Assassin's Secret

chapter 10

Enzo's POV

Going to this ball might be the stupidest idea, but here we are. Two weeks ago those idiots decided to jump Maurizio, they clearly didn't do enough research on him if they thought that 8 men is enough to beat him. That wasn't their biggest mistake though, no, it was sending a death threat to my mother.

My brothers and I are okay with people threating us or trying to hurt us, but the moment it comes to our mother... we will do anything in our power to protect that woman.

Even Demarco who is usually trying to avoid violence joined us.

No one hurts her.

"Enzo, I want you to scan the area. Someone there might try to kill us. Your mother and I are going to meet with Richmonds."

Second stupid idea of the night, meeting with Dante Richmond. I don't trust that fucker and his family.

"You sure it's a good idea? Can we trust them?" I asked him.

"Figlio, we can't trust anyone, but you know what they say, enemy of my enemy is my friend. "

"Or a bigger enemy."

"Please behave. I don't want us to grab any unnecessary attention."

The moment we walked in we got all the attention. People heard of us, of Russians trying to kill us and of how ruthless my father is, and how I'm even worse.

I love having that reputation though.

........

I have to give it to them, this place looks beautiful. Each year they organize a ball in different countries. Last year it was in Russia. Let's just say it didn't go so smoothly.

The building itself is a castle somewhere in uptown New York. I wouldn't be surprised if someone arrived on horses.

They searched us at the front. Two rules, no weapons and no killing. Like that's going to stop anyone. You don't want to have a Foundation as your enemy though. I've seen them destroy families within one day.

The ballroom is beautiful. Chandeliers, golden walls, music. Some people are dancing, some are sitting and discussing business, and a few are getting wasted. That's what Maurizio would be doing if he was here. Can't blame him though, part of me wants to too.

"Alessandro Moretti, glad you could make it."

"How could I miss it Henry." My father said, I'm pretty sure his actual name isn't Henry, he is a member of the Foundation and they all have fake names and identities.

Dangerous men to mess with.

"I was worried that with everything going on you and Richmonds wouldn't make it, I'm glad I was wrong about both of you," he looked towards the wall where Dante Richmond was standing with his son. "Anyways, I hope you will enjoy your time here." He said and left.

"Enzo, we are going to meet Richmond, you know what to do."

"Si."

They left and I started walking around the room, listening to those small talks. That's my job for tonight, find out what others know. Demarco was supposed to do this and I was supposed to be with father talking business, but he had to stay home with Rio.
