My Italian Capo

chapter 42

Funny how Lorenzo said I can call him if I needed anything but when I'm actually calling him...his phone is off

I need to know what he's doing right now. I don't want him to kill an innocent man on my behalf... I don't want blood on my hands again.

I should've just told him it was Robert this whole time. I should've told him that Robert is the one that kept me away from him...That Robert is the one that had me kidnapped in Italy

I waited in front of the door for Lorenzo's return.

I then proceeded to question the guards about Lorenzo's whereabouts but they didn't know.

I was dishing up the dinner when Lorenzo walked through the front door followed by his three brothers.

They all looked out of place. Are those specks of b-blood on their shirts?
Their hair was out of place; the eyes looked puffy and a little swollen

"Lorenzo" I placed the food on the table "I've been trying to get ahold of you for hours" I said as I walked closer to them "have you been drinking?" I frown as the smell of alcohol hit my nose

"We o-only had a f-few glasses" Paul stutters as he walks to the dining room

"I smell food" Jayson announced and followed the smell of the food. Oscar walked right behind him

Lorenzo took hold of my hand "I have something to tell you all...is Summer back?"

"Yes; she's in the dinning room" I said and we walked in silence. We all took our seat at the table

Lorenzo made the children watch the telly while he made his announcement

"So?..." Lauren quizzes

Lorenzo clears his breath but doesn't say anything

"Padre (Father) is dead"Jayson says

What?

"We said we were going to tell them properly Segone (loser)"Oscar smacks the back of Jason's head

I look over at Lorenzo to look for a sign of a lie but instead he just nods his head.

Laurens mouth is agape and Summer keeps looking around the table.

"How?" Lauren asks "What happened?"

"We killed him" Paul says "that man is pure evil"

"I don't understand" Summer spoke up "he's our father"

"He is not the father I thought he was"Jayson says

"Let me explain" Lorenzo sighs "Angelina has been acting off ever since you guys got here" Lorenzo starts

Is he blaming me?

"So I decided to check the CCTV footage of all the rooms in the house this morning. I saw how dad hit you mom...I saw how he punched you. How long has he been doing that mother? You've been covering yourself up for years properly...I was so enraged when I saw the footage. Later on at night he beat you again and you put on more make-up today.
He had the audacity to put hands on my fucking wife" he raises his voice
"He strangled my wife" he lowers his voice
"At that point I was seeing red...it all started to make sense; he's the reason why Angelina left, he's the reason behind my wife living in fear for all these years. My wife had been exposed to all the dangers of the mafia when she left. He acted like he was helping me find her but in actual fact he was just making sure that Angelina stayed away from me. I can't believe I was so blinded by him being my father that It didn't even cross my mind that he would do something like this to his own family." He reaches out for my hand
"I missed out on three years of my children's lives because of that man...I always thought I was the epitome of evil but that man takes the cake"

At this point Summer and Lauren were in tears.

"This is what I was trying to avoid" I speak up "I didn't want to drive a wedge between you and your family"

"I'll understand if you want me to leave" I say and stand up

"Wait!" Summer calls out

"Don't go" she also stood up with tears in her eyes "please"

"None of this is your fault child" Lauren spoke up this time

"Madre(mother) is right...you shouldn't blame yourself" Lorenzo says "it's not like you're the one that's been beating my mother for years...it's all his fault"

"I thought you would blame me for all this" I confess

"You thought wrong" Lorenzo chuckles dryly "I just wish I could've found out sooner" he pulls me closer to him

We spent the night comforting Summer...she took it harder than Lauren. She knew that Robert hit her mother but she was still saddened by the fact that her father died. She understands that the world will be a better place without Robert Rosi.

I'm not saying that I'm rejoicing at someone's death but I am happy that my children can grow up in a fully functioning family and I get to live my life with my husband, my love, father of my kids, MY CAPO CRIMINI...Lorenzo Stephano Rosi.
