"Hmm...", said Adrian, leaning backward on his chair and pushing his hair upright, "Russo in America? Very interesting, very interesting indeed".
"This is such a serious issue, how can you speak so calmly about it?", asked Achilles, flabbergasted holding a black file in his hands.
" I am trying to think that what purpose has made the mafia king of Russia roam in the streets of America ", said Adrian.
"About that, there's is a very strange theory", said Achilles.
" Obviously ", said Adrian.
" According to my sources, he's here after a girl", said Achilles.
" After a girl..... so you mean he is in love? ", asked Adrian.
" Not sure about that. After also, he's also a mafia king and mafias don't love ", said Achilles.
" What purpose could he have with a girl then? Unless it is for some other personal cause", said Adrian, doubtfully.
" If it would have been some personal cause, I would not told you or tried to meddle in his matters. But the fact is he was somehow associated with the chandelier incident on your reception ", said Achilles.
" You sure? ", asked Adrian, taken aback.
" One hundred and twenty five per cent sure ", said Achilles, grimly.
" Well, I have no personal or any problems with the Russian mafia. But if this is how he wants things to be, then we have a problem ", said Adrian, slamming the table with his first.
" So, what should we do? " asked Achilles.
" Corner him from all sides. I want all information about his past, the people who he's connected to, every important or unimportant incident of his life. We'll corner him in his own trap. But yes, we also have to be a lot more care about us", said Adrian," Send Ronaldo and Chris to Russia with a small amount of force. You need to remain updated about Russo. Each one of his moves should be captured. Meanwhile, I will do the analysis and protection work. Strict security for our families and make sure that everyone has a small pistol 🔫 with them every time they're alone especially those at important positions".
Meanwhile...
A dark and gloomy place. Even though it had such a depressing demaneur, but it was still unreasonably clean and tidy to be a haunted place. There were no cobwebs on the walls, and no dust particle on the floor.
On one of the sofa sat a man with a gold mask that coved his whole face except his eyes. He was was wearing a red vampire 🦇 themed suit with black leafy designs making him look incredibly hot. James Russo jerked his head to acknowledge a sudden arrival at the door of the dark room.
It was a lady. She was about five foot eight inches tall and hence quite tall for a lady . She had deep greyish blue, blonde hair, and round lips which were painted red. She was slim and dressed in black to match the dark theme of the background around her.
"Hmmm....nice", said Russo, slightly.
"Don't tell that you're already in love with me", said the lady, taking a seat.
"And don't forget that you're talking to the Russian Mafia king? And Russo can never fall in love with anyone other than Lucy Anderson", said Russo.
"I must admit, I admire your loyalty.... but I do wonder what kind of charm she possesses which can overshadow me", said the lady.
" Her beauty has already possessed Adrian Smith... uh... why do you look so shocked? Wasn't he your boyfriend during high school for an overwhelming two weeks", said Russo, gently tapping the chair.
" How do you know about Adrian? ", asked the lady, her relaxed expression changing to a vexed look.
" Does that matter anymore? Not now he has a new girlfriend... sorry , for the slip of the tongue..' wife'", he said, adding extra pressure on the last word.
" She will not last. Adrian won't love her, he only loves me ", said the lady, with a very ugly look on her face.
" Uh... wasn't the period two weeks too small to be called love, Miss Lacy Vera Fredevich ", he said, maliciously.
" Are you trying to force me to do something for you by telling me all this. Let me... ", she started, but was interrupted in between.
" If I would have wanted to force you, the Russian mafia has more than ever power to do that. But I had a feeling that you would help me on your own accordance", said he.
" Why would I help you? What will I get? ", she asked, waving her long blonde hair.
" Adrian Smith. I was willing to kill him, but I might leave him for your sake. You can get him to be yours forever. You have my word", said Russo, grimly.
" What do I have to do? ", she asked, her gaze darkening.
" I will plant you in his company. You just need to obey my orders after that, and don't dare to lay a finger on Lucy", said Russo, breathing deeply.
" So you're doing this out of your love for Lucy, aren't you? And I just happened to be in between all this, so you decided to use me. A clever plan indeed", said Lacy.
" I never go back on my word. You will get what you want, and I will get my Lucy.", said Russo.
" Well, that makes things clearer between us. You can contact me whenever you need , I need to get going as have a shooting at afternoon ", said Lacy, getting up to go.
" Just one thing before you go, Lucy is not my love , she's my obsession , my delusion, my everything, and I can do anything to make her mine.", he said, as he turned his chair to fix his stare at a painting of Lucy carved on the wall of the dark room.
