A Forbidden Desire.

I had been thinking about what Damian had proposed. It was a good thing to ally with them, the businesses we could engage in the future with them, and on top of that we could be as powerful as they are. I had called my men and told them about it and I wanted to hear what they had to say.

"The Italians? That would be an added advantage to us. Just the mention of the Italian Mafia brings shivers down my spine." Steven said. He was the leader of the western front, the western side mostly operated with dealing with illegal drugs and it was doing quite well. He had come with his best men.
"Did you hear about the incident they had with the Russians?" Ethan asked. Ethan controlled the easternmost and it operated with smuggling arms. Although that has proved to be difficult, we had managed to get away with it.

I had heard about all that, how the Italians have the power to just control anyone. It's like they are the head of other mobs. Who would not want to be associated with such powerful people?

"The advantages of joining with them, they stared that we would have mutual protection from them, and also when we need guns we could get them from them, and also when we need support or help to conduct certain activities, they would be there to help," I said. The men in the room nodded.

By just having them around us we could learn more about how they operate and who knows, maybe we could overthrow them when the right time comes. I thought that would be a very big achievement, I smirked at that.

"The meeting would be held in two months, by that time I want all of us to be well prepared for anything. Anything could go on in such meetings." I said. "And just to warn you, Damian himself is very dangerous plus he has the most capable and well-trained men so Steven and Ethan prepare your men and I will also prepare mine," I added and dismissed them.

Ethan and Steven had given me the reports of what had been going on in their sides and it was good. I also had Scott, who was helping me in my area to run everything we needed to know about the Italians, the deals they had made in the past, and what they would be doing in the future, well apart from the alliance we were going to form.
I also told him to do more about his family. I knew Damian was married but I just needed to know what was going on in his life, like if they had an heir or heiress to the kingdom, just anything that went on in his life.

During the crime balls that we usually attend every year, the mob bosses would only be there to just show off their wives, their girlfriends, or their sons and daughters and brag about who is the most capable among their children and who can handle and inherit their family businesses. It was an event to show who was the most powerful, and respected, and who had achieved the most.

I had managed to hide my personal life quite well, and I was glad I did. It made me operate my businesses well without worrying about someone harming my family.

I checked my laptop and the information about Damian and his organization was displayed on the screen. Scott had done a good job.
Damian has never been in the spotlight or when he was, the reports would just disappear. He had many people in the government that pulled strings for him. Lawyers, judges, doctors the police and he had also managed to get some of the federal agents to work for him. He was that powerful. I had also tried to put people in the government to work for me but that did not go well, that is why I had decided to part my Mafia organization in three parts, that would be easier to manage and also protecting our backs from the police will be easy. It had worked well and it is.
Damian had made few deals with other Mafias and the money he had been getting was a lot, that is why he was able to provide for his people and also get them the best arms. His organization was going on well, to say the least, I mean nobody would dare to mess with him anyway. The records I had of people trying to betray me were so long. But Damian managed to keep his short, I wondered what he did with the traitors, but I will soon find that out. I was going to use this opportunity to gather as much information about how he does his work and also how his men were trained to just stay loyal to him.

I closed my laptop after going through every piece of information. I did a few paper works before leaving my office and going to my favorite flower shop. The shop had the best and the most beautiful flowers, just what I needed.
