MATTEO'S POV

I felt the anger boiling to my chest as I watched Kique approach me and Arsia. He carried himself like he was such a gentleman when in all honesty he had become the spun of Satan. 

The thought of all the evil tidings he had caused us started to flow into my mind. No one hates him as much as Luca and I do, but the hatred Luca has for him on the other hand is immensely greater than mine.

Kique is nothing but bad news, last time he was in New York City Luca and I almost lost everything. Our families' legacies almost went into turmoil. He grew a malevolent heart over the years, we tried to reach out to him like a thousand times, but every time we did we lost something or got hurt in the process. It never did work! He is a lost cause at this point, Kique has made himself the enemy and should be treated as one!

"Saluti (greetings) old sport," Kique grinned as soon as he approached us.

"I see you are back in New York City, the world was not big enough for you?" I seethed in disgust from him calling me 'old sport'.

"No Matteo, actually the world was big enough, I am back because I missed my favourite business associates, and plus how could I let you and Luca rule New York City all by yourselves without me?" He stated with a wide grin.

"Associates? More like Arch nemesis!" I growled.

"Call it whatever you want to call it, we are family either way. And who is the lovely lady hiding behind you, I see you have found yourself another eye-candy," Kique disrespectfully said as he motioned to Arsia.

Arsia immediately glared at him with anger and disgust plastered onto her face, I was so glad she did!

"Watch your words carefully, Jimenez, She is not eye-candy and she is not mine. So state what the fuck your business is in my warehouse!" I growled.

"Touché Matteo, Touché," he chuckled and then smirked at Arsia.

"Heard Luca is now CEO and has been ruling New York City with you as his Robin sidekick. So I am here to do business with you guys... Adding a little 'Joker' to the crew doesn't hurt anyone... I have money and you have shipments, so what do you say Old Sport?" Kique grinned.

"You are asking me to make a deal with the devil Jimenez, how dumb do you think I am?" I asked in disgust at the thought of working with him.

"Well you see Giovanni, I don't think you are dumb. I just think you are more understanding than Mariano and would be smart enough to know when you are being offered the deal of a lifetime" Kique confidently said.

"A lifetime with you sounds like hell! So No! If you would be so kind enough to get the fuck out of my warehouse I would appreciate it so very much!" I commanded.
