Blood War (The Don Sequel)

Dario

It's barely been three days since Kiara's return but I'm surprised that I've restrained myself for this long. I haven't had my fill of my wife in too long. Seeing her flaunt her body is driving me insane. She isn't even naked but my dick is rock hard.
"I can feel you starring."
"Am I not allowed to watch what's mine?" She sighed in response.
"I am going to a meeting this morning. You are to stay here."
"I guess I'm back to being a prisoner then huh?" She retorted.
"It is for your own safety."
"What does that mean? Is someone trying to kill me?"
"Someone will always try to kill you Kiara, you are my wife." I deadpanned.
"You know exactly what I mean Dario. Why must I be trapped here?"
"Being that you were away from our son for as long as you were, is it really a punishment to be confined to these walls? To spend quality time with Matteo?" I asked.
"I didn't say-
"No but I asked you a question."
"You know the answer Dario, of course I would love to spend time with my son. I've missed out on so much already."
"Then this should be the perfect way to start. If you need anything—in case of an emergency that is, have Lorenzo contact me. He will be staying here with you."
"He is suddenly back to being my bodyguard then? I thought he was Ayana and Kiana's personal security in our absence."
"That was in our absence, as you said. He is back to his rightful post now. You can be at ease, Kiana has already been assigned new security detail."
"O-okay." She left the room and I took the time to finish getting dressed before meeting my men downstairs. Marcellous was already on his way so I hopped in the vehicle and we left for the location.

"Fammi capire bene... il tuo presunto fratello gemello "morto", di cui nessuno conosceva l'esistenza, è il motivo dei nostri problemi e la causa della tua scomparsa?"
(Let me get this straight--your supposed "dead" twin brother, whose existence no one knew about, is the reason for our problems and the cause of your disappearance?)
"Chi è e perché non c'è traccia tecnologica o biologica di lui da nessuna parte? Quell'uomo è come un fantasma e perché non ti ha semplicemente ucciso? Perché uccidere i suoi uomini e tenerla prigioniera per più di un anno e poi venire da lei con una fottuta proposta dopo la sua fuga?"
(Who is he and why is there no technological or biological trace of him anywhere? The man is like a ghost and why didn't he just kill you? Why kill your men and hold you captive for a year and then come to you with a fucking proposal after your escape?)
I knew the questions would come but unfortunately I have no direct answers to any of them.
"No one knows Mario's motive or why he is calling himself a Moretti now. We also don't know how he survived the fire or the shootout that our father carried out years ago." Marcel spoke up.
"What we do know is that he is working with the Black Widow and has aligned himself with the bratva boss Stefano in order to take over-
"Let me guess they want to wipe us out and have the largest and most powerful mafia, typically expected. Don't they know that nothing could break the Romano mafia." Leonardo said cutting me off.
"Interrompimi ancora e perderai la lingua." (Interrupt me again and you will lose your tongue.) I warned. He nodded silently in understanding.
"That was his plan until he offered a  proposal for me to join him. In exchange we would not only rule together but he would get Kiara back for me. According to him he has her location." I said the last part smirking at Marcellous because we were the only two in the room who knew that my wife was back home. Mario either told a bold lie or thought he could actually retrieve Kiara which would mean he had a lead on her whereabouts which could mean that he was behind the car crash in England that Damon luckily saved her from. I couldn't question him on that for obvious reasons. Mario may not have grown up with us but if his mind works anything like it did when we were kids or if the Morrettis had any hand in raising him then he is more devious than he is letting on which means that he has something up his sleeve. I can't say what that is but I know he cannot be trusted. I did not inform him that Kiara was home but I did decline his offer. His ridiculous idea of an alliance between us was laughable. For me to give up my rank as Don to the Romano mafia to work alongside a man I barely know and two people who want me dead, all for the sake of getting my wife back and ruling the underworld is preposterous. With me at his side he would have access to more power, our alliance would act like a trick of persuasion. There are many men who would follow me blindly and that is what Mario is counting on that much he admitted at least. I would never turn my back on the family though not even for another blood relative. If Mario wanted an enemy out of me he got it but I will never be manipulated not even by a long-lost twin. We're on two different sides of the field naturally that means we will cross at the middle when the time comes but we will be more than ready to take him on and whatever army he rallies behind him.
