AMORE

Secrets revealed

Sicilia, Italy

Lorenzo

«Where do you want his body trashed? » One of the guys asked as I walked in the garage. I took long and powerful strides, watching as he nearly ran behind me.

«On my fucking head. You idiot trash him wherever in Sicilia» I seethed at him as I saw him take nod his head quickly. Shivering and clapping his hands nervously. I looked at him with disgust, what a waste of a man.

«Do you still want me to chop of Angelo's dick or was that a sarcastic comment? » he asked again, to which I stopped in dead in my tracks. I turned around to look at the pussys face, who looked terrified; «Do I look like someone who would joke around? » i asked him, pointing to my face that was stone cold. I bit my chapped lip and caressed my beard, watching him squirm under my gaze. He shook his head, looking down.

I held him up by the collar and slammed his into the wall, all the guys around him pretending that they weren't there. They continued working with finding information about the Chinese mafia. "I want Nguyens daughter in my fucking room in two hours. Stripped down to her underwear with a blindfold. If that isn't done in time, take her place and strip down yourself" I seethed at him, pushing him away roughly before taking out my cigar and continuing my walk to the garage.

I kicked the door open to see Nguyen sitting there with his face beaten to absolute horror. It looked as if his face had swollen up and his fingers were turning blue. I chuckled at the sight as I dragged another chair and sat right in front of him. He didn't talk or even look up at me.

"I ordered my man to bring Lina to my room in two hours" I spoke, watching him look up at me tiredly. Tears were stained on his chin, almost making me pity him. Almost. "I want her stripped down to her underwear and with a blindfold on" I managed to say before I witnesses him trash around in the chair. "MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS MORETTI! SHE IS INNOCENT-"his screams filled the room, making me lean back in my chair to see him use of his energy on absolutely nothing useful.

"Why?" I whispered to him, to which he stopped all his movement. He looked at me with defeat and chose the smart option by talking; "Lee is a greedy bastard. He wants to take over the whole mafia world and is starting by the Italians first" he spoke and hissed when the rope cut deeper into his skin.

"Why should I believe you?" I asked him, watching another tear fall down his cheek. He chuckled at that and didn't hesitate in answering quickly; "I have been here for some days now Moretti. Lee kills every man who gets caught in a mission, so I am a dead man either way and now that I have ratted him out, I am going to end up dead either way. I just need to get out to help my daughter escape" he told me, looking directly in my eyes. I nodded at him because I knew he was telling the truth. Lee had many men and used all of them as his dogs.

"We had an alliance with his father who was a great man" I spoke again trying to dig out more information. "Why would he turn around to stab us in the back?"

Nguyen breathed in and out slowly, trying to stay awake. "Money, he wants the money and power. He had sent guys over to Iran to buy Khalids weapons and man power. The Persian guys are smart guys" he revealed, making me lean in closer and untying the robe around his hands. He rubbed his wrist and touched his swollen face, hissing slightly. The mention of Khalid and the Persians made my ears perk up. My heart was slowly starting to warm up, but I shut that down quickly.

"He wants the Persian with him so he can attack us?" I asked, confirming his own words. He shook his head and wiped away the blood from his nose before explaining; "I don't know Moretti, honestly. He sent the men to send the message that if they didn't help him in taking you down, they would be attacked next. If they did however, he wouldn't go after them, but we both know what kind of man he is". I nodded agreeing to his statement, Lee was definitely a backstabber.

"Yeah, about that" I started, running a finger through my hair "Lee was the one who told me where and when you would be entering my territory Nguyen. He attacked me a day prior, purposefully missing the gunshot so I could find his name carved in the bullet. He also sent one my men a card with the address and time of the alley you and your men were hiding at. He wanted you dead" I told him, expecting him to do the heartbreak scene in front of me. However, I was pleasantly surprised when he started cussing in Chinese and punching the chair with his already damaged hands.

"That mother fucker" he whispered to himself, almost forgetting that I was sitting beside him. I smoked my cigar calmly, feeling the smoke fill my insides and calming me down. I even started blowing out smoke in round patterns, waiting for Nguyen to get over the betrayal already.

"When is he planning to attack us?" I asked, looking at him.

"I don't even know myself. He clearly didn't see me as a friend Moretti, I wouldn't know" he told me seriously. I saw as Nguyen clutched on to the gun wound on his back that had made his lose a lot of blood. He was going to die in the end and we both knew that.

"About your daughter Nguyen, I will take care of her as family. She won't get in the hands of Lee" I muttered to him, watching him smile slightly through the pain.

"Thank you, man. And yeah, Lee is going to bribe Khalid for his sister. Your woman" he whispered before he closed his eyes, laying his head back.
