Luca's POV
I adjusted my suit as my dad made his way in. His extravagant and scary demure followed him has he walked into the conference room.
My dad has always been the mafia king and he had killed alot of people who came his way. He had made me a pawn in his evil plans.
He walked into the room smiling at me, I was sure he must be happy about the death of Tommy Miles. The reporter who wanted to expose his evil plan.
"My dear son, come here, come here"
He said has he made his way to me, trying to hug me.
He hugged me and sat me down on the chair.
"You have proven to me that, you are worthy of been a mafia king"
He said has he also sat opposite me.
"My son you have proven you are my son and now I will make you the mafia king"
I don't know whether to be happy or sad, but the thought of being a mafia king made me so happy.
"My son, you will get to rule all my nine empires, rule alot of men and get everything in your possession. You are a Mafia king and you will always be."
He said as he rested his hands on the table.
"Besides since you have been young. You have witnessed a lot of crimes, but to tell you the truth the one you did today, really winned my heart. The way you scared him, planned his kidnap and ended it by killing him. I am proud of you."
He said with pride in his voice.
"But my son, there is still something you haven't done yet"
He said has he narrowed his gaze.
"Marriage!"
"You have to get married to become a mafia king"
He stood up and walked to the window which showed the beautiful sight of city.
He told me about everything thing it takes to be a mafia king. He told me about the danger which looped around a mafia king and he told me that was the reason why I had to get married and have a heir, who will take over even if something happens to me.
"You are everything a woman would want in a man; those your black jet hair, your narrow eyebrow and your gray shaded eye which made you look even more dangerous and capable has a king"
He also made mention of facts which was that; my wife must also be fearless and brave because the mafia queen's also loops in danger.
"I guess that was the mistake I made which made us lose your mother. I was blinded by love.
Well, after he explained everything to me and told me, he wants to retire from the work passed to him by his father. He was getting tired and I agree with him because, he was starting to have terrible nightmares.
As he turned to leave he said with his serious but warmth eyes,
"Remember, my son. Their are so many enemies who want to revenge, expose and destroy you. Watch your back. Even your very best might plan to destroy you"
Then he left.
-Those words actually hanged in the air, as I watched him walk away.
I sat down for some moments thinking about everything again; was I ready to take up this responsibility? Am I ready to get my hands dirty?
Just then I remember the girl who had witnessed the since. She was a threat and had my dad found out he won't have been proud of me.
I told one of my men to bring her out; she was actually very beautiful and young but those innocent eyes which I had seen minutes ago looked so dangerous and fearless.
What had gotten into her?
As she sat down, she stared at me in such a way that. I might even be the one getting scared of her.
"What happened to you?"
I asked in my coldest voice; I was not some fragile man. I might be kind in the inside but I was very cold in the outside.
She ignored and looked at me fiercely.
"You are right. I witnessed everything. I witnessed everything you have done. Kill me! Just kill me"
She said angrily while my men tried to attack her, but I stopped them.
There was something in her eyes that attracted me; normally I would have killed the person who dared to talk to me like that. But something in my heart told me to stop.
"Why did you stop them, let them kill me... Just let them kill me. You monster, Luca Dains"
What! she knew my name also. What has really gotten into this girl? That fragile girl was now starring at me with anger.
-What wrong with her?
Have she showed for some minutes, she broke down in tears. She sniffed and sniffed and sniffed.
"Boss, why are you been so kind. She is a threat boss. Let's finish her" One of my men said but I told him not to do that.
-That is also what I am suppose to do, but I just felt like I shouldn't do it.
"Take her to the room upstairs and give her something to eat"
I said as my men obeyed.
"What? Won't you kill me. You monster. Can't you kill me, are you such a coward. I witnessed your crime, you monster."
She shouted has she was pulled away.
Aftet she left, I wondered why I didn't want to kill her. What was stopping me? Why am I been such a coward all of a sudden.
I banged the table in furstration and went to my room.
As I walked into my room, I flicked the light on and went straight to bed. Whatever is happening to me tonight, shouldn't be happening.
*************
The warm sunlight shined into my eyes as I struggle to wake up. It was morning already and another assignment was waiting for me.
As I got ready, my thoughts drifted to my dad's words.
"Your wife must be fearless and brave"
Who could I possibly get married to? Well, actually no one, because I wasn't ready to settle down.
But I needed someone to play my wife, so as to rule the empire. I needed someone, someone.
Then a thought came to my mind has I made my way down the stairs.
-That girl, that girl. I will use that girl and once I am done with her, I will get rid of her.
Afterall, she will be in my possession, I won't let her go out and I will be able to kill two birds with one stone.
-But will she agree? Well, if she doesn't agree. I will kill her, I have given her a chance to live for a little while.
Just as I was stepping into my large luxurious sitting room, my men were also bringing her down.
-She looked completely pale and her face was swollen. Well, I didn't care.
"Boss, she didn't eat anything since yesterday. Even though we force her"
Philp, my most trusted man said.
"And are you sure you forced her"
"We did infact while Karen was forcing her, she used the vase to hit his nose"
He said and I looked at her in amusement.
"What, did she really do that"
This girl is not scarec at her. Even though she knew they could have killed her. She still hitted his nose.
"Hey, wildcat. How dare you hit his nose..."
I haven't even finished talking when she interrupted.
"Then kill me. I hitted his nose kill me"
She said shivering.
She must have catched a cold due to the rain last night.
"Well, I won't kill you, I will use you. You have crossed all limit and I will make you pay for talking to me anyhow"
I said as she starred at me lifelessly.
"I will use you" I said continuously.
"What for? What are you going to use me for" She shouted at my face.
" Lower your voice. I am the king of this place so watch your tongue when speaking to me" I blasted back.
She was starring at me like she was going to killl me but I returned my gaze with a dangerous smirk.
" You are going to be my wife, for two weeks"
I said as I explained everything she was going to do.
Before I could even finish explaining. She shouted.
" I am ready"
I starred at her so confused. I wasn't expecting her to reply so soon. Infact I was planning to scare her and threathen her but she had already agreed, like she had been waiting for that request for so long.
" I am ready to be your wife"
She repeated has the words hanged in the air while we starred at each other.
As we starred at each other, the tension between us was interuptted with the buzzing of my phone.
I picked and what the person on the other end of the phone told me, sent shivers down my spine as I exclaimed.
"WHAT!"
