Leonardo's POV
My brother walked into my room and saw me laying on my bed, just watching the second pass on my alarm clock "It's finally happened" he muttered "you've gone crazy" he whispered again, trying to crack a joke at 8:06 in the morning.
I roll my eyes and shift in bed before pulling the covers over my head. I really wasn't in the mood for any company, especially by this time in the morning.
He drags the sheets off my body which made me finally snap "ALEX!!" I shouted "Can you stop being such a asshole, it's too early for this" I said, my voice laced with annoyance and irritation before pulling the sheets back over my body.
He chuckles and nudges my shoulder which I roll my eyes at. There was a few seconds of peace and quiet which made me think he had gone so I pulled the sheets off my body only to see him staring at me like a maniac. I groaned and he laughed "I got you coffee by the way" he sad before pointing to the coffee on the table "Thanks I guess, now can you stop annoying me" I said still obviously annoyed.
"Never" he answered playfully like this was a joke "You're so annoying" I said with a hint of amusement and irritation in my voice "You love it" he replied.
I had no time to keep up this stupid banter with him, after a few moments of silence he finally spoke up again "Loren is gonna be so excited that we're both gonna be coming for her graduation. Absolutely cheery" I laughed finally understanding why he suddenly got me coffee.
"She put you up to this, didn't she?" I asked, "Maybe" I let out a sigh which Alex immediately understood "Let me guess, you're not coming for the graduation" he said and I just stayed silent.
"I'll take that as a no. Again" he said sounding disappointed as he looked away from me, sadness etched in his face "You know I would go if I could" I said and he just shrugged. What the hell was that? Did he think I was doing this on purpose? Does he think I want this? Me missing my sister's graduation on purpose. Never.
I hit the back of his head and he grunts "What the f**k was that?" He asked annoyed "What was that shrug?" He doesn't reply "You think I'm lying?" I continue.
"Well yeah, I mean you miss almost every occasion as long as it has nothing to do with this Mafia s**t, do you think I'll just believe you like that" He let out a chuckle but it was obvious he wasn't joking. He was saying the truth but I didn't do them on purpose, I'm just always busy "I've seen her cry a lot of times just because you said you couldn't make it" he continues, standing up after he finished his coffee "And no matter how annoying she is after a while it still hurts" he mumbles.
"You know I'm not doing this on purpose, right?" I ask genuinely.
"yeah yeah, I know. But you still have to try though" he says dropping his coffee cup on the table and takes mine "What do you think you're doing?" I ask as he was about to drink mine too.
"No more coffee for you" he says and leaves drinking my coffee. I groaned annoyed but head to the bathroom to shower since I was already wide awake.
After showering and dressing up, I head downstairs for breakfast just to see Dante seating on the barstool, shoving a spoonful of oats down his throat. He didn't like oats but still ate them anyways which was stupid asf, Alex was sitting right next to him.
Dante noticed me coming downstairs "Did you sleep?" He asked.
"No-"
"Like a baby, although there was this mosquito in my room that kept pestering me but otherwise I slept pretty fine" Alex answered cutting me off from the question that was meant for me on purpose which I rolled my eyes at and Dante was still looking at me waiting for my answer.
"Not much, but it was okay" I finally answered, Just then Emilio entered with the girl who played Alex, literally throwing her on the floor.
"Good morning ladies" Emilio said with a smirk "Do we look like ladies to you?" I asked annoyed.
"Who cares" Emilio replies, "Morning Emilio" Piero says with a smile sitting on the couch as he bit into some pop tarts even though we obviously aren't ladies.
Emilio totally ignores Piero as he looked at the girl who was now unconscious on the floor, Dante looked absolutely unbothered by her while Alex squatted down to check her pulse on her neck "She's still alive...So what happened Emilio" he asked.
"I did what you said, we got a room, I f****d her then we talked for a while but she wouldn't say anything about herself which pissed me off so I accidentally knocked her out. The end" he said totally unbothered.
"Accidentally? You can't accidentally knock someone out" I said curiously, "It was an accident" he replied still trying to defend himself.
"Right. Accidentally" Dante said rolling his eyes as he continued to eat his breakfast.
The girl, Katherine slowly starts to wake up, she uses her hands to support herself as she starts looking at everyone of us until her gaze lands on Emilio. She let out a bloodcurdling scream, it was like nails on a f*****g chalkboard but a billion times screecher, so squeaky and ughhh.
"Can someone shut this b***h up" Dante says looking annoyed and disgusted as ever. Emilio walks towards her putting his hands around her throat before whispering God knows what in her ear that makes her shut up before he walks back to his seat and she cowers in fear like a f*****g rat "Finally" I say sighing In relief.
The b***h called Katherine literally crawls to Alex and had the audacity to put her right hands on his lap and the other on his chest, "Babe, please help me. Help me, he's a f*****g psycho" she says pointing at Emilio but Emilio was definitely not having this.
"Get away from me you b***h" he says before pushing her off and walks away.
"Get her to one of the rooms downstairs" I said and Dante called 2 men to take her downstairs so he could finish his breakfast.
Later he stood up holding the empty bowl "You're plane is ready whenever you are" he informs me and I nod then he leaves
I go upstairs and grab my suit jacket, my phone and some other necessary important stuff before heading to the garage. I walk over to my white Ferrari and get in the backseat waiting for Alex to arrive so we could get going. He arrives merely minutes later in a suit, he hated wearing suits and he looked so uncomfortable right now I couldn't help but tease him a little.
