Chapter Sixty

She pouted and rubbed her hand over his cock, he was enraged grabbing her hand he flung her across the room,

‘Non toccarmi mai più’ [Do not ever touch me again]

He stood over her panting hard, he wanted to beat her so badly it took all his willpower not to.

‘Angelo, tira fuori questa donna dal mio ufficio. Sono sicuro che Amid potrebbe usare un nuovo volto’ [Angelo, get this woman out of my office. I am sure Amid could use a new face]

A look of horror crossed her face as she processed his words,

‘No, no Romero no, cosa penserà Juliette di te, per favore non farlo’ [No, no Romero no, what will Juliette think of you, please do not do this]

She begged him and it only served to repulse him more,

‘Quando scoprirà quante volte sei venuto da me, la sua presunta migliore amica, non credo che sarà così preoccupata’ [When she finds out how many times you came on to me, her supposed best friend, I do not think she will be that concerned ]

He nodded at Angelo and his Guards picked up the struggling woman and dragged her out. It was not something Romero did, yes, if he fought another Don or an enemy the women he took were the spoils of ‘war’ his to do with as he wanted. That was Mafia law and as he ran four brothels he was always needing fresh stock, unlike the other Dons he rarely beat them or let his Guards abuse them. He had them sent straight to his brothels that way he did not have their plight on his conscience. On the odd occasion one of them was pretty enough to catch his eye, or he needed to relieve his aching balls then he did rape them taking his pleasure and walking away. He was no innocent, he enjoyed women and had done from a very young age but since he had set eyes on Juliette she was all he desired. It did not mean he had no sex, far from it, his maids would testify to that but they were very willing, after all he was gorgeous and they all fell a little in love with him. They meant nothing to him, just a means to an end, he would push them over the arm of a chair and satisfy his need then tell them to get on with their work. He always gave them a bonus in their wages but he rarely looked at them again.

Carlotta was horrified when she was dragged from the van they had thrown her in and taken into the large secure building, it was surrounded by high walls covered in barbed wire. When they passed through the huge door it clanked shut securely behind them locking instantly. She was taken into a room where four cruel looking women waited, they were dressed in old fashioned long black dressed with white aprons,

‘Elabora lei’ [Process her]

A well dressed Arab male said turning to the Guards,

‘Dai a Don Romero i miei ringraziamenti Signori, farò in modo che questo sia trattato così come gli altri’ [Give Don Romero my thanks Gentlemen, I will ensure this one is treated as well as the others’]

Carlotta was led to another room where the women ordered her to strip and she was thrown into a freezing shower, they scrubbed her all over and when they finished she was given a small white dress that barely covered anything and led into another room. To her horror she was made to walk along a dais while men ogled her and placed their bids, she was no fool she knew what was going to happen and there was  nothing she could do about it. Lots of women disappeared this way, Sicily was so close to the African border and they enjoyed European women, the two men who won her dragged her into another room and raped her repeatedly. This was her life now, sold to whoever wanted to buy her, used and abused and then sold again. A week later they came for her and found she had hung herself with her sheets, it meant nothing to them, they simply disposed of her body and used the next one sent to them.

Juliette was unaware of her friends demise, she was locked in a killing spree that she could not break, a week after the first killings she repeated it. Dressed in black and riding the powerful motorbike she went after three more Dons, this time they were ready and she shot her way through them. Something else America had taught her, shoot first ask questions later, she was a deadly assassin and killed ruthlessly, the other Dons held a meeting with Romero,

‘Portatela fuori o lo faremo noi'[Take her out or we will]

They told him coldly, she had signed her own death warrant, if he did not get to her first they would kill her, they gave him forty eight hours so he set his trap.

Juliette was tired, the logistics of what she was doing took a lot of planning, she was meticulous in her investigations into the Dons she went after first. She hacked into their private information and discovered their secrets, then laid her plans but everything was checked and double checked, she genuinely did not want innocent people to get hurt. When they did it was collateral damage she did not let it bother her, sometimes in life people died when they should not have. The Authorities were getting worried too, the bodies were piling up as they realised the Mafia had gone to war with itself. The Head of the Police told his men to simply ignore it,

‘Se vogliono uccidersi l'un l'altro, lasciateli, alla fine è meglio per noi‘

[If they wish to kill each other, let them, in the end it is better for us]

They left them alone so it was easy for Romero to set his trap for her.

Juliette knew she had gone to far, she had thought that the killings would not affect her but she was wrong she did not get hardened to it like the men.
