His Perfect Secret

The Rescue.

Ricardo’s P.O.V.

I just got back from New Jersey with Lorenzo. We went to dig in about the attack that happened in the Saprito restaurant around 9:30pm.

It was the Sarvinis, they wanted me to attack back, so they would retreat and when they do so, the police would have arrived and arrested us thinking we raided the place.

That was their stupid plan. We were able to capture one of the Sarvinis men.

It took almost a week to torture information out from the guy. I’m really tired right now. I went to my room to rest but Renzo barged into my room instead putting a hold on my plans.

“The maid told me about this hot lady that stayed at your place recently. Who is she?” he asked looking like a high school gossip.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him... Well, tried to at least but he kept disturbing me.

“It’s Leona. Ok! Now leave me alone.”

He smiled. “I knew it!” He jumped. “What happened, are you guys a thing now?” he asked.

I didn’t answer him. He figured that I wasn’t in the mood so he left me room.

I went to the kitchen to search Renzo and he was there. I told him what happened.
 
“I really want to call her but I don’t know what to say.”

“Man, just be yourself and apologize for being a rude jerk.” He suggested.

“That actually made sense but I’m not a rude jerk.” I said and I called her.

It wasn’t reachable. I kept calling but it wasn’t still reachable. That’s so unlike her except she’s trying to ignore me purposely.

“Renzo, call Leona. I think she is ignoring me.” I asked.

“Sorry man but it’s still unreachable.”

I began to get worried after Renzo tried calling her. Leona may be a busy lady but she never leaves her phone unanswered.

“I put a tracking device on her phone, track it down now.” I ordered Renzo but he wasn’t able to track it ‘cause the tracking device was not found.
 
That is so strange, I vividly remember telling on of my men to install a tracking device on her phone when I brought her here.

Lorenzo knew her bar manager, so he called him.

The dude said he left before her but he was sure she locked the bar exactly midnight. It’s already 4am.

I called the spy I sent to her place last week to know if she was home. He said the car she took hadn’t returned home.

After hearing that I stood up and began to panic.

Oh yeah, that's right. I put a tracker on the pendant I gave to her.

I tracked her whereabouts, told Renzo to follow me with backup and drove like a mad car racer.

I got to the building, it was really shabby and unsuitable for any human to stay for a minute.

I held my pistol on my left hand and shot the door open.

The kidnappers are so dumb, they left their prisoner unattended.

I take my words back.

I saw some men come out of a room. That’s where she is. I didn’t hesitate to shoot them.

I walked past their bodies and went for her.

I opened the room and walked to her.

Gosh, she was awake but looked half dead. 

“Ri- Ri cardo, is that y- you.” I heard her mutter.

Oh mio Dio! (Oh my God!) 

I can’t bear the sight of her, she looked pale, haggard and had bruises all over. Her blood splattered on the floor.

My fist clenched at the sight of her. “Chi diavolo è bastardo?!” (who the hell is this bastard?!) I shouted out of anger.

She kept muttering words I could barely hear as tears rolled down her cheeks.

I bent down, untied her and I carefully picked her up in bridal style to avoid causing her more pain.

Then I said. “Don’t cry Leona.” I wiped her tears on her cheeks. “I’m here to save you, mio bella rosa.” (My beautiful rose). I assured her.

Lorenzo and the boys were waiting at the car.

“We killed every soul but spared one. He is in the car right now, we'll get some words out of him later.” I nodded in response to what Renzo said.

I told one of the boys to drive ‘cause I wanted to stay beside Leona.

Lorenzo saw how ruthless Leona was treated, so he called the group’s doctor to await us at my house.

When we got home, I had the maid take her upstairs to the room she stayed before. She’s actually helpful.

I've been thinking of firing her ‘cause she talks too much but I’m happy I didn’t do that, if not I wonder who would clean Leona up.

The doctor went into the room to examine her. He said she’s in a critical condition. He mentioned something about doing a surgery for her left shoulder.

I gave him a go ahead, I told him to do anything that’ll make her better. The surgery took about three hours. The doctor assured that she’s a really strong lady and she’ll be fine in a couple of weeks. I became at ease once he said that. I just had to wait for her to wake up.

I checked up on her the next day to see if she had woken up but no, she’s still unconscious.

I feel like it's all my fault. Maybe one of my rivals must have seen her with me and thought we were actually a thing.

I had ordered Renzo to find out who was behind this already.

“Were you able to get anything out from him?” I asked.

“Yes boss, it was Signor Anonimo that ordered them. He used a man named James, Leona’s ex, as a spy to know about Leona’s every move. Anonimo’s daughter, Scarlet the owner of Encanto fashion empire,”

He paused. “According to what I got from the guy, Scarlet has been stalking Leona for some years now. I believe Leona is her rival in the Fashion industry.” He said.

What a psycho Anonimoʼs got that he calls a daughter.

Leona’s father must have brought this upon her cause Anonimo is a brutal Spaniard mafia.

Does this mean her dad is in the mafia or was.

“So basically, Anonimo kidnapped Leona ‘cause his daughter wanted that?” I asked Renzo.

“That’s what the guy said.” Renzo replied.

I don’t think so, there’s more to that and I’ll find out. I told Renzo to kill the guy and set the building where we found Leona ablaze.

***

I can’t seem to concentrate at work anymore. It’s been three days since the surgery and Leona hasn’t moved a muscle.

I’m so worried, I don’t know if she’s getting better or worse.

I called to doctor to come to tell me the state of her condition. He did a few checkups on her and assured me that’ll she’ll wake up a week from now.

I was really excited to hear that but still felt worried.

I got her a new phone since her old phone was completely damaged. I had her sim retrieved, so she’d not loose her contacts.
