Chapter 59 MARIO’S HEAD

Chapter 59 MARIO’S HEAD
Dimitri

“The only reason I am choosing to listen to you is because you are as close to me as Mario was..”

“So spilll whatever you have up there in your head and be careful what comes out of those lips,” I warned.

“I was hoping if you have another meeting with Roberto DeLuca,” he started. 

“Hmm….and why do I have to do that?” 

“I'm sure Mario would have something tangible for me when he gets back here,” I uttered.

“Boss…..I just have a bad feeling Mario could have been turned,” he uttered.

“What are you saying? Don't get me possed. I warned you of your next words.”

“My Boss…I'm sorry. I've heard a lot for stories about the DeLuca and the wealth they possess in the family lineage. You know how Mario is with material possessions. He could be bought away with it if it's on the high side,” he added.

I paused. 

I thought about what he said and I actually saw reason to it. It does made sense but not totally.

Mario would never do such to me. Though I knew his weakness for money and material stuff but at the expense of his loyalty to me, Dimitri??

“Nah….he wouldn't dare,” I told myself.

“Boss..I just don't think he can be trusted. I have seen him do some suspicious things that could endanger his loyalty to you,” Josef started.

“And what would that be?” I asked.

He cleared his throat.

“Ever since Diego got missing, did you notice how Mario got closer to you?” He started by asking.

“Can you stop with these questions and go straight to the goddamn point?! What exactly are you driving at?”

“Mario knows about how much you take care of Diego. He has always envied his relationship with you and sometimes. He asks so many odd questions from Diego back then all to get information,” he explained.

Hmmm….

“Amd how did you know this, Josef? Are you telling me you have eavesdropping on the men's conversation? Is that something you think anyone should be doing?” I asked.

Even though I knew what he was saying was some sort of advantage. It wasn't a bad behavior. Such spying talks were absolutely needed.

If Josef hadn't heard those things, I possibly would be kept in the dark also and as a Mafia King, that shouldn't be so.

I raised my eyebrows. “I want to know everything you know this minute.”

“Will I be i trouble for this, Boss? I didn't mean to. I just felt it was important that you know these things as they come,” he said ina defensive tone.

“As they come? If that be the case, why am I just hearing about this now??” I questioned in a haste.

He paused and kept mute.

“Speak!” I commanded.

“I just always find myself around them when talk, Boss…plus Mario puts me up to some mischievous act, Boss but I don't know if you would want to hear that,” he confessed.

“Don't play games. If you put me on suspense any much further from now, I'm gonna have your hands chopped off your body this minute,” I lashed out.

He shivered in fright.

“Erm…..Marcus made me steal from Diego's room. His valuables amd sme of those expensive wristwatches you gifted him, Marcus made me steal them and bring them to him…” he confessed further.

“I see…..so younare telling me Marcus is that crazy, uhn? All for the sake of acquiring wealth?” I asked.

And he nodded in response.

A part of me wanted to just shot Josef down right on the spot but I held back.

I am.just gonna wait this one out. “I need Mario back here first before I decide anything,” I thought out loud.

Just while I was talking, one of my bodyguards rushed in…”Boss, a delivery car parked right outside and the driver ram off before we could approach,” he said.

“What exactly is the jargons every single person is narrating before me today? This is pure rubbish! 

“What do you mean some vehicle is parked in front of my penthouse??!” I raised my voice.

“That's not all, Boss. The boys already searched the vehicle and we found a big box with your name imprinted boldly on it…”

“...that's why I'm here, Boss so you could come see for yourself…” he said.

I sighed….”Who the fuck is messing with me this time around??”

As I stood up, a call rented my phone speakers.

“Hello friend, this is bad timing. I'm in the middle of something,” I spoke hurriedly over the phone.

“Time is not either of our sides. What is going on? The delay is getting too much. I ought to have gotten a feedback by now,” the voice over the call blurted out.

“And you think saying this on repeat will get you a better result? Don't fucking stress me. I am.working on it!”

“I'm not stressing you. I already booked you a seat but you need something worthy enough to get what want you really want. You want to be a conqueror? You have to tender something conqueror-worthy!” 

“Friend…you need to give me some more time. I know you are running this race for my sake…but I ain't sleeping either. I have a fucking Mafia to run and right now, a lot is happening. You need to continue to save that spot, I will have something on Roberto soon…infact, let me call you back,” I answered in a haste.

“Wait a minute…what of the other thing? Should I be expecting a feedback on that too?” 

“Oh no no…that isn't available for now. Its shaky for me and I can't put my respect and honor on the line for that. You need to know I'm a king, a god for this city. I do things at my pace and I can get whatever I want when I want it.”

“Dont ever think you are irreplaceable, friend. So, let me get back to you and don't do anything that doesn't favor me. I don't treat my enemies right!!” I warned heavily.

“Hey Josef, find every possible way to reach to Mario…mother wait is fucking weighing things down already!!”

“You, let's go the fucking truck outside,” I said to the bodyguard in front of me.

We got to the white truck laying empty outside the gates. My men surrounded the car, all staring at the big box just at the back of the car.

“That's actually my name on that shit!!” 

“Boss, I don't think you should go closer,” one of my men called out.

“Just stay calm. I meed to know what's in there.”

I took the club from one of the bodyguards and with an outstretched arm, I opened the box with it.

“Gracious Jeez!!”

“Is that my Marcus??” I shouted as I stared at Marcus severed body parts arranged within the box.
