By the time we walk in our home my mind is already blank and fear of losing my sister slowly creeps into my collar and sleeves I quickly brush it off and I quicken my steps to the right wing of the manson.
I cross the first door and then stop at the second, what would she be doing right now? Sleeping?
My fingertips touch the big wooden door and I push it slightly open and my eyes directly land on the sleeping beauty, my Viviana.
She is curled up in the middle of the bed and there is a lavender color duvet drawn over her.
She is flawless...I can't sacrifice my girl to a beasty called Alexandro.
I close the door without making any noise and walk back to my room to start everything again from where I left. My sleep.
Climbing on the bed I place both my hands behind my head and close my eyes with a sigh…
Ring ring ring.. Again the sound erupts and flows into my ears, but it is not from the night stand I think somewhere far from me. Which phone? The one in my office? No no it is not possible...one in the kitchen? Urgh! I groan and turn and pull myself into a restless sleep, all of sudden the ring stops in the middle. Somebody would have picked it up, I metally answer myself and sinked into a good sleep.
I open my eyes to the light is leaking through the widow of my room, I slowly open my eyes to face another challenging day as a capo.
I push myself out of the bed, my feet touch the ground and my hands go in search of the bathroom door.
Fingers firmly find the tap and open it, my rough palm grips the water and my face is wide awake when the water touches it.
I pull out a black suit like I do every. Single. Day.
Entering the kitchen a fresh aroma of food hit my nose very hard. immediately my mouth starts to water.
"Good morning!" viviana chirps, my little bird.
"Good morning sweet heart, what's on the menu today?"I ask.
"Your fine piece of ass" calvo's voice booms from the door
That bastard is living to ruin my day, but my mouth pull up seeing Viviana laughing like she is the happiest person on the planet.
There is nothing I am in need of.
"Shut up calvo or else.."
"Or else what?" cutting my line and he mocks me,
"Or else today will be your funeral ,good morning capo" Bee walks into the kitchen and sits next to me.
"Good morning Bee..when did you come?" I question curiously, Bee is not a person who enters the house casually. He is very careful about everything and every move.
"When your ass was on the menu" he says and wink, what in the world! I am your capo! I sigh and lean back "you guys are brat!" I mumble and dig in what Viviana offered in front me.
Around me all I could hear was laughter, making fun of me is their goal to achieve every single morning…
After the breakfast Bee, Calvo and myself dash into my office to discuss the schedule for today. Actually this is the best part of the day, because there will be a lot of fun and laughter.
"So...what's for today?" Bee flops on the chair in the corner of my room, when my dad was the capo he won't allow anyone to sit in his office not even leonardo or his clients they all must stand, but I am a firm believer of 'give respect and take respect' when you need something you have to give it in order get the same thing from them.
"Calvo, any news or any incident?" I lift my brow in curiosity
"Um...nothing serious but actually one of our soldiers has been injured badly in a car crash while the police was chasing...we need to cover it..you see...we also need to look after him maybe some amount of money will do…"
He drags.
"Ok, call his family and transact a few thousand dollars to his account and give him some leave, after that ask him to visit me" I say and lean back, today is going to be just a good day.
"What about leonardo's kidnapped daughter?" Bee mumbles, argh! I am not going to discuss about this on a very happy morning.
"Not again Bee!" he grint my teeth,
"Stop it Max! Just stop it! He was like your father! He wiped your tears when everyone walked away, he made you laugh when your useless father went to hunt down the enemies and for god sake he was the person who taught you to shave! Did you forget all the good things he has done for you?" Calvo stands up and barks at me, that dog!
"Yes Max, you can't be so cruel. We know he has lied and we also know what he wants you to sacrifice your sister...but Max at least you can take small steps like...you can have a negotiation with...Alex...brother, he never asked you any help, now he has opened his mouth and asked, please Max do something"
A negotiation is good
I sigh and closed my eyes, "ok then I will negotiate".
