CHAPTER 34 - MAN ON A MISSION

Alina POV:

It's been about two almost weeks since Romeo and I have been seeing each other again, it's been lovely. We go out to dinner, or I cook for him at my apartment, we have watched movies, been to a rock concert, and even took a day off to go to a fair outside of town. Its been absolutely blissful, Romeo has not tried a thing except to hold hands and a few kisses. "Lina? What are you and Romeo? A couple, friends with benefits? What's the label?" Mari asks as she sits in my kitchen, it's Saturday morning and we both have the day off.

"I don't know we haven't discussed the label thing, but I think it's safe to assume we are basically back together, but I will bring it up at some point. Things have been so good the last two weeks, I don't want to move too fast either," I say shrugging and sipping my coffee.

"I understand, but the man is head over heels in love with you, even Leo said he's been more pleasant to work with them just as Mari says this I hear my door open and in walks Jake, full of smiles and heads straight for the coffee.

"Well good morning to you too," I say jokingly.

"My head is killing me," Jake says and Mari and I laugh.

"Well what were you doing last night?" I ask curiously.

"Well I guess it's time to spill the beans, I was out with Luciano last night and almost every waking moment he could spare the last two weeks. The man knows how to party, hence my fucking hangover," Jake says surprising Mari and myself.

"I thought something was happening between the two of you that night of the gala!" I squeal excitedly, "why are we only hearing about this now?" I ask faking being pissed off.

"Luc wanted to keep things quiet, he's just that kind of guy. You know he is a gay Mafia man after all," Jake says shrugging.

"Well, Lina and I are happy for you, it's about time you got laid!" Mari says and we laugh.

"Let me just say bitches, the man knows what he's doing," Jake says wiggling his brows at us.

"The De Luca brothers are clearly gifted in that department," I say and we all burst into a fit of giggles. My phone rings and I check the caller ID, it's Romeo.

"Amore," I answer smiling.

"Bella, come stai mi sei mancato," Romeo answers.

(How are you I missed you)

"Anche tu mi manchi, sto bene Jake e Mari sono qui," I say with smile, I love Romeo speaking Italian.

(I miss you too, I'm doing good Jake and Mari are here)

"Ti piacerebbe uscire a cena con me stasera? Ho un incontro di lavoro e mi piacerebbe che la mia ragazza fosse lì," Romeo says in a rush, and I can't help but feel my heart beat wildly.

(Would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight? I have a business meeting and I would love my girlfriend to be there)

"Sì, mi piacerebbe andare, formale?" I ask still smiling.

(Yes I would love to go, formal?)

"Sì, formale, sai che è davvero elegante e noioso," Romeo says sounding like he would rather be anywhere but there.

(Yes, formal, you know it's really fancy and boring)

"Ok, what time will I be expecting you?" I ask, not really excited to be spending the night with suits.

"Seven, see you then, love you bella, I actually have some business to take care of since we captured Mancini, Francesca escaped though," Romeo says with a sigh.

"I will be ready, I hope you catch her soon, she could really screw things up for you," I answer a bit worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't let her touch you," Romeo says and I melt.

"I believe you, see you tonight then, love you," I say with a smile and end the call.

Jake and Mari took over my kitchen cooking breakfast, and I watch my two friends as they animatedly laugh and dance around the kitchen. "Guys, I need a fancy dress and shoes for tonight," I call out.

"Well you have the perfect friends for that let's go shopping!" Jake shouts excitedly. We all laugh and have breakfast, I can't believe I have such amazing friends and that my life has changed so much.

After breakfast we decide to go shopping, but I have a shower and change into some jeans, a tight v neck long sleeve black jumper and some high heeled knee length boots. I put my hair up and don't bother with any make up and grab my white coat and black purse. I decide to take my car, yes I have a car now, a black corvette. Flashy but Mari and Jake had insisted on it. We hop into my car and make our way to the high end stores, "so what are feeling for this fancy dinner?" I ask my friends and they choose Dior, we make our way into the store and my friends go crazy choosing dresses. Jake chose two, and Marie chose two and I apparently don't have a say, this is going to be a long day.

Romeo POV:

I'm planning a special dinner for Alina tonight, I want to ask her to officially be my girlfriend again. I threw it out there on the phone and she never said anything. So we will see, I just want to show her how much I love her, and maybe we can finally take that trip to Italy together, I planned it out and I hope she says yes.

For now I have to go torture Mancini and see how far his influence went. Dario, Leo and Luc are with me, Tino is standing by, Dominic will be guarding with Tino.

We are at the cells and go to the special room, I see Mancini laying on the metal table tied up and ready. It's a dirty job but someone has to do this. I change my clothes and walk onto the room with Dario and Leo, Luc is outside, he doesn't have the stomach for this, to actually carry it out.

