hiding. There was nowhere else to go.
Anthony walked away from the car and up to the front door. He turned around and began yelling in Sicilian. His men returned to the car and both vehicles left and headed back towards town.
Anthony walked in the door and Kristen stood there nervously. He did not say a word and went upstairs. She could hear him rummaging through the hall closet. When he came back down he had changed out of his suit and was now wearing black jeans and a dark t-shirt. In his hand was a large gun.
Kristen asked “Anthony. What is going on?” He growled at her “Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing!” She was mad now and scared. She yelled “YOU NEED TO TELL ME! WHO ARE THEY?” Anthony put the gun in his waistband and then grabbed her, pushing her firmly onto the living room couch. “STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS. YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING!”
Then he calmed down slightly “I am going back to New York until tomorrow. Do not leave this house until I call you.” He started texting on his cell and ran out the door. The car with his two men had returned. Anthony grabbed some things from his own car and then left with them.
On the drive to the airport, Anthony angrily called his brother in New York. “Marco, what the hell did you and Vincente do with that car dealer? What are those lugs after me for? What are you two trying to do? Get me killed? You know that I am out of this! Can’t we make this work? I am on my way back to NYC right now. You and Vincente better be waiting for me at the hangar.”
Back at the house, Kristen started to cry. Anthony was being so awful to her. She was afraid it was only going to get worse. She thought about Karl’s proposition. It wouldn’t hurt to get away for a little while. It would be a vacation. She needed to think. She called his phone and left him a message.
She went upstairs to pack her suitcases. As she hurriedly piled the clothes in, she thought more about how Anthony was treating her. She needed to make a major gesture, so she took off her engagement ring and left it on the bed table.
An hour later, she heard a car pull up in the driveway. Karl had sent a white limousine for her. She was surprised this was happening so quickly. It was too easy. She knew he would take care of her. She hurriedly packed another suitcase for all of her shoes.
The driver came to the door and she had him fetch her luggage. She sat in the back of the limo feeling very proud of herself and very independent. She said to herself “There Anthony. That will teach you!”
The limo delivered her to the airport. Karl was standing next to a private jet. He immediately noticed she was not wearing her ring. He rubbed her finger and took her hand. He was sure now Kristen finally belonged to him!
