Chapter 32

"Thanks babe, I needed that, " Filippo said as he zip up his pants and smiling he looked over at Robin.

"Did you enjoy the show? I thought it was only fair that you got to see since I did."

"I didn't look, you sick pervert," Robin snapped back.

"Tell me why you're doing this. Whatever it is you won't get away with it, Luca will find out and kill you".

"I see no reason in not telling you everything. I'm been given the power of attorney to his will, if anything were to happen to him it would be all mine. Eleonora was supposed to get married to Luca, once that takes place he would have a fatal accident leaving everything of course to his wife which was supposed to Eleonora and she and I would eventually get married."

"But you ruined everything by marrying him instead, and now you are carrying his children," Eleonora hissed.

"What do my babies have to do with any of these?"

"Well sweetheart, after you got married to him we had to change our plans which includes you getting pregnant." Filippo said, getting close to her.

"Getting pregnant makes his child sole heir to his vast fortune. With you and Luca dead, I would become the child's guardian, therefore have control over the child and fortune. Eleonora and I will raise the child together."

"Like hell we will, it will be sent to boarding school," Eleonora laughed.

"What are you going to do to me and Luca? And you said you only need one child."

Robin hissed through her teeth. She has never hated anyone as much as she hates these two.

"You will accidentally die during child birth, so sad. Luca will be involved in a robbery gone wrong and would be shot to death. But of course, we will let him bury you first. Works out good that way, he'll be grieving and won't be aware of what's happening around him." Filippo smiled and sat back down in front of Robin.

" Now about your babies, you kind of put us in a bit of a hard spot. Two children makes things complicated, only one can live. The boy could be trouble but the girl, we could control better, even arrange the perfect husband for her. Women are more weaker than men so I think we'll go for her."

" You are both sick, this isn't going to work, I'm not due for another month."

Eleonora laughed, it was an evil one that had the hairs on the back of Robin's neck standing up and watched as she pulled out a syringe from her purse.

" What's that?" She asked, her voice cracking as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat.

Eleonora grinned which was evil.

"Just a little something to induce labor. Oh don't look frightened, it won't harm the babies. I have a little something to give you after the babies are born, you won't feel a thing. Will be a shame that only one child survives but it will happen".

"Make it easy for yourself Robin and relax," Filippo said as he stroked her cheek with his fingers.

"Bastard" She swore at him and spitting on his face.

Getting up he slapped Robin hard across her face and wiped his face, turning to Eleonora.

"Let's get this over with, give her the shot."

"No, no please don't do this, at least let both babies live," She begged, her sobs got loud as Eleonora walked over and got prepared to give her the needle.

As the needle was about to be poked into her arm a voice shouted out.

"Get away from her, now," the voice yelled out.

They all turned to the person holding a gun and pointing it at Filippo and Eleonora.

**********************************************************************************************************************

Luca was on his way home when he received a call from the investigator he hired that was looking into the auction house.

Agreeing to meet him, he turned his car around and headed into the city.

There he met the man, John at a bar.

"It wasn't easy getting this information but money talks. It was Filippo who sold the painting, he got 150,000 America dollars. But that's not all, he has sold the auction house some other paintings and other valuable items."

Luca slammed his fist on the table, earning him some angry glances.

"That son of a bitch, after everything I've done for him and he still has the guts to steal from me. I trusted and I wouldn't even have suspected him."

His phone rang and seeing the caller was Sandra he thought about not answering but he hits the answer button.

" What the hell do you want?" He barked into the phone.

" I'm at Ray's bar, you have ten minutes to get here or I'm leaving ".

He hangs up and says goodbye to John and checking his watch. He wouldn't have met with her if she hadn't said it was about Robin and was very important, a matter of life and death.

Twenty minutes later he watched as she walked towards his table. She wore a tight black pencil skirt, a white silk top, one with a plunging neckline which showed off her cleavage and her large breast.

Though they have been intimate on and off for a few years he felt no connection with her, no real desire.

But with Robin, it was instant chemistry, sexually as well as mentally, she was without a doubt his soulmate.

Sandra slid elegantly into the booth across from him.

"Aren't you going to buy a lady a drink?"

Ordering her some wine he stared straight in her eyes.

"You better start talking, what is it you need to tell me?"

Reaching over she took his hand and held it, but he quickly pulled it away. If Robin knew he was here with Sandra there would be a lot of troubles.

"Start talking," he snapped.

"I believe your wife is in danger," Sandra said, taking a sip of her wine.

Hearing that Robin could be in danger he leaned forward, his eyes turned dark and he stared at her, ready to let his anger loose.

"What the fuck are you talking about? You better tell me now or I swear I'll choke you the life out of you"

She had seen Luca mad before, but this time it was different.

Seeing the fury that was raging in his eyes she leaned back in her seat, not wanting to be close to him.

Thoughts of toying with him flew out the window, she held her hands in her lap to stop them from shaking and swallowed the lump in her throat.

" Earlier, this morning I overheard Filippo and Eleonora talking at a restaurant I happened to be having breakfast, they were standing outside the ladies bathroom and whispering."

"So?" Luca snapped. "What were they saying?"

"I couldn't here everything, only caught an little bit. Filippo was saying Robin would be gone soon and she had to be patient. And that he had to get home soon saying you weren't home and so was Grazia, also find the perfect opportunity. It wasn't clear after that, but then I heard her say she was going to kill a child or something of that sort."

Lucas's throat burned from the acidic taste in his mouth when what Sandra said sank in.

Maybe she was making it up but he wasn't going to take a chance.

Jumping up he ordered her to call the police and tell them what she had heard.

" Wait, where are you going to?" She asked when he turned to leave.

"Home," he yelled over his shoulder as he dashed out of the bar.

It was an hour drive back home but he planned to make it quicker, his gut was telling him his little family was in danger. He knew by looking into Sandra's eyes she was telling the truth.
