Taming the Ruthless Mafia Billionaire

MILAN

10:20AM

The loud blare of a mobile phone jarred Alessandro awake. He grunted slowly, rubbed his eyes before reaching for his phone on the desk.

Still half asleep, he used his elbow to forcefully prop himself upwards, and then brought the phone to his ears.

"Hello?" his sleepy yet deep voice spoke groggily into the phone.

"Angelo, see me in my office."

The voice was low and brief yet commanding enough. Alessandro needed no soothsayer to know who he had just spoken to. He had forgotten to check the caller identity in his sleepy state but the voice was enough to shake him back to reality.

He sighed rubbing his eyes more and wading off the last remaining of sleep in them before he stood, stretching himself to full length. He had fallen asleep in his study. A glance at the round wall clock told him he had slept for almost an hour. If only chief hadn't woken him up, who knows he would have been lucky to have his first hour of sleep for the first time in a long, long while. And hopefully with no nightmares.

Flashes of the terrible event that happened years ago raced through his head briefly. He brushed them off with a slight head shake and then started out of his study briskly.

His plan was to have a quick bath before going to see chief but he ended up staying longer in the bathtub than he had imagined.

Minutes later, he trotted out of the bathroom, with a large white towel wrapped around his lower body. Trails of water trailed his path as he walked. A smaller towel hung partially around his neck as he used his right hand to wipe his hair with the other free portion of the towel.

He halted and stood before the huge mirror in his bedroom adjacent to the gigantic bed. His features shone at him. Above six feet tall, long straight legs with a face like that of a demi-god. Not just ladies but even some men get struck with bewilderment for his looks sometimes.

There were times, moments, when they mattered. Times when he took great pleasure in having them. Moments when ladies get to drool all over him in the presence of Lorenzo, the only one who could dare to match his achievements and feet. But not at this moment. Hearing chief's tone meant it was that time again. The time that his fingers either get dirty or he die.

He, Alessandro Angelo has chosen the former and would stick to it. Although he had never for once feared death, never, right from the moment he stepped foot into Chief Giovanni Piero's company. To him, people afraid of death are the ones greedy for life. He lives his everyday life as if it would be his last. That, in fact is the life of anyone in his shoes. The moment you start wanting more from life, that will be the end of you.

He scurried away from the mirror to the wardrobe. Suits, shirts and pants of different brands hung delicately in the wardrobe, made by the best craftsmen of the country.

He sized them up and finally his eyes settled on the Shelton suit. He unhung it carefully and slipped himself into it. Not like he cared much about his looks except when he needed to work with it. He casted another quick look at himself in the mirror once more after he was done dressing up after which he grabbed his phone and stepped out of the house.

He drove himself to chief Giovanni's company in one of his expensive cars. A quick drive from his home to the company. In less than ten minutes, he arrived. As he made his way up to chief's office, he got the usual stares. Alessandro by now was used to the stares and totally ignored them all but his ears couldn't be shut to them as much as he wished.

He got into the elevator and pressed the last floor. There were a few ladies already in the elevator as he got in and once they saw him, they were immediately struck.

Their hushed yet loud murmurings could be clearly heard by Alessandro.

"Gosh! He is so handsome..." One of the ladies smacked her lips while gripping her hands against her shoulders seductively.

"My dream man!" the chubby round face one amongst them squealed excitedly. Her unusually loud voice echoed in the elevator.

"I can never get used to his charming face. oh my gosh... I can stare up close at him all day...my heart!" another one of them gushed.

All the while Alessandro acted deaf to their ramblings and waited patiently for the elevator to get to his destination.

Once the elevator door opened, he stepped out and headed towards chief's office. He expected the ladies to also drop and head their different offices but when he casted a look behind his shoulders, the elevator door was closed again and heading down with none of the ladies actually getting out.

He let out a short chuckle and shook his head.

It turned out the ladies had missed their stop or didn't even press one at all.

Two heavy tap on the door was enough to tell chief he has arrived. He waited for his response calmly.

"Enter." Chief's voice came from inside. Alessandro walked in. Lorenzo was already seated when he walked in. They merely exchanged glance and looked away. They could never get along and have long accepted that.

Chief was on call as he entered so he had to wait for his call to end. While he waited, his eyes strayed at the painting that hung at a corner of the office. It looked like it was a part of the wall. Unique and well painted. To the world and normal people's eyes, it was merely a beautiful painting but to someone like Alessandro, he knew there was more to the mere painting on the wall.

