Son of the Boss

New Girl

A L E S S I O

Fuck! I'm late.

Twenty missed calls already from Beto.

My cousin really knows how to drive me up a wall.

He has been living with us since both of his parents died some years back. I was grateful though to have him so close, especially knowing what a great asset he is to the family.

Though my dad taking him in certainly was not an act of kindness.

He's ruthless and a piece of shit. He only cares about himself.

He is your typical gangster. Mob boss. Don.

All of us were born into this life for a reason and we will die in this life. There will never be a chance at normal.

And once I graduate from school, I will have my shot.

I'll become boss. The don.

I have always wanted to the boss more than anything. I have spent years since the age of thirteen proving myself to this family.

"Ciao" (Translation: Hello)

"Where the fuck are you?" Beto snaps.

"Overslept."

"Well, I'm not waiting all day. I still have Anna and Giovanni with me."

I hang up and grab my cigarettes before heading out the door. I spot my step-siblings standing near the back of the Cadillac with Beto.

Giovanni and Anna are fraternal twins and both a couple of years older than me. They are the product of my father's second marriage.

Anna is a lot like her mother which really makes her a scary person.

Her mother had been known to be a very ruthless and mean woman. She was hateful and not one to fuck with.

She even made my dad scared, even as she died from her cancer.

Anna has always said she would walk in her mother's footsteps. So she decided to travel through Italy for a few years with an alley of ours.

She fell in love and is now engaged to marry a Fubini son by the name of Alonzo. Once they tie the knot, our families will unify together.

This will give us access to a percentage of their ports and profits. In turn, it will strengthen our control of Sicily.

Now aside from Anna's terror, our brother Giovanni is a monster. He stands roughly at six feet and is about 260 pounds of pure muscle.

He is one of my best friends and I rely on him for many things. Especially, his muscle and lack of emotion when it comes to killing others.

Once the time comes, he'll be my second in command.

I walk up to the three of them and we all start to climb into the car together. Looking back at the manor, I can feel the dread build knowing I have months left of my senior year when I could be here fulfilling duties.

We live in one of the wealthiest places up in the hills of California. Our mansion is large enough to provide sanctuary for our family, including several guards and housekeepers.

We top the current 1% of billionaires in the state.

"Took you long enough!" Beto glares and takes my cigarette.

I hand him a lighter. "Get over it."

Out of all of us, Beto is the smallest and youngest.

His signature Oakley sunglasses pushed onto his head to keep his dark hair back. Even with him being the baby of the family, Beto is known for his mind.

He can get us out of any situation and is an absolute mastermind when it comes to technology.

The car pulls away from the driveway and onto the side road. We make our way into the city and to Westview High.
