Rise & Fall Of A Don

Chapter17

Tommy Pov

Six Months Later

Scarlett rubbed her stomach. "I'm so happy, Tommy."

I smiled down at her and kissed her on the forehead. We were at my gallery. I found another rare piece and a large coin collection. What is with these people and coins, I'll never know.

She was 5 months pregnant and she was glowing. She was so happy that it was contagious.

Narration: I really shouldn't have let my feelings show that night. I found out that in our business there was no such thing as a love match. It was only power matches and that was it. Because if you showed love. It could be taken from you. Apparently, I pissed off the wrong people and they wanted to teach me a lesson.

We just found out we were having a boy. We haven't picked a name yet but I've already decided I will name him and she'll just go along with what I pick. I was going to google male Greek names and pick out a good strong warrior name. He will be strong. He will be fearless.

I saw she was getting tired. Her feet were swelling a little. I signaled for Mike. "Can you take my wife home? Then come back. I have a job for you."

He nodded.

"But Tommy, I want to stay with you. I can still speak with everyone. I can do it."

"What did I say? You think just because you're pregnant I won't get on your ass."

Fear made its way to her face. "No, of course not, Tommy. I just wanted to help. That's all. I'll leave if you want me to." She raised up on her tip toes and kissed me on the cheek. She grabbed my hand and looked into my face.

I rubbed her cheek. I leaned down and kissed her deeply. "Go and let my baby rest."

"Ok, I'll see you later."

She walked out with Mike.

Soon after Tobais started the bidding on the coin collection. One thing about coins, they are very lucrative. There is always one missing from a rich man's collection. It's always a collection to be had. I smiled as the bidding reached 3 million.

Tobias is a born showman. Nan did talk shit about him leaving the crew because he didn't want to shoot and kill people or be thuggin in the streets. He found something he loves doing. And I knew if it came down to it he would. Tobias' job is actually more dangerous. I deal with hardened criminals. It's not easy getting and housing rare pieces. Tobias has had to kill to protect himself and my rare pieces from thieves.

He moved on to a painting. My painting. But the crowd had questions as usual. "Who is this painter? Why does he wish to remain anonymous?"

"I'll pay 500 thousand for his identity." I raised a brow. These people are cocky. I just stood back and chuckled as they fired off questions back to back. But Tobias doesn't even know who's painting it is so he can't tell them anything.

Tobais says, "people please, settle down. He or she will show in due time, but does it really matter. He or she is definitely talented. Look at the brush strokes. Look at all the detailed intricate shapes. Shapes that form a beautiful face. Just look at it."

I raised my brow in surprise. Tobais really does know his shit. The face is definitely hard to see with the other geometric shapes.

My phone beeped. It's my handler. Where the hell is Mike? He was supposed to have been back a long time ago from that errand with Scarlett.

My phone beeped again. The silent alarm was just tripped at my house. I don't like loud alarms. They will alert the alarm company then the police. I want to catch whoever it is so I can deal with them personally.
