Thirty-two.

Nikolai POV.

People who work for me are my family, this is a family business, that’s what the old man used to say, the guy I called pop, that’s my grandpa, I’m his only boy grandson, his only grandson really, and so I took over the work, I became the boss after him.

But unlike the old man, I do count everyone as my family, every single one of them, I’m not picky about the blood, what I’m picky about is their loyalties, some like Angelo they are in because they are my family and they had to be in, but others, they are hand picked by me, I have their loyalties, I know they would give their lives for me. But I also would kick their asses when they mess up, when they need it, and believe when I say sometimes they do need it.

Paul was one of my best mans, after Marco of course, he’s younger, he had a crazy upbringing, a boxer at a younger age, almost dead, but now he belongs to my family, and him messing up again, he deserved a good punishment, one that would get him to fix his acts. If
