Alessandro's POV:

enzo and i walked over to lucas' body laying on the ground we picked it up and put it in the back of the car

we drove back to the warehouse and took it down to the basement as enzo lit up the fireplace and we cut his body up into pieces and put them in the fireplace

once we were done we watched the pieces of his body burn up in our eyes. i felt some type of relief from it. it calmed me. the power that i held grew more and more knowing that no one can fuck with me and what's mine

she may not know it yet but she is mine. she will be one day

i looked over at enzo who was watching his body part burn. "how are we going to get the money from him now?" he asked me still watching the body burn

"forget it. we have more important things to do. i'm not worried about him or the money" i said with a blank expression as i walked out the warehouse to the main house.

i walked inside the main house to see johnny in the kitchen getting something out of the fridge

"Nicole has a piercing appointment with me next week. i have no reason to go to the shop. but if you would rather be go to the shop for her appointment i will" he told me saying nothing else as i stared at him

i thought for a minute... "no, she can come here next week it's fine. just text her the address when you get the chance and tell her to tell the guards she's here for you." i said rubbing my forehead

"thanks boss." he said as he nodded and walked off

this should be good, i thought to myself while walking up the stairs to my bedroom i shut the door and sighed pouring a glass of whiskey as i heard a knock at my door

i opened it to see heather in a lingerie set. are you kidding me. is she dumb? dear god.

"what" i said as i looked her up and down almost as if she was dumb

"i-i just thought you would want some company. that's all" biting her lip softly

"i don't want your fucking company, it'll never happen again dumbass, now get out of my face. before i shoot you right in the head. you're fired" i slammed the door in her face and heard her walking down the hallway softly crying

"dumb bitch" i said breathing out and laying on my bed and then my phone rang

it was from one of the managers i hired at the club i own in Manhattan. called "DareDevils"

"boss we got company tonight. i heard the valentino's will be here tonight around 10. just letting you know" he said

"Thank you matt i'll be there tonight" i hung up the phone and called enzo

"call everyone to the main house. we won't be leaving tomorrow for the mission. it's tonight. the valentino's will be there"

i walked into my office to see everyone already sitting. and all eyes went on me. they all stood and sat back down

"tonight we will be at DareDevils. we don't need any hackers. but we need spies and assassins. we have enough guards surrounding the whole club. if any of you fuck this i promise tonight will be the last night you live."

"luca our assassin. will be keeping a close eye on Valentino. but will also be waiting in a room for him ready to kill him"

"our spies will be watching everyone but also him with a very close eye. do not let him out of your sight. and if you do i promise it will not be good. understood?"

"yes boss" as they all shook their heads

"good. you can go now. be ready at 10. enzo i need you to stay"

everyone left and enzo was the only person inside the room. he raised his eyebrow and walked to my desk

"i need you to go to Nicole's apartment and tell her to be ready at 10 and that you will pick her up then. go it?" i said sternly

"yes sir, but are you sure you want to bring her tonight? i mean this could put her in danger." he said in a confused tone

"i don't care. go to her apartment and tell her to be ready by 10 now" i said in a strong voice but not getting angry

"yes sir" and enzo walked out of the room leaving only me in there. i walked out and went to shower and count our weapon supply
