Standing up I bark orders to Calvo about the guns and stuff we have to carry in case of any emergency and I quickly run up the flight of stairs to my room,
Entering I the strong steel smell hits my nose hard. Blood.
My room smells blood, I wanted it to. Whenever I enter my room I need this smell to remind me of the past and bloodshed I had to spill in order to prove myself and to rise in power.
I am not just Maximus I am Maximus Marchetti the capo my bratva.
I swiftly walk into my closet and pulled out a black jean and kept my t-shirt on, I carefully fill my holster and check everything in place and walk out.
I run as possible as I can to the entrance, even though Leonardo hid his daughter behind my back I have a soft spot for him. No matter whatever he does I like him, because he was the reason for my existence.
I never felt unloved when I was near him. A good father he was.
I am sure he would have loved his so-called daughter more….
"Let's go" Calvo's voice brings me back from my daze.
"Yeah, let's go…." I murmur, by the time I was out Beto brought the Audi right in front.
"Hop in boys, it's going to be a long long ride." he sigh heavily and turns his head in another direction while I sit in front and calvo behind me, by the time he realises I am not going to be sitting next to he started to grumble, "why don't you come next me! I HATE U!"
"No! He will sit only next to me!" Bee caught hold of my hand, is here time for all these silly fights?
"Boys! Be responsible, for god sake DRIVE!"
Behind me I can hear Calvo's sigh and Bee hands loosen from mine.
"Yes boss!" Both the boys laugh to their full and finally but slowly the car moves.
"Go fast Bee, we don't know what awaits us…" I check the compartments for an extra gun for Bee and luckily one pops out.
After approximately an hour of travel we reached a cottage.
The cottage was in the middle, lush and green garden was around it. The garden is full of flowery plants, perfectly trimmed grass. Even in the dark it is beautiful.
This home doesn't look like a house where a consilege stays, but a place where a happy family stays. Happiness is a word that as a capo I never want for.
"Leonardo…." I call him as I walk down the rocky path and my feet stop in front of a wooden door, beautiful carved.
"Maximo!" I could hear Leo's voice somewhere far away inside but still his voice carried the panic.
"Maximo!" again I hear him, but somewhere near….
"Leo…." his feet carry him to me but the rug under feet just pulls him and he falls in front of me with a thud.
"Oh my!" cavio and I come forward to pull him up,"be careful old man!" Cavio mocked.
"Leonardo.." I look into his worried eyes. There is no life.
That girl has a lot of power over him.
"Come let's sit and talk" Bee suggests. Nice idea.
"Come"slowly calvio walks beside him and brings him into his office.
Leonardo sits on his chair very slowly like he is a hundred year old.
"What happened?" I question.
"My daughter, she is kidnapped by alexandro...he wants something in return if we want to hand over her back."
My mind again stops and starts revolving around me.
"What does he want?" calvo frown, even before leonardo openhis mouth to answer, I murmur "my sister".
Viviana.
"No." I bite my teeth together, he won't get her from me, not even her hair.
I stand up very quickly and walk out of the room, "no no no maximo! Please help me!"
I said I won't" I spit out, "you hid your daughter from everyone's eyes and kept her safe and sound. Now you want me to sacrifice my sister? A girl who is already broken?"
I look straight into his eyes.
"I can understand maxi, but can you atleast try to negotiate with him? What if he has another offer?"
"I am not ready to save your girl!" I shout a loud and walk out of the house furiously, how dare he ask me to help!!!!??
"Start the car Bee"I say once I notice the boys are near me.
Quietly Bee start the car and we zoom away from the home.
