairs to my room. I turn to Romano. “I will deal with you later and you better hope she’s okay or it’s your ass.”

I turn to continue climbing the stairs. I reach my room unlocking it and placing her on the bed. About ten minutes later the Dr comes in with Giovanni behind him. I stand from my chair and walk over to them. “What happened” he asked. I grab him by the shirt and demand “help her, she fainted and don’t know if she hit her head.” “I told you not to stress her, she needs plenty of rest and quiet” He states. “Just help her” is all I say moving out the way letting his shirt go. I go stand next to Gio. “The f**k happened Boss?” He asks me and I tell him the same story Jake and Romano tell me. He laughs “looks like you got a picoloa fuoco (little fire) on your hands fratello.” Not in the mood for him or his s**t right now I look at him. “Why are you here?” “Oh yeah, il bastard e pronto a morire capo.” (The bastard is ready to die Boss) “Uccidilo (Kill him)” was all I said and with that he was gone. Turning my attention back to the doctor. After about fifteen minutes he walks over to me and says “she’ll be fine, seems like she’s healing up okay and that concussion should be gone in a couple days. I gave her more morphine so she should sleep for the next couple hours, and I went on ahead and changed all her bandaging.” I sigh in relief as I stare at her. The doctor packs up his medical bag and leaves quickly. Once he’s gone I walk to the restroom and decide to take a shower. Once I’m done I dry off and put on some grey joggers. My phone buzzes so I pick it up off the dresser. It’s a message from Rafe. R-“Package delivered, in office.” I put it in my back pocket and grab a black t-shirt and throw it on. I head towards the door before looking back at her and I smile. You’ll be fine I say to myself and walk out. I turn and notice Romano standing guard at my room door. Not trusting him to keep her inside anymore so I lock her in.

Making my way to my office on the ground floor. Unlocking it, I step inside and see a yellow file folder sitting on top of my desk. Sitting behind the desk I pick up the file and begin reading.

Lives with roommate Ashton Miller at 4211 N Foster Dr Apt 309 Los Angeles Ca. Father Samuel Roberts works as bank manager. Lives at 863 Dover Ln. Mother Kimberly Roberts work Unknown. Address Unknown. No known siblings. After a new more minutes of reading I place the file away in my drawer. Satisfied with the fact that I now know her name.

Deciding it’s best that I stay home today and not go into the office, I open my laptop and do my work from home. A couple hours later I’ve answered all my emails and calls. Looking down at my watch to see it’s one thirty in the afternoon, and my stomach growls. I’ve been up for more than 24 hours and I haven’t eating or slept. I stand up and walk out of my office, locking it and heading towards age kitchen. Once in the kitchen I see Claire and Bernice preparing lunch. “Afternoon Mr. Parker” they say in unison. “Afternoon ladies, what’s for lunch” I ask. “Pasta sir” Claire answers. “Are you ready to eat now Sir?” Bernice questions. “Yes and I need two plates sent to my room, with a sprite and a bottled water.” I inform as I walk out the kitchen back towards my room.

“Leave” I bark at Romano. I’m still irritated with him since he let Alexis almost escape. I’ll figure out his punishment later. I take me keys out my pocket and unlock the door. I walk in closing the door behind me. Grabbing a chair and pulling it close to the bed I take a seat. Deciding to give Alexis some space, don’t want her freaking out if when she wakes up and I’m in bed with her. This has to be a slow process for her. Ten minutes later there’s a soft knock on the door. I get up to open it, it’s Tracey another kitchen maid. “Your lunch Sir” she says batting her eyes at me. I take the trays out her hand and set them down on the stand. Walking back over to her I grab the two drinks “leave” was all I said before closing the door in her face. Not realizing how hungry I was, I finish my meal pretty fast. I turn the tv on and go to Netflix. I watch about four episode of the Green Arrow first season. As the last episode comes to an end Alexis starts to stir so I cut the tv off and wait for her to fully wake up.

