Chapter 29

**Matteo**

After dinner, I grabbed Renzo by his arm and dragged him up to my office roughly. I was pissed at him for suggesting to Lily to let him fuck her into oblivion.

When we entered my office, I threw him on the floor. “You son of a bitch! You keep your hands of my woman!”, I said in a dark, calm manner.

“It was a joke, Matteo, come on!”, Renzo pleaded. I know that it was joke, but Lily was no longer a laughing matter to me.

“You keep your hands off of her.”, I threatened him. Renzo nodded. “One finger on her, and you are going back to running on the streets.”, I tell him. I see Renzo swallow. Good, at least he knows I’m serious about this. I dismiss Renzo with a flick of my hand.

Just as he left my office, and I was about to go down again, my phone rings and I picked up.

“Luciano.”, I answered the phone. He started to tell me about a problem with our weapon supplier, and I groaned. Running my free hand through my hair out of frustration, I started pacing my office.

“How come they are demanding more money?”, I asked frustrated. We finally managed to get the first shipment on our shores, and now this.

“What the fuck?! Who got to him?”, I asked Luciano. “Tommaso?”

“Fucking son of a bitch!”, I swore, and I punched the wall at this setback. “We need to teach that boy a lesson.”, I said to Luciano. If not for messing with our supplier, then at least for touching my woman.

“Get back here, I will get the others and we will fly there immediately.”, I ordered Luciano, and I hung up.

“Damn it!”, I yelled to no one, and threw my phone on my desk. I was looking forward to a night with Lily in my bedroom, but now that was not going to happen. I just didn’t have the guts to tell her directly, so being the wuss I am, I texted Vita to tell Lily. Meanwhile, I ordered Ennio and Renzo in my office directly to talk shop on how we are going to get the supplier back in line.

I was leaning back in my seat while we flew to our destination. Closing my eyes, I tried to focus on the business at hand, but no matter how much I tried, my mind drifted towards the vision of Lily bent over my desk. Then I was reminded of her wearing Tommaso’s shirt and hickey, and I was fuming fast enough. I guess that was the feeling I needed to hang on to when going to the supplier.

I was not prepared for the feelings I had when I found Lily wearing another man’s shirt. Let alone a hickey on her collarbone that was not mine! The last thing I wanted was to scare her away with my anger. I was ready to kill someone right then and there, and it took all my willpower not to punch anything. Somehow it eased my mind to know that the fucker hadn’t fucked her!

There were probably more guys she had been with in the past, a fact I didn’t particularly like, but I would have to live with that. I preferred to put my head in the sand when it came to that. The feelings she made me have scared me though. I loved fucking her, she was so incredibly receptive of my touch, and she was always wet and aroused when she was around me. Her pussy felt so amazingly good around my dick. I also loved talking to her, but I was struggling to keep my mind on the topic around her.

“One more hour.”, Ennio told me, and I nodded. I went over the plan with them again. I knew it wasn’t necessary, because these guys were the best, but I wanted to be completely prepared. There were a few critical things in our plan to end on top again. This supplier was one of them.

Lily was another. And there my mind went wandering again, to Lily bent over my desk. God, that was a good fuck! Just thinking about it made me hard again, and I shuffled in my seat. Ennio smirked at me, having an inkling at what was going through my mind.

“Lily, huh?”, he said. I gave him a nod. I wasn’t ready to talk about her with anyone, not even Ennio. Ennio could read me like no other, and because we grew up together, trained together, and were raised to be leaders of the business together, we knew what the other was thinking.

“Is it like the others?”, he asked. I shook my head. “Good.”, he said, and the conversation was finished. Unlike what Renzo thought, there had been no dry spell at any point in time. There had been plenty of women, but I only fucked them once. Usually, I met them at one of our clubs, and fucked them at one of our hotels. I never allowed them in my home. I didn’t care about knowing their name, and I didn’t tell them mine.

I know that Ennio and Vita didn’t like that about me, but when mom and dad were killed, they were already with their partners. Partners born into the life we were leading, so they understood the path ahead of us.

I spent all my time and energy on planning and getting our revenge. It took me years to get everything in place that was needed to destroy the Bruno’s completely. I used sex as a way to release my anger.

I felt the plane losing height slowly to prepare for landing. I stretched my neck in both directions and slowly got into the zone as I always did before a mission. We didn’t know what exactly we were heading into, so we had better be prepared for everything. This group was my elite warrior team.

