La Mà·fia

24

They all tuned the gun in his hand. His eyes blazing, cold. ‘"He was never my father." He said coldly.
                                                        ............................................................
The cars pulled in front of the mansion. Mateo had his gun ready, but he had not fired it neither had Luca or Gianni but Marco. "He was never my father."  Rang through Metteo’s head. He knew he’d only just met the man who had claimed to be his father, but he did not expect to shot him and blow his fucking brains out and splatter them across the walls of his study. He hadn’t long met his real father Gianni, but he and Gianni were both on the same page so why weren’t he and Raven?
    Marco’s eyes were still so cold and unrevealing when they entered the mansion they all wanted answers, but none of them we’re expecting to get them today. He slumped back on the chair twisting his ring around his finger. The one Luca had gave him for his 18th, a family heir loom. He had told him and he wanted him to have it. "This ring has been in the family for generations it’s been handed down from father to son. Its holds a deep respect in our family for our father’s and I know you’ll respect it like I did, because you have a deep respect for others and a deep respect for me. I’m so proud to call you my son Marco."
    That seemed so long ago before he found out the truth. He had the deepest respect for Luca he’d learnt everything from him. From how to respect others, to stick up for himself and even how to load and use a gun, something his mother did not agree with but Luca has remind her it was for his own safety but he had no idea why but he’d soon find out.
Alora looked  at Luca. "What happened to Raven Luca we heard gunshots."
"Did you kill him?"
"No."
"Gianni?"
‘No."
"Please don’t tell me Meteo did?"
"No."
"So who did?"
"One of the guards leave it at that because that’s all you need to know."
"Who are you protecting?"
"No one, so please just leave it at that."
"Okay."
He pulled her close. "Its been a long day for all of us we need to rest and wake up afresh tomorrow."
She smiled he leaned forward. "This will never happen again. I promise you." He said, kissing her.
Valentina walked up to Gianni. "I’m sorry for calling you an ass hole."
"You don’t have to I am."
"Will you and mom ever."
"No."
"I’d like to get to know you dad."
"I’d like to get to know you to princess."
"Why do you keep calling me that?"
"Cause you are your my little princess, and always will be.’
"I want to knwo everything about you?"
"You sure you really want to know I don’t think you’re mom will want me to.’
"Tell me.’
"There’s a lot of things you kids don’t know about me, Raven and Luca." He placed his arm around her hugging her. "We have been fighting for years Luca’s father wanted Italy."
"Where is his father?"
"Dead. I shot him."
"Oh."
"Don’t be mad at me princess it’s just how the Mafia works."
"You and Luca are the Mafia."
"We are. Luca wanted an alliance I refused but we made a deal they he could see his son as long as he stayed away from your mother."
"So how did he end up with her?"
"That princess is along story and for another day. I own 60% of Italy. Luca the other 20.  Your mother’s father owned 20 % until he passed and it went to her. We are negotiating in becoming an alliance so we both own Italy together."
"Is that such a wise idea?'"
"It was your mother’s idea. Let’s just hope it’s not a reckless one. Luca wanted her 20% she refused."
"She never said."
"She wanted all of us to work together not against one another."
"When did she tell you?"
"You ask a lot of questions princess, just like your mother." He laughed.
"I just want to get know you mom never said anything."
"I can’t say I blame her. I don’t I was a terrible husband. All you need to know is we both love you and would do anything for both you and Metteo."
"Dinner is ready."
They looked around his arm dropped from around here and she hugged Metteo he’d gone to his room as soon as they had arrive with out a word. She dropped her arms from around him. "Go through I’d  like to speak to dad."
She smiled walking away. Gianni looked at Metteo. "How are you after today?"
"Numb and shocked."
"Me to. You’ll get used to it son one day you and your sister will take my place."
"You're  Mafia aren’t you."
"I am. I am the Mafia king and one day you will take my place I’d like to teach you everything I know, train you so that you are prepared."
"I’d like that."
He smiled. "Come on or you mom will have your head and chop my balls off."
They both laughed walking through  the mansion to the lounge where they sat down for dinner.
