Marco's pov
I was going back to the house after having a walk with my dogs. I found Malik in the garden doing some drills.
" Morning, Coline."
" Morning, Nicole." I retorted, " Mates, say good morning to uncle Malik." I smiled at my dogs
" No, Marco, no... Don't da..." And before he finishes his words, the dogs jumped on him.
" Oh! Good job, let's reward you." I said as I took them away from him
" You are dead... Cole... Marco... Carnell... You're... gonna... pay." He threatened as he tried to catch his breaths
I chuckled and took my dogs to their house to feed them.
I entered the house after 20 minutes to find Dad sitting in the living room, reading a book... I missed to see this view... But I'm still mad at him anyway wave this off, Cole... You have something more important to tell him
" Morning, Dad."
" Morning, Cole."
" For the last time it's Marco." I sighed
" Why Peter can call you that and I don't?"
" Simple because Peter is allowed and you are not."
" This is not even an answer, anyway, you slept well?"
" I did, Dad, we have to talk about the mafia."
" What's up with the mafia?"
Malik came downstairs and glared at me when I just smirked
" I initiated talking about the mafia, Nico." I told him
" Yeah, carry on." Malik said
" Ahh so this is serious."
" Yeah, listen please... As you are back Dad, So yeah, we are happy to give you back the leadership of the mafia, your company, your work, everything."
He laughed. " Have I asked for them? No! I'll be the boss of the mafia that's for sure but you two led this gang 10 times better than me. You still the bosses and I'll be there too. I won't stop your work or put down your words. I trust you blindly and I'm sure having you with me there, is the right thing to do. For my company and my stuff I'll take them just to take some pressure off your backs."
" Alright then." Malik said
" You didn't get it, I don't want to be into this anymore."
" What?" Malik looked at me bemused
" I want to rest."
" Yeah, rest, but don't leave everything... This is the stupidest decision I have ever heard in my life ." Malik said
Not as stupid as yours... I ignored him, he is the last person that I should consider his opinion... He is the professor of the extraordinary decisions.
" Malik, we should respect his decisions whatever it is... I won't do the same mistake, Marco... I won't stop you... But can I know what you want to do?"
" Yeah, sure... I have my law firm, my company-"
" This is so selfish." Malik cut me off
" It was selfish when you left for a mission without telling me, it was selfish when you decided to leave and saying I'm not your brother... So shut your mouth." I retorted
" I apologized 100 million times about it Marco, I didn't leave I'm here, look."
" Stop it boys... Marco want to rest? okay fine."
" Thank you. You see? Easy." I said to Malik then stood up and went to my room
" You will let him go? He is the boss, all the mafias know that... They will be after him... Not safe for his ass... It's not easy to leave this shit. He can't leave, dad... You can't stay shut about this." I heard Malik trying to convince Dad
