MAFIA KING'S ANGEL MAFIA KING'S ANGEL

LEONARDO'S POV

Sitting here negotiating with this Russian idiot is doing my head in. Trying to talk sense into his head is like hitting my head against the wall.

Sergei

I only want 40% of the profit. I am giving you such a huge consignment of ammunitions.

Leonardo

Sergei, you know I don't give commissions over 10% but because you go way back with my Padre, I agreed to go up to 15%.

(Padre father in Italian)

Sergei

Leonardo, times are changing. And so is the cost. I might as well go out to Rossi and take his counter offer over you. He's paying 18% already.

Armando

uh-oh

Telling me he's going to sell his consignment to Rossi over me is a joke in itself. If I am not paying this jerk anymore than 15%, there's no way Rossi will be able to take the deal. I leaned on to the table glaring at Sergei and brought out my gun. I put it on the table with a thud before looking up again. His men brought out their guns as well but none had the balls to aim them at me or my men. Meanwhile, my guys are just standing there uninterested as ever.

Leonardo

You think... that Rossi.. will be able to give you more commission than I do?

Sergei

I know he will. He told me he will pay 2% more than what you do.

Leonardo

So Sergei, even if I agree to your demands, you still might go ahead and sell the ammo to Rossi if he pays you 2% more?

His eyes popped out in panic knowing I caught his white lie.

Sergei

I ..i.ahhhh

Leonardo

Next time you try to blackmail me in to agreeing to your demands like this, I will gladly put a bullet right between your eyes. Don't worry about your men and allies, I can wipe out your entire army and no one will find a trace

The guy was sweating like a waterfall right now in his suit. I kept staring at him for a few seconds driving my point home.

Luca

Come on Fratello. I am hungry. Can we go?

(Fratello brother in Italian)

I took a deep breath and released it as I stood up.

Leonardo

You are getting 13% commission on the consignment and that's it. If I hear one more word out of your god damn whinging self, I will gladly call off the deal with you and go through Mikhail who will be ok to go ahead with 10%.

Sergei

You agreed at 15% Leonardo. Why 13% now?

Leonardo

You took an extra half a hour of my day wasting it with your silly demands. So f*ck it. It's 13% or the deal's off!

Sergei

13 it is.

Leonardo

good

Armando

We will be in New York from tomorrow for the weekend. The delivery should be here by next week. No later.

Sergei

understood

I walked out without another word. My younger brother Luca and best friend Armando followed me to the car to go home.

Armando

I don't trust him, Leo.

Leonardo

Neither do I. Keep an eye on him.

Luca

You think he's selling to Rossi as well

Leonardo

Like I said, keep an eye on him.

I am not who I am by guessing shit. My eyes and ears are always open. I already know Sergei is trying to double cross me but he hasn't had a chance to do it yet.

My name is Leonardo Rafael Vintelli, 29 years old and the head of Vintelli Mafia. We live in Rome, Italy. But our dealing and mafia extends to America. Matthew Cadence works with us looking after the dealings from New York. He has been long term friends with my father and is a good friend of mine. His older son William is taking over from Him this week and we will be flying to New York for the party. To be honest, I hate the f*cker. He doesn't have any ethics, is cold towards his own family and of course is friends with that asshole Daniel Rossi. I already know I am going to have to find someone new to look after our business in America once William take over as he hates me for some reason. The only reason we were still working with the Cadences was because of Padre and Matthew's friendship. And then there's her. Anika Cadence!

Matthew's daughter. She's breathtakingly beautiful and is the only girl who gets my heart doing somersaults every single time I see her. We have never actually spoken. She is quite withdrawn from everything. Always keeps to herself or her younger brother Levi. I have wanted her for as long as I can remember but I never made a move on my feelings considering our relationship with Matthew. Yea I have had flings here and there but never anything serious. The thing with Anika feels like a dead end at times. We never speak. I only see her around at home when I visit them. But damn, I can't take my eyes off her every time. She gets more beautiful every time I see her. We got home and I made my way inside
