Alfredo Fabri POVAs you might already known, I am Alfredo Fabri. Within the Family, I simply go by Fabri, but outside the Family, they call me “The Butcher”. Why, you ask?. Well, if you stick around long enough, then you might just find out. All my life, I've always been second. Second this, second that, and currently I am Sottocapo, ranking as the second to the Boss of the Colombo Family. I know, it sucks, but that's reality. A street riff raff once called me “second to none” once. Unfortunately for him, he neither knew my history nor how much I've grown to detest the word. I didn't ask him what he actually meant by that, and I can't do that now either, because he no longer resides on planet earth. È finita (it is finished). Yes, he is dead. I know right, How did that happen?What have I done about changing the condition of things, you say? Well, I've fought tooth and nail and I've gone lengths to conquer beasts and the likes of them with my very bare hand. You don't believe

Alexandra Dellarosa POV“Dad, what are you saying? Tell me you're not high on something again” I said, standing up from my seat with a sense of urgency as I moved towards his direction.“Alexa, stop ittt!”“I'm totally fine and I'm not high on anything. Just a little champagne that was forced down my throat at the Gambino's. That aside, I'm fine” He finished with a sigh, running his hands through the length of his hair.“Did you say forced?” I was unable to understand the context in which he spoke.It was well Evident that something was wrong. Whenever Dad grew nervous or uncertain of the outcome of something, his countenance and aura usually left him disoriented and as if out of compulsion, he'd run his hands through and through the length of his hair. Dad had the hair length, longer than that of an average Man's, and at times I'd find myself lusting over the lush of his hair which was far thicker than mine.“Don't tell me you're obsessing over my hair again” He said, drawing me out

Alfredo Fabri POV“What do you mean missing?” “This is simply an Impious fad, preposterous!”“Marco, what's your take on this?” Marino raked like a loose dog who hadn't been given a bone to chew on. Marino Salvatore was Caporegime, one of the most revered Men of the Family. People often said he had an Aura to his personality, but I agree to disagree. Marino was simply a coward who cowered under the glory of his extravagantly sashayed wealth. Wearing heavy gold and jewelry surfaced above furry coats and clothings, attracting unwanted attention to no one but himself.He had quite the influence on the family, was successful, had his head in the business. To give it to him, he did quite the good Job when it had to do with the rounds he made for the family. But amidst all that, I saw past his crap. The old lad had not a single loyal bone in him and simply wanted to be Don and as such I wasn't buying his act and if he hadn't been a coward, I'd have said he had a thing or two to do with th

Alexandra Dellarosa POV“I call dibs!” Said a Man who was well over his thirties and significantly had his head and belly oversized.“On which?” The younger Man who was at the far corner of the room asked, walking towards the center of the room, where they had tied myself and a few other ladies. I wasn't sure about the number because I couldn't lean over to begin counting from the end of the line because both my hands and legs had been tied behind my back, and then again, I didn't want to attract attention to myself. “This?” He asked, licking his lips mischievously as he pointed his fingers at one of the girls whose face I couldn't really see because she was at the far end of the line.“Nah, too skinny. I doubt she'd get any bid, let alone having her for myself” The Man with the oversized head and belly replied, and they both burst out in laughter.“Okay, Moose. That's a valid point” the younger Man let out referring to the older fellow. His words were choked by chuckles which appare

Alfredo Fabri POV Club Erebus was every Mafia's hot spot. The kind of things that went up in flames and down into charades within its environs were what you'd better left unsaid than taking a swing at it. It was a regular club to the regular public, but to the Mafia, it was much more. “Are you good?” I asked Gina for the umpteenth time“Hell yeah!” She exclaimed with a smirk. Her tone unfailingly hitting an elusive note.“Tenth,” She added shortly afterwards.“Tenth?” I queried, confused at the sudden reply which obviously has nothing to do with the question I had asked earlier on.“It'd be the Tenth time asking me the question tonight” She said, casting a glare in my direction.I didn't know whether to be stunned at the fact that she had Judiciously kept a precise detail of the number of times I had asked her the question but Gina was Gina, and she had never been one to do things that roved around the regular norm. She was the direct definition of what you would call “Different”, bu

Alexandra Dellarosa POV Tiny's death did not make anything easy for us. In fact, if his death did anything, it was to keep Mr. Moose on his toes. This wasn't a welcome development because Moose watched us like a hawk would do its prey. It was evident that he leaned into a particular interest in me not because of the little dibs game that he had played earlier with Tiny but because the incident had formed an opinion in his head that I was responsible for his friend's death. He didn't need to say much, his expression did all the talking.On the other hand, the girls had tagged me a Red zone. They had resolved it was far more safer to keep their distance away from me so as not to end up like the Lady who was a victim of Tiny's sudden escapade. They all had squeezed themselves at the far corner of the room, leaving me to myself, single as ever.“Don't try anything funny” Moose cried out from the center of the room, referring to no one else but me.“I didn't even move” I muttered under my

