CHAPTER 19 Lily's POV

Andrea and William had been fighting about pizza being a salad for four hours now. I'm not sure if I should be impress because they are smart enough to prolong this debate or pity them for being dumb enough to fight about it.

I decided to ignore them and checked my phone, I still haven't received any message from him today. I sigh and look at the clock. Salvy left five days ago to do some underground dealings, he usually messages me during this time. I badly want to message him but I know he is busy.

I accidentally threw my phone at William when it rang, I really don't like phone calls but Salvy prefers calling me.

William caught the phone before it landed on his face. "What the fck? Not the face Lily Fiore." He said.

He checks the ringing phone. "Saliva is calling you, want me to answer?" he asked.

I stood up and quickly grabbed my phone. I went to the bathroom and locked the door. I opened the water on the sink because I'm sure that they will be eavesdropping.

"He-hello" I said

"Hello my angioletto. Where are you? What's that sound?" he asked.

Sound? What sound? Oh the water. "I'm in the bathroom and ahmm yeah"

"Is it a bad time to call you?" he asked.

I shook my head. Wait he can't see me. "No-no. I've been waiting for your call"

"Let me guess William or Andrea is in your room? And might be listening to us?" He questioned.

Wow he's good. I nod my head, Sh!t I slap my forehead. He can't see me! "Ye-yes. Is the water too loud?"

"It's fine. How are you? Can you turn on your camera? I want to see you" he said in a low voice.

Did I hear that right? He wants to see me. I turned on the camera, thank goodness I brushed my hair earlier. "Turn on your camera too." I asked.

"Wait. I just have to clean some things" he said. There were some random sounds on the other line and a weird shout from Enzo.

He turned the camera and I was blessed with a sight that caused my lungs and heart to jump. A shirtless Salvy sporting a beard, messy hair and several bruises on his torso and face. The bruises and beard gave him a bad boy look that I never thought I needed in my life.

"You okay? You froze? Are the bruises that bad?" He asked.

I shook my head, What should I say? It made him look hot. Too hot for my brain?

"Thank you for the compliment my angioletto, Being in a bit of pain is worth it if you think it makes me hot." he chuckled and winked.

I almost dropped the phone. "Wh-why do I keep saying things out loud? I-I mean ahmm you've always been hot, the bruises made you ahmm hotter." I slap my forehead, my face is red from embarrassment. "No-no What I really mean is are you okay? What happened?"

"I'm okay" He smiled and laughed at my rambling. "I just had to communicate differently with a few people." he explained.

"Communicate differently?" I confusedly asked.

"Yes, It's normal here. I'll be going home tomorrow, Can I take you on a date?" his blue eyes intensely stare at me through the screen.

I nod my head. I don't think my tongue wants to work after that heart dropping stare. I heard some muffled sound from his side.

Salvy sighed. "I need to go my angioletto, Wear anything you like. I'll pick you up around 6pm?"

"Bye. Please take care." I softly said, and he ended the call.

I put my phone in my pocket and closed the faucet. I opened the door and saw my two best friends happily eating the leftover pizza that started their fight.

"Who won the argument?" I asked.

They glared at each other. "We will continue later, too hungry too argue."

😇😇😇😇😇😇

"Can't you fcking keep them quiet!" I shouted, throwing the chair at the wall.

I looked at the two people tied to the chair. The woman tried to speak but was unable to form a word because Enzo cut his tongue and the man beside her was glaring at me but it looks funny since I removed one of his eyes earlier.

"Lover boy, don't you think it's dangerous to show your weakness to an enemy?" The man tied on the chair laughed.

I laughed with him and stepped at his eyeball that fell on the floor. "Who said you're a threat Pedro?" I grab one of the knives on the table. I ran the end of the knife on his face, making sure he bleeds.

"She sounds so innocent, I bet she tastes good." he smiled disgustingly and licked the blood on his face.

I tightly hold the knife and stab the thigh of the woman tied next to him. The woman screeched in pain.

"Sh!t My fcking eardrums." Enzo said while covering his ears.

I looked around and saw speakers on the corners of the room. "Nice sound system. I heard that you allow your clients to personalize their own torture chambers and asked them to make a playlist of songs they want to play when their raping and torturing their slaves." I grabbed two knives and stabbed Pedro on his arm and thigh, he bit his lip to suppress himself in making a sound.

I twisted the knife on the woman's thigh, and she let out a high pitched scream.

