The Mafia Rose

Chapter 29

Sofia's POV

We arrived home with dinner for everyone but after the day I have had the only thing I was interested in was a hot bath and bed. Izzy hadn't said much all the ride home, I could tell her mind was else where and by that I mean Chuck. "Look if you mope around all evening you're going to rise suspicions you know." She shrugged it off not saying much.

"Who's car is that?" I looked over to where Izzy was pointing, I didn't know either it wasn't a car I knew from anywhere.

"Carl, how's car is that?" Carl was one of the men on the gates. "I don't really know but he said you asked him over, if I'm honest I first thought it was Pietro but I knew it couldn't be him so I thought your father could take care of it." I left the food with Izzy and spirited to the house.

Voices became louder the closer I got to the door, I burst through not knowing what to except.
I knew however whatever happened next would be down to me. I had to be the one to calm the situation down but as soon as Gio appeared from the kitchen this situation was going to get a whole lot worse.

Gio's face turned red and tense as soon as his eye landed on Pietro.
Nobody said a word not knowing what was going to happen next. "Thanks for that you lazy ass just leave everything to..." Izzy stopped once she had walked in on the situation.

No words would come out of my mouth, I didn't know what to say mean he said about coming over but not this soon.
"Pietro... umm what are you doing here?" All eyes fell back onto him, you could cut a knife through the tension in the air.
"Yeah Pietro, what are you doing here?" Gio started to creep towards him. I looked back to Izzy with pleading eyes, Pietro was now going to die if we didn't do something quick. Izzy gave me a look back of disbelief, "Right, I don't know about you guy's but I'm starving and I didn't just get this to smell." She walked in the middle of everyone. "Now this is very inconvenient of you Pietro but I'm sure we can share this all out between us."

Izzy then started towards the kitchen, "well are you all coming or what..." With that everyone made their way to the kitchen apart from ivan, he came over to me.
"What the hell is going on Sof?"
I couldn't tell him the truth he would kill Pietro straight away which wouldn't bother me it's just there is more to this situation and I need to find out what it was. "Honestly I don't know, mean I saw him earlier said there was no hard feelings and he just said he'd pop over sometime." I shrugged my shoulders not knowing what else to tell him.

Ivan walked back towards the kitchen "Well why is he here now?" He shook his head at me. I couldn't give him an answer, I didn't even know myself. "Let's go eat and find out shall we." I gestured my arm to the kitchen just wanting to get this over and done with.

Pietro was sitting between mum and Izzy which was probably the best place for him at the moment. Me and Ivan joined the silent table with only Izzy trying to make small talk.
Dinner was nearly finished without any conversation, Gio continued to glare at Pietro, Dominic just looked as if he was trying to work it all out and Ivan just continued to get more and more tense. I put my hand on his leg to try a  calm him but nothing worked.

"Right I can't do this anymore!"
Gio lurched across the table grabbing Pietro by the scruff of his neck. Pietro in one hand, a huge steak knife in the other hand at Pietro's neck.
Everyone just looked on in shock, I however stood up to stop Gio but soon realised no one could stop him now.

"Now why don't you tell us all why your really here Pietro." Pietro's eye flickered between the knife and Gio's face. "Umm... umm I just thought it would be nice to make amends..." Gio's anger continued now pressing the knife against Pietro's throat. "See I don't believe that because last time we saw you was in Italy. Now I don't know if you need your memory jogging but you assaulted my sister!"
The knife began to press harder.
"I don't know what to say... I saw Sofia earlier and she said it would be okay."

All eyes then turned to me.
"He's telling the truth... well sort of, I didn't think he was coming over tonight."

Gio pulled the knife away from Pietro's throat and let him go. Pietro then gasped for air breathing deeply to get his breath back. "You're a psychopath." And with those three words chaos was about to break out. Gio stabbed the knife right through the middle of Pietro's hand on the table, stabbing into the table as well.

"Gio you fucking idiot look at my table." Mum was nearly in tears about the table. Pietro was just screaming out in pain, Ivan just laughed.
All out madness was happening. I looked of to dad who was just walking over to the coffee machine, "Dad do something!" He just shrugged and carried on walking. "Don't ask me I didn't in invite him." I look in disbelief. Mum continued to shout at Gio, Pietro continued to cry in pain. My mind couldn't take in anymore, I walked around to Pietro to pull the knife out from his hand but it was stuck. The more I wiggled it the more he screeched in pain.

"You're doing it all wrong sis." Gio pulled the knife straight out and with that Pietro fainted. The room then fell silent once more.
"I always knew he was a pussy. "Dad said whilst slurping his coffee.

"What do we do now?" I was the only one a little concerned about it all.
"Let's just dump him somewhere." Mum then hit Gio's arm. "Don't be so cruel, we'll have to patch him up and and sort him a room out we can't just leave him like this." Dad continued just drinking his coffee and not replying or even  acknowledging what mum had just said.

"Luca!"

"What... yeah okay do what ever makes you feel best just make sure the door has a lock on it and everyone go to bed armed tonight."

Mum rolled her eyes at him.

"So... does anyone know how to stitch then?"
