I was on my way to my office for an important meeting with some new clients. We were about to finalize our deal on the new project that we were working on.

I am actually really proud of this deal because it will bring about sixty percent more profit into one of my companies, which would also raise the percentages of my other companies aswell. My focus is not only on my companies but also the multiple hotel chains that I own all around the world and the media outlets as well. Having a complete control on the media is a bonus for me also with all the shit I do behind closed doors, I thought to myself and smirking.

My grandfather was the one who started this small tech company from scratch with all of the savings he had from his ruling mafia family in Italy. After he passed away my father took over the company and the mafia. He expanded the business to America, but it was tough on him because he began to have problems with his health. He was infected with cancer. Due to that news my older brother Enzo had to take over the business and the mafia because I was still too young. Enzo was five years older than me, he was my big brother, who always looked out for me like all older brothers do.

The doctors told us that my father would make it since the infection was not severe, but after battling with cancer for four fucking years someone had to come and destroy everything I had. My father and brother were both murdered during a raid done by one of our enemies.

After them I took over the family business and became the mafia leader and in power. I worked my ass off with my blood, sweat and tears to turn the family business from a company to an empire. I expanded it from just a small tech company to multiple other big corporations aswell, made another empire with my multiple hotel chains around the world and the media outlets as well. I turned myself from having a small family business worth around twenty million dollars to a multibillion dollar corporations. That makes me proud of myself.

But I know damn well, that I'm not someone who will just sit back and forget. I will get my revenge and kill those mother fucking bastards with my own fucking hands till I'm satisfied, and I know damn well that I'm thirsty for revenge. I won't have mercy on anyone for taking the most important people away from me.

"Boss were here" said my driver Anthony, breaking my thoughts and bringing me back to the present. I nodded at him. One of my security guards opened the door for me.

As I get out of my black Lamborghini urus, my second in command, underboss and best friend Alex walks up to me from his range rover. Both of us walk up to the main entrance of my office. "Good Morning boss" the security guards says and I nod my head at them to acknowledge it.

As I enter the main lobby, I see all of my staff and employees working as my secretary James walks up to me. He has been my secretary for over five years and one of my most trusted employees that works for me. He is a twenty-six year old gay man, way better than those slutty women who try to seduce me with their ways trying to sleep with me. We both have actually bonded over work together and get along as great friends aswell. One thing I like about our bond as great friends is the respect I have for him and he has for me knowing all the shit I do.

"Good Morning Mr. Venttali, how are you?" he asks. "Good Morning to you too James. I'm good how are you?" I ask. "I am wonderful especially after having that wonderful breakfast my handsome boyfri-..." I gave him my deadly stare showing that I'm not interested in knowing what happens between him and his boyfriend.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Venttali, I got a little excited and overwhelmed. Do you want me to read you your schedule for today?" He asked as we walk ahead to my private elevator. "Of course, go ahead" I said.

"So for today you have three meetings and each of them are about two hours long. At nine o'clock you will be meeting with the CEO of Stone Enterprises for your first meeting to finalize the deal we have with them. Then at eleven, your meeting with the Chinese investors who are interested in investing in our company. You will have your lunch at one o'clock as usual and please let me know what you want, so I can inform one of my secretaries to order it on time for you" he said. Also, yeah, James has his own two secretaries that I hired for him because I don't want to kill and stress this man with the amount of orders I give him. I feel bad for him sometimes, but he does get the job done well though.

"Okay, I'll let you know" I said as we reached the top floor and I see two of his secretaries. "Good Morning Mr. Venttali" they say and I nod my head at them. "Clara, bring Mr. Venttali his morning coffee to his office in ten minutes. Now go, chop chop" clapping his hands together as he orders one of his secretaries.

"Last but not least you will be having a meeting with the famous interior designer Joseph Dirand for designing and refurnish your hotel in London. Would you like me to schedule a meeting with him in the evening because of the loads of work that needs to be completed here?" He asked. "Yeah, actually that would be wonderful. It works perfectly." I said sitting down on my chair, behind my desk. "Then that's all for today Mr. Venttali. I'll see you in an hour at the meeting with Stone Enterprises" He says. I thank him and he leaves.

******************************

Its was about twelve thirty now when my second meeting was done and almost time for lunch. I called up James to order my lunch from Elio's restaurant. Once that was done I made a call to Alex to see how our mission is going along on the other side of the city. I was trying to smuggle in some weapons and drugs for a trade with one of my allies. It was a great profit and making more money too.

" how is the mission?" I asked. "Its working boss. The weapons and drugs are currently being delivered to us by their boat" he said. "Make sure to keep an eye out for the police, you know how up on our asses they are. They're trying really hard to find any evidence on who we are" I said, smirking to myself. Thinking that if they do find anything on my mafia or on me not much is going to happen because I got so many of them working under me already and with me. "Once the mission has been completed, inform me right away" I said. "Okay boss" alex said and I hung up.

Alex is like a brother to me. Even though he works for me as my second in command I still think of him as my family. I first met him when I first took over my father's business and mafia.

