Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 15

Lorenzo's POV

Once I arrive at my base I then make my way inside to the cell rooms to see if Samuel was able to secure my target.

Once I'm in the cell room I am met with Greyson, Samuel and Romeo standing next to a man that is tied to the chair with a bag over his head.

"È lui?" I ask while taking off my suit jacket and rolling up my sleeves.

( Is this him)

Samuel nods his head confirming that the man in the chair is in fact Brielle's piece of shit ex fiancée James Peterson.

I walk over to him but I am pulled to the side by Greyson.

"Cosa sta succedendo?" He asked while looking between me and James.

(What's going on)

"Te lo dico dopo." I tell him while making my way over to James and I then take the bag off his head.

(I'll tell you later)

Once I take the bag off his head he opens his eyes trying his best to adjust to the lightning in this room.

He looks between the 4 of us, his eyes widen as he tries to get free from the rope that's ties him to the chair.

He has quite a few bruises on him already and I'm guessing those are coming from my sister.

"Hello." I say while getting a chair to sit infront of him.

Samuel is on my right while Romeo is on my left and Grayson is standing behind James.

Usually I would only be in here by myself torturing him, but I am far to piss to care who watches what I'm about to do.

Samuel is one of my best men because not only is he good at tracking people, but he is good with guns and knives.

He served 6 years in the military before he quit and came to work for our mafia.

"Let's start off simple, alright." I say causing James to finally look up at me.

"Please." He says causing me to roll my eyes.

This guy is pathetic.

"I will tell you why your here." I say while getting up making my way to the table full of torture devices.

"Those bruises on your face." I say trying to give him the slightest idea to why he's here.

He looks into space for a minute before turning his attention to me with his eyes widening.

Indicating he knows what I am getting at. He starts to shift in his seat uncomfortably.

"Is there something you have to say?" I asked while picking up one of my favorite knives and starting to play with it in my hand.

"N-No." He stutters out causing me to narrow my eyes at him.

"Huh, are you sure?" He then nods his head while taking a big gulp.

"Well then I guess I'll start off first."

"Let's start with how you decided to throw my wife against a wall enough to make her black out a few minutes later." At this he looks at me as if I was the devil himself.

He wouldn't be wrong.

"B-Brielle married you?"

"Some what, yes." I replied while making my way infront of him again.

"That dumb whore." He whispered under his breath low enough to the point that I almost missed it.

Almost

I then stab him in the leg leaving my knife there while moving it around while it's still inside his leg. He let's out a loud scream at the new pain that at this point is probably going through his whole left leg.

"What was that?"

"N-Nothing, please stop!" He cries out as I push the knife deeper into his leg.

"Let me ask you something James, do you enjoy hitting women does it make you feel powerful?" I asked while getting up but still leaving the knife in his leg.

"What?" He asked the pain that laced his voice evident.

"You heard me don't play dumb."

He takes a deep breath before speaking.

"I never meant to hurt her I just lost control sometimes, I really do love her."

I can see in his eyes that every word he just said was a lie. This man enjoyed the pain that he inflected on Brielle and if she didn't run away that night he might of just killed her.

"Sorry I don't believe you which makes you a liar, and I don't like liars."

Let the games begin.

After I was finsh in the cell room with James I had some of my men clean the mess up while I made my way to my office with Greyson and Romeo right behind me.

"Damn I never thought the Lorenzo De Luca would ever kill for a woman." Romeo says as we enter my office.

"Shut up." I groan out while pouring myself a glass of whiskey while taking a seat at my desk.

"Even though I hate to say this I am with Romeo on this, you would never do something like that for any woman unless it was your mother or Rosa." Greyson said while taking a seat infront of me next to Romeo.

They aren't wrong but I won't admit that out loud. I have never felt the need to protect anyone that wasn't in my family or mafia but seeing Brielle in the hospital and how scared she looked made something inside of me clicked.

"Will you two leave it alone already."

I hate the fact that Brielle only came into my life a few weeks ago and she already had gotten some reaction out of me that I've never had before.

I don't know what to do but I do know that no matter how I feel I promised myself that I will not put anything above finding Nikolai.

Even if its the last thing I do, Nikolai Volkov will die at my hands.
