HIS

Chapter 3

Domenico POV

I am currently on my private plane from Italy to New York. Have to check up on some business that side. We picked up a few issues with shipments being delayed on the Mafia side. 

It seems the suppliers are also bullshitting me by cutting the product and I also have someone steeling money. 

So, this is the biggest headache I am sitting with. On the legal side I am looking at investments and getting paperwork sorted. So there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel.

In the public eye I'm known as the CEO of Mancini Holdings, which is my legal business and is one of the companies I use to clean money for the Mafia business. 

How else would I clean that much money coming through the Mafia's doors daily? 

I finished school a little early so college was also completed earlier. I then started my business and at the age of twenty and turned it into a giant in under two years. It actually helps when you have rich parents and a brain that knows how to make money. 

The mafia was handed down to me four years ago because my dad wanted to put all his focus on his marriage with my mother and take her on vacations and spoil her. 

They were unable to truly enjoy each other's company before, because he was always busy with the mafia. He neglected her a lot in the past. She wanted to leave him a few times but because our family don't believe in divorce unless someone cheated or is abusing his wife, mom was not able to go through with it. I also have a sister Victoria, who is five years younger than me and was an unplanned child according to mom.

I am a twenty-six-year-old bachelor that will probably never settle down with the lifestyle I'm currently living. I'm not proud to say, there's a different woman in bed with me almost every night. 

Maybe that's the reason I haven't found any woman worth settling down with because my outlook on life is clouded by my dirty deeds. The ones you get today are all money hungry, gold-digging whores and will do anything for money or fame. 

The ones that are worth changing for, are locked up in their parent's houses, to keep them away from this dangerous world.

My closest friend Luca, has been best friends since kindergarten, he is also my righthand man and the only person that really know me. 

His parents died in a car accident when he was nineteen, thus my parents took him in at that time without any questions asked. 

He admires the relationship between my parents and still strongly believe he will one day find the right one. If he would just stop sleeping around when he has one maybe his relationships will work. He dates gold diggers most of the time. They always disappoint him and use him for his money. It's like he's the gold digger magnet.

I wasn't always this bad. I had a girlfriend in college that I loved with all my heart and thought that we would get married one day. She was a gorgeous blonde with long legs and sexy body to die for. 

The reasons we broke up, is a story for another day because I buried those memories a long time ago. Relationships and love are only a liability that will cause you to lose your true self. Cruel you might say but I don't have time for difficulties and the obstacles that come with relationships in my life.

I am trying to pass time on this flight by going over the figures of our drug shipments for the last six months and the figures does not make any sense at all. 

Someone is stealing from me, and I need to find out who very fast because they steal small amounts, but it's still noticeable and that small amounts are a loss of fourteen million dollars. It is a huge amount for the timeframe in question and everything points to our operation in New York.

"Hey Luca"

He looks up in my direction "Mmmm?"

"Do you know where Uncle Marco will be once we land?" Uncle Marco will be the go-to guy that will know all the underground chatter. He also knows where and how I will be able to find the rat in my organizations. 

He is my mother's brother and basically a second father to Luca and myself. He is a very nice guy, but he also has a very dark side and is not to be trifled with. He keeps an eye on one of my nightclubs and he's the best for the job now that he is older with all that experience behind him. It gives him less responsibility as he's older now and also has to focus on his own wife. He doesn't have kids because his wife was unable to, but we are all his kids.

"He should be at the club. That's apparently his second home as I understand" He says, then continue reading his newspaper like an old man.

"Ok, I agree, we can head straight there then. The sooner we start the better"

Once we land, we got off the plane and got into the awaiting black SUVs with dark tinted windows. We then took the twenty-minute drive to club.

When we reached there the streets outside were busy as always on a Friday night. I saw my uncle seated on his bench across the street from the club. 

He is a very strange guy and spends most of his time here on that bench, he considers it to be his office. He does spend time checking that everything runs smooth inside but how he does it is still a mystery.

We stop Infront of the bench and get out. His face lights up when he sees us. "Hey, my boys, how have you been?" he says as he got up to hug us.

I try to shake his hand, but he pulls me in for a hug and does the same with Luca. "Hey Uncle Marco, how are you and the wife doing?"

"We are doing good son. When do you plan on bringing a wife this side and you too Luca?"

I Chuckle "There's no time for that uncle"

"Yes, old man, woman are trouble and drama" Luca says.

"You two should try and find someone. This life will get lonelier as you get older" he says.

"Did you get any intel on the person who stole from me?" I ask him. If there's someone that will have a thread of intel it will be him. Or he will direct me in the right direction.

"I think it is time you clean the house. Everything might be linked. I heard chatter from the guys in the northern block the guy that does your pick-ups are doing way more than just that. It seems he is operating his own business within yours. So do follow up on that lead. I'll send the detail to you. But start with pick-ups first that will lead you down the right path"

"Thanks Uncle Marco, how have things been here at the club?" Luca asks but before he could answer he is even more excited to see a girl making her way to him.

This girl however looks like and angel. Lovely long pitch-black hair, full lips, light freckles on her face, stunning blue eyes and a body to die for. She is beautiful but looks very innocent and the fact that my uncle seems close with her piques my interest. I know he would never cheat on his wife so that can't be it.
