VENNI - HEIR TO VENGEANCE

CHAPTER 24

Riccardo

When I entered that room, I was sure that in the intention of hurting her I had been torn apart, the purple marks on her jaw made me feel like s**t.

She was not to blame, she did what she had to do like my mom did. My mother gave herself over to death for me and let herself be beaten to death so that I could live, I was paying Ellie's sacrifice in the same way that Vincent did with my mother. Matching him made my stomach churn, I felt disgusted with myself for the first time.

When she betrayed me, even if it was for a justified reason, I wanted to kill her, I tried, I told Jullius to do it, but he didn't. My godfather knew that I would feel worse if I killed her.

But death would have been less humiliating than being beaten for loving your family too much.

I spent hours looking at her, curled up in her bubble.

The following morning, Jullius had already provided Ellie with the clothes. She came without bags to Rio, and I chose a pale pink dress similar to the one she wore when I returned to the city, she looks beautiful in that colour.

It looks like Jullius agreed with me or it was a f*****g coincidence.

I placed two pain pills and a bottle of water beside the bed and headed for my room.

I heard her before I even saw her, as I am an imbecile I tried to speak harshly to her.

— Are you late, need an alarm clock? I can arrange one.

She was beautiful, the dress was perfect, but she didn't want to hide the marks on her face, she wanted to face me, rub my crime on my face, and I deserved it.

She sat up hard, her eyes desperate for answers, she held her tears so bravely that if it weren't for the choking voice, she wouldn't be able to notice her internal struggle.

— Please, Riccardo I need to know if they are okay. She begged.

— You should have asked me earlier Ellie, we would have avoided all this confusion.

— I know that now, I'm sorry.

I knew she really felt it, but I already knew that the cowards she calls family were fine, they never disappeared from my sight.

André the banana brother, he was still working at the gas station, he hadn’t left the line yet, but I would be there for him when he did.

The boy took advantage of the fact that the woman left the scene to go on a spree, two whole days of noise, lots of drinks and women, at the house of a schoolmate. There were no drugs or anything illegal it made the boy rise in my concept. I reassured her and said never to betray me again,

— Thank you, Riccardo! — Ellie said walking towards me, the slight movement of her arms denoted a hug and all those emotions she was holding could leave without control. I wasn't ready to deal with it, and my self-control is unreliable when it comes to it, and it's very scary.

I spent the rest of the day working outside the home, I was liquidating companies and giving Vitto a show.

When I came back at night she was sleeping, and once again I veiled her sleep. The purple marks on his chin were still very visible, and his wrists and forearms revealed some marks as well.

If I could resurrect that buggiardo just to kill him again, I would, he set her up and I also believed in the imbecile, so I feel like a f*****g bastard.

The next morning, I asked them to prepare Isolde Venni, I never took anyone there. The only woman to step on my boat so far has been Genna. I don't know if it was because of pain in my conscience, or just because I could, but I wanted to take her for a short walk.

I put a rose and a bag of beach clothes for her, completed with a note. -Yeah, it wasn't an apology, but I tried at least.

When Lorenzo brought her in, he let her in alone, as was my order. Despite the bruises, she was beautiful, the beach outlet she chose was made of thread and the holes gave a glimpse of what was delicious underneath.

My tight swim boots did me a big favour, my excitement was glaring the whole time she was around.

I wanted it to be perfect for her today after all the intention was to redeem myself, but its curves did not allow me to think clearly.

When I saw her lost, looking at the blue expanse of Angra dos Reis, I couldn't resist.

My body came to life and I touched it, its neck turned to receive my touch.

It was not my intention to eat it there on the deck, but the more I touched it the more it opened up until she begged.

— I cannot refuse such a request, my angel, but first I will make you come on my fingers.

I worked harder making her purr like a kitten in the face of the pleasure I gave her there, under the sun, and when I reached the right spot she screamed my name. It was the most erotic sound I have heard in years.

I lifted Ellie holding her hot a*s and leaned on the side of the boat, reaching an ideal height, my c**k was in direct contact with your soaked entrance.

— Hot, I love being inside you, I could stay here forever Ellie. — I groaned diving into it without warning.

I took my c**k out of her just enough to get in hard and fast the third time she screamed my name again and stuck her teeth on my shoulder, damn it that was my undoing, and I came like never before.

Mumbling nonsense words around your neck.

Placing her on the deck floor, keeping her still in my arms, I heard her purring like a sly kitten — I could get lost in this forever.

But it was time to go back, I had to work and if I didn't start the engines soon I would take her down and start our dance over and over again.

Jullius was waiting for us at the marina, the way Ellie passed by him made me laugh, and the big guy also noticed, because he wrinkled his nose at the scene. — The poor man must still have pain in his neck.

Jullius left her at the entrance to the security guard and I went to work.

I was in the office that afternoon when two of my men were ambushed, men who held important positions in my company, they were my face in society. I rarely appeared in any negotiations, so I kept them as lawyers and spokesperson for my companies and legal businesses in Brazil.

Whoever did the job had no intention of sending a message, whoever killed my men right there in the middle of Brazil Avenue, in downtown Rio de Janeiro, had the intention to expose me.

The police asked questions, the press was excited.

I had to pull a lot of strings and charge a lot of favours to keep everything clean.

As for the press, I threw a bone, exposed the number one son of the most important politician in the country, the bastard received black money in illegal transactions and was directly linked to the death of a councilwoman. Illegal transactions and money laundering in addition to involvement with death squads, the politician's record was kilometric, and the evidence I planted against him was like a labyrinth in which all the outflows and inflows of money fell on the oranges and the corrupt cub itself. While he was the centre of attention, I cleaned up the mess Vitto had made for me.

I always charge, do not sell your soul thinking that it is just a paper, one hour I come back to get it.

The asshole doesn't even know what hit him, and he is still terrified of the investigations that came to me, as if I made this kind of mistake, but it is good that they fear it, because if I hear my name being mentioned by any of them, neither hell will be far enough for them to flee my dagger.

While the eyes of the press went back to the politician and his orange, the minimum quote, almost as a footnote said; ‘‘ Two carioca businessmen were the victims of a robbery today on Brazil Avenue, the police arrested the two suspects who are already in custody. ’’

And the end.

Solving the issue didn't change the fact that Vitto was acting right under my nose again.

— Send her away, don't leave her in the middle of the crossfire Ricco.

— No, she stays!

— You're falling in love, Ricco, that puts you, her and all of us in danger. Damn me this time!

— No, she is not going anywhere, reinforce security she does not leave and no one enters, but will she be capisce?

— All right, you i***t, just listen to what I'm saying to you, you already have too much guilt on your shoulders, don't put this on any more, she doesn't belong in our world and is in love with you, and this will be her death.

Jullius left my room leaving me with three acid questions bubbling up in my mind. First, was I falling in love with Ellie? Second, was Ellie in love with me? After everything, I've done? And third, could I live with her death?

Call me crazy, but I wanted more from that girl, I wanted to f**k her without the barriers of the c****m I wanted her to be mine more, but I couldn't trust her, Ellie had secrets, she lied to me knowing that your life was in my hands.
