A deal with the devil

EPISODE 2

Clan of the scorpions 08:00am

Leonardo’s office:

He sat on his chair, scrolling and going through the database of his clan on his laptop. His eyes twitched when he saw a new member that was recently recruited.

Name: Alessia Lewis

Age: 24

He zoomed her picture and examined her for some minutes, sighed before closing the laptop loudly.

I think I should reduce the rate of mobster recruitment for the year, the might suffocate me at this point, he muttered.

Wow!

Leonardo didn’t bother looking up, he knows the owner of the annoying voice he just heard, and he is aware that it is only one person that can come into his office without knocking.

Marco! Am not just ready for your madness this morning, it is too early.

Good morning boss! I know you are expecting me to call you Leonardo, but don’t worry you are still my Boss Marco smirked at him.

I knew those men were never going show up last night. Such a waste of time.

Don't you think it’s high time we teach them some lesson?

Marco is that actually the reason while you are here, or you have another thing to say? Leonardo asked him in a deep voice.

Anyways that’s not why am here, Marco gave him a teasing look.

The lady from last night, she is cute though what do you plan on doing with her?

What are my schedules for today? Leonardo diverted the question.

Yeah that’s true. He started opening the files he came in with.

There is an emergency meeting today by 02:00 pm. It involves all the mafia bosses in Italy so you need to be there in person. I guess the meeting is about the upcoming election that’s all for today.

The capo of Italy has been assassinated, and a has been given a buffeting burial to honor him, therefore another person has to occupy that position.

For a new Capo to emerge, an election has to be done, and eligibility requires a Mafia Boss that is legitimately married.

***************************************************************

Elena yawned lazily as she opened her eyes. She was expecting to hear the normal alarm ringtone that usually wake her up in the morning, but she heard non.

Is my clock faulty or what she muttered as she climbed down from the bed. She rubbed her eyes and scanned her environment.

She was surprised to find herself in a strange room that looks very expensive, and well furnished.

Where am I, Am I dead? She asked no one in particular.

Somebody help me? She shouted, as she tried opening the door, but no avail.

No no it can’t be, she started shaking, as memories of last night started flooding into her mind.

“Am actually the Leonardo they are talking about”

The was the only voice she heard before she passed out.

Am doomed!! She started crying loudly. Does it mean he kidnapped me she said to herself?

Immediately the door opened she, she stood on her feet expecting to see Leonardo but she saw a lady instead, that came into the room with a tray of food.

Hi am Alisha, the cook of the clan she said cheerfully as she dropped the tray on a table beside the bed.

Cla…n ! She stuttered in horror.

Where am I? she asked calmly hoping to hear that all that has been happening around her is just a dream but Everything looks to real to be dream.

You are welcome to the clan once again. Alisha flashed her a warm smile before leaving the room.

******************************************************************

KITCHEN (04:00 PM) SAME DAY.

Where they hell is this Alisha of a girl, am hungry and I need to eat, Viper a top mobster complained.

Viper is a tall handsome guy in his early twenties. He is the sniper of the organization, he handles gun like a pro.

I know already that food is your middle name, but it's not necessary you make it obvious and kill me with complaints

Bros calm down you are not the only one here Kimberly rolled eyes at him

Alisha would soon be here she went to serve the girl that was brought into the clan last night

Yeah that's true I heard a girl was brought in here last night, is she a captive or a mobster?

Vixen chirped in. He is the hacker of the organization, popularly known as the white devil.

Hi guys Alessia waved at them as she went straight to the fridge to take a bottle of water.

She is new in the clan though, but she is not the new girl they were talking about.

They were actually talking about Elena.

Alessia took the water and left the kitchen. Vixen eyes followed her as she left.

She's hot right, do you like her? Viper winked at him

Yeah she's not bad anyway he chuckled.

******************************************************************

MEETING AREA 05:00 PM.

The gathering consists of the top ten Mafia bosses in the whole of Italy.

It's been 4 months since the death capo and I think it's time to move on, Celina said.

She is the Dona of “Black Horses” and the second in command after Capo.

We all know how the system works and the eligibility criteria.

I therefore call up the bosses that are interested in this position to come forward and pick their tickets, it's just three and each would be taken at the price of £5,000,000.

Tiger, the Don of Wild serpents was the first to come out, followed by Baron the Don of The Dragons. Baron happens to be Leonardo's worst enemy and rivalry in the underworld.

He smirked at Leonardo as he went arrogantly to Celina's table to collect his ticket. He believes that Leonardo would not have a chance to participate in the election since he doesn't have a wife

But Leonardo's action took him unawares.

Here is the sum of £15,000,000, I need the ticket he placed the money on the table.

Leonardo you are not eligible for this election hope you know that, it's not about money Celina told him.

Am not eligible, says who? Leonardo slammed his fits angrily on the table making Celina to flinch.

Says the constitution, you must have a legitimate wife and not just a concubine before a ticket is given to you she yelled at him.

Well for your information, I have a wife!!!

What !!!!!

Yeah a hidden wife if you all must know.

He took the ticket from Celina and went out of the hall, without sparingly a glance on any of them.
