Do You Promise Me?

CHAPTER ONE

{Hello guys, GreyLover251/252 here, I did get logged out of the 251 account so I am continuing the story on this account. This is the sequel to Revenge of the Mafia boss, the story line in this book is going to change a bit just cause I have a new idea of where this one is going and how I originally wanted to the story to be played out so if any questions please ask.}

Antonio's POV

Business meetings always had a way of either intriguing me and making me want to celebrate whatever good news was said at the meeting or making me bang my head against the wall in frustration. As I sat In my desk chair in my office at Costa Inc. I could feel a migraine coming on. "Mr Costa if you just hear me out then Im sure my my idea for this added on business to be apart of your company is going to have you on your toes.' I screamed internally just hoping someone hits me in the head with a sledge hammer to take me out of my misery. This video call was with Ms Carolyn Stevens and she has been talking non stop for the past forty-five minutes about this business proposal. A proposal for such a small business that I don't need but possibly thinking about adding. It will mean more money for me but also more headaches and I have plenty of those right now.

"I don't want to be on my toes Carolyn. I want you to make me feel like I have to have this in my company. On my toes is having me on the edge of just killing this thing. Call my secretary and set up another meeting when you have an actual proposal your dead mother would be proud of." I slammed the laptop shut and groaned loudly.

A small gasp came from the corner of the room. An internal pain moved through out my whole body. The last place I wanted to be was here at work. I couldn't focus. All I could think about was Alex. I miss him. He made me forget about the only other love I had in my life and filled the void I had but could never fill with anyone else, but then I lost him in more ways then one. I looked over to the secretary desk where the small gasp came from to see Emma with her brows furrowed and in deep concentration on her computer. Emma was hired one month after Alex was pronounced dead. She's good at her job and I have never had any complaints or issues with her except one.

She is not Alex.

"Something wrong Emma? You crease your face anymore and your face is going to be so full of wrinkles your gonna need plastic surgery." she looked at me with a mockingly shocked face. She's used to my comments by now. I used to watch how I spoke in my office or in the company building in general but this last year has been nothing but hell. "Mr Costa that was not very nice" she said turning back to her computer. I shrugged my shoulders not really caring if I hurt her feelings in any way. I don't really care about anything anymore.

"Lock up when you're done here Emma, I'm leaving. I'm gonna take the weekend off. Push all the meetings back and reschedule my private one on ones to at least a phone call if it's really important, otherwise they can wait till Monday." She gave a quick acknowledgement and continued typing on the keyboard.

Before I could walk out the door I turned around and walked back a little towards Emma and pointed to the corner, "Remember to take that home. I don't want to see that dog in my office anymore."

The Rottweiler I gave Alex laid in the corner snoring loudly. Before Emma could even acknowledge what I had said I was out the door.

I walked to the elevator pressing the lobby button after getting on. The doors opened halfway down to reveal a nicely dressed looking Jamie. His short hair tussled to one side. "Good morning Sir Antonio. How are you this morning?" Jamie stepped inside the elevator and stood side my side with me. his shoulder touching my bicep. "How's my brother today Jamie?" I spend as little time talking to Jamie as I can. I can barely look at him. "Sir Lorenzo is well today. He sent me to you to see if you needed anything."
