Marco's pov

After learning that my best friend, Sofia, was pregnant with the baby of my other best friend, this warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but feel grateful that she chose to embrace the joy of bringing a new life into the world.

As I made my way to the warehouse, I couldn't help but smile thinking about David's reaction when he knew this too.

I got into my office and settled into my chair, the weight of my responsibilities pressing down on my shoulders. The room, adorned with subtle signs of my authority, was my sanctuary, the place where I strategized, planned, and executed the decisions that kept our mafia running smoothly.

I started by checking the weapons deal that was in progress, ensuring that everything was going smoothly and according to plan. It was a crucial task, as any mishap could have serious consequences.

Next, I turned my attention to the file about the Catalyst's mafia. This notorious group has been causing chaos and destruction in our city for far too long.

Their influence spread like a malignant disease, threatening the very core of our operations. It was up to me to put an end to their reign of terror once and for all.

The file contained valuable information that could help me devise a strategy to dismantle their operations and ensure the safety of our community.

Just as I was fully engrossed in my task, a notification popped up on my phone. It was a message from my accountant, inquiring about a substantial transaction.

Confusion washed over me as I tried to recall making such a payment. Doubt crept in, and I quickly accessed my account to verify the information. To my surprise, I discovered a transaction of $5000 had indeed been made.

Questions raced through my mind as I pondered the origin of this transaction. Was it a mistake, or had someone gained unauthorized access to my account?

Determined to get to the bottom of it, I called Pedro," Come to my office!" I commanded, my tone firm and unyielding.

Without waiting for his response, I hung up and checked to whom the money was sent.

Moments later, my cousin entered the room. " Are you busy, Marco?"

" Even if I am, get in Vincent." I gestured for him to sit.

" My man saw something in the first fight with the Catalyst. I want to share it."

" What is it?"

" Celestia caught Caleb but she didn't kill him, she let him go free."

" Is your man sure?"

" Yes he is."

" What's Caleb planning now?" I ran my hand through my hair.

" I don't know Bro."

Pedro knocked on the door and I gave him permission to enter. He walked slowly, cautiously. " Sir?" He stopped in front of me, waiting for further instructions.

" I just received a notification about an unauthorized transaction of $5000 from our account to a casino called Fate Santa. I need you to find out who made this transaction and why."

" Understood, Sir. I'll get on with it right away."

" Wait! You too?" Vincent said startled.

" What do you mean?" I asked.

" I woke up this morning with the same problem. I had a similar transaction to Fate Santa Casino, the same amount."

My jaw clenched in frustration. This can't be a coincidence. Someone is sending us a message, but I won't tolerate threats to our family or our empire.
