"Leo." I answered as soon as I picked up the phone. "Any good news for me?"

"We just saw Demario entering a bar. Franco and the others are already tailing him." He said in our mother tongue.

"Good. Update me if you caught him."

"Of course." He paused before continuing. "We've gone past the borders, Angelo. We've gone too far. Demario is always moving. He must've thought his strategy would work on us."

"I guess you'll be taking care of him then. I'm heading towards Stefano's office right now. As much as I want to behead that puttana."

"It's better if I do this myself, fratello. No one must see your face, especially now that you're not in Italy."

I chuckled. "You always have my back, mio fratello."

He returned a chuckle. "Sempre. I gotta go. Send my regards to Stefano for me."

"Of course. You do what you do best, Leo. Don't hold back." I reminded him sternly.

"Not for this bastard, Angelo. I'll make sure I go back with the stolen money and his head." We then hung up. It was at the same time when I reached the Ranallo building. It was one of the tallest structures all over New York.

After parking the car, I walked towards the entrance at a relaxed pace. I trust that my right hand and my best man would take care of Demario for me. That's minus one among many problems I have.

Driven by rage and impulsivity, I flew here right away when my sources reported that Alfonso will attend a charity event. Coincidentally, my cousin-in-law's charity event. His partner, Demario, was lucky enough to hear news about my visit. He fucking had the chance to flee. Although I came here without Leo, he immediately followed me here and suggested that he take over the search. With no second thoughts, I let him.

Leo and I are not related by blood but we treat each other as brothers. We didn't grow up together like those normal childhood friends but we did train together. The occasional nods and meetings made us very close. He's my best friend even if we don't often show it because we always respected our ranks. He knows that I value our friendship and brotherhood and that there's no need for it to elaborate with words.

That's why I was more than happy that he followed me here. He drags my common sense back when I tend to lose it. If a girl happened to witness my murdering someone, I don't know if it won't happen again. I was fortunate enough that she's Avery's friend. I could say we were both lucky since that sassy painter is under my cousin's protection.

"Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me!"

My cousin's secretary finally screamed at me as I continued to ignore her.

"Excuse me, sir." I looked down at the woman who suddenly blocked my way. She was panting, probably running to stop me from going further to her boss' office. "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Ranallo today, sir? Correct me if I'm wrong but I was not aware of any meeting today."

I sighed. "No worries, ragazza. I'm just visiting my cousin. I'm sure he'd be happy to see his family."

"Oh. My apologies. Let me inform him of your arrival. May I know your name, sir?"

I grinned. "Tell him il suo fratello, Angelo, is here."

The lovely secretary emitted a frown, confused at the foreign words. Either way she nodded and walked back towards her desk. I didn't wait for her. I proceeded towards Stefano's office.

"Ciao, mio fratello!" I hollered as soon I barged in through the door.

The door opened with a loud bang. I grinned when Stefano rolled his eyes.
