Mafia's Love & Revenge

Chapter 5

Rosalia is in her closet looking for some seductive outfits. She is determined to find out where Lincoln is staying. She is holding up a short black wet look strapless dress. It's one of those see more ass than anything dresses. "Lincoln Moore your not going to be able to resist me." She is talking out loud to herself.

Giusto claps his hand looking at his twin. "From the description that Ricchi told us about his wife. You have your work cut out for you. Besides that dress is screaming f**k me. I am easy."

She turns to look at him, rolling her eyes. "Lincoln is so secretive about his personal life. Because he wants his family to have a normal life. All it says is that he has been married for six years and has three kids."

"Well, so far your information is correct. Ricchi did see three kids with him. Cut you lost now, Santo already has two men in line to marry you. He is meeting with them in a few days." Giusto looks at the dress and shook his head

"That still gives me a few days to find him" She walks out of her closet smiling.

"Sempre Orso"

While Modesty and Carmela are meeting with the men. Lincoln, Zara, and Verrell are taking the kids out to A' Piscaria Mercato del Pesce. It's a flea and street market. Modesty and Lincoln are cooking a special dinner tonight in memory of her Papa and her brothers. He is buying fresh ingredients for it.

Modesty has Amadeo in her arms walking to the Suv. "Verrell make sure to check the car for a bomb or anything. Before you all are in it. We can't take any chances."

Verrell is inspecting the car. "It's clear. You got it." He stands up looking at her and Lincoln.

Zara and Legacy are getting into the Suv. Lincoln sits Serenity in the car then he takes their son and sits him in his car seat. "Cuore Mio, we should be back in about three hours. But no longer than four. I will take out little tribe for lunch." Lincoln kisses her forehead.

"You all be careful. Ti Amo (I love you)" She looks at him than at their kids

He kisses her cheek. "Always, Cuore Mio, always. I love you more. Now go handle your business." He winks at her as he steps inside the Suv.

Modesty looks at them until they are out of the gate. "It's time to let them know who the boss is." She walks into the house. Her Madre and Sophia are waiting for her in the foyer. "From here on whatever we three discuss will not be spoken about outside of this circle. That includes Franco." She looks at Sophia.

"No problem" Sophia nods her head.

"It's time for me to let myself be known." She opens the double doors to the conference room.

All the men are looking at her confused as she walks into the room. Her Madre and Sophia are walking behind her. She looks around the room at the men. Modesty makes sure that she looks into each one of their eyes. Before she says anything. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Modesty. To be more clear, Modesty Mastroianni- Moore. I am the only daughter of Seargeah and Carmela Mastroianni. That makes me your boss now." She is still looking at the men.

The men look at Carmela. She is standing beside her daughter with a stern look.

Modesty sits down in her papa's chair. She looks at five empty chairs that are at the table." I will be filling three of five of these empty chairs right now. My Madre of course and Sophia. But the chair to my right is for someone special That will make their self known soon. If any of you have a problem taking orders from me. Now it's the time to leave." She looks around the table.

"How in the hell did she become a higher rank than me" Franco is thinking as he looks at his wife. But Sophia isn't looking at him. She is looking at Modesty.

Caddy is sitting in the twelfth chair on her right side. He smirks "Your just a little girl. Do you really believe that we will listen to you? Besides we have never heard a damn thing about you." He let out a low laugh and wipes an apple off on his shirt.

All the other men are looking at him, then at her

Modesty is looking at a letter opener, envelope, and notepad that is in front of her.

"Hell if we follow her, we all are good as dead. The Troisi are going to laugh at us for following you." He raises his apple to his mouth. Then he shakes his head.

She picks up the letter opener and throws it. The letter opener lands in the apple that Caddy is about to bite. Modesty never did look at him.

Now all the men are looking at the letter opener that is in the middle of the apple. That is still in Caddy's mouth.

Caddy takes the apple out of his mouth, looking at it. "You're crazy. Hell, you could have killed me. What if you would have missed" He yells looking at her.

Modesty looks at him. "Just so you all know, I never miss. The first rule is, don't ever yell at me. This is your only chance to leave. If you are still here after the meeting then if you try to leave. I will kill you. Those are the same rules that my father and grandfathers set." She looks around the room. "If I find out that anyone betrayed my father and brothers. I promise you that person will die screaming. You all thought my father was dangerous. Believe me, I am ten times worst. So Caddy why are you still here?" She looks at him.

"You made your point. I am staying." He looks at the apple and then back at her.

"Okay let's get down to business. Tomorrow we are having a private service for our loved ones that we lost. Laila, Alonzo, and Leo's families are the only ones that are allowed here for the service. I have a feeling that my Madre will be having some uninvited guess soon. Let them in, I want to meet them." Modesty nods her head, she looks at her Madre.

Carmela nods her head.

Right after Modesty dismisses everyone. Franco comes over to Sophia. "We need to talk"

"Sure" Sophia waves him out of the conference room. She glances over at Carmela and Modesty. All three women knew that was coming.

"How could you do this to me? Do you know how this makes me look?" Franco whisper yells, looking around the foyer.

"Modesty is now in charge, so she is the one that makes the decisions around here. Besides I thought that you were leaving. We are getting a divorizo or have you forgotten. My place is beside Modesty and Carmela." She walks away from him.

He rubs his mouth. "Ain't this a b***h" he mumbles.

