Crowned love

Episode 9 Helplessness

When I took Amelie to her house, she told me what happened in the park. I was so pissed that, despite the protection I gave her, that asshole attacked me anyway. He was intelligent and knew how to take advantage of situations, which meant that he was a strong opponent and I could not underestimate him. I was a mafi boss and I couldn't catch the guy who was haunting me, just thinking I was even more pissed off.

Amelia went to sleep and I decided to talk to Alex and John because it was their heads that were watching over her safety. I do not hide that I wanted to shoot them, that they did not fulfill their obligations. In the end, I promised her protection. She was supposed to feel safe.

"Alex and John I want to talk to you," I said, and we went to the other room. I had to remember it was her house, I had my own office in mine.

-I talked with Amelia and she told me what happened. Now she wants to know what you have to tell me. I want to find out why some guy attacked her on a clear day after he had security? I tried to calm down but it didn't work out very well.

-Mrs. Castellino-said John -Mrs. Amelia wanted to run and chose a park near the house. There weren't many people there, so the threat was small. The paths are narrow, so I was running right behind her. Then this guy showed up out of nowhere. I think I noticed him at the same time as she did. Then he pushed her to the cliff. I managed to catch him. We were struggling but I heard her scream as she fell. I had a choice to keep him and wait for the rest of the security, or go to her help. I didn't know what offense she might have had, so I ran towards her and he ran away. –I saw that John felt angry and guilty that he failed to catch this guy, but he was right, he had to choose and made the right choice.

-Did you notice what he looked like? Did you notice something characteristic? -I hoped that whatever he managed to notice, everything could help us, even the smallest detail.

-The guy was tall, more or less my height, but slim, he was wearing a hat, glasses and a hood on his head, but I sensed the smell of cigarettes from him. And something else, but I'm not sure exactly what it was. - not much, but it is always something that can be of use to us.

-Why weren't you there, Alex,- I turned to the other bodyguard?

-Because we decided that there is not such a big risk in the park. I admit I should have been there, and maybe then all of this wouldn't have happened. I take all the blame on myself, boss, and bear the consequences that you think of, boss, he said honestly. I saw it in his eyes. I have never had a problem with him. He has always been loyal and dedicated and has worked for me for many years. I trusted him, so I sent him to Amela. And what was I supposed to do with them? They both wanted well, the only major mistake was underestimating the opponent. We have to focus on this, this guy is one step ahead of us. It has to change.

-Look, I'll say it once, just once. I do not forgive such mishaps, as if I did not know you well enough and knew that you wanted to protect her at all costs, you would already be dead. I know that she will like you too she trusts and feels safe in spite of what happened today. Therefore, it gives you the last chance, you have to protect it at the cost of your own life. Kill anyone who wants to hurt her understood? I do not know pity, it is the most important thing here. From now on, the two of you will always go to a stupid store with her. If you decide that more people are needed, you may be even ten, as long as nothing happens to her. Understood? I focused on them with my serious and sharp eyesight.

-I'm going to meet my brother now. When Amelia wakes up, let me know she wants to talk to her. Make sure that she does not lack anything and that she has to rest and if something happens, she immediately wants to know about it.-I turned around and went to her bedroom to see if she was okay. She burned and looked so beautiful despite the scratches on her face. Just thinking that something might have happened to her, my heart felt tight and my anger grew. I need to find this guy as close as possible. I don't know what else he will come up with. I silently walked over to her bed, kissed her forehead lightly, and left.

I made an appointment with Antonio at my house. It was there that I liked to place my business. Not many people knew where I lived, not many people I invited here. I valued my privacy. Of course, there were a lot of security guards here, but I organized it in such a way that the house was in no way different from the others.

I sat down in an armchair in my office and poured myself a whiskey with ice. I didn't drink much, but recently I have had too many problems in my head. I was always pissed and thoughtful. Someone knocked on my door and I saw my brother.

-Sit down, brother, we need to talk-I did not even say hello, I felt tired and I did not want to have a nice chat. Antonio sat across from me in the armchair, poured himself a drink and looked at me with concern.

-I heard what happened to Ameli-

-Uhm, I don't have to comment on what I think-I drank almost all my drink at once. The brother sighed, rubbed his chin and said

"She left it almost without a cup," he said, and I gave him a dark look. He gripped his hands in a gesture of defense and added - which doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't have happened.

- Well, it shouldn't, and I think that despite the protection, he was able to surprise me so much - I remembered what I felt when Alex called and said what happened. I felt like killing someone. I was running out of blood.

-Marco, I checked the owner of the car from the stolen plates from our observations, it appears that they belonged to the scary lady who lives at the address indicated. She didn't even notice that someone stole it. Because she has not been driving a car for a long time, she is sick and rarely leaves the house. Only when the police came to her did they find out what happened.

-Great , so we still do not know anything, this guy is a f*****g ghost !! - I screamed because I felt helpless.

- Calm down and listen, since he stole the plates of this woman, it means that he knew that she did not use the car and would not be eager to steal, and that means that he must either know her or be hurt. Anyway, I bet he lives somewhere in the neighborhood. We will follow this trail. I also know that the e-mails he sent her came from different places, and more precisely from internet cafes in Chicago. He never used his own computer, but these towns are in Chicago and are not more than 15 miles apart.

-You know that he probably lives in Chicago and we can assume what neighborhood it will be? -

-I think it will be the South Willing background. Most often we catch a signal from the computers from which I send emails.

-John said that when he was struggling with the guest, he sensed the smell of passports and he had some scars under his chin, not much, but you have to remember about it.

-You never know what may happen, we will remember it. We'll catch him for sure, give her more protection so far.

-I thought about it, but I don't want her to feel trapped already and I'm worried enough that the press will find out what happened to her and there will be a buzz about it. You have to remember that she is Miss World, her face is her business card and, unfortunately, now she has a few scratches that even the makeup cannot cover.

-What do you want to do now? - he asked and looked at me curiously.

-I need to call the main organizer who runs her campaign. I will explain to him that she had an accident and needs to rest and no one can find out about it. In the end, we financed this competition. It could do me a favor.

-And you do it all for her because? -Antonia asked and smiled cunningly.

-Because I care about her. OK, do you want to hear?

-Take it easy brother, after all. I did not say anything. I was curious why you are so involved in it. I see that you like the woman and something more, right?

-Yes, something more for sure and I don't know when it happened. I started to feel things that I never had a clue about, she woke something in me and I liked it. I want to have it in my life, I know it for sure. I will free her from this damned stalker and capture her heart.
