A boss who has absolute or nearly absolute control over the other members of the organization, is greatly feared for their ruthlessness and willingness to take lives to exert their influence, and profits from the criminal endeavours in which...
The throbbing pain in my leg was what woke me up. With a groan i limped slowly to the medicine cabinet. I took out the painkiller pill bottle and took a pill. I walked over to the sink... pouring a glass of Water and then gobbling the pill down. It was a little after nine so i just went back to the room and then prepared to wash up.
I stripped naked and then went to the bathroom. I place a shower cap on my hair so as not to get my cornrows wet and then sighed gratefully as the warm water cascaded down my body. I grabbed my soap and sponge and then proceeded to washed my self.. after i was done, i took a towel and wrapped it around my body. I walked to the countertop and then proceeded to brush my teeth. I quickly dressed in a yellow top and black skirt. I removed the shower cap.
I quickly made a light breakfast and then proceeded to the living room, turning on the television and eating my breakfast. The doorbell rang just as i was about to drink a glass of water. I placed it down and walked to the door. I opened the door but no one was there. I looked around in confusion. My eyes snapped down and a brown envelope was laying on the doorstep. I bent down to pick it up and then locked the door. Walking to the living room, i opened the envelope and i felt a cold fear down to my spine as i read the letter;
The don has heard about your little snooping around our business and is not very happy.... You'll be hearing from us very soon.
I shakily moved to the couch and sat down slowly. You'll be hearing from us soon. My hands were shaking as i moved around my house and area locking the doors and windows.

"Is it done?" I ask my the cowering man standing in front of me. "Y-yes sir... The letter has been dropped waiting on your command" I dismissed him and poured scotch in a glass and drank it down. On my desk were picture and documents of Zuri Brown... My next target. Every detail about her has been processed from her she was a figure skater to now being a nosy blogger. You see i was the underboss and it was my joy to take care of things and tie up loose ends that will threaten ' Our family'. I stood up from my desk and sighed apprehensively before going to my father's office.
I knocked on the door once before coming in. Behind the desk was a man in his early fifties.... Robust and was currently smoking a pipe while classical music played in the background. A bottle of dry gin with a glass cup was placed on the desk in front of him and stacks of 'paper work' was at the side of his desk. He placed the pipe on his desk and looked at me pointedly. I tried not to show my dear but damn did i feel that chill up my spine.
I trust the Matter is being taken care of? He asked him and i nodded. "It's in progress sir and soon in a few day it will be taken care of" nodding in appreciation he smiled and then reached and picked up one of the documents. "I'll be attending the meeting in Seattle to discuss the current happenings in our individual areas.... Take care of the business in the basement.... Extract the information we need... And silence him. This time make sure the body isn't found!" He stood up slowly and walk towards me. He placed his hands on my shoulders in a way that i was facing his desk while he was facing the door. We stayed like that for a couple of seconds before he took his hands off my shoulders and left. All i wanted was a hug. I shook my head and sighed. Every since i was little i have always craved for my dad's love and attention but i could never get it. My mom also died when i was very young.... My dad won't even tell me anything about her.
You see my dad was the capo dei capi and i was his second in command. I call him Sir because that what he asked i call him. I remember one day i called him dad. He was so angry at me yelling, screaming and breaking things but not one did he hurt me.
I put on my straight face and then went down to the basement. "Boss" a group of men chroused and i nodded my head in agreement. Never say thank you to anybody... The people are here to serve you and not the other way around. My dad will always say as he was teaching me on how to be a leader that will succeed him.
A frail looking man was hunched over in a iron seat bleeding and taking in ragged breaths. "Marcus... Common let's end this, tell me what you know and I'll try to save you." He dragged his eye slowly met mine and i gave him my most sincere look.
"L-i love her you k-known.... I want both her and the baby to be safe. I know i committed an offence by having an affair with a married woman and i know I'm going to die anyway but please spare my Juliet" I nodded my head and smiled softly "tell me and I'll spare her" he a little unsure "she's in Boston". I smiled and nodded... See that wasn't so bad. I looked at the men. "Dispose of him.. cement style ". His face paled and he started to shake his head.
"Wait! Wait! My Juliet my Juliet" his yelling turned to screaming as the torture continued. Emotion will make you weak... It will blind you, if you feel too much you become a fool! So before it blossoms into a full blown tree... you must uproot the stem. My dad's words played in my head as i walked out of the basement.
