“Vlad, I love you,” she says, her eyes heavy from the medication the doctor gave her. “You have changed my life; you have brought meaning to my monotonous existence. I never thought that one day I would find someone like you, someone who makes me feel so alive. When I was tied up, the thought of you is what helped me maintain my hope that I was going to come out of it alive to be with you again. Becoming your wife will be an honour, but becoming your woman will be my utmost pleasure.”
I lean forward and take Haley’s lips in a gentle kiss; this is my woman, the calmness to my storm.
THE END.

DOM 1
“Dom, Alfredo is here” shit, he better have my money if he’s interrupting me now. I look at Tina on her knees before me, her dyed blond hair dishevelled from my fingers. Her hands on my waistband unbuttoning them. I look over my shoulder at Blade as he stands leaning against the door waiting for my reply.
“Does he have my money?” I pull my hands away from Tina’s hair to take hold of her wrists stopping her from rubbing her hands over my crotch.
“No”
“What the fuck, so why are you bothering me?” I see Blade’s smirk as he inclines his head towards the front of the restaurant.
“You are going to want to talk to him, he has a deal that I think you are going to find interesting” Alfredo is deep in debt, I have been giving him chance after chance to pay me back but he has failed to meet the deadline every time now he has a deal, it better be a fucking good deal for the amount he is owing.
“Stop” I mutter as Tina lowers her head trying to move her mouth over my zipped-up slacks. “Get up, leave”
“Aww Dom, come on let them wait” she says in her irritating voice, as she pouts her red smudged painted lips at me.
“Move, I don’t feel like it anymore” I mutter as I let go of her wrists and take hold of her upper arms helping her up so that I can get up from my dark brown leather chair. I hear her mutter but pay her no attention as I tuck in my shirt as I look at Blade. He is my right-hand man, and one person that I trust with my life. We grew up together, into this life of crime, Blade could have left when my father died but he decided to stay and become my right-hand man.
Becoming the Boss of the Capella Family at the age of twenty-seven was my first challenge as most of the men thought me too young to carry this responsibility, but I soon won their trust by tripling our income. Some have challenged me, but they don’t live long to make the same mistake again. I learned at an early age that being in the Mafia is a game of either kill or be killed.
Familia is everything to me, we fight we make up, but we always stay truthful with each other. Tina walks past me in her tiny dress and spiky heels glaring at Blade as she exits. “What do you see in her?” Blade asks as he saunters in.
“Did you come here to speak about my sex life or why you interrupted me?” I place my hand at my waist waiting for an update.
“As I said to you Alfredo is outside and he has the deal of the century for you.” I can see by his grin that he’s not going to elaborate.
“You’re not going to tell me what it is are you?” I shake my head in annoyance, sometimes its not good being friends with your right-hand man. “One of these day’s I’m going to shoot you” I threaten as I make my way out of my office only to hear him chuckling behind me.
I walk down the corridor, past the kitchen that is still closed at this time as its only ten in the morning and into the dinning area. I see Alfredo standing near the door, I stop, it is clear that he is nervous, whatever this deal is he isn’t sure I will accept it.
“Alfredo,” he jumps in fright when he hears my voice, snapping around to face me. “I hear you have a business proposition for me”
“Dom, yes, yes I do” I know Big Mac would have frisked him when he walked in, so this nervousness can only be that he’s not sure about what he’s offering.
“Come sit with me Alfredo” I incline my head towards my table that is set in the corner with a view of the entire restaurant. Sliding into my chair I wait for Alfredo to take the seat before me. He must be in his late forties, early fifties and ever since I can remember that Alfredo has borrowed money from us. He usually pays it back but this time he seems to be having problems.
“Talk to me Alfredo, why are you having such difficulty in paying back the money this time?” I know he has a gambling problem that is why when it gets to a certain amount his tab is frozen and he has to pay back what he owes, but this time we had to help him with an extra ten thousand because he went to ask for money somewhere else and they were threatening to kill him.
“I just can’t seem to get on top of things”
“Did you go get help like I told you to last time?” when he came to ask for more money, I told him that I would only help him if he got help with his addiction. I know that sometimes I’m too lenient with some of them, but a dead man doesn’t pay his bills.
“I did, I swear” he says placing his hand in his pocket he takes out a piece of paper for me to see. I nod seeing the confirmation that he has been seeing someone.
“Fine, then what is this deal you want to propose to me?” I lean back crossing my arms waiting for his reply.
“I don’t think I will ever be able to get enough money to pay you back Dom,” I frown at his statement, the only thing that interests me is money, whatever this deal is it better be a way of paying back all the money he owes. “That is why I thought of this way to pay you back, it is the most precious thing to me” at his words I frown, if he gives me a watch or jewellery I swear I will shoot him myself for wasting my time.
“Get to it Alfredo, time is money” I’m not a very patient man and his dawdling is starting to irritate me.
“I want you to have Lola to pay for my debt” at his words I tense, Isn’t Lola his wife? I glance over at Blade to see him grinning.
“What am I supposed to do with your wife?” I see Alfredo’s shocked expression at my outburst, he might think his wife is the best thing since pastrami, but I doubt anyone else will as I’m sure she isn’t a spring chicken any longer.