Alfredo Fabri POV As soon as the presence of Gina and I hadn't gotten off unnoticed, the atmosphere had all of a sudden gotten tensed for some reason which I sensed had to do with why we were at Club Erebus.“It's the butcher”“He's the devil's incarnate”“Don't look him in the eye, if you do, you're willingly signing a death sentence”I could hear the whispers of persons around. Gina and I were next in line to be checked through the list. Like I said, Club Erebus, due to the shady business that went on within it's walls, they made sure to properly scrutinize and check for moles who'd guise at times to be Made men of families.“Your reputation precedes you Fabri” Gina muttered beneath her breath, but loud enough to my hearing.“Oh please, it old news” I chuckled.“Got anything yet?” I asked scanning through the environment for things that'd seemed out of place from the norm.“Well, nothing asides Lil Joe's presence and your egoistic reputation”“That aside, nothing else” Gina finish

Alexandra Dellarosa POV After Conti’s little remark that I still couldn't fathom or comprehend, I had heard his words loud and clear. He had asked Moose to drag us down to the venue with the help of the goons.“You see this one, make sure she's at the back of the line” Conti scoffed. There was no way I could tell who he had been referring to because I had a sack over my head. But I guessed it must have been me.Someone who I thought to be Moose because of the way they had aggressively pulled at me to a spot was in charge of guiding me towards wherever they were taking us.“Ladies!” Conti’s voice rang out, I couldn't mistake the voice even with my eyes closed.“Your time has come. Today you meet destiny, today you become women with owners, today the saints cheer you on, today you become free!” He continued, spewing gibberish which I still couldn't understand.I couldn't help but spot out his use of the word “saints” yet again. What exactly was going on?. “Don't forget to smile when

Alfredo Fabri's POV “Incompetent bastards! All of you!” My voice boomed across the room, followed by pin drop silence. The men stood before me, alert, heads bowed. They were fools. All of them. Why else would they be sent earlier to a place and still be incompetent enough to let things go to waste?“We had everything planned. Planned to the tee. How in the world do you still manage to fuck this up? Huh? Answer me!” I called, furious. All of them were just useless. Useless! All of them!Not a single one had a working brain in their skull. More silence. I breathed. We all stood in the planning room, one of the many underground chambers carved deep beneath the ground. The air was heavy, thick with the scent of damp concrete and something stale. The room itself was dimly lit, a handful of weak, flickering bulbs barely cutting through the darkness, against the rough, unpainted walls. It was nearly empty, save for a few scattered tables, their metal legs rusted at the joints.Large sheet

Alexandra Dellarosa’s POVI ran my hands through my hair, flipping through the pages of my third book this morning. Reading was really not the activity I was craving at the moment. I felt like sunlight and hot sand, nursing a cool cocktail between my fingers. You know, something fun.I groaned, flipping the pages regardless, struggling to make sense of the words. I missed my phone. Mindless scrolling sounded wonderful right now. Unbelievably so. My eyes darted to the side table, motionless beside me. The card. That voice. My mind awash with thoughts, I moped, staring at the piece of wood like it held my entire future in its drawers. Should I call him? What would I even say?Let’s not even get to the fact that I wasn’t entirely sure how legitimate the contact information even was. For all I knew, it could’ve been some random number, completely unrelated to anything I was looking for. And yet, there I was, sitting in suffocating silence, stressing over whether or not to dial what could

Alfredo Fabri’s POVI pulled apart the large curtains, letting sunlight into the wide space, turning to check if it affected her sleep. She stirred on the large bed, nuzzling herself within the sheets, turning away from the light to continue her sleep. I smiled. Nothing like good sex to set a talking woman to sleep. Buttoning my jacket, I rushed down the stairs heading to the dining room. It was a long day ahead, I needed food. The table was already set, food served in different plates along the elaborately decorated table. I sat down and got to it, picking my phone and dialing a number immediately. Once I called, they'd be ready and on their way by the time I was done with my food. Better to get it over with, than have to wait. “Ready the cars and the men. We have a place to be” I dropped the call, shoveling food into my mouth in droves. I took large spoons, throwing them in my mouth in twos and there's and swallowing. I needed to be out of here before she got down, or I would have
OMERTÀ CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Alexandra Dellarosa's POV I sat, nuzzled in sheets staring out into the open space, lights off. The white, poofy fabric felt soft under my touch , the color pushing past the darkness to my sight. He'd been out quite the while now, way too long. I was waiting for him. Obviously. I wanted explanations. "He definitely knew something about what happened at the restaurant. At least much more than I did. For chrissakes, he'd barely even showed up. It wouldn't surprise me if he had some kind of hand in all of this. Had he brought me here to torment me in some twisted sort of way? Was that what all of this was? Some big joke?"At that thought, the door clicked open, letting him in. He was silent, probably already assuming I had fallen asleep, to avoid waking me up. Avoid waking me up and addressing the matter at hand. Typical. “Turn on the lights.” I said, loud enough that I knew he'd hear it. I adjusted myself, placing myself comfortably enough on the headboard as I waited for him to do a

