Who is the devil
A trust can be broken and never be fixed again!
She smiled, it's true she was about to get married to a man. She had been dating him for years now. She wants to break the news to Carmella that night before she went missing. she just prayed what these men were saying is true. She wants to see her bestie back again, her smiles, laughter, her innocent acts, and her ways of complaining.
"Slash!" She heard a sound of a broken glass cup from the living room because she was in the kitchen preparing a meal for herself and pinky.
Not again! She complained, being a baby means a lot of work. She just can't wait for the holidays to be over soon. So pinky can go back home to her parents. Since pinky arrived, her life has been occupied with work and washing of clothes all the time.
"Pinky!" She called but no one answered, it seems like everything went immediate client. Pinky must have hide from her to be warned, spanks, and punished.
"Pinky! I know you can hear so stop playing deaf ears to me but I lose my temper towards you. What have you broken this time!" She yells but no words for her. This is unlike pinky Even if she did something wrong or damage something, she never hides or pays deaf ears to you, she'll surely come out no matter what. That's a little brave girl but she needs to be in order.
She seems no one was responding to her, she decided to go check if she's okay or what,
"Pinky!" She calls slowly as she walks closer to her living room. " Pinky, are you here? You know aunt hates silly games" she walks into the living room was dark. What happens? Why are the lights turn off?
"She's here," a deep voice said, the lights were turned on immediately. She saw a man sitting on her favorite chair, drags pinky and hold her mouth from screaming. He placed a dagger into the little girl's throat. And there are other men in the room wearing blacks. She was shocked and scared, she won't know what these people want from her. First was two men in black came to visit her and now they're more than five. They're seven men but it seems the one sitting on the chair holding a knife to the Pinky throat is their leader.
"So, you're the Violetta that everybody wants and how looking for," Leonardo said
"Please, I begged you to let go of her. She's just a child" she pleads, tears running down her cheeks. " Aww, I love it when they cried, now let get straight to the point" he handed over the girl to one of his men.
"My Violetta is nice to finally meet you in person than in the club, I guess you're the type of party girl. Anyway, let me introduce myself to you angel, my name's Leonardo"
"Please what's do you want, I have never stolen your money or meet you before"
"Sh sh sh, sweetie" he placed his finger across his lips. "Keeps it down if you want to see your niece still alive"
"Aunt, what are they going to do to us" the little girl cried. " Nothing, okay" she replied still in tears. "Aww, so touching" Leonardo mocked now let get the shit done. If you don't want to lose her" he pointed to the little girl. " You have to do whatever I asked you to do" " okay" Violetta nodded.
"I want you to bring Carmella to me when she comes to visit you or have she visited you before and you know her whereabouts?"
"No, never! Some men have come to asked for her before I don't know anything, I only knew she was dead three months ago"
"Dead" he chuckled, "no she not dead, you don't you tell her anything because if you do your sweet niece's here will pay with her life, trust me that would be hard to do".
"I promise never to let her know anything" she quickly said. "Good, I like my girls good and obey and if you dare informed the man that came here this morning, your whole family will pay with life's include you and the useless man you want to get married to"
Violetta widened her eyes, how come did he know about her personal life. And the man in her life. What the hell had Carmella gotten her into! What has she done to deserve this! She never knows this man or anything about them. They all want Carmella. But why? Why the fucking reason they're coming to her instead of Carmella's home?
"I assured you, sir, no one will hear about this please just let her go"
"Go? Do you say when you have not completed your job? The release of your niece shall be approved when you complete the task I gave you"
"No, no, no, please I begged I can anything you want just let her go take me instead please I begged you" she knees and plead at h the feet of Leonardo but he pays no attention to her pleading.
"Here's my card, called me when you bought the job done" he drops his card on the little table behind the TV.
"Please" she continues to plead.
"A deal is a deal, get it done and you will see your niece again. The key to your niece freedom and life is Carmella"
He turns to his men. " Let go " he ordered the men to follow after him carrying the little girl along. "Aunt! Help me !" She calls.
"No!!!" As Violetta shouts, she lost consciousness immediately they left, her eyes shut down at the last view of her niece calling on to her.
Within five minutes, she found herself in a hospital, she was bought in by her neighbors when they heard her scream. But getting to her apartment she was on the ground. And the door was opened. They immediately rush her to the hospital. She thought, it was a dream that some man came and take away her niece but it's not a dream, it's reality.
The neighbors tried to get words out of her mouth on what happens but she just said she was sick and needed to rest. Her mind race to Carmella, was Carmella alive? Why how this gangster looking for her. What has she done to them that makes men in power look for her this way? She's freaking worried what if Carmella never comes to her or called her, what is she going to do to get her innocent niece from that monster himself called Leonardo!
She was still dozens in her thoughts when she heard her phone ring, it shows an unknown number. She was scared it might be the bastard that takes her niece away.
She picks up the call in fear and shut her eyes so tight to get to hear what the women want to say. "Hello" she heard a lady's voice
The soft echo of the voice the way it sounds, this voice sounds familiar to her. She takes out the phone from her ears and looks at the number, it's was an unknown number. And place it back into her ears. "Hello," the lady on the line said again.
"Carmella!" Violetta calls.
"Sir!" A man called. " Come in Ben" Alfonso replied, the man steps in,
"What is the information you have gathered?" Alfonso asked, "Sir, we find out that the two parties went to see the same woman today" the man answered. Alfonso immediately stopped the fire games he was playing on his laptop.
