The Mafia King ✔ [The Mafia Chronicles #1]

"how could you?"

ENJOY!

---------------------------------------------------------

Aurelia's POV:

"LET GO OF ME!" i heard a female's voice groan as i ran downstairs

"what happened?" i asked Tiberias 

"we tracked down some of Dante's mafia members and we captured them." 

"what are you gonna do now..." 

"we're going to lock  them up and interrogate them" Marcellus walked up to us with a knife glinting in his hand "and while that's happening, your going to track down their families, we're using them as a threat, so if they don't comply they're family will die." he smirked

"Marcellus. listen to yourself. dad never brought families into things like this."

"that was after he met mom. he was the mafia king. he did all that was necessary to keep his title. now I'm going to take it back. we can practically take over the worlds governments with the power and alliances we have"

i shook my head "this isn't okay. I'm leaving to find Cassian, maybe he can knock some sense into you" i left the house and got in my car heading towards the restaurant Cassian chose today out of all days to go to. 

"Cassian Chase Amherst" i yelled at him through the phone when i pulled up in front of the restaurant

"Lia! my ears" he complained

"get out of the restaurant right now, Marcellus is gonna be the death of me" 

"why-"

"i said NOW you imbecile!" 

"Okay! I'm coming." i saw him getting out of the restaurant and rushing towards my car.

"get in." he opened the passenger seat's door and hopped in

--------------------------------------

for 20 minutes, we stayed silent, until he spoke up. 

"care to elaborate on 'Marcellus will be the death of me'?"

"he captured members of Dante's mafia and threatened to kill their family if they didn't comply, most of them are young members who probably had a rough life and Dante offered them money"

"they deserve it. they chose to support and join Dante, and now they can deal with the consequences"

"Cassian! imagine yourself in their family's place."

"i would cut them out of my life" he said as we hopped out of the car and walked towards the house.

"no you wouldn't, and besides imagine if someone outside of the mafia sees you involved in the mafia. wouldn't you want them to accept you even though your a criminal?" 

he stopped dead in his tracks "i wouldn't put anyone i care about in danger and involve them with me, because I'm in a mafia." he looked like he was thinking a lot

"what about that girl that makes you smile so hard and zone out thinking about her in the middle of our meetings?"

"they all end up leaving anyway, so i wont have to stress"

we reached the underground cell vaults.

 "where are they?" Cassian walked up to Tiberias

"we put them in separate cells, Marcellus is...dealing with one of them now, there's one in this cell" he pointed at the cell behind him
