LUCIANO

"Quick question, Master Luciano. Please where is my son, Pablo? I haven't seen him around."

Casting a cursory glance at Romano, I clenched my fist. Beforehand, I had instructed him to tell her Pablo went on a long trip to Africa. So for her to be asking me that same fucking question all over again, meant Romano failed to do so.

Romano dropped his gaze to meet the floor and I twitched my lips before returning my attention to Andrea.

"Pablo is not going to be around for a long time," I informed her. "I sent him on a mission to Africa and don't bother trying to contact him. There is no network in his location."

She stared at me quizzically but before she could think of saying anything else, I was already on the way to my room.

Entering my room, I shut the door behind me. Afterward, I plopped on the bed and heaved a sigh. These past few days have fucking stressful. Furthermore, I was expecting some merchandise from Russia tonight so I'd have to visit the seaport to wait for the arrival and inspect my goods.

I inhaled deeply and exhaled afterward. Then I closed my eyes shut, I haven't been sleeping a lot lately. Maybe I'd have to visit my therapist later on.

As soon as I was beginning to drift asleep, a soft knock interrupted me once more and I let out a loud groan.

"Come in!"

Almost at once, Romano walked into the room and closed the door softly behind him.

"What is it?" I groaned, rubbing my eyes tiredly.

"Boss." He said in more like a whisper. "Adriano is here!"

Instantly, I pulled myself to a sitting position with a loud gasp.

Adriano and his sister, Adriana were the spies I planted with my enemy, Ashton Ramos. So whenever either of them came here, that meant trouble was looming. A whole truck of troubles.

My eye shot up to him. "Where is he?"

"He is sitting at the lounge, Boss."

Without further ado, I jolted to my feet and dashed out of my room, with Carmelo following right behind me. "What of Mrs. Andrea?"

"George has taken her shopping, Boss."

I gave him a quick nod and trudged down the flight of stairs. Immediately Adriano saw me, he rose to his feet and bowed a smidgeon. "Greetings, Boss."

"Greetings," I responded, readjusting the hem of my pants. "Please sit."

Adriano plopped on the couch. Then I took a seat across from him. My eyes stared intently at his face as I waited for whatever he was about to say. But I knew, no matter what, it wasn't going to be a piece of good news.

He swallowed hard and heaved a sigh. "Boss, my sister discovered that Ashton is going to attack your shipment coming in tonight."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and hardened my jaw. "What?"

"Yes, Boss." He added quickly. "They are planning to move by 10 pm prompt to intersect the ship and cart away all your merchandise. Then they will burn a little to make it seem like an accident."

"That son of a bitch!" I cussed out loud. Clenching my fist in fury, I rose to my feet to think of the best strategic way to abort their plan.

"Just give me the order, Boss. I will get it done." Romano chipped in.

I stomped my right foot repeatedly on the floor. Then I turned to Adriano. "Thanks for the piece of information. Do you and your sister need anything?" I asked, rubbing my stubble.
