Capo Crimini ~ Mafia boss [Don]
Damien's POV.
I got home and went straight to lay on my bed. I quickly transfer the money Tuck wanted to his account and then I started thinking about Charlotte. I didn't know what I'm supposed to do. How can I just sleep with her to prove that I don't love her? Why can't she just accept the fact that we can never be lovers?
Should I call her?
Was the thing I was debating about. Don't get me wrong, I do care about her but I don't love her. This is not just about her being a Carson or the fact that she's three years younger than me. This world is too dangerous for her. She's already a Carson and now she wants to be a knight too. That's a death wish.
My phone started ringing and I looked at the caller who was none other than Cassandra. Why can't she leave me too? She's worst then Charlotte. I could just kill her but I can't do that just because she's harassing me.
I kept rejecting her but she wouldn't have it. She would just call again as soon as I reject the call.
"What do you want Cassandra?" I asked finally picking up the call.
"Is that how you going to be speaking to me when I'm your wife, babe?"
"Keep dreaming Cassandra." I sat on the bed annoyed with the fact she thinks she will be my wife. "Now what the hell do you want?" I asked.
She explained everything, telling me what I should do and stuff. I didn't even have the energy to debate or refuse because I knew, in the end, I would just agree with it. This could ruin lives and I can't live with that so I accepted and quickly cut the call.
I finally made up my mine about Charlotte and so I dialed Charlotte's number and she didn't pick up, it just kept ringing. 'Pick the call Charlotte please.'
I guess she changed her mind after all.
It was half-past-twelve and I couldn't sleep I kept thinking about everything. Having a heart condition, being involved in illegal fights, being the Capo Crimini, hating my only family alive and two crazy girls chasing after me. That's not how I planned my life when I was a kid, it was never how I would think my life would turn out.
The only Knight alive, with a heart condition and yet everything in my life is bad for my heart.
My phone started ringing again, I just hope it's not Cassandra again. I looked at the caller and it was none other than my ex Charlotte Carson.
"Hi." She said greeting me, I knew she was nervous by the way she said hi.
"Hey." I didn't know what else to say. If she picked the call when I called her then I would have a lot to say. I forgot everything I prepared to say to her.
What do you tell your ex that you dated for four years?
"How yo--"
"Why didn'-- " we both spoke the same time. "Sorry." I apologized.
"It's fine. How you?"
"Why did you call Charlotte? I know it's not about my health."
"Of course, I care about your health Damien."
"Why did you call?" I asked ignoring what she said.
"I-I-- Why did you call ?"
"Why didn't you pick up?"
"I was busy."
"With what?" I know I don't have any rights to ask her that but she wasted my damn time not picking up.
"I was just setting a date for three weeks from now."
"What date?" I asked. People might think I'm jealous or something but I definitely have to know if she is with someone.
"I have to give a public apology to what I did to the people and stuff." Who did she offend to apologize in public? They definitely going to bring every bad thing she ever did.
"What stuff?" I asked confused.
"You didn't call to interrogate me, Damien, what do you want ?"
"You the one that called."
"I know, but I saw your missed calls." She explained and I knew I shouldn't have said that to her.
"Who's with you now?"
"My best friends." She answered as if I knew everything about her.
"Names?"
"You already met them Damien, Layla, and Cassandra."
"Can you come over tomorrow night?" I asked.
"Sure. What time?" She asked.
"Eight is fine. By the way, Charlotte, don't tell anyone. Especially Cassandra."
"Why not?" She asked but I quickly cut the call.
*******
The next morning I woke up late for my mission. I rushed to the warehouse but I was too late. Diego is fucking with me. He did it on purpose to leave without me.
I should probably remind him of who the boss is.
I waited for hours, sitting in my office for them to come back. They so damn lucky I have so much paperwork to do. I could ask that asshole cousin of mine to help me with the company, but I promised to never see him again.
Hours passed and I lost my patient of waiting for them to come back from the mission so I just left my office. On my way out of the warehouse, I saw Diego arrive.
Something must have happened for them to arrive so late.
"I need a drink." Diego stated as he walked passed me.
"What happened? and who gave the order for you guys to leave without me?"
"The bloody cops arrived at the deal." He said.
"Your brother is a cop, Diego. So don't come here with that shit."
"Moerat was there. He had his own team, and I forgot my phone so Tuck couldn't get hold of me." He explained.
"Why didn't he call me?" I asked and then it hit me. I left my phone at home. "I have to go home."
"Bye." Diego waved as I got in my car and left.

It's finally time for me to just get her out of my life. She'll always be my first but that's all she'll ever be.
Time passed so fast and it was finally almost eight. I didn't even know what to do. I walked downstairs and unlock the door just in case she comes and I'm not ready.
I quickly went into the kitchen thinking what should I say, do, or anything.
How do you even survive a minute with your ex in the same room? Let alone being alone with them the whole night.
