《Mi Reina》Chapter Seven - Busy
Advertisement
Since today was a weekday, Nicolas was at preschool and so I had nothing better to do than to sit in my office at home.
I was going through all the paperwork and the information of the shipments that would arrive this week when the door suddenly opened.
There were only a few people who did that. My Dad, my Mom and Antonio.
I never allowed Nicolas to see the guns or anything in the house and never let him enter my office. I didn't want him seeing such violence at a young age.
I looked up and there stood none other than my ass hat of a brother. "Hey, Bro! Whatcha doin'?"
"Just some paperwork. You need something ?" I replied.
"Yeah, actually. Callum wanted to meet at the warehouse. He said that he found something from the day of the raid." He explained.
As soon as he said those words, I saw red. On that day at the park, I was so furious. The Don of the Italian mafia, Lorenzo, had the god-damn nerve to attack at the park.
He definitely knew that Nicolas and I go there quite often. The fact that he did it in broad daylight when there were other children and families there too, angered me even more.
That night, after Xia left, I told my men and Callum to find out whatever they could.
I know that the ones who attacked that day were his men because of their signature black balaclavas that had the words 'nato per morire' embroidered on them which means 'born to die' in Italian.
Callum is my tech guy. He is the best tracker and hacker who I've ever worked with in the last few years.
He's a good friend of mine and since he works with me in the mafia, he knows how to fight to but doesn't specialize in it; Antonio does.

"Alright. I'll be there in a while. I have to pick Nic from school and then reach him home. After that I'll take him to Xia's bakery." I informed.
Now that I think about her, it's been a week since I've seen Xia. The day after she left our house, Nicolas has been asking to meet her.
Initially he would say that he wanted to see her but now he has been asking for cookies; the one's that she makes.
He says that he misses her so I told him that I would take him there if he went to school, came back home and did his homework, then I would take him to the bakery.
I wonder why he is eager to see her. And for some weird reason, I'm excited too.
When I first laid my eyes on her at the park, I had forgotten how to breathe. I thought of her beautiful face, her eyes that were a warm hazel color and her curly brown gradient hair that was in a ponytail but still cascaded over her shoulders.
She saw me with a gun on that day and I can only hope that she hasn't said anything to the police.
Although, even if she did, I'll will have no problem getting out from that mess.
A playful smirk spread across his lips. Here we go; he's either about to say or do something really stupid...or maybe both.
"So....Xia, huh ?" He wiggled his eyebrows.
"¡Dios mío. Stop acting like that." I rolled my eyes.
"Like what ?" He asked defensively.
"Like Mom, when I told her that I would try finding someone to become the Donna of the mafia." I elaborated.
"Ohhhkkaaayyy..." He dragged the word.
I shook my head in disbelief and watched him leave the room.....without closing the damn door.

He even turned around, giving me a sly smile, knowing how much I hated that.
Just then, the telephone on my desk rang, bringing me out of my thoughts. I picked up the call, "Hello ?"
"Boss ? It's me." A voice said and I immediately recognized the voice to be Callum's. "I'm not sure if Antonio has informed you yet but I have something on the attack that took place last week. It's very sensitive information."
"Alright. I'll be there soon." I stated.
"Okay, bye." Callum said quickly and disconnected the call.
I had to leave now and go to the warehouse because he said that it was sensitive information which meant that it was really important.
I guess I won't be able to take Nic to the bakery today to meet Xia after school.
I'm really sorry, Buddy.
"No Dadda..... but why not ?" Nicolas whined on the other line of the phone.
"Nic, I'm really busy but Uncle Toni could take you." I suggested, trying to cheer him up.
"But I wanna go with you, not him." He mumbled.
"Well, that hurt." I heard Antonio's voice in the background of the call.
My heart broke at how sad he sounded. "I promise I'll make it up to you. Just tonight, okay ?"
"Okay, Dadda. Goodnight." He said and a moment later, I heard my brother speaking.
"Hey, don't worry. I'll stay here until you come."
"Thanks man. Bye, I gotta go." I said and shoved my phone back into the pocket of my jeans.
When I had gone to the warehouse to meet Callum a few hours ago, he showed me CCTV camera footage of Lorenzo himself standing outside a cafe that was just opposite the children's park.
He was sipping something from a cup and gazed ahead like he enjoying the view of children and innocent families bleed to death.
Ese hijo de puta se va a morir en mis manos.
The three of us; Callum, Antonio and I schemed a pretty good plan. We've known the location of their hideout for a few months now and this was the advantage that we had over them.
They're already anticipating for us to attack their previous location not knowing that we know their new one.
How we know ? Let's just say that Callum is a really good hacker and managed to breach into their security cameras so now we have a full view of everything happening there.
All we have to do now is wait for a few more days which is enough time for them to let their guard down and then we'll attack when they least expect it.
Just you wait, Lorenzo Bianchi. I'm coming for you....
