AJ Pov~

As I reached the dining room everyone was already there seated and eating. I placed Cata on her seat as she engaged in conversation with Lia and Isabella. I noticed Leo and Marcio in their chairs eating and talking to each other. I walked over to my chair and plopped down grabbing some bacon and eggs. They noticed me and looked over. They nodded at me as a greeting. I nodded back continue to stuff my mouth. We had to go into my fathers office after to go over the plans for today before school. 

"Hey AJ, so since you are the boss for the next couple of days does that mean you won't punish Mr. Fielder?" Ales whispered over to me as she sat across from me. I looked at my twin with a serious look. Ales is a softy, her heart is to big to be apart of the Mafia. 

"Dad put me in charge, that means I am the Mafia boss now. I have to deal with Mr. Fielder whether you like it or not Ales." I said with finality in my voice. She huffed and sagged back in her chair. 

Ma came to join the table, while putting a now dressed and groomed callie on the seat next to Lia. She looked pissed off but that was gone when she saw the chocolate pancakes on her plate. Ma cam to sit in her regular seat at the head. But my dad wasn't there to sit next to her. She winked at me and smiled. I smiled back and looked at my watch realizing we don't have time to waste. 

I looked up at ma and she gave me a knowing look. I grabbed piece of bacona nd grabbed my bag. I got up looking over at Marcio and Leo and they stood up as well. They each gave their mom kisses on their foreheads while I did the same. 

We walked out the room and up stairs to the floor where the office is. We walked in and closed the door behind us. I looked at my fathers chair and pondered sitting in it. I shook my head and decided against it, sitting on the chair opposite the desk instead. 

"No, you sit there. There are only two chairs her for Leo and I." Marcio said pointing to my fathers chair. I looked at it and huffed. "You are the boss so you better accept it and start acting like one Aj." Leo said patting my arm. I gave myself a mental pep talk and got up and sat my butt in my fathers chair. Never have I sat here before, behind this desk. 

The chair was rather soft considering its black sleek design. As I looked around the room I can see why my father chose this spot. You can see everything, every movement, every crevice. Like a Mafia Boss is supposed too. 

Marcio and Leo took a seat on the chairs opposite the desk, Raf and Damien walked in and plopped down on the sofa and looked at me expectantly. "Your late." I deadpanned. "Sorry, won't happen again." Raf spoke with a nod. 

I noticed a black thick book on pops desk that had the words Planner written on it writing. 

Hmm..I didn't think Mafia boss's had planners. I opened the book to today's date and saw a shitload of things to do on a list. So many people to call, I had to organize the guards, and security for the control room, then later tonight I have to verify with each guard if everything was normal for the day. As well as go to a club named Vertigo to meet with the manager Johnny Villa to collect money. 

I looked up and took a deep breathe trying to assign jobs to my four most trusted men. 

"Okay first things first, the guards. I will talk to them personally. Second thing, Raf and Damien you two are in charge of the guards that attend school with us. Make sure they do their jobs efficiently. If you notice anything, deal with it, but let me know. Leo I need you to make sure the security is checked before we leave for school, put Uncle Stefano in charge of the control room for today. Marcio you and I are going to call a few people on this list before school starts. These are the men in charge of the the underground ring and the shipments that came in last night. We have to make sure they dropped the shipments off at the warehouse." I instructed. They nodded "Yes, boss." They said. I smirked, maybe I can get used to this.
