Torta Piccante !

Chapter 28 : Cruel Truth!

(Mature Language 18+)

** RUSSIA **

"Cosa ti ha fatto perdere così tanto tempo?" (What took you so long?) Dante asked in a frustrated tone while Ricardo rushed inside holding Hazel's hand replying in a nonchalant tone, "Niente! Ero solo tentato di battere a morte quel Viktor." (Nothing! I was just tempted to beat the shit out of that Viktor.)

True! After everything was settled and they were supposed to board the flight to Russia, Ricardo was too tempted to drill his fists into Viktor's head 'again'.

"Pensavo che fosse Boss a occuparsene?" (I thought Boss took care of it?) He asked scrunching his eyebrows in utter confusion because knowing Erasto it would be a huge surprise if he didn't make Viktor suffer after knowing what he was about to do with Elisa.

"Oh, fra si è divertito un sacco! Ma volevo anche la mia parte di divertimento." (Oh, fra had a lot of fun! But I wanted my share of fun too.) Ricardo replied pulling out his gun from the holster and winked at Dante asking, "Now, where is that old maniac?"

The mere mention of Dmitri and... Dante was majorly irritated.

True! While everyone else was busy dealing with Viktor and Anastasia's drama, Dante and team was the one who spent hours handling Dmitri. Of course with the old man's attitude on peak, he was of course gifted by Dante's most powerful punches.

Rolling his eyes in absolute frustration he ran his fingers through his hair saying, "Oh please! That old man has f****** attitude. I had to punch him many times. He is super irritating and he is a bloody b******."

"What more can we expect from this family?" Hazel added in disgust crossing her arms across her chest while Dante nodded his head with a small smile playing on his face and Ricardo chuckled tapping on his friend's shoulder asking, "I hope you didn't break his jaw, I want him talking."

Of course Ricardo's teasing statement got Dante even more mad and he raised his index finger at his friend AKA underboss saying, "You f***** don't get me started there. He is so damn irritating that the first thing I wanted to break was his jaw. But no, knowing how important this whole thing is, I controlled my freaking urge."

Holding Hazel's hand ever so tightly, he passed her a sweet smile whispering, "Piccante, the day that you have been waiting for years, the day that we have been waiting for; has finally come. Are you ready?"

Nodding her head softly she passed him a sweet smile whispering back, "More than ever! I can't wait to make them pay and prove that my dad was innocent."

"Ti amo piccante!"

"Ti amo anch'io Ricardo!"

Heaving a deep sigh, he looked at Dante and scrunched his eyebrows asking, "So, what's the information? What were the Red Vipers playing? Why did they frame Mr. Williams?"

"Mr. Knight and your father were right. Their doubt is absolutely right." Dante replied crossing his arms across his chest looking at his underboss while Ricardo narrowed his eyes into thin slits thinking about the scenario but Hazel who couldn't catch the hint shot a confused look at the men asking, "What do you mean? What are you talking about Dante?"

"It's better if I show it to you. Come with me." Dante replied moving away while the couple followed him obediently totally lost in their own thoughts.

"Bastardi!" That was the only one word that left his mouth the instant he saw what the Red Vipers warehouse held while she stood like a rock blinking her eyes trying to understand how this whole thing was related to her father.
