Assassin's Secret

chapter 36

Enzo's POV

Throwback to June 2005

Why am I here. This is stupid. I never wanted to come along and see some woman getting beat up.

But I have to. I am an heir to Italian Mafia after all, I can't show weakness, can't disappoint my dad.

All I have to do is walk in, smile at her acting like I'm enjoying this, and then leave and call Marco and ask him to get her out. I can't be the one to tell them to stop, but he can.

Even if I did I doubt they would listen, I'm only 10 and they are 16.

We walked into a barely lit up room. There is a mattress on the floor and a woman on it. Handcuffed to a wall.

God this is terrible. Maybe I can stop them. After all I am a Moretti.

But even if I can't now I know that when I'll be a capo, I would stop all of this.

"Not gonna lie, she pulled one hell of a fight when we were getting her. If not the sedative I think she would have actually beaten us. Not so strong now are you." This one idiot said. I wish she did kill him.

Woman lifts her head up from the mattress, she is covered in bruises, what did they do to her. I can't, I can't look at her face, that will break me. But I have to.

She looks at me.

"Shit." Oh they fucked up.

"What?" Idiot asks me. He is a fucking idiot.

"Do you not know who that is???" Oh my god we all are going to die.

"Some bitch we found at the park. You know her?"

"That's Elena Richmond, Dante's wife. Dante Richmond, boss of the biggest American gang, rings a fucking bell?"

Those idiots look at her and she smiles. Probably imagined what will happen to them.

"Shit what do we do?"

"I'll call Marco, we need to get her out to the hospital. And father has to know."

"No. There is no fucking way. He will kill us the moment you tell him. She.. she had to die. "

"What, no we can't-" I didn't even finish my sentence and he started hitting her harder and harder.

"Stop. I SAID STOP." and he did.

But too late. She is unconscious.

"We need to get her out of here."

"We need to get her to the hospital."

"You, shut up, no. We will drop her at the Richmonds estate, make it seem like their enemies did it. No one has to know it was us."

"We are Italians. We are their enemies. My father is."

"You shut up or I'll kill you and make it seem like a message to both families."
