Mi Amore

Chapter 14-Grayson

I groan hearing my alarm at 05:00am in my ear.I turn over and switch it off.I sigh and sit up.I walk to my bathroom and shower.I wear my classic three piece suit and walk downstairs.I pick up my phone and call my dearest cousin Bartholomew.He has a weird name but I never realized it."Hello?"He answers, snapping me out of my thoughts."Bonjour  answer."Ah,Chef parle encore,"he says."Je viens chez toi aujour'hui Bartholomew,"I say."D'accord,"he breathes.I hang up and turn to the servant serving me.I nod and eat breakfast

Once I am done with breakfast I walk to my garage to see my black Dodge Challenger Hellcat.I get in and start the car listening to the loud roar of the engine.I speed to Bartholomews apartment and park the car.I walk up the stairs to his apartment and knock on the door."Enter Grayson,"he calls out.I open the door and see him in front of a full monitor with blue light glasses and headphones.Did I mention Bartholomew is the head of tech for the whole Mafia?"Why hello there, Bartholomew"I greet leaning against the door frame."Hello Grayson"He says not ever looking away from the screen of his monitor."Need help with anything?"He asks."Yes, actually."I say."I need you to hack into club Yolandas cameras."I say."Anything specific?"He asks,looking in my direction."No,just the footage Bartholomew"I answer."It will be done by 18:00pm or earlier"He says looking at his monitor again typing."I'll leave you to it,au revoir"I say closing his apartment door.Bartholomews apartment is well kept and clean.The man is atleast decent.

I get to the parking lot and see my matte black car.Classic.I get in and start the car speeding to the Mafia Mansion.Once I get there I see Sergio pale."Go home Sergio"I say walking past him."Oui Chef"He says,leaving the mansion.I decide to orangise a meeting with an old friend.I walk to my secretary, Thiago."Orangise a meeting with Xander."I order him.He nods and picks up the phone.I turn around and walk up to my office.I get to my office and open the window.I sit down  and open a box of cigarettes and take one out.I light my cigarette and smoke it thinking about my next ambush.Thigo walks in my office with a puzzled look."Chef,Xander is unfortunately deceased.I have his secretary on line two.".Thigo turns and leaves.Leaving me to think who would do this.I pick up the phone and tune it to line two.

"Mr Da La Renta.I was expecting your call about Mr Xander."Xanders secretary skewky voice says through the phone."What is the cause of death?"I ask."I have been sworn to secrecy"She replys."Okay.Farewell."I say hanging up the call.I begin to wonder who would do such a thing.I ignore the feeling and pull out my glasses.I begin to work through payments and crates.

I look at my watch, feeling exhausted.Its 21:00pm.I sigh remembering that my house is two hours away but...hers is half an hour away.I pick up my phone and keys and take off my glasses.I walk out the Mafia Mansion to my car and speed home too exhausted to see Anastasia.

Once I get home, I see two maids cleaning the kitchen."Go home, ladies,"I demand."Oui Chef,"they say, leaving.I walk up to my room and wear some gray joggers.I get in bed and let go.
