His Only

Chapter 66

3 days to Christmas

Kaitlyn woke at 6 a.m. before sunrise and prepared everything for Alessio's last day of daycare. Taking out the freshly baked brownies, she packed them neatly into a large container. 

"Gwood mawning Mama" the little one comes walking into the kitchen all dressed up. 

"Good morning baby" Kaitlyn looked down at the little boy wrapped around her leg, "Wow... Papi got you all nicely dressed huh?" she commented adorably, 

"No... Aunty Zu dress me" he replies laughing to himself, "me one two time?" He asks which in his language translates to 'Can I have a piece'

Kaitlyn filled his mouth with the brownie and laughed when he asked for more Kaitlyn kept her hands on her hips saying 'no'. "Where is Papi?" Kaitlyn put away the dishes and asked, 

Alessio shrugged his shoulder and shook his head but then thought hard and said, "Papi had a visitor outside" he looked down on his tea and silently said, "He never let me see his friends" 

"Maybe these friends are the bad ones, baby. That's why. Papi is only doing that to protect you." She kissed him on the head and walked out through the kitchen door. As the boy had said, Ricardo was outside with a hoard of men around. They seemed to be tense, while Kaitlyn couldn't see what was happening inside their circle. 

She marched behind the crime scene and found a man held back being tortured to the point his face was in pieces and his entire attire was crimson —soaked in blood— "Ric?" Kaitlyn crossed her arms and looked at her husband, 

"Ahh... ok I can ex-"

"I don't want to hear it. Pack this up and take it back to the main house" she demanded and continued to rant angrily, "Jesus Ric! What if Alessio saw? He's almost 3 this is not the age or time" 

"Ok. Ok, chill I'm almost done"

"I don't give a shit. Wrap it up now before I pull the trigger myself" When Kaitlyn turned around to get back to her work she gasped making Ricardo turn again, "ALESSIO" she screamed and covered his eyes quickly but the child had already seen everything, "RICARDO!" 

"Fanculo" _Fuck_ he cursed under his breath and quickly ordered his men to "finisci questo" _finish this_ he ran and picked up Alessio. Covering the boy's eyes by hugging his tightly Ricardo took Alessio inside. Kaitlyn angry about everything stormed towards the people and asked them, 

"Someone tell me what happened here"

"This man was trespassing and your husband asked that he be interrogated here" a man honestly spoke, 

Kaitlyn reached into his side pocket taking the pistol out she kept a clear aim and shot the man to his peace —death— "There. Now get this off my lawn" she ordered and walked back inside the house. When she did she came to face her husband lecturing their son or so she hoped he was. 

"Ok, papi" the little one agreed when Kaitlyn entered the scene and he requested he be carried and hugged by his mother to which Kaitlyn nodded glaring at Ricardo. 

"What did I do?" He raised his hands questioning in defence. 

"You know exactly what you did" Kaitlyn muttered and set the little one down on the couch to tie his shoes for him and grab his brownie box for school. Ricardo followed behind her into the kitchen to plead his case. 

"It was a harmless thing, he barely saw much because of the men standing around Kaitlyn. Sei drammatico" _You're being dramatic_ she shouts making her roll her eyes, 

"Non avresti potuto avere un po' di pazienza e occuparti di quell'uomo nella casa principale?" _Couldn't you have had a bit of patience and handled that man back in the main house?_ She threw her arms up in protest and crossed them, "Forget it" she muttered and grabbed the brownie box to leave but Ricardo held her back,
