He rattles off the address and I write it down. “Call all of our guys in and I want you guys flooding the warehouse.”
Everyone nods and starts making the calls needed to get the guys in. I hate when I feel like someone has the one-up on me. This situation is not different, especially with Vera’s safety on the line.
“Uh, boss,” Milo mumbles from the doorway. “You have a phone call from Alki Baros.”
“Put him through to my phone,” I growl. I can’t wait to talk to him.
The phone rings from the office phone and I casually stroll over to it to answer it. I’m not going to let him think he has me by the balls. I’m not playing games with him.
“Baros,” I greet him with disdain dripping from my voice.
“You honestly think giving my daughter your car is going to keep her safe? You think it is going to protect her from the heat of- say, another explosion?”
“You are a sick bastard!”
Baros chuckles sardonically, clearly not phased by my insult. “I told that whore the deal. She fucked you and it ended her protection.”
He hangs up and the dial tone is loud in my ear as it rings. I can’t believe how callous the man is.
The Greek Mafia isn’t like the other mafias in the world. We are not as well known. If history books from America can give us a definition or an example about us, I would say we are just like the wild west in America. We have our own rules that we govern ourselves with, but not a lot of people know about us.
With all of that being said, our laws are made by us and we enforce them on our own.
Alki is right. If I would have known who Vera was, would I have fucked her? No. I wouldn’t have wanted to strike like that. I’m giving him a direct line to shoot and try to control my family by doing this. You never fuck another don’s wife, side piece, or daughter.
I don’t deny what I did. I just hope I can save Vera.
After everything has been said and done, would I be able to keep the woman who has made her way into my heart? Would I be able to keep her safe knowing her father is not going to stop until one of us dead?
If I was Baros, I wouldn’t stop until I have won or dead. I didn’t want a woman before because I didn’t want the responsibility of trying to keep one safe. I didn’t want to know if I could run my family and take care of the woman at the same time.
It looks like I haven’t been the choice. I’m not going to kick Vera to the side. I’m not going to let her go without a fight. The woman is definitely mine.
Baros can choke on his dick.
With all of the men piling into the room, I’m seething and foaming at the mouth. I can’t let the men know how worked up I am by Vera. I can’t seem weak at all.
“You sure about this?” Milo, my right-hand man who was at our warehouse when it got broke into by Baros, asks.
“I’m sure. Go ahead and strike. Get my shipment out and I’m going to get the girl on the phone and put her in a secure placement.”
Everyone leaves my office and they are practically growling at me. I know they didn’t want to get into this fight so soon. Unfortunately, the fight was sped up by my fucking Vera. Because of that, we have to attack next and hard.
Vera’s phone rings and rings. It keeps ringing.
And it keeps ringing.
I hang up and try it again. It rings again. This time it rings for over a minute.
I’m worried something happened to Vera because of me and I call in for a special favor. I call the police officer that’s in our pocket to track down the SUV. I have a tracker in the SUV and I’m hitting refresh over and over again until the screen has refreshed.
I would never buy a vehicle and not put a tracker on it. There is no way in hell I would do that. Plus, I put a couple more on the SUV before bringing it here.
I’m happy Milo brought the SUV to me when he got here.
The officer, Gregio, answers the phone quickly for me. “Octavious, what can I help you with today?” He asks.
I’m so pissed off I can’t help but shake from the anger.