"Mancini, finally after seven months, we meet again, it's been a long time," I say tauntingly.

"Fuck you De Luca!" Mancini spits out.

"Is any way to speak to an old friend?" I answer sarcastically and he doesn't answer. "Well, you have been a very naughty boy and in need of some manners," I say picking up the drill. I position it on his right knee and drill a hole through it, hearing a sickening crack of the bone, and keep going at a slow pace hearing Mancini scream his lungs out, I reach the metal table and stop. "Now, are you going to tell me what you had planned when we captured you, or are you going to need more persuasion?" I ask calmly.

"Why would I say anything to you? You sick fuck!" Mancini spits at me.

"Because as you say I am a sick fuck, which is why people fear me, and that makes me untouchable, the King of the Mafia," I simply say and take a drill to his other knee and hear the sickening crack of the bone for a second time as Mancini screams a blood curdling scream. "Now, I can get really nasty and keep going or you can have a quick death and tell me what your plans are?" I say a bit more nonchalantly.

"Why would I tell you? Everything is in motion, I would die before I crack under you, you fucking pussy!" Mancini shouts.

"Ok the hard way it is, since you hurt so many innocent girls by letting them get raped, and sold to paedophiles, I believe your beloved penis needs to go, I will start with one ball and work my way up, sound fair?" I ask rhetorically. Mancini looks at me as if he's seen a ghost." Don't worry I still have one or two things before I get to that," I say with a smirk.

I take a sledge hammer and hit his left shoulder crushing it in the process. His screams almost silent and the pain consumes him. I punch him in the eye almost breaking the socket. "That was for nearly killing me and Dario, I thought you might like that one," Dario, Leo and myself chuckle. "Dario have at it, you were shot after all," I say calling him over.

"My pleasure Romeo," Dario says darkly and crushes his other shoulder. "Leo, come on I think he has too many fingers," Dario says chuckling. I stand picking out the best tool to dismember his balls and dick. He screams out hoarsely, and almost passes out.

"No, no, no Mancini, that will not do," I tsk. Throwing him with water, and he comes too. "Speak or your balls gets it," I say ripping his underwear off him. "He's got a small one too," I say and the boys chuckle.

Mancini attempts to speak, "I went to the Mexican cartel, they are helping Francesca," he says and stops.

"Not good enough," I say clamping his one ball and cutting it off, he shrieks in pain.

"We are planning to over throw you, take all of you out, entire family," he says and stops, I sigh cutting off the other ball, and he let's out a silent scream convulsing. Dario holds up his dick and I give him one more chance.

"Last chance," I say calmly.

"You will never beat them," He says spitting at me but missing.

I nod, taking a machete and slicing off his penis. He shakes and the blood is everywhere. He's screaming and crying. I lean into his face, "we have enough, you forget I'm the king of all Mafia, nothing happens without me knowing, and trust me, every person that was helping you is dead or will be dead including your precious psychotic daughter," his eyes go huge and I pull out my customised gun and shoot him in the head. "Dario, call the cleaning crew, I need this all cleaned up, send this to the Mexicans. I need you with me tonight as security, a few men about six, for dinner tonight, be ready at my place at six," I say and Dario nods. "Leo, I need you to look after everything tonight while I'm out. Tino will be with me, Dominic can help you with anything you need." I say with a sigh, its been a long day.

"Sure Rome," Leo answers. "See you at six," Dario answers. I nod.

"I will be off to the casino, to catch up on some work, and we will debrief tomorrow at three," I answer and take off to the room I have here and take a quick shower and change into a fresh suit. Tino drives us and Dominic is acting as security outside my office. The casino is busy, but I need to speak to my father about the Mexicans, maybe when I get to Italy.

I know I called Alina my girlfriend earlier just to hear her reaction, but I need to ask her formally, so I set up a dinner tonight at an exclusive restaurant I had rented out. I have a lovely singer coming in to entertain us. I also have a surprise for her, I set up a trip to Italy, finally we can have that vacation we should have had five months ago. I call Tino to arrange to night, "I will be picking Alina up and you can drive us home, I plan on drinking," I say with a smirk.

"Yes boss, on it," Tino answers with a smirk. I work for about two more hours and head home. I can't wait to see Alina, my bella, after this long day.

Once I arrive home, I have a long shower, shave and choose my suit for tonight. I choose an Armani navy slim fit suit, a pale blue shirt and sky blue tie, with black Italian boots. I style my hair to the just fucked look but slightly neater. And place a sky blue handkerchief in my pocket, cufflinks in, Rolex on and I grab my black trench coat. I'm all set. I grab my wallet, phone and keys and make my way to my black Ferrari. I need to have a bit of fun tonight.

Alina baby I'm on my way.
