The Don's bargain 13
Stefano CarloLuca Manno didn't know that he was biting more than he could chew. For some reason, the old fucker was pushing me to the wall. Why was he choosing to fuck intercept my goods and then disrupt our distribution?How dare he fucking take hostage of the goods and attacking my men? I couldn't wrap my head around the audacity. He had his territory and he had never trespassed before even though we were not exactly on good terms, so why did he suddenly grow the balls to walk into the lion's den?My jaw twitched as my fingers glazed over my moustache. I regarded Matteo with a dark look, then in a fit of anger, I slammed my fist on the desk. "How dare he?"Matteo flinched a little before taking his stand. "I don't know, the last time I heard anything from him, he was sick so I don't know why he's trying to war against us."Matteo was right. Me and my father had been running Sicily and UK borders for so long and no one had ever dared to interrupt our dealings. Or do I say the last p

The fucker didn't pick his call.I watched it ring until it went to voicemail. I pressed my hands together, attempting to keep my cool as my thoughts roamed.I shook my head. One fact remains the same: I had to treat Luca Manno as urgent. If not, he'd spiral out of control, and chopping him off would become impossible. I leaned into my chair, closing my eyes. All I saw was trouble, and then I rose, sliding into my car within a few minutes. As I drove on the road, I got certain information that made the whole situation interesting. I knew I was going to look at that later, but for now, I was heading home.As I got into my penthouse, my maid, Marianna, was standing next to the door. She had worked with my family for years and had eventually assigned her to work for me when I moved into my own apartment. Her services were well needed; I couldn't even do anything domestically for the life of me. Also, I didn't trust other people enough to let them into my space. All the other workers I'v

Now I knew he was definitely taking me for a fool. If he had an issue with my father, why didn't he just go all out for him? Why did he have to tamper with the territories that I had inherited?The worst part of this was that my father saw all of this as a joke. But I won't treat this as such; I won't let that happen. I didn't even need his approval to fight for what was mine. When I become victorious, he would applaud me himself. But for now, I couldn't just sit down doing nothing."Luca Manno would not stop at this; the fool will keep going at this shit if we don't fucking put this to an end." I spat, pacing around."So what are we suggesting we do?" Matteo asked. Usually, I brought the ideas, and he gathered the rest of the men to execute them."I'll inform you when I finalise.""We have to act quickly.""I don't need anyone to say that to me. I know." I snapped, anger coursing through the veins. This is what I hated the most about the mafia. There were too many inherited fights an

While I thought of a perfect way to get through to Luca Manno, seeing that I could kill Tomasso, he gave a perfect suggestion."Take a picture of me looking dead and then send it to him; he'll probably respond since none of his men have been killed since he started fighting with y'all." He suggested, then shrugged. "I don't know, just trying to help since we're now a team."He held Matteo's hand, giving a childish smile. "Right?"Matteo pulled back. "Kid, I don't know if anyone has told you this, but when adults are talking, fucking shut up." "I'm freaking 19, adult." Tomasso snapped."Enough!" I scolded, hitting my desk. We were all in a meeting planning our next moves, and to be very honest, Tomasso has been bringing good ideas. I don't know why Matteo has been bringing about the fact that I chose to spare his life. He had been snapping at him at every given second. Like, hey, redirect that useless anger towards me instead, but he wouldn't, and he couldn't. That was what made me th

"You've got a problem with that?" I asked Matteo."Uhm.. no." He replied. I knew he had a problem with my decision but it was just one of the numerous things he couldn't say to my face. And frankly, I appreciated that."Good, so get to work," I ordered. Given the fact that we hadn't settled our differences, I bit the urge to say a few things about my personal life, like how for a while I had been thinking about my high school girlfriend. Her thoughts had haunted me these past few days. I found myself wondering if she was okay, where she was, and what she was doing. But I decided to shove the voice away. To give voice to my thoughts is to make the feeling more solid."Sure." Matteo ended the call.I blinked my eyes, unbelieving. He rarely did it, I was the one who mostly ended the call. Wow, my little brother was growing some fucking wings. I shook my head and mapped out strategies regarding work for the next few days.-Matteo did exactly as I said and they booked the flight for all