“Wife? No, no Lola is not my wife” Alfredo says, “Lola is my daughter” I glare over at Blade as I see his shoulders shake with laughter.
“Alfredo, what am I supposed to do with your daughter, I’m not into prostitution” I shake my head in frustration, I hate it when people reach a point where they will go to any lengths to save their skin. This Lola doesn’t deserve being sold like this by her father.
“No, not prostitution but she is beautiful she can work here in the restaurant or at one of your clubs serving, she is a hard worker she will pay off my debt” sure, at the salary the waitresses earn the debt will be paid in ten years.
“Does your daughter even know that you are trying to sell her to me?” I can’t mask the disgust I feel for him, a man that will sell his own daughter is very low in my books. The Capella Family is all about Familia, to come to me and try and sell his daughter
is asking to be dead.
“No, but I promise you she will do as I say” I shake my head in disbelief, I would never have thought this of him.
“How old is Lola?” I shouldn’t care but I do, If I say no he might go and make this offer to someone else to try and get the money he needs. Alfredo leans forward as he pulls his wallet out of his back pocket. Opening the wallet, he pulls out what looks like a photo and hands it to me, I look down at the photo and frown. This is his daughter? He wasn’t joking when he said she is beautiful.
“She is now twenty three” she has stunning dark brown hair that flows down past her shoulders, her smiling eyes are looking straight at whoever is taking the photo and I can see that at first I thought she had brown eyes but they are actually a dark blue looking dark because of the lighting. Her skin looks to be an olive tone enhancing her Latin descendance.
I look up at Alfredo and see him looking at the photo lovingly, why would a man that seems to love his daughter submit himself to doing this? “If Lola agrees to this idea of yours, I want you to bring her here and I will talk to her. Only after my discussion with her will I decide”
“No prostitution” he says
“You are starting to work on my very last nerve” I grunt, irritated that he still has the audacity to try and set rules. “You can leave” I say seeing him hesitate before he sees my angry expression. He quickly rises from his chair jumping in surprise when he finds Blade standing right behind him.
“Oh, I didn’t see you” Blade inclines his head towards the exit which quickly has Alfredo making his way there. Blade slides into Alfredo’s empty seat and just sits there looking at me.
“What?” I ask irritated
“Are you really considering it?”
“If we don’t take her, he will go and sell her to the next highest bidder.”
Blade raises a brow, “So”
“It’s not her fault that her father has gambled her life away.” I mutter raising my hand I rub at my tense jaw.
“Where are you going to put her?” I hadn’t thought about that yet, but we have businesses all over the city I am sure we can slot her in somewhere.
“Well seeing as you are so amused with the situation, I will leave it up to you to find her a place.” Blade grins as he shakes his head in amusement.
“It helps that she’s pretty doesn’t it?”
“Have you seen her?” I’m sure I would have remembered if I ever saw Lola somewhere, this was the first time that I saw her. I see Blade shake his head, his grin widening.
“No, but I saw your face when you looked at her photo. I knew then that you would be suckered into taking her.” Blade shakes his head exaggeratedly, “A pretty woman is going to be your downfall”
“All women are pretty in their own way” I mutter shrugging as I stand.
“You just have way too many of them for your own good” Blade teases
“Look who’s talking, I don’t see you going to bed alone every night.” Blade and I are similar in height and both have dark brown hair and brown eyes but that is where the resemblance ends. I have a scar across my eyebrow and up over my forehead that I acquired when still a teenager when I thought that I was all powerful. This scar helps me remember that no matter who you are there is always someone better than you out there, you mustn’t assume and always be sure before going into a situation.
“Enough of this, have you heard from Joey yet?” We heard that the Ukrainians were dealing in our turf, I keep my streets clean, I don’t want any drugs where we live. If they start dealing here, then we start having problems and I don’t want problems.
Joey went to speak to his contacts to find out if what we heard is true, if it is then we have a problem because I won’t let anyone deal here. Joey grew up with us, but he is two years younger and as such has always worked to try and fit in with the two of us, while Blade and I have already turned thirty, Joey is still twenty-eight.
“The last I heard was last night when he texted me saying that he was meeting his contact this morning.” I lift my arm to look at my wristwatch, nearly midday.
“Phone h. . .” I’m interrupted from telling Blade to phone Joey when I see Vito running inside.
“He’s been shot” he yells from the entrance, pointing behind him. “Joey is taking him to the ER”
“Who” I ask when I reach him, Vito is the youngest out of all of us and a hot head, but his heart is in the right place. Him and Joey are brothers, you don’t usually see one without the other.
“It’s Gino, they fucking shot Gino” Gino started to hang around with us when he was a teenager. His parents and sister were gunned down before his eyes, he was the only one to survive, his aunt took him in and when he started to get into trouble with the wrong crowd she asked my father if he would keep an eye on him.
“How was he?”
“Don’t know, there was so much blood” Vito says as he pulls his fingers through his hair.
“Who shot him Vito?” Blade asks as he stands next to me
“The fucking Ukrainian shot him; we were driving back when Gino saw one of them dealing. We stopped and Gino got out to talk to him, before Gino could even reach him, he pulled out his weapon and fired at him.” This problem has just become real, they threaten my people, hurt them they will now deal with the Capella family.
