I may be locked in a basement, shit I did it again ‘bedroom’ for the better part of ten years but I still practiced what I remembered from the three short years I was with my mom.
I'd put the mat, I mean ‘bed’ against the wall and as if a boxer in training punch it a few times then I'd kick it. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I'm surprisingly tones for being malnourished. I’d like to say it’s just plain old genetics but I have know idea what my dads physic is and what I remember of my mom was that she was thin but curve. "What happens if she does prove herself as a leader” my aunt asks my uncle “I mean after all she is the next in line, were do you think that will leave you. She'll kill you, she'll kill us as soon as she gets a chance" my aunt spits out and I can't help but smile as I agree with her logic. Aww goals. "Trust me she isn't fit to lead and once they see that, she's out, in the unlikely event she does show she can become Dona I have someone on the inside that is willing to take her out at all costs" oh my dear uncle what a spiny little weasel you are. Deciding I've heard enough I slide myself back down the stairs and over to the little mat I mean ‘bed’ I was given to sleep on and lay down letting all the information I just heard roll around in my head and lull me to sleep. My dreamless beauty sleep is interrupted when I jump awake by what I thought were voices. Straining my ears I listen but hear nothing so I close my eyes and try to get back to sleep. I hear the floorboards creek above me once again, only now it’s getting closer to the basement door. I lay perfectly still and keep my breathing even when I hear the door open. Light from what I’m guessing is a flashlight sweeps across my face. "We found her" a man calls out. "Hand me the rag" I hear another say and I silently take in a lung full of air just as the cloth is placed over my mouth. I thought myself how to hold my breath after my aunt tryed to drowned me a few times or should I say she would try to waterborne me as punishment when I'd let my mouth run wild. Which had been a lot. The guy holds the cloth over my mouth for almost a minute then I feel myself being lifted bridal style. I’m shuffled a little the he starts walking up the stairs and through the house. The night air is somewhat cool and I can hear the sound of a cars engine followed by the sound of a car door. I feel myself being shifted once again before feeling the fuzzy carpet of the cars floorboard under my bare legs. Right did I forget to mention that I’m in my underwear and a thread bare long sleeve shirt. If I did I’m sorry. I didn’t really think it relevant until this moment. "Drive" comes a deep voice that would have most girls wetter then a teenage wet dream in a heart beat. How I know about wet dream you ask? Wiggle of the brows. I found one of those dirty romance books in a box along with some magazines, once when I was super bored and my ant and infle had gone on a week long trip someplace. So yeah.As soon as I feel the car start to move I start counting in my head the best I can to try and gage the distance we've traveled. I count every click of the turn signal and every bump, if my counting is correct then we've been driving for almost two hours. Two hours of cigarette smoke, laughing at dumb ass shit and talking about women as if their mamas raised them to grow up to be dickless men with commitment issues and a hard on for women who will never be worthy of anything more then a quick fuck behind some dingy trash car in a back alley behind some hole in the wall bar. I hear my aunt talk about some trashy ‘whore’ my uncle got caught balls deep inside by the police after they had been called about someone getting killed in the back alley of a bar. Turns out the chick was just very vocal. When the car start to come to a standstill I almost want to stretch but force myself to remain as still as possible. The sound of metal and clanking can be heard by what I'm assuming are big
"I want her brought here tonight and I want it done as if she's being kidnapped" Alessiano says with his back turned towards me while he's looking out the window. My brown come together in confusion as I process his words. "You want us to treat her like she's a pick up" I ask just to confirm. "I want her treated as one as well. I understand that it may seem extreme to have my own daughter brought to me this way," he pauses as if thinking of his next words. "I want to see how she would react to the situation. I want to see if she's as weak as Santino says she is, if she can be so easily broken like he said she can be" Makes sense giving that she's never been a part of this life and as far as her life with Santino she could be every bit the pampered princess. "I want your men to try and break her like our enemies would" "You want us to pick her up and pull out all the stops" I ask again just to confirm. "Yes" is all he says. "Yes Don" I say with a bow and turn to leave the room
