Saved By Him

Chapter 19

Valentino Moretti

I finish having a shower and change into a new set of clothes, consisting of shorts and a top.

It was quite hot here in Germany, so I didn't have to dress warm. Neither did I want to dress formally to avoid any attention.

A knock sounds at the door and I go to open it, finding Vincent and Lorenzo outside.

"Hey brother" Lorenzo says with a grin, whilst I roll my eyes and walk away from the door as they both enter.

"So, things seem to be going smoothly with you and Isabella" Vincent says in a hinting tone.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask, my voice rather harsh.

"I'm just saying what I observed" Vincent says raising his hands with a grin, before he continues.

"You know, helping Isabella to swim, well float, was a nice thing to do man. Your lesson will be the reason she'll never drown in the future. I'm proud of you"

"Yeah well it's nothing big, and I still don't trust her" I say as I place my shoes on.

"Perhaps not now, but I'm sure that'll change very soon" Lorenzo replies.

Where is all this coming from?

"You guys seem to have been observing very closely" I mumble in an accusing way.

They nod, "duh, we were keeping a watch on Isabella until we saw you approach".

"Is that so? Well then tell me one thing, what was that piece of shit doing with her on your watch?" I ask, my voice raising.

"Who Josh? Oh he was a friend she made. He was teaching her how to swim" Lorenzo answers.

"Right and since when did we trust strangers so easily. Why didn't you stop her from hanging out with him? Or even scare him away?"

"Isabella was having a laugh with him and he seems like a genuine guy. Who are we to intervene?" Vincent responds and I feel my jaw clench.

"Nice guy or not, we shouldn't be associating ourselves with these people and creating risks for ourselves" I say annoyed.

"Are you sure that's the sole reason for why you didn't want them two hanging out" Vincent asks raising an eye brow.

"Si" I respond, "And anyway, I still blame her".

"Blame her for what? You can't possibly be holding her responsible for Alexander's sins" Lorenzo says with slight anger.

"I'm not blaming her for that, I'm blaming her for being the cause of my irrational actions" I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"What do you mean?"

"The first night we met her, when there were Russian men after her. I was suppose to take some of those men captive and torture some answers out of them. As soon as I saw them chasing her, I shot them all irrationally" I groan.

I'm always in control of every situation. That never normally happens. That shouldn't have happened.

"It's more rational than irrational Val. Plus, our plan now is better and stronger. With Isabella's help you really will get the revenge you always craved for" Vincent says placing a hand on my shoulder.

I close my eyes thinking about the reason. It was enough to rid all distractions from my mind.

I will make sure he suffers in the same way he made her suffer.

I take out my wallet, staring at the photo.

I will definitely get revenge for the death he caused her.