"So you're still going on huh?" Matteo asked the moment we settled at an apartment in the UK. The apartment was mine but sometimes I do put in on hire for people, mostly tourists who wanted a fancy apartment during their stay in the UK.I chuckled, not even annoyed by the frequent question. "yes Matteo I'll be going. Isn't it better to clear this once and for all?""It's not as easy as he's making it seem. He wants to give you the illusion that it's just a peaceful dialogue. I bet he has something under his sleeves." He spoke in a barely concealed angry tone. "I would have still carried my pistol, no matter what the fuck he said. I wouldn't allow myself to be foolish and walk into the lion's den unguarded. Not possible." He ranted as he paced around, shuffling our clothes in the wardrobe. We usually shared a room in cases like this and I loved it a lot but I wouldn't say that to his face. "I've heard you, Matteo. Let's rest up and get ready for 9pm."He shrugged and sank into the be

"I am not your son," I firmly responded to him.He chuckled, revealing his dirty tobacco-stained teeth. "Okay, if you say so. You could never be my son anyway." He ended his statement with a full-fledged chortle and his stupid henchmen equally laughed like they were high on something I didn't know about."Let's go straight to the point, what is the attack all about?" I asked, losing my patience already. Are we fucking to argue about blood ties?He gave a dry laugh. "About that," he started, taking off his hat. His bald hair shone, catching the car's headlight."Like I said to you son, every question about my attack should be directed at your snake of a father. "I flared up. "Don't ever talk about my father in that man." The sound of a trigger alerted me to the two guns which were now directed at me.Matteo brought out his gun as well, and glared at me which that eyes could be interpreted as "I told you so." He was pissed off."Alright, guns down!" Luca manno rasped in Italian languag

BellaBy now I should have been tying the knot with the love of my life, but life has other plans. Plans that led me farther away from my wishes. Just a few months ago, Robin was diagnosed with cancer, which worsened afterwards. It seemed like the pronouncement gave the cancer the right to manifest aggressively. Each time I thought about my boyfriend, my chest ached even more because, as a medical practitioner, I was powerless in the situation.During my break, I decided to check in on Robin in the next ward. Having finished his first lap of the chemotherapy session, he was still under monitoring. Although he didn't have enough strength to talk for now, I enjoyed talking to him. I pushed through the door, and my lips started to spread into a smile."Hey, baby—" I started to say as I closed the door behind me, but my lips shut halfway. My brows furrowed, and then my eyes started to scan around the empty room. Slowly at first, then desperately in search of my boyfriend. Maybe he had be

My whole body froze when my eyes met his cold gaze. I wonder how much Stefano had seen. As he took powerful strides towards us, my heart pounded loudly in my ears.Suddenly, his firm grip pulled me in his direction. We stood opposite Robin who had an awkward smile plastered on his face."Glad to see you, I guess." Robin chuckled, stretching his hands towards Stefano as though they were old friends."You might not be glad to see me next time." Stefano's firm tone matched the cold gaze his eyes held.Robin chuckled, unfazed by his words. I didn't understand what exactly was going on, but I could tell that there was a quiet battle between them. I was torn between screaming and keeping mute. Before I could make any decision, Stefano's hard grip tightened around my wrist and pulled towards the direction of his car."What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled, pain shooting through my hand."Protecting you! You can't afford to spend one more minute with him." Stefano spat, still not freei

"Things are no longer the same, Robin." I whispered, moving backwards."What changed?" He moved closer to me, holding my hands.I wanted to say I had gotten married in his absence but my tongue was tied."I just can't explain it." I shook my head, the unsaid words placing a weight in my chest.Robin cupped my cheeks, his expression sad. He licked his lips, I used to find that very attractive, but now I just wanted to be away from him."Bella, make me understand."I understand he reasons for wanting to be aware of my thoughts. I mean, we were planned on getting marriage. Life was truly unpredictable, why was I finding Robin in the weirdest places and today of all days?"You shouldn't have left, Robin," I sighed, hitting his chest. My heart was splintering into tiny different prices right before my eyes.I had hoped to be content with knowing Robin was fine, even though the relationship doesn't work as planned. But now, Robin wanted the relationship more than any other thing and I could
