THE GENESIS

DON VINCENZO’S POV~

“It wasn't always like this, but this generation mafia's birth ruined the brotherhood's real meaning and the greatness of the old ways.

You have all softened over time you have never felt the sweetness, the raw power of the mafia, now everyone is a fucking rat, greedy bastard’s everywhere, the mafia where I was a young boy is what I will instil in Tomas but the bitches I married and bore are hell-bent on making my boy! My only boy! Turn soft. 

Women have always been owned either by their fathers’ husbands or sons! they are beneath us, as they should be!” I paused and licked my lips, nostalgia hit me and I leaned a little more on my cane.

 Giving this bitch my blood might just kill her and that bastard she carried, she has disgraced me among my peers, they snicker when I walk by, and they say I cannot put my house in order.

“In my time it was different, we got betrothed before we were born, and I have been betrothed to Isabella Bernardi, Don Mateo Bernadi’s second daughter, all my life.

 she had three distant cousins who used to come to visit with her in those days, she was loyal and she was obedient to me, as she should as my property now” I cleared my throat, and looked in Mateo's direction.

 “I can tell you where you get that vulgar insatiable disease you have, you got it from your mother” I paused, I started feeling weak, taking out this tainted blood had made me weak, weaker than I expected it to be, I leaned on the iron door.

“The day everything changed was the day of my coming of age party, we young ones decided to hang back and have a little fun, I didn't want to, but I was tempted to see Isabella naked before me”

 I continued.

“I realised that she had been missing for quite some time, so I searched everywhere, it's like she had disappeared from existence, but then I heard voices in the gardens behind my father’s estate, I decided to investigate, I can never forget that night, it changed our lives forever,” I paused again, all that talking had made my throat heavy with pain.

I paused for a long time when Silvio shook the gun in my face, 

“you can rest when you are dead” he said, I sat up slowly, I looked into his eyes, there seemed to be nothing there, just savagery.

“ that night, I saw Isabella with my best friend your father Lorenzo throw a bloodied sac into a hole, there was someone else there too, Isabella’s third cousin, one of them, Liana Bianchi” I paused and looked at Silvio, I waited for him to come to the realization himself.

“Liana Bianchi, that’s my mother, that’s her maiden name!” Silvio thundered, his voice shook the pillars of the entire room.

“Yes, And together they buried someone and a while later the three of them got intimate and fucked right there on that person’s grave” I finished, 

“Is this a joke? A threesome? Everyone has threesomes, is that the terrifying secret ?" Mateo asked, he kept looking at my daughter lying on the bed, with pathetic sad puppy eyes just like Lorenzo had been, I warned him but he never listened.

“You see my father warned me on time that women can never be trusted, you give them everything and they still spread themselves for every coming dick”

I smirked, “So I decided to punish Isabella and I cut off my best friend for this betrayal, yet I couldn't tell anyone especially my grandfather who had invested so much in uniting with Isabella’s family that his sister inlaws family had already fucked the wife he fought so had to betroth me to” I stopped and dragged in air deeper as I felt myself begin to feel faint.

“You don't get to die old man!” Mateo yelled loudly into my ear stirring me awake.

I was furious but Silvio held a gun tightly to my head, he had always terrified me where his raw untainted rage came from, it was definitely not from soft head Argento who wanted to do everything by the book, I spat heavily at Silvio’s feet.

 

“your father has always been weak, and that’s why he was the perfect replacement for whatever they had going on, the three of them,” I said adjusting myself on the iron door, I looked at the time on my Cartier watch, 2 am.

The three of them were obsessed with each other, everyday Isabella kept slipping away from my control, Lorenzo, once a trusted friend started undermining me in front of the entire mafia family, and rumours started flying around that my fiance was even already pregnant by another man” I continued, the feeling of anger and hate I harboured in those days decided to pay a visit.

“I couldn't believe it so I went to her father, he told me she was on a prayer pilgrimage to Rome, but I knew it was a lie, I tracked her down to an old convent where she had a daughter,” I said taking shorter breaths this time.

“A sister? I had an older sister?” Mateo asked in disbelief, “Yes and she may still be alive, they left her at the convent and pretended as if nothing happened, I was strong-armed to remain engaged to her, the three of them continued their disgusting acts, this time they didn't bother to hide it anymore” I replied him.

Silvio put his gun away, his face bathed in confusion,

 “I don't understand, I never heard of this. How am I just finding out about this? My mom and Mateo’s parents? I don't understand?” he asked over and over.

“Lorenzo was very influential in the brotherhood, he was his father’s true prodigy, his weakness was the soft embrace of a woman, in this case, he had been seduced by my fiance and her cousin” I paused again.

 “ he demanded to marry both of them, it is taboo to covet property belonging to a member of the brotherhood, his proposal was rejected by Don Benardi, this enraged the entire lords and there was a war, a very bloody war that lasted for 4 months, we lost money, power, resources to the way, eventually he surrendered, they were cut off, and sent out of Italy” I paused, my voice gradually failing me.

“I don't understand I was born in Italy” Mateo reminded me, I laughed, foolish boy.

“three years later, Lorenzo walks back into the fold, with nothing but Liana in his arms, apparently your mother found out about their secret love and she didn't take the news well when they said they were leaving her” I laughed 

 “she had been obsessed with your father since she laid eyes on him,” I said.

 “They wanted to be married just them so they eloped with no one as their witness except their two-year-old son Emiliano and Liana’s sister Lucia, we didn't see or hear from your mother until the day of the wedding, she walked in heavily pregnant, she picked up the cake knife and stabbed Sofia multiple times until she bled to death right there in front of everyone” I paused coughing loudly before clearing my throat as I waited for the stunned boys to get their bearing.

I checked the time again 2:05 am

“This story is not consistent, so many holes, my mother is still alive, and she does not have stab marks,” Silvio said, he looked at me with his eyebrows arched in beautiful confusion.

“That is not your mother Silvio, Liana Bianchi is dead and the story doesn't end there, I hope you have the stomach for what comes next””
