Chapter 7

Author: Peachy
Julian dropped to his knees the second he walked in. He started sobbing.

"Caspian, you're killing me!" he cried. He played the depressed victim. "I can't take it anymore! Please, take the posts down!"

I noticed a few of my mother's captains. They were watching him with pity.

Julian looked down. He smirked. He looked up. He was all tragedy and despair again.

The manipulative little rat. He was trying to secretly record me. He wanted to catch me bullying him in front of a crowd.

I stood up. I sma

    "Don, it's me." I spoke coldly. I stared at the hopeless woman in front of me.The old boss sounded exhausted. "Caspian, how are you holding up?""I'm filing for divorce." I didn't sugarcoat it. "Get your lawyers ready. Cut all the ties."Dead silence on the line. Valeria turned pale as a ghost. "Your daughter broke her vows. She almost got me killed," I said. "Looking at her makes me sick. The alliance is dead."The Don knew what it meant. He lost my family's backing. He started breathing hard. "Caspian, calm down. Let's talk about this..."Beep. Beep.The line went dead. The old man probably had a heart attack.Valeria reached for her gun. Her phone rang. She answered it. Her face dropped."What? Our laundering network is frozen? Eastside shipment got hijacked?" Her voice shook. "How? Our routes are secure!"I laughed. "Forgot to mention. Yesterday, my family cut off all your shadow banks. Oh, and I sent your defense layouts to your rivals."Valeria slammed the phone shut. She glar

The manipulative little rat. He was trying to secretly record me. He wanted to catch me bullying him in front of a crowd.I stood up. I smashed my fist right into his face. Crack. His jaw dislocated instantly. He hit the floor hard."Gentlemen," I told the crowd. "Meet Julian. Twenty-nine. Profession: mob widow's lapdog."Julian clutched his broken jaw. He stared at me in shock."Eight years ago, he was a pet for a cartel widow. He only ran back here because her new husband put a hit on him." I stepped on his chest. "Even better, he's a Snitch. Ratted out his peers to the cops."The pity on my men's faces vanished. It turned to pu

    The chat logs made me laugh out loud. The fixer read them out. Every word hit like a nail:"Dear Bruno. Heard things are tough. Your five-year-old daughter got killed in a crossfire. You couldn't afford guards? Too bad.""I know you want revenge on the guys who took your turf. Guess what? I have Caspian's safe house address.""Go. Make that hypocrite Consigliere pay in blood."I gripped my phone tight. My chest wound twitched with rage.This sick boy toy actually used a father's grief. He used it to get me killed!"Boss, there's more," the fixer said. "The Commission checked the timeline. Julian sent this right when he was on the roof. Right when he was crying and threatening to jump."It all made sense. Julian faked his suicide attempt. He drew Valeria's elite guards away. He left me wide open. Bruno came to kill me. That broke the ultimate rule. Plotting to murder a Made Man. By mafia law, you pay for that with your life."Boss. The Commission wants a sit-down. The Costas are offe

    I kept my eyes closed. I thought about how this joke of a marriage started.Five years ago, our two mafia families tied us together. It cemented an alliance.The first year, she treated me like dirt. I was her biggest burden.I spent six months trying to treat her right. Her books didn't balance. I cooked them for her. She was targeted for a hit. I took the bullet for her. She demanded total privacy in the estate. I agreed without a word.She started a reckless turf war. She lost the family five million in weapons. I never blamed her. I quietly paid it off from my own accounts. I just wanted to see her smile. I thought she was warming up to me. We started sharing real power. Then Julian came back.I will never forget that sit-down dinner.Julian downed half a bottle of whiskey. He threw a drunken arm around me. He mocked me in front of the whole family."You know what, Caspian?" He whispered sick words in my ear. "Val used to decant my bourbon every morning. She cooked pasta for me

    "How is this possible..." Valeria stared at her blood-soaked hands. Her voice shook with panic.She finally realized this wasn’t special effects. It wasn’t a movie. It was dozens of real knife gashes. They nearly ended my life.I looked at her breaking down and smirked. I didn't get to speak. A heavy dizziness hit me. The world twisted. Blood loss dragged my body into total darkness.When I opened my eyes again, the room reeked of bleach.My freshly stitched chest ached. A new blood bag dripped life back into my veins. Valeria sat on the leather sofa across the room. Her legs were crossed. She kept flicking a limited-edition metal lighter. Click. Clack. The sound grated on my nerves. She avoided my cold stare. But she had to hide the truth. She almost murdered her husband. She quickly sat up straight. She put on her usual arrogant mask."I talked to my father," she said. She sounded like she was throwing change to a beggar. "I know Bruno really came after you."She paused. "Look,

    In the video, Valeria publicly humiliated me in front of the Family. "I can't stand Caspian anymore. He got jealous and hired a makeup artist to fake a kidnapping. What's next? Is he going to actually burn a place down?"She paused. She looked right into the camera. She declared to everyone:"He's unstable. He's extreme. When I divorce him and strip him of his rank, don't fall for his lies anymore.""I want you all to hold me to this. In three months, I will strip his Consigliere title. Then I'll marry my love, Julian! We'll invite you all!"The crowd went wild. "You tell 'em, Boss!""Damn right! Marrying a useless man only drags our Family down!""We support you!"Surrounded by the cheering mob, Julian nodded happily. He slipped the diamond ring on. He smirked. He looked smug. He didn't look suicidal at all. I put my phone down. I was going to find my private doctor. Just as I reached the door, I heard the Don on his phone. "I sent you the pictures! Caspian is really dying! He t
