The Italian Businessman

Chapter 13

Brea and I got to the entrance. The bouncers didn't ask for our IDs instead they greeted us with a nod, I figured Brea was well-known here.

When we entered, girls were grinding on men in suits, dollars were getting thrown at strippers, a gang was busy with weed and shots and one girl cried about how a guy she liked doesn't notice her. Blame alcohol.

Brea kept holding my hand tight because of how crowded it was. We then went through the crowd to what I assumed was the back. The stopped in front of a black door written privacy in bold and white.

Brea opened the door. Then two guys came running towards us shouting Brea's name. Once they came into contact with us, Brea and I got sandwiched whilst they gave us a warming hug. Brea started crying hysterically. What? You were fine 2 seconds ago.

"Roberto, I feel like it's my fault Nico is hurt. I know brother and papa are going to help him but he still got hurt.", Brea said.

"Listen bella, Nico will be fine. I promise baby girl.", Roberto replied after giving Brea a kiss on the forehead.

The other came to me since he saw I was scared and alone . He held my shoulders gently and said something in Italian with the thick accent rolling off his tongue. I just looked at him and gave him that 'I don't know what you're talking about ' look.

"Oh, I just asked if you're fine.", he smiled.

" I think I am. I'm just scared. ", I said.

He then hugged me warmly whilst tears ran down my face.
Oh, I understand why Brea cried. Just overwhelming.

Then some men came inside the office we were in and switch on the lights.

"you guys are twins?",  I said whilst looking at Roberto and the other guy.

"Sí", they replied in unison.

The men in tuxedos informed us -well, Brea that her dad and Brandon are on their way. They said Nico and her mom got shot whilst they were cooking for the family dinner. Nico got shot thrice while her mom got punched in the face by some guy. Wow!

I made a mental note to ask Brea to ask her when we're alone.

A lady in her late 40s came in with food after Roberto asked her to bring it after Brea got informed about what happened. Roberto and the other guys sat on the other side of the office giving Brea and I time to eat.

This was the perfect chance for me to find out.

"Hey Brea, what's with Nico getting shot and your mom getting punched? I'm just lost, a club is a headquarter. Which is cool but what's happening?",  I asked with difficulty.

"As I said Winter, Brandon will tell you everything once he gets back from the mansi-"

Brea got interrupted

"My bambino!", an older man said hugging Brea.

I looked on my left and saw Brandon.

"Brandon!"

"Winter!"

Brandon embraced me in a hug and kissed my forehead while I silently sobbed.

"I was scared Brandon, I was so scared.", I cried.

"Shh, I'm here now. I'm here to protect you bella ."

Brea awed and everyone laughed. I just hid my face in Brandon's chest .
