Chapter 27

Warning some violent scenes!

Alessandro's POV

The next morning I went out early, I arrived at the warehouse where Johnny had Donatello, and I grew angrier. Antonio tells me that we arrived and helped me into the building.

"AHH, good thing you arrived early because I would have killed this son of a bitch myself," Johnny says.

"Stop joking around; now, bring me to him," I insist. Johnny leads me to where Donatello is tied up.

"Haha, this is the so-called mob who wants me? Psst, as if I'm going to tell you anything", Donatello mocks.

"Johnny, will you shut his trap?" I asked him. Johnny hits Donatello, and I hear every hit, "If I were you, I would shut it." Johnny says.

"Now, I want to know why you wanted to take my wife." I asked calmly.

"I don't know what you're talking about", came Donatello's reply. I nod my head, and Johnny hits him again.

"I will ask again, why did you want my wife".

"And I will tell you again. I don't know what you're talking about, and you hit like a pussy", Donatello says as he spits out blood. Johnny went over to the door and pushed a small table inside.

"What do you want to use first, Alessandro?" Johnny asks as he takes the cloth from the tools on the table. I know how Johnny operates; I don't need my eyes to tell me what he's doing.

"Take out the pliers," I reply.

"I know you are into human trafficking, so it's either you wanted to sell my wife or you wanted her for yourself; my guess is number two. But what I don't understand is why?" I say to Donatello.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, Mancini. Be careful, because you're messing with the wrong person. I warn you, if you don't release me, everyone you hold dear will suffer a slow and painful death," Donatello threatens with a grim tone.

"Pull his nails", I demand. Johnny starts to pull Donatello's nails, and I hear Donatello scream.

"Ready to tell me?" I ask him again. Donatello just laughs.

"Put his fingers in acid." We keep going on like this for another half an hour, as I say.

"Take him to his cell; I will be back later. In the meantime, I want you to find all of his warehouses and inform the cops about the girls there. Then, I want you to take down every single casino he owns."

"Sure thing, Mancini. When is Lisa going home?" He asks.

"We are going to the hospital now." I told him that we were going to get her today. Antonio came inside and led me back to the car.

"I don't want Lisa to know about this. Did you make the arrangements for our stay in Miami?" I asked Antonio.

Yes, Mr. Mancini, everything is ready for our arrival in two days", Antonio replied.

"Good, hopefully after this operation I will have my eyes back," I say hopefully.

"I wish so, Mr. Mancini". Was Antonio's reply. We soon arrived at the hospital and went to see Lisa. Doctor Rossi was just on his way out when we arrived.

"Good morning, Mr. Mancini." The doctor greets

"Good morning, doctor. How is my wife?" I asked him.

"Mrs. Mancini is doing just fine; she can go home this morning, but she needs to rest for at least two weeks. If she complains about any headaches, I want you to bring her back. I will prescribe the medicine she needs to take", the doctor tells me.

"Thank you, doctor". We enter Lisa's room.

"Good morning, Mrs. Mancini." Antonio greets Lisa, "Good morning, Antoni, Alessandro." Lisa greets.

"I hear you can go home today; Maria and Alice will look after you. I have to leave in two days, so the boys told me they will stay over until I'm back," I say as I sit next to Lisa. I missed her last night in bed; the pillows smelled of her perfume, and that wasn't helping me much.

"O, are you going to be away for long?" Lisa asks with disappointment clear in her voice. I notice the sadness in her voice and smile, knowing she's still affected by me.

"I don't know how long I will be away, but I promise to phone you regularly," I promise Lisa. The nurse brings the forms to get Lisa's discharge. After handling everything, Lisa and I went to the car.

When we arrived home, I went to the bedroom with Lisa.

"I think it is wise to take some rest. Lilani went to school, so Alice will get her." I say this as I take her hand. Lisa let me lead her to the bed, then she climbed under the covers. I think I shocked her when I went around and laid next to her.

"I won't be here for lunch; I will ask Maria to bring your food up to you."

"Thank you, when are you leaving?" Lisa asks carefully.

"In two days, Antonio is coming with me," I answer her. Lisa keeps quiet; I wonder what she's thinking. I'm going to miss her. I draw her closer, take her head, and lay it down on my chest.

