(NFTMB)Chapter 91
Alessandro
(Green Eyed Monster)
Horror.
Absolute shock.
What is happening to me?
Why does everyone get away with deceiving me?
I feel useless and as dumb as a bitch. Can I ever get anything right?
Why do I always get used by people?
I’m a dumb mafia boss.
A very dumb mafia boss.
Possibly the worst mafia boss in history.
With each wave of hatred and self torture, I downed yet another glass of whisky down with great force.
I need something as heavy as this. I need to drown out the voices of my rotten father and my useless grandfather.
My father was laughing at me. I could hear it loud and clear.
It’s in my head. His voice is in my head and I can’t get it out. It’s so loud that I hate it.
I hate hearing his roaring laughter as I imagined him smacking me over the head like he usually does which he knew that I hated.
I hated it whenever he did that. He made me feel very worthless and weak.
Like I would never amount to anything.
Like I would never be half the man that he was.
His voice and laughter said it all, “You will never be enough, Alessandro”. “You will never be as smart as me”. “You will never be as strong as me”. “You’ll never be half the man I was”. “You will never be half the mafia leader I was”.
I can hear him again. He was laughing again. Loudly. He laughed so loud that he almost choked on his laughter before coughing violently and continuing his annoying laughter.
I see him standing right in front of me. He’s in here. I can see the fucker.
If only I can kill the fucker. Again.
I would have done it. Why does he laugh so much? There’s nothing funny about this.
A mere girl pulled a fast one on me. She humiliated me and played me for a fool. She did it effortlessly and got away with it.
I made myself easily accessible to her and popular in the negative light to the whole world thereby giving her an ammunition to use against me.
She knew and had the weapon and she wielded it so well that as the fool I am. I suspected nothing.
Nothing.
“You’re nothing”. My father yelled out.
He even took a swig of my whisky.
Maybe I can shoot him all over again now when he stands just right in front of me.
I slowly pulled out my gun from behind me before hearing a gasp.
Is he scared? A scared ghost?
“Uhh, Nic he has a gun. You might want to step back”
“I know. Shut up now!”
Who are these people talking? Where do they come from? This isn’t the voice I’m used to hearing since this night.
Is Nic what he goes by now in the underworld?
“Where are you, Nicholas fucking Rossi!”
“Shoot me, I’m right here, son. Do it! And for once aim right and don’t embarrass me!”
So he knows that as well. He saw that too?
I see.
“You can’t even aim right? After all these years? And you call yourself a leader?! Have you no shame?!”. His dead cold voice yelled in my head and rang in my ears.
“Alessandro, you’re not pointing the gun in the right direction. Uh, you might wanna take it to the left a bit”
Who is that?
Are they with father? Have they come to mock me too? Make fun of my aim and my skills? Really?!
Well, then. Bring it on.
“I know what I’m doing you dead dimwit!”
With that I shot at where my gun was pointed.
“What the fuck, man!”
“Geez, Alessandro! Be careful! You almost shot Nic!”
Who’s Nic?
“Nic? Nicholas Rossi? Is that what he goes by in the underworld now after I killed him?! Nic the dick?! Well, he’s a dick and a lunatic so he deserves the shitty title”
I laughed to myself. That was funny.
I heard shuffling and what sounded like…. struggling?
“No, Nic, wait. He’s not in his right mind now!”
“I don’t care! He’s gone overboard this time!”
“Nic!”
I heard fast footsteps.
“Hey! Don’t you ever call me that!”
The next thing I felt was a slap to the face that sent my face flying to my right.
And that woke me right up from my trance.
“What did you do, Nic!”
“Leave me alone, Valentino! This guy almost killed me! Swear you didn’t see that”
My eyes slowly peeled open to see a very angry Niccolo standing in front of me with furrowed eyebrows.
He looked pissed and I’m sure he was the person who slapped me back to earth.
Niccolo on the other hand looked nervous as fuck.
“Who hit me?”. I asked
“No, Alessandro, wait. He didn’t mean”
“It was me!”
“Thank you”
The whole room was silent after I spoke.
They must be surprised that I thanked someone who smacked me across the face.
“You’re welcome. It was my pleasure”
“You hear that, Valentino? He’s grateful for that”
“So what happened at her place? Why did you call us out here?”
“Yeah that’s right. Did anything happen? Is she the one?”
“She wasn’t a stripper. She was a spy.”
“A spy?”
“From who?”
“She was Greg’s sister. She came to take revenge on me for killing her brother and her nephew”
“Jesus Christ”
“Wait, what?!”
“And you never knew?!”
“No, I had no fucking idea! I was so dumb that I even made her my mistress. What a joke I have become”
“Damn, she’s good”
“Valentino, shut up, will you?!”
“No, he’s right. She’s good. She’s very good. She’s actually so good that she never slipped. She never acted out of character. Never made me suspect that she was nothing more than a whore till she hacked into my system and took my files. That was the first strike.
