The Empire|A.G

Chapter 9

Ariana's PoV

Twirling the gun in between my hands,I stare at the incompetent fools stood in front of me.

"So you just thought it was a good idea to leave him where he was?"I question

"W-We didn't know what you wanted us to do with him,you just left and we couldn't find you"I narrow my eyes.

"Are you fucking stupid? Haven't I always told you to either dispose of the body or bring him back here so I can deal with him myself"I get out of my leather seat with the gun still in my hand.

"I didn't know you were that irresponsible to not know what I expect by now"I walk closer to them and eye them both carefully.

"How do I know you're not working for them, that's why you let him go isn't it?"i point the gun in the middle of his forehead,his eyes attach to the weapon as sweat trickles down his head and his hands shake unsteadily as he keeps them up.

"N-No I'm not, A-Ariana I swear" I stop pushing the gun into his head and stare at him angrily.

"What did you just call me"his eyes widen at the mistake he just brought himself into.

"I-I meant Miss Butera"

"Stop intimidating the boy Ariana and come help me with these" I snap my eyes over towards the person by the door and subconsciously roll my eyes.

For fucks sake.

I place my gun back into my holder and turn around to sit back at my chair "Ariana,are you forgetting something"

I go back over to her and take the papers from her awaiting arms.

"Thank you darling" I smile and put them on top of my desk.

"What are these for mom"I rub my eye and open up the large map she has brought in.

"These are for the beginning of our new era"my eyes furrow with confusion with what she's talking about.

"New era?"

"Yes honey,I'm getting old now so I need to start training you up to be the new official leader of our..."she rolls her hands in a forward motion "organisation as I should say"

"Wait,so what is the map for exactly"

"The inns and outs of all the city,the specialised hideouts and enemy boarders"she points at the red areas she's marked.

"These are the places that aren't under our supervision,objectives are to take down these foes and possibly make them allies or they shall be crushed underneath our empire"

"Miss Butera-"I hear from behind me.

I slowly turn around and scrunch my face up with aggravation "why the fuck are you still in here"I step away from my mother and desk and strut over to him.

I grab him by the neck and pierce my nails into his skin,pulling him over towards the door I harshly throw him out.

"If I find out any relation to marcels body has been found or in anyway had contact with the police,you're going to have a special visit from me" I evilly smile at him.

"Ariana,didn't I tell you to leave that boy alone"

"Mom-"

"Shut up Joan,she handled that situation as perfect as it should have been,since when did you turn into a pussy"my eyes light up when I hear that beautiful voice.

"Nonna!"I run over and envelope her into a big hug "I saw Joan come in here so I thought I'd come to your rescue"I giggle and kiss her cheek.

I hold her hand as we walk up the aisle to get back to where I was originally positioned.
