Jovani sighed with a roll of his eyes as his body went limp. He seemed to concede to a certain point. At least ALnoso took his behavior to be that of someone conceding rather than getting ready to further engage. "Jovani, I want you to repeat back to me what I am said to you. You can do whatever you want after this but right now, your focus is with me." The Vedova Nera boss didn't comply however. He threw daggers at the other as he refused to look at the other beyond from the corner of his eye. Drugs…

Jovani's muddled brain couldn't understand what the other was fussing about. He came, he saw, he watched for a while but nothing horrible about the situation struck him in the face. What did Alonso anticipate as the proper reaction? Scolding? Chaos breaking lose? Hmph. Jovani tilted his head back to look at the ceiling. If it that were the case, he brought the wrong person in to review this matter. The drugged Vedova Nera boss hardly cared about what happened to himself; why would be care about what…

Lena bit down on the end of the pipe, crunching it slightly under pressure. No, this deal wasn't the one that had been made. "Hester. I told you I would call them to come along after the fact. Why did you think to bring them along with you right now?" Three additional people left no space for them to hold the meeting in the hospital room, the place that Lena wanted to remain in today. One lousy night flipped everything off kilter once more. Not just for her but for Julian as well. The man would…

Alonso's hands twitched. His eyes shifted from the water in his hands to the door in front of him. How badly the desire built up in him to go through with it. How foul would the trouble be? Not the worst. The Vedova Nera boss though some time had passed, would likely still be stuck floating on a cloud of pleasure. The pleasure that a little bit of cold liquid would surely help to kill. At what cost? Oh, did it honestly matter? Jovani needed to see what was going on around him while he decided to…

Alonso never felt closer to wanting to take a vacation that at the current moment. Someplace a thousand miles away from his contentious boss and his current everyday lifestyle sounded like a treat he deserved. Sadly, it would remain in the land of dreams for the current moment until current matters were solved. Jovani obviously couldn't be trusted to take care of matters. The Vedova Nera boss could hardly stay together after such a minor injury a few non-fatal spats. How much worse would he get if…

356 I could Do More But Richard enjoyed the meal while his companion remained silent and sullen. Why should he allow someone else’s bad mood to impact the flavor of the food? There wasn’t one good reason that came to mind to allow for such to happen. Thus, Richard chose food over smoothing over a tepid at best relationship. The Italian would get over himself eventually. Gustavo didn’t have anyone to blame but himself. Ask for, agree later. Richard learned that rule a long time ago. One that…

355 Rumors Exist Everywhere Richard still couldn’t stand the idea of being in fancy places. No matter how many years passed since the last less than pleasant experience, he still couldn’t come around to enjoy them. Money and status hardly mattered. Lingering memories were what caused the biggest problems for the mafioso. Sometimes though, undesirable destinations were necessary when it came to collecting certain information. Plus, it wasn’t all that bad when it involved being able to indulge…

354 Potential Soluation Lena tried to eat that evening but anything she put in her mouth was tasteless. She might as well have been eating nothing. She set the brown paper bag down on the roof’s flat surface, standing up to look over the top of the hospital. Maybe Leo could eat it later. If she couldn’t enjoy it, it would be far better than letting the money to go to waste. What now? Nighttime brought far less distractions allowing for the Princess’ mind to wander much further than it should’ve…

353 If Necessary, Another Name for the Growing List Did Richard take her for an idiot by asking such questions? She let out a harsh ‘tsk’ sound as she turned away from the other. “I would’ve already done that if it was possible. Hester doesn’t have all the right equipment needed to go through all the information. He’s working the best he can around everything else that has been taking place.” Lena’s response didn’t surprise Richard. He knew Hester. A clever, highly skilled…

352 They Aren’t The Same Richard shook his head, quickly rejecting Lena’s unspoken suggestion. “Marcus and Jovani are too different. I don’t know what you dealt with, Lena, but I don’t think you could’ve mistaken one for the other.” Richard couldn’t readily recall Jovani’s face before the past week. Marcus’s, though… that was one he wouldn’t be able to forget. No matter how much time passed, he could easily recall the other Vedova Nera cousin’s face. For once, Richard…
