Chapter Three

Luciano sat in his Seattle office staring at the list of debtors in this city alone, and none of them were willing to pay up, he just couldn't get why people were dense and so irresponsible, when they come for help it is always so easy but when it is time to pay up, he always has to result to violence, why can't people just be straight forward and then when he plays by the music they choose they call him the villain.

He couldn't deny that he was a villain, he came from a family of villains and didn't know anything more than violence since he was born, his great grandfather has built an empire from scratch and gave them a legacy that they were keeping together, the Siegel empire was his whole life and it was his job to protect it and make sure there is growth in his time, even though he wasn’t totally in charge yet he knew it would only take a while to get it! He just needed to get the Don, his grandfather to agree.

For now, he needed to get these mudafuckers to pay up what they owe, one person was front in his mind, the reason he was in Seattle.

"Sir, you have a call,"

Yoey, his personal assistant said walking into his office.

"A call? from who?"

he asked as he collected the phone, and stared at it, it was from a number he didn't have saved, not that he had a lot of numbers saved, he didn't like people so he never bother to keep a close relationship with them.

"Luciano speaking, may I know who this is?"

He asked waiting for the person to speak up

"Hi, my name is Arielle,"

Came a voice, the voice was so tiny that he could barely hear her, he couldn't remember any Arielle either.

"Okay, I don't remember us talking and I certainly know I didn't give you my number what business do we have?"

He asked.

"I am just telling you that whatever business you had with my dad, I am never going to marry you,"

She let out again confusing him even further, what the fuck did she mean marriage? he has never thought of being married to anyone, not even once, she must be some kind of joker.

"What are you talking about miss,"

"Oh, don't pretend like you don't know,"

Now he was sure she was drunk and might have dialed his number wrongly, as much as he liked her voice, he couldn't spend his whole day listening to her talk about anything in particular.

"I don't know what you are talking about young lady, but I will advise you to drop your phone and sleep off the alcohol, then you will be fine,"

He said and hung up to her cursing at him, he stared at the phone wondering how she got his contact in the first place, he stood up and handed his phone back to Yoey.

“Shall we go deal with that bastard who has been on the run?”

He said as Yoey followed behind him.

They found the man who had been on the run where his other boys had kept him, Luciano pulled his gun out of itself and bent to where the man was laying obviously, he has been beaten and he deserved every bit of it.

“You thought you could run forever didn’t you?”

Luciano asked and the man jerked up.

"Please don't kill me, I promise I didn't mean to pay up,"

“That’s not your only offense remember? You stole from me, and I hate people that steal from me,”

He said robbing the gun he heard around his face.

“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to, please spare me, give me one last chance, please,”

The man said begging for his life but Luciano knew his kind too well to pity him, he pointed the gun at him again and pulled the trigger, silencing him, he dropped the gun back and picked up a wipe to clean his hand.

"Take his body away, and tell Damon to prepare the plane, we are going back to Russia,"

He said.

Luciano walk away not feeling as if he had just taken a life, for him it was pretty much normal, it was part of his life and part of the job, he already hated his reasons for going back to Russia, not like he didn’t want to be in his homeland but the old man wanted to see him and that might only mean one thing and he didn’t like what that meant to him.

Luciano didn’t particularly hate his grandfather but he didn’t like him either, life would have been so much easier for him if he didn’t have the old man on his case trying to direct him and now even threatening him.

“Sir, the don will like to see you as soon as we arrive,”

Yoey said and Luciano frowned, he already knew what the old man wanted and he so wasn’t ready to speak with him on it again, it always doesn’t end up in the right way.

“I will, what’s on our schedule in Russia?”

He asked as he got into the car.

“There is a man owing huge money and is refusing to pay, he is already a month behind,”

“Normal debtors or a rat?”

“A rat,”

Yoey responded and he frowned even deeper, why does it always have to be rats? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Normal debtors pay in time but rats, the people that gamble away money mostly never pay up, just like the man who he just left, his case had been worst, not only did he borrow so huge, but he also stole from him.

“Details,”

He asked and Yoey passed him the tab while explaining, Luciano went over it and shook his head.

“We will go there as soon as we land in Russia,”

“But the don,”

“I will see him after that,”

He said leaving no room for further talks.

The neighborhood was freaking low quality, how would they give such a person the time of the day and even end his money? Let him play games?

“Are you sure we are in the right neighborhood Yoey?”

He asked and Yoey nodded.

“How much does he owe again? And how did he get into the zebra house in the first place?”

He asked but he was sure Yoey had no idea either, he hated his cousin for always giving the wrong people funds and since it is his job to make them pay, he had to always do the dirty job, the zebra house was only for elite and this nobody got to assess, so much was wrong.

He knocked on the door as there was no doorbell, it took a while for the door to open and a bewildered man stood there shaking in fear.

“I am guessing that you are Seb?”

He asked wanting to be done with

“That’s not the deal, you know that’s not it!”

Luciano said to the small man who was shaking in fear, he hated this about people, they always make it out to be the bad guy when they are the ones not doing as they said they will, he wasn’t about to be

“Let my dad go!”

Came a tiny voice, he turned around looking to seeing a small kid but what stood in behind him was nothing small compared to her voice, she was a walking sin and his mouth watered at the first sight of her amorous blossom, she had a mermaid-like face, even without a hint of makeup she looked like a goddess, her curly hair fell below her waist, she had rosy pink lips and when she talked his finger ached to touch them, he shook his head to clear off his thoughts, she wasn’t the kind of woman he dealed with and she wasn’t going to be.

“Your dad owes me, and he has to pay up, if you pay I can let him go,”

He said in his meanest voice, and smiled within when she shivered in fear,

“Just give us some time and we will pay you back!”

She said. Her voice sounded better than she was looking right now, and her eyes kept going to the gun he held, for some reason or whatever possessed him, he pulled the gun away from her father and gave it to Damon who was shocked by his move.

“So how do you intend to pay up five million dollars? Your dad already used up his chance and he doesn’t get any again,”

He said and watched her eyes widen, she must not have known just how much her dad owe him, she turned to her father and he just stood and watch, the bitch was a beauty and he found himself being fascinated by her.

“Dad? That’s not what you said? Why did you lie? How could you lie? What the fuck did you do with five million dollars?”

She yelled at her father, her voice cracking, the man lied to her? Way to go, at least he told her the truth, her dad being the coward he was didn’t say a word and just kept mute, it annoyed him just how stupid men could be, take what he can’t give back and make him out to be the bad person, well he was just about to be the bad person again and he didn’t give a fuck.

“I don’t know what he told you but he owes me five million dollars, now if you gave the money which I am sure you don’t have, you can pay up and I will be on my way or get out of my face, your old man knew what he was getting into,”

He said and she turned back to him with a firm expression.

“Let my dad go! I will pay you your money,”

She said again, and he had to laugh, she had to be kidding him, she didn’t even look like she would have a penny in her account looking at how cheap she was dressed and how her hair was a messy curly bunch on her head with zero makeup, even her nails didn’t have any polish, poor would be the perfect way to describe her and yet she wants to pay him five million, yeah right.

“Hmm, okay, how do you hope to pay back?”

He asked and she bite on her lips dragging his attention to them, he couldn’t deny that even though she wasn’t his usual kind of woman, he was attracted by her beauty.

“I will give her to you in marriage,”

The rat Seb said and Luciano wiped him a look, he couldn’t be serious.

“Dad!”

She yelled clearly shocked too, well that makes two of them…