Once chief dropped the call, his face turned grim. He let out a heavy heave and faced Alessandro and Lorenzo. The corner of his eyes twitched repeatedly. Something he usually does whenever he has something important to say. Alessandro often wondered if it was natural in the past but knowing him for years now was enough to explain it all to him.

"I heard the building contract will be given to chief Alegra. Make him reject the deal and be brought to me."

Alessandro nodded. "Is there anything I should look out for...or anything I should know?"

Chief pondered slowly for a while before he finally blurted out a no.

"Consider it done chief." Alessandro said. He then bowed slightly and started walking out of the office. He stopped in his tracks after walking just a few steps. "What if he refuses?" he asked turning to face chief again even though he knew exactly what chief's response would be, still he still wanted to hear it.

"You know what to do if he refuses. Make it as clean as possible." Chief answered without a second pause. The grimness in his face grew and the circles around his eyes, gotten from sleepless nights darkened. To him, he either gets what he wanted but if he couldn't, whoever gets it, dies.

Alessandro bowed one last time and finally walked out of the office. Lorenzo followed afterwards.

"What's your plan?" Lorenzo asked meeting up with him. Alessandro gave a little shrug without saying a word. His plan has already started to be mapped out in his head.

Alessandro is sitting on a bench in the children park. The cold rush of air blew sharply past the tip of his nose. He pulled his gloves off gently and rubbed them slightly.

His eyes are fixed at the kids laughing and playing in the park.

One would think he was having fun watching children play but that wasn't the case for Alessandro. For the sake of his mission, he has to do things he wouldn't normally find himself doing. He has had to disguise himself a good number of times as different persons with different personalities. Women the greater victims of his guise. They always lead him to his prey. This time he would be using a kid. It was his best option and easiest route.

One of the kids fell while running and that caused one of the lady instructors to rush towards the kid.

"Leo, are you alright? Where did you hurt yourself...let me see..." She lifted the child from the ground while carefully scrutinizing his feet looking for where he had hurt himself.

"is it here?" she asked again feeling a reddened spot. That made the child to wince in pain.

"oh so sorry, Leo. It seems you fractured a bone. Come, I will take you to the clinic."

Alessandro looked closely. The child in pain is his target. He became alert at once.

The next minute the lady instructor lifted the child into her arms and started to take him away.

"Camilla watch out for the kids while I take Leo to the clinic!" the lady instructor bellowed to the other one as she carried Leo away.

Alessandro followed after her making sure to keep his distance and presence unnoticeable.

They walked into a convenience shop where she lowered the child down.

"Please can I get some first aid for a child?" she asked the lady behind the counter.

"of course."

Soon the lady brought the first aid and it was applied to the kid.

Alessandro stood behind the displayed goods looking at everything but nothing. The corner of his eyes monitored the child while he pretended to be looking for something to buy.

As the aid was being applied, the lady instructor started to walk towards the section where Alessandro was to pick something. Alessandro saw her coming and dipped his face, he quickly grabbed the closest good before him.

"oh, that is the last chips..." she blurted sadly seeing the guy before her holding the last of the chips. Alessandro looked in his hand and at the display. Shit! He truly had grabbed the last of the chips.

"Ciao..." she called out to him with an Italian accent.

Alessandro didn't bulge. He expected that she left if he ignored her.

"Hello mister? Excuse me...are you getting the chips or do you have any intentions of dropping it back?" she called again, this time touching his shoulder slightly.

Shit! Why can't she just leave already...Alessandro grumbled within him not willing to let her see his face.

"Mister...excuse me..."

Alessandro turned sharply before she could say another word. "Here have it." He extended the chips to her forcing a short smile.

"uh? Really? I can have it?" Her face broke out into a big smile. An infectious smile. Her eyes twinkled with happiness. Alessandro was hooked. He had never seen one smile so beautifully in his entire life.

"Yes...you can have it if you want..." he found himself stuttering. And then looked away.

The next spilt second, in a flash, she jumped and landed on Alessandro's body excitedly.

Alessandro froze and his eyes bulged out. He had hugged several ladies in the past especially for work but none had made him feel so different and... strange before.

"Oh my gosh! thank you! Thank you so much! I thought you would say no and I really, really wanted to have chips today...theirs is the best of all shops..."

She ranted on and on nonstop.

When she realized what she had just done, she jumped down shyly. "I'm sorry... I got a little excited and...urhm... yeah I know I can be a little extra sometimes..." she added with a quirky chuckle while gaping at the chips in her hands. Now in her possession.

Her laughter rang in his ears again. Alessandro couldn't stop starring at the face before him. It was doing strange things to him. Strange things he was trained to never feel.

"So, to thank you for letting me have your chips, what would you like for me to get you in return...just tell me anything...anything at all...go on..."