I heard someone walk inside and I knew it was charlotte.
"Hey." I greeted her coming from the kitchen.
"You seriously scared me Damien." She said turning to face me. She's always been so dramatic.
"It's my house." I said. "Now let's go." I told her as I walked passed her.
"Where we going, I didn't know it's a d--"
"You talk a lot, Just follow me." I went out of my house and she just followed as she closed my door behind her.
"Seriously where we going?" She asked and I ignored her. I got in my car and she just stood there staring at me.
"Come in." I told her and she did it. If I was her I would definitely never trust my ex that broke up with me.
The whole car ride we were both quiet. None of us spoke to each other. She used to always have a lot to say but thank God she doesn't talk much today.
"What are we doing here?" She asked as we arrived at the hotel.
"It's a hotel where people--"
"I know that. Why are you being so cold Damien?" She asked me and I ignored her getting out of my car and she followed me as she took her stilettos off running after me.
"Room 125." I told the reception and she just gave me a flirty smile.
"Mr knight?" She asked as I nod my head and took the keys from her.
We took the elevator and I pressed the room number. I could see she was angry at the fact I was ignoring her.
"Are you done being angry?" I asked as we got inside the room.
"Why are you acting like an asshole to me?" She questioned me ignoring my question.
"I'm not." I answered as I shrugged my shoulders.
"Then why were you walking so fast?"
"I always walk like that Charlotte."
"Fine." She rolled her eyes sitting on the couch as if it was her own house. "Damien."
"What?"
"You see you so rude."
"Fine, then I will not even talk anymore."
"I'm sorry." She apologized and I nod.
"Want a drink?" I asked and she shook her head.
"I don't drink anymore." She said making me burst into laughter.
The day Charlotte Carson doesn't drink is the end of the world. I don't even know how she drinks so much and never passes out.
I chuckled "Vodka maybe?"
"Why you so eager on getting me a drink. I don't drink Damien." She answered getting up and standing in front of me angry. "You up to some--"
I Kissed her hungrily, thrusting my tongue inside her mouth interrupting whatever she was going to say. I wanted to stop so many times because I knew it was wrong on so many levels. But I needed to feel her.
Just one more time and I promise I won't ever have to meet her again.
I hated how she was the woman I hate and want the same time but there was something else I wasn't telling her tonight. I guess I'll never be the one to tell her.
I'll never tell her the fact that I'm supposed to be engaged to her best friend.
I couldn't even tell her I'm sorry. I just took her to bed.
*****
I quickly got out of bed and went to the kitchen. When I called the hotel I did order for them to bring me sleeping pills.
I quickly mixed the 4 sleeping pills in the Orange juice and went to go give the juice to Charlotte.
"Here." I said to her as she sat on the bed.
"I didn't want anything Damien." She said refusing to take the juice.
"I thought it was your favorite or something. It's fine I'll just go take it back. Sorry for bo--"
"It's fine. I'll drink it." She took the juice from me.
I knew it would be so easy guilt trapping her.
"It tastes funny but nice."
"Anything else you need?" I asked trying to keep her busy so she could just sleep.
"I need answers."
"Charlotte no." I quickly refused.
"What were you doing the whole year last year?" She asked ignoring the fact that I told her no.
"What I always do."
"Killing people>" She handed me the juice and I took it.
"I never killed anyone."
lies, lies, lies, I just don't remember how many people I killed.
"Do you lov--"
"I have to take this back to the kitchen." I interrupted her as I ran out of the room.
Every fucking second she gets she asks me that damn question.
I sat down on the couch not planning on going back to the room.
How long does it even take for those sleeping pills to kick in?
"Damien." I heard her voice and turned to look at her. "You avoiding me."
"I for--".
"Don't lie. I know you, Damien. I knew you were up to--" She yawned. "You up to something."
"I was umm looking for your earings." I told her and she looked at me angry.
"My earings are in the room."
"Let's talk." I can't believe I even said that. She's going to use this chance to ask about that stupid thing again.
Here we go.
"Do you love me?" Charlotte asked
I knew she was going to ask that stupid question.
"Charlotte, let's go to the room first."
"No. Give me my shoes first." I handed her shoes and she didn't even put it on. She had it in her hands pointing it on me. "Did you drug me?" She asked yawning again.
"Of cousre not."
"Then why did you give me that Orange drink. What was in that drink, Damien?"
"You are my only cousin's stepsister I would never drug you." And it was true. As much as I don't like her I would never drug anyone, including her and her stupid brother.
"What was in the drink?" She asked taking a step forward.
"Nothing."
"You know, I'm allergic to sleeping pills." She said giggling.
Seriously who the fuck would be allergic to sleeping pills?
"Charlotte we have to get you to t--"
"I'm joking." She said going back to the room, and I followed her.
"Are you serious?" I asked as she got in the bed.
"Yes. I'm just sleepy."
