DON JULIO

The ride back to my residence felt endless, my hand gripping the steering wheel so hard.

I glanced at my wrist watch and it was twelve midnight. I could still picture the shock on the doctor's face when I asked him if he knew what the chip was. I was testing him, hoping he might say something but of course he didn't. I didn't waste another second there and left the hospital immediately.

I knew there was something linking us to The Blood Vultures and the others but I didn't really know what it was. And the chip.

It could be it.

As soon as I swung into the long driveway, I killed the engines and stepped out, pocketing the small chip like it was something precious. Of course it was.

Inside, the residence was quiet and the only thing I heard was the chirping of crickets.

The strippers from earlier were gone, the air smelled of cheap incense and whiskey.

I threw the keys to one of my men, exhaled a little and rolled up my sleeves as I took the stairs two.st a time to my room. W

    DON JULIO The sun slightly rose before I gave up trying to sleep. I sat on the chair overlooking the window, a cigar dangling between my fingers and a glass of whiskey before me which stood there for as long as I could remember because I was sure I might not drink it.Last night kept replaying in my mind like a broken movie. Ghost cracked the code and helped with the chip and I still couldn't believe that Federico had done that. The mothefucker was quite smart but why planted that chip?Now the chip felt like it counted a thousand pounds, even though it slightly filled my palmI should have felt some sense of victory. The surgery on Sarian was successful and I finally confirmed my fears but I knew that keeping the chip with me was still dangerous.I stood up, moving restless, every bone in my body stiff with stress.

    DON JULIO What the fuck! I had gone back to my room. I wanted the information she had told me to be for my ears only but as I returned the phone to the table, my head pounded and her last words kept echoing in the back of my mind I tried telling myself several times that maybe Valentina was mistaken, that something wasn't right but a part of me, a bigger part had felt this was freaking true but I didn't want to believe it. The white T-shirt wasn't giving me what I wanted, the aura and vibe that I wanted to possess. I quickly dressed in a dark suit, not bothering to care about the details. It was a typical outfit, sharp but practical, ready for whatever I had to face. The urgency in my chest wouldn’t let me think about my clothing. There wasn’t time for perfection, She didn't say anything further. The line went dead and I shut my eyes momentarily wondering if I was now a detective in a case I fucking knew nothing about. What the hell did Valentina just tell me? Did she know

Every part of me felt like I was seeing things as I was blinded by anger but I moved deliberately and calmly and kept my face expressionless. The doctor had told me that the police would soon be here and I had felt it as soon as I stepped out of the double glass doors. However I had always trusted my instincts and something wasn't quite right. Two blocks away I slid into the parked car, dark windows, plate that cannot be traced. I learned from Matteo to always have one escape route close by. I was grateful that I paid attention tonight. My mind was on the nurse that had brushed past me when I walked into the hospital when sirens sounded as soon as my fingers touched the ignition, rising and falling, destroying the

I was in a hurry to leave but I had to dance to get just enough money. The club smelt of cigarette smoke, sex and desires. I strut across the stage with my heels clicking against the sticky floor, every movement deliberate and in time with the rhythm, I know too well, that my face is partially covered with a smal

    SARIAN For a moment my heart thuds against my ribs as I stood motionless. I was crushed by the weight of his words even though he had walked away like he never was there. Tell him that Don Julio was here.The words kept making my heart beat and I started sweating profusely.Don Julio Rossini, The Jaguar like he was called. My father had stolen from him and now I was in trouble and in danger.My chest tightened making it impossible for me to breathe and I felt tears rolling down my eyes.He had been the one watching me. For how long? Did he know where Father was? I must leave this place now.With my head spinning, I turned and went for the back door. For months I have been employed at this club, always keeping my head down and avoiding trouble. And now that man—the mafia boss—just drew me into his world and now I wasn't sure if I might live to the next day. I got home after a thirty-minute ride. I heard footsteps behind me as my hand was on the door handle. I froze and turned sl

