My Italian Capo

chapter 8

"Why are you both so wet?"
I ignored him and signalled for Vince to let me down; which he did

"I asked you both a question" he said "and I want answers!"

"Mr Rosi..."Vincent started but I stopped him

"We don't have to tell you anything" I said "It's honestly none of your business" I said angrily

"You're in my house so it is my business" he said coldly

"Do I have to remind you that I'm in this house against my free will?" I fired back

"Vincent leave us!" Lorenzo said and Vincent looked at me apologetically before he scrambled out.
He's not leaving me in here with him.
I walked after Vincent; but of course Lorenzo grabbed my hand roughly and I shivered...not because it was cold but because of Lorenzo.

What happened to my confidence now?

"You're hurting me" I mumbled while I tried to get out of his grasp

"I will never accept such disrespectful behaviour from you...I would advise you to drop the attitude immediately; or else" he held me tighter than before

"Or else what Mr Rosi?...are you going to kick me out of your house?"

And before he could answer; the door flew open and revealed a beautiful blonde girl. She looks younger than me, maybe by a year or two. She's definitely taller than me though. She has the most stunning blue eyes I have ever seen.

When Lorenzo saw the girl; he immediately let go of my arm. It was as if he got caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing.

He smiled at her disapproving face while she scowled at him. So I'm going to take a good guess and say that she saw how Lorenzo was holding me. She seems important to him. I've never seen him smile for this long; I know the smile is forced and fake but I'm amazed at the fact that he is even trying to smile.

"Summer; you're home early!" He exclaimed nervously

Wait a minute...Summer? That name; Why does it sound so familiar

"Mmmmhhhhhh" she eyed him curiously "I always get home at this time"

Oh Summer! Now I remember who she is...she's the girlfriend. The one Lorenzo got a call from; that night at the club...he told her, he loves her (in Italian)

As soon as I realised that I could easily leave the room now that he's not holding me...I ran up the stairs and luckily I remembered the way to 'my room'. When I made it to the hallway of 'my room' the guards were already there. As soon as Vincent saw me he nervously smiled...and I just frowned

"You left me there" I said

"I know but-..."

"You left me alone with him" I walked past him "he could've hurt me you know?"

"Did he hurt you?" He had the nerve to ask

"Yes, he hurt me" I replied

"Where?" He asked angrily walking towards me. He started eyeing me up and down looking for bruises but he found nothing

"My feelings. He hurt my feelings Vince" I said and he started relaxing

"Oh...he does that to everyone" he said

"Does he do that to Summer too?"

"No, Never. Summer means a lot to him"

Well if Summer means so much to him than why does Lorenzo frequently have girls in his office? Even the blind know that they get 'busy' in there
