In a dark and secluded alleyway a scream that seemed to come from underground was heard. Inside a club, through a secret passage underground, into a dimly lit room on the floor a man was kneeling surrounded by some fierce looking men. One look at him and you know he had been badly beaten. He had a black eye and bruises all over him. There was blood streaming down his mouth. In short he was in a bad shape.
Just then the door opened and a man walked in. Even in the dim light one could see that he had really good features. He was about 5"8 ft tall, with a chiseled face and a square jawline and charming brown eyes making up his facial features. And he also had short jet black hair that seemed really silky and he had it slicked back giving him a handsome and smart look.In the button up long sleeved shirt he had on that stuck to his body you could see his well toned body. You could easily mistake him for one of those high end models. In short he was really handsome.
"Boss", the men said before bowing slightly as a sign of respect as soon as the man walked in. The man walked right past them and grabbed a seat and sat facing the kneeling man. Seeing him do that one of the men immediately kicked the kneeling man and that caused him to look up.
As soon as he locked eyes with the man before him the kneeling man shivered and immediately looked down trying to avoid those eyes.But almost suddenly the man reached out and tilted his face upwards looking straight into his eyes, he asked, "Do you know who I am"?
The kneeling man shivered how could he not know this man. He was well known in the mafia world as a very ruthless and powerful person. They said just by one look at him you could feel your knees wobble. That's how intense his aura was. They even had a nickname for him in the mafia world "The Devil Incarnate" they called him because of how ruthless he was.
Gulping down saliva he nodded feebly.
"Good", he said then let go of his face. He got up and then he continued "Then tell me who sent you" he said as he got to the table that had a large range of different torture tools. He picked up a pen knife sharpening it and then faced the kneeling man.
The man gulped and then looked up at him shivering. He looked into his eyes and all he saw was darkness. Indeed this was the devil's incarnate. He looked on in fear as he advanced towards him menancingly.
He finally broke and stammered an incoherent reply in fear, "I'll.. I'll tell you... I'll tell you".
He paused and said "Good, tell me".
The kneeling man continued in fear "It was the Santinos... It was all them.. They were the ones who sent me".
"The Santinos"?, he asked while gazing deeply at the knife in his hand.
"Yes.... yes yes it was them now please, please let me go", he continued.
"Ha ha ha ha", a rich boisterous laughter was heard in the room for a while.
"Let you go?", He asked
"You think you can just target me and go scot free?"
"No, no you have to pay for even thinking you could go against me"
"No.....no..... please..please let me go please"
With a fluid motion the pen knife in his hand went straight through the man's heart killing him instantly. A look of surprise could be seen on the man's face.
"Clean this up", Leo ordered his men before swiftly leaving the place
Leo Minetti or as he was better known to the outside world as Leo Smith was actually the leader of one of the most powerful mafia families in Lavender City; The Minetti Family. They ran the Glades District. Although not many people knew it because he kept his identity hidden
To most people he was Leo Smith a very smart, genius and handsome CEO of Smiths and Co. One of the most successful companies in Lavender City. Not many people knew what he looked like though he was very secretive and was hardly seen in public. One of the reasons he found it really easy to hide his mafia identity.
Most of what was known of him by the public were mostly rumors. Some said he was an old man who was scared of being seen in public. While others said he was probably a young and handsome CEO who loved his privacy. Either no one really knew much about him just that he was the CEO of a multi Billion dollars company.
His workers on the other hand however was aware of his personality and they found him to be cold yet no one could deny that he was really smart. He had pulled of deals and contracts so flawlessly before. And some of the female workers couldn't help but drool over his looks. He was like a greek god to most of them.
Although they weren't in the slightest bit aware that under that perfect facade was a ruthless mafia boss by the name of Leo Minetti.
