A affluent and well known business man and mafia leader decides to take a trip to his secluded vacation home in the Caribbean for the first time.
Leaving behind a fiancee who is too wrapped up in planning their arranged wedding and his unrequited l...
" Good evening Mr Torrio, welcome to Jamaica, I'm your housekeeper Maria," a short, dark elderly woman greeted me as I exited the black SUV.
" Good night Maria," I said to her softly,"
" Everything is ready and waiting for you sir," she replied.
"Thanks Maria I really appreciate it," I said curtly.
The meeting was everything I wanted, he agreed blindly to all my needs might I add he does drive a good bargain. What I gave to him is meager allowance money to me, I expect to earn far more than he can see. He's going to regret not asking for more in the long run but if he proves to be trustworthy I'll up his pay grade to something fit for a partner.
My train of thought was ceased by the vibrating of my phone. Fishing it from my pants pocket I answered without looking at the caller ID.
" Zandro, I've been calling you for hours now!" Alicia's high pitched voice rang through the phone.
" Put---- Alicia, I have not checked my phone for the entire day, " I said coldly. I honestly don't want to argue with the bitch. I had a great day and I won't let her ruin it.
" Zandro you're a fucking liar!," she screamed through the phone, " I know you have been fucking sluts since you got there. Alejandro we are engaged, about to be married. Papa isn't going to like this."
At the mention of her father, my resolve snapped. " Don't fucking threaten me you shit faced whore. You should be glad I am even speaking to you, you poor ass excuse of a woman. "
My breathing became heavy and rapid as I lost my temper, throwing the phone into the wall. She thinks that she can manipulate me through threats, she is playing the wrong game with the wrong man. I'll send her twelve feet under without so much as a wink.
" Jefe, Are you alright? " Dante asked with concern written all over his face.
As I opened my mouth to speak, he cut me off, " It's Alicia, isn't it. " He stated. I simply nod and walk towards the master bedroom. The room was just as I had ordered, with a spacious California King sized bed covered in black sheets and gray pillows. The walls were painted a smoky gray, with a white leather couch by the glass wall. The carpet felt great beneath my feet as I removed my socks and shoes. I quickly stripped of my attire and headed towards the bathroom. A shower was what I needed to clear my head. The cold soothing water poured over me, releasing all the tension in my body.
Half an hour later I was sprawled in bed weary from a sleepless week. I know my body needed the rest but being a boss with a pursuing rivalry, anything is possible. Soon after I slipped into a subconscious sleep, replaying the week's events in my head.
A knock resounded from my bedroom door, upon opening I discovered it was Maria, she carried a plate of bacon, eggs, toast, fried dumplings and a cup of green tea. The aroma of freshly prepared food filled my nostrils causing my stomach to rumble.
" Good morning Mr. Torrio. Here is your breakfast, please do enjoy and if there is anything you may need, feel free to tell me about it, " Her motherly voice said tainted with her warm Jamaican accent.
" Sure Maria, I will and please call me Alejandro," I said to her gently. I took the loaded plate from her hands and began eating. Instantly I can tell the difference in our cuisines, I could taste the spices and herbs she used to prepare the bacon and eggs. The food is heavenly, I might be a mafia don but I do appreciate some great food.
Today I am meeting with Julius to examine the marriage contract. I need to find a loop hole and I need to do it fast. There is so much and no more of her disgusting behavior that I can take. I would be lying if I didn't say that I was an asshole to Alicia, I could be more of a gentleman but bitches don't deserve respect.
" Buongiorno capo," Dante said with a cheerful expression. The only time he shows this much emotion is when he gets laid or sees his family. Dan's father is Italian but his mother is Jamaican. He gets excited every time he visits her because he also sees his 2 sisters, Falisia and Daylan, and twin brothers Grayson and Gavon, both of whom are older than him by a few years.
" Buongiorno Dante," I replied, " What has you in such a cheerful mood?"
" I'm visiting family today," he replied with a bright smile. " Family is everything to this mafioso."
" I know Dan, that's why you are my closest friend," I said giving him a small smile.
" I know, I know and by the way Alejandro, we need to celebrate our newly forged alliance," He said while walking to the door, " We're going out tonight and I won't take no as an answer." With that last statement Dante shut my bedroom door.
I began to undress, as I walked towards the bathroom for a shower. I stepped in after the last article of clothing fell to the floor and twisted the knobs of the shower. Standing under the warm spray, my mind is like a broken record, it constantly replays the terms and conditions of this arranged marriage but it fails to find any obvious loop holes. Well, Julius will come up with something I missed I'm sure about that, it makes no sense I dwell on it.
Stepping out of the shower I immediately began to dry myself with the soft white towel on the rack. I tied it so that it hung low on my waist. I dressed in a fitted black tee and black skinny jeans. Suddenly my phone rang and Julius' name flashed across the screen.
" Julio," I answered, calling him by his childhood nickname. It never really went away we just used it less as we got older. Julius has been in the family all his life, he knows only us as family and I am proud to call him a brother of mine although we are not related by blood.
" Buongiorno Zandro. I have been assessing the contract between you and Alicia, meet me at Heroes Park we'll discuss my findings there," Julio said, "Oh and please take Dante so he can start searching for eligible men for the war. Use this opportunity to asses the Guerra's standings in the Caribbean."
" Yes Julio be glad your my friend cause I'd be offended if anyone else gave me orders," I spoke with a chuckle, " See you soon my brother." With that I ended the call.
I made my way downstairs pondering which vehicle I should drive. I had a few of my cars from my personal collection imported for my little getaway. I opted for my sinister black Rolls Royce as it gave the casual vibe I was looking for.

I rang Dante telling him to meet me out front.
As we drove through the gates of the mansion, my mind wondered to the contract and the brewing conflict between us and the Guerras.................... ........................................................................................... ....................................................................... .................... .......................................................................
