CASSIUS’S POV
Opening my eyes, I met Alessia’s face just an inch away from mine.
As she slept peacefully, I couldn’t help but trace my fingers on her face.
I felt like kissing the fuck out of her lips, nd leave her breathless when she pouted her heart-shaped lips.
She is fucking gorgeous, and I could bid my whole wealth, for just a night with her.
My eyes drifted from her features down to her breasts.
My hands were itching to cup her breast in my palms and tease her tits with my tongue.
Fuck! She was making my cock stand, even without doing a thing.
If not for the fact that she was sleeping and was tired due to the day’s activities, I would have flipped her over and spank her ass, as I shove my cock into her ass hole.
I felt like doing all manners of sins with her, but it wasn’t the right time.
My phone rang for the tenth time, and I took it from my pocket and picked it up.
” What is it, Dragon?” I asked, sitting upright from Alessia’s bed.
” We have a problem.” He said, as he hesitated to speak up.
” Will you speak up or not!” I growled.
” Our goods which were shipped from Russia were held by The Devils. They demand to see you.”
I growled inwardly, as my eyes turned bloodshot in a matter of seconds.
” I will be there now.” I replied and hung up.
I turned to look at Alessia one last time before jumping out of her apartment through the window.
As much as I wanted to commit different sins with her body, I couldn’t stay back, not when the Devil’s Clan was trying to mess with my goods.
I got to my Clan in a few minutes and asked for all the mobsters to gather in the meeting room.
In a few more minutes, everyone was gathered around the large tables, and I began.
” Devil’s Clan got hold of my goods from Russia. I need to get them, but I also need back up.”
I started and looked at Dragon and every other mobster in the room. The silence was deafening, but it was also passing as much message as my eye contact.
” The Devils are dangerous, but I can go alone, but I can’t risk my goods. As much as they are dangerous, they are also smart, so let’s pay homage to them.” I smirked.
” Yes Boss!” They all chorused at once.
I distributed the roles of each mobster and the angle in which they will stay hidden and alert, in case the Devils try to play smart.
After much strategizing, we were off to the Devil’s Clan.
The Devil’s Clan is owned by Russell Volkov, the great Italian Mafia of all time, but that title will be taken from him soon.
I will strip him of that title and become the great Italian Mafia of all time.
My father, Duncan tried to get his hands on the title, but couldn’t, because he fell in love with my mother and would do whatever it takes to protect her.
Because of her, he gave up on the Great Mafia title, but I won’t.
I don’t love anyone, and have no one to protect.
Alessia is no one for me to protect, and I won’t drag her into my mess.
She just happened to be the one who could tame my demons, and until they are tame finally, I would continue lurking around her.
” Let’s get going.” I ordered and walked out of the meeting room with Dragon behind me.
” Boss,” he called, causing me to halt with a frown on my face.
” Are you injured?” He narrowed his eyes as he looked at me.
The question caught me off guard that I couldn’t say a word.
As much as Dragon is my right hand man, he is also my friend.
” No, I’m not. Let’s focus on the mission at hand.” I replied and wanted to leave, but Dragon held my hand, stopping me from leaving.
” Let me see.” He insisted and raised my shirt up, only to see my bandaged stomach.
I tried so hard so he won’t find out, but Dragon was always known for his long eye sight and how keen he looks at things.
I was already caught even before I thought of hiding the fact that I was injured from him.
A sigh escaped his lips, as he spoke up.” Was that from Xikers Clan?”
” We have no time to waste, get your acts together, Dragon!” I replied, my expression turning cold, but Dragon didn’t mind.
” You want us to go on a mission when you’re injured?” He asked, his brows dipped.
” My injury won’t stop this mission, not when my goods are involved.” I growled. ” Let’s get this over with, then we can talk later.”
I walked out on him to get ready for the mission.
Soon, we got into our van and filled up as he made our way towards the Devil’s Clan.
We got there and all the mobsters positioned themselves with the ear bud in their ears.
As I made my way into the Devil’s Clan, my eyes narrowed, taking in the surrounding which was filled with different mobsters with guns staring at me keenly.
” How many mobsters are inside the Clan?” I asked Kensley through the ear bud.
” Fifteen Mobsters, Boss.” Kensley replied and I swiped my tongue over my lips.
” Ahhh! You’re here early, Cassius.” Russell fucking Volkov said, holding a huge cigarette in between his lips.
By his right side were ten mobsters holding their guns in place and by the right side were five mobsters also.
Any silly move from me, they shot.
” Yes, I got the information quite early.” I smirked and dipped my hands inside my pocket.
I wasn’t afraid of Russell and I was sure he knew that for a fact.
He doesn’t move me and even a thousand Russell fucking Volkov can’t stop me from getting that title of the great Mafia of all time, from him.
” Russell, I need my fucking goods.” My voice dripped with venom, as my blood shot eyes met with his.
” And what if I don’t?” He asked, his brow raised.
” Do I need to spell it out for you? You’re messing with the wrong person. I know you’re trying to get me, since my father gave up his position because of my mother, but I don’t do such.”
I said, my deep black hair falling over my emerald green eyes, as I breathe those words in a whisper.
” Are you sure you won’t give up like your father did?” He laughed, his voice resonating inside the Clan, as he stood up slowly from his throne.
” Well, you can try me and see. As you know, I was trained so much that I have not even a single emotion left inside of me.”
” Cassius, are you really sure you can win against me?”
He asked once he got to me, as he took slow steps circling around me.
” I don’t need to win against you, Russell. You’re not up to my standard to compete with.”
Those words touched a sour spot, and his face tightened in anger.
” Cassius!”
” Russell fucking Volkov!” I interrupted, my loud deep voice overshadowing his. ” Now, you will listen to me. Get my goods, I have no time to waste!”
” Aha! The guts!” Russell smirked. ” I’m sure, very sure, that you Cassius, have someone you want to protect so badly right now. Trust me, I will make sure to use that person to weaken your resolve.”
” You’re free to do that. Let me know once you find the person.”
With that said, I turned around and walked out of his Clan.
” Dragon!” I called once I got out of the Clan.
” Bring four mobsters with you and take my goods from Russell.”
