The world revolves around POWER.
Power brings the money.
Power brings the respect.
Power brings the control.
Power owns the people.

"Venite qui." (Come here). I said to whoever was bold enough to sneak into our bedroom at 3 in the morning.
"Papà-
"Il tuo telefono non funziona Matteo?" (Is your phone not working Matteo?)
"Il mio telefono? Sì, certo che funziona."(My phone? Yes, of course it works)
"Sarebbe stato meglio se mi avessi detto che non era così. Che scusa darai ora a tua madre, visto che prima sembravi troppo occupato per rispondere alle sue chiamate?" (It would have been better if you had told me that this was not the case. What excuse will you give your mother now, since you seemed too busy to answer her calls before?) He just starred at me. "A kid was found dead at your school earlier, you know anything about that?"
"Yeah. He started a fight with Massimo. He was beating him actually, I stepped in and kind of lost my shit. He was still breathing when we left though, I swear."
"What could you possibly be doing wrong for someone to even think that they could try to fight your younger brother?" I asked not expecting a response. "It's your senior year which means you'll be out of the school soon and Massimo will have to fend for himself. If nothing else I hope this sends a clear message that he isn't to be fucked with but if you really want to help your brother, let him fight his own battles sometimes."
"Got it pa."
"Where'd you go after the fight?"
"To cool off."
"That isn't what I asked. You weren't home when your mother went to bed at 12."
"I was at Alexa's place."
"The Russo girl?" He nodded. "She's a good girl, that one. Your mother has become quite acquainted with her mom. I don't think you should get involved with her."
"We're just friends."
"What did you take from our room?" He pulled out a condom from his back pocket.
"Is she in your room?"
"It's not her." Leave one girl's home to bring home another, a true Romano. His mother would have his neck if she heard this.
"Get rid of her." He nodded quickly and left the bathroom in a flash. I couldn't help but to smirk. He grew up fast, they all did.
The next morning, I woke up first leaving Kiara snoring in bed. She must have been extremely tired. After handling my morning hygiene, I went into the gym to find Matteo already breaking a sweat. We trained together for the next thirty minutes until he left to get ready for school. By the time I was done in our home-gym, Matteo bypassed me on the stairs with his bag on his back.
"I need to see you tonight at 7 sharp. Don't be late." He nodded and went into the garage. I heard his motorcycle rev to life and leave the property. At seventeen he's already riding all over the place, much like his mother was in earlier years.
