Chapter four

Cesare Ferrari

My Dad took a seat on the black couch in the big living room and I did same as him on the opposite one while waiting for my concocted wife who had excused herself earlier.

"She's beautiful" He smiled looking at me and my brows furrowed.

Since when did he start complimenting ladies? . That isn't my concern, all that matters is my plan works.

"And too innocent  for you to use her for your plans" 

"What do you mean?" I camly asked then continued. "I got married like you wanted. What should matter now is the next step" i replied knowing he understood what I meant. 

He wiggled his head slowly as if he was disappointed "  You and I both recall that I also said the marriage should be real now don"t we?" 

"If you're asking for proof, I can ask someone to bring the marriage certificate" . 

"The certificate isn't what I want to see. You tried your best to make it look real but you failed horribly. I studied you two earlier and the tension between you too was as clear as crystal. Did you really think Iwould believe that nonsence that you both meet at her mother's bakery?" He scoffed. 

" Or perharps did you go to buy some croissants or cake?" he asked scarstically asked and I could feel my anger rising up.

"There was no romance between you two, you didn't even pull her the seat or open the car door for her, typical of the Cesare Ferrari i know.". I rolled my eyes at his mockery. So what if I didn'ti didn't? Didn't she get out of the car or sit on the chair?

"For someone who didn't protest from the first day you were told to get married there was no need to keep an eye on you because i knew you had something off your sleeves"

"There's no point in pretending since you already figured it out.  Can we now get down to business? None of the members will know any ways" I impatiently spoke, already bored of listening to his reprimands. Time was of essence.

"My words still stand Cesare. I'll accept the Lady as your wife but you will  get what you want only when I see a slight romance between you two". He sternly said, standing up and I angrily did as he did.

"You aren't going to do this to me Dad? Why don't you see what I have to do is necessary? Why do you keep silent, allowing that bastard to keep living? " I reaved and he stopped walking. His back was now facing me.

 "I keep doing all I can for her but you do nothing!" I barked and his back tensed . My statement was brutal but it was necessary.  Still, he didn't turn.

"Se non sai quanto mi fa male, vedo il dolore nei suoi occhi ogni fottuto giorno, vedo il rimpianto e la sua ricerca di vendetta e allo stesso tempo quanto si senta impotente. Nathalia, è lì che sta morendo lentamente!" (If you don't know how hurt she is I do, I see the pain in her eyes each fúcking day, I see the regret and her quest for revenge and at the same time how  helpless she feels. Nathalia, she's in there dying slowly!"). I barked, my hand was streched out towards  the stairs.

"And you think avenging her will bring her back to her usuall self? Will it make her feel at ease?" He asked calmly but i could tell he was losing it. My Dad was good at concealing his emotions just like me but this topic was too personal.

"I fúcking do!" I countered

"And i'm going to do what ever it takes even if it means dining with my fellow demons to make it happen" I said and marched out of the house towards one of my cars. My men who stood outside knew better than not to follow me at this point.

Ignitiniting the engine, I drove like a mad man out of the mansion. I noticed a familiar car following me but just ignored it.

"Fuck!" I ruffled my hair and slammed the sterring.

At the stroke of twelve today I was suppose to be the Don of the Ferrari Mafia. My plans would be set in motion immediately after I had the power but looked at what happened. I have been running things like the Don for years now but I still needed it to be made official.

I needed to led out this anger as soon as possible before I loss it.

I stopped the car infont of one of my clubs and walked towards the entrance. Immediately the bouncers saw me, they bowed their heads and I walked inside. The club was buzzing with people as always . Some danced to the loud music while others went about their own businesses. 

My manager appoached me and bowed then led me to the basement where there were two guards standing by the door. 

We stepped inside and my lips pulled up at the sight in front of me.

"Boss, thank God you're here" the man tied to a chair breathlessly spoke. His face was barely recognisable and his clothes were ragged with dried blood. 

My men sure did a good job.

sighting a pair of plastic gloves on a table which was at the centre of the dim lid room,  I  moved towards it and slipped into the plastics.. 

"You look happy to see me" I amusingly said , walking towards him before standing infront of him with my hands crossed behind.

 "Of Course boss," he egarly responded, eyes full of hope.

"I came here to give the infor I had but they instead brought me here and messed me up like thish'' he snarled glaring at my manager by the door who instead smirked back at him.

"What do you have for me then?"

" He's going to get back at you for hijacking his shipments" 

"I already know that. Tell me something new" . I could tell he was forming it but I enjoyed seeing him cracking his brain.

He chuckled nervously "You really are wise boss.. that was all i came to tell y..

I didn't allow him to finish before landing a staggering punch on his face and he groaned. He would have fallen if not for the ropes binding him to the chair.

Not giving him the chance to regain himself, I grapped his chin harshly and made him look me in the eyes.

"Do you know who I hate most in my life ?, traditori, ratti, spie come te!" (traitors, rats, snitches like you!). I landed another punch and this time I was sure his jaws were deformed without repair. Blood was now oozing out.

"Did you really think I didn't know that you came here to spie on me unbehalf of him? Did he promise you gold inexchange for your loyalty?. Did anyone ever tell you it's impossible to serve two manster at the same time, especially if one of them is a demon?

"I'm- I'm sorry boss" He whispered breathlessly. If I'm to hit him again he'll be history .

"I gave you a chance to turn back to us but you failed now there are no second chances" . Before he could utter another word I gave him the final blow.

Removing the gloves, I dumped them on the floor and turned towards my manager.

"Get rid of him" .

"Yes boss" 

I walked towards My VIP section and saw Rico, my right hand man sitting on a red couch with a glass of tequila. His grey eyes followed me as I filled in my own glass and took a seat on the opposite sofa.

He kept staring at me without saying a word. Rico and I have been friends since childhood. His dad was the second in command after my Dad and when he died, my Dad took both him and his brother as his which was a big mistake on his part. 

We have been through alot and his IT skills have really helped the whole organisation. He kept tabs on our rivals which was how we are able to be ahead of them. He was infact the eyes of the familia.

"May I remind you that you abandoned a lady in an unfamiliar place "

"You really followed me here to tell me that?". I nonchalany asked before sipping.

Rico hopelessly wiggled his head.

"I told you from the start that this plan of yours will fail. You even had to go through the incoviniency of hacking into the police system to get her data''

"It would have worked if it wasn't for Dad's damn rules of real marriage. I mean, what's with him and such stuff?. I know him and my Mom were love birds but does that mean I have to be love sick like him?".

"If I didn't know who he is I would have thought he has a lookalike or worst he's a saint" I spat bittetly and he chortled.

"I'm sure your Dad wants the best for you Cesare" . 

Sure he does.

He leaned back on his seat, eyes on the ceiling. "I'm sorry bro"

A frown marred my forehead. "Wipe  that look off your face Rico. You look horrible " .

He chuckled sadly then stayed silent for a second.

"What's your next plan?" he asked knowing I wasn't going to back down that easily. 

I took my phone from my suite pocket and dialed a number and it was answered at first ring.

"Take her home". I commanded and turned off the call then placed it back where it was.

Sipping from my glass again, clashing my eyes with Rico's own, a crooked smile pulled my lips upwards.

"I am going to succeed in my mission, not even dad or his bloody rules can stop me".
