XLIII *NOT EDITED*

Vincenzo

Maison and I sit in silence as this she devil speaks about herself and only herself, it feels like my ears are bleeding, can that happen? Can your ears bleed from listening to someone's voice? "Ha, guess she took my adive literally" Scarlett laughs, it's been 30 minutes where the fuck is she? I swear if she's drinking in the bar by herself I'm going to fucking smack her ass red raw tonight. What if something's happened to her? A voice in my head yell's and I'm sent into panic mode. "I'm going to look, she's barely eaten today, maybe she's sick" I say standing up from the table, both Maison and Scarlette call out to me but I ignore them and head towards the bathrooms.

I walk into the womens bathroom without fully thinking about what I'm doing, when I walk in there are three women who are looking at me shocked and confused, "Have you seen a short beautiful woman, green eyes, white dress and long brown hair?" I ask looking between the three of them, they all shake their heads, usless bunch of bitches. Im about to leave when something red catches my eye, I look into the bin and see a paper towel with blood on it and I just know it's Karma's, don't ask me how I know I just fucking know.

I grab the paper towel and storm out of the bathroom back to the table, once I'm there I slam the soggy towel onto the table infront fo them, they both look at me like I'm crazy. "What'd you do with her Black?" I ask looking to Maison first, "Ace we have both been sitting here with you for the past half an hour. And secondly, how do you even know if it's her blood? We have thousdands of people that come here every day" He replies leaning back in his seat.

"I know it's her's, I know my wife's blood. I've cleaned it enough fucking times to know what her blood looks like. It might look like normal blood to you but I can put money on it that it's hers, so where. Is. She" I growl, they look at eachother nervously and I'm about to rip their heads off until Gios voice comes through my earpiece, "She's at the bar brother, don't blow your top in there". "When I find her and I find out it was either of your's doing, you're going to have a very special spot in the boot of my car" I warn before making my way to the bar area.

The bars dark and smokey making visbaility difficult, if I know my girl she will be at the bar instead of a table so I walk towards the people sitting on barstools until I see her perfect figure and luscious hair, there's my girl. As I get closer I notice shes talking to someone, another female who looks like she's supposed to be working here. "Aren't you supposed to be doing a job?" I ask looking to the waitress, she stiffens up when she looks to me before elooking back to Karma "Vincenzo stop being a fucking bully, she's off the clock and she's my new bestie" Karma giggles as she twirls the waitresses hair in her fingers.

"Alright come on you need to eat leonessa" I groan, Karma scribbles down a phone number and says goodbye to the waitress before walking with me back towards the table. I hold onto her hand and stabilize her "You reek of vodka" I say silently, watching her as she tries her hardest to walk in her heels, "And you reek of a shit time" She hisses back snatching her hand out of mine. My blood boils but I'm not going to make a scence here. I'll do it back in our room. "I thought I told you not to drink" I reply leading her to the table, "You said don't total yourself, I am not totaled. Only half" She fights back before stopping dead in her tracks, "Did you tell that whore about me?" She asks putting her hands on her hips. I stare at her until I figure who she's on about, "No I didn't which is why we need to get more information out of her instead of fucking drinking".

She bends down and starts taking her shoes off in the middle of the restaurant, "What are you doing?" I ask looking down at her "Taking these off my feet fucking hurt" She mumbles under her breath, I get down on the ground with her as the customers around us stare at us like were crazy, well yeah we are. "Where are you hurt?" I question skimming over her body quickly, she looks at me funny for a few seconds before replying "The fuck are you on about sir?".

"I know you're bleeding or were bleeding so explain," I say inspecting her arms, "Oh I fell over and cut the back of my arm... but how did you know?" She asks raising an eyebrow at me, "I found the blood int he bathroom" I reply looking at the cut on the back of her arm just like she said, "what are you a fucking sniffer dog?" She questions and all I can hear is Iggy and Gio laughing in the earpieces.

I help her undo the small buckles on her heels before picking them up and carrying them for her, I hold out my hand and help her to her feet before we continue to walk towards the table, Scarlett's unbearable voice begins to get louder the closer we get "I'm gonna shoot her Vin" Karma giggles as we get closer, "No you're not. Not here anways".

"Oh look who you found? Was she in the playground playing with the other kids?" Scarlett smirks but Karma's too drunk to even notice her, "There's a fucking playground in here?!" She asks looking around, I sit in my seat and pull Karma onto my lap, Scarlett and Maison watch as I begin to feed her chips so she's at least eating something, the waiters come out with deserts this time placing some type of chocolate thing infront of us. I dip the tip of my finger into what looks like chocolate sauce before bringing it to Karma's lips, she opens her mouth and sucks on my finger without breaking eye contact with me, I know the others are uncomfortable but I'm fucking turned on and quite comfortable if I'm honest. "So did you find out why she was bleeding or aren't you that good of a husband?" Scarlett asks with a nasty look on her face.

"I tripped over on the way to the bathroom and a woman at the bar helped me, so next time you have a question for ME why don't you try asking ME" She replies looking to the bloodied paper towel that's still on the table before moving her eyes to Scarletts. She turns back to me pouting her lips "You really knew that was my blood?" She asks in a baby tone of voice. "Of course leonessa" I reply, she leans down and brushes her lips against mine before giving me one long soft kiss, "I'm gonna let you fuck me so hard toni-" She begins but Scarlett cuts her off "ENOUGH, IVE HAD ENOUGH. I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU I'M NOT WAITING ANYMORE" She screaches as she leans over the table to grab Karma, I go to move Karma out of the way but she starts laughing trying to get off of my lap.

