"I didn't even know who you were, my research was only concentrated on the ones who took out dad, believe me I only found out about you after I got here, and since you weren't on my hit list I had no real interest in you."
"Wait, your hit list, what the fuck, you're not hitting anybody, what the hell would I tell our kids?"
"Uhhh, what do you plan on telling them about you?"
"I'm a man; my boys will expect me to handle shit."
"First of all, our daughters aren't going to be anywhere near this mess....."
"When's the wedding?"
That Alphonso prick piped in, I wasn't sure about him, he seems to like egging her on, encouraging her in shit. Her father had been a little tongue in cheek when he'd made that crack about her not wanting anything to do with the business too.
"Wait, what wedding, nobody asked me about this."
"Dad you're dead, and I'm eighteen nobody needs your permission to do anything."
"That's what you think, do you have any idea what the ciuccio that marries you stand to inherit, he'll become my heir."
"No he wouldn't, stop it dad..."
"Of course he would, since you refuse the position, which is a pain in my heart, but he would become heir in your stead; but bambina, this medigan?"
"Roberto, how many times must I tell you, come out of the dark ages brother, besides you know la Principessa never does the expected?"
"Yeah Al but....."
"Can we get back to the matter at hand, and I'll ignore the insults Rossi, just don't make it a habit."
Badass or not, no one was going to disrespect me on my turf, future father in law or not.
"What matter would that be young blood?"
"The matter of why my future wife was here in the first place, someone in my territory put a hit out on you?"
"Yeah, you could say that, but it goes deeper than that, it was a takeover attempt that was supposed to cover the whole of the Western faction."
"What do you mean take over the whole of the west, that would include me and that shit's not about to happen, what's going on?"
"Well it's like this, you have a family here that's associated with a family in my back yard, these two fucks got together and cooked up a scheme of how to take over, they were going to hit me first and then after a little time had gone by and the heat died down they were coming for you and all the other heads, but since you and I are the strongest opposition we were first."
"Yeah but my dealings don't mesh with yours and your territory ends a state over from here, so how did I get involved?"
"Didn't I just say they want the whole of the West?"
"And how does Mouth play into this, if she is your heir....."
"She was supposed to be forced to marry Carlo Stacco."
"The fuck you say?"
Chapter 5
Prince of the City
"You're not fucking marrying Carlo Stacco. The fuck?" She rolled her eyes at me before giving me the 'you're stupid' look. I walked to where she was standing and dragged her into my side.
The two murdering old fucks got a chuckle out of that.
"I didn't say she was going to marry the prick, I said that's what they were going to try. Get her to marry him so he could lead through her or at least that's what the organization was supposed to believe. Like we're fucking dopes, but our girl flew the coop before they could put that shit in motion.
Which brings me back to my question, what're you doing in this dump?"
"My place isn't a fucking dump, what I want to know is how the fuck did you get in here?"
"Son that's my specialty. Getting in and out of places."
I gave Mouth a squeeze; I guess that answered the question of how she got out of my bedroom.
When he grinned at her, I knew I'd been right, the fuck had taught her all he knew most likely. If I caught her doing any more of that mob shit I was gonna kick her ass. My wife was supposed to be a stay at home mom who baked fucking cookies and shit, just like ma, not running around the place picking locks. Fuck my life, why me?
"My guards downstairs didn't see you two come in, I wanna know how you got into my place without being noticed."
"Can't share trade secrets son, not until you're part of the family anyways." Her jerk of an uncle was really beginning to work my fucking nerves.
"Is anyone going to tell me what the fuck's going on here, I don't like too many of you on my turf, I get kinda twitchy when other bosses stay too long in my backyard, especially without my invite."
Boss of bosses or not, no one was going to disrespect me, then again he was my new father in law so I could be a little more lenient, somebody's head was gonna roll though cause there's no way they breeched my security, I'm not that fucking green.
