Chapter 62 WISDOM OF MEN
MARCUS BLOOM

Dang it!

This is unbelievable. Why would Roberto invite Lorenzo to the celebration?

For what exactly?

I became unsettled. This can't be good at all.

If Lorenzo should show up at the celebration, I can't guarantee he won't make a scene and even much more implicate me in the long run.

I have to do something about this!!!

“Marcus, what excuse are we giving to the Boss? We are way past time already..” Duder interrupted my train of thoughts.

“Just follow my lead. Right now, there is a bigger case I need to sort. I don't trust Lorenzo being here,” I replied in a sharp tone.

“I told you I never liked that man. He might look stupid and lousy but he really does have a lot up his sleeves…”

“What is your plan exactly? I want in on it, Marcus..” he added.

I ignored and signaled to him to get out of the car. The minute I got out, I was met by some bodyguards by the entrance.

It was as though I was back at Lorenzo's and everywhere was looking different.

“Are you seeing this, Duder?” 

“What's going on, man?” I said to the bodyguard at the door. “How is this suddenly your post? Where is that other dude, Balaak?” I asked.

“There has been a row change, Captain…that's all I can say,” he spoke rudely.

My anger skyrocketed all of a sudden. It was as though his statement srcuk a nerve inside of me and I flared up.

“What do fuck do you mean ‘that is all you can say’? Do you realize who you are talking to at all?” I lashed out angrily.

“Captain…I'm sorry but I really can't go further than I just did,” he repeated.

“How dare you?!!” 

I confronted him angrily as I clenched my fist.

“Don't test me,” I uttered.

“That is exactly what I would say to any man whontey to pass his bounds,” the voice of Roberto came behind me.

“Boss,” I took a bow that instant.

“So now you come in as you like and you just feel.youncoukd disturb my peace, uhn?”

“And where the fuck have you been? You have been gone for hours!!” 

“Boss, we encountered a bit of delay on our way down to the factory. There was a fight amongst the Rig Lords and we were there just during the heat of the fight,” I explained.

That excuse was the only way out…the valid one Roberto wouldn't doubt.

The Rig Lords were known for their constant fight. It was a dangerous zone even for some of the Mafia gangs.

The Rig Lord were a faction of their own. Not even the Mafia Bosses had any influence on them.

Roberto had tried all he could to get them on his side but it just never worked out. 

People can be bribed and influenced but not the Rig Lords. They were not only ferocious but also unequally yoked with any other denomination.

However, it does seem to me like Lorenzo has some sort of affiliation that may be an advantage to me personally.

I paused.

“This better not go south,” I said in my mind.

“The Rig Lords again? Those fuckers never take a break,” Roberto uttered.

“It was an intense one, Boss. We just had to wait it out,” I added.

“Its all good. Come inside. We need to talk. Its very important,” he said.

I knew it had to be about Lorenzo however my mind had shifted. It was time for plan B.

Katherina..

I turned to Duder and signaled to him, “Check on Lucia,” I said in a low tone.

I got inside and right there, Roberto sat with Katherina on his laps.

“I'm sure you have seen the changes I made whilst you were away….you are still their Captain, my boy….So keep calm….I made those changes for one thing….”

I paused and acted like I didn't know what the conversation was already about.

“What's that, Boss?”

“Lorenzo….I'm sure you remember him, my half stepbrother. The one I told you covet all I have,” he uttered.

“You invited him over but Boss…you know how much he despises you. What if….”

He chuckled out loud, cutting my sentence off….”Oh come off it….there is nothing Lorenzo can do to me. Not in his lifetime! He can try but he can't get me or would you allow him?”

“Of course not, Boss…but I know you must have a plan. You can't just invite Lorenzo unles….” I paused and looked at Katherina who sat comfortably on Roberto's laps.

I sighed and signaled to him, “Boss, she can't be here..” I uttered.

He scoffed.

“Who can't be here? You can't simply be talking about Katherina right? You can't be talking about my wife, yes?” He blurted out.

I paused, “ Boss, she is a woman…this is against the code. We shouldn't allow women to have information about us, Boss. You taught us that,” I objected.

“She is no ordinary woman, young man. This lady right here is my woman, my wife so not all code applies to her. Get that right…” he responded.

What a joke.

Now she has his brains turned upside. I could bet this girl is just some witch waiting to crush everything the Deluca Mafia stands for. 

She is even worse than his ex wife. Always keeping quiet like she couldn't talk yet she is making do a lot…

A lot against me, against the Mafia.

No way I am letting this bitch live.

“Dont you think you are missing something?” He interrupted.

Uhn?

“Apologize to Katherine right now,” he said.

What the…..

My mouth was agaped…I couldn't believe what I just heard.

This is not Roberto Deluca. This is a man manipulated by a woman..this is history repeating itself and I am gonna make sure it ends.

I scoffed…”I should just act it out. That way I won't raise any suspicion of what I plan to do later on,” the voice in my head suggested.

“I'm sorry, Katherina….I really didn't mean it that way. Yku are Boss's heartrob and I respect and honor you. I was only being inquisitive on what I could discuss whilst you are here..”

“Please accept my apology. I hope you will bless us with your presence tonight at the celebration,” I said with a hidden intention behind the smile.

That was where I hope to get her. 

My ultimate plan was to have Lucia poison the children and hide the remnants in her dress or somewhat.

Then boom, she is done for…

“She won't be there so leave that part out,” the Boss said.

My eyes widened in surprise.

Fuck….I have to see Lucia!
