Antonio's POV
Sitting quietly in my chair with a round table Infront of us Marco on my right and Valerio on my left we sat waiting for the Russians to arrive. My long fingers drumming on the table as I glanced at my watch to look at the time
" What's taking them so damn long"!I bark just before the door to my meeting room opened and a tall man in his late thirties entered escorted by his three men
" Pardon me for being late! He announced while he took a sit facing me
" Dobroye utro! ( Good morning) I chimmed in
" Well you speak Russian very well I see" he chuckled
" Do you know who I am?
" Who doesn't! your reputation is quite intriguing Antonio Rouhas!
" It's good that you know me! But I don't maybe you should introduce yourself
" My name is Alexander Tsar Nicholas I lead the the Russian Bratva(mafia)! He stated confidently
" What do you want? I asked straight forward
" Am here to do business off course!
" Does your business include starting a war with me! I watched as he tense at my words he turns to look at his men then back at me
" I don't know what your talking about! He says I clench my jaw and tight my fist to control my emotions I turned to Marco who looked like he wanted to jump on him at anytime
" You don't know what am talking about huh!? Marco please elaborate for him" he instantly stood up and moved to his side handing him a piece of paper
" That note was brought to us three weeks ago, with one of our men dead, yesterday we were ambushed by one of your men during our delivery"! Marco roared
" We confirmed your Bratva is behind it because we have the hitman you hired" Valerio went on
" Mr Alexander you still don't know what am talking about"! My voice hushed I watched as the worry look in his face crept slowly he turned to one of his man o watched as the worry glances they set upon them
" You and your people are going to pack up and get out of this city , trust me you do not want to start a war with me"! I barked and walked to the door
" Wait! Am sure this is all a misunderstanding! My right hand might have misled me, but I have good intentions Mr Rouhas!
I turned abruptly with a smirk on my face " so what your telling me is that your right hand is behind all the killings and attacks on my business"!
I watched as his panic face set in right before he sighed and gave in " yes! I hope you understand let's start a fresh!
I glanced at Valerio then to Marco " okay but before that am going to avenge the death of my men"
" What do you mean"? He nervously chuckled
" Am going to kill him ! Refuse and you leave my city!
" But Mr Rouhas is that really necessary!?
" Yes! Blood for blood, I don't know how your Bratva is but my mafia is my family and I take care of my family! So what is it going to be "?
I stood outside with my men around as I stared back at the man who is supposedly Alexander's right hand man he was tied up and he knelt down. I let my men rough him up alittle
" Send them away Antonio I don't trust him! Marco suggests as he stood beside me
" I don't either, a man who can easily give up his right hand is a coward"
" Then send his stupid ass back home"!
" Have you heard of a saying put your enemies close, I want him here so I can be able to monitor him"!
" So you your going to share New York with him"
" Not entirely! I said just as Valerio brought me my gun
" It's time! He says with a smile on his face
I walked at the centre where the man who I just found out his name was Thomas kneeling Infront of me I turned at Alexander and looked straight in his eyes right before I pulled the trigger and three bullets went through his heart. His body dropped in a pile of blood. Silence settled in as I watched at his lifeless body then cheers from my men roared loudly as my gaze caught the Russian men who were with Alexander throwing daggers at me. I smiled and walked to where he was standing
" Now, you can do business in New York!
" Am glad we can work together!
" Who said we are, you will be delivering my products to Russia and I'll give you quarter of NY do not cross your lane"!
" But I thought...-
" You thought after you humbly gave up your right hand for sacrifice you what, want a sit at my table! I chuckled at the thought
" A quarter won't profit me-
" Then gain my trust! Then maybe I'll give you more, Marco will give you the paperwork for you to sign I'll see you soon it was a pleasure to meet you Alexander Tsar"!
With that I walked away leaving Marco to take care of things. I walked to the car and got in while Rico and Tyler got in and we drove off
" Tyler call Maryjane and tell her to prepare me something eat!
" Si Capo!
I felt bad with the harsh attitude towards her I don't know why I did that to her today, seeing her with Valerio triggered something in me I don't-
" Capo, Mrs Tan just informed me that Maryjane is not at penthouse!
" Why not"!
" Apparently she got a call from the hospital informing her that her mother is admitted in St Anne
" What! Why what happened to her?
" I don't know Capo!
Fine take me there!
