are you?” Declan called out.
“Just respond and go meet him. Don’t be scared, baby.” I walked away and let her go out to him.
I could hear them talking.
“Hey my mom made a pie for you. Apple, your favorite.”
“Thanks, Declan. Your mom is so sweet. Tino can you take this to my mom before I eat it without a plate.”
“I’m not your fucking maid. Do it yourself.”
“You’re a fucking lazy cunt. You need to take your ass back to my uncle. You’re fucking useless. I’m not in danger from Dante Franchetti. I’ve given him no reason to think so.”
“No, but he thinks you did. He was informed that you turned him in. He’s going to come kill you.”
“No, it’s you he’s going to kill.”
“Bitch, you should have died when they first grabbed you. It doesn’t matter because your family is going to be fucked.”
Declan shouted, “You don’t talk to her like that.”
“Shut the fuck up,” he said.
Joe creeped around the corner, and I could see out the kitchen door where it’s just slightly opened. He raised his hand to hit her, and I rushed out the door. He turned around to see who it was, thinking it was her father, I punched him straight in the face, sending him to the floor. He reached for his gun, but I struck him again and laid him out.
“You dare tried to put your hands on her. You already had a death sentence, now it will be slow.”
“Joe, Reggio, tie him up.” I looked at her, and she smiled slightly. She whispered, “I never talked to the police.”
“I know, amore. Come here.” She did, and I kissed the fuck out of her. “I missed you. We have a lot to talk about, but I have some shit to deal with.”
I walked into the den and wheeled her father out, still bound to the chair. Tearing the tape from his mouth, I said, “Mr. Daley, I’m Dante Franchetti,” I saw the fear in his eyes, but this wasn’t the way I planned to meet my father-in-law who by all accounts was a great and honest man.
“Don’t freak out. I’m not going to kill you, your wife, and definitely not Regan. I going to untie you, but only if you promise to behave. I’m a man of my word, are you?”
“Am I? You raped my daughter, you sick bastard. I hope my brother-in-law tortures you before he kills you.”
“Talk like that is something you’re going to regret. I’m not the enemy, and I sure as hell didn’t rape Regan. Anything that happened between us was consensual. She was completely with me. Do you know how I got your daughter in my grasps in the first place? You’re dear brother-in-law let my men take her. They dressed her like a slut. Diana, the whore we were supposed to grab, ditched her at a nightclub. I’m just glad my men grabbed her before some creep took her.”
“So you were going to steal my niece, and that bastard used my daughter as the bait and switch.”
“Yes. Just so you know they’re were going to have you all killed too, and it was looking like that’s what Tino was planning to do before we stopped him.”
“I’m supposed to believe you?”
I called out to the hallway for Regan. “Amore, come in here please.” She gasped in shock when she seen her father tied up.
“You said you wouldn’t hurt him.”
“Does it look like he’s hurt?” I shook my head at her.
“Dante,” she scolded. Oh no, here was the trouble my father warned me about.
“I was going to let him go, but he’s being stubborn. He doesn’t believe me. Cara, please inform your father how we met.”
“Diana took me shopping all day, and I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t have a choice. I was trying to be a fun cousin, but everywhere we went it was like we were famous and had to be surrounded by guards and hidden under hats and glasses. It was crazy. Then we went to a club that night dressed exactly the same. Then she told me she and her boyfriend were leaving for a moment to…you know,” she said with a blush. Fuck. I forgot how innocent she was until she met me.
“Well they