He got into the driver's seat, adjusting his suit "You look like an almond in that suit" I said teasing him.
"f**k off" he replied
The ride to the airport was quiet because I called him an almond, it I didn't he would be talking his ass off by now. Anyways, I enjoyed the peace and quiet for once.
It took about 42 minutes to get to the airport. Before we could get out of the car there were dozens of reporters swarming around like f*****g bees.
"How the f**k did they find us so fast" I asked, my voice laced with annoyance, "These people should work for the FBI, they would find missing kids in like 4 freaking hours while the FBI takes like 7-10 f*****g days" Alex replied, his voice filled with irritation.
Alex counts down from 4 before we get out of the car, jogging to the jet just in time before the door closes.
The flight was pretty boring, we didn't talk much as Alex was still a teensy bit mad at me for calling him an almond. Once the plane landed we got off and saw my Audi that was waiting for me, Alex drove us to one of my hotel that was located in St. Petersburg street which was about 23-28 minutes away.
Once we got there, I and Alex were greeted by one of my men, Cole. He was the one who took care of most of my stuff in New York, "Hey Boss! What's up?" He asked
"The sky" I replied not giving a f**k, "That is so dry" he said "How's the Girlfriend?" I asked.
"Oh Katie, I killed her" he said like it was the most normal thing in the world. What the f**k did I miss? Why did he kill her? "Why'd you kill her?" I asked "She tried to kill me, not once, not even twice but six times, six f*****g times, so I did some research on her just to find out the b***h works for the Russian Mafia, so I killed her and made it seem like a suicide" he replied with a chuckle.
"Damn" I said, I didn't even know what to say like wtf. We continued to walk to my Penthouse and I noticed Alex had wandered off to God knows where well that was until I noticed he was way ahead of us.
"Cole, I'll be in the penthouse incase the Andare's show up, k?" I ask
"Yea sure" he replies before getting dragged away by one of my other men for their normal chit chat and gossip, I catch up with Alex and we walk into the dark and cold penthouse. It had been 2 years since I visited, it was the same, no single speck of dust. It seemed my men had been doing a really good Job keeping the Penthouse this clean.
Alex opens the fridge and just like that disappointment was etched on his face "there's no food?! I'm literally starving" he says in annoyance, I just ignore him and walk into my office slumping on the chair, I open my Mac Book and start scrolling through my messages and emails when I notice an email from my mom, I open it just to see a long ass email from her, after like 32 f*****g seconds of reading it, I finally replied.
I called Andre, one of my men back at Italy to see if he had finally cracked Catherine open but he hadn't, he suggested 2 methods, and in 2 of them we had to hurt her, we usually didn't hurt women but she messed with my brother so I gave Andre the go ahead and ended the call.
Alex walked into my office looking outside the window "The Andare's are late" it was 6:41 and they were meant to be here by 6:00 at the dot, just then I received a call from Cole and I picked it up "The Andare's have arrived" he said, his voice echoing from the other end of the phone, "Send them in" I said and hung up.
After some minutes, there was a knock on the door, Alex immediately opened the door, welcoming them in. It was Harry Andare who wore a simple black suit, looking sharp. He had brown eyes with curly black hair and a few highlights.
While his older sister Evelyn on the other hand, wore a red tight dress with a slit from her thighs that showed off all her curves perfect, a diamond necklace and black heels. She was a Blondie and had Hazel eyes exactly like her mother with a lot of ear piercings, maybe like 4 on each ear like she was crazy asf.
They sat on the 2 chairs across me Infront of my desk before Evelyn spoke "Sorry for the delay Leo but unfortunately, we are no longer interested in signing the deal. As a matter of fact, we no longer want your shipments. We've gotten a better deal from someone else. Once again, I'm really sorry."
"And who is this 'someone else's if I may ask?" I say in annoyance.
"I am only telling you this because of my loyalty to you and your family. It's the Alvaro's." She said hesitantly.
"Lealtà un cazzo" I mutter which she didn't hear "Who the f**k are the Alvaro's?" I yell at Alex, "First the shipments now this deal!!"
{Translation: Loyalty my ass}
"We're really sorry, Leo" Harry said before they left.
"Come on, let's go. Maybe we can get something from Catherine" he said as we went outside and I saw Cole standing there, "How did the deal go?" He asked curiously "it sank like the f*****g titanic" I said still obviously furious
The flight back was boring and quiet, more quiet than usual cuz I was mad. When we got back home, the place was so quiet you could even hear a pin drop, Alex had gone to sleep cuz he was exhausted, Piero walked down the stairs in his pyjamas, "Hey Lee, how was New York?" He asked with a cheeky smile.
"It was bullshit and also stop calling me that. Where is Emilio? Where is Dante? Did Catherine give us any info?" I asked Piero immediately which he was shocked by, "Woah Woah, chill buddy. First of all, I'm sorry New York was s**t and no we haven't gotten any information from Katherine and also Emilio's with Dante" he said answering the questions one at a time "Well I'm going to sleep now, bye Lee" he said.
"Ok and also stop calling me Lee, my name is Leo" I replied, looking at him with annoyance, "Ok ok chill" he said as he walked up the stairs with that same cheeky smile.
