PROLOGUE
"Mr. Briochi D' Agostino, glad to see you here." the man smiled when someone called him.
He doesn't usually involve to a party since it's not his thing. But his father wants him to go as their clans representative.
"Glad to see you here too." Mr. Briochi D' Agostino said. He really don't like greeting people back but his father always said:
"Be polite Rime Loris and behave."
He's behave, he's even composed and collected. Everyone always says to him that he's cold and ruthless.
Well, he just don't feel saying something that is nonsense at all.
The party started and the people spotted in the party is you may called elite and classy people, those people who is really wealthy. Not expected from him 'cause he is also elite.
"The first born of Briochi D' Agostino is known for being wise and ruthless in business world that's why he's known as youngest business tycoon in the world." The girl behind her said.
"I know and many girls are crawling to him. they said he's good in bed." The other girl giggles.
She rolled her eyes when she heard that. That's her co-workers here at the party, those are the ushers while she's the bartender serving what the guest wants.
"Maya..." Her co-bartender calls her. He seems having a trouble because of the guest in front of him looking so mad.
"Yes, need something?" She asked and walks to him.
"Can you make Rum Martinez?" her co-bartender asked her.
Rum Martinez? That one of a hell hard to make and we don't even have any wood chips in here. She said in her thoughts.
So that's why the guest is fuming mad because he can't make his drink sad to say they don't have any ingredients for making that except to Rum.
She faced the middle-aged man maybe he's around 50's
"Sir, we sincerely apologize but you're request may not given to you. Since we don't have any wood chips that is one of the main ingredient of the Rum Martinez." She said politely and the man in front of him seems don't please at all.
"What kind of service is this you can't afford to do my request because you don't have a single wood?!" He shouted at her and that makes her clos her eyes.
"Sir, we can guarantee you another drink." She's still calm but deep inside she wants to hit this old man's head with a glass bottle.
"No, I want a Rum Martinez!" He shouted again.
And that shout makes everyone in the party look at them making them the center of attraction.
She sighed heavily before speaking again.
"Sir, we can't toast a wood chip here because it has a strong scent. It may cause trouble to the party. Also, the owner if this party, cross out the Rum Martinez to the list that we will make. I hope you understand." She said to the old man, hoping that he understand her.
"No! I still want Rum Martinez, make it now!" Still persistent the old man.
"Sir—"
"Mr. Bianchi. The bartender said that they can't make your drink since it will caused too much trouble to the party." A man cut me off and said that.
Seems like he's the owner of the party.
"If you may, please leave because you're causing too much trouble here." He said politely.
"You want me to leave? No, this woman should leave. She can't make a simple drink that I request." He aggressively said.
That's not a simple drink, you bastard. She said in her thoughts
"Again I request you to leave before I call the guard and force you to leave." The man seems controlling himself.
"I am one of the biggest investor of your company, Russo. You can't just let me leave." He confidently said.
"You're one. so there's many. Don't be proud of it. I can't find someone who can invest more that you can easily and replace your seat. So, know your place." The man's voice suddenly change from politely to cold one.
The man is about to leave but he hold a glass bottle of rum before pouring it to her head. The gasps covered her ears seems like the people are shock to what they saw.
She looked down because of the shame she received.
"That's what you get, woman." The old man said before leaving.
She wiped the rum dripping to her face before unknotting her apron and exit the part to get some air.
They are 4 bartenders so her absence for a while will not be a big trouble.
She went to the garden of the venue and start crying.
She went to Italy to work away from her family and this is what she gets.
"Seems like you have a bad day." A manly voice echoed.
She looked up to find who spoke. She look to her left side and saw a man not so close to her, leaning against the wall while smoking.
He looks hot while smoking. Her thoughts said.
"Did you saw it?" She asked him.
"Saw what?" He asked her back.
She didn't answer. She felt the man walks towards her.
"You smell like rum, oh and you're wet." He said in cold voice
"I am, that old man got mad and poured the rum over me." She rant.
"Hmm..." He seems interesting to what she is saying.
"We didn't make his request so he got mad. We can't just make what he wants." She ranted.
"I assume it's Rum Martinez" He said to her.
"Yeah, he really thinks that it's just a simple drink." She said frustratedly.
He chuckled. "Hey, relax. Here clean your face." He offered his handkerchief to her.
"Oh, thank you but I have one. That looks expensive I can't afford to change that." She said.
"Who said you will change it just accept it and clean your face." He said coldly.
"But—"
He cuts her off by wiping her lips gently.
"You want me to wipe it instead uh. Princess treatment are we?" He smirks.
"Uh no. Let me I can handle this." She said shyly.
"I insist, Angel." he said. before continuing what he is doing.
He starts to wipe her wet face with his own handkerchief.
The handkerchief look so expensive.
She felt that he's looking at her while wiping her face.
"All done, angel." He said to her after wiping her.
"Ahm, thank you. Sorry for giving you a trouble." She said to him.
"No worries, angel." He smiled at her.
"You keep on calling me angel." She said to him while playing with her fingers.
"I can't call you angel?" He asked before looking at her.
He smiled when he found out that the black haired girl is tense.
