Chapter 6
Victoria woke feeling very sure of what she was going to do today. She was going to start putting her plan into action.
Going through the morning routine of coffee wake up call fill bath lay out clothes. She watched this man Detective Vecchio/Armando Langoustini or whoever he was meant to be. If he is Vecchio he is a very good actor who she was going to take down.
They were alone in his room while ate his breakfast when he turned to her stare that was boring into his back, "Is there something that you wanted to say Victoria"?
Victoria kept her face neutral as possible, "Actually Vecchio oh sorry Sir have I seen you before or met you because I must say you look awfully familiar"?
Sitting back tapping his fork on his plate, "Vecchio who is this Vecchio is that a former boyfriend or something"?
With a cackling laugh, "No Vecchio was this dumbass Detective I knew sometime ago"
Nodding his head, "A Detective you say was he friend or foe"?
Victoria was getting frustrated at him getting around her questions.
Waving a hand, "No just some Bastard who shot and killed his best friend and partner in the back, dose that sound familiar Detective Vecchio"?
Ray went to speak but she held up a hand.
Going on she paced the room, "You see I think you should do as I say because I do believe that you are Detective Vecchio and undercover for some unknown reason. One phone call from me could blow this whole thing and you'd be killed. Did you kill Ben or is he some vegetable somewhere like he should be"?
Putting on a smug face, "You see Victoria your wrong I am Armando Langoustini and if you speak to me like that once more I can make you disappear without a trace. Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear"?
Victoria was unfazed and tried again, ""So you did kill Ben then is that why you're here or did you run away and left him. I could call him if he is alive you know all I have to do is give Mr perfect a smile and a sob story and he'll be putty in my hands he is pathetic"
Now he was pissed off and pinned her to the wall, "You listen to me BITCH and you listen to me good. I told you once before VICTORIA that you hurt Fraser and I'll kill you. Trust me as Armando I can and there will be no trace of your body ever and I'll enjoy every second of it. So if I were you I'd keep my head down and keep to your duties. Count yourself marked with and X one step out of line and you'll see what happens when you cross me Capito"
Victoria paled, "Tough words there you brave enough to carry them out"?
He tightened his hand around her throat until she started to feel faint, "Trust me I will"
She fell to the ground coughing and gasping for breath once he let her go.
Smiling smugly, "Go clean my bathroom after that Clean out the kennels after that wash the dogs and be nice remember my treat"?
Victoria hurried out to carry out her tasks now all her plans were changed. Now knowing that Ben was alive she needed a new plan to get revenge.
Vecchio sat down with a strong drink shaking at having done what he did. It would have been so easy just to squeeze a little tighter. But he was not that man killing her would be only done in self-defence or in protection of Fraser.
Armando's bodyguards arrived, "Sir is everything alright we just saw your maid run from here was she giving you trouble would you like us to go teach her a lesson for you sir"?
Laughing hiding his shakes, "Na guys I sorted it sorted her out. She won't disobey me again if you know what I mean. I feel like a drive today fetch the car will ya"?
Joining in on their bosses laughter, "Sure thing boss"
He watched them leave for his car it was to easy to have her taken care and it frightened him big time.
The plane landed and waiting for them at the airport was Ray's parents who looked so happy to see them hugging and kissing them.
Ray's mother took one at Ben, "What's the matter my dear did something happen"?
Ray took charge speaking for him, "Mum can we talk about this at home"?
She looked from Ray to Ben to her husband who gave her the look that said, 'Barbra please listen to the boy'
Ray took his mum to help with the bags leaving Ben with his dad.
Damian led Ben to the seating area, "Ben has something happened you do know that we are here for you don't you"?
Ben gave a hint of a smile, "Thank you Mr-Dad but as Ray said I think it would be better that we talk at your home"?
Damian touched his arm, "Home Ben remember your family and you talk when you're ready to talk alright"?
Nodding, "Thank you dad"
Ray and his mum had been watching the scene glad in the knowledge that they got on so well.
Meeting back up with the bags in toe Ray cheerfully said, "Shall we hit then guys"
They all set out for home and dreading what was to come.