"A' Piscaria Mercato del Pesce"

Lincoln is pushing Amadeo in his stroller. Verrell has Legacy's hand and Zara has Serenity by her hand. Rosalia and Qiana, are at the market also. When she sees Lincoln, she starts walking behind them. She looks at Zara, thinking that she's Lincoln's wife. "Ricchi must be blind as hell. She is not all that. She is now where close to being beautiful. She looks like a plain Jane." Rosalia is thinking as she is looking Zara up and down.

Lincoln and Verrell notice the two women following them. They are waiting for the woman to wrap the swordfish. It is the last ingredient that they need to make Swordfish rolls. It is a traditional Italian dish. When he turns around Rosalia bumps into him. "oh I am sorry" she smiles laying her hand on his chest.

He removes her hand from him. "Yes, I am sure you are. You should be more careful next time." He and Verrell are looking at her. Lincoln turns away from her, he starts to push the stroller.

"I know you. Your Lincoln Moore." She smiles at him.

Verrell steps between the two of them. "Yes, he is. Now go away." Lincoln, Zara, and the kids walk away. She tries to walk around him. But is blocked again.

"Do you know who I am?" She looks at Verrell.

"No, and I don't care who you are. But I do know that you will leave Mr. Moore and his family alone. Do I make myself clear?" Verrell looks at her then at Qiana.

Qiana reaches for her hand. "Let's go. He is only doing his job." She looks at Verrell. "They are Americans, you know they have not heard of the Troisi family."

Rosalia looks at him, as she walks away.

Verrell stands there looking at the two women as they walk away. He walks over to Lincoln to tell him who Qiana said the woman was.

Lincoln nods his head and looks over at Rosalia. "She is lucky that Cuore Mio wasn't here. Very lucky."

Rosalia and Qiana are walking to her car. "He is playing hard to get. His wife is no match for me. I will have Lincoln Moore in my bed soon." She yells.

"Back at Sempre Orso"

Modesty is in her Papa's office. She is reading some of his notes. She looks at the monitor she sees two black 2021 black Cadillac Escalade ESV driving up the gate."It's about time. I was beginning to wonder about those sciocchi (fools). First I need to learn who all the players are. Then I will make my plan to kill all the bastards." She whispers.

Elexandros, Santo, Giusto, and five more men step out of the Suv. Caddy and ten men escort them to the library.

"This is too easy" Santo leans over to Elexandros.

"Not easy at all. When you know that you can't win." Elexandros laughs as he sits down."This will be my new home. "He is thinking, looking at two women walking toward the door.

"Leave us," Carmela said as she and Sophia walk into the room. Carmela looks at the man that is sitting down. "May I help you all?" She and Sophia are now standing beside a large gold desk.

Elexandros looks at Carmela, "Oh yeah. This is going to be like taking candy from a baby. I wish that it was a little challenging. That would make it fun." He is thinking. About that time Modesty walk into the room. "Damn" he mumbles looking at her with his mouth wide open. "I am looking at my future wife." He's thinking

Not only was his mouth open. Also, his brothers and all of his men's mouths were also opened.

Sophia and Carmela look at each other smiling. Modesty walks behind the desk. But doesn't sit down. She looks at her Madre.

Carmela looks back at Elexandros. "I asked you can I help you."

"I am Elexandros Troisi. Since you are a widow now. My two brothers and I came here to release you of your properties and all of the business that your belated husband had." He points over at Santo and Giusto and winks.

Modesty looks over at the two men then she looks at him. "That will not happen today or any other day."

All the men look at her weirdly.

"Why is that?" Santo walks two steps toward the desk.

Elexandros holds his hand up. For him to stop.

"Because I'm in charge now." She looks at Santo and Elexandros

All of the men laugh looking at her. Some even pointed at Modesty while laughing.

"Let me make sure that I am understanding what you're saying. That you're replacing Seargeah?" Giusto asks looking at her still laughing.

"You must be the smart one. Since you already know the answer." Modesty looks at him and taps the desk. Her mother and Sophia walk behind the desk.

"It seems that we need to teach the little girl a listen. But don't touch her beautiful face." Elexandros points at two men. "I don't want one scratch on my wife's face. But she will know who is in charge." He is thinking

The two men are walking over to the desk. Modesty jumps on top of the desk, she looks at the two men. Modesty smiles as she jumps into the air doing a double jump kick. Her feet land on both of the men's heads. Knocking them on the floor. They are lying on their backs. She jumps into the air and does a split. Her legs land on both men's throats. She crushes their tracheas.

She jumps up into a stance defense stand and looks at Elexandros. "You will be the last one that I kill. Because you are the one that is giving the orders. So you will think that you will be my first target." She is thinking.

He and his brothers are looking at the two lifeless men on the floor.

Carmela and Sophia are looking at Modesty in disbelief. If they ever had any doubts about her. All of those doubts are gone.

"Very impressive. Are they dead?" Elexandros points at the men.

"Yes, they are, very much dead." She looks at him. "Make sure you take them with you on your way out. Don't come back here again. Today you were invited because I want to introduce myself. Don't expect to walk in here again. That will never happen." She sits on edge of the desk, still looking at him.

"Who are you?" Santo looks at her.

"Modesty, my name is Modesty Mastroianni. Now leave." She points toward the door.

Caddy and some of the men are in the foyer waiting to walk them out.

"Modesty. We will meet again." Elexandros smiles at her

She looks at him. " Troppo shay ( too shay)"