Alessandro frowned. What could she possibly offer him...

"forget it." He said with a shrug and made to walk away. But surprisingly she held him back. Alessandro's jaw dropped in total bewilderment. Such tiny human gripping his arm. He was going to shoot her one of the fearful glares which he shoots ladies that wouldn't let him be and ask her if she wanted to die but swallowed them back.

She pouted her lips. "Please don't say no...please...please...just say anything okay..."

Seeing her pout her tiny lips caused Alessandro's heart to flip.

"What are you doing?" Lorenzo's voice boomed behind him jolting him back to the moment. Alessandro snapped his hand away from the lady's hold and shot her glare. "I said you should forget it."

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" the lady, surprised asked seeing the drastic change in Alessandro's reaction.

'I am not allowed to feel this way. Never! Lorenzo can never find me in this manner' He was going to say that to her but instead said, "You have done nothing wrong. Keep the chips. It's just chips anyway."

"I'm sorry...it's just that I am grateful you...I mean you let me have your chips... and sorry, it isn't just chips to me and besides I hate to owe someone. So, go on and say what you want in exchange for your chips. I can sing for you or dance or...erm..."

"Just forget it!" he snapped at her. He couldn't afford to give Lorenzo the wrong impression about them. He shifted away from her and went over the other side.

"what...is he angry at me? Did I do something wrong?" the lady wondered.

"Excuse me miss, come have a look. It's all done now." The lady applying the aid for Leo called out to her.

She hurried back to them.

"There! Do you feel better?" She flashed a warm smile at the Leo.

"Yes aunty Isabella." the child returned the smile.

'Isabella...hmmm, that's her name.' Alessandro murmured to himself with a soft chuckle. His eyes met with Lorenzo and darted out of the shop afterwards. When Isabella turned much later to catch a glimpse of the strange man, he was gone. She scoffed. What sort of a man refuses to accept a harmless thank you? She shook her head wondering what type of man he really could be. Then she took Leo and they started to leave the convenience shop.

Isabella handed the little boy to his driver. "Bye Leo! See you again soon!" she bade him bye ruffling his hair playfully. Leo giggled and soon he was scooped up by his driver and taken into the car.

"Hmmm...finally!" Isabella heaved out a sigh in relief once the car zoomed off. Taking care of kids was something she enjoyed doing, although it came with its hurdles. Leo was her last for the day. She always made sure each kid got handed over to the parents or the guidance before calling it a successful day.

She sighted the waterfalls and suddenly felt like having a cold shower. The mere thought of having the shower run on her while she stood under it made her want to arrive home that instant. But she decided to buy a gelato ice-cream on her way back and branched at a convenience store first.

Alessandro stood distance away and the moment he saw Leo taken into the car, he took out the tiny black communicating chip and fixed into his ear. "The car is moving now. Don't let it out of your sight." He spoke into the communicator, eyes still fixed at the now moving car. He quickly got into his own car, reversed and took the opposite way. A beep sounded in his phone seconds later. With his right hand grabbing onto the steering wheel, he brought his phone out from his jacket. It was a message from Lorenzo. He just confirmed that their main target was home.

"Good!" Alessandro muttered with a smirk, hitting the gear. The speed of the car went up and the engine rumbled nosily as he sped.

A few meters from Chief Alegra's house, the car Leo was in was intercepted by a black range rover. Two men dressed heavily in black all through jumped down from the range rover.

"Open this door!" one of the men barked. The driver refused and had the locks of the car all locked up.

"Uncle what is going on? Who are those men?" Leo asked innocently seeing some strange men stop their car.

"Stay here Leo...don't do anything okay?" He made Leo hide behind the driver's seat.

One of the men forced a mischievous smile. He dipped his hand behind and a gun followed his hand out. "I didn't think you would like it the hard way..."

He pointed the gun at the driver who obeyed immediately and unlocked the doors.

"Your hands up!"

"please spare our lives...let us go..." he pleaded.

One of the men pushed the driver out sending him crashing to the ground. They got into the car and sped off with Leo in it. The range rover followed after them.

"Leo! Leo! Leo...." The driver scrambled to his feet and dashed after the moving cars but his strength could only carry him a few distance before he fell to the ground crying. "Chief will kill me today...oh shit...what am I going to tell chief that happened to his son..." he wailed. The poor driver contemplated taking to his heels, away from chief where he would never reach him but he knew with just a snap pf a finger chief Alegra could order his execution. He chose to inform him instead and face whatever it brought. But his phone was in the car that was taken away.

