Leonardo De Luca

The meeting with Russo and Anthonio finished a while ago. It was 11 pm and I headed off to my bedroom to relax. But the thought of Alessia stirred something in me.
Guilt? Pity? Lust? I really can’t pinpoint.
For some reason, I felt restless and couldn’t sleep.
Ever since I left the kitchen that morning, I hadn’t seen her. At first, I assumed she might just want to be out of everyone’s way but right now, it’s strange.
I marched out of my room, and down the hallway to hers to check up. She’s pregnant with my baby after all. But just as I was about to get to her door, my phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Is this Leonardo De Luca?” It was a girl, and she was crying. I tensed up.
“Yeah, you’re speaking to him. Can I help you?”
“Please come downstairs. Your guards aren’t letting me in and I need to talk to you. It’s about Alessia.”
I tensed up even more. I hung up the phone, contemplating ignoring her as it might just be some form of trap. I wasn’t exactly loved by a lot of people.
I opened the door to Alessia’s bedroom only to find it empty. I walked over to the restroom to find it empty too.
I rushed out of the room, quickly shouting for Russo and Anthonio. “I can’t find her! I can’t fucking find her! She’s missing!”
I left them standing there very confused and rushed to my room and into my closet changing into some clothes very quickly.
I ran down the stairs and out the door, Russo and Anthonio following behind me. The girl I knew to be Alessia’s best friend, Isabella, stood in front of me. Her face was red and her eyes puffy.
Dread washed over my body.
“I–I’m Isabella, Alessia’s friend. We went out together about four hours ago.” She said.
What? How?!
I don’t like the direction this conversation was headed.
“Yes. I know who you are. Where’s Alessia?” I asked.
“I can’t find Alessia. We were together at the club and then I was gone for a few minutes and now I can’t find her. S–She’s just gone. Please tell me I’m mistaken and she made it back?”
This can’t be good. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.
“What club?” Russo asked.

His voice was laced with both fear and anger.
“The madhouse,” Isabella replied.
We all raced upstairs to grab whatever kind of weapon we might need and raced back down to my car.

I instructed Gabriel to get Isabella safely home as we sped off in the direction of the club. My head pounds with a million thoughts. I have a lot of enemies so anybody would have taken her. I fucking have no clue and it’s driving me insane!
Where the hell could she be? Is she in any pain? What the hell is going on?
We got to the club and jumped out of the car immediately as it screeched to a stop. I walked up to the bouncer.
“Have you seen this woman?” I ask him, holding up a photo of Alessia.
He studies the photo, nods his head, and says, “Yeah, she was here a while ago with her friend.” I never saw her exit the building though. “She must still be in there.”
We walked into the building. We searched the entire building and…. nothing. Her phone was going straight–to voicemail too.
We exit the club from the back door and suddenly, my phone pings. I quickly took it out of my pocket, hoping it was Alessia. It was a video message and it came from an unknown number.
. I clicked on the video.
“Hello, Leonardo.” Enzo’s voice says. He’s standing in front of something but I can’t quite make out what it is.
Oh no! This is not good. I glanced over at Russo and from his demeanor, he thought so too.
“Who the fuck is that?” Anthonio asked.
I ignored his question, clearly not in the mood to answer as I turned back to the video.
“You know, you were never on my raider until you took my girl away from me!” He chuckled.
“Anyways, me and her had a little chat and well, we’re back together. At least for now.” He smirked.
“When I saw her leave the house, I followed her to the club where I saw her shaking that fine ass of hers and I knew I wanted a taste of that again!” He continued. “And oh! Did she tell you she was pregnant? I’m gonna have fun with this one.”
He turns his body to his side and that’s when I see it.
Sitting on the chair in the video is Alessia, half–naked and scared shitless.
The next thing I know, I see Enzo’s hand flying across Alessia’s face. I threw the phone over to Russo in anger. My palms were sweating.
“I can’t watch this.”
I heard Alessia squirming in her chair as she cried out in pain. My heart beat faster in fear and I walked away, pacing down the alley.

I grabbed the phone Leonardo threw at me and watched. Enzo owly licks Alessia’s checks and kisses her. He pulls back and then punches her in the face again, then kisses her.
“Oh damn, I’ve forgotten how good she tastes and that’s not the only part I’ve forgotten about.” He winked at the camera as he licked his lips.
Fuck this shit!
I threw the phone away and it landed on the ground with a million pieces flying every which way.
I just didn’t care that I destroyed my boss’s phone. The only thing on my mind was getting my sister away from that monster!
I want to hold her. To wrap her up in my chest and tell her that everything’s going to be okay.
It was all my fault! If I hadn’t convinced Leonardo to spare–Enzo’s life, he’d be lying dead I unrecognizable in a ditch somewhere.
I’m gonna kill him! I’m gonna fucking kill this son of a bitch! War be damned!
“What the hell, man!” Anthonio yelled at me.
“Who the fuck is this dude and why aren’t we going to get him?” He asked, fuming.
I shake my head out of aggravation.
“Let’s go,” I said through tight lips, walking away.
“Where the fuck you going to? I give the commands around here!” I heard Leonardo yell.
“I think I recognized where they might be from the numerous background checks I ran on him. Now, are y’all coming?”
I’m gonna make that son of a bitch suffer!
