Chapter 3 3rd Chapter

Morano's POV

The sound of laughter filled the room as the boys danced to the sound of the beautiful song playing in the background.

The DJ was keeping it simple and bumpy and everyone could say they were having a good time.

"Boss, you should join us on the dance floor. Today is your birthday." Lavia, one of the boys suggested.

The rest joined in the persuasion, clapping their hands and trying to force me to stand up from my seat, but I declined.

"Maybe some other time," I said to their disappointment.

They resumed dancing on the floor, while I watched on with so many thoughts running through my mind.

Tonight, my property arrives and I cannot wait to grace her presence.

Ever since the very first day I laid eyes on her, I knew that I needed to get her into my home. There was something about the way she looked helpless that drew me close to her. Another thing was her physical attributes.

She was the perfect God's creation on the planet, and she was perfect by my side as my most-priced possession.

"Boss."

I was pulled away from my thoughts by one of the boys, staring at me with seriousness in his eyes-that made me straighten up and more alert.

"We have a situation that requires your attention underground." He said.

That was all I needed to hear from him to understand that something was wrong with the business.

As the Mafia Boss whenever anything is happening, I must ensure that they are resolved before our enemy tries to sabotage the situation to their advantage.

I got up to my feet and followed him out of the club. We walked down the stairs to the underground tunnel, which was hidden in the middle of the mansion, away from prying eyes that were not members of my crew.

When my feet touched the ground, I heard screams coming from a mile away and smiled inwardly.

Someone must have tampered with my Business and now they have to face the consequences of their action.

One of the boys opened the room and I walked inside to see a man on the floor with blood splattered across his face.

He looked completely disoriented and it brought satisfaction to me, knowing that he had been caught.

"Boss." Adrian, one of the crew members dealing with the culprit, greeted.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We found him at the corner of the warehouse spying on the boys working on the coke. Apparently, he was with a camera." Adrian explained.

I turned around to face the man on the floor, who was sobbing quietly, and walked towards him. I leaned down to meet his gaze, but he looked away.

"Who sent you?" I asked calmly, but there was no response from him. "I don't like repeating myself, boy!" I warned, glaring hard at him.

"I don't have to tell you anything." He replied and spat out blood on my feet.

Adrian stormed forward but I stopped him before he could use the baseball stick in his hand on him.

"Allow the young man to express himself freely," I said to him with a smile on my face and then turned to the culprit on the floor.

"Which of the rival Mafia gang sent you?" I asked for the second time but he refused to speak.

"Do you want to live?" I asked him and he turned to me with a glimpse of hope in his eyes and nodded his head aggressively.

"Then you have to open up to me," I said to him and then gently placed my hand on his shoulder. "I promise to let you go after you tell me everything."

"And you think that I am going to trust you? Everyone knows that Vincenzo Morano is a big ass liar."

His words caused me to snap. I rose to my feet and pulled out the gun hidden under my trouser and shot at his head three times. The boy is not worth my time at all. I have more important things to worry about.

"Clean up the mess. I'm expecting a guest." I said to Adrian, handing over the gun to him and walking out of the room.

While returning to the main building, I stumbled upon Leo and smiled as he bowed his head to me.

"She is here boss." He revealed.

"Where?" I asked.

"In your chambers." He replied and I dismissed him after giving him a simple pat on the back.

I turned to the rest of the gang members who were trailing behind me and gave them a signal with my hand, which caused them to all walk away.

Approaching the chamber, my nose was filled with a beautiful smell of red rose. Her scent was alluring and I was drawn to it.

I pulled the door open and found her seated on the bed, staring at the window. She gazed in my direction and lowered her head almost immediately. She's uncomfortable or should I say squirmish.

She's such a sight to behold.

"I hope you had a smooth trip coming here, " I asked, walking over to the bed.

"I don't understand the meaning of this." She spoke calmly and looked up into my eyes. "Why did you buy me, when you don't even know me?" She asked.

I chuckled and took a seat next to her and she adjusted backwards, giving us a respectable distance.

"And who said I don't know you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I saw the wheel turning in her head. She's wondering if I was just messing with her or being honest. "I've known you for a very long time. I might be an asshole but I don't covet another person's wife. But your recent divorce told me it was time to act. I knew what I wanted and took my shot at it." I added.

"By buying me off from my ex-husband?" She asked, incredulously.

She's feisty. She doesn't act like she looks. She looks so delicate but also daring. She's very different from the women I've been with. It will take a lot of time to bend her to my rules, and I've got the time.

"Mark wanted money and I gave him everything he wanted." I moved close again but she maintained yet another distance.

"Whether you like it or not, you are stuck with me. I own you now and you are going to do everything that I ask of you."

She shook her head aggressively as I got up to my feet. "I'm not going to be your whore if that's what you're implying. This is abduction. I came here against my will. You bought my landlord's property just to have your way."

Her lower lip trembles and she bites it harshly trying to stop herself from breaking down but that doesn't deter my next words.

"I'm known as the king of New York's underworld for a reason. I get what I want no matter what it takes." I finished off and walked out of the room.
