Just for her
giacomo
--In that you're right son, I'll think about your request.- He sighed. - When we get back, I'll give you an answer. - He turned around looking at Jack - What about you Jackson, you are the second oldest man in the Costellos and I believe that the death of the two sisters must have affected the three so when do you intend to take a wife?
I turned my face to watch my brother, lowering the documents and putting them in his briefcase, picking up his glass of drink and taking a calm sip, opening a discreet smile at Don, his reputation as a kid is not small and most families try to keep your little girls away from Jackson Costello.
You're right Sir, this mourning moved us in an inexplicable way.- He sighed- The first to marry by tradition must be Giacomo, but rest assured that as soon as this happens, the next one to ask for a blessing will be me.
I swallowed all the anger keeping the character faithful and complacent, the Don's face broke into a smile, probably because he was amazed at the possibility of Jack getting married.
Already have someone in sight? He arched an eyebrow at the speculation.
Not yet sir. - He smiled.
I didn't make a point of prolonging the conversation and let the man mull over his thoughts for the rest of the trip to Arizona.
So, I got off the plane accompanying them to the car expecting to feel the vibration of the cell phone.
- Careful, go back for lunch*
I made an unimaginable effort to hide my happiness at Giulia's positive response, feeling that whatever shit my sisters did I would still be grateful to them.
We arrived at the Riina property being greeted by an intense exchange of fire between some soldiers and an apparent invasion inside the large mansion.
The Don followed behind, protecting himself and acting when necessary, as if he insisted on doing a lot of Cowardly things.
Inside the mansion things were all destroyed, Mario Riina's body lying lifeless on the floor, I ordered some men to patrol inside the property to look for more invaders.
As I entered the office next to Don Sartori, soon his Counselor arrived home and began to analyze each role played.
I kept away with Jack in the corner of the room, waiting for orders, within an hour after looking through several papers I watched the man turn red the two start destroying things in the office and call some soldiers to take the things they say are important.
I exchange a sideways glance with Jack, curious to understand what's in these papers but prefer to wait.
I hope you're looking forward to the wedding Giacomo - I lift my head confused by the man's abrupt change. - You'll take over the Riina's business in New York, so I hope you don't mind running out of honeymoon.
Seriously and I feel a mix of emotions, damn…. taking over the nightclubs and allying my family's drugs with them will generate a commotion within the organization, they will see us with different eyes in the face of this show of confidence by Don.
Of course sir. - He approaches and extends his hand, kiss on the organization's jewel. - Thank you for the trust godfather.
I speak with my head down, receiving a squeeze on the shoulder to fix our gaze.
Consider it a gift for your loyalty - He snorts running his hand through his hair - Looks like this is missing, get ready to chop off heads son.
I nod in agreement with his orders, understanding that his witch hunt is about to begin and he's finally going to put me off the radar by his side.
Jackson, I can't be without my enforcer at headquarters so I believe I can sort out this mess and handle this part of the estate. - Says seriously in an order, facing my brother.
I'll give my best lord.” He nods and leaves the room.
We stood there looking like two statues looking at Bernardi, pissed off separating some more things. He stops staring at us and starts moving a box towards the exit.
It's not a pretty way to climb the hierarchy under someone else's betrayal - I arch my eyebrow, after all I didn't ask for anything. - But make good use of the opportunity Giacomo.
Count on it Bernardi. - I answer succinctly waiting for him to leave.
I stare at Jack in astonishment shaking my head and then we hear some screams, run in the direction and find a man being beaten by the Don.
Fuck, the old man is really pissed - Jack mutters in my ear.
I contain the answer by watching the man.
Before long, he opens his mouth and begins to say that they did a file burning since the Riina had some kind of agreement with Ortega, informing him about a property of his within our territory as proof of the betrayal. To finish with a flourish, the man says that Salvatore Riina killed Stefano for discovering the connection with the Mexicans and that Mario broke an agreement with Ortega himself, who decided to deal with the situation by killing the two traitors.
But the Don's fury was not contained, wanting the head of someone angry for not having killed the rats.
We got some more information from the man, and organized everything to invade the mansion, which only made the Don angrier since there were few men and Ortega himself was already far away according to them.
I waited for him to leave before I had to head back to the airport before dark with Sartori, and I hugged Jack so no one could hear.
That old fox didn't swallow it whole.
Well, find a way to make him swallow it. I don't know what the fuck they did to achieve this, but we need to move our own Giacomo pieces. - He replied pulling away and placing his hand on my cheek in greeting.
I squeezed his shoulder and headed toward Sartori's cars.
He won't believe this story, it's obvious that something was missing, hm... I need to find a way to participate in what he wants to look for in the documents, so I'll get an idea of what's missing.
It could be the perfect opportunity to take down the De Angelis.
I walked towards the Escalade departing towards the Airport, with Sartori's orders I dismissed my pilot to accompany him on the flight back in the organization's plane along with the Counselor. Giuseppe remains silent in the direction, in these long years working together the soldier always keeps a respectful distance while at the same time he throbs without an ounce of fear in losing his tongue which ended up strengthening our relationship, today I consider him a good friend, but business is business and I cannot risk putting my brothers in danger just for the sake of venting or conjecture a few things.
However, he's always known of my desire for Giulia since I first saw her in that cemetery, I'm still shocked by the little angel's ability to imagine anything less than perfect. The blue eyes gleaming with fear and uncertainty must have been marked by the two idiots who unfortunately descended from the same womb. My mission to win this marriage will be more than an agreement, I will do everything to give her the best, that needs to be enough for her to forgive me, because I will destroy every part of those two unfortunates with pleasure.
