-Part twenty five-

Enzo's pov

It's a couple of days after that night we decorated the house, and I knew everything was too calm and great in my life

I got a call today from one of my men saying someone tried stealing the last damn shipments and a lot of my men got ambushed and hurt

I had the man and the others involved brought to the warehouse

I called Matteo, and he said he got a bit beaten up but not too bad

So of course I am speeding to the warehouse to make sure Matteo and all my men are alright

And so I can kill that piece of shit who tried stealing my damn shipments

I'm entering the warehouse and I don't see or hear anyone at first

I quietly take my gun out to use just in case

I stupidly didn't call back up cus I all I was thinking of was Matteo and my men

Yes I am a damn mafia king, but that doesn't mean I don't have a heart

In fact, I'm trying to distance myself from the mafia world especially because of my daughter and now Zara in my life I don't want to put my 2 girls in any danger

These past few years I have been slowly distancing myself from the mafia in hopes of completely leaving it

I'll still have my almost billionaire dollar company so money won't be an issue

I just want to keep my family safe

I'm about to enter the main room they should be in but before I can enter I get a blow to the back of the head and am soon met with darkness

~an hour later~

I open my eyes to see myself in a room at the warehouse

"Well well, someone's finally awake," someone says

"What the hell do you want" I spit out

"The shipments you imbecile," the man says

"Just take the damn shipments and let me go" I yell

At this point I don't give a damn about any shitting shipments, I just need to get home and make sure Matteo and my men are ok

"Oh we will take them, but how about we shut you up first..." the man says

I'm tied up I have nowhere to go, my men might be dead on the floor and all I can do is do nothing

So I take the hits, the cuts, and every blow they give me

I pretend to be out cold and it seems to work because I hear them talking

"Ok looks like you beat him almost to death, now let's LEAVE," one of them says

"Yeah yeah, hurry up and go grab the damn shipments," another man says

After about 30 minutes I get the strength to break out of these damn ropes and shit

I basically crawl out of the damn room

I get the strength to get up and slowly make my way to check on my men

I see that there all alive

I call my other men to track the people who stole the shipments

There's no damn way there making it out alive for this shit

We all make our way to the cars and some of the men driving are getting checked out by our doctor while others are going straight home

I on the other hand I'm going straight home, I just wanna see my daughter and Zara

ZARA...shit how the hell am I gonna explain this to her

Zara's pov

I hear the door opening while I am in the kitchen

I turn around only to gasp and drop the spoon in my hand

Enzo is covered in blood, bruises, and cuts

All I can think when I see him like this is the pain I felt when I was being beaten by my parents

Oh God pls don't tell me someone does this to him and I haven't noticed

"Oh my God Enzo are you ok," I say coming up to him while lightly touching his cheek that has a cut on it

"Yeah I'm fine," he says slightly twitching as I touch his cheek

"What happened" I whisper

"It's nothing I'm fine, don't worry Zara," he says sighing like he doesn't look like he got beaten to almost death

"Enzo you don't look fine to me," I say

"Did you get jumped or something?" I ask

"Or something" he sighs

"Wheres Mia?" he asks

"She's asleep, it is 11" I smile weakly

"Enzo, you don't have to tell me what happened but ill tell you what you told me the night of my panic attack, please tell me when you're ready, "I say eyes tearing looking at him all beaten up

God zara you can't have a panic attack when Enzo needs help right now

My parents can't hurt me anymore there all the way in Seattle and they can't find me, I'm ok...breathe

"Ok deal," he says

"Okay, I'll go help you with the cuts and stuff," I say grabbing his hand leading him to the bathroom

I'm not a doctor by any means but I had cuts all the time and bruises all the time so I know how to take care of it to not scar...

We're now in the bathroom and a realize that I need to see all the damage on his stomach and stuff so here goes nothing I guess

"Can I take your shirt off?" I ask

"Well I would rather take you out on a date before anything but go for it" he chuckles

"Enzo this isn't funny your hurt, this isn't time for jokes," I say shaking my head

"Maybe I wasn't joking about the date," he says looking at me in the eyes

Well shit...did this man just ask me out?

"Enzo we can talk about whatever you want AFTER your not all bloody, I need to clean you up I don't want you getting an infection" I sigh

As I unbutton his shirt I try hard not to cry as I see cuts and bruises everywhere and? Are those Tattoos

Oh damn that's hot he's got TONS of tattoos I'm not sure how I never noticed them leaking from t-shirts

"I'd didn't know you had tattoos," I say in a whisper

He chuckles "now you do"

I smile

I began cleaning but realize the man is too tall

"Can you sit down or something your too tall" I slightly laugh

What I don't expect him to do is pick me up and put me on the counter

Shit that was hot

"There problem solved," he says smiling

"How are you smiling right now? You must be in so much pain" I say starting to tear up again

I don't want him getting beaten and hurt potentially like I was

"You being here's making me forget about the pain" he shrugs

Awwww he's so cute...and hot anyway

I smile "can you come closer I can't reach your chest like this"

He spread my legs apart and steps between them...geez is it getting hot in here

"Better?" He says smirking

"Yeah," I say quietly

Shit, he can probably see how nervous and flustered I am cus he chuckles

As I am cleaning him up I can feel his eyes digging holes in me

We're so close to each other if I Lean in a little our lips would touch

Crap stop thinking Zara

"How do you know how to clean the cuts so well?" Enzo asks

Shit shit shit...think Zara

"I was very clumsy" I smile a little

"With knives?" He lifts a brow

"Someone attacked you with a knife?!!" I say wide-eyed

"Stop changing the subject," he says

"I'm not changing anything Enzo" I roll my eyes

He gets close to my ear and whisper " smettila di rotolare quegli occhi Dannati" he says kissing my ear slightly which sends shivers down my spine

(stop rolling those damn eyes)

I don't even bother asking what he said being I feel paralyzed from that simple little kiss on my ear

"How do you know so much about cuts mhm?" He says getting incredibly close to my face

What the hell do I say to that

Well I guess I'll give him a bit of a lie...it's for his own good though

"I always cut myself when I was learning how to cook, and i would always scab myself with the razor while shaving," I say shrugging

And that is true I had my fair share of bloody fingers when I learned how to cook

And since I learned all myself since no one cared to teach me I had MANY cuts

"Didn't your parents cook for you or clean the cuts for you?" He asks slightly confused

"They were always busy with I don't know what so I learned to cook myself" I shrug

He just hums

The rest of the time I clean him up the tension is unbearable

Between his heavy breathy as I clean him up, to all the hot tattoos on him, and those eyes digging holes in me as I clean I can't take being in this bathroom anymore

I finish up and say "ok there, are you sure you're okay?" I say brows knit

"Promise," he says kissing my forehead

"Thank you for helping" he smiles

"Your welcome, goodnight Bello" I smile and kiss his cheek as I head out of the bathroom

"Goodnight Principessa" he smiles

I'm still on cloud nine from the forehead kiss and earthing he did

That nothing registers until I'm in bed

I hope Enzo is alright, oh pls don't tell me Enzo is getting abused or something I don't know what I would do if someone was hurting him

I'm falling for that man and I care so much about him

Enzo's pov

That girl is everything to me along with Mia

I'm falling so hard for her

Seeing her react to my slight touches and kisses makes me smile a little too much

I fall asleep so happy I have a girl like her in my life

I just hope she doesn't hate me forever once she finds out I do much worse to people than what happened to me, yes I only hurt the bad people but I hurt them nonetheless and I don't know how she will react when she finds out
