Chapter 39
My Ex Mafia

Sylvester

Once Rico and I got to the club, we made our way to the VIP lounge where everyone else would be waiting. There were men dressed in different dark shaded suits sitting around the main table, laughing and conversating with each other but it all stopped once they were aware of my presence.

"If it isn't Sylvester Gravano, rumor has it that you're the one who ended Alberto Lucchesse." One of the men said. He was dressed in a maroon suit with a black shirt on. He had short brown hair and dark brown eyes.
His name was Quinton Gambino, he was the Don of the Gambino family and an associate of Alberto's. We've never had issues and I intended to keep it that way.

"Rumors are dangerous things wouldn't you say?" I replied to him as I walked deeper into the lounge, grabbing a seat at the table with Rico standing right by me. "I agree with you there Gravano. We all know that you and Alberto had issues, you always have but to think that you'd actually kill him makes me wonder why, you've had peace for over 2 years and then suddenly you decide to kill him Infront of his mother, why?" He asked as he sipped his whiskey.
"Alberto needed to be put in his place, he assumed that he had more power that he didn't so I made sure to teach him a lesson."

"But that doesn't answer the aching questions that we've all been asking ourselves. What could he have possible done that pushed you to killing him, knowing that you'd be risking a war in place?" He said with a smirk on his face.
He knew nothing, none of these men did, which meant that none of them knew about Nicole or else it would have been brought up.

I knew what my actions would lead to and I already took precautions for it. The only thing that needed to happen was a meeting between myself and Alberto's right hand man to discuss taking over the Lucchesse army and businesses. "Like I said Alberto needed to be taught a lesson, which most definitely did now that he's no longer with us. That's all the information that should concern you, and I hope that this is also a lesson for all of you, to not push your luck because you'll suffer the same fate." I said letting them know that if they tried to provoke the Gravano name it would end badly for them.

"My loyalty will always be with Alberto and his family whether he lives or not and if there's a war which we both know is on its way, just know that I will side with the Lucchesse and whoever steps up to take over, you're threat's mean nothing" Quinton said before getting up and living with a few men.
The Gambinos were known for the violent things they did with no shame and no remorse. Quinton was a ruthless man who killed for fun on occasions just to prove points. That's why Alberto and him were perfect associates for each other, because they both had no morals and stood for nothing.

I've never had issues with Quinton because he knew not to cross me and I would not cross him. But now all of that may change. "The Lucchesse family is powerless without Alberto, they're weak. If a war were to come they'd be walking into their deaths." I said to Rico as I stood up. "Find out who the next Don of the Lucchesse will be and let me know. I'd like to have a talk with them" I left the lounge and decided to go back home.

On my way back home I called one my men and told them to prepare for what was to come. If there was to be an upcoming mafia war, I needed all my men to be aware and ready for anything. Once I got back home I found Nicole sitting by the door as if she was waiting for someone.

I sighed and chose to ignore it, I was not in the mood for any of it, what I needed was to focus on what was more important right now.
"Sylvester can we talk?" She said as she stood up the moment she saw me walk through the door. "Not now Nicole." I said roughly. "Please Sully we need to talk...about last night...this morning... Alberto...Kev-" "No. We. Don't." I said as I cut her off.

"Come on Sully, don't shut me out now, we need to have this conversation " her voice got louder as she started to get irritated with me. "I want to explain everything and I want you to tell me everything about what happened to Alberto!" She yelled and I snapped. "No Nicole. You're days of knowing everything that goes on in my business are done-" "business?" She cut me off and scoffed. "I wouldn't call running around killing people a business" she said.

"I'm not doing this with you now" I said as I tried to walk away but she stepped Infront of me and stopped me. "I said we need to talk Sylvester" "and I said. Not. Now." With every word I took a step further to her making her take a few steps back.
I scanned her face and she looked terrified of me making me sigh. "We will talk about this tomorrow. But for now someone will assist you with your boxes and clothes, you'll be out by tomorrow evening." I made my way past her and walked up the stairs keeping my head down.
"You're kicking me out seriously?" She seemed shocked.
"No. I'm giving you what you've been asking for since you got here. Now that Alberto is no longer an issue you're free to go, if you have any further questions, I'll answer them tomorrow." I took one more glance at her before leaving. I knew she wanted to say something but she kept it to herself for once.