The drive is like all the others we’ve made. Bullshitting about some broad one of them picked up in the last twenty-four hours or how long it will take before one of them knocks some one up for not using their actual head to think. When we pull up out side the house we all get out and surround the place. The first to go in through the unlocked door. Yeah I said it unlocked door, like earlier it’s for me to knows and you to mind your own business. Lighting up a smoke I lean against a he car and pull out my phone. Me: Is the girl still in the basement? Santino: Just like I said she would be. Me: What’s her condition? Santino: Alive. The sound of footsteps on the gravel drive way draws my attention up just as Marco comes walking g towards me with a leggy thing held to his chest. “We said pick up not walk downs the fucking isle” “Just cuz you don’t care what the boss says doesn’t me I don’t, he might of said pick up but for all I know it could be a fucking test” Marco says as
Silently I'm hoping she's strong and that they can't brake her, we walk in and take a our seats in the darkest corner of the room just as Carlo throws a bucket of cold water on her. "Wake up bitch" she gasps and jerk upright and looks around the room the girl has bright blue eyes that fit her face perfectly. She’s a good fucking actor I’ll give her that. Even when we were in the car if known she wasn’t asleep, she was awake the whole fucking time. Smart girl. She just sits there looking back at forth between Carlo and Marco as if waiting for them to start what ever they have planned. "Let's have some fun shall we" Marco asks, to which she smirks in challenge. In one quick move Marco then punches the girl in the jaw, I involuntarily jerk forward a little bit and Ales place his hand on my shoulder to keep me calm. “Is there going to be a problem Vale” “No” I say hoping my own words to be true, at this point in the game I can’t afford to let her get to me. "I'm going to ask you
"I wonder if your mom put up this much of a fight before she was killed" Ales shifts a little but keeps quiet, he gave them a little bit of information about her and her mom to see if she'll break and show some emotion. I didn’t agree with them using it against her but if it was the enemy, they would use it against her with out a second thought. It’s emotional manipulation. A very tactical move. "You know what I wouldn't know, you see I was left out side a hospital when I was born" she says with a sad sigh and a frown. “I just wasn’t pretty enough for her to want me” again she sighs sadly and shakes her head as if it’s such a travesty. I'm truthfully impressed with this girl and the amount of shit she’s taken so far. She has a broken nose and is going to need a few stitches over her left eyebrow and possibly on a few on the cuts Carlo made across her thighs and upper arm. Her wrist is swollen and bruised no doubt sprained possible fractured, she has a fat lip and a few other inj
There seems to be a problem among my men and concern about Valentino and his loyalty. I've heard the whispers on my men's lips and seen the surveillance videos of the shipments that I have not signed off on leaving my docks.I'm not blind I've seen the changes in his daminer ever since Demitria has come back. I've seen the lipstick stains on his shirts and I'm very aware of the woman he has set up in a house a little ways away from the house he will be sharing with my daughter.When I announced them to be married I expected him to be more then willing but to my dismay he he was not and it read clearly on his face. I'm well aware that he went out that very night a fucked some whore. I'm also very aware of the way he's treated my daughter and the flirting that's going on between herself and Franco."Please tell Gio and Franco to come see me before lunch" I tell Valentino who just so happened to walk into my office not even 5 minutes after Demi left."Yes Ales. Do you remember that the
Heading up the stairs and in the direction my daughter just headed I stop outside of Francos bedroom door and knock. Why I knew she would be here I have no idea other then her outburst and the clear love in their eyes when the looks at each other."Demi" I say upon seeing her answer the door. She’s clearly making it a point to tell me what she wants but in my position I don’t know what to do at this point."Dad" she says then leaves the room with the door open for me to enter.I walk into the room and stand by the window "When I sent you to look after her I never expected you to develop feelings for her" I turn around so I'm looking directly at him.Franco is a loyal man and has stood by my side many times since he joined the ranks."It has been made very clear that she has different opinions on what she needs as the future Dona of this family and you my boy are who she wants at her side. I'm not saying I disagree with her but I have yet to see more then the errand boy before me" H