CHIEF ALEGRA'S HOME

Chief Alegra had just gotten in from work. His office bag dangled from his right hand. In the past, he would have had one of his men take it up to his room but that day he was too excited to let go of the bag, as if if he did, the important document in it would grow legs and walk away. He met his three wives in the sitting room as he walked into the house. As usual, they either had a servant massaging their feet or holding a glass of wine in between well-manicured shiny fingers.

Chief Alegra is one of the prominent men in the city and country at large. He is known for owning corporation companies and constructions companies amongst his other shady deals and paper companies' no one knows.

Once his wives sighted him coming in, they dismissed the servants and welcomed him. The last and youngest of them ran up to him and flung herself into his body. "Welcome darling..." she greeted beaming with smiles. The other wives scrunched their noses in disgust, jealous of the last wife. It was known that chief usually favors his wives according to the one he married newly. The newer the fresher. The moment he gets tired of her, he takes up another wife. Some couldn't bear and ended up leaving. Only the greedy and those that lived for the title and flashy life that remained.

Chief lets his last wife smooch him a little before slowly detaching himself from her. Because he was in a great mood, he thought to make his wives happy too. It was all planned out.

He dipped his hand into his suit pocket and took out three bunch of keys.

"Here, for you my darling wives..."

"Hmmm, darling did something great happened?" they asked him. Although chief got nice things for them but it was always different when it's a happy day for him. They needed no one to tell them something special had happened.

"Yes, something indeed good has happened." His face beamed.

"Thank you chief..."

"Thank you chief...oh my!"

"Thank you so much chief. I have always wanted this car model. Now let me see what that fake ass bitch is going to do hah hah..."

They all rushed outside to explore their new cars. But chief went upstairs with his youngest wife, Jaquetta who knew exactly what he wanted.

The door banged shut the moment they stepped into chief's room. She grabbed the office bag from him and flung away, eyes seductively charged. Chief smirked, his lips fell lopsided as he watched her rid herself of her clothes slowly yet enough to rear his insides on fire. Seconds later, she was standing a few inches from him, rid totally of all her clothes except for her G-string underwear. She grabbed her bo*bs and squeezed it while sending chief this 'come and get it if you want' look. Chief's throat moved hungrily. He could feel his bulge rearing its head slowly. He wasn't one to wait for too long. He is a man that believe in delving into it immediately. Foreplay aren't his thing. She smacked her lips together seeing the effect her antics was having on chief.

"fuvk you bitch!" Chief charged like a bull at her at once. He pushed her slightly and she fell on the bed. He hurriedly tore his clothes away and went onto her. With a quick snap he tore her G-string away and made to dig into her but she held up her hand causing chief to halt. Impatience and displeasure at the sudden interruption grazed his eyes.

Jaquetta slowly rose from her lying position. Her lips formed into a pout. This was the only way and time to penetrate chief without him making a fuss: In his heat moment.

"Speak up Jaquetta! I can't wait for long!" chief growled, his bulge would be turning painful if he wasted any more time.

"Chief, I want a new house..."

"A new house? Okay I will get you a new one. Come to me now..." Even though chief wanted to ask why she wanted a new house when she was in his house, he couldn't ask since he had no time to waste.

Jaqueta got up from the bed. A file containing documents was laying on the drawer. She took it to chief requesting he signed them.

"fuvk Jaquetta! Can't we do this after?" Another deep grumble from chief. He bit his lips hard and snatched the file from her. No time to have a thorough look. He merely skimmed roughly at it and went straight to the signature column and signed. A hidden smug lurked at the corners of Jaquetta's lips. Her eyes like that of a witch, how could she wait for after, when it was only at this moment that chief's senses are not intact. Chief once done signing, handed her over the files. "Satisfied?"

She nodded with a smile. Then she carefully placed the file back on the drawer desk and went up to chief who by now was almost on the verge of losing his bulge. As soon as she climbed up to him, he grabbed her roughly and pinned her down.

"For wasting...my time...I...will...show no...mercy...to you..." he roared as he pounded her on and on like a fully charged bull. With each thrust he made, he dug deeper and deeper. By the time he let her go, she was left deeply sore, and chief, well spent.

Seconds later chief was snoring away heavily. Jaquetta smirked a wicked grin. She carefully rolled him away from her side and got down from the bed. She slipped back into her clothes. Then she took the documents which chief had signed and smiled at it. "perfect..." she muttered. By the time chief realized what he had done to himself, she would be long gone.

When she got back to her room, she swallowed some drugs. Since chief would never agree to use condoms, she would always take pills to stop her from getting pregnant. She would never allow herself get pregnant for Chief Alegra.
