➳ capo dei capi // l.s.

    " Ah, my favourite criminal. I wonder what kind of game you're playing now." An awfully familiar voice scratches Louis' ears as soon as they reach him. The image of him popping in his mind gives him a headache.

    The capo couldn't help but tug his lips into a snarl as he's sitting at the head of the table, an expensive glass of wine in his hand and his legs crossed. His eyes didn't glance once in the direction of the voice. " It would be a shame if something happened to you at our next meeting. A real pity. " His tone is laced with venom as he spits the words out before taking a sip of his wine.

    The man couldn't help but let out an amused chuckle, making his way to the Capo, bowing down in the slightest out of respect. " I saw you at Red Line Lies the other evening. Would you care to go together sometime? " His sweet tone holds a rotten essence underneath.

    Louis narrows his eyes, looking up at him for the first time. " I prefer to attend events alone. " He holds eye contact with the familiar face in front of him, provoking him.

    The man didn't seem to mind. " Apologies, didn't mean to intrude. " Louis scoffs while his eyes study his movements as he sits down.

" What is the reason you present yourself here? " Louis slowly gets up from his chair, maintaining eye contact with him. Everyone at the table grew silent.

" I'm part of this family. I have a right to. " He scoffs in response. Louis knows he's right. He's helped him a lot with the business in North America, no matter how annoying he could be. He can't risk letting his anger get the best of him and lose a big part of his family. " After all the money I've brought you. " He tsked, shaking his head in mock disbelief. The Capo's eyes flared for a mere second before taking his eyes off him.

    " You did help me, I agree. But you've also reacted impulsively which forced me to do regrettable things. " Louis sighs, his body slightly relaxing while shivers run down everyone's spines as memories flood their minds.

    On the man's face a smirk subtly crawls, his eyes filled with please as his mind drifts to the events of last year. Louis knows that this man craves his power, the title being once promised to him and he did everything in his power to sabotage the Capo. Louis hated the fact that he couldn't execute him since he was the head of a big part of the family that he couldn't control entirely. " The events of last year brought you a lot of fame. You should be grateful. "

    " I have no reason to be grateful to you. " Louis' temper prickles, venom laced in his growl as he spat his words in the man's face. " I believe our conversation is over, Dutch. " And with no further words, the Capo excuses himself and storms out. His nerves were all the way to his head, a vein popping out from the fury that bubbles inside him. Dutch never ceased to piss him off any chance he got.

The Capo is escorted to his hotel room, his right hand, Zayn, by his side as always. " What is he doing here? " Louis breathes heavily as he thinks about that person.

" Louis, you know you can't exclude him from family luncheons. No matter how much he pisses you off. Don't you think I want to blow his brains out every time I have the chance? " Zayn sighs as he presses the button on the elevator, causing Louis to cross his arms and scoff, propping himself on the wall.

" Have the debtors returned the loans? " Louis changed the subject as soon as the elevator dinged, signaling that they reached the floor which only contained one hotel room. Zayn shook his head in response which made Louis sigh in disbelief. " This evening, take Payne and Horan with you and solve the problem. " He knew the idea didn't appeal to Zayn since it meant he had to take a flight all the way up to Austria, but the raven haired man nodded nonetheless.
