Raw Love Vol. I

Part 43

Lorenzo's POV

"I do not care who he is! If I say that I want his daughter, then you will bring her to me!" I yelled as I slammed my hands down on my office desk. The initial impact of my hand on the desk made my men along with my brothers slightly flinch.

It turns out that the man that Klarissa stabbed was a man who was apart of the French Mafia. It's no surprise that the people who attacked her were apart of an organized crime association, but I would have never expected the French. That branch usually tried it's best to distant itself with the Italians after what happened with my father. Honestly, I think the whole branch is afraid of me.

Had the French just attacked one of my drug routs or intercepted my selling of trafficked girls, I might have been able to look past it. The only reason why I might of considered it, is because I don't want any trouble with any group of the mafia right now. God knows I have enough bullshit going on at home.

However, what happened last night was personal and premeditated. Those men knew that Klarissa was mine and saw that night as an advantage. They saw her as an opportunity to be able to control me and if they had been able to record something, they might of succeeded. I would have sold my soul again just to make sure that recording wouldn't see the light of day.

But now I have a different type of problem on my hands. I have to get revenge for what they tried to do to my girlfriend. Not only will it give me personal satisfaction, but it will reinforce my place in my world. And the only thing that I need to achieve my goal, is the French mob leaders daughter.

"Lorenzo you're crazy to think that our men are even going to be able to extract her out of there!" I heard Ricco reason loudly.

"He's not wrong Lorenzo. We don't have the right recourses anymore to do a job like this." Luca said as he agreed with Ricco.

"We have Anika and Portia." I said in a matter of fact tone.

"Anika isn't an option." Luca said through his teeth. He was pissed that I even suggested it, but I didn't care. I run this shit around here, so I can say whatever the hell I want.

"You don't get to tell me who is and isn't an option." I growled back to him.

Luca opened his mouth to say something, but quickly closed it. He could tell I wasn't in the mood for arguing.

"Why don't we all just take a break. We will continue talking all this through at a later time. Everyone is dismissed." Angelo said as he dismissed everyone.

My brothers looked over to me as if I was going to overrule Angelo's idea. But I wasn't because Angelo was right. I just need some time to figure everything out without everyones eyes on me.

One by one everyone left the room. When the door clicked shut, Angelo let out a sigh and moved to sit in the seat across from me.

"Lorenzo we need a better plan. We can't just send a team in there to extract her, Carlo will be expecting it." Angelo said in a serious tone.

"Well what do you suggest?" I asked with exasperation. I knew that Angelo doesn't deserve my anger, but he's used to dealing with my unruly temper.

"Even though it will be a long shot, I think we should assemble a team and send them. Portia won't do the job without Anika, but we could probably talk them into giving overwatch. After all, they know that estate like the back of their hand." Angelo said. 

"Fine, let's do that." I said as I ran my hand down my face.

"You know this is going to cause a shit storm with the French. If we pull this off, Carlo is going to want you dead." Angelo said as he adjusted his suit jacket.
