Antonio's POV

I walked in my club greeting my employees as I went up to my office. I sat down and sighed at the pile of paper work I had pending just to remember that I had to call my father picking up my phone dialing his number and called

"Antonio! Are you okay? He's deep voice boomed

" Ciao Padre! ( Hello father)

" Come stai figilio Mio"( How are you my son)

"Sto bene Padre"   ( Am fine ) politely answered

" Your brother told me there's a problem ? He sounds concerned

" Yes Padre, there have been some minor setbacks! You see the Russian cartel just declare war, there have been killing my informants and now they attacked my men during our delivery and killed six "! I barked

" That's not good! Do you know their leader?

" No ,I have one of their men locked up am sure I'll get his info soon"

Son! Don't kill him!

" What do you mean don't kill him, he killed my men ! I roared through the phone

" Listen get the info you need then set up a meeting with the leader of the Russian cartel, ask them what they want from you negotiate on terms that can benefit you both"

" And what if they won't negotiate! You know how the Russians are !

" Then we strategize, but set up a meeting first then get back to me after you talk"

" Fine! I do that" I sighed

" How are you by the way, your mother has been asking for you"

" I'll call her later! And am doing alright thanks for asking"

" Am glad, Antonio I hope after such a long time that we are okay now"!

Yes Padre! We are fine! I assured him

" Well it's the twins birthday next month! He seemed genuinely happy

"Yeah I remembered" I smiled imagining my young sister and brother finally being 18 years old time flies so fast " I'll send them a birthday present say hi to them"

" Sure! Well son get back to me when you talk to them! He sighed

Okay bye Padre" , " bye" he ended the call.

I felt relieved after I spoke to him with all the burden I had inside memories of the tragic night played through my mind. I jolted as the buzz on my phone pulled me out from my thoughts

" Capo abbiamo notizie"! ( Boss we got news) Marco's voice boomed in

" What is it?

"We got a name and address" he says he was not reporting back to the leader directly

" Well go the address, make whoever it is give you the leader's name or number "

Why"?he seemed confused

" Because I want to meet up with him in person! Set up a meeting Marco" I ordered

"Sure, and you have a meeting with Daniel Lee today at his house!

"God I forgot! All about that, thanks for reminding me "

" You want me there"!

" No, I can handle his annoying ass" I need you to do what I told you"

Fine" addio ( bye)

Addio"! I hanged up and leaned forward on my table as I sighed and dived in my paperwork.
