Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

“I know you don’t, you don’t even look happy, you are always lost in thoughts and you look like you aged a little, I haven’t gone through a breakup before but I have seen people who have and that’s exactly how you look like, I wish you don’t have to do it this way.”

Yoey let out.

“Yoey, you might be right about me doing this all wrong but I won’t go back now, I rather she hates me and stay away from this messy stuff than have her with me and have her witness all of this, it will get nasty soon and I don’t want her involved, I will fix things once this is over, for now, I can’t, the people we are dealing with are known to do shady things.

Luciano responded, leaving no room for further debate.

“Yeah boss, I will see you tomorrow, please take a break too,”

Yoey said and left, once he was on his own, Luciano stood up from his seat and went to the cabinet in his office, make himself someone coffee, and went to stand by the window, looking out into the busy city, everyone was moving on and living their life except him, he was stuck in here cleaning up the mess others made and dragged him into, while his grandfather lay cold in the morgue and the woman he loves alone at home, funny how he always said he will never fall in love but now that he did love a woman, he was making her go through hell, even if she doesn’t hate him, he already hated himself for everything he did to her, if only he had another way.

He took a sip of his coffee and let out a sad sigh, he hated living like this and wanted the life he had when he newly married Arielle back, this time, he wanted to be okay with his grandfather, he just wished to be happy again without having any worries but the thing is, no matter how much he wishes for that to be the case, he knew it will never happen, he alone was responsible for how his life would turn out, the past was already past, the present doesn’t look very good now but whatever he does will determine what will happen in his future, maybe not being happy right now might make way for a happier future but no matter how he looks at it, his future didn’t look happy, he was never one to think about the future, now that he did, he didn’t like what he saw, the only way he is going to be happy in the future is if Arielle forgives him and take him back after all this is done, if not, he would live a pretty lonely life and he didn’t want that.

Luciano let out another sigh, took a sip from the coffee, and left the window, worrying about the future won’t fix the presence so he has to keep working and get things done. If only Lily or Perez will take the bait, but so far, they have both been so quiet, it’s like they knew they got caught and they were taking a break and being extra careful, he wishes they weren’t, everything would work out faster if they just come on to him strong, he hated the suspense so much, his uncle Laz had told him to take it slowly but slowly was never how he did his thing, not being able to finish up was killing him, he was so close to confronting Perez himself.

His phone rang and he picked it up wondering who was calling him by this time. It was already past nine pm and he had no pending business calls, the number was not registered in his phone and for a moment, he thought it would be Perez but when he picked up, he realized it wasn’t him almost immediately.

“Macko? Where the hell are you? loser!”

Luciano yelled at the phone when he realized it was his cousin calling.

“I am in the city, I am coming to see you, I can’t do this anymore, I know I messed up but I didn’t kill Don, I never knew he would be killed, I won’t kill my own grandfather, you have to believe me, it is all them, I was a fool to believe them and now they want to kill me too and you, they are planning to kill us all,”

Macko said on the phone, he sounded scared and out of his mind.

“Where are you right now Macko? What’s going on?”

He asked.

“I am coming to meet you, I am in Moscow already, they are going to kill us all Luciano, I made a mistake believing them,”

He let out.

“Who are you talking about here? Perez or Lily?”

Luciano asked.

“Both of them, Dimitri too, they are all working together, Dimitri is Perez and Lily’s love child, they are a family,”

Macko revealed shocking Luciano, yes, he knew Lily and Perez had a relationship even though Perez is married but it never crossed his mind that his one-time best friend was their child, he knew Dimitri was adopted by his current parents but he never knew Perez was his real father and even all through what has been going on, it never crossed his mind that Dimitri would a hand in it, he never thought of it.

“Are you sure of what you are saying?”

He asked, still in doubt. It was hard for him to believe anything Macko says, his record wasn’t so great seeing as he was the reason everything started anyway.

“Where can I meet you cousin? I will tell you everything I know,”

Macko said and Luciano contemplated whether or not to give him his location, since he had other things to sort out with his cousin, he gave in and gave his location to him.

“I am at my office,”

“Right, I will be there in twenty minutes,”

He said and hung up the call, Luciano called the security post to let him in once he got there, and after that, he waited patiently. He arrived exactly twenty minutes later.

“You son of a bitch!”

Luciano yelled when he walked into his office and punched him in the face.

“Aha, I deserved that,”

Macko said, holding his face.

“You deserve more than that, you son of a bitch, Deda died because of you!”

He yelled at him. He tried to control his emotions but just seeing Macko made him mad, the man didn’t even look good, he lost a lot of weight and looked worse than he did when he had been in jail.

“I know, and I feel guilty about it, I am sorry,”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He said, bowing his head.

“Sorry? Sorry won’t fix this, you crazy fool,”

“I know, just hear me out will you, if you don’t, we might all die,”

Macko said in a pleading voice.

“Sit down and tell me what you know and why you think we will all be killed,”

He said and waited for him to sit, after which he sat down too and waited for him to speak.

“I found out that they plan to kill us all, at first, I thought Don’s death was a mistake, I thought someone else killed him.”

Macko said and Luciano glared at him wanting to do more than just a punch.