Alfredo Fabri’s POVI was more than sure she was hiding something. This whole fighting back and sudden withdrawal once I demand what the problem was was more than weird, it was suspicious. I turned to her, worry filling me beyond anything else. She quietened, eyes trained on nothing in particular as I drove. She looked troubled, face contorted in careful consideration.What exactly had happened in there? What was she considering? What had Lorenzo done? Had he done something to her?I steadied my breathing as we entered the mansion, and I slowed to a stop before the building, parking quickly so she she could get down as I had a more pressing matter to resolve. “Get down and go in. We'll pick this up again later. I have something to attend to.” I said quickly, clenching and unclenching my fist around the steering wheel in impatience. She turned to me, expression unreadable before opening the door with a pop and walking into the building.I watched her go, her hair slow and uncertain, li

Alexandra Dellarosa’s POVI stared, answerless, as I held his buzzing phone in my grasp. He continued to try reaching for it as he drove, sending us moving in different directions as the steering deemed fit. I held it away and out the window, his eyes darkening at the unspoken threat. I looked at the device, buzzing in my hand at top speed, a few meters from the ground and reached for the power button to shut it down. With the phone turned off, I brought my hand back inside the car, throwing it in the car pocket beside my seat. I turned to him, tension palpable in the air. I mean, if anyone could read me, it would be him. I had to play extremely safe if I was going to hide this from him, which was proving incredibly difficult with his leg unrelenting from the gas pedal. His foot unrelenting, he drove on, not giving me a single glance. The car jolted forward, staying in that position as I watched, petrified. He continued to speed up, his eyes trained on the straight road before him, n

Alexandra Dellarosa POV We both were in the car and all I could think of was whether or not I should dail the number. I was conflicted between thoughts and although it hurt to me to see Fabri so unsure of himself, I knew it was the greater good. There were things Fabri weren't telling me and although I had only just returned into his life, I felt a little bit in the right to know some of these things. Fabri had not said any other word since he got into the car, and it seemed as though he was the least bothered about starting out a conversation. He had a lot going through his head, and I could tell.“So…” I trailed, trying to break the silence “Aren't you going to continue with your explanation?” I asked, trying to start out a conversation at least. It seemed as though they more I'd held myself from saying anything, the more I'd only give off the vibe that I knew something and I simply wasn't willing to share.“I've apologized already “ He said, his voice void of emotion. I didn't e

Alfredo Fabri POV They say you never get over your first love and I'm not one to stick to these kinds of things. But in that moment, when a pound of adrenaline rushed through my veins as I hurried briskly towards the door of the restaurant, there was no other plausible explanation other than the mere fact that I still had undeniable feelings for Lex, even after all these years.There were Silent Chapters to our story that I knew sooner or later would have to be revisited. That was one of the major reasons I'd asked her out on a date. I wanted to clear the air on some things. I hated the way I was feeling. I felt helpless, pitiable and pathetic, all of which were feelings which made me feel as though I were a weak Man. A quality that I was void of in all ramifications. Rizzo had boldy pulled the first trigger, and the only way to show that I'd gotten his message was to respond accordingly.I silently prayed that Lex was fine. I couldn't spot anyone on arriving at the lot of the restau
OMERTÀ CHAPTER THIRTY
Alexandra Dellarosa POV I was all alone, left to unravel the mysterious identity of the man I'd only just met, whose face I wasn't able to behold. From the look of things, he sure did have an aura to his personality not because his cologne lingered for much more than I'd expected, rather, his ability to remain composed irrespective of the fact that he'd played the role of a “stolen identity”. I was smart enough to know that whoever he was, would not have found his way to me if I'd not been affiliated with Fabri. But was that just a mere speculation? Was Fabri playing pranks just as he'd usually do when we were out on one of those numerous low budget couples outing.But I could still feel goosebumps all over me, it was so much and very evident to say that this had gone beyond the boundaries of some child's play. This was serious business and I didn't know the full on scope of what I'd gotten myself into. I made a mental note to tell “the real Fabri” about what had conspired between th
