CHAPTER FOUR 

                     LEANDRO.

The bodies were discarded by Nicole and Devon, while I left Elis and Carl in case of the stolen crates.

I left the club feeling exhausted. 

The Callistas would have to kill me first before thinking they would dominate my city. I will kill every single one of them until there is no one left to take over the clan.

They've sent out word that I killed Charles before withdrawing to their hole, if they refuse to stay there then I won't be as kind as I was only killing two of their sons.

My thoughts drifted to the red-haired vixen from the club. The way her pretty eyes widened when she saw me was priceless, unlike last night she was dressed up today. 

Gorgeous and dangerously tempting, I have seen a lot of beautiful women but something about her stands out.

And that makes me want to erase her before she turns into a problem, who knows what the Callistas have up their sleeves, and seeing her everywhere is enough to confirm my suspicions.

The car halted in front of my penthouse and a black BMW was parked right outside, irritation flickered inside me but I wore an uninterested expression as I alighted from the car before heading inside. 

Priyanka sat on my couch long legs crossed, her dress with a large slit exposing her thighs.

If she thinks that shit is seductive then perhaps she must be mentally ill.

"Just when I thought you were going to spend the night out" She smirked when I walked in, I ignored her walking straight to the bar.

"Who let you in?" 

"Your guards had to persuade them that you called for me though, speaking of that we need to talk" She replied.

I noted that piece of information to take care of the idiots who let her in without my permission.

"Did Antonio send you?" I questioned pouring myself a full glass of whiskey, my brother and his little bitch can go to hell if they think I will help them with anything.

"He went to your house in L. A couldn't find you so he sent me here, I thought we'd concluded that you don't go rogue on anything, he says you broke the pact and went ahead with the war with the Callistas. He doesn't like it" She remarked, as if I give a fuck what that useless piece of shit I call a brother thinks.

I chugged down the contents in my glass and slammed it on the counter, she flinched at the noise and I held eye contact with her before replying.

"Tell him I don't give a damn if he isn't on this with me, I rule this city and I will do whatever I want, with or without his help. He's too much of a pussy to come tell me himself anyway sending his slut to pass a message is disgraceful to a mafia no less member of the Costa Nostra" I scoffed and she turned red glaring at me.

"Or did you come here on your own in hopes that I would fuck you again?" I raised an eyebrow and she shivered like the cheap slut that she is clenching her thighs.

"I didn't come here for you to insult me, Lean, you need to stop this blood bath you started. The Callistas have the Mexicans with them. The Irish are also making an alliance with them, they won't let this slide" She pointed.

"Is that supposed to make me change my mind? I could easily get rid of every single one of them if I wished to. You and Antonio know that, this conversation is over, and the next time you invade my personal space I will shoot your legs and make sure you won't be able to use them again" I warned even though I wanted to do that the moment I saw her on my couch.

"You can't-"

"Get out of my house now, before I change my mind and send you back to Antonio in a body bag" I threatened disrupting whatever nonsense she was going to spew.

She stood up huffing and walked out.

I called Elvis as soon as she left, there must be someone in my clan feeding them this information and if there is one thing I despise more than the people I call family, it's traitors.

"Yes, boss?" He picked up after the first ring.

"Get rid of the bastards in charge of my penthouse downtown, find the fucking bastard who's selling us out to Antonio" I ordered and hung up. 

The whiskey was starting to taste bland and I threw the glass on the wall out of anger.

The glass hit the wall with a loud crash shattering and sending shards of glass on the ground, the maids appeared a minute later to clear the mess.

My phone vibrated on the counter and I picked it up to find Cade calling.

This better be for something good.

"I found what you were looking for, the shipment was hijacked by Antonio and he's working with the Callistas, probably assured them he would take over and allow them to have their own territories" Cade disclosed, his competence and understanding that I hate mincing words and wasting time makes him one of my favorites.

If that's what my elder brother plans then he would have to up his game.

"And the other one?" I requested.

"Ah, I haven't gotten far yet but I found something interesting. The company is holding a gala in two weeks. Maybe you should pay a visit, they were smart about covering up and paying off the cops" He replied.

Of course.

"If you find anything let me know," I remarked.

"Yes boss, is there anything else?" He asked.

I thought of the vixen, I don't know why I find myself replaying that night when she linked her arm with mine, the fact that she didn't even care to speak with me, and left the elevator as soon as she got what she wanted.

Maybe she was telling the truth, it might be a coincidence that she found her way to the basement of the club.

But I was never one to believe in coincidences. She showed up last night at the hotel then the club today, and somehow found her way to the basement no one except my men knows about.

"Find out everything you can on Delia Herrick" I replied and he hummed, the clicking of his keyboard in the background.

"Who is she?" He asked.

"A person of interest" 

Or someone who was sent by my enemies, I need to find out more about her and if it turns out my suspicions are correct then I will eliminate her before she turns into a distraction.
