Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 5

Dimitri

Ivan knows how to tick me off, there's a reason I never let him come visit me and he knows, that's why he didn't call that he was coming today, he just showed up while I was in a meeting, Vissarion had to interrupt my meeting to tell me that my cousin is down the basement with my hostage.

I get there and I find him having a chit chat with her, like she's some top tier guest.
I don't like the way she looks at me, like she's innocent which she's not.

I've heard and seen pictures of her from various people, they all talk about two things, she's very young and very beautiful.

Which isn't a total lie, The Best there is in what she does as a woman, one of the sole reasons I hate her, why she's locked up down there.

Personally I don't have a problem with the Italian mafia, ever since taking over as the Don at the age of 18, I have tried to stay clear off any drama, including wars with any other mafia.

But I know I crossed that line having her here, I'm just surprised her so called husband hasn't called yet to demand ransom for her release, according to rumors, she's Enzo's prized possession, his jewel, so why is she still in my basement?

Why hasn't Lorenzo De Luca called me to request the release of his wife yet?
I have had her with me for a month now.

I haven't even done anything to her yet, I've been busy with handling the family that I've not had time to really go have a talk with her, a talk that might most likely end up in me torturing her.

She was actually very easy to capture for my men, for someone so skilled and powerful, I didn't expect them to be able to get her at first trial, I was thinking she'd put up too much of a fight or restraint but nothing.

Since being here, she hasn't tried to escape, not even an attempt, I know she's probably planning something but I'm not going to wait around to find out, that is why I still have her on chains and in the basement.

I'm pacing my study when the door creaks open and Ivan walks in with his hands tucked inside his pants pocket, I shoot him a glare but he doesn't even seemed fazed at all.

"What were you thinking going down there, that too without my permission"? I ask with venom lacing my voice.

"Calm down D, I wasn't plotting against you, I just wanted to see if truly you had the best female assassin of the underworld down in your basement" he said putting up his hands in surrender

"You know better than to go snooping around my business when I'm not around, besides you were told I was in a meeting, why couldn't you wait till I was out"? I grit out to him and he just shrugs

"What's she doing there anyway"? He asks situating himself on the single couch in my study.

"Не твое дело" I snap at him going around to sit on my chair, truly it's none of his business, he chose not to he involved in the mafia and I never forced him to, the least he can do is keep his nose off it.

(Translation: that's none of your business)

"You want to start a war with the Italian mafia"? He asks with a scoff "You want to start trouble with Lorenzo De Luca"? He asks as if it's something I can't do.

"You speak as if it's something I can't handle"? I tell him giving him a lopsided look before going through the stack of papers on my desk.

"But why his wife tho"? He asks with amusement and I just growl out.