Lovely angel
"It's not like that. But you already have endearment on me. We just met today." She said.
"Well, I see you like angel so I liked to call you that." He smiled at her.
She didn't speak and stare at the city lights in front of them.
"What's your name, angel?" He asked her.
She look stunned when he asked her name."Oh. I'm Marianna, most people called me Maya."
He looks pleased when he heard her name. Marianna. She didn't tell her full name but that's fine I can still have my ways to know you more, angel. He said in his thought. "Marianna, beautiful name. But I'm still into angel."
"If that's what makes you happy then."
His eyebrow raise and he seems having a good time in this conversation. "I'm happy calling you angel."
He stand up and fix himself. For sure the party owner is looking for him. "I'll head first, angel. See you soon."
She also stand up before speaking to the man who is walking away.
"You didn't tell me your name."
The man in tuxedo look at her. "You'll find out soon when we met again."
He said before smiling at her.
"See you soon, angel." as he walk away from her.
He seems so nice and gentle to the people he met.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" The man shout as he keeping his hardest way to get off being tied.
"Relax, it's not like we were going to end your life or something. We're just asking you. Where is the chip?" The man in white tuxedo asked.
It's not white at all as it is stain by a scarlet red stain comes out to the man who's tied up.
"I'm telling you, I don't know what you we're talking about." The man being tied up in chairs seems sincere and telling the truth.
But the man in white tuxedo didn't buy his words.
"Where is the chip? Before slitting this throat of yours." The voice of the man become more cold than the usual.
"I don't know what chip you're pertaining."
"The chip that is inside your car." The man said.
"I don't know that there's a chip in there. I just bought it to my friend in lower price. Please spare me." The man said.
"Where is your friend?"
"I don't know where he is now. When I went to his house, his neighbor said he left."
"You really think, I will buy those alibi of yours, huh?" The man stepped on the man's in chair's crotch.
The man who is being tied up groan in pain.
"That's enough, Pierluigi." A man in black tuxedo who just come in spoke.
"Fratello maggiore*." The named Pierluigi said when he look at the man who comes in.
"You're late." Pierluigi said.
"No, I'm just in time before ending someone's soul." The fratello maggiore said.
"I'm not going to end someone's soul." Pierluigi said before rolling his eyes.
"Papá is looking for you." Pierluigi said.
"I know, we already met at the ground floor." The man said before sitting at the couch.
"What did he said to you?" Pierluigi asked.
"Nothing much, just business stuffs that you don't like." The man said.
Pierluigi shrugged. He doesn't like business stuffs because fir himself it's boring.
"Do you already talked to Flaviano?" The mam sitting asked.
"No, not yet. He's still busy with his... you know." Pierluigi made a face.
"Yeah, I'll asked him myself then." The man said.
Pierluigi panicked a little bit.
"I think it's better if I'm the one who asked terzo fratello* about what you want to asked." Pierluigi is making his hardest way to convince him.
"Okay and if you're going to leaving called Pietro for me. Also ask for your men to clean your mess here. Spare this soul." He said.
Pierluigi made a face before leaving. After Pierluigi comes out, a group of men comes in and clean the mess.
A man with a headphone and eyeglasses comes in.
"You need me fratello maggiore*." The man who looks nerd said after removing his headphone.
"Yes, I need you to find an information for me." The man who's still sitting on the couch said.
The man in eyeglass smirked at him. "Sure. But my talent is not for free." He said.
The man shrugged and rolled his eyes.
"Name your price." The man asked.
"I want your private island in the Philippines." He said while smiling.
"Which one?"
"The one in northern." The man said before fixing his glasses.
"Okay, yours."
"So, what information is this?"
"Find a woman named Marianna." The man sitting in the couch said.
"Okay, Marianna what?" The man in eyeglasses asked.
"I don't her full name." The man said nonchalantly.
"The hell?"
"That's why I want you to find the woman named Marianna." the man sitting said.
"There's a lot of Marianna in this cruel world." the nerd guy said.
"Just give me any appearances she have."
"Okay, she have a small waist. big breast, creamy skin, and red kissable lips." the man said while looking at the other man in front of him who is stunned.
The man in eyeglasses look so shocked and his lips parted to what he heard.
"The hell, man? Did you just fantasize a woman?"
"You said give you appearances she have. I gave you what you need." The man sitting looks frustrated.
"I mean appearances in her face. Her eye color, the color of her hair and etc."
"Oh, you should tell me earlier."
"You dumbass."
"Her hair color is black, shining black, a little wavy. She has a thick eyebrows, almond shaped eyes, dark brown colored. Not so pointed nose, chubby cheeks and those red kissable lips." The man said.
"Wow, did you just memorize her? What else any marks in her face or neck like moles or scar?" The man in eyeglasses seems interesting.
"She has a mole under her right eye." The man said.
Meanwhile the man in eyeglasses seems investing to what he hears.
"Okay, I'll get your information and send it tomorrow." The man in eyeglasses said before walking away.
But before he totally walks out the door he speaks.
"Looks like my fratello maggiore* is getting in big trouble." He smirk while saying that.
"Whatever and get out."
