The family wreck

I walk into the club, and instantly, all eyes are on me. You might be wondering why are people staring at me in a club. Well, it is not a regular club. It is the Vipers club, where everyone from the Vipers gang hangs out.

Obviously, I am not one of them, so they are on alert and ready to attack. Everyone stopped talking as a guy stood up and walked towards me. I didn't show any emotion and kept a blank face.

The guy looked at me up and down. "You are in the wrong place," he grumbled.

"I don't think so," I said simply. "Is Carlos here?"

"Why do you need Carlos?" The guy asked.

"Well well, that's between me and Carlos, so go on and tell him that Morana is waiting for him."

Everyone's face paled after my name. Well, what can I say I am famous. I walk over to the bar and tell the bartender to give me a vodka. I then walk over to one of the leather seats and sit down. I slowly sip on my drink as Carlos and the other guy come running in.

"What are you doing here?" Carlos asked, nervousness dripping out of his pores.

"Recollecting a long overdue debt." I swirl the drink in the cup before taking another sip.

"W-why please give me more time-e." He begged nervously.

"But I gave you time already. I gave you 1 year, and you still haven't done what I asked you to do, so now I have to do it myself."

I take out my gun and twirl it in my hand. He immediately kneeled on the ground, begging me to not kill him.

"P-please don't kill me I will get it-" I shot him in the head before he could finish speaking.

"Look what you did! You got blood on my shoes!" I wipe the blood off with a napkin and get up.

"I will let you all live since my deal was only with Carlos." I go to walk out when someone stops me. I turn around with a raised brow, questioning him.

"Umm, according to gang rule, the person who kills the leader becomes the new leader, so now you are our new leader." A guy says.

"Oh, nope. Who is the second in command?" I asked.

He pointed to a guy who was standing near the bar. "He is."

"Ok, then he is now your leader," I said and walked.

I walk over to my bike and drive back to the house. I took a longer route since I wanted to ride my bike a little longer under the night sky.

After a little bit of cruising, I finally decided to come back to the house. All the cars were parked in the driveway, seems like everyone is home.

I walked inside, and everyone looked like they were panicking about something. I looked around trying to figure out what they were panicking about, but in the end, I was still confused.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, getting everyone's attention. They all immediately looked at me and sighed. Like they were relieved. What the heck is going on?

"Where have you been? We were so worried about you?" Lorenzo said, walking over to me and checking me for any injuries. I tried slapping his hand away, but he was persistent until he was sure I was fine.

"So, where were you? You had us thinking that you got kidnapped or something." Emilio questioned after Lorenzo was done checking me.

"I went to see an old friend." I lied. Well, technically it's not a lie since I did go to see Killian earlier today. I guess I could consider him an old friend, he is not an enemy that's for sure.

"You should have let at least one of us know, we were worried," Lorenzo added.

"I told you this morning."

"Yeah, but you were not picking up your phone so we got worried," Roman said.

"Oh. Sorry, my phone died."

"Oh, ok. Let's have dinner. I am hungry." Roman said and walked into the dining room. We sat down, and the maids brought the food out for us.

"Wait! Where is Theo? Is he not eating?" I asked.

"Oh! He was tired, so he already ate and went to bed early." Emilio informed me. I just nodded and started eating.

We all were quietly eating until Emilio broke the silence by clearing his throat.

"I forgot to tell you, the rest of the family are coming over tomorrow." He said, and I nodded.

"Hold on, is everyone coming?" Roman asked.

"Yes, everyone is coming," Lorenzo said dragging out everyone.

I looked at everyone's faces. They had an expression mixed with frustration, boredom, annoyance, happiness, and disgust? All at once.

I ignored their weird faces and went back to eating my food. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day.
