WHO REALLY IS DR WOLFE

Dr Edward Wolfe’s pov~

Three years ago, I did the unthinkable: I killed my best friend and closest ally out of anger. 

FLASHBACK TO THREE YEARS AGO>>>>>>

I have to hide who I am to find the one woman who can set me free from myself.

My name is Luca Moretti. a professional serial killer for the Serrano Pact Mafia.

I come from a very long line of twisted men who have risked it all for everything they want.

Even the taste of a woman who belonged to a dangerous man.

My father had fallen in love with Edna Serano, the beautiful young wife of his rival, and their affair had birthed a perilous game.

To keep her for himself, my father tried to assassinate the head of the Serano family.

My father had lost, and in his pride, he gambled away our most prized possession, the northern territory.

He pledged 40 years of my life in service to the Serrano family.

 They trained me to be their prized butcher, killing everyone and anyone who stood in their way as craftily as I can.

My only friend was Antonio Serano, the heir to the Serano empire.

Or so I thought.

Now, a new gang is in town running things, and Antonio Serano is about to sell my birthright to them.

As revenge for killing their men, Marco’s brother had raped my daughter ashley.

How could my friend Antonio do this to me?

I traced them to their secret meeting and burst in. Antonio and Marco, the head of the Armadillo Gang, were shaking hands.

“I worked too fucking hard to keep his men in line, Antonio! How could you give my territory to the armadillo gangs? You never spoke to me about this! You know what his brother did to my daughter, Ashley,” I thundered, banging my hand on his work desk.

 He sat there motionless. As his eyes pierced mine, he was unfazed by my dramatics.

“Your territory? Your father gambled away your inheritance 40 years ago, Luca. It belongs to the Serrano family.” Marco, the leader of a popular new gang in Italy, knew the mafia head in the country, and they offered to manage them for a f*e.

“Can't you see what they are doing, Antonio? It's the same way we get our assets. They have the power I warned you about. Now you want to put my inheritance on the chopping board!” I roared.

“We had a deal, Antonio: you sign my papers to me, and I walk away,” I announced.

 He flared in anger.

“I lead this family, Luca, so you cannot tell me how to rule. You may control that territory, but it's mine to give. Do not forget your place, Luca Morretti,” he paused before continuing.

 “My father’s debt to yours is paid, Antonio; you know the deal. After 40 years, the territory passes to my bloodline,” I roared.

Someone clapped before stepping out of the shadows.

His eyes glinted in the bright lighting of the grand Serrano living room.

His smile was crooked. I knew his venom anywhere. Dante Serrano, Antonio’s twin brother.

He was the Loki of the family.

The one we always had to watch out for.

“Good show, my old friend,” he started before standing behind his brother, his eyes on him as he slowly said

“My father won’t be dumb enough to sign the biggest territory in the north to you; your daughter’s reputation precedes her, and it’s hurting our image,” Dante, Antonio’s twin brother, started.

“You know that will exists, and I know you are searching for it right now, Antonio, but I'm telling you when it's found, I will not sit still and let you destroy 40 fucking years of my life. The Moretti family has paid its dues; you don't own me anymore,” I breathed, embracing the words with gratitude.

“My family saved you from your debt and your disgrace …” he spat on the floor.

“My family was very fair, and your father paid a good price and gave you a good life. It was your father who sold 40 years of your life away because he couldn't control his dick and gambling habits; he signed his inheritance away and made you pick up the slack!” He slammed his fist on his table before pointing at me.

“And even though your whore of a daughter, Ashley, is hell-bent on disgracing our good name, I'm the only one left solving the problem!” Antonio barked before getting up. 

“She killed my brother, a good upright of the law, Luca; there’s video evidence to prove it. My brother was the first in our family to infiltrate deep into the police network, and you know how well that has worked out for us.” He turned to Antonio, giving him a nod. He sighed and looked back at Luca angrily.

“Now if you don’t want it getting out, you better fucking behave!” Marco smirked, a cunning bastard. I should have seen this coming.

“His brother raped her!” I cursed, pointing at the man smirking at the end of the room.

“That bastard raped my daughter; its right there on that tape, and you are going to let them blackmail us like this, Antonio? You are just going to let Marco get away with it! What happened to being brothers? What happened to being best friends for life?” I asked, my eyes red with anger.

He was quiet, and I heard Marco laugh, “Raped her? Luca, your daughter gets paid to get fucked; she’s a whore. She chose that life; deal with it. If it’s any consolation, I offered to take the baby after it’s born, that is, if she bears me a nephew to replace my dead brother.” He chuckled lazily, and it irritated me.

I reached for him; he decked me, but I saw it coming. I grabbed him and tossed him hard against the wall, and all of a sudden, I could see him trembling with weakness, his eyes darting from my boss back to me.

I heard a gun cock behind my head.

“Lay one finger on him and I'll blow your brains all over my new carpet, Luca; let him go,” Antonio finished.

I let Marco go, and he scampered away from my grasp before stepping back. I turned to Antonio.

“First they killed my wife, Aileen, and now my daughter is at their mercy. 40 years I've given my life to the sorranno pact! To your family, but no more.” I turned away from him.

“If you walk away, Luca, you become an outcast; you and your bloodline will be stripped from this family, and you get nothing, nothing at all.” 

Anger washed through me, and I wanted to stab him with the knife in front of me on the table.

He was never my brother; they were always my bosses.

And i now realise that i have been the fool, the pawn, used, and retired

“I already have nothing...”

I walked away; I walked out a free man from the Serrano Pact, no more Antonio’s silent butcher.

Drowned in my loss and taste for revenge, I buried myself in the mountainside.

40 years enslaved, trained to feel nothing, a butcher for the Sorranno family, and now, when my bloodline is moments away from getting back what is rightfully theirs, my daughter Ashley decided she didn't want Daddy’s money anymore and she could make hers and be free.

So she broke my heart; she joined one of those new popular sites popping up online, and her naked pictures suddenly flooded the internet.

Labeled the father of a whore. 

Earth was my element, and I found solace amongst the hard rocks. His exiled twin brother Dante found me a few weeks later.

And he made me lust after what my aching heart hoped to hear.

He had convinced me of the worst.

“You have a choice, Luca: kill him or watch your inheritance go to your daughter’s rapist.”
