ENZO'S POV "I don't know what has gotten into you Enzo, you keep slacking over every single thing, you couldn't capture the man that stole from us and now you have been robbed!" My father yelled pacing the room like an angry warrior while our family nurse attended to my injuries. I don't know how he got the news of the attack, but I had a feeling Isabella had something to do with it, I knew without a single doubt! She must have called him to nag about my sudden leave and then he put the pieces together. And by the time I got home, he was right there, with his men and the nurse. "Nobody expects an attack father" I countered. "Of course I know that, but what disturbs me is how low the enemy thinks of you, infiltrating our empire like that? You have been such a b***h and that must have given them the effrontery to do that" he retorted. I swallowed the rest of my words as I paid attention to the way the nurse dressed my words. At this point, talking to him was of no use, he was livid and I know nothing I say to him will make any sense so I keep shut. "Is this how you are going to take over my empire?? You can't even manage the quarter I have given to you, there has been loss of funds, constantly disappearing men and less profit from your end. Do you think this is a child's game Enzo?" He fired again, grabbing a glass of whiskey from one of his men as he downed it at a go. "No father. But this attack was well planned and I suspect it's insider work" I said again in my defense. Immediately he paused, and at the wave of his hands, all the men Wales left the room, leaving him, the nurse and I. "Repeat that again" He ordered in a much calmer tone. "Think about it father, our system is quite tight and only our men that operate around the warehouse are family with it, no outsider can breach this security so how did they get away with it smoothly?" I proposed. "So you are saying amongst your batch of men, there is a spy?" "I have thought about it in different ways Father, this is the only suitable suggestion to whatever must have transpired at the warehouse, someone from within is with the enemy" "And whose fault is that?" He threw back at me. "Father??" "You go easy on your men, granting them mercy like you are some sort of Jesus Christ, that is the reason why this happened!" He roared. I took a deep breath, shaking my head as I reached out for my phone. "You have seen how I handle my men, do you think any of them would go behind me and try something as nasty as this??" He continued. "Father..." "You are going to find out who this spy is, and you are going to get rid of him, and you have thirty days Enzo, if you don't find that spy, I don't think you are capable of taking over from me" There he goes again, threatening me like being the Mafia Don was my sole purpose on earth. My fists clenched as I stood up from the couch, my eyes darting towards the door, praying and hoping that Sofia doesn't show up. Because that would mean more trouble for me. "I promise you father, I will find who is responsible for this and I will make him pay dearly" I gave my word. Not just because he ordered me to do so, because whoever was responsible for this cost the lives of my men. People who have been loyal to me for years, causing endless pain to their families. I made a mental note to ask my assistant to compensate each of their families as that was the least I could do. "That's all you ever do, promise and promise, you are thin ice my boy, very thin ice." My father stated. "I'm very tired and I would like to rest now" I answered. In my own words, I was sending him out of my house. Not once did he stand over there, and check on my wound, or did he care about the men I had lost. All of his concern was the pride of the empire which was now threatened. I didn't need all of that. Not now. "Thirty days is all you have" he answered, giving me one last look, he walked out of the room, with the nurse behind him and about a few minutes later, I heard the sound of the cars driving away before silence fell over completely. I took one deep breath before heading towards the kitchen, and then I saw her. Sofia. She had her earphones plugged to her ears as she stirred the pan while swaying her waist to the sound of the music she was listening to. No wonder she didn't show up. I knew she was one inquisitive cat, and probably with all the noise and the endless men, I expected her to hover around or try something funny but she was extremely busy. Thank goodness my father's visit was short. If not? "Is this what you do all day?" I asked to take her earphones. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as she turned to face me, I caught her completely off guard and weirdly I found myself smiling at the surprised look on her face. "You..." She started as her eyes fell on the bandage wrapped around my arm. "What happened to you?" She asked instead, a brief look of concern showing on her face as she turned off the cooker. "Do you care?" I threw back at her. "Right, I don't" she answered, turning around. "Where is Mrs Grossi?" I asked, looking around, as the realization hit me, she didn't show up either, even when my father was here. "I took her to the hospital, the doctor advised she stays on bed rest for at least twenty four hours..., your Fiance hit her hard" Sofia answered, ending the last part with so much sarcasm that I almost laughed. Isabella was such a b***h. I groaned, rubbing my temple, wondering how I put up with her for years. "That was thoughtful, thank you" the words slipped out of my mouth. Sofia shot me a look as she grabbed a plate. "Are you saying thank you?" She asked. "I'm not saying it again, I will be in my room, bring me dinner" I answered instead. Once I was in my room, I took off my shirt carefully, making sure I didn't ruin the dressing of the wound. Even though it was just a graze, the bullet still hurt as hell. Standing in front of the mirror, the memories of everything that has happened in the last few hours replayed in my mind over and over again. How I couldn't do anything and just watch my men die, one after the other. And my father's constant nagging? I went from being relaxed to angry in less than a minute. And then the door burst open. Sophia walked in casually, "here is your fo..." She never got to complete that statement as she looked up, because I was stark naked. Holding just my phone in my hands. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry" she muttered, dropping the tray on the table carefully while looking away. If only she knew that she was right on time. I cleared my throat, taking small steps towards her. "Why are you sorry?" I asked. "I should have knocked or something..." "Well it's good you didn't, because you get to service me tonight" I stated, and instead of moving closer to her, I sat down on the edge of the bed, spreading my legs. "What?" "Did you forget you signed a contract or what?" I threw back at her angrily. "I know..I just..." "Be a good girl, get on your knees and suck me!" I ordered.
