The mafia’s bride

CHAPTER 1

"Fire! Fire!! There's a fire burning the Smarts mansion" a man in the street shouted to get the attention of his neighbors.

"Oh my goodness! Let's call the fire service" some women who ran out of their homes said.

"I think someone is trapped inside the house, I can see a shadow," an elderly woman said. " We should help out, " she added.

The onlookers ran towards the gate of the Smarts mansion but surprisingly the guards who were on duty didn't seem to care about the burning mansion.

"Hey! What are you guarding? Didn't you see that the balcony is on fire?" One of the onlookers said.

The guards refused to give a reply to the audience before them.

"The guys aren't going to bulge, huh

We should inform the police" a young man in the crowd said.

"Don't you dare inform the police, stay away from here if you want no problems" one of the guards with a mark on his face, warned.

The onlookers exchanged looks at themselves and they chose to leave the mansion's gate.

A young girl of about five years was riding on her bicycle and she rode past the burning mansion.

"Mom! Look the house is burning," she said before realizing she was alone.

"Huh, where did mommy go?"

She looked into the burning balcony and saw a young boy struggling to crawl to the railings.

"Someone is in the burning mansion," she thought to herself and immediately ran to the back of the mansion and jumped over a small fence into the compound.

"Help! Help!!" The weak boy kept crying

"I should help him out," she said before running into the house.

She was familiar with the mansion, her mom was friends with the owner so she knew her way around.

She ran as quickly as her small legs could carry her, she got into the balcony through a smaller door and was able to save the boy in time. She dragged him out of the balcony to the door of the basement and just as she was about to leave, the boy held her back.

He was trying to say something to her before he closed his eyes.

"Hey! You shouldn't close your eyes, don't do that" she said. She pulled his head on her chest and was lightly tapping his face to keep him awake.

The boy weakly opened his eyes and he saw a name tattoo written on her chest before he finally passed out.

** Milan, Italy

"Boss! Boss!! The target has been found.

Alex woke up with a grunt, it wasn't his intention to sleep but he ended up sleeping. He had a lot on his mind these days and the only thing that kept him at peace was the dream.

He looked at his hands, he was still holding onto his lighter that had a mother carrying her baby inscribed in it, and on his lap was the transfer of property documents, he wanted to get a signature on.

He threw the lighter in the air, caught it, and grabbed the document. As soon as he stood up, clips of his dream flashed through his mind.

"Where are you?" He whispered to himself. He scoffed before facing his partner.

"Lucas, let's go," he said.

"Boss, you didn't take your gun," Lucas said to Alex.

Alex turned around and saw his gun lying on his table. He smiled bitterly, the life he was living wasn't his dream but he had to survive any way he could. He swiftly picked up the gun and walked away.

Lucas watched as Alex walked away, he wished Alex could find his little savior.

Finding her was Alex's last reason to live, he had everything but happiness.

" Life is strange" Lucas sighed before running after him.

**( Chabelo's Mansion)

Lucas drove the Red Lamborghini Gallardo into Chabelo's compound. The compound was filled with guards who had guns in their hands. Alex came out of the car in his Tom Ford suit and a black briefcase in his hands. He strolled into the living room where Chabelo was drinking before sitting on the couch to open the briefcase.

"This for the vineyard, that's my offer," Alex said and he slid the briefcase to Chabelo.

"Quite impressive but, Nunca, no, I'm not trading my vineyard," Chabelo said as he closed the briefcase that was filled with dollar notes.

"I'm being generous here Chabelo, the vineyard is for the Tuandor" Alex replied angrily while hitting two of his fingers repeatedly on the briefcase.

"For the Tuandors or not, the vineyard is in my name so it's mine" "mío, mine" Chabelo shouted back

"You'd regret this, I promise you," Alex said as he took the briefcase and turned around to leave.

"How dare you!! Threaten me in my house" Chabelo said. " Nino, boys, get him"

Alex wore a smirk on his face, he waited patiently for this moment. Chabelo didn't know what was about to hit him.

Chabelo was shocked, when the guards behind him came and held him down, while the other pointed a gun to his head.

"What's happening here?" Chabelo asked, shocked at the turn of events. "You should be arresting Alex, not me!!"

"You still don't understand, what's happening right?" Alex said in a mocking tone.

Alex bent down to Chabelo's height and held his face tightly. "Transfer the vineyard to my name right now!"

"And if I don't?" Chabelo said with a frown.

"Then I'd be forced to..." Alex corked his gun and pointed it at Chabelo's heart.

"Boom!!!" Alex said before laughing hysterically.

Alex had a frightening record for killing people, he was raised by the Head Mafia Lord, Don Maximo Tuandor. He was as ruthless as the Don, even his adopted parents feared him. He entered the Mafia's world when he was only thirteen and now fifteen years down the line, Alex was now a devil.

Chabelo couldn't force his luck,so he signed the vineyard to Alex's name.

"Now come with me!" Alex said as he walked out of the house to the garden.

Chabelo was dragged out and was thrown into an empty cargo container with his men.

" Have this" Alex said while handing him a stick of cigarettes. "You have a lighter?" He added.

Chabelo kept quiet,he couldn't wrap his head around Alex's actions.

"Well, you should come out when I leave" Alex said as he smacked Chabelo's cheeks before leaving the garden.

As Alex walked away,a helicopter flew around Chabelo's garden, pouring down a liquid substance. As soon as Lucas and Alex almost got into their car. Alex turned on his lighter and threw it backwards and immediately the whole garden caught fire.

Chabelo and his men's screams were heard loudly as Lucas drove away from the compound.
