Our Promise: Vincenzo Garcia Chapter 25
AriaWe said our goodbyes to the Lambertis, and the driver took us to the infamous Garcia Factory. Many who had either worked or been there stepped out traumatized.From the inside, the heavily protected Garcia Factory looked like an innocent paper mill, but those affiliated with the Garcias knew better.May it be money laundering, forging documents, sending out trucks to deliver and spread the words about their product—the Garcias could do it all.At one point, they were big enough to give the Lambertis and the Alfonzos a run for their money—but with Fabio Garcia out of the picture, rumor had it a lot had changed.As we walked through the building, many women went above and beyond to grab Vince’s attention. From accidentally dropping a pencil and bending so low, we could see their panties from under their uniforms to brushing his shoulder, not giving a shit I was standing right next to him.Vince didn’t forget to acknowledge every single one of them, showing me this was not his first

Vincenzo‘I have high hopes for you.’ Fabio Garcia, the man I used to call dad, had once told me.After we had lost mom, the unborn baby boy, and my brother Gian in a tragic house fire due to miscommunication, he hadn’t always been the best father, but at that time, I didn’t know any better.I could still remember how he used to leave me in the care of his brother, my deceased uncle—while he and Nic went away on ‘business trips.Might I remind you? Nic was still extremely young.Dad was afraid he would lose his heir the same way he had lost the love of his life and my brothers. He couldn’t bare the thought of going through another heartbreak—so he dragged poor Nic around like a bag of dirt while I, who at that time didn’t have much value—had to stay with uncle.Uncle Dotard, as Fabio nicknamed him, used to be his lawyer and lived in Canada with his daughter and wife.I can’t exactly remember at what age—I think I was around five—but somewhere along the way, uncle Dotard adopted a todd

Vincenzo“I thought you’d never ask.” Nico opened the dusty book, flipping through the pages. “Every 4th of the month, a secret and private auction is held in a secret location.” He said. “The location changes monthly, and you can only get in through a special invite.”“How did Fabio get in?”“Your father went by the name of the peddle man.” Nico pulled a red devil mask from in between the pages as a loud cackle escaped my lips. “He was well known and so heavily anticipated, they saved him for last.”“So he really was a villain?” I grabbed the mask from Nico’s hand, waving it back and forth. Apparently, he took his job very seriously.“These are the names of the associates and their phone numbers.” Nico ignored me, showing me a list. “Fabio used to call them from burner phones, making sure they couldn’t recognize his voice.”With my finger, I scanned through the unfamiliar aliases and stopped at the name of the supposed supplier. “This man knew his identity—didn’t he?” I tapped the pa

I wasn’t supposed to laugh at him, better yet—I wasn’t supposed to laugh at his words, but I couldn’t help myself.Who was this Donny guy and why had I never met him?Too ashamed to read further, I folded the paper and stared ahead. It turned out Fabio had also left me some diary from h

AriaFooling Vince and making him believe it was absolutely necessary for us to stop by every warehouse to stop the feud between our men made me feel bad.It was important, but not half as important as me figuring out whatever was going on in that basement.“He’s going to hate me for this,” I told Angelo, who wouldn’t be joining me today. According to him, that would only create more distance between Vince and me, and after seeing that hot new tutor—distance was the last thing we needed.I didn’t intend to call Vince a terrible husband, but he left me no choice.“Just play the game, gain his trust, make sure you end up at the factory—and get to that basement,” Angelo spoke. “Whatever is down there could be of value to the family.”“I know,” I said. “That still doesn’t mean I can’t feel bad.”“About what?” Angelo’s tone changed. “A man that doesn’t want you?”At times his direct words were enough to make me drown, but until now, all Angelo said was reality.“Angelo, did you see Luis’ n

Aria“I’m the problem in this marriage?” His words made me chuckle. Last I remembered, he had not instructed me to stay put.“Where did you get these things?” I reached out to touch his shoulder, but Vince stepped back.“We have to go.”“No, wait!” I called out, making him stop in his steps. “D-do you know how much money we can make selling those?”“As well as put a target on our backs,” Vince said. “It wouldn’t be that much different from suicide.”“Oh, my god.” I squealed. “This is like heaven!”Vince wrapped his hand around my wrist. “Aria, let’s go.”“Does your uncle know about this?” I placed my hands on top of his, my eyes begging him to give me an answer.“No.”“I figured. If he did, you wouldn’t have to marry me.” I said my thoughts out loud. “If it’s respect and power you’re after, here’s your key.” My hands reached for one of the weapons.“I’m not—““Boom.” I winked, pointing it at him. “Enough to blow up a household.”Bothered, Vince placed his hand on top of the trigger as

AriaWhen Vince told me I was allowed to join him, I thought it would just be the two of us. Funny enough, that was not the case. He was driving a large truck, and we were stuck in a small space in the front with two other guys.‘I’ll need someone to help me unload these boxes, and I can’t possibly put my wife to work.’ Vince came up with the perfect solution to his problem. Yes, I was his problem, and he didn’t want to be alone with me.At least, that’s what I thought—but strangely enough, he appeared to be in a good mood and smiled a lot.“I’m really glad you could join us, boss.” One of the boys who had practically been hanging over my shoulders said for the tenth time.“I told you to call me Aria.” I reminded him. “I’m not much older than you, so don’t make me look old.”“In that case, you can call me AJ.”“Yes, I know.” It felt like our conversations were going in a loop, and I didn’t know how to end it. A reminder that after today, I would not tag along anymore.“The two of you

AriaWandering off, I skipped inside the warehouse, trying not to grab anyone’s attention. Everyone was occupied with work, I was near invisible, and they didn’t even notice me.Maybe Christian should rethink his security.The first thought that occurred to me was to steal something from his office, so I walked to the halls, which were also unprotected. Either Christian didn’t keep valuable stuff around, or he trusted his men enough to believe they wouldn’t do anything they weren’t supposed to.Would he have CCTV around?No, I strongly doubted that. He looked like one of those typical pricks that knew how to persuade his wife to have wild sex in his office.Rumor had it. That’s how his daughter Siena was created.Standing in front of his office, I knocked on the door. “Hello?” I called out, but there was no answer.In a hurry, I opened the door, which was not even locked, and made a run for his coat. If he had come straight from home, there had to be something inside his pocket.“This
