"He knew what he was doing. He just didn't care who got hurt. Even if it meant his own child would be used to hurt someone. Revenge was more on his mind, not what was best for his child."

TW: mentions of sexual assault and violence against children

Leonardo DeLuca— a disgusting excuse for a man. To the public eye, Leo was an amazing husband and father.

Everyone knew the DeLuca family as the family who had it all. They had money and power, what more could a man want?

Leo had tricked everyone into believing he was a good man. He had tricked them into believing he was a good husband. And most importantly, he had tricked them into believing he was a great father.

Leo was mentally unstable in many ways than one. At the ripe age of ten, he had gotten into a horrible accident that left serious problems with his brain. And after that accident, he was never the same.

He had been a shadow of his former self. Leo started hunting animals in his backyard and dismembered them. He found joy in seeing them suffer at his hands.

Slowly, he started drifting to petty crimes like stealing and destroying property. And that is how he meant him. Antonio Rossi. A man who reaped death wherever he went.

Antonio had killed his own parents at the age of twelve and has been on the run ever since. Rossi started recruiting other young men who also had similar backgrounds.

Rossi had taken Leo under his wing and made him second in command. After a while, Antonio slowly became a dictator and turned his criminal organization into a cult. He had brainwashed all those poor boys into believing he was the one who saved them and without him, they'd be dead. He made them believe they owed him their life.

But what Rossi didn't know was Leo wasn't loyal to anyone. He didn't give a damn about Rossi's rules and opinions. Leo had a plan of his own and slowly he started whispering in the other boy's ears.

And after he won them all over, he killed Antonio Rossi. Almost immediately, Leo took over and built the most powerful empire in the state of New York.

And by the time the young man had turned eighteen, he had been married to a nice woman who was pregnant with his sons. Leo didn't give a damn about his family but he saw them as a cover.

The police would never suspect a married man with a baby on the way as a mob boss. Everyone knew Leonardo DeLuca as a young and successful businessman who turned his life around for the better.

And when Sergio was old enough to see the flaws his father had he resented him. His entire life he'd watched his father beat and rape his mother. His entire life he watched his father kill innocents. And yet, the younger DeLuca only hated his father because he never showed him any affection.

And as time went on, Sergio morphed into a monster. Sergio became the one person he hated the most. He had become cruel, selfish, and disgustingly evil.

"Come home." Is all the message read. It was a simple message that brought forth so much uncontrollable fear.