"Turn on the speaker and play their playlist, I think any song is better than hearing this b!tch." I commanded.

(The song Open up your heart (and let the sun shine in) by Frente! played through the speakers.)

"What the? You sick son of a b!tch! You fcking rape children while listening to that song?" Enzo shouted and struck Pedro with a steel bat on the head.

I sigh and untie the woman. "Martha right?" I asked her.

She nods her head and tries to pull out the knife on her thigh. "Try to pull that out and I will add 3 additional knives to your body." I warned her.

She lowers her head and stops moving. I smiled at Pedro and signaled Anthon to bring two items for me. I showed her a power drill, the drill bit has a barbed wire on it and a dull knife.

"I'm not a heartless person. I will let you choose, Do you want your husband to use a power drill on you?" I winked at her "Or you cut off his d!ck and balls using a knife" I pointed at his husband using the dull knife.

She took the knife, Pedro's eyes widened. "Boys help Mrs. Lopez remove her husband's clothes." I motioned them to help Martha. "And Martha please start with his balls, Slice it on three parts before completely removing it" I instructed.

(The song Bizarre Love Triangle by Frente! played through the speakers.)

"What a fck up playlist" Enzo laughs and they rip Pedro's clothes.

"That's one of my Mamma's favorite songs. You fcking ruined the song for me." I sigh and twist the 2 knives on his arm and thigh.

"I will fcking kill you" Pedro shouted.

I sat down on the sofa and Enzo sat beside me. "Mrs. Lopez Please entertain us and I might make your death quicker and easier." I mockingly smiled at her.

We watch her slowly and painfully try to slice her husband's balls, Pedro is shouting in pain while his wife is crying her eyes out.

Enzo gave me a glass of whiskey. "Are you really going to ask her tomorrow?" he questions.

"I like her a lot. What's wrong in making it official? I literally sleep in her house every night." I answered

"It's just look at this" he motions to the show we are watching. One of Pedro's balls is currently halfway cut "I know that you already told her that we are from the Mafia but does she have any idea on what we really do? She almost cried when you shouted at us, what more if she found out about all the things we do for a living."

I rolled my eyes. "I fcking know that. What do you want me to do? Give her a tour on our prison cells and chambers? Ask her to join me on our hunt for people like Pedro?" I took a big gulp of my drink.

He raised his hands in defeat. "You know that's not what I meant right? Just slowly get her used to our lifestyle. Don't filter everything she sees and knows. It will bite you back in the ass if you keep doing it. For starters, Let her know how many bodyguards she has and show her how we train and workout"

"Training? You fcker! You just want to show off to William" I smack his head.

"Yes" he smirks "but I also want Lily to see what we are capable of doing, that you might be a big teddy bear to her but you are also trained to be a killing machine. Again take it slow and keep on assuring her that you will never hurt her" he said while pouring another round of whiskey to our glasses.

I nod my head, His idea is not that bad. Sooner or later my angioletto needs to understand and accept what we do for a living.

"I still don't get why you don't want to check the records of her therapist. It will be easier for you to know what really happened to her. I tried to snoop around but William really does not have any clue and Andrea always avoids the question" he added.

"Where's your head Enzo? I'm racking my brain out to think of a way to introduce Mafia to her and gaining her complete trust in the process. Do you think accessing her records will be the best way to build her trust? And I want her to willingly share those things to me. She asked me to wait so I will wait" I sigh and continue to drink.

"You're so whipped." he laughs. "Wait did she already cut off his d!ck?" he asked.

I looked at Pedro. "No, his d!ck is really just fcking small"

I threw the glass on the floor and everyone looked at me. "I'm giving you all the power to do anything you want with Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. Bring them back home to make them your personal toys or kill them here, I don't care. Just remember boys they are the ringleaders of the biggest slave and pedophile ring on the underground world. We all work hard for five years to locate them. All the monsters you killed and tortured for the past five days were just their clients. I want this entire mansion burned to the ground before we leave. Capisci?"

"Yes Don" I heard them collectively say.

"Enzo make sure that all the adults and children that we saved will get all the proper help. Let all of the staff know that they need to carefully handle everyone, they just recently escaped hell. We don't want to add more trauma." I walked out of the chamber and checked my phone.

My lock screen is Lily, happily eating pasta. I can't help but smile. If things go well tomorrow, I will have an angel as my first girlfriend.
