She was good. The leader of the Russian mafia. Nobody knows her name or what she looks like. I sent my men to a warehouse. She sent their dismembered bodies to my doorstep. If only I could get my hands on her.
The mafia ball is in a few days. I'm hoping she will be there and I can take her down. Today was one of my best guards day off. Dante Bianchi. He has been with my family since he was 16. We practically grew up together. I was only a year older than him.
Getting a plan together will be the most difficult challenge. As I said before nobody knows what she looks like, and no one knows her name.
The door of my office swings open and in steps my idiot brother. "Hey, asshat. What are you doing?" He says as he walks over to my desk and sets his ass on it. I glare at him only to receive a crooked smile.
"What do you want." I ask him coldly.
"Wow, no 'how are you' or 'I've missed you dearest brother'. Well thank you for asking. I'm great I had some great sex last night." He keeps blabbing his fat mouth and i zone out. My mother walks in and rolls her eyes at my brother.
Matteo might be the youngest, but he is a wild card. At most parties he is drunk, and flirting with all the gold digging whores that marry the old mafia men. "Matteo, can you shut your mouth for one second," my mother looks at him with annoyance.
"Sorry, mother, I was just catching up with my dear brother." He beamed at her. I could tell she was fighting a smile. As much as she wanted to be mad at him he was still her adorable little boy.
My mother lets out a little laugh and starts to talk. "Anyways, I need to know who all is going to come to the ball and who is bringing dates from our mafia." God how the hell was I going to know that. "Send out invites to the people that are important and you want to come." She pretty much read my mind and answered me.
"Can you get maybe get Sofia or Maria to do that?" I ask, but already know the answered was going to be no and I needed to be responsible. My mom lets out a deep sigh. "Ok, I will get right on that mom," I gave her a small smile.
She walks out dragging Matteo with her. Peace and quite. Boring. I don't know who I want to come. Dante is pretty much the only person I want to bring. I get my mom to make the list. I'm not lazy I just hate all this paper work.
I pick up my phone and call Dante. "Hello?" He answered after the third ring.
"Hey, are you going to bring anybody the the ball on Saturday?" I ask him. On the phone I hear some shuffling around. I hear a small squeal.
"Dante, hurry up. Im hungry." A woman's voice said on the other side.
"I'm going to bring my wife." Wife? I didn't know he was married. Since when? And how long?
"Your married?" I said extremely confused. He has never talked about being married.
He laughs before talking, "Yea, I need to make her some food before she eats me. Goodnight." I didn't even get the chance to say anything before he hung up. I wonder why he has never spoke of her.
I need to go the store. I want some snacks for when I can't sleep. I walk out of my office and over to my sister's room. "Hey girls do you guys want to come to the store with me?" I ask as I peak my head into their shared room. The room was very big. They both had king size bed, a couch, and a large vanity. They share a walk in closet.
"Sure," Maria answered and Sofia nods her head in agreement. They fight about who was sitting in the front for about 20 minutes. I was in my sweat pants and sweat shirt while walking around the store.
"Hey Maria, come with real quick I need to grab something." Sofia said while grabbing her hand. I was left alone.
"No, we can't get that kind," that voice was very familiar. I turn around and there is Dante with a very beautiful woman. There were some teenagers messing around too. "Andy, I don't like that kind." One of the boys whine.
"Whatever, babe you pick, and Ivan go find something you want. The girls and I are going to be a over there." The woman kissed Dante's check and whispered something in his ear. Dante looked in my direction and waved. He then strolled over leaving the boys behind.
"Hey, how are you?" I ask as he finally gets close enough.
"Good, you?" He looks over his shoulder to check on those boys and they were grabbing different candies and putting them in a basket.
"Fine. Who are the kids?" I ask him. Are they his? He didn't tell me he even had a family.
"Oh, that's my wife's younger brother and her son. She adopted him and one of the girls she took with her. The other girl was her sister." He said like it was nothing. Wow. I had a whole family history in two seconds.
"Dad, does it matter how much we get?" The blonde boy said. That gave me a better of who was who.
"No, grab how ever much you want. Andy is paying anyways." He chuckles after saying the last part. I've never seen him happy like this.
"I'll let you get back to your family. Night," I told him and went to find my sisters. I walk around for a bit before finding them with Dante's wife. "Hey are you guys almost ready?" I ask approaching them.
"Dominic, this is Dante's wife, Andy." Maria is still laughing about something she had said.
"It's nice to finally out a face to the name." She said with a smile. She was really beautiful. "This is my daughter Lucy, and my little sister Natalia." She points to the girls standing beside her talking to Sofia. Andy had a low cut tank top on and sweat pants.
There was a tattoo on her upper right arm. It was very beautiful. It was a large bouquet of roses on fire and some falling down. I wonder what other tattoos she had. Why am I thinking that? I need to stop this.
"It was nice to meet you. I will see you at the ball." I said. We walked away and payed for our stuff.
