Love's Precious Surprise (The women of Landry's Landing and the Fabrizio men) (11 page)

“
I’m about to show you just how crazy I am, so you like abusing young girls huh. Well asshole let’s see how well you do against a real man.” Daniele said angrily as he imagined all the things he wanted to do to this scum.

“
You caught me off guard with that kick to the face but I’m ready for you now punk.” The man said as he raised his fists in front of him as if he was ready to fight.

Daniele laughed humorlessly. “I’ve been waiting for this a long time you old fart. I’m going to beat you until I’m satisfied and I can tell you right now I won’t be satisfied until you stop breathing.”

“
Boy just because you’re big as a tree doesn’t mean that you’re bad enough to take me out.” The man hollered.

Daniele didn’t give the man a chance to say another word as he pivoted to the right and delivered a roundhouse kick at only half force causing the man to stumble sideways. The man shook his head and come towards Daniele throwing a punch that never reached its target. Daniele had much longer arms and much better accuracy when he threw a punch it land on its target every time.

Even after the man dropped to his knees Daniele was there beating him with the force of a jackhammer. By the time Toni returned with the rest of the family her stepfather was already unrecognizable with both eyes swollen shut his nose had been broken so badly that bone fragments had pierced the skin around the area. The man’s lips were split in several places and blood was pouring from his disheveled face like water from a faucet.

It took both Gio and Luc to stop Daniele from killing the man right there in the guesthouse.

“
Damn boy you could have saved some for the rest of us, you know we wanted to help kick his ass.” Indy said in amusement.

Toni ran over and threw her arms around Daniele’s waist. “Sweetheart are you alright? You won’t go to jail for this will you? I can’t lose you, I won’t lose you.” She said as tears rolled down her face.

“
Girl, have you learned nothing by now? He’s not going to jail because nothing happened your stepfather was never here you understand?” Indy said calmly.

Toni nodded her head indicating that she understood.

“
Good now you go take Daniele to mom and dad’s house and ya’ll stay there we’ll take care of this mess.” Pierce said.

After Toni helped Daniele get cleaned up they sat on the bed in one of the spare bedrooms. Daniele glanced at Toni and smiled slightly.

“
Are you alright
prezioso
, he didn’t hurt you before I got there did he?” Daniele asked with concern.

“
No darling, he didn’t hurt me but I was really worried about you.” She said with tears in her eyes.

He reached over and pulled her in his arms then kissed her gently at the temple. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to worry you, but everything is going to be okay I promise.”

“
I know because you never break a promise and I know what you did tonight was for me and I thank you for it. I love you so much Daniele. I never thought I’d fall in love but thanks to you I’ve found Love’s precious surprise.” She whispered happily.

“
And you are
il mio amore prezioso
from now until the end of time. I love you.” He said lowering his head to kiss her before making love to her passionately.
