Chapter 7

Author: Thor
I went downstairs with Dante.

The car door opened, and my father stepped out without hurrying.

He wore a dark tailored suit and held a lit cigar between his fingers, its thin smoke drifting across his sharply defined face.

He wasn't openly threatening, but every step he took carried the weight of the whole family.

He came straight to me and looked me over carefully.

"Vincent," my father said in a low, heavy voice.

"Father," I answered.

He put a hand on my shoulder as the tip of his cigar brighte

  • They Bullied Me at Work but My Father Is the Don   Chapter 7

    I went downstairs with Dante.The car door opened, and my father stepped out without hurrying.He wore a dark tailored suit and held a lit cigar between his fingers, its thin smoke drifting across his sharply defined face.He wasn't openly threatening, but every step he took carried the weight of the whole family.He came straight to me and looked me over carefully."Vincent," my father said in a low, heavy voice."Father," I answered.He put a hand on my shoulder as the tip of his cigar brightened, then dimmed."I sent you undercover at these docks for two reasons."First, to find solid proof that Lucio was working with the Barone family against us."Second, to see how you would handle being insulted, threatened, and marked for death."You could have told everyone whose son you were on day one and had both Santo and Lucio put down."You didn't."You kept your advantage hidden, checked the books line by line, and gathered solid evidence."And when the time came and the power to pass ju

    Dante's bodyguards raised their weapons at once, with the two of us in the middle.At the sight of the standoff, Santo and Rosa screamed and ducked under the desk.Thomas's legs gave out, and he sat down hard on the floor.Tony, Paolo, and the rest of the crew huddled in a corner, trembling, all their swagger gone."Did you think my father sent men only into this office?" I kept my voice level. "By the time our men entered the building, half of them had sealed every exit. The crew you left outside was already cut off and surrounded."Lucio's expression changed as he strained to listen to the commotion outside.Outside, I heard weapons being racked, followed by short, muffled scuffles, a few screams, and then nothing at all.The doors opened again, and the bodyguards marched a few disarmed, bleeding South District soldiers into the room.Every man he'd stationed outside had been caught.The men in the room were animals in a cage.Lucio knew he'd reached the end of the road. He went for

    The room fell silent the moment those words landed.Santo's smile froze.Rosa slowly rose from the couch, unable to process what she'd heard."Whose son did you say?"The men in black coats didn't answer. They stepped aside to clear a path.An old man in a black suit walked through it.He walked slowly and calmly, but every step made the pressure in the room feel heavier.The man who had entered was Dante Ferretti, advisor to the Ferraro family.My father rarely appeared in public, and no underboss had been appointed, making Dante unquestionably the Ferraro family's most powerful public voice.The bodyguards fanned out to either side, every gun trained on Lucio's ten South District soldiers.All the color drained from Lucio's face. Only moments ago, he'd been in complete control of the room.He'd been on these docks long enough to know exactly who Dante was.He pulled himself together, stepped forward, and forced the words out. "Mr. Ferretti, this has to be a misunderstanding. I had no

    Santo's face changed.The four district bosses are supposed to be equals.But the East controls the best territory, brings in the most money, and has the most soldiers and associates.So its voice carries more weight.Santo's expression turned grim, and he muttered, "What do I do now?"Elio slammed a hand on the desk."Send out an internal notice right now. Santo stole Vincent's work, and Vincent gets the credit for the new route."I expected Santo to take the easy way out.Instead, he frowned and glanced around. Then he seemed to make up his mind.He knew someone had pulled strings to place me there. He just didn't know who it was.He could admit that he'd stolen the plan, but I still had the docks' books.Those books contained things no one could be allowed to see. He couldn't leave them with me.He had to get me out of there!All at once, the office door was kicked open.Ten soldiers marched in and formed two rows.A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in behind them.It was Sant

    I went upstairs to the HR office.Thomas came straight over and pulled me aside."Did you report Santo for stealing your routing plan?"Did you bring the auditors down on this company?"I raised an eyebrow.I hadn't sent that email, but the auditors showing up suited me just fine.I countered, "Didn't you say the plan belonged to Santo?"Even if I did take it to headquarters, if it's really his work, I'm the only one who'll be punished. So what are you worried about?"Or did you know from the start that it was mine?"That stopped him.But he recovered quickly. With a warning in his eyes, he said sharply, "The routing plan can only belong to Santo."There are powerful people above him. You can't afford to cross them. All they have to do is say the word, and you'll disappear from this city."Don't get yourself killed. Go in there and tell them you were jealous of Santo and made the whole thing up."I'll do what I can to bury this. Then leave. Go as far away as you can."I pulled my arm f

    The next day, we had a company meeting.Santo stood smiling in front of the projector, with a diagram of the new port routing plan on the screen."Headquarters has praised our new port routing plan."Keep it up, everyone. This year's bonus is locked in."A ragged round of applause went through the room.The whole crew crowded around him, showering him with congratulations and flattery.I was the only one who hadn't moved, and my whole body went cold."Santo, I made that routing plan."I had walked those docks more than a dozen times to find the best possible route.I'd sent him the final version for review the week before. He'd replaced my name with his and sent it to headquarters.The room went silent.Santo scoffed. "You? Have you ever even walked these docks? Do you know what a checkpoint looks like? And now you want to take credit for my work?"Thomas from HR said evenly, "Vincent, ambition is a good thing, but it doesn't give you the right to claim your supervisor's work."I'll re
