The Arrangement

Chapter 5 - Their First Encounter

- V I N C E N Z O -

"Son," My father walked into my house.

"What?" I looked at him as I put on my shirt and a whore let herself out.

"Classy," He eyed me as she walked out.

"Can I help you?" I changed the subject.

"It's about Charlie," he began and my heart began to race, "And Kahn."

My heart began to slow down. He's her body guard and he's not stupid. He wouldn't do anything stupid to put my wife at risk.

"What happened?"

He took in a deep breath, "He's been flirting and been a little touchy with her."

I began to heat up and my heart was racing. I clenched my jaw and balled my fist. I'm going to kill this fucking asshole. His job is to be a bodyguard not a boyfriend. She's to be my fucking wife.

"Call a meeting," I snapped at him, "And tell me everything he's done."

"He's been calling her angel face in Italian, putting his arm around her, and trying to convince her that he's a perk of your marriage."

"He's dead," I opened the door, "Get the fuck out. I'm calling a meeting and I handle this."

"I'm not done," He snapped back, "And watch your fucking attitude with me, son."

"What fucking else is there?" I began to raise my voice before going on a rant, "She's my fucking wife! She isn't to fuck or even look at any other man! He's her bodyguard and he thinks that he can take advantage of being around her!"

"You just fucked another woman," He gestured to the door.

"That's different."

He let out a low chuckle before I gestured for him to continue with what else he has done, "Well Charlie has made it clear that she doesn't want him dead."

"That's unfortunate."

"Let me make this more clear. She will break the contract if you kill her only friend in our ghetto ass mafia, were her words."

I laughed, "She won't be breaking any fucking contract."

"I'm just telling you what she said, what you do to Kahn is completely up to you."

"I know it is," I walked away and turned on the shower, "I'll see you in an hour."

He let himself out as I began getting in the shower. I was fuming. How dare he try to get with my wife! I can't see her yet because of the arrangement and he's taking advantage of that! He's not getting away alive. He's one of my top men and I'll be damned if she has an affair, even if it would benefit me. And her? What the fuck is wrong with her? She's threatening to end our contract for some boy? I'm going to be her husband in two days. She has no right to speak to me like that or to demand anything from me until we're wed.

I got out the shower and began to get dressed. I grabbed my phone and called my mom.

"Hey Mama," I spoke, "How are you all doing?"

"We're doing good. Getting excited for the big day! How are you, bambino ?"

"About to kill Kahn," I said bluntly, "How's Charlie?"

"She's good," she took in a deep breath before going on, "Ieri ha avuto un po' di atteggiamento nei confronti di Kahn ed è ancora sconvolta, ma penso che sta iniziando a calmarsi. Non vuole davvero che tu lo uccida, ma so come funziona la nostra mafia ."