Alexis

I slowly start to wake up. I have to blink a couple times, to get my vision clear. I sit up and my headache is still there. Finally fully awake I remember everything. I turn to get out of bed and hear a mans voice. “Don’t. Don’t get up” His hand pushes my shoulder back down.”I won’t stay here so move or you’ll be sorry just like your buddies out there.” I say moving his hand off me. “You think so Piccola ragazza?” (Little girl) He said challenging me. “Look just go get your f*****g boss and tell him to get his a*s in here. Stop sending worthless guard in here to stall me. I’m done playing his little games.” I yell getting irritated. He moves closer to the side of the bed “I can’t tell him anything and he’s not stalling you.” I groan throwing my head back “Ugg and why not?” I question still sitting on the bed. He moves in even closer to me, damn near hovering over me.”I am the Boss Neonata” (Baby girl). My eyes widen as he speaks. It’s not until now I take a real good look at him. “You’re the guy from the club, the one with the glasses.” I finally realize who he is and he smirks at me. “I am. I’m also the guy who saved you in the alley, you’re welcome by the way.” I look down at my lap embarrassed by what I’m about to ask. “Did he, did he r**e me?” My voice cracks a little. “No he tried too, but I found you before he could do any serious damage.you do have a concussion tho. A few cuts and bruises but you’ll be fine.” He claims.

“Let me guess you’re a doctor too” I roll my eyes. He laughs at me, “I had my doctor come check you out when I brought you here last night.” “Why not just take me to the ER?” “You need to eat, here I had the kitchen staff fix you something.” He avoids my question. “No that’s alright, I want to go home now I’ll eat when I get there.” I say standing up from the bed. I was surprised when he grabbed my arm pulling me back towards the bed. “And I said you need to eat” he barks back. “And I said I want to go home, SO MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!” I yell as I push my way through him towards the door. He grabs my arm again this time pushing me back against the wall. Being this close to him made my knees weak. Now that I was getting a better view of him he is handsome, no he’s beautiful. He has the most vibrant green eyes I’ve ever seen. Eyes I could stare into all day. He has tattoos running down both arms from his neck. And he smells so good, his scent suffocates my nose so I have no choice but to get a whiff. “I suggest you watch your tone when talking to me neonata, before I have to do something we’ll both regret.” He says in my ear, snapping me out of my train of thought. My heart starts to beat faster, he’s right yelling isn’t going to get me out of here. Be smart Lexi I tell myself. “Look I appreciate what you did for me, but I can take care of myself. So if you would please let go of my arm and just let me go.” I ask calmly I even throw in a fake smile.

He lets go of my arm as he stares at me. And for a long time and I stare right back. It was something about him that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. “Listen Alexis, you haven’t ate since God knows when yesterday. You’ve been through a lot, I’m telling you, you need to eat something. We can talk about everything else once you’ve gotten something in your system” He says. He was right about that, I have been through a lot and now that I thinking about it I am hungry. But I’m not backing down I’m going home, one way or another. I take a deep breath “I will eat when I get home, you can’t keep me here. So pease just let me go.” His eyes changes, they aren’t soft and safe anymore. They’re cold and dangerous now. He’s mad no he’s pissed. He walks up to me rapidly grabbing me by my throat slamming me against the wall. He pushes his body close to mines. Nothing but fear builds up inside of me. Not knowing if he’s going to r**e me kill me or even beat me. My heart beats so fast I’m sure you can see it through the shirt. I close my eyes and pray to God for him to get me out of this. “Fine don’t eat, I don’t give a rats a*s. But know this piccola ragazza you’re not leaving here. This is your home now, so you need to get use to it.” He tells me gripping my throat tighter. I struggle to breathe and after a few seconds he lets me go. I fall to the floor trying to catch my breath, and he backs away from me still looking down at me. I fight the tears that desperately want to escape. I keep my head down no longer wanting to see his face. I hear him walk away towards the door and unlocking it. “What is wrong with you, you can’t do this” I cry softly “I just did” was all he said before walking out, slamming the door behind him, then locking it back.