I’m a simple man who’s worked hard for his place among the mouth breathers known as the errand boys to the De Leone family.I started from the bottom as a snot nose kid running small dime bags from one street corner to another.Every cent I made was to get my come up’it’s when the time came, and came it did in the form of a well dressed man in a flashy as fuck Rolls Royce that was parked out side Dino’s place.Dionicio Falcon a.k.a Dino was known for stiffing his clients and boss. He was a grimy low life who always had his hand in his own supply or better said the man who came to pay him a visit’s supply.I never claimed to be a smart man but this was my time to shine and fucking shine I did.My balls in my throat and my nerves on level fucking one hundred, I walked through the front door door of the run down one story crack house Dino used for business and emptied my bag.“Come back later kid” Dino ground out but I ignored.Three rubber bands and a small stack of baggies is all I’d h
The whole flight to the unknown location wed sent Demi and her newfound allies to be in the middle of some Italian countryside. "When we land, I want everyone to spread out and set up a safe perimeter, once ones been establishes, we need to get her off the plane so Kimberly can do whatever field surgery is needed" I tell everyone so that their ready."I'm not sure what the Donas blood type is but if she needs it were going to need someone with O neg" Kimberly says as she starts prepping what she can."Well be landing in fifteen" yells Gray from the cockpit.When I was told that she'd passed out due to blood lose id freaked out, here she was hours away from use with a recently allied Russian Mafia prince and his lover. she was completely alone with only the pilot from our group of trusted me on her side.The two hour flight had felt like it was taking years off my life and id all but killed every mother fucker who dragged his feet before we left the main house.This isn't how this is
“Where are we going” I ask on a groan and Tanner pours whiskey over the bleeding bullet wound on my side.“Ahh” I hiss. “It’s all I could find” he says with a grin.I snatch the bottle from him and take a swig.“We are landing soon” Irk says as he takes a seat next to me.“Why the fuck are you helping me” I ask not sure if I can trust them or not.“Call it” Irk says then starts to speck I. Russian.He and Tanner go back and forth for a few minutes before Tanner rolls his eyes.“Irk has taken over for his father and wants things to change. He wants to an alliance and when Valentino came to him with the plan to kidnap you and make you disappear he say the perfect opportunity” Tanner tells me as he does what he can to help stop the bleeding.“You’re going to need surgery to remove the bullet, we have people on stand by” Irk says.“Why should I accept an alliance with you” I ask.“Because we want the same thing” Tanner gets up and moves to the seat across from me.“We want to progress in
As we step off the plane I scan the area making sure everyone is out of fucking sight.“All the luggage will go into the last car and be sent to the villa. We’re going to an early dinner then we’ll go to our home for the next few months” I tell Demi as I pull her into my side.I give her a sweet kiss on the forehead as the arranged signal then push her out of the way as the first bullet zips past my head.Bullets zoom for one direction to the next as hell breaks loose on the Italian airstrip.“Valentino” I hear her call while ducking next to the jets wheels.“Give her a gun” I order knowing that the bullets are of no real use but to make her feel like she’s fighting for her life and must kill or be killed.She fires off a few shots and I watch as her determination turns to realization.“Your going to fucking pay for this Valentino, MARK MY FUCKING WORDS” she yells as she ducks as low as she can towards Marco then somehow affectively knocked him to the ground and takes his guns and the
"We will be there in a few hours and I want you to be ready and have everyone in place for when I give the order" "Yes boss"I hang up and walk back out to the main cabin and take my seat.“Sir there was an accident” Marco says with a slight head nod.I’d known that Carlo and Franco wouldn’t be catching the flight. I’d planned it this way and made sure that the little princess was oblivious to it.We’d heard the sirens all the way from the airstrip and when she asked about it I’d said it was probably some bullshit in the slummy part of town since it was close.“We’ll be landing in an hour sir” says the busty flight attendant.Marco, Jamie and the others one by one start to spread out around the cabin, checking clips, adjusting bullet proof vests and making sure everyone is ready and in position for when we get off this plane.O’Neil assured me that the message had been passed along and knows the risk of failure.“Is she still asleep” I ask the flight attendant.“Yes sir I made sure t
