"Hey."
"Just letting you know your fiancée moved out today."
"That 's it, Luigi?"
"Your brother told you that he arrived, but that he hasn't come to this house yet."
"It could only be involved with some skirt tail. Anything else?"
"No boss."
"Then get back to work."

I turned off my cell phone and carefully put it in my pocket, I didn't want it to get blood on it.
Ever since I found out that Camille was coming to live with me, I knew that I wouldn't have peace, no matter how calm she was, I don't like the idea of having to share my house and my bed with any woman. But like everything in the mafia, the time has come, I have to obey my law, every king needs a queen and now it's my turn.
"Boss, do you intend to continue?" asked one of my agents. I gave him a deadly look, which made him immediately understand what I wanted.
I sat back down in my chair, put on the glove, and picked up the pliers again.
"I don't know anything, please," the man in front of me pleaded.
I held the pliers and took them to his nail, held them, and pulled slowly so that he could feel all the pain he could feel at that moment. His screams echoed through the warehouse, they were like music to my ears. From the beginning, everyone knew that no one betrayed me, no one turned their back on the mafia.
"I'm waiting for you to tell me, what they intend to do now?" I said calmly so he had time to think.
"I already told you I don't know," he shouted at me. Which was a lie, in all these years I've learned to spot when people lie to me and this one was lying.
"It's a shame you insist on saying that because your nails are gone, how about we play with your teeth now?" said a demonic smile.
"No, please, I don't know…," I grabbed his jaw and Caio held his head, forcing it to stay up and with its mouth open.
I grabbed his tooth, I think it was a molar, and started rocking it slowly. With every movement I made, I felt his body trembling in pain and he groaned until his tooth pulled out, which squirted blood onto my shirt. His scream was accompanied by his confession.
"I'll talk, but please stop," he said crying. They don't make mobsters like they used to, that's very weak, I thought.
"If I had told you before, I would have saved all this suffering. Now tell me at once," I said, no longer patient, now I would have to stop my fun.
"They are going to use your brother, they put a woman to cross his path," he said
I couldn't believe they would use a child for such dirty revenge. I got up from the chair with even more hatred.
"You earned the right to die with a minimum of dignity," I grabbed the gun that was in the waistband of my pants and shot him in the head. "Leave his body at the door of his house."
I immediately picked up my phone and made the call.

"Yes, boss."
"Immediately find out where Antônio is and who he is with. I want him home as soon as possible.
"Boss, you know that Antônio doesn't like being followed, and forgive me for saying, he gets to be smarter than you when he wants to hide."
"Luigi, remind me to reduce our friendship, you're getting too honest. I just think he's right, okay?"
CONNECT OFF
Luigi was my right-hand man, a friend for many years, and a lot of trouble too. He was always by my side even in the worst possible moments and he has also killed for me, just as I have killed for him.
I was still his boss, but at certain times I think he forgot that, and sometimes I had to take some heavier measures so that no one thought I was choosing a new replacement, even though there was already someone who would take over the position in the future.
I got in my car and went back to the hotel, I still had almost a week to go home, and honestly, I wasn't happy about going back, since my fiancee would be waiting there.
I had never seriously thought about getting married, but as I had to, I chose the best one the mafia could offer, and as a bonus, I managed to get a wonderful contract with our alliance.
But having to share my life with someone I didn't know didn't make me happy at all. Maybe we can live in harmony even though we don't have feelings between us. I'll give her what she needs, I just can't promise that I'll give her anything other than sex. The only time I felt something for someone was a long time ago, and it only lasted one night, a night that I can't forget to this day. That woman bewitched me and then disappeared even though she had my contacts, I could never find her.
Since my parents were murdered, exactly 3 years ago, I took charge of the family, I ended up becoming a Dom before my time, but that made me stronger, made me see what I needed to do and that's how I became Morte Nera, or death star. I confess that I like this nickname, and I make every word count, I consider myself the death star.
I arrive at the hotel and go straight to the shower, I don't want to feel anymore that smell of blood, I take off my clothes and put them aside to go in the trash, no evidence.
Before I can relax with my glass of whiskey and a cigarette, my phone rings, I look at the number, hoping it's news from Antônio but it's my fiancée Camile, what does she want?
CONNECT ON
"Yes."
"Mr. Salvatore?"
"For God's sake Camille, we already fucked, so you can call me by name now.,
"Right."
"Get straight to the point, why did you call me? If you called me it's because you want to ask for something, be direct."
"I have a friend who unfortunately ended up homeless, and I would like to ask you if she can live here with me. Of course, she will work for me, or it could be with her brother, as a secretary. What do you think? "
"You know how things are Camille, you know she can't know anything, right? Otherwise, I have no objection. Now I need to rest, I'll be there in a few days.
"Thanks, Dominick."
CONNECT OFF
One more that I would have to investigate and monitor, I don't like having people who aren't from the mafia in my house, but since I was taking Camille away from her family, I didn't see a problem in letting her bring this woman home. At least I would have someone to spend the days with and they wouldn't bother me.
Two days later.
Two days later and I was still waiting for news about Antônio, I ordered Luigi to meet me, and he had just arrived.
"And then?" I asked impatiently.
"He's off the radar, Dominick, but I heard the news that he did meet a woman," he said. I never showed feelings, perhaps because they no longer existed, but knowing that my brother was in danger shook me.
"Get the jet ready, I'll be back today," he said. "I'm going to show that boy who's boss."