"What are you doing to me, Lisa?" I suddenly asked her as I played with her hair.

"Eh, WH... what do you mean?" Lisa is confused.

"Every time you're around, you bring out a side of me that no other woman has ever seen before. It's like you awaken a gentleness within me that makes me want to reveal my true self, free from arrogance, anger, and heartlessness."

"I, eh, I don't know what to say; I mean, I feel flattered", Lisa says. I lift her head with my finger and then trace her lips. I slowly bend down and start to kiss her.

Suddenly the bedroom door burst open. "O baby, are you...?" Bianca's voice interrupts us. Bianca is pissed off at the scene in front of her. I can tell because she stops talking.

"What the hell are you doing here in our bedroom, Bianca?" I asked her in a harsh voice.

"Baby, I have missed you, so I decided to come and visit you", she says innocently.

"We won't be receiving any guests until Lisa is fully healed, so you can turn around and leave, O and Bianca. If you dare to set a foot in my house again, there will be consequences. Do I make myself clear?"

"What!! You can't be serious, Alessandro! She can rest here while I take care of your baby; you know how much I missed you." Bianca continues.

Lisa, honey, will you please call Antonio for me?" I asked her in a low voice. Lisa immediately calls Antonio.

"Mr. Mancini wants you in his bedroom, Antonio," Lisa informs him.

"Antonio, please escort this gold-digging woman out of my house; she's not allowed in my house again. Do I make myself clear?" I say it in a cold voice.

"Yes, Mr. Mancini". Antonio says as he takes Bianca out.

"Don't touch me! Alessandro, you're kicking me out? I love you. I thought you just wanted to punish me for leaving you. Please, don't do this to me". Bianca shouts.

Bianca, as you can see, I am a married man. I will never, and I mean never, leave my wife for you. Do I make myself clear? Stop behaving like a whore! I'm getting tired of you showing up here like you own the place. If I ever see you near me, my wife, or any other family member, you will regret it!" I tell her angrily.

"This isn't over!" Bianca says as she turns around and leaves.

I took Lisa's hand before saying, "I think I must start locking that door because every time I kiss you, someone or something interrupts us. I will finish this later, but now I have some business to take care of. Please rest a bit." I kiss Lisa one last time, then call Antonio to take me to Johnny.

When we arrived at the warehouse, Johnny, Kevin, and Jake stood outside waiting. "Welcome back, Mancini, while you were busy with your wife, we worked our asses off to sink Donatello." Johnny says.

"Thank you, guys. Did he say anything yet?" I ask them.

"No, he just keeps saying he doesn't know what we are talking about." Kevin answers.

"Take me to him", I command. "Well, well, well, look who came to visit me," Donatello says.

"The only time I want to hear your annoying voice is when you answer my questions," I say dismissively.

"Do you have everything we need?" I asked Kevin and the guys.

"Yes, everything is here. With what shall we start?" Kevin asked.

Well, I was thinking about the water and electricity; what do you guys think?" I ask for their opinion.

"Whatever you want, Mancini." They say it together. I began questioning Donatello.

"Why did you go after my wife?" I ask again.

"Haha I want to fuck her so hard that she won't be able to trust another." Before he gets to finish his sentence, I pour water over him and take the electric cable.

"I'm going to fucking kill you!" I shouted at him, angry. Donatello just laughs when I take a gun and shoot him in the leg.

"Next will be your dick, answer my fucking question," I say while holding the gun near Donatello's private.

"Alright, I will tell you. Mr. Lombardi sold her to me, saying you don't want her, and she doesn't want to divorce you even though she knows you love his daughter." Donatello eventually tells us after two hours of torture. He knows that after this, the Lombardi family will have his head.

"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" Kevin asked. I called the guys and told them to drop Donatello off at the police station, and then they must come to me to plan Lombardi's downfall. After that, I went home. Lisa was still sleeping when I asked Maria about Lisa. I don't know why I have this feeling, but I feel like I should protect her from everything that wants to harm her. I have this urge every time she is near me. I went to my office and began to do some work before dinner. Antonio told me Lisa was awake. I nod and ask him to take me to her.

At the table, Lilani tells us about everything happening at her school. "I have a father-daughter day coming up," Lilani says sadly.

"When is it taking place?" I asked her.
