Mafia series: Innocence

Chapter 23

Lorenzo's POV

I was so close to getting the thing I have been wanting for the last week. That's was to fuck Brielle until she couldn't walk anymore.

But of course my damn job had to get in the fucking way, the phone call that decided to ruin mine and Brielle's moment was Samuel calling telling me that one of Mario's brothers are on our base asking to talk.

So I of course had them put him in the cell rooms while I make my way over to the base.

As I enter the base I see Greyson and Samuel waiting for me at the door.

"Lui è qui?" I asked as I made my way to them.

(Is he here)

They both nod causing me to make my way down to the cell room to be met with Mateo and Mario's brother in the cell.

Mateo is breathing heavy as he hits the man in the chair again harder this time.

"Enough." I say causing Mateo to move away from the man and stand in the corner of the room.

"You said you wanted to talk to me...so talk."

He looks at me before taking a deep breath.

"My name is Louis and I'm Mario's brother."

"Yeah I got that part but I asked why you wanted to talk to me." I growl causing Louis to flinch a bit.

What did they do to him?

Even though Louis looks lost and scared I can't afford to let my guard down no matter how I am feeling right now, because this could be part of Nikolai's plan.

"I want free from Nikolai's hold and I was afraid to leave because he had Camila but then I found out that you and your men have her in your hold." He says while looking at me.

I can see the truth through his eyes he really didn't want to be under Nikolai's control.

"How old are you?" I asked while grabbing a chair and sitting in front of him.

"17." He answered while shifting uncomfortably from Mateos glare.

I look behind me and give Mateo a nod telling him I'm good on my own.

"He doesn't really like me, does he?" Louis asked while cover the fright in his voice with a low chuckle.

"No he doesn't but it's not your fault more of Nikolai's and your brothers fault."

I wasn't lying Mateo has been my main help with the Bratva and Cartel problem because he had problems with each group.

The Bratva was to blame for his parents death when he was only 14 and my parents took him in because they were close with his family. The Cartel because they killed his wife last year while he was out of country with me.

He always blamed himself until he figured out just last month that the Bratva and Cartel were working together so instead of blaming himself he has been filled with anger and the need for revenge.

"Oh, that's... fair." He said while lowering his head with a look of guilt.

He is to pure for this type of business, he shouldn't be in this line of work because with his way of thinking and the goodness in his heart he would be an easy target for any enemies.

"What about your other brothers?" I asked because I am aware he has 2 other brothers and I need to know if they will be a threat along Nikolai.

"They don't give a damn about Camila, in fact now that Mario is dead Elijah is taking over while Niko is his second in command." He said while a look of disgust is planted on his face.

"If they don't care about your sister, how come you do?" I asked confused on why he is the only one that cares about Camila so much to take the risk of coming onto Italian mafia territory.

"Being the youngest of the Cartel was definitely not easy, I was forced to do alot of things I didn't want to do because I was a man." He takes a deep breath before continuing.

"My first kill was when I was 6 and my father laughed at me as I cried out of guilt, not to mention he would have my older brothers beat me until I learned to fight back even then I wasn't strong enough, so whenever I was crying or trying my best to block out the sounds of my father hitting my mother or my brothers hitting my mother Camila was there watching me making sure I was ok making sure I didn't get hurt even if it almost cost her her own life." He finished with a single tear falling down his face.

Ok... awkward.

I did feel bad for him because I heard the stories of Miguel Costa and the way he trained his children I just never thought it was true.

Maybe that is because I was lucky to be raised by a man who was nothing like that.

"Listen I'm willing to fly you out to Italy to see your sister in one condition."

"Anything I will do anything, just please let me see her." He begged with hopefulness in his eyes.

"You need to tell me what Nikolai and your brothers are planning." I said causing him to lower his eyes in disappointment.

"I wish I could help but I truly have no idea, they always made sure I wasn't at any meetings or missions." He said while looking at me with guilt once again.

"That's fine." I say while standing up and making my way behind him to untie him.

"You can stay in the guest room here and then tomorrow I will have someone drive you to my airstrip and fly you out to Italy." He looks at me with a smile before following me out.

"Capo." I Hear Mateo say before I got to the end of the hall,, I then nod at one of my men to lead Louis to his room..

"What is it?" I asked while crossing my arms over my chest.

"Is it really a great idea to trust him, I mean he is a Costa after all." Mateo says to me while looking behind at a disappearing Louis.

"Mateo I know you want revenge and so do I, but do not question my decisions again am I clear." I say in a low voice not mad but declaring my authority.

"Capo capito." He said before leaving.

(Understood boss)

I hate being tough with him on this situation considering what he had went though but I can't let my men get lose headed because then they will be out of their game and end up dead or have others killed and as don I can't allow that.

I won't allow that.