48 Hours before"Hey bro, what's up?", Edgar asked a very tired looking Leo."Hm", Leo acknowledged his presence without even looking at him."Woah. You look like quite stressed out", Edgar noted."You can't even begin to imagine. With dad away settling the investors overseas and also working on something secret I don't know about, I have to take care of everything here and many other major issues. It's taxing", Leo replied."Too bad dude. See this is why I would never want to be you.""Of course. You are better off just being irresponsible and childish", Leo fired"Hey! That hurt you know?", Edgar said pretending to look hurt."Whatever. What do you want this time? Why did you come?""Heol! Are you trying to say I can't come to see you without wanting something?", Edgar asked pitifully"Yes", Leo replied blankly. "What did you do?", he asked"Nothing! Ah you really don't have much fate in me. Well for your
Knock knock. "Enter" "Miss Turner, the interview will begin shortly." "Alright. You may leave.", Cassie responded. She sighed before trying to call Sarah again. Beep Beep. The sound of the line being disconnected came through on her phone. "Once again there was no reply", she sighed again before putting down her phone. She couldn't really blame Sarah, she was a bit too harsh to her last time. Cassie sighed again before standing up from her chair. She put herself together and headed towards the room where the interview was going to take place. Today they were holding an interview for the post of Assistant to the Marketing Manager. The last one was fired due to his incompetence. And to prevent that from happening again she wanted to oversee this interview herself. She wouldn't be the one conducting the interview. She would just sit on the sidelines and watch the procedure noting down some important things or anyone who pa
"Who came to see you?", Leo asked with his brows raised."Miss Lee, Miss Turner's friend I believe", Edgar replied nonchalantly"Oh? And what did she want?", he asked relaxing on his chair."She wanted you.""What?!", Leo nearly choked on his saliva."Oh?", Edgar raised his eyes to him"I didn't mean it that way. She came asking about you.""Asking about me?""Yeah. She wanted to know your information."Leo thought about it for a while before he slowly asked in a low voice,"Well.... was she asking for herself or did she say someone sent her?"Edgar eyed his friend for a long time. Looks like Leo's feelings for Cassie ran deep. He clearly wanted to know if she was looking for him. Could this actually be a good thing?"She said she was there for a friend." Leo's eyes sparked"But I don't exactly think Miss Turner actually sent her, if that's what you wanted to know"Leo raised his eyes.
Minetti MansionLeo sat in front of his father. His father had been silent since he arrived and honestly it was beginning to get on his nerves. He was not in the mood for whatever mind games his father wanted to play with him, he thought as he sighed wearily. He glanced at his father again.Growing up, Leo couldn't exactly his father was the best father. Heck! His father wasn't even a normal father much less the best. At a very young age Leo was already being trained for when he would take over his father's position in the Mafia. At age 7, he was already being trained in martial arts. Age 10, and his father already thought he was old enough to use a gun. He remembered on his 12th birthday his father had gifted him a gun as a present. "Definitely not a normal father", Leo smirked. But then again his family wasn't a normal one anyway. But regardless of how weird Leo's father might have been, he had loved his mother. And that was one thing Leo respected about him. He had
"Nothing?", Cassie asked as she looked at Sarah. "Yes nothing. I couldn't find a record of any Leo around either Lucian Santino; which was quite understandable at first because it seemed they weren't too close but with Edgar Monroe? I was expecting to find something since they seemed really close but I couldn't find anything. It's almost as if such a person doesn't exist around them.", she replied. Cassie fell into deep thought. It's either Leo was no one significant which seemed very unlikely because they should at least be able to find something about him if he was ordinary or he wasn't an ordinary person at all. Then who was he? He was acquaintances with two very powerful people and now they couldn't find anything about him. "Anyways I think maybe I didn't dig deep enough. Maybe I should try...." "No don't", Cassie said "What? Why?", Sarah asked her dumbfounded. "No need. I shouldn't focus myself on finding some man anyway. It's not my way.
"He's here! Everyone to your stations!". These were the shouts that rang through the precinct as the police officers readied themselves for the arrival of one of the most important figure in their entire State Security Department.He walked in with a powerful aura. Calm yet powerfully he headed straight for the Chief's office ignoring all the people who had lined to greet him."Woah. Who is he?", one of the younger policemen asked an older one."Sealey", the older one replied."Detective James Sealey. One of the most brilliant detective in our entire State Department if not the entire country", he continued in awe."Woah", the younger one responded surprised."Then what is he doing here?", another young officer asked."I heard he was recently transferred to our District on Special assignment", the elder one replied."Really?", the officer responded as he looked towards the Chief's office where the man was currently shaking hand