She was guilty but she convinced me that day that she wasn’t the one with how she maintained the lie even though I had a fucking knife to her skin. She was smart and determined and I was the fool who fell hook, line and sinker for fake assets”
“Hold up, she got them done just for revenge?”
“Yes. Based on previous photos I saw on her computer where she was close to being flat chested, I would have to believe that she had them done to fit the part”
“Wow. This girl really came prepared”
“She is quite determined”
“Was”. I corrected.
“You killed her?”
“Yes.”
“Ohh”
“I think Sebastian must have contacted her after I killed Greg. He must have informed her and made her go on this deadly mission of revenge that ultimately led to her demise. One more of his allies are down”
“That Sebastian really is a slime!”
“A rotten and despicable one! The very worst. I just feel like killing him”
“Wow, Valentino has the urge to kill? That’s a first!”
“There is always a first time for everything”
“But, Alessandro, how many people are actually after your life?”
“I think about that a little too. Don’t they ever get tired or stop? Don’t they ever forget?”
“Too many, Nic. Too many. There really is no peace for the wicked”. I said while reclining in my seat.
“But was this dead girl the same one who attacked you and Victoria?”
“No. It wasn’t her. She had a wound on her shoulder, alright. But it wasn’t from a gunshot. It was from a stab wound. She was caught in the middle of a brawl at the club and a drunk customer did that to her.”
“Did you find this out before or after she died?”
“Before. She told me but I felt she was lying and I killed her thinking she was trying to deceive me again. She had been on her computer and had also tried reaching for something when I pointed the gun at her.
I checked what she was reaching for and was surprised to see that it was a gun”
“Wait, she wanted to shoot you?!”
“Yes, I checked her computer and that was how I found out about Greg. I saw a million pictures of him and of two of them and even of the dead girlfriend. Now they all are dead and I hope their happiness continues. She even compared Victoria’s pregnancy to that Russian girls”.
“What did she say?”
“She said that her brother also couldn’t stand his girlfriend when she was pregnant and would come to her place to crash when she got extra cranky”
“At least they’ll all see each other now and continue their happiness in hell”
“Dark humor, Nic”
“I don’t fucking care”
“But Alessandro, why don’t we focus first on eliminating the people who are a threat to you?”
“Like Fabiano and Sebastian?”
“Exactly. We can catch them unawares. For Fabiano, we can have Amara poison him or something. That’s easy”
“No. He has crossed me so many times that killing him like that would be embarrassing to me. It will look like I’m too weak to kill him like the traitor and bastard he is”
“Well, that sounds kind of true. Poisoning him sounds like a weak and scared thing to do.
“Plus, I suspect that there are a lot more people involved in this.”
“Not only Fabiano and Sebastian?”
“No. There’s others”
“Why do you think so? Did you notice or see anything else?”
“Yes. The command to hack into my system and steal my files that she carried out perfectly came from a contact saved as, “Green Eyed Monster.”
“What?”
“That’s a stupid ass moniker to go by”
“Was there a number or anything?”
“Yes I copied it down”
“Give it to me and I’ll find out who the bitch is.”
I shared the contact with Niccolo as I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong.
I had that feeling of dread and doom in the pit of my stomach but I wrote it off as the after effects of finding out that tramp Robyn, was a spy.
“Do you know that she tipped off this person that I was at her place and that she was going to sedate me so whoever it was could come get me. It wasn’t even like I was going to take the tea.”
“This girl is mean”
“A Very very determined bitch”
“She really thought she could pull a fast one on me? Pathetic. She must really see me as nothing but an easy prey. Someone she fooled easily”
I had never suspected Robyn to be anything other than a dumb stripper who I picked up from the club for regular fun times.
I invited her to my house for fun and all the time she would insist on staying in the office, any of the spare rooms or even the living room and since I had no plans of bringing her into my room.
I agreed.
Like a dumb mafia boss. I let a girl like her play on my intelligence.
This is a fucking joke.
“I hope you shot her more than once for satisfaction and good measure? This bitch deserves the worst.”
“I riddled her dead body with bullets that even is she reincarnates again, she would be able to take a drop of water”
“That’s cold but the bitch deserved that”. Valentino said, laughing his heart out.
Niccolo looked like he was in deep thought.
“What is it, Nic?”
“I was just thinking. What if we get a surveillance footage of her apartment or elevator after you left.”
“Maybe. I’m sure Franco and his boys can get the job done. Why?”
“I didn’t leave any traces if that’s what you’re worried about”
“No. Its not”
“Okay. Then what?”
“Well, you said she told someone to come get you, right?”
“Yes. Green Eyed bitch”
“Getting the footage gives us the face of the person who wants you”.
“That’s smart, Nic”
Bingo!
