♥ CHAPTER SEVENTY''SEVEN♥

Lorenzo.

'' Well, I'm going to take a quick shower, I want to get this blood out of my body. “I get their attention.

'' Then go quickly, because Elisa might eat us all alive for taking so long.

I end up laughing a little at this.

“Fine, I'm coming. I say, heading for the stairs.

That day was too crazy.

I go into my room and throw the clothes in any corner, because this house will no longer be inhabited, Elisa will certainly not want to stay here anymore. In the shower, I let the water wash away all the blood. This is so refreshing.

Showered, I grab the first''aid kit, clean my wound and redress the bandage, grab my usual black suit and get dressed.

So, I leave the room and pass by several dead men on the way, leaving the mansion, spotting the boys getting into the van and David accompanying them.

“Burn this house down. '' I order, making him nod.

The journey to the airport was in total silence and when we arrived, I asked about Akira and Jackson, who will be staying in Korea with Elisa and Rosa. Akira will be the driver and Jackson the gardener.

On the jet, Elisa sits down next to Dona Rosa and I notice that she has a frown on her face. Sigh.

“She's mad, as much as we know that's what's best for her, it doesn't please her. She's very hard''headed, we're just trying to protect her and what we get is a frown.' Christopher snaps. He is the most explosive of the four of us.

'' She is afraid, Chris, afraid of losing us, just as we are afraid of losing her, we must understand her side. '' I say and he nods, going to sit down.

'' Let's just kill that son of a bitch so we can have our woman without any worries. Alex says and we nod in unison.

'' If that bastard wants war, he'll have it '' Dylan is cold in his words.

I sit in the armchair and fasten my seat belt. The jet starts to take off and I watch the landscape. When we fly I feel good, I feel free.

I never told Elisa out of fear, but I suffer from a split personality. One moment I'm me, and the other moment I'm someone I don't even know, L, someone I don't like to be, because he's a very cold and cruel killer.

I take a deep breath and decide to sleep, as the journey is long.

****

I'm woken up by Tom when we land. Soon we get out of the jet and see Akira waiting for us.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I'm the driver at Thompson Mansion. He bows and Elisa stares at us, not understanding.

'' When you want to go out and see the city, Akira will take you anywhere.

She nods, more relaxed.

We walked to the Limousine and entered, soon heading towards our old house. Elisa is tired, she lays her head on Dona Rosa's shoulder and stays still, until she closes her eyes, dozing. I smile. I love every bit of her, her smile while sleeping is too beautiful, her strong and brown personality enchants me. I am madly in love with this woman. I love her too much.

Soon we arrived at our old house and enjoyed our parents' mansion.

“The mansion remains the same. says Christopher, coming over to me.

I smile, remembering the good memories of this place. Really everything remains the same, nothing has changed.

'' Mom had good taste, indeed '' I laugh a little, followed by my brothers.

“I'm putting Elisa in her new room,” Dylan announces.

“I really missed this house. '' Dona Rosa says. '' It is a wonderful place.

I smile.

“Yes, this place is really nice. Alex smiles.

'' I'm sure your parents are very proud of their children, especially the woman you've chosen. '' She talks and we get silly.

“Yes indeed, she would be proud. Christopher looks around.

We've never been back here since our parents died. We left the city behind, we were trying to recover what we had lost, we started to train even more and we went up more and more. Soon we become leaders of the mafia and end up with several threats that arise ahead. I killed a lot, that's why L exists.

We walk into the kitchen and meet the spies, who bow.

“It's good to see you, gentlemen. '' Bianca says.

“Good to see you too,” I reply. "Our wife is sleeping upstairs, Dona Rosa will tell you what to cook for her." Elisa is pregnant and has to eat healthy things.

'' Yes sir. '' They answer in unison.

“Okay for you, Rose? '' I look at her.

“Of course, sir, I'll be more than happy to help cook for Elisa.

We all smile. Dona Rosa is like a mother to Elisa, I am very happy about that.

'' Here's how we'll do it: you keep the food, Rosa, they organize the house. Right? Alex asks, looking at them all.

'' Yes sir.

“That will be better for me. Anyway, gentlemen, where will my room be? I need to take a shower.

'' Thais will show you.

'' This way, ma'am '' Thais approaches and takes her with him.

“You can call me Rose, dear, not ma'am.

They leave the kitchen, out of sight. Fito Bianca, Laura and Vanessa.

"Is everything under control here?" Christopher asks.

'' Yes sir. There are sensors and cameras installed as requested. There are also secret rooms in case we are invaded, the weapons are hidden and only we know where they are '' Laura says.

'' Very good. Treat Elisa well, especially you, Vanessa, we know you don't like getting close.

“I know, sir, I'll do my best for her not to hate me.

I shake my head and look at my brothers.

“Are we going to stay here or are we going to leave?” '' I ask Christopher.

“We'll stay tonight. Tomorrow morning we return to Italy.

We all go to our old rooms, I walk into mine and soon the memories hit me like a punch. I close my eyes, remembering the day Mom was playing with me and telling me stories, my tears streaming down my face.

“I miss you so much, Mom, I miss you so much. I take a deep breath and wipe my tears.

I look around and find a photo on the bedside table. It's a photograph where we are with our parents, that day was wonderful. We had gone hunting in the woods and Dylan ended up tripping over a tree branch, he pushed me and I pushed the others. We fell into the mud, and our father started laughing at us. Just out of spite, we all dragged him to the mud too, our mother almost died from laughing so hard and insisted on registering this photo.

“That day was the best day ever. I look toward the door, seeing Dylan propped up. “It was the happiest day of our lives.

“It was, I remember it like it was yesterday. I say and he smiles, stepping closer.

“Are you ready, brother? I understood the meaning of your question.

'' Yes, I am ready.

“Then let's show that wretch who we really are.

'' I'm sure L will love killing someone after being trapped for so long.

'' I'm sure yes. Anyway, what were those unfortunates doing back at the mansion?

“They wanted to kill me and kidnap our woman for him. Sebastião wants Elisa.

Dylan goes rigid.

“Only over our dead body!” That bastard is going to suffer a lot for trying to kill you and wanting to kidnap our wife on top of that. We won't be idiots this time.

'' He won't get close to her like his father, if he thinks he's going to touch a strand of her hair, he's very wrong.

'' Very well, let's go to sleep to calm down Elisa, but tomorrow morning we'll all come back, because the faster we go…

'' We'll be back sooner '' I complete the sentence, giving a laugh.

Dylan pulls out and I throw myself on the bed. I can't wait for this party. You, Sebastião, will soon be a hundred meters underground. Get ready for this.
