to capture a heart

danger

Lorenzo Russo

After last night of asking Vivian to the ball, I got an urgent call from my mafia. Even though I stayed with the Fury Mafia, the biggest and strongest mafia in the world, my father got on the same level as the Fury's in years. After he passed he gave me the role of the mafia king to the vipers.

Even though I didn't see my father much, whenever I would it would just be purely him abusing me. Since Vivian had to stay with her parents for the first 7 years of her life I had to stay with my father and mother. My father used to abuse me all the time to the point where I stopped feeling his punches and pain. For 4 years he abused me. from 7 years old to 10. He forced me to become ruthless and fierce even though I was an innocent child.

I never knew why he didn't love me or why my mother would just stare at me grinning wickedly Sure I saw my father a couple of times but I stayed with the Rivers. Father didn't care as long as it got him business plans.

I've known Christian and Adrian since they were babies. I was 2 when they were born. But I'm not sure Christian liked me. It's fine, Adrian was always my favourite but he'll never know that. But only a year after Vivian River came into the world. By then I was 3 years old and the River's took me back. For 7 years I stayed with my parents.

It was on my 11th birthday when my father told me I'd be staying with Mr River again. Then during my 14th birthday, my father called for me to come visit him because he had a surprise for me. I never want to recall my 14th birthday. The day I stopped celebrating birthdays.

"Boss he's unconscious" I made my way to the torture basement which was filled with screams of agony. I opened the door to see a man around the age of 30 tied up, blood dripping down his face as he smiled at me. pathetic. "speak" he chuckled at me shaking his head "Not that easy Lorenzo" I smirked at him as I played with the knife between my fingers "You got a smart mouth huh?" he chuckled again. God does he do nothing but laugh.

"How's your wife and kids?" his smile dropped. easy. "don't take it out on them i am begging you Lorenzo" I walked over closer to him
"So then parla stronza" He started shaking and screaming for help.

I laughed out loud "If you're screaming this loud when I haven't even touched you imagine what I can do with just a slit down your throat? I grabbed a sharper knife "Every question that you don't reply to, that's your finger gone." he gulped and nodded. "Who do you work for" he opened his mouth slowly "For the raptors."

I squeezed my temple "fucking raptors, What did they want?" he kept his mouth closed. I shrugged as I cut a finger.
Blood spilt out fast and an agonising scream erupted from his mouth. "fuck you cagna" he screamed. I chuckled loudly.
"Do you have a fucking answer or are you wasting my time?" he stared at me blankly with tears and sweat running down his face. I got a blowtorch and set him on fire and walked out of the basement only hearing his screams which filled my ears.

I got back to the house to see everyone sat down whilst Christian shouted at everyone in the house. Well fuck what did I miss. I walked in to everyone turning their heads towards me. Christian quickly spoke up "They fucking lost my bracelet."

he looked hurt. I knew exactly what bracelet he was talking about. The one his Nona gave to him before she passed. my jaw tensed and rage filled me seeing Chris hurt. He was my little brother and mini-me I couldn't let him be hurt.
I walked up to Adriano. "Where is it?" He looked shocked I asked him first "I don't fucking have it cagna".

I slightly nodded my head and went to Dahlia. "هل لديك ذلك؟" (Do you have it?) Dahlia's half Saudi Arabian and since nobody here knew Arabic I knew I could try to get the truth out of her through this.
"لا أستطيع أن أصدق أنك تعتقد أنني شرير وتتهمني!
(I can't believe you think I'm that evil and accusing me!)

I nodded at her and looked towards Vivian
She scoffed at me "Look my way Lorenzo I'll fucking take your eyes out and boil them for dinner"
I smirked at her "I was just about to compliment you but never mind" Of course I lied but she just has to be a little more humble.

she looked at me and looked away going red. I looked over at Chris who seemed more upset seeing how shit my interviews have gone. I looked at the vase behind Vivian just to see the bracelet hanging there. I grabbed him and threw it at Chris "Fuck man remind me to get your eyes checked"

Chris grabbed the bracelet and quickly put it on smiling. He sat next to Fizza who shot him a dirty look. "I'm sorry darling, I won't assume it's you again." Fizza beamed at that and kissed him.

Yuck.

I glanced over to Vivian who was fiddling with her fingers and every now and then staring at me. I smirked at her winking which backfired with a scowl from her.

I shook my head laughing and sat down next to Dante who was talking to Dahlia. I could fucking feel their connection and love, was that even possible? I don't even fucking know. All I knew was Dante loved Dahlia but Dahlia wasn't interested.

I mean she seemed a little?
