ch 3: Cole

Marco's pov

I'm Cole Marco Carnell, 24-year-old. I'm a lawyer. I take over the administration of my dad's affair after his death, which I'm not sure about.

I took the leadership of his Mafia. I searched for him and my lost brother because it was the last thing he asked me to do for him. literally I don't give a fuck about his long lost son.

" Ohh this kid again?" I groaned on the phone

Ohh this child won't give up, I rejected talking with him 5 times... He is following me everywhere.. In the restaurant, in the bank, in the mall, in front of my company and now in the company. I'm afraid if I reject him, he will appear in my bathroom

Ohh let's see what he wants... so annoying!

" Yes sir, he wants to do an interview with you." My secretary informed me

" Why haven't I shot him since the first time I met him?"

" Sir? "

" Nothing, let him in ."

" Okay, the room is named Cole."

" Thank you." He cheered

" Ohh sorry, I forgot to cancel." She apologized

" Fine." I opened the door and he came in." Take a seat."

" Thank you for accepting me." He smiled

" Like I have a choice! You annoyed me all the time... If I said no, I'd expect to find you in my car."

He giggled then said," I'm Peter."

" Hey." I said, glaring

" I came to ask you some questions for my school magazine."

" Make it quick." I said, taking a sip from my wine

" Isn't your name Marco?"

" Yes it is."

" So who's Cole?"

" My first name. Start please." I'm trying to be gentle

" Can I have a cup of water? The way to here was long."

" Okay." I went to the fridge to get a bottle of water suddenly, the siren went off by ringing. I looked at him as my men entered the room and arrested the kid

" What happened?" I asked

" He put powder in your drink, sir."

" I'll take it to the lab sir." another man informed

I nodded

" Marco are you fine?" My friend David entered the office

" Yeah. "

He looked at the little sinner. " Take him to the warehouse, we are coming ." David ordered the boys

" Where? No no please." The blue eyed kid started to yell

" You are going to be in so much pain, I'll make you pay for ruining my drink." I said darkly

For three days, I watched my men torment the kid and take care of his stubbornness. He was just crying. He was asking my men to call me. He wanted me. He didn't say a word about who sent him.

David said, " Hey Marco, I know I shouldn't interfere in your work, but he is a child, you shouldn't torture him like that. Try to speak to him."

" No, the boys didn't get him good, so I will."

" But-"

I opened the door, ignoring him. We were getting along, joking and sipping tea... I should stop with the sarcasm I know.

He tried to push my buttons and I was so generous I gave him what he deserved until he spoke. He spoke about my father and my little brother who I couldn't find and those made me get out of it.

I see red. I felt so much anger filling my body. I took my gun.

He apologized and tried to get up, but I really, without complimenting myself, I knew where I hit. I was pressing the trigger but something in his pleading blue eyes stopped me.

You will regret it. That's what the voice in my head was saying

David was calling me from the other room to not shoot him. The door opened and Sofia said," Put the gun down, Cole ."

Just calling me by Cole caught my attention. I hate it

" I will kill this dick." I yelled

" No you can't, Cole." She said with a worried tone

" Who is the boss here? Get out or I'll shoot you too." I looked at him and strengthened my grip with a firm look on my face.

I'm gonna kill him. He is dying... It's over!

" He is your brother ." She yelled, standing in front of the gun

This sentence was like a bomb landed on me and left me destroyed.This is unbelievable!

She was serious. I shot in the air out of anger, and I heard a crush from the other side. He fainted. Sofia ran to him and pulled out a napkin and wiped the blood on his face and checked him

" Ohh shit!"

" What's wrong ?" David asked her

" We need to take him out and we need a doctor to check on him.. Let's take him to the hospital side, hurry up."

" Hey bro, what do you think?" He asked me.

I felt their eyes gazing at me and trying to get something from me. I'm frozen, I can't believe this, I was about to kill my own brother? Or maybe Sofia did this trick to not kill him?

" Hey bro." David put his hand on my shoulder

" Take him to the house, I'm calling Levio." I looked at him.

Sofia nodded and called my men. Levio, my other friend. He is a doctor. He checked on Peter. He cleaned his injuries and injected some sedatives for the pain. I lay on the wall, watching him coldly as worried Sofia and David tried to figure out what's wrong with him.

" Levio, Tell us good news." Sofia said

" I can't lie, he is in a serious case. His body didn't bear the continuous hitting because he had nutritional trouble. He had some serious old and new bruises. Take a look at his wrist, he cuts too, he is so fragile physically and mentally... He is out of consciousness now." Levio explained

" What should we do?"

" I don't know exactly, I did all that I could. He needs time, maybe he will wake up." Levio said.

I laughed loudly, three of them looked like me with clueless looks, then their faces turned to angry faces. So funny!

" Marco, can we talk?"

" I need to return to the company, I don't have time."

" You need to stay with your brother, the work won't escape." Levio said

I glared at him, " I don't care. Make him die."

They gulped and I walk out the room

" Is he serious now?" David yelled

" It's so weird, how cold he becomes without us noticing!" Levio said

" Yeah, is it real he can hear us?" Sofia asked, looking with sympathy at Peter

" Yes, so calm down and say good things, maybe it will make him come back."

" I think he won't after hearing what his own brother said." I heard all this from the camera in the security room

Ohh is it weird? I don't like to have a brother and God a crying one, seriously?

Just let him die!

I was cursing my stupid luck when I got a call. I looked at the caller, impossible, of course I'm dreaming or something... Well, this is new

I picked up the phone, " Hey, how are you mister?"

" Not the time for this, Cole, what happened are you, okay?"

" Of course I am, and stop calling me that."

" Leave that, and tell me the shit going on there."

" All okay! They fucking tried to poison me, but you know it won't happen, they sent a kid for that though, and I caught him, we tortured him, but he knows nothing, and out of nowhere, some files appeared saying that he is Peter... I didn't feel anything towards him... It's impossible."

" Peter?"

" I mean our brother, Nicolas."

" Hmm... Don't get too sure man... Run the research again and check the DNA... Be patient till then."

" I'm being so patient." I seethed

" I am serious with that Cole, so serious... If the kid is our brother then we don't want any regrets about harming him. In case he is not and it's just a stupid game from those motherfuckers, still necessary to track how they got the clear information about us and we can use the kid for that."

" I know man! They will use him even if he stays alive so I'm gonna carry on with the game. When are you coming?"

" So soon, I can't leave you alone there for so long, you know I miss you little bro."

He started annoying me!

" Just shut up." I said unamused

" Everything alright in the Mafia?"

" All good, I made Luke my driver and second assistant by the way, it becomes so much work for Pedro."

" Hmm alright... Let the boy breathe around you."

" Don't worry, I let him take the needed oxygen, I'm not you." I smirked

" Yeah totally, anyway be careful about yourself and the surroundings... calm your shit down and no need to play extra heroic."

" Same for you."

" Don't worry about me... I will connect you later and sooner if possible... bye Coline." I could see this jerk's smug smile from the other side

I hung up and sighed. I don't want a brother, I hope the second DNA denies this shit.
