The Mafia Boss Plaything

Chapter 7: Tough choices.

SERGIO’S POV

Why did I do that? f**k!

Her beautiful eyes were wide open watching me like a lamb led to the slaughter. She was open and bare to me and even as she was scared her fear made me hard.

Telling her to get naked was just my way of pushing her buttons and I wanted to see her body. It intrigued me. Seeing her long expanse of open thigh through her short flirty skirt made me inquisitive.

she’s a beautiful woman, I have not met a woman that turned me into a horny schoolboy in such a way in a long time. When you are a man with so much power, money, wealth, attractive and a dangerous edge you attract a lot of women.

I stand in the front of the mirror in my bathroom. I am very attractive and I know that. From a young age I already had women throwing themselves at me. In my teens my nanny tried to seduce me, papa caught her and I never saw her again. I am sure it was my mama that handled it.

The dangerous, mysterious quality I have seem to draw women to me like moth to a flame. It should make them pause and distance themselves at my track record. Known to be viscous and lethal they should run for the hills, but they dig the bad boy vibes and I use it to my advantage.

I have had model, beauty queens, actresses and no one has ever made me lose control like I did tonight.

Sex is a game and weapon. I use It for my advantage, I control it, but I was been led by it and it won’t happen again.

“Leonardo… meet me in my office in twenty minutes.” I grunt into the phone.

“yes boss.” the line goes dead.

Leonardo, my second in command and my best friend. Growing up together our paths have been set already before we even reached our teens. He is my enforcer and my most trusted adviser. He was trained to take over from his father who is my father’s right hand man and I was trained and molded to take over the reins of power. He knows me better than anyone and there are things about me that only him knows.

Putting on my suit I head to my office.

Opening the door and my men fall into place around me. I exude power and confidence. The men that surround me are hardened and some of the deadliest. They have all proven themselves to the family. Now for me to be the boss and head of men that are even older than I am I must have proved to have what it took to lead the Costello family. For years most of the men here and their families have been loyal to us, to have the kind of control I do, I show no weakness, I became swift and unreadable and most of all unpredictable. Those that have gone against me are not here to talk about it. Their bodies are somewhere in the ocean, food for sea predators.

I am seated in my office when Leo enters.

“hey boss.”

I nod in greeting.

“leave us.”

The guards standing by the door all walk out.

“I assume you have something to say to me.” folding my arms and leaning back on the chair I watch him take two steps in my direction and stop.

“Sergio, you know I have the ultimate respect for you and as your best friend now, not your enforcer, I think you made a bad call yesterday. You let the chica go??” He states.

“I did.” I tell him.

“oh that wasn’t a question Sergio.” he states like he can’t believe me.

“my bad.” I add with a small smirk. His eyes narrow at me and I hold back my pleased smile. It was always fun riling him up when we were growing up and even now. It never gets old.

“you let her go.. we have enemies and now the new guy they transferred from boston to come and head the police department is snooping into business that is not his. For now till we have all our cards on the table and know their intentions we can’t be lenient. If we catch a snooper we kill him or her.” he says.

I know he is right. If we catch a snooper or anyone that seem to be lurking around they were dealt with. We have enemies. Some are more open than others while some are veiled. Secret enemies that eat at your table and pretend to be part of the Costello empire but want to tear it down. We don’t take those chances.

“I know she was beautiful but there are tons of beautiful women out there for your picking. Call venita she would gladly get on a plane and meet you here under the hour if you want to get your d**k wet. She’s one among many.” he berates me.

“i hear you mate. I hear you loud and clear. You know I can read when people lie to me and she wasn’t lying. It just seemed like a waste of human life for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.” I tell him.

“huhmmp.” That’s all he says.

He is right and I know it. I can’t be emotional or let lust rule me when I am to make a decision again. All these was not built on emotions.

“so tell me, how did the meeting with Ricardo go? Did your men find the stolen merchandise?” I ask.

“yes boss. We did. Exactly where he said we would find it.” he says.

We have reverted back into boss and enforcer mode.

“at least he wasn’t lying about that. It hits the whole family hard when we lose a man but when they came to us, they pledged their loyalty and that is one thing we cannot compromise on.”

“you are right boss.” he says.

“so you have moved them to a secure location?”

“yes boss.”

“alright that’s good.” I add.

“Your dad called for an emergency meeting, he said to inform you beforehand about his plans to meet with all the heads of family. About something important. You should call him. He called to speak to you last night but you were…. Engaged. Also your mum sent food over.” Leo says.

“i will call dad back and send mama flowers for me will you?” I tell him.

“send her those white lily flowers she likes.” I tell him.

Now that I am the head of the whole family she still can’t stop treating me like a child still. Babying me and I don’t oppose to it cause she’s still going to do what she wants to do and no one stops her, not even my dad. Her word in that house is law and everyone knows that.

“any other arrangement or meeting for the day??.” I ask.

“actually no. there was this meeting with Mr Torres from mexico but he canceled. Something about getting into problems with the FBI. He is getting that settled. But I want to suggest we do business with someone else. One thing that keeps people long in this business is honesty and when your clients and business partners trust your word. The word of a Costello is as good as solid here but we can’t trust this man. He is shady and have a reputation for being a cheat.” he explains.

I had a bad inkling about him but decided to see the show that he was apparently putting on for us unravel before his eyes. That’s the thing about men like him. They think they are big, strong and can play with the big alphas till they see that they are way out of their elements. It would have been amusing to watch his composure break as time went on and he discovered the hole he had dug himself into.

‘Well, I think so too. We can get other contacts and see how we can move this along soonest.” I tell him.

“yes boss.” he nods and turns to leave.

Just as he is getting to the door.

“Leo..” I call out

“yes boss?” he turns around and looks at me expectantly.

“I need you to do a background check on someone for me. Julia Winters, she’s a student here in Italy. That’s all the information I have.”

“alright boss. On it.” he nods and heads out.

He would obviously disagree with my seeming obsession with this girl but I can’t get those big violet eyes out of my mind. I need to find out all I can about her and I need to see her again.

‘What is about you ?? why can’t I stop thinking about you?” I ask out loud.

It might just be the fact that on one has made me hard with a simple look. I close my eyes and see her face in my head. f**k.