I was done from a long day at the office and was about to head home I felt my car come to a strong halt. I looked ahead and asked Anthony what's wrong. "Boss, there's a man standing on the street asking for help" he said. I saw the man standing in front of my car waving his hand at us. It was raining really hard with thunder. Is he crazy running around the street in the middle of the night, while its raining? I thought to myself. "Ask him what's wrong Anthony?" I said. Anthony quickly rolled his windows down and called over the guy. He asked him what's wrong? "Ple-please I need your help. My mother just collapsed. I don't know what happened to her. I need to get her to the hospital. Please, please help me... please I beg you" the guy said. Judgeing by his looks he look liked a homeless man. I can see the tears in his eyes for his mother. It reminded me of the time when I cried for my father and brother when they were murdered. Not thinking too much about it I immediately ordered Anthony to order our men behind us to help the man bring his mother in the car behind us to the hospital.

We left for the hospital right away. When we reached there, the mother was taken straight into the emergency department. I looked over at the man sitting down on the seat. The man look lost, worried, and stressed out just how I was when I first got the news about my father and my brother Enzo. I was shocked and didn't believed it.

The doors to the room where his mother was opened. The doctor walked up to me. "Were sorry. we couldn't save her. She had had a sever heart attack" the doctors said and left. Right then and there I felt sympathy for this man, for loosing someone so close to him. Looking at him I saw a man lost in his own deep thoughts. Tears started forming in his eyes. His eyes had turned red from all the stress he had and crying for his mother. Next thing I saw was him punching the walls of the hospital and blaming himself for not getting her to the hospital on time, not giving her the life she deserved and cursing at his biological father for leaving them on the streets for someone else. I told some of my men to keep an eye on him and left from there.

A few weeks later, I met him again. I sent one of my men to bring him to me. I told him to join me and my mafia business and I will change his world around, as long as he's loyal to me. He asked for sometime and agreed three days later. I trained him by myself and some of my best fighters and shooters. Staying true to his words Alex is now my second in command. I look at him as one of my younger brothers now, just how Enzo saw me. I'm proud of him because he also has succeeded in life, with his own business owning two restaurants. Even though he's succeeded now, he still gets emotional that his mother didn't get to see him succeed. But he knows that she's watching him from above looking over him. I'm happy that he's a part of my life as well and stay together to rule the people around us.

"Well hello, Mr. Venttali your lunch is here" James came in knocking on the door and coming in immediately. He starts setting it up on the table by the floor to ceiling window, with a nice view.

"Baby, I'm here" James and I turned around to see Amanda walking in. She was dressed in a short and tight white dress showing all of her curves in the right places. Amanda is a friend of mine. We technically don't have any kind of relationship. She's not my girlfriend and neither do I love her. I don't do relationships since I know I can get more than one and don't like commitment. We're like friends with benefits you know for me, but for her it's not. She clearly confessed her feelings to me that she likes me when we first kissed. I clearly told her about my feelings as well, but I don't know why she keeps coming back. I'm alright with it as long as we keep our limit and it doesn't turn into a problem for me.

"What are you doing here, Amanda? I thought you had to attend your fashion show?" I asked her. "Yeah I did, but I left because I wanted to have lunch with you and I missed you too baby" she said, walking up to me to give me a kiss on my lips. We kissed for about a minute or two until we heard James say "I'm just going to leave. I feel suffocated seeing her eat your beautiful face away" he said and left.

"Huh, what's his problem? Honestly, I don't even know why you hired him, he's so annoying. He doesn't even like me" she said. I knew very well that James hated Amanda because he thinks of her as a gold digger. But I didn't care because it's not like we both were in a relationship. "Forget about him, come let's eat our lunch" I said as both of us sat down to eat, and talked about life, work, and a few things here and there.

*********************************

I was getting ready to leave the restaurant where James had set up my meeting with Joseph Dirand about designing and refurnish one of my hotels in London. The meeting went well, while we both had a nice meal at this restaurant. I was happy to finally meet him before he left for Japan. We talked about some of the designs and themes that we should put into the hotel to attract more people in. Our next meeting will soon be in about a month.

I was walking down the hall to see the owner of the restaurant who was my best friend. I am happy to have two best friends that I call my family and share everything with. He is one of my business partners in one of my companies. I had my two guards walk behind me as for security reasons. As I was walking I see a girl walking in a quick pace down the hall infront of me. Next thing I know she bumps into me. Before she was about to fall down to the floor I caught her, grabbing her by her waist. She was so small compared to my tall six feet and one inch figure. She was dressed very modestly with a scarf around her head covering her hair, but I can still see a few strands of her dark brown hairs peaking out. She looked up at me and right in to my eyes. She squirmed in my hands as if she saw a ghost. She quickly averted her gaze from me.

Once I looked at her, she had the most innocent and beautiful face I have ever seen. She had beautiful hazel eyes which caught my attention instantly. They were so intriguing to see. "I'm so so-sorry. That was by accident, I didn't mean to bump into you" she said with the most beautiful voice I ever heard. It was like music to my ears just by listening to her soothing voice. She was trying to move away from me while my hands were still on her waist holding her.

"Oh, sorry. It's alright and I didn't mind at all" I said giving her a side smirk and letting her go. She gave me a small smile and turned around to walk away. As she kept walking away my eyes were trained on her, never stopped following her. She went inside the ladies bathroom. "She's fucking beautiful" I said to myself not realizing my friend Brandon heard me. "Whose fucking beautiful, bro?" He asked, as he stood about two feet away from me.

"No, nothing. I was just talking to myself" I said. "Since when have you started talking to yourself. I thought it was only me, when comparing different girls to see which one is more hotter" he said, while I stared at him with my deadly glare. "What? I was stating the obvious. I never saw you doing that. Forget about it, let's go" he said as we both started walking to the main office and I still couldn't get that beautiful face out of my mind. She is a beauty after all.
