BEHIND THE MASK

Encounter

Killian's pov

*Earlier today*

"Boss the shipping just arrived and our men are busy taking care of it as you instructed"Matteo muttered as he enters my office.

Matteo Bennett he is my best friend and right hand man. We have been friends since we where young and his father and my father where friend before my father passed away 3 years ago. I had to step up and take his business and empire 'the Italian mafia' that he built from the ground up.

My father was the most feared man in all of Italy and had allies in Greece, Germany,USA , Spain and France.

I had to learn the way of the Mafia Wich was :

Vincere aut mori
-conquer or die-

Scientia est potentia
-we are all sinners-

Ones sumus peccatores
-knowledge is power-

Fides est periculosa ludum
-trust is a dangerous game-

Odio et metus dabo tibi potestatem
-hatred and fear give you power-

Omni luci est umbra
-there is a shadow to every light-

These are the rules of the Mafia that my dad lived by and I was going to do the same.

"Thank you Matteo.....have you heard anything about the skeleton mafia yet I don't want them interfering with my business"I muttered to Matteo.

The skeleton was a new mafia organization that was way beneath us but was constantly trying to steal my shippings.

"I've heard nothing so far and our shipping arrived safely to the warehouse"he was very good at his job and even though I was his boss out of work we talked casually to each other.

"Arrange a car for me I need to go to the warehouse"my husky voice filled the room I was very tired and needed rest I haven't been sleeping since I was expecting one of our biggest shipment but now that it has arrived I can finally rest.

"Yes boss.......uhh Killian tomorrow is my girlfriend's birthday and I am planning on proposing to her there....I would really appreciate it if you can come it would mean a lot to me" he finished then heard out without waiting for a response,but I knew that he already knew the answer he is after all my best friend.

After receiving a call that my driver was outside I heard to the elevator which will take me to the parking lot where I got into to car and head off to the warehouse.

It took exactly and hour for me to reach the warehouse since it was located in the forest outside of  town. It was a very secure location and no ordinary person should be able to find it. The forest was filled with hidden cameras and sensors for any intruders.

"Boss"my men nodded and I gave them a firm nod, respect goes both ways in my mafia.

I stepped out of the darkness and into the dimly lit warehouse, a thrill of excitement coursing through my veins. This was my domain, my kingdom, and I loved every minute of it.
