Chapter 17

Luca

Everything was going wrong. Absolutely everything. The last two weeks of my life had been a nightmare and now I felt like I was in the worst sort of hell. My head was pounding, I was cut, bruised and bleeding from where Enzo had hit me, with his ring. I looked over at Anabel, standing there telling Enzo that she had information to give him that I knew she didn’t have. She had no idea who Fabiano had really been. And she certainly had no idea where his body was buried. I knew that for a fact. I’d made sure that I was the only one that knew where he was. I hadn’t even told Giorgio. I couldn’t afford to tell anyone where all the secrets were buried.

Killing Fabiano had been my retribution for many, many women. Killing Fabiano had been about a lot more than him trying to fuck Anabel. I knew she didn’t realize that. I knew she didn’t know that the man she’d been flirting with had been evil incarnate. I hadn’t wanted to tell her. Of course, I didn’t like her flirting with him. No one wants their girl flirting with another man. Especially a man like Fabiano. What Anabel didn’t understand was Fabiano would have taken what he wanted, whether she said yes or no. What she didn’t understand was her innocent flirtation would have led to them fucking that night. And not because she wanted to be with him in that way, but because Fabiano was a rapist and I knew that. But I hadn’t told. I didn’t want her to know about the photos I’d found in his apartment. Of her lying on my bed, touching herself, sucking me, riding me. Photos of her in the shower. Private photos that she would never want to be seen.

A part of me wondered if I should tell her. A part of me wondered if she should know every little detail about Fabiano. Maybe she wouldn’t have gone to the feds. Maybe we would still be together. Maybe in some weird cosmic universe she still would have loved me. Maybe she would have understood. But I tell her because I feel like I had to tell her. I felt like if she loved me, she would have trusted that every single thing that I did was for a reason. She would have known that I wasn’t just a cold-blooded murderer. Yes, I was in the mafia. Yes, I killed people. But I had a rule: no women, no kids, and no innocents. I did not kill just to kill. I knew she thought I had a temper problem. I knew she thought I was crazy. And I knew she blamed herself.

I knew she thought I killed Fabiano because she was flirting with him. But she had absolutely no fucking idea why he really had to die. She had no idea of all the other horrendous things that Fabiano had done. And I didn’t want to have to tell her.
