AND THUS IT BEGAN

CHAPTER 3

Marco Romano:

     "Invita ogni dannata famiglia di ogni parte del dannato mondo a questa festa, è la grande rivelazione che ricordi?"

       (Invite every damn family from every part of the damn world to this party, it's the grand reveal remember ).

With that He hung up on Luca who had done nothing but constantly question his decision about finally showing himself to the world.

Time had passed and days hard turned into weeks that slowly morphed into agonizing months of endless training that birthed the monster he had become four years later.

He knew that even if he turned back the hands of time it could never change everything that had happened within the last few years.

He remembers that night like it was just yesterday, the night he had lost the love of his life, a love he never got to profess because he had something else in mind,  he had planned to propose that they run away together but none of that ever got to happen all thanks to his cruel ex Mistress.

He remembered how that cruel woman had made him write that cruel letter against his will,
Surely he knew that there were going to be consequences for the love he had developed for his beautiful Catherina but how was he to know that his mistress had grown abominable desires for him.

Desires that had made her demand that Marco satisfied her intimately except that he had turned her down, that day she had sworn that he would pay for not fulfilling her darkest desires that unfortunately involved him.

If only it had occurred to him that the vile woman would meet them in such a compromising situation he would have made sure to pursue Catherina some other way except he hadn't, now his actions had cost them a life they never even got to begin.

That Vile woman was one of the reasons he was hosting the event, she owed him a depth that involved a life for a life and he felt that it was time she paid up.

Four years later and he could still remember all the torture he had endured in that horrible dungeon, how he had been shot between the chest and left for dead, how they had disposed of him but he had been save by their family doctor who had sent him to his brother in Italy who was the Don at the time.

Those were darker times, his wounds had been healed after a couple of months, and soon he had began to train, Don Luca had been Lucas's father but for some reason Luca had refused to be the next boss, saying that he wasn't interested in a responsibility like that.

It had been handed to Marco who spent the next one year conquering the mafias in Italy and America, four years later he was known as the mafia king but still it wasn't enough.

All he wanted was his Catherina but where else was he supposed to search, all he got from the good doctor was that She had ran away from home after his supposed death, leaving no clue as to where she had gone.

He had seen the horrible press release by her parents and how they always indirectly warned her to stay dead wherever she was, he knew everything but still he was ignorant. He had every answer as regards every mafia family because he was always informed but then the only information he truly needed which was the whereabouts of his love seemed to be impossible.

Over the years he had acquired more wealth than he was capable of keeping account of, he had purchased lovely homes in more countries than he cared to remember, he had bought a cruise ship and named her Catherina because those were some of her many dreams, he had bought a house  here in Italy, Sicily precisely because she always wanted to own one.

He remembered when he began the architectural process of the house and how he had listed everything she would have wanted word by word till the blueprint was complete, it had been a memorable process for him and that was where his search had began, she loved Sicily so much but she never made the trip cause she never told anyone about it, he had wondered if there was a possibility that she changed her mind and moved somewhere else.

This was also one of the reasons he was hosting the event, he hoped that wherever she was she would see that he had survived and that he was alive and healthy, waiting patiently for a time when she would return to him.

      "The jet is ready sir"
His P.A had informed him before opening the door for him to get down.

He was on his way to New York City for a meeting seeing as he had just hired the best event planners in the country.

He needed perfection on that day and he was willing to go any length just to achieve that.
