Strawberry & Cigarettes

Chapter 47 - Velvet Vibe Pub

D'Angelos POV -

Killing Kai was the biggest move I've done. The vipers nor Los Sangre knows it was me specifically who killed both the men. Juan is trying to find out and gave me that task. It's fucking funny because I'm the one who killed both of them.

Juan doesn't give a fuck if they're dead he just wants answers just in case someone kills him too. He's a pussy. But my orders from headquarters are to stay low now. The president doesn't know there was a 'girl' involved.

To be more clear, a 'Muslim Girl' the kind to fuck with your damn feelings and crash them down. I didn't want to fucking like her but she captured me in her plan. She was working with him and I was fucking blind to notice.

I take my cigarette box out of my pocket and take the last one I had left. I lit up the last stick and threw the box away. I inhale the toxic substance and blew the smoke out. I'm at the club that Los Sangres meet every other night to discuss plans and get drinks. It's their 'spot'

The place is called 'Velvet Vibe Pub' this is where most gangs would meet up. The place is in a dangerous neighborhood. There's some apartments a block or two away but the surrounding areas are unsafe and not somewhere children or anyone would want to grow up in.

The gang had an important meeting to talk about the death of Kai and I'm supposed to give Jain an answer today. I'm late though. I walked inside the pub, it's busy today. I walked towards the vip stairs and they let me through without hesitation— before I even reached them. I walked upstairs to the lounge Juan and his men were.

I moved the curtains and step inside. All eyes laid on me and I stood in my form staring at him with a blank expression but it clearly showed business.

"Good. My good boy Santino is here. Tell us Santino what happened. Am I in danger?" Boy thinks my name is Santino. Obviously that's my disguise cover name. They don't know that.

"Sir, Kai Morello had taken the red file which consumed all the plans and drugs of the business. That file was handed to Faunzo who worked for you but rather betrayed you and worked with Kai. The Vipers claimed they know nothing of both murders and were dealing with the new package from the docks. Their alibi checks out. Kai made a copy of the red file and kept the real copy and handed the other file to Faunzo in which he knew it was fake and shot Kai to death. Fuanzo then shot himself right after the deed was done."

"Viper claimed he'd kill Faunzo if anything happened to Kai, their most trusted worker. That frightened the young boy so he shot himself before the pain would hit him. There were no witnesses just Faunzo's handprints on the guns."

The story made sense to any dumb lunatic like him. He sat In front of me in the dark red lounge chairs his eyes on me but his mind somewhere else. The fuck is wrong with him now? Diarrhea? His eyes left mine and out the opened curtains looking down below from the distance. His legs crossed and he was biting his lips.

"Hm." He said not even paying attention to anything the fuck I said. I turned my head where he was looking and I glanced around down below to see who caught his attention already. Fuck.

The only woman serving drinks with a dark color scarf and a dark emerald green dress that Hugh's her body in the right places. Ugly, that's what I told my self but inside I knew how beautiful she is.

My head turned to Jaun with a jaw clenched. Why the fuck is she here.

I haven't seen her in a week or more and I'm seeing her here in a pub while a gang leader eyes her like candy. And I know where all his candy go, on a land full of other dead blind women. Fucking idiots.

She's one.

It took everything in me to not snatch my gun out and kill her first then kill Jaun right after. "You're good Santino...my eyes can't leave the beautiful toy below. Order another drink. Bring her up here to daddy."

Toy? Beautiful?? Fucking daddy?

I could already see red. My face remained calm and my actions follows. I fucking despise this woman. No man needs her.

Ever

"Yes sir." One of the men ordered 2 Cherry Bourbon Cheerwine, Blue Curaçao, and La sangría. Hearing Cherry bourbon made my mouth slight watery. I'll order after

I stood in my spot with a cigarette between my lips. After awhile the curtains open and the sight made me want to break her. She stood so innocently with her eyes laid down. Her nose was red and I can see a strand of hair sticking from her...scarf?

She didn't glance at me once but I made sure she can tell I'm here: and whether she likes or not I'm going to put that bullet in her head because she played games. It was hot but harm came towards my sister and that's what pisses me off. She fucking lied. I have to kill her anyways, she knows about my job and that's what matters most.

Who fucking cares if I liked her a little. If I can get used to my parents leaving then I can get used to this bullshit. She's just a religious— religious sounds like a bad word for her. She's a woman who worked with Kai and even fucking dated him.

I don't fucking care.

She stood in front of Juan who spread himself on the long couch. "Come mi cariño." He gestured her to sit next to him. She gave him a confused look and stepped a little back. "N-no.." her voice was cracked and her eyes were red when she looked up.

Was she crying?
