Fear No One But God

Chapter 61: "Limp"

Alessandro Pov

"You tried to make amends with Frediano yet?"

"No." I said back on the phone

"I thought you didn't need me anymore you said I was practically useless."

After that conversation with both of them saying they were done with me I had no reason to even be in Florence but never thought of leaving. I hadn't spoken to this person in weeks tried calling a couple times but no answer but now l had gotten the call I had to answer.

"You are Alessandro but that doesn't mean you can't do what I asked of you, plus Frediano is going through something right now and he needs you to be there for him."

"You should know when Frediano is done with someone he's finished, no coming back you should know that of all people."

"The girl is done with him."

"Frediano's plaything how do you know?"

"By the way she's looking, it looks like she heartbroken."

"Are you following her."

"I'm having having someone follow her and by the looks of it she headed back to the hotel and ready to go pack up and go home but that's just a guess."

"Well I'm near the hotel right now I could talk to her about Frediano and confirm it." I said

"By the way your fucking looking and your slight limp she might look at you funny."

"What the fuck are you talking about, you have someone following me?" I asked

"Maybe, maybe not but you look some what unclean but knowing you, you just woke up barely brushing your teeth and put on one of your less shitty suits to limp near Frediano's hotel instead of his home because you know you'll never be allowed back in there but you dream.You dream being friends with him second guessing yourself why you decided to betray him in the first place with me but you don't think any further than that because you don't want to even imagine what happens to you if Frediano knows you betrayed him or even knows I'm alive your dead either way....

"Now go slowly walk yourself over to the hotel right now and ask her where's Frediano and a little later in the day go to house and see him he won't open the door but try to make him, and Alessandro don't call me till you have results."

"Yes Mr. Benza"

Emerald's Pov

With the taxi driver stopping right in front of the hotel I give him the little money I had left purse and exited the vehicle trying not to feel the heartache from this morning I couldn't take one more lie but I don't want to think about that right now, I need to think about where Monica and I are going to stay at and what to say to Monica asking me what's the reason for us leaving the penthouse.

Of course I know Monica would persuade me to go back home with her and let everything go back to normal with me sketching drawings of beautiful homes I saw around the city and gorgeous paintings at museums I've drawn many times before. Speaking of sketches I just realized how I haven't drawn in two weeks occupied with Frediano and his bullshit. Now walking towards the elevator I feel someone grab my arm gently looking up to see who touched me it was Alessandro with same diamond earrings and but something was different about him he looked rugged wearing a wrinkled black and white suit with no tie and black shoes to match but his face looked weary his beard was unshaven

"Is Frediano with you?" he asked

"No" I quickly said looking at him up and down like he was crazy.

Not even a Hi or Hello but asks about Frediano this is ridiculous.

"I need to talk to him." he said fidgeting around in process

"What does that have to do with me, I'm not his keeper." I said with a little attitude

"Your fucking him aren't you?" he spat back at me

"Are you out of your fucking mind back away from me."
I nearly yell clearly thinking this guy lost his mind

"Ok ok I'm sorry I really need to speak with him." trying to hush me up in the process

"Listen I already told to you to stay away from me Frediano's not my problem anymore." I said walking away from Alessandro afterwards

Going onto the elevator and the pressing the penthouse button I watch Alessandro quickly leaving the hotel

The elevator doors finally open to the penthouse and I see Monica in a floral sundress with white gladiator sandals with her hair in a cute updo

"I heard the elevator ding I thought it was the maids."

Not trying not burst into tears I put on a strong face I just look ing at Monica makes me know she was right about Frediano all along and say "Well you and my parents got what you wanted all along I'm going home today."

"What, what are you talking about Emerald what's wrong? Monica said confused walking toward me

"We're going home today you didn't hear me the first time." I said moving away from her not wanting the comfort me I go straight to my room

"Emerald, Emerald." What happened

Flinging open the closet doors grabbing the first big empty suitcase and throwing it on top of my bed I rush to the dresser opening the drawers to grab my clothes and throw them into the suitcase

"Emerald what's going on is it Frediano." Which she knows it is but asks anyway

Still ignoring her I suddenly feel tears down my face and a soreness in my heart having some memories of our short time together feeling conflicted how could a guy who was sweet and open with me continue to lie about anything. Maybe I should have heard him out and listened more to what he had said but something about Giovanni being there messed with my head even more something about him intrigued me I don't know....

Feeling monica grab me by my arm to face her she looks at me with worry "Emerald what are you crying for you need to tell me now." demanding me  I say something to her

"He played me ok, Monica yelling at her Frediano was playing me the time he was fucking his ex fiancé and I feel like a fucking idiot I thought this was going to be good thing, something I thought was going last you know I just wanna go home you were right you're always right ok so just pack your things we're flying home tonight." I finished saying finally breaking down in her arms.
