Chapter 2-The thief

“I need to know how they got our location right now “I screamed at my bodyguard Dominic who also happens to be my best friend.
We are very tight with security so I knew that if the Castillo family knew of our whereabouts last night,it had to be someone from the inside that sold the information to them.
Someone inside my social circle has sold out information to the enemy and I happen to be good at weeding them out.
“There’s a mole in our home,I want him found and brought to me and I don’t want to see you till you have answers for me” I said
“You may leave” .
Dominic left the office and the urge to hit something was really strong.
At thirty five,I had everything I wanted and I worked really hard for it.I was the CEO of one of the largest companies and the leader of New Jerseys most profitable mafia syndicate so a target was constantly on my back.
This was the first time that I had ever been caught by surprise and it infuriated me to the core.
The Castillos and the Salvatore’s were long time enemies,they wanted total control over the city my family and I ran for years and years.They were greedy pigs that have been looking for ways to destroy me and up until yesterday,they’ve never been close.
The hit today was some sort of warning and it infuriated me because the only way they’d know where I’d be tonight was if there was someone on my side that leaked it to them.
I trusted Dominic with my life,I knew he’d never betray me and I trusted that he’d find the culprit.I almost lost him today and don’t think I’d ever be able to live with the guilt.
I needed that mole found as soon as possible and I would delight so much in his torture.
I went to my room to change out of my bloodied outfit and then I saw the knife wound that pretty waitress stitched up.I wasn’t able to get her name because a lot was going on but she had the prettiest eyes I’d ever seen and the softest hands.she looked very worried about her friend and I had men find her friend and drop her home safe.
I’ve had a lot of women in my life,but I was never interested in any thing long term.In this line of business having a weakness could not be risked and women were weaknesses my enemies would easily exploit.
I heard a knock on my door .
“Come in”
“Boss,there’s an issue at one of our casinos downtown”Lucas said
Lucas was in charge of handling issues at our major casinos in the city
“What issue”I asked
“There’s a man that has been stealing from us for a while now”.We know where he lives,I just need your permission to bring him here so you can decide what we should do with him”.
“Bring him here immediately”
“Ok boss”he said and left.
Stealing from me was punishable by death,they didn’t call me ruthless for nothing but sometimes I liked to meet these men to see if they deserved any mercy.
*************
The next day,I woke up with dark circles under my eyes.I kept having dreams about a certain someone with hazel eyes and full plump perfect lips.
It’s been a long time since a woman has affected me this much and it was beginning to stress me out.
I heard someone knocking on the door
“Come in Lucas”
“We have the man in your office” he said
“Let’s go”i said
I got to my office and the man on the floor looked to be in his late fifties and he had the same eyes as that waitress.
“f**k,I shouldn’t be thinking about her right now”
“Please sir,please forgive me,I didn’t know the money I stole belonged to you ,it’ll never happen again”the man pleaded
“Do you have my money right now”I asked
“No sir,but I can find it”he said.I just need time
“I don’t give people time, you shouldn’t have stolen from me.”
“Lucas take him to the basement and do to him what you wish.” I would have carried out the execution myself but I was still in a bad mood since yesterday’s incident.
“N…No sir please don’t take my life, I have two daughters, please if I die my daughters will be all alone in this world I just need enough time”
“Daughters you say, how about we make a deal, since you care so much for your daughters why don’t you leave them in my custody till you are able to get my money and if you fail to do so then forget about them, I’ll do to them what I wish and they’ll be my slaves till I deem them useless.”
The man doesn’t say anything for a while and I realize the he’s silently sobbing.
“I don’t have time to sympathize with a thief, do you agree or have you started fantasizing your death?”
“will you hurt them”he asked
“You are not in the position to ask questions and you should be thankful I’m not taking your life right now”
“okay,I accept your deal but please don’t hurt them,I’ll get the money please” he said as he silently sobbed
“Then it is settled you may leave, I’ll send my men to bring me my collateral”
“Lucas, bring me those girls”.I said
I didn't know what I was going to do with them but I knew things were going to get more interesting around here.
