Kidnapped by the Mafia

Chapter 8

"He's such a big jerk!" I complained to Hank. Crossing my arms and pouting,

"I don't know who told you he was nice." He chuckled. He sighed and had a tired look on his face. "Yep well that's Mr.Antonio Donnelley. All the stories are true by the way." He glanced at me.  

"Yeah I heard about those." I looked sideways out the window, biting my lip. The thing was, was that he is suppose to be the most powerful man ever. He built his empire and earned his power out of his own blood, sweat, and tears. But I honestly doubt that he ever had that kind of emotion to produce tears. It was said that he could kill without blinking an eye and have no remorse afterwards. 

Men trembled at the sound of hearing his name. And women were lined up to get the chance to be his next whore. There's no doubt about that. Antonio was extremely hot. He had the right kind of muscles and the right kind of sexy veins lined on his arms. A face sculpted by the gods. But his meanness clouded everything.

"Is it true that Antonio was born into the life? Like, this was a whole family thing and he also had support from his father? It wasn't only him?" I asked Hank. I heard most mafia's were. 

The reason I knew some things about Antonio was because I spent my whole life with my father, and going with him to his meetings. He stopped taking me with him when I was fourteen and was able to look after myself, and I also has Troy's family to look after me. That's why he's My bestfriend/Brother. I will always look at Troy as family. I never questioned what my dad did for work.

"Of course he didn't do it all on his own." Hank said. "he had to have help from somewhere. But he definitely didn't get help from his father; The whole power and fear thing, I mean. His father introduced him to the life. But Antonio built that all on his own." Hank shrugged like that was the most common thing he has ever said.

"So if his father didn't help boost his credibility, than did he just go around shooting people and making threats?" I was trying to understand how so many people can fear him. It was quite impressive, in a bad way.

I heard a snort come from Hank. "He didn't just go around shooting people. He did that to, but it wasn't just that. He actually killed the most powerful. He threatened Antonio's family and at the age 17 He was transferred to boss of all bosses. Antonio was first in line to his family's line, but since he killed him, he had to take over that line. Do you get what I mean?"

"Um, Yeah. But, I heard that the boss of all bosses is just a myth." So basically Antonio killed the most powerful and got his position.

"It was. At first is was just a name set by the media, to test the power of each Cosa nostra. It was a whole competition thing. Who was the most feared? Who was richer? Who earned the most respect? That sort of thing. But it eventually became a real thing, And the person who earned that title was named Damien Donovan." His eyes showed anger when he said that name. 

"But wouldn't the next in line from Damien's crew get that position Not Antonio when he died?"  

"That was how it was suppose to be. But Damien Donovan; The guy who threatened Antonio's family Actually ended up killing his father and younger sister. So Antonio killed him for revenge. Antonio was only 16 at the time so the only person who could take care of him was his mother, and the rest of his father's Cosa Nostra. Damien's Cosa Nostra decided that since the next in line was to old, they gave the 'position' to him. They let all of Antonio's fathers Cosa Nostra move there too. But Antonio refused and decided he wanted to build everything for himself. he didn't want to have something handed to him. He soon killed everyone in Damien's crew when he had enough power over people. No one messes with family." he looked over at me with a serious look. "No one." Hanks lips were pressed into a line and his eyes held remorse.
