Chapter 1
Marco's POV:
Sitting here doing work is not it for me, I would rather enjoy my downtime by going to a club. These donations really need to get higher, I'm tired of living on the down-low. I need some fun. "Rachael!" Rachael bursts in the room and looks at me with questioning eyes, "Bring me a suit. One of my black Armani suits ." Rachael nods and walks out of the room, five minutes later, she comes back with a black ironed suit, "thank you, I'll be downstairs in 20 minutes. I want a bagel and coffee on the table so I can eat it on the go." Rachael nods once more before going downstairs to prepare my brief meal.
I get dressed into my suit, I leave the blazer in my room. I roll up the sleeves to my elbow and unbutton enough buttons to show off my neck and chest tattoo. Before I leave the room, I collect my keys and cellphone. I jog downstairs to find Rachael in the kitchen...dead. My eyes widen and I pat myself down for my gun I consistently keep on me. When I find nothing, I dodge upstairs and grab a spare from my draw and slowly creep out of the room. I hear indistinct whispers coming closer, I prepare for the worst and aim my gun every angle I look. Gunshots fired. "Go, go,go!" A woman's voice yells, suddenly I'm surrounded by guards and assassins. I put my hands up as if I'm surrendering
I'm fucking cooked.
Lucia's POV:
Mafia boss, Zane Marino, Marco Marino's brother and boss, is on my list to kill. I rub my forehead, "Mmm, fuck. Do I have to kill this Greek god?" My boss narrows his eyes at me. "This is not the time for gooning. We need to move in as soon as possible, or there will be consequences." I wince at his harshness and nod. Nodding because if I didn't, I would be next on the list. "Alright, now, get the troops ready to infiltrate the premises." He looks down at the ground and sighs, "everything okay?" I walk towards him, "Everything is swell. Now go." I stand there for a moment then I walk out of the office door.
"Alright..." I pause before starting again, "we'll be arriving in exactly 2 minutes. I need you all to stick to the plan, if not then things can go south." Everyone grunts in approval. I don't understand why Bertram commanded them not to speak unless asked a question. I whisper to myself. We arrive at Zane's current home and we all gather by the door. Some of my guards go around back so there is no way for Zane to get out. I pick the lock of his door and quietly walk in with the troops behind me, I hear clanking in the kitchen and I send a guard to go see it. I heard a faint groan and my guard came back, "maid." I nod and make my way upstairs. I hide behind the main room door and it comes bursting open. There he is. He sees the maids dead body and dodges back upstairs to grab a gun. "Go, go, go!" I yell. as soon as I yell I run in the room and realize...this isn't Zane. "Who are you?" I step closer hold a gun up to his head, "don't fucking ask me questions! why are you in my house?" I snort, "where is Zane?"
Marco's POV:
"He's not here. Why do you need him?" "Because we have suspicion that he murdered Jaq Redman and his wife, Sicilia Redman." My lips curl in a smirk then drops, "the only people he's killed are the ones who betrayed him. Is that news for you?" The woman kicks the sides on my knee and I fall to the ground, I groan in pain but I keep my composure. "Why are you putting your nasty limbs on mine. I've done nothing wrong." She glares at me and snorts, "let me guess, you're Marco Marino? His boss." I chuckle, "and you are?" "Lucia Bonetti."
I get back on my feet and put my hand out to shake hers. She looks down at my hand and grunts out a laugh, I frown and put my hand in my pocket. "You ruined my night, I would like to go out." I signal to the door and try to make my way through but her guards pushes me back, "vaffanculo." I curse under my breath.
Vaffanculo- (Fuck you)
