Her Revenge

54

|Azalea's POV|

"Ms Reed, I believe we had a deal." Gerard said, using my fake name. Like I said, nobody knew my real name. He was sitting in front of me with a cup of coffee in front of him. My eyes, however, were fixed on my son who was playing in the kids'corner.

It was fascinating how he took after Enzo. He had almost all his features. The little girls who were also in the kids' corner were drooling at him. It was cute.

"I know" I said to Gerard without removing my eyes from my son.

"You said you needed help and we helped you. You needed help to cover your tracks so that nobody can ever find you and we did. We helped you. Now it's your turn to help us."

"And how can I help you?" I was curious. When I moved in to Australia, I met Gerard and his men who covered my tracks and helped me in hiding.

They didn't take anything in return. Gerard simply said that when the time was right, he would ask me for a favour.

"We need information on Enzo De Luca." He replied making me freeze in my seat. Why?

I slowly diverted my gaze from Nick to him, "What?"

"I know you know Enzo De Luca. This..." He pointed to my son, "is his child, no?" He smirked, "Now tell us everything you know about Enzo. That's all we want. Informations."

"Why do you need to know about Enzo?"

"Because" Gerard paused, "I want to kill him. I want him dead. I pissed him off and he is after me. I want to kill him before he can reach out to me."

Did I want Enzo dead? No, of course not.

I hummed in response, "Sounds like a you problem to me." Gerard glared at me, "We had a deal. You have to tell me everything you know about Enzo."

My eyes went back to my son who was playing with the other children there. I was In a restaurant where they had a small playground for kids.

"The only way I'm repaying your favour is with money. Take it or leave it, Gerard. I don't really give a damn." I spoke calmly. Gerard chuckled darkly, "You don't wanna mess with me, doll."

Just then I saw two men approach my son. They both grabbed him by his two arms, lifting him up from the ground. I clenched my jaw and fist in anger. Now they asked for it.

"Put him down" I said calmly to Gerard who only smirked in response. I leaned comfortably in my seat, my eyes fixed on the man sitting in front of me who clearly had a death wish.

"You think you're going to get the information out of me by threatening my son's life? Assumption of the fucking year."

Gerard furrowed his brows as I nodded at my men, more like Alessio's men who were hiding in the shadows. They came out, used their silencer gun and shot the two men dead. The people in the restaurant began panicking and within a second, the place was empty.

Nick was unfazed by the sight. He just ignored the two dead men and ran towards me.

I took out my gun and shot Gerard in between his legs from underneath the table itself. He screamed in pain and blood was gushing out from him. I put my gun back in it's place and stood up. Then I picked up Nick and walked away, without a care in the world.

"They deserved it" Nick mumbled, "They messed with me."

"Oh, yes they did." I mumbled back, "They most definitely did. You want ice cream, love?" He nodded with a huge grin on his face. I put him in the car before sliding into the driver's seat before driving away to an ice cream parlor.

**

"I want them all" Nick pointed to all the ice cream flavors then looked at me with a pleading face, "Please?"

"Only one" I replied, not wanting him to fall sick. He pouted but nodded nonetheless. After our ice cream arrived, both him and I ate our ice cream in peace. He had cream all over his mouth as well as his nose.

"I want more" He said when he was done. I had barely finished mine. I shook my head at him, refusing him. Just then, a cup of ice cream was placed in front of him. Without bothering to look up at the person, Nick grinned and dug in his ice cream once again.

I didn't have to look up to see who it was; I already knew who it was. Alessio.

"You don't wanna keep the kid starve, do you?" The annoying voice of my brother asked making me roll my eyes, "That's my son, Alessio, get your own." He rolled his eyes back at me before lifting Nick from his seat then sat down, placing Nick on him.

"How's my favourite kid doing?" He asked, directed Nick's spoon which was in his small hand to his own mouth. Nick smacked Alessio's hand, "Don't take my ice cream"

Alessio pouted at him, "Sharing is caring."

"Never heard of that" Nick shrugged to which Alessio groan, "Of course not" he shot me a knowing look, "Teach him some manners, would you? This kid's going to be a rude asshole when he grows up."

"Rude asshole" Nick repeated making me glare at my brother who gave me an apologetic smile, "Sorry"

"Why are you here? Did something happen?"

"Do I need a reason to visit my sister and nephew?" Alessio asked. I was serious. Something happened and It was written all over his face. He sighed, rubbing his forehead, "It's Enzo"

I looked at Nick who was busy eating his ice cream, "What about him?"

"He's getting engaged next week."