"So lady boss dating anyone" Damian asks "Yes" I answer with clenched jaw."Get to work she wants it all done by the time she gets back in two weeks, she will be calling a video conference in two days to make sure you all have everything you need and to further go over your places here" with that said I leave the room and head back to her study to finish setting up a few things of my own.I'm almost done setting up the panic buttons when my phone rings."Yea boss lady" I ask when I answer."Have someone track Francos and Vale's phones I want a tap placed on all calls coming in and out of both phones" I hear shuffling on the other end and hear her talking to someone."Oh and Vic I need a private jet ready to leave in an hour then you and only you are to meet me at the air strip" "Are you okay, what's wrong" something is off very off and I can hear the slight panic in her voice."I was shot Vic” I’m to my feet and rushing back to the computer room.“Where’s the fire boss man” Ys Jailb
"Sir you wanted to see me" after leaving my loves new study I was called to her dads study for some reason."I know you have a thing for my daughter" I gulp the saliva that's now become dry in my throat and open my mouth to speck but he stops me by speaking first "I also know about the bet that many of my men made including Franco" I stay quiet."I'm not a blind man Viktor nor am I def these walls have ears and it seems to me that my daughter has started to make demands and implement changed with in my men""Sir her ideas are brilliant and will take this family in a new direction" I find myself defending her with out realizing it."This new requirement is for her to find a husband because you know as well as I do that in this world a woman with out a man is a easy target and I won't have her labeled as easy pray for those power hungry mafia men out there""No sir instead you left her as easy pray to the power hungry men with in your own organization. With all do respect sir she doesn'
After my conversation with Demi last night I stayed up thinking, I've been working for her father for the last ten years of my life and slowly made my way up in ranks to become one of his most trusted men.As I laid awake I made a mental list of pros and cons for a relationship with Demi and so far the cons out weigh the pros.I'm 26 she's almost 18 that's a almost eight year age gap between us.She's headstrong and stubborn whereas I like my woman soft spoken and obedient. She is the future Dona who plans on making me one of her top men. What else is there to think about, I mean becoming one of the heads of the Russo/ De Leone family is a top honor and dating the boss is just a perk right.The next morning I wake up with a new plan for our ‘relationship’.I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and keep dating her but keep a girl or two on speed dial in case I need a release she won't give me.This trip to Verona is a perfect chance to get closer to her that is if Vale doesn't ke
“The contracts are to be forwarded to the Zy-jun family for final confirmation, before shipments can be sent” I tell Juh-Lee one of the Triad heads.“We understand, and are looking forward to the continued cooperation” we hammer out the last few details before finalizing our agreement.Tossing aside my burnt out cigarette I button my suit jacket and head into the cell block.Two days ago I was lucky enough to catch my sister in law out in her natural habitat, the snake of a women had been spotted at a pawn shop on the lower south side.The items she was there to pawn had been on my wife when she went missing after the car crash that landed my little Demi in their care.Santino and Jennie had, had a son who was a year older than my Demi. Santiago does due to negligence by their nanny who had left him unattended in his room, the little one had just started to crawl and found his way out of his room and to the banister edge.By the time the nanny saw him it was too late he’d slipped thr
When Demi first got home a few of the guys including myself started a wager on how long it would take for one of us to get her into our beds. A dick move I know but the more time I've spent with her the more I've started to actually like her.It wasn’t supposed to happen but it did and now I want to back out of the deal I’d made with Vale and Santino.Carlo demand we end the bet after he saw he couldn't break her and found a new found respect for the future Done.I have yet to see much of a leader, yes she handled the situation at the mall like we all knew she would and even surprises us all by using Henry's phone to track activity to find out who had sent them, but all that shows is that she's smart not that she's a leader."Franco, I’m trusting you to help keep an eyes on my daughter while I’m not there” Alessiano says."Yea sir" I say with a bow of respect.The only reason I’m going on this fucking trip is because she requested I be a part of her personal detail.Vic practically l
