Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 18

Lorenzo's POV

"How's business in America going Cugino." Massimo asked as we enter his office and take a seat at his desk.

"That's precisely why I'm here."

"Oh? Why's that?" He asked while pulling out a cigar and lighting it.

"You remember Nikolai Volkov?." I asked causing Massimo to nod his head.

"Yeah he's the Russian fuck you have problems with."

I nod my head while leaning back in the chair making myself a little more comfortable.

Massimo may know of Nikolai but he hadn't met him and that might be a good thing.

Massimo stays in Italy he only ever visits America if needed, we both are very good at what we do it's just Massimo is a lot messier than I am.

He kills first and thinks later, which I would not have a problem with if he wanted to go against Nikolai.

In fact I really wouldn't hate the idea at all.

"Well he's been interfering with my shipments again, and killing my men." I explain.

"And why is Italy the answer to your problems."

"Well there has been some speculation that Nikolai has something he values alot here in Italy."

"And what's that?" Massimo asks clearly intrigued now.

"Her name is Layla Micheals."

"What happened to your rule about women and children?" He asked.

I still very much have that rule which I am gonna follow but Nikolai won't know that.

"I do and I still obey that rule, but I have a plan that will lead Nikolai right to me." I explain some more.

"Isn't taking things Nikolai cares for what got you in this mess in the first place."

He has a very good point, Nikolai is only trying to kill me for what me and my father did to his father and brother.

But I need this to end and the sooner the better and if this is what it takes then I will do everything in my power to make it happen.

"Gioco avanti allora cugino." Massimo said while giving me one of his signature smirks causing me to give him one of mine in return.

(Game on then cousin)

Nikolai Volkov should be dead by the end of this month and by my hands.

●●●

After me and Massimo were done planning the plan to get Layla Micheals he left to head to one of his clubs and I'm currently getting ready myself to head there.

I just got out of the shower and was about to get dressed but I then heard some noise coming from Brielles room which is right next to mine.

I make my way into the hallway with my towel still wrapped around my waist and then make my way to her door to see that it was cracked opened.

I then see Brielle standing on the balcony that was attached to her room.

She was crying while looking at the night sky, she was also wearing an oversize shirt that went down enough to cover her bottom half, but with the way she was leaning over the railing it was pulled up enough that I could see her lace underwear.

Fuck...

"I'm so sorry mom and dad." I hear her say while sniffling.

"I know I promised you guys at your funeral I wouldn't get myself into any trouble."

"I also know you both were looking forward to me marrying for love." She continues while letting out a chuckle that was filled with nothing but pain.

"I miss you guys so much." And with that final sentence she broke.

She then dropped down to the balcony floor while bringing her legs to her chest and laying her head in them to let out her crys.

What do I do?

I feel like an asshole just standing here watching her struggle but I'm not good with my own emotions let alone others.

After a few more minutes I decided that I wouldn't interfere instead I went back to my room and grabbed a black dress shirt with black dress pants leaving the first few buttons undone on my shirt.

After I got dressed I grabbed my keys to my car and I was ready to leave but for some damn reason I didn't have it in me to leave Brielle like that.

So against my own will I make my way back to her room, but this time I don't hear her crying anymore.

I make my way inside to see that she had fell asleep in the position I last seen her in.

I take a look at her for a few seconds before making my way over to her and picking her up and leading her to her bed.

Once I lay her down and cover her up, her eyes open slightly.

"Why me?" She asked causing me to tilt my head slightly to the side.

"What?"

"Why did it have to be me Enzo, why did I have to walk down that alley that night and why do I have to be fake married to someone I don't even know when I could find someone who actually loves me." She let's out while a tear slides down her cheek.

"Go to sleep Brielle." Was all I could say to her while she was fighting the tears in her eyes from falling down.

"I guess this is my life now." And with that she then turns to her left and drifts off to sleep.

"Mi dispiace che dovevi essere tu troppo bella."

(I'm sorry it had to be you too gorgeous)

I then make my way out of the house and to Massimo's club.

I definitely need a drink... a few actually.
