The Rock Star and The Mafia

Chapter 75

Alessio couldn't help but think his wife seemed different somehow and what bothered him was he couldn't put his finger on it.

They'd spent a lot of time sexing each other up, talking and just resting in bed, only emerging to eat and then returning to bed.

Tommaso had been holed up in his room with Cassidy and ever once in a while he and Cheri could hear laughter coming from that direction.

Cassidy had to return to work this evening which made it easier for them to take care of their family business, without any outsiders.

Alessio knew that Tommaso and Cassidy had deep feelings for each other but she had to swear Omertà before she would truly be one of them.

He watched his wife in their bathroom getting ready. He would never tire of watching her do the simplest things.

Even though her body had not yet started showing signs of pregnancy, her breasts were fuller and he loved playing with them any chance he got.

Her body was encased in a tight, black lace dress that came mid thigh and she'd adorned her feet with six inch black stilettos. She was pure sex and she was his.

He watched her add blood red lipstick to her amazing lips, making them stand out more. Alessio felt a stirring beneath his dress pants, a wish to have them wrapped around his cock.

Walking in behind her, he put his arms around her waist and looked at her through the mirror. "You know" he started and then kissed the side of her neck.

"There isn't one more thing you could do that would make you more alluring and breathtaking than you are right now" he was so in love with her.

"Alessio, I have no illusions about tonight. I know it won't be pretty but I need to see this to the end. You know a lot of what happened but there are things that were said and done that can never be reversed."

With that being said, Alessio took her hand and led her from their room to the kitchen where Mas, Lorenzo, Rico, Sal and Diego were waiting.

Mas made his way over to his sister, her eyes clouded with tears at what that bastard did to his face.

Taking both of her hands in his, he raised them to his lips and softly kissed them. "Hey sis" he said gently. "Don't cry for me. It looks worse than it is" he reassured her.

"Are we ready?" Alessio asked. Cheri and Tommaso nodded while Lorenzo got the door.

The drive took about forty-five minutes to get to Don Bonatti's territory where they would be joined by Don Angelo Silveri and the other five families.

Alessio couldn't help but notice his wife squeezing and letting go of his hand, apparently unaware that she was even doing it.

"Baby, my hand isn't the enemy" he whispered into her ear making her blush. "Sorry" she said quietly. "It's going to be okay, Cheri. He can never hurt you or Mas ever again. After tonight, he will be nothing more than a forgotten memory."

His words seem to sooth her as he felt her whole body relax. Just then Lorenzo announced they were getting close and Lorenzo felt her body tense up again.

"Cheri, you need to relax. It's not good for you or the baby to be stressed out" he gently admonished. Nodding she expelled a huge sigh while pulling up to what looked like a normal warehouse.

There were probably fifty vehicles parked in various spots, of different makes and models. Alessio took her hand once he exited the SUV.

Smoothing out her dress, Cheri took her husband's hand and her brother's hands, squeezed them both, held her head with pride and walked with them.

While Alessio's organization did not have a tight bond with some of the men here, this was an occasion that brought them all together in a common goal...to send Frank Lantana back to the gates of hell.

The massive area inside the warehouse got deathly quiet when they entered. The first group they saw was Vinny Bonatti and his crew.

"Alessio, welcome" he said extending his arms.  "Cheri,my dear" he greeted.  "Don Bonatti" she said respectfully.  "My dear, in this case I'm just Vinny" his smile broad.

"Vinny thank you again" Cheri told him.  "You're mi famiglia, it's what we do" he said proudly.  She nodded and they moved on until they reached Angelo Silveri.

"Don Silveri" they acknowledged.  He nodded receiving the greeting.  "Come.  Sit here" he motioned to empty chairs that sat at tables surrounding the perimeter.

Alessio pointed with his chin, to the middle circle, where a lone chair sat.  She nodded in acknowledgement.  It was his chair.

Alessio leaned in and told her that it was time to sit down.  She looked around and noticed people taking their chairs.

Once everyone was seated, Don Silveri got up and spoke.  "Please bring out the prisoner."  Cheri immediately looked to her left where she heard a door open.

They heard the chains rattling before they saw him.  As soon as they rounded the corner, Frank looked right over at Cheri and Mas, sneering at them.

Frank was shoved into the awaiting chair and once he was seated, Silveri stood back up and addressed the syndicate.

"Franco Giovanni Lantana, you have been found guilty, by this syndicate, of the highest crime of treason.  Your sentence, which is death, will be carried forth immediately."

That was it.  Alessio squeezed Cheri's thigh and she patted Tommaso's knee.  Angelo looked at Alessio and nodded.  That was their signal.

He looked at his wife and said "It's time.  We're going to a separate room.  Cheri, you are going to see a side of me that's not pretty, if you want to bow out I will understand."

Cheri put her hand up to cup his face.  "Where you go, I go.  He fucked with my family in so many ways and I need to see this through."

He nodded, silently admiring her fortitude.  Taking her by the hand, he led Cheri and Mas to a secluded part of the warehouse where they were met by Silveri, Bonatti and Joey.

Holding the door open, Alessio motioned Cheri and Mas where to stand while he started taking his jacket off and rolled up his sleeves.  Cheri thought he looked hot as hell.

The door started to creak and everyone's attention was drawn to the noise.  Bonatti's men were bringing Frank in and walked him to a moving table.

He just glared at all of them, sneering at Tomasso and scoffing at Cheri.  The only person that he showed any reaction to was Alessio and it was fear.
