Mafia Love

Chapter 1

  It was 6:00am and I was woken up by some loud knocks on my bedroom door. Whoever that was I swear to god I am going to kill them. I didn't like being interrupted, especially if it was my sleep we're talking about. However, I couldn't really complain because this was my life as Angelo Romano, the leader of the Italian Mafia. To be specific I ran L' Angelo Peccatore. So, my day mostly consisted of waking up early and doing my usual work. Since I'm the leader all of my men rely on me. At times it can be overwhelming, but I've managed to live with it. The knocking grew louder and I groaned.

"Who is it?"

"It's Francesco, sir. May I come in?"

"Yes." I started to get up from my bed.

Francesco came into the room and closed the door behind him. "Good morning Angelo. How did you sleep?"

Francesco is my consligere. I've known him since we were babies. He is my closest friend, or I guess you would say my best friend. He is a loyal friend and always has my back. I know I can count on him for anyway. Not only that, but he knows I'll do the same for him. That's just how we are.

"I slept good. How did you sleep?"

"Good. How about you?"

"I've slept better. Anyways, is something wrong? Why are you in my room so early? It has to be something big, yes?"

"Angelo the Flores cartel are willing to make business with us. This is what we've been waiting for. Mr Flores wants to have lunch with today to discuss business. He wants to meet with you at his house."

This is big. I've been wanting to make business because for one they are a really successful cartel, and second I've been wanting to expand my business to other families and to make alliances no matter where there from. You know what they say the more the merrier! I was not going to pass up this opportunity.

"Good. Cancel my plans for lunch today and set up that meeting. Oh and also remind me of the people I need to kill today, please."

"Got it. And the people are Jeremiah, Luis, and Ashley."

"Ashely? Why her? She's just one of the whores." I was kind of surprised I had to kill her.

"Because A) she disrespected you in front of your men yesterday B) she told your mom about your alcohol problem and C) the last time she gave you head she used her teeth and you don't like that." Francesco said all of this in a bored tone.

"How come I did not remember that?"

"Because of your alcohol problem," he said deadpanned.

Now it's all making sense. I will admit I do have an alcohol problem. I don't want to have one but alcohol is the only way I get to escape reality. Plus, I don't even know what the big deal is. It's my body I can do whatever I want with it. People need to know when to shut the fuck up.

"Whatever that doesn't matter. Thank you Francesco. Now, is anything new with you?"

"No, not really. I might end up asking out Elena this week."

"That's good. You deserve a special someone in your life."

"Thanks. You know, you deserve one too. I mean I know everything we do is illegal but if you dig really really really deep down you're not so much of a bad guy."

"Francesco you know I gave up on the idea of love a long time ago. I mean why the fuck do I want to spend the rest of my life tied down to someone who I know is either with me for my money or to betray me?" I was quite confused when he mentioned that I should find someone.

"You know not every girl is Aria. Look bro I've known you for a long time. You are my best friend almost like my brother and I want you to be happy. Hey, I will even set you up on blind dates so that I can have a little nephew," we chuckled when he said that. "Look I just want you to be happy."

"Don't worry bro I am. Now let me get dressed we have an important meeting. Also never bring that bitch Aria up again."

After Francesco left I took a quick shower and dressed up in my normal suit. I looked pretty hot when I looked myself over on the mirror if I do say so myself. But that was not the point today. I walked out of my room and emerged myself into my office. I need to look over the file I had on Mr. Flores. The file basically informed me of his whole life. However, one piece of information I guess I had looked was the fact that he had a daughter. Oh well, it doesn't matter I'm only making business with Mr. Flores not her. Plus, I had no information on her. I didn't even have her name. She's probably only ten years old because Mr. Flores was only 36. Either way it doesn't matter I'm just trying to strike a deal.

***********************

It was 12pm and my lunch with Mr. Flores was in 30 minutes. I was rushing to the door when one of my men, Will came to me. He is a good friend of my mine, but  he's not as close as Francesco is. It looked like he had something to tell me.

"Hey boss I wanted to let you know that somebody else will also be meeting with at the lunch today besides Francesco and Flores."

"Oh really who?"

"The daughter of Mr. Flores. Insider scoop says he's trying to teach her about the business because she is his only child. Kind of weird if you ask me. I mean she's just a girl. People that are close to Flores say that he doesn't care about gender and he believes in equality for boys and girls. If you ask me I think it should go towards a man, but that's just my opinion."

I could see where Will was coming from. The cartel was a man dominated business as well as the mafia. I just thought it was weird that he was teaching her at such a young age, I mean 10 years old is pretty young. But then I remembered that my father taught me all the ways to the mafia since the day I basically knew how to say "mama".

"Oh well it doesn't matter. Francesco is waiting for me in the car, I'll see you later. Arrivederci."

"Hey what took you so long," Francesco wondered.

"Oh nothing. Will was just saying that there will be another guest joining us."

"Great. Who is it."

" The daughter. It's a little weird since she is a girl."

"Yeah I guess but let's not worry about that. Let's get this deal in the bag."

"You know Francesco I like your mentality," I said to him.

"Thanks man. Now, shut the fuck up and let me sleep," he adjusted himself in the car putting his legs up on my lap. "Wake me up when we get there." Then he dozed off. I was wondering if I should push his legs off of me, but decided against it since he's probably tired and works hard. I then relaxed in my seat and enjoyed the ride. I just hope the meeting goes well. I'm not gonna lie I did feel like something was going to happen today.

As if I was in store for something amazing.
