About a week later

I've had the craziest week at work. Between the tech company, the hotel's renovations and my family business, I'm the busiest person you could ever meet. But when time comes and I have to set back, I relax and try to socialise. Which brings me to my presence at my brothers strip club two weeks ago. I'm an ever busy successful 26year old criminal, I have to get laid somehow right?

My family, my father to be exact, runs the famous DeLuca Mafia and I, for one try not to be too much involved. Lucky for us, he is no where near retirement and even when he does retire, I made it clear that I will not take over. But lately his health has taken a drift that none of us expected. So he might retire anytime and hand it over to my little brother. Not that I don't have the heart for it, believe me I do, I'm as ruthless as they get.

Besides my physical appearance, it's one thing that I have of my fathers. People fear me more than my father, and it's funny because I have the most innocent and adorable face. But they have learnt to not let this face fool them, because I am what some people call dangerous. So imagine being a don, imagine what that kind of power would do to me? So I decided to hold on to the little humanity I have in me than lose it all. My brother Rico, who is 23, is set to take over.

I am a computer engineer by profession. I'm so committed to it, I went as far as getting a masters this year. I have my own Tech Company but of course, we have to clean money somehow. So I own a few five star hotels across the world, I help my brother run a few clubs that he owns and of-course and i recently purchased a few penthouses. I decided to venture into real estate because then, I don't have to worry about a thing when my right hand man, Jimmy, manages almost everything.

I slept at my parents house today because my father wasn't feeling too well. It's been happening a lot lately and it has drained my mother physically and emotionally. I know she won't admit that, she is the most amazing woman I have ever seen and that is why she will never admit to wanting help. Which is why, i added a few day maids and a nurse to help take care of dad. I try to stop by everyday and sometimes I sleep over just to make sure she knows I'm there for her.

I didn't get much sleep last night, I had a code to work on and ended up not getting enough sleep.

I need coffee.

I decided to grab a quick shower and pull on dark jeans and a black t-shirt. Not my usual style for a work day but if I'm gonna spend the whole day exhausted, might as-well spend it comfortable right?

"Good morning mio figlio" mom says as I walk into the kitchen with my laptop in hand. (My son)

"Good morning momma" I say giving her a kiss on the cheek. She is short, so I have to almost break my back and neck to be able to kiss her cheek.

"Heading out already?" She asks, her accent thick as they get.

"Yup, I have a few things I need to work on at the office"

"Good morning Capo" my dad says with a big smile on his face. He looks great.

"You need to stop calling me that dad" I say with a chuckle, "sleep alright?"

"Very much so, you know Vincenzo, you are the next big thing" he says.

God, not this again.

"You know, I'd love to sit and chat, but gotta head to the office" I say heading to the door. My dad chuckles because he knows I'm avoiding the conversation.

I get into my matte black Audi R8 and drive off. Deciding to stop by a coffee shop, I walk in and naturally grab a few eyes. The De Lucas are quite famous so I'm not surprised when I see a little fear in their eyes when I look their way.