    SARIAN I should have known this, when I felt uneasy I should have known that this would happen but I trust easily.As soon as Marc moved aside and took his blood money, I realized that I was fucked. Not in the way I would have liked either.“Marc?’ I asked disbelief laced my voice as my eyes widened in surprise.He shrugged and pocketed the large envelope.“Business, Sarian. It's just business.” He said casually like we were talking about when we were little. “ Do take care.”And then he was gone. I felt like passing out. This was supposed to be the hotel where I and Marie would stay before we had to leave for the train station but something was off when we walked in and the receptionist looked grumpy. This wasn't a hotel, Marc had given me up to the enemy. Don Julio Rossini and I were alone when the heavy doors slammed behind Marc and I wanted to run after him and demand some explanation. The betrayal was hot and sharp and I wondered if Marie was safe too.I stared at Don Julio, th

I took a slow sip of the ice which clinked softly but it didn't stop the thoughts from gnawing at my brain. Sarian. That girl.I tried to stop thinking about her but it was impossible. I sent my men to take her away because she reminded me of her, not because she had fought so hard when they did or because she had quickly agreed to my terms.Sophia. My chest ached dullly at the name alone. I lost her when I was just thirteen years old. She was my world even though she wasn't my biological sister. She was the only person who had created warmth in the shadowy areas of my life. I felt human because of her, the only person I could go to when my father thrashed me and yelled at me because I

    DON JULIO The night was loud.Music blasted from the speakers, drowning out the sound of my thoughts, the heavy bass rattling the glass walls of the room.Matteo and the rest had left and I was sure they were doing justice to what I had told them because the mere thought of been attacked again made me boil with anger.I leaned back on the velvet settee, cigar smoke entwining around me, a half-empty glass of whiskey hanging loosely between my fingers but I wasn't concentrating on them.The strippers moved around the room, laughing too loudly, brushing their hands against my shoulders, my chest and dancing to impress me and one or two of them had whispered something into my ears, she was horny and ready for sex but I never used sex as therapy.I hardly noticed them.On the face, I looked relaxed, untouched as if a war wasn't brewing inside of me.I took a long pull from my cigar, the burn harsh down my throat.I glanced down at my watch and exhaled, the surgery wssd supposed to be over

    DON JULIO The sun hadn’t even risen yet when I woke up, tangled in Don Julio’s arms.His hand rested on my midriff, his fingers coiled slightly as if even in sleep, he refused to let me go. For the first time ever, I experienced what it felt to be loved, to be someone's everything. To have someone that didn't want to let go of you no matter what. I didn't want to think that I was falling for a mafia lord, I wanted to enjoy the moment….. while it still lasted.For a few precious seconds, I didn’t move.I just listened to the steady beat of his heart against my back and breathed in his dangerous, manly scent.Warmth. Safety. I had Something else I had almost forgotten how to feel.And then he shifted.His lips brushed along my bare shoulder, lazy and soft. I shut my eyes momentarily, savoring every bit of it, wanting it to continue. Till infinity. His lips found mine gently, slowly and I wanted it to continue.There was no rush, no despair, just something deeper and hot, deep kisse

    DON JULIO The smell of blood was thick in the air briskly, metallic, suffocating. The last echo of gunfire had faded, but the chaos still fire my thoughts. It was freaking unexpected. I had had enough already and I swore to myself as I watched Valentina go down that when I find whoever is doing this, I would erase the names of his whole family from the earth. “ Valentina’s down! ” someone cried. My heart sank. I turned around immediately. Valentina was lying lifeless on the ground and Sarian was beside her, shaking her and begging her to wake up. Her dress and hands covered in Valentina's blood. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. My instincts had told me to tell Valentina to stay back at the hotel. Everything inside me snapped. My men redressed with fury. Shots erupted again, lighting up the night. Tires screamed. The masked men tried to escape, but they weren’t fast enough. We shot almost everyone of them down, no mercy.
