The Mafia (The D'Amore series)

B1C4

When I took over the family business, I was 18 years old. My father had died from lung cancer and left everything to me. Over the years before he died, I would watch how he acted. To his men, they knew whatever my dad said or tell them to do they would respect him and what he decided to do about his enemies.

To his wife, my mother. Well he loved her he never cheated, he would buy her flowers or jewellery  . She never left his side weather it was business or it was founding out about his cancer. When we found out about it my mother immediately got the best doctors for him. He sat through heaps of chemotherapy but at the end it wasn't enough.

But before he died my father was a very cruel, hateful and a downright bastard to those who crossed him wrong. His enemies are my enemies now. This war will never end, someone has to be on top and that happens to be me. And I will remain here till the day I die.

"You think I wouldn't find out, that you were taking my money from me?" I ask as I am sitting in a chair as I take a sip of the amber liquid from my glass.  "Do you really think I am that stupid?"

The guy that I am interrogating was a man that not only stole a lot of fucking money from me, but he was our top dealer, I have many more, but he was our main guy.

"I thought I could trust you Mateo" I say shaking my head.

"Boss... Please. I-I had to do it... It was for my family. M-my mama she's sick." He says begging while coughing up blood. I gave him a few punches between when Alex caught him.

"If you needed help Mateo. You could of came straight to talk to me... And not BETRAY my TRUST" I yell the last bit. "Now, I'll never be able to trust you again."

"Boss! You're going to want to have a look at this!" I hear Alberto run into the room. The basement. I place my glass down before I stood up as he walks over to me handing over a file of paperwork. I open it was documents of bank accounts.

"Who's are they?" Alberto nods over to Mateo. I look back at the documents. "Who's account is it going into?" I ask again as he gave me a look to say its bad news.

Deposited $5000 into account number 612*******

Deposited $5000 into account number 612*******

And it just kept going. 5 pages long of $5000 into that same back account..

"Diego Martinez. Mexico's kingpin." I sighed as I shake my head, I threw the file onto the table next to me. "Mateo, do I look stupid?" I asked him again looking over to him, he was looking at me like a scared lost little puppy, he shakes his head no. I nodded as I smirk, rolling up my sleeves on my shirt walking over to Alex who was standing next to the table full of weapons like a hammer, knives and other torture things.

"Mateo, do you know a man named Diego Martinez?" I look over my shoulder at him and his eyes snap up to him and they were wide. "Thought so" I nod. "You know I don't know why you still have to lie to my face about your poor mama" I pick up a knife walking over to him. "So, Mateo why were you depositing MY money into Diego's account?"

Silence.

"Mateo you know I am a very busy man. So I don't have all day to wait for you to give me an answer. So I am only going to say this one more time. Why were you depositing my FUCKING money into Diego's account."

Nothing but silence again, so I dug the knife into his thigh twisting it, pulling it out and digging it into his other thigh and twisting it again. He screamed. After a few minutes those screams turned into whimpers. I was about to slice open his arm but he started to beg me to stop.

"He-he wants to kill all the D'Amore off the face of the earth.. He came up to me bribing me saying if I-I didn't start paying him he-he would kill my family. He-he also told me that he knew about some girl named Angel... I swear." he says, I turn to Alberto and his snaps his eyes to mine, turning to Mateo.

"Did he say anything about this Angel girl?" I ask.

"Only that she worked at some strip club or night club joint, and now she hasn't returned, and he knew you guys were there the other night. That's all he told me..." he whimpers.

I nodded, I pull on my gun from the back of my pants aiming at Mateo and shoot him in the forehead.

"Alex grab a team and get this cleaned up" I say as he nods, throwing the knife on the table as I grab the file walking up the stairs with Alberto behind me going straight to my office. I fall into my chair running a hand over my face as I groaned.

"Luca. What are we going to do about this guy?" Alberto asks as he closes the door taking a seat in front of my desk.

"I have no idea why he would want anything to do with Angel.."

"We have to do something she-she's my sister" I look over at him as I nod.

"I know. I know. We will get more information about him and we will go from there. But right now I want more men around. I don't want Angel to go out by herself unless I am there. Is that clear?"

he nods once "Yes boss. I'll get cracking on that information about Diego." He says as he gets up to leave but he stops hesitating "When do we tell her about everything?" 

I knew that was coming...

"Not yet.." He nods and carry's on walking out of my office. I sighed as I leaned back in my chair.. I stare at a few photos I had on the desk. Thinking about what happen the other night when Angel and I were in the kitchen alone. All I wanted was to feel those same lips I felt all those years ago.. No one had ever made me feel like I did that day about kissing. It felt like I was on cloud 9, I was floating with her in my arms. I groaned again. She wasn't mine... I had to stop thinking about her like that...