"You said what?" He asked, raising his head to the man's face properly. "Sir, I said the report we found was that the two parties visited a woman today who happens to be the same woman, you send us to question her about the disappearance of Carmella" the man simply explained himself to Alfonso.
"Hmm," Alfonso sighed, "those boys don't want to step down that easily"
"Sir, the lady niece was taken in the process" the man added. "By who?"
"Your nephew sir, " "that brat, always want to prove him better and fixed for the mafia hood. He always does things differently"
"So what are you planning to do sir"
"We have to take back the lady niece from that asshole who called himself my nephew, he never listens to anyone and does things differently. I don't know where the hell his father bought him from! Ouch!" He shouts in frustration. "What the hell!" He spanks his hands on the table before him. He is such a pain in the ass!
He is fucking tired of Leonardo, he never learns anything. Always rushing on how to get things done in his way, which that's disturbing and stupidity in the sight of Alfonso, he had tried everything he could to help Leonardo get the thing done in the circle but he always messes up. All he desired was to be the next Mafias king. He always wishes he was born of the Francesco bloodline, not the Mars bloodlines.
"Called that idiot immediately! I want him here and right now! If he loves that stupid life's he calls!" He roars. "Sure sir!" The man greeted and went out of the office.
He's fucking tried of Leonardo display attitude since the years he was a child but his father never complained not even a bit to him.
No, no, no, I don't need candy! I want to have what Marcello is having!" He shouts, causing the maids attending to him to close their ears with both hands, avoiding the loud noise he was making!
"What the hell is going on here?" Alfonso asked and entering the chamber. " What?" He asked again. The maids bow down their heads and greet him. " Uncle Alfonso, I don't want candy, I want to eat roast meat just like Marcello. But no one wants to give me!"
"Oh is that the reason you want to tear down the building?" He jokingly asked, "yes! If I don't see my roast beef I request for!"
"Hmmm, that a big mouth with a little boy"
"No! I'm not a little boy!" He snapped back,
"Oh really? What are you then? Little man"
"I'm going to be the next Mafias king of Italy!" The little boy scream in joy. The smile on Alfonso's face died off, he's only 11 and he's utter a word of offense. He looks around to see if anyone else heard what the boy said except for him and the maids.
"Do you maids heard anything?" He asked.
"No we don't master" they replied
"Get the hell out! " He roars, as the maids want to run out in fear, he stops them.
"If anyone heard about this? I will have your heads!" He warned the maids to run out of the chamber frightening.
"Wow, uncle you're amazing! How do you make them leave just like that? Uncle when I grow up I would like to be like you" he draws the boy closer to him. "Leo, you're so young to think about what will never be yours, you're Mars not Francesco, always remember that and make sure never to speak that word out again, if you don't want to join your mother is dead" he warns the little boy. It's forbidden for any other family to thinks that way or even saying the word of becoming the next Mafias king of the circle when you're not on the Francesco bloodline. Others who jokingly speak out the word in mocking were killed and beheaded in the presence of the Francesco family. That's the rule for no common man to compare himself with Francesco.
The crown has stuck with them from ages to ages and no one has dared to cross their line if that man do wasn't dead! Everyone knows their limit and dares not to over cross it. The Francesco doesn't take shit once as a mistake in their Life's, mistake is seen as dead, killing is seen as a victory, forgiveness is seen as punishment, that's are the lines you have to understand once being In the circle. Their privacy is kept as a secret, and every century a leader is already chosen before becoming a teenager. All and to start from a young age to understand their religion and tradition they practice.
Alfonso stared at the little boy before him. "But uncle why? Why are we not given the right to be the next Mafias king"
"Because we're not in the bloodline with the Francesco. The crown is only given to them, not we"
"Hmm, I hate this" the little boy sighed, " I thought I could revenge mother dead of becoming the next lord, trying all my best to beat Marcello in everything but he always stood ahead of me! " He hit his hand on the ground. " I hated the Francesco!"
"Sh sh sh " Alfonso places a finger across his lips, "keep your voice down a little, I can see you have started with your rages but rages can kill a man. Men that act in rages against the Francesco family ended dead like chickens, and you don't want to die like one right? "
"Never," the little boy said breathing hard like someone who just finished up a fight.
"Then stay away from the Francesco treasure it's killing and contain a lot of poison. Do you want to die" he asked the little boy staring at amaze at him? "No" I nodded. " Then be a good boy and make money in the future, that what the Francesco offer theirs members money, houses, cars and last don't forget women..."; he draws the last word to him.
"So, go and joined your mates to play"
"Okay uncle" " but wait!" He stops the boy.
"Never say those words out remember if you want to live" he cut his eyes for him. Little Leonardo smiles at his uncle and runs out to play.
It has been 15minutes since the children were playing catch balls. Marcello always passes his turn and never gets sucks In the middle but when it gets the Leonardo turns, he always gets sucks and he hates it when the other kids laughed at him and most especially when Marcello wins and he doesn't. It's fucking annoying watching the one you hated win over you. Leonardo has developed the character of hated from his youngest age against Marcello for being the next Mafias king.
" Hey! This game is fucking sick!" He yells, getting tired of the praises the other kids give to Marcello especially the girls.
"What happens Leo," Marcello asked, and touched him on his shoulder. "Don't you fucking touched me!" He drags out Marcello's hands from his shoulder. "You're the cause of this! Because you taught you're going to be the next king "
"Calm down Leo, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't you fucking telling me to calm down! You're not going to be the next Mafias king I'm! "