Maison holds on to Scarlett as she tries to climb over the table in anger, while I'm focused on whether Maisons got Scarlett I don't notice that Karma's out of my grip and reaching for a fork on the table near her, I go to grab her arm to stop her but I'm too slow, as Scarlett claws at the table like a wild animal Karma slams her hand down, the fork going through Scarlett's hand and pinning it to the table beneath her, next she grabs the back of her head and slams it into the wooden table twice "You're not waiting anymore to kill me? Go ahead honey, do it I'm waiting! You in on this too?!" She laughs manically looking to Maison who hasn't moved an inch.

"Karma I want to fuck you not kill you" He replies which sets me off, "Say you want to fuck my wife one more time and I'm going to blow your brains out across this fucking restaurant brother". The waiters rush to get customers out, this must be a common thing here. "So are you going to do it?" She asks taunting Scarlett, as she walks around the room, Scarlett rips the fork out of her hand and turns around to face Karma. "So many people have hits out on your stupid fucking head but I'm going to be the one to get the trophy kill, fuck the rest of them, fuck all of them!! fucking German dumbasses" She screams.

Maison looks to me while tapping on the gun in his suit jacket, I shake my head I know Karma will take her out easily. "Oh, so you're in with those assholes? I guess you know all my dirty little secrets then?" Karma teases as they both stare at each other. The thing is Scarlett looks scared her face might not but her eyes are terrified, but Karma? She's happy, the smile she's wearing is a real one and it's fucking big. "Ace do you want us to surround the place?" Gio voice comes throught the earpiece, "Yeah," I reply under my breath as I watch the situation unfold. "I know all your dirty secrets, that no one in your family wants you, that your daddys dead, that your mommy hate's you. Your marriage is a contract and Ace doesn't care about you like you think he does, oh and that my dad enjoyed taking your son's life in front of you, imagine that, I could have had a stepbrother" She grins, wait a fucking minute did she just say Dad? Step Brother?

Karma's face drops when Scarlett speaks, I reach for my gun but Karma's quicker. Scarlett begins charging for Karma like a raging bull but she pulls the trigger before the bitch can even get close to her, the single gunshot rings around the now empty restaurant. A mist of blood sprays out behind Scarlett covering Maison and I in tiny droplets of blood, she stops running and falls down to the ground for her final resting spot. Maison and I get up and walk towards Karma, Maison kneels down next to the body and I go to my wife pulling her into me, "We're leaving after this, were not staying in this city any longer than need be".

"Nice headshot, thought you wouldn't have it in you anymore" Maison teases as he stands up, Karma moves the gun to Maison now pushing me behind her, "You in on this too?" She questions tilting her head to the side. "Karma I'm in charge of New York if i wanted you dead you would have been shot the moment you stepped off that plane, and you know I don't deal with the Germans. If I had of known I would have done it myself when I first met her, but she didn't ask questions so neither did I" He admits rubbing the back of his neck. "You're a fucking shitty Capo Black. Now if you will excuse me my husband and I are leaving. If you move an inch I will have every single one of my men shoot you down where you stand, Gio tag him so he knows I'm not fucking joking around". A small red dot lands on Maison's chest, there he is. "Well, it was nice... visiting you" I smirk looking at body lying lifelessly at his feet, "We will have to do it another time".

Karma holds onto my hand and begins to walk backwards out of the restaurant, "Gio shoot him if he moves an inch" She chuckles still pointing her gun at Maison. Once were further away she turns around and drags me out of the restaurant shoving me into the waiting limo, slamming the door behind her she rips out her earpiece and microphone before screaming and punching the window of the car repeatedly, I lean over and pull her into me pinning her arms to her side as she continues to scream and cry in anger.

"I'm going to fucking kill them all" She screams before she sobs her heart out, "I'm going to rip every single one of them limb from fucking limb". The limo stops and the doors open with Gio and Iggy getting in before we begin to drive again "What the fuck happened?" Gio asks looking at the both of us, I hold Karma as close to me as I can and take a deep breath before I reply "I need every single person on high alert, if they're not one of us I want them shot dead on the spot, pilots, drivers, chefs, maids I don't fucking care. Gio make sure the planes are ready to take off as soon as we get tot he airport, Iggy make sure everyone's on the fucking planes before we get there if they're not they're getting left behind".

"Already done brother" Gio replies looking at Karma with a frown on his face, Karma stops sobbing and raises her head to look out the back window of the car while I talk to Gio and Iggy. All of a sudden she's crawled out of my lap and is hanging out of the window of the limo throwing something at the car behind us, seconds later she slides back into her seat "Cover your ears" She yells before putting her hands over her ears and tucking her head between her knees, we do the same as a blast goes off behind us shattering all of the windows in our car.

My ears ring for what feels like hours until I can start hearing noises again, "Everyone good?" Iggy asks looking at all of us, Gio nods yeah, "Yeah" I reply looking to Karma who's now smiling like a Cheshire cat. "Was that you?" Gio asks looking to Karma, she nods her head and wipes the mascara from her cheeks before lighting up a cigarette. "They were in the restaurant before everyone was thrown out and followed us after we left so I blew them up" She shrugs, "With what a bloody grenade?!" Iggy asks throwing his hands in the air, she takes a drag of her smoke and nods her head, "Where the hell did you hide that?" I aks looking to her.

"Down my bra like any normal woman would, duh".
