Broken SilverCode

I watched the smile on my father’s face quickly morph into a grim as he shot up from his chair.The movement caused his juice glass to tumble over ,spilled its contents on the floor.“Salvatore!”,my mom stood from her chair.My father’s body tensed and his face turned stone.“Anya ,the television.Nowww!”he roared.I quickly rushed and turned it on,my body buzzing at the tone of his voice. “CEO By Day,Mafia Boss By Night:Is Moretti Industries just a front?”The news caption read.I sucked in a breath as I turned to face the rest of my family.Their faces mirrored mine and the voice of the newscaster faded as we regarded each other.“Salvatore”,my mom whispered grabbing unto his arm.“Fuck!”,Cassio my brother hissed.“This is bullshit.”This wasn’t the first time news about our family business had reached the public ear.But never had it been so blatant ,never so damning.It had always remained whispers and rumours in the shadows,even if people suspected it.Fear,cold and sharp snaked i

Earlier in the day…..“To what do I owe this visit,Don Silva?”,Salvatore Moretti asked his voice clipped but controlled.He straightened,his posture a mask for the turmoil within him.“I do not want to believe that you lost your way and happened to step in here.”He gestured to the guard who had come to inform him of Don Silva’s presence,a flicker of steel in his eyes.“Leave us.”The guard quickly scurried out.“You would like to hear what I have to say in your office I presume.Walls have ears as they say. Who knows what might be in the news next.”,Son Silva smirked never taking his eyes off Salvatore.“Do not patronise me,Don Silva!”,Salvatore responded his voice in a rasp.Don Silva stared at him with amusement.Salvatore would never let go off his pride even when he was at the verge of losing it all.He had to give it to him but this was what it was.He had what Salvatore needed at the moment and he too wanted something in return.When it was evident to Salvatore that Don Silva was

Pingggg”, the notification sound from my phone cut through my reverie.“MEET ME AT THE HOUSE IN TEN.”I groaned inwardly at the curtness of the the message from my grandfather. He was the only one who knew how to get under my skin and not regard me with the safe fear as my men.Despite that, he’s the only person I show any ounce of emotion towards.The reason I still had a seat as Capo and an army of loyal men to lead.That is until I weed out all my enemies stirring up matters behind the scenes.This was all because of the my father and his disgrace of leadership as Capo.The mere thought of him was like bile in my throat.Tossing the remnants of my drink down,I picked up my keys and made way to the house to find out what the meeting with grandfather was about.“Boss.”, the men who littered the compound greeted with a slight bow as I switched off the engine. I responded with a light nod and make way into the building.“Grandpa?” I called out closing the door behind me. He stood at the to

Chapter 7Kian’s POV I could feel Grandpa’s eyes on me almost throughout the whole drive to the Moretti mansion. It felt as though he had something to say and was struggling to keep it down.I knew it was probably the fact that I had not stopped the car in the middle of the street to say I wasn’t going to go ahead with this anymore.Not that I had not thought of it. But the veiled threat Grandpa issued with the Capo seat, was the only thing keeping me in check.I hated the situation he put in me but I what I hated even more was the fact that I didn’t have the upper hand in it.“Fuck it!”, I mentally kicked myself for letting things get out of hand.There was no going back now.Soon we pulled up in front of the Moretti mansion.My fury wouldn’t let me appreciate the beauty of the place.Perhaps if a different occasion had brought me here I would have.I quickly got down ready to get in and get out of there in the shortest possible time.“You could at least school your expression like

Chapter 9Kian’s POV.My eyes kept darting back in the direction of where Anya had scurried off to.I had meant to ask that question aloud because I needed her to turn around so she could see me.Watching her squirm and wanting to run gave me a great kick, that needed to be studied.I was pleased at the effect I had on her. And was ready to make her feel that way for the rest of her life being married to me.That was her punishment for being a pawn in my grandpa’s little game.Her punishment for making me break my SilverCode.I paid no heed to the discussion that was going on between her father Salvatore and grandpa.“ Where did she ran off to? And why was she not back?”, I thought to myself.“ Did I scare her too much that she did not want to come down anymore?”“ Already searching for your bride, huh?”, Darryl whispered behind my ear.“For someone who is not interested in this marriage, you seem quite taken up by her.”, he added. I did not have to turn to know that he had that sly