Before we left the plane, we made sure everyone was dressed appropriately, had the ammunition needed, and that the earpiece for communication was working. I knew we had another hour in the car ahead of us, but this was their territory.

Nino parked the car as close by as we could. I nodded, and we pulled the balaclavas over our heads, and we slipped out of the car to advance to the supplier’s headquarters. I felt the adrenaline rush through my veins, as we approached the doors. I nodded to Luciano and Renzo across from me, as they kicked the door open and started to gun down the guards. Staying vigilant at any movement we saw and heard, we moved into the compound as a group towards the office of the big boss here.

Every time we rounded a corner, we had to shoot down a few guards that charged at us. I didn’t hear the bullets flying past my ears because of the adrenaline beating in my ears. I was focused on the task ahead, getting to the boss and showing him who owns him. I was so focused on getting to the door that I knew was the way to his office that I didn’t see the boobytrap.

When I reached the door, bullets were fired from a hole in the door at me. Ennio pulled me down as fast as I could. I didn’t feel any pain, so I kept moving and kicked down the door when the boobytrap stopped firing.

There he was, Juan Sanchez, sitting in his chair surrounded by his guards. Guards that are pretty useless if you ask me, because they couldn’t prevent us getting in here. He was smoking his cigar, and his stomach was protruding as he leaned back.

I sat down in the chair across from him and watched Luciano and Renzo take down the guards. Ennio walked straight to Juan and put his gun to his head.

“So, Juanito. I heard you had some complaints?”, I said, putting my feet on his desk. I had to give it to the guy, he was not showing his fear. But when he started talking there was a slight tremor in his voice.

“I had a better offer for my goods.”, he said. Perception was everything in this line of work, even Juan here knew this.

“You and I both know it’s not worth more money than I already pay you.”, I stated, as I put my feet back on the floor and got out of the chair. I slowly walked around the desk. Juan tried to get up as well, but Ennio pulled him down harshly with his hand around Juan’s windpipe.

As the adrenaline was slowly going down, I started to feel a throbbing in my shoulder, but I choose to ignore it, I still needed Juan to commit. I walked over to Juan and punched him hard in the stomach.

“I said: you and I both know it’s not worth more money than I already pay you.”, I repeated myself, wanting to get a reaction from him. Juan refused again. I have to give it to him, he had some balls by resisting me.

I punched him in his face and heard a sickening crack. I saw blood coming from his nose, so I must have just broken it. “Nino, come in.”, I asked loudly. About a minute later, Nino entered the room pushing forward a young woman. He had her gagged with a cloth and had tied her hands behind her back.

You see, I never go in without a plan B. While the four of us were making our way to Juan, Nino had been tasked with locating and securing his daughter.

“So, Juanito. Does this change your mind?”, I asked him, while being in his face. Juan nodded, suddenly looking terrified. I guess he wasn’t expecting us to know he had a daughter.

“Good. So, we will take your daughter with us, and you will continue to supply us with the weapons according to our deal. The moment you disobey, rat us out, or strike a deal with others, we will take turns raping your daughter, and killing her slowly and painfully. Don’t worry, we will send you the recording afterwards. Capice?”, I asked him in a deadly calm voice. He nodded, trying to plead with me. Ennio’s hold on his throat was so tight that he couldn’t get any words out.

“Good. We’re out of here. Nino, Renzo, take Serena here.”, I ordered and led the way to the car. We were not bothered by anyone anymore.

I hissed when I sat down in the van. The throbbing of my arm just got worse. I guess I must have hurt myself somewhere along the way, and now the adrenaline was leaving the body, I started to feel the ache. Well, it was going to have to wait until we were on the plane out of here.

It was quiet in the van, apart from the banging that Serena was doing in the back of the van. I hated that we needed to take her out of there in order to make Juan comply to our deal. I would like to think that I’m not a brute, but yeah. I would just never rape a woman, that is a hard limit for me. I can get plenty of woman willing.

Within ten minutes of getting on the plane, we were on our way back. I was taking my jacket and shirt off when I started feeling dizzy. I held onto the seat to keep myself from falling over. My shoulder wasn’t cooperating, no matter what I tried. The throbbing was getting worse.

“Luciano, can you help? My jacket is stuck somewhere.”, I asked, hating how weak my voice sounded. Luciano moved over and tugged on the sleeve, when I started seeing black spots over my eyes. I grabbed the seat again to steady myself. I heard talking and shouting somewhere, but I couldn’t respond anymore. I tried to hold myself up, but no matter what I tried, I fell down and everything around me turned pitch black.
