Chapter 98
Frank
What the fuck he doesn’t think she’s safe with us, who gives him the right to even think that. “Well, I beg to differ and with this war of yours you could have put Cat’s life in danger.” I spat at him so angry I didn’t know what to do with myself. “Like I told Cat her life was never in any danger my men knew what they were doing.” Alejandro said as cool as ever. Doesn’t he ever lose his patients. “Well, anything could have happened and she could have been in danger.” John said. “Well, she wasn’t now can we move on please?” I got up and walked out of the restaurant if I have to look at his smug face a minute longer, I might just hit him.
Enzo
“Where is he going?” Alejandro asked innocently like he didn’t say anything to upset us. Between me and Nico we are the level headed once we don’t normally get to upset but even Nico was reaching his limit, we never thought our fathers will give us the wrong story not when we took over from them and especially not when we told them we are going to find the Capone heir and bring her back as the Mafia’s princess, they should have came cleaned then. Why did they protect Marchetti, why are they still protecting Marchetti. “I need some air.” Nico said as he got up from the table. “I don’t understand why you guys are so upset?” Alejandro said with a smirk on his face, he was enjoying this. “Alejandro, you know if you didn’t start this war, our priority would have been only Cat, but you made it difficult.” “That’s the problem then you would have corrupt her faster.” Before I could say anything, Cat said “Alejandro we talked about this please they are not corrupting me I want this. Now stop this nonsense and get to business.” Alejandro nodded at Cat and said “I’m sorry Cat, I should see you as a grown women I know, it’s just a bit difficult.” “Then I guess you should try harder.” John looked at Cat then at me, my God she was standing up for herself to a Cartel boss the biggest cartel boss in Mexico. To say we were impress was an understatement. “I’m sorry guys it won’t happen again. What do you need from me?” “We need your help to make sure Cat walks out of the Marchetti house tomorrow.” John said before I could. “And what about you guys.” “If it’s our time it’s our time but it’s not Caterina’s time yet Marchetti is sitting her in a bad situation.” John went on. “You do know he wants her DNA, right?” Alejandro asked like we didn’t thought about that. “Yes, Alejandro, we know that is why we are there.” “I can give her a cartel member as her bodyguard that way Marchetti will know she’s under my protection.” “We also thought about that but if he didn’t worry about you guys when he started the war why would he now, I mean the only person that is standing between him and complete control of the Mafia families in Chicago is Cat?” I asked. “It gives us more time to prepare Enzo, tomorrow is just to confirm his suspicion.” “And when it’s confirmed then all hell will break loose.” “You will give us men to protect Cat?” I asked shocked. Why I was shocked I don’t know I mean he promised her father to look after her and now he is doing exactly that with us asking him to help us. I will give her my own bodyguard if that means I get to protect her from Marchetti.” Alejandro said very seriously.
That gave me pause if we go overboard Marchetti will know something is up. “Let’s not do that not for tomorrow. Or else we could just as well put a board around her neck saying I’m Caterina Capone Heir to the Capone family.” Alejandro scratched his chin and said, “Okay I’ll give you my 3rd in charge, no one knows his so close to me.” “We need snipers to.” John said. “Off course where should I send my men?” Alejandro asked. “Frank’s place I’ll send you a location.” “Well then it’s getting late, Cat here got a lot of information from me tonight and I’m sure she’s exhausted which means I’m going to leave you guys and I’ll see you tomorrow.” Alejandro said as he got up from his chair. “Why would you see us tomorrow.” I asked confused we didn’t ask him to come. “Sorry just how a speak.” He said with a grin. He walked to Cat that was sitting between me and John, he took her hand and kissed it. “Don’t worry nina you will be safe.” Then he walked to the waiter and paid the bill. I didn’t like that fact that he had called her child but I got it. When he was out of the restaurant Frank and Nico walked back in. I took Cat’s hand in mine “Are you okay angel?” I asked her. John was rubbing her back which was something else, him being affectionate “I’m okay just shocked that my father and Alejandro were such close friends, and that my father tried to protect me all those years.” “What do you mean?” Nico asked
“According to Alejandro my father didn’t want me to live with him because he wanted to have some sort of say in my life, which I’m thinking was a bit selfish of him I wouldn’t have gone through even half the stuff I went through if I stayed with Alejandro but non the less. You know the boy that took the canning for me?” “Yes” We all said. “Well, that was a boy my father paid to look after me. In every home I’ve been in, there was a boy that was supposed to look after me.” What about the rape do I even asked her about the rape, where was the so-called boy then. “And apparently the boy that raped me was tortured and killed.” “Oh, wow Cat that is very big news.” I said pulling her to sit on my lap. I could see how cold she was getting just by talking about all these stuff.
“Let’s go home angel.” I said picking her up and carrying her outside the others followed us I’m sure they weren’t happy about it but they didn’t say anything. When we got outside it was clear Alejandro stuck to his word, he didn’t just leave one bodyguard he left 5 they won’t easy to spot except the one at the front door he immediately introduced himself as Caterina’s new bodyguard Pedro. “Pedro I’m taking Cat home now I’m sure we’ll be fine from there on.” “I’ll follow you to your place, then I’ll leave.” “Suit yourself.” I said as I walked to my SUV. “Guys I’ll call you later.” There where some moans and groans but they let Cat and I leave.
