Mateo's Point Of View

*Two days before his arrival in London; In an undisclosed location*

"We can do this the easy way and tell me where Gabriel is hiding, or do I have to t-rt-re you to get that information." I say darkly as I have one of that b-stardo's men tied up in an undisclosed location.

"He's innocent! He has nothing to do with your precious wife's death!" the man spat

in protest as he tried to squirm out of the chair that I tied him to.

"C-zz-te! Why the f-ck is he hiding from me then?!" I spat back angrily, pointing my g-n against his forehead and pulled him close to me

"He has businesses elsewhere! He doesn't care about you nor the Sicilian Ma-ia! Despite him being the rightful heir of Roberto Vitale." he taunted "Your father never loved your mother and Don Eduardo took him in after your grandfather ordered out her m-rd-r."  he smirked as he saw me clench my jaw, clearly hitting a nerve.

My father have little to no love for my mother and I, my father planned to marry the daughter of my grandfather's rival. My mother was his childhood friend and fiance by agreement. My mother loved him genuinely but his heart was with another woman, he even got her pregnant which made my grandfather furious. So he ordered the de-th of Camila Achille and Luca Achille Vitale and covered it up for as long as he could. When my own father found out,  he k-lled my grandfather and took his place as Don of the Sicilian Ma-ia, married my mother and had me two years shortly after they wed. They were both k-lled by Don Eduardo Achille, Camila's father, my grandfather's rival and the Don of the Tuscano Ma-ia when I was sixteen.

Little did he know, his oldest son was alive... And became the new Don of the Tuscano Ma-ia after Don Eduardo d-ed of lung cancer, exactly four years ago and a few weeks before Lucia was ambushed and k-lled by three men, who escaped from me. Including Luca Gabriel Achille.

I sighed and sh-t him in the head, k-ll-ng him instantly "You talk too much"I flicked my tongue as I dropped my g-n and grabbed my handkerchief to wipe the bl--d off of my exposed arm "I will make Gabriel pay for what he did to my mamma and Lucia." I vowed

"And here I thought you were packing for our trip to London." Severino chuckles as he stood next to me "Did this b-stardo talk already?" he asked, looking at the bl--dy co-pse impressively

"Unfortunately not, he keeps on saying that Gabriel has nothing to do with Lucia's de-th." I sighed in frustration "If he's not guilty then why isn't he in Italy and come face my like a man and tell me himself that he didn't k-ll Lucia and our child?!" I spat in anger

"He has his motives against your own father but he died before he became Don and you haven't done anything to cross him either. You haven't even seen him since Don Eduardo's funeral which was six years ago." he stated "Maybe they're telling the truth, but something isn't adding up." he frowns as he puts a hand on my shoulder

"I'll have Uncle Domenico look after my investigation while we're in London." I sighed, calming down slightly "Have you done a background check on Elena Kingsley like I asked you to?" I asked

"The files are in the car, but I memorized quite a bit about her." he cleared his throat "Her parents divorced when she was 11, her father's cover up business is a Publishing company, she owns a few cafes and restaurants in South Kensington, the most popular being an Italian restaurant that was named after her deceased older brother Jack that she co-owns with Harry Watts and his best friend Luca Ricci. Some of her family members are in their form of council, her grandparents, Robert and Agatha Kingsley and her cousin from the Irish Ma-ia, Declan Gallagher. Though most of them believe that Elena isn't fit to lead them just because she's a woman." he says "Which is a load of bullsh-t if you ask me." he scoffed "She was engaged to Harry Watts but he was k-lled after he shielded Elena from a b-llet three years ago. And she has been a target of ass-ss-nation ever since, more specifically the Scottish Chapter of the United Kingdom Ma-ia, lead by a man called John McIntyre." he finished

"And now she wants an alliance with a powerful ma-ia boss to strengthen her hold onto the leader position through her marriage to me and using our alliance and my reputation as a scare tactic. Smart move." I nod impressively " I'll admit that I'm looking forward to meeting her" I chuckled

"You'll get along well for sure!" Seve said enthusiastically "Maybe even fall in love" he smirks teasingly and winked

"Love and ma-ia don't mix well, my friend. I learned that the hard way."  I pat him on the shoulder "Call Marco and Giancarlo to dispose of him, I need to finish packing" I motion my head to the d*ad man as I left the building and hopped inside of my Lamborghini Aventador and drove off to my villa to finish packing for my trip to London in two days.

Domenico's Point Of View

I love my nephew... I promised Roberto on his grave that I will care for his son and treat him as my own... Everything I do is to protect him... I had to k-ll her after what she did to him...

*Flashback; three weeks before Lucia's de-th*

I was in charge at the Vitale Villa while Mateo was away during a business trip when I overheard a conversation between Lucia and and an unknown person

"I'll tell him soon, please be patient... We'll be together soon... You, me and our little girl" I hear her giggle softly "I love you too... Take care..." Once I knew that the conversation was over between her and her lover for a few seconds, I knocked on the door.

"Lucia, Marco is going to the store! Will you be needing anything?" I ask as if I didn't hear anything that she had said on the phone.

"Just strawberries please Domenico! The little one and I are craving for it!" she hollers at the door cheerfully

"Alright! Have a good morning ahead, Lucia!" I lied and went to the kitchen and find Marco to add those strawberries to the list and a dark plan started to brew in my head

“That wh-re doesn't deserve Mateo, she will pay for this infidelity of hers." I spat angrily

*End of Flashback*

I planned everything carefully and waited for the perfect time to strike. I hired a few men that I paid hansomely to get the job done...

I hope that this alliance will make him forget about Lucia...
