Wicked Games

Promised

• Giovanni's Pov •

I sometimes wonder what she tastes like. To have her pinned beneath me having no choice but to submit to me. I'm a lot of things but a patient man isn't one of them. I will turn my fantasy into reality soon enough. My plan is working accordingly. She will have no choice but to be mine..

Aunna has done beautifully, She's infiltrated Jack faster than I expected, That old bastard was weak enough to throw a diamond away for trash pussy.

I watched Benny boy drive off with her and now is the time to take what is rightfully mine. Just because you die doesn't mean a debt does too. Even Niko hasn't a clue what his father promised before his.. Untimely demise. Not that even he could stop me. I'm the King of the city, fear and murder can get you far in this line of work..

It's been 4 years since Frankie told me I could have Novalie for the right price, A deal a father made that he never dared to tell his family about. He was almost as powerful as me until he went back on his deal.. Instead, handing her off to a wealthy ' Brilliant clean business man ' Jack likes to bump elbows with gangsters, that man was never clean, not that Nova ever knew this about him, Coke and loose women were always his weakness. He doesn't deserve a woman like Novalie and soon the Russo's will learn to not go against me.

SHE'S MINE. I WANT WHAT I WAS PROMISED! It'd be a shame if Frankie's death was in vain. And now to see if Niko will make the same fatal mistake his father made, he doesn't get a choice.. He either gives me what I want or he'll face the same fate as his father. Those are his choices.

It's going on 7, I'm hungry so I order a few pizzas, just waiting on Niko. I feel my phone buzz between my thighs so I set my plate down on the coffee table and check it, hoping it's Niko telling me he's close. It's not. It's that fucking number I almost forgot about.

' Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up.. '

I read the text a few times, I'm annoyed with whoever this is.

' I'm not playing your stupid fucking word games. LEAVE ME ALONE! '

I hit send and call Niko, he doesn't answer. Strange but the thought flees just as quickly as it came. I finish my pizza and hear the building door open, and soon enough heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. This building is a nice little spot. Nothing fancy but not trashy either. Just a place to call home til better.

Niko isn't one to settle, even with mama in his ear begging him to get married and produce a Russo heir, that's not him though. He once had a wonderful girlfriend, Until she learned that a gangsters lifestyle wasn't her cup of tea, packed up and just left one day, not a note or word just gone..

I listen and watch the door, waiting for the inevitable, it finally opens and I see Niko, Benny, Mike and Big Ben.. Why is Ben here..

' Nova they're getting ready to go pack up your shit.. And while they do we need to talk.. It's not good. '

He snaps his fingers and gives the men directions and they're off. Without a question. Niko heads into the kitchen and grabs two glasses and the old faithful whiskey.

I don't know what to think.. But I can tell this is serious..

' Sit '

Niko demands, so I do as I'm told and sit across from him as I watch him fill the glasses before taking a seat.

' What is going on Niko? '

I ask in a demanding tone. Before he answers my loud buzz on the kitchen table distracts the both of us. I watch as he nods letting me know to check my phone. I do.
