Chapter 31 PUREST LIE
Dimitri
A smirk.
My heart raced with excitement as the question was thrown at me. This is what I have been waiting for.
This is my plan all along!
“You told me I can request for anything so why the silence?” I said over the phone.
“Yes, I said so and I mean it. The Arkanson neighbor downtown is now home to your ammunitions. Not even the feds can ever suspect there or the people there. How do you think that became achievable?”
“Through your help of course and I know you can do more…”
“See, they don't fear me enough…I hear of the other Mafia Kings and how they rule with so much authority and poise. I want that too…I want everywhere and everything!!” I spoke in a clear and sharp tone.
“Likes of Roberto Deluca?”
“Oh yes…More powerful than him!!”
“Hmm…you see, what you request for is not a problem at all. You already set the pace for me to travel on..” the voice over the call echoed through the phone speakers.
I did? I was confused. I don't remember following any instructions that could lead to some heavy takeover.
“What pace is that, my friend?” I asked out of curiosity.
“You giving your daughter to him…we can use her to get to him and every other person he knows..”
Woah. I never even thought of that.
A wicked smile rented the entirety of my face and I scratched my beards with my bare hands.
“Now you have my utmost attention. How do you suggest I use my daughter? That girl doesn't know anything. You know she is a woman and she knows nothing about the Mafia,” I spoke defensively.
“We don't need her to know anything. We just need herto cooperate and do as she is told. Once that happens, oooh….its gonna be wonderful from hereon.”
I was a bit puzzled. Katherina, the same girl Gloria birthed for me.
That young lady doesn't know a thing. Sending her out of his house was like I was getting rid of a pest on my life.
She had no value, no importance, just another matter occupying space, in my house!!
“I think you are mistaken her for someone else. I don't thibknmy daughter is the one to be discussed in this conversation,” I voiced out.
“I know exactly what I am saying unless you don't wish to have everything and become the greatest in the Mafia circle.”
“You should watch it. I control men and I am no ordinary man,” I responded.
Laughter bursted out the phone speakers intermittently.
“Do you want to keep praising yourself or we should get down to business?” The voice over the phone responded rudely.
Skrrr…
Rude motherfucker. So lucky I'm desperste to get this, if not, I know what I am capable of.
Whilst the call was going on, one of my bodyguards, Lewis knocked and walked in.
“Boss, looks like the girls from the casino are here to see you. They don't look happy but they still look sexy though,” he said, smacking his lips afterwards.
I shook my head….”You are so stupid, saying that bullshit in front of me,” I lashed out angrily.
“Sorry, boss but…..”
I signaled to him to jmkeep his mouth shut…..
“Sorry, my friend, I can hear you. Ignore the interruption,” I said over the phone.
“I'm gonna be real quick with this. Your daughter is going to be running errands for us from over there..”
Errands? That's the least of my worries with her. She can't say ‘no’ to her father.
“I don't think we are going to have a problem with that. Just tell me what it is and it is done.”
“You need to put a call through to her amd tell her to snap every private document in Roberto's mansiom.. that would be the first task,” the voice over the call said and the call disconnected almost immediately.
Hello?
Hello? Hello??
There was no response and on radial, the number wasn't reachable.
“Shit!”
But that shouldn't be so hard. Katherina can do it..
“Tell those goddamn hoes to wait for in the other room. I'd come for them,” I turned to Lewis.
Those bitch asses want some compensation for witnessing the damage…so fucking stupid!
“Are you telling me you can't do it?” My voice full of rage sparked through the speakers.
She stuttered at first, “P….Pa…papa….I can't do it. What if I get caught? Roberto isn't some ordinary man I can just….” she objected.
I laughed out so loud and in a blink, the laughter ceased.
“Can you hear yourself? Are you sure you are my daughter at all or some alien thrown under my care? You are busy worshipping another man above your father and you are comfortable?”
“Are you dumb or something?”
“Roberto is my dog and he same as you! You do as I say or I make sure I double the hell you are in!!” I spoke angrily.
“Papa…please try to understand me. I can't do what you are asking of me. Its very risky. He has men every where even I the room where we sleep.”
“And how is that any of my business, Katherina? Do you think I care or what? Hold on, would you prefer war cause I'm equally ready for all of that if that is what you want, girl!” I shouted at the op of my voice.
“You have to do what I tell you to, Katherina.”
“But Papa….”
I paused.
My anger rose but then I remember the words of my friend on the call, “You have to take it easy on her…if you need to cajole her, do it, if you need to pet her to get it, do it more!”
Pff..now I have to be what I am not just for all rhat to happen.
“You wanna know the truth, Katherina?”
“What's that, Papa?” I heard her stutter over the phone.
“Those documents I asked you to take pictures of, they are not for bad, my dear Katherina..its for the Mafia…I just want to borrow knowledge, that's all.”
“If you get it for me, then I promise you I will do whatever you want. Just ask.”
I lied.
Hahaha….
