In Love With A Billionaire Mafia

Let The Games Begin

Damien's POV

" Sir, they are about to begin," Sergio said to me and gave me his laptop. There was a live feed playing.

I left Chloe sleeping in the house, I didn't want her to see this. I told her that I would tell her the truth about myself but after a week. I plan to make this the best week of our lives.

This is why I need to protect Chloe from everything else that is going on in my life. I am going to take back my place, but not until I know why my twin brother tried to kill me.

I know that Domenico and I haven't seen eye to eye on a lot of things, but when I made him my second in command, I thought that we would forget the past and work together as brothers.

Domenico is the older twin, I get it. He should have been the one to inherit our family legacy. Unlike him, he wanted this. He wanted to be the leader, and I didn't. If anything, I wanted a normal life.

But he kept on messing up so much that my father wrote him off, saying that he was too entitled and that he wouldn't make a good leader. Just like him, I didn't think that it was fair, but I know my father and I knew that he wouldn't do anything without a good reason.

I would have been more than happy to walk away from everything and leave it all to my brother, to give him what should have been his in the first place, but first, I had to see for myself if he was ready.

My father has been gone for a little over a year, I have been in charge for a year, and my brother has failed at every turn to prove himself. If anything, he caused problems for me to solve.

Only a few months ago, my brother went to LA and started a war with a street gang over one insignificant dealer. I get it. He wanted to prove himself and show us that he could expand the business, but instead, he almost started a war.

My father was a great leader, a fair and just leader. He would have never gone into someone's backyard and tried to take away their territory. As powerful as our family is, my father knew that respect was everything in this business.

We are drug dealers, which is our main source of income, but my father knew how to play by the rules. New York is the biggest operation we have, and Domenico almost ruined it by starting a war with a gang affiliated with the Russian Mob.

I had to be the one to go down there and put out the fire. That is how he managed to lure me back to LA. He knew that I would do anything to protect our family business, I just didn't think that he would take it that far.

I asked my mother to hold a memorial service for me, technically for him, since he is out there pretending to be me. I couldn't watch the feed in the house, in case Chloe woke up.

" It looks like everyone showed up," I said to Sergio, looking at the live feed. I saw my brother standing there like he didn't know what happened to me. Like he wasn't trying to steal my life.

" Everyone... I would like to say a few words about my brother," Domenico said.

I think that his talents are in acting. He looked exactly like me. He had the same haircut and my clothes. He even spoke like me.

" Now I know that the past week has been hell on everyone. My brother might have been a bit of a hothead, but I loved him. I wish we would have found him alive..." he said and cried. Fake tears, of course.

" I'm sorry... I can't," he said and cried even more.

" It's okay, son," Uncle Giuseppe said to him. He hugged him. Domenico went to sit down.

" Now, we all know that my nephew was not the one for tears, so in his name, we say farewell and salute!" Uncle Giuseppe said and raised the glass.

I watched my mother, she sat there with a black lace covering her face. She was wearing black clothes like she was truly grieving.

I looked at my uncle and Domenico in the corner, whispering to each other. I didn't understand at first how those people got on my plane. Seeing them like that, it hit me. One of the guys that attacked me was Giuseppe's guy.

" s**t! I knew it!" I said to Sergio and closed the laptop.

" What's wrong, sir?" he asked me.

" Giuseppe, he is working with Domenico. It explains why he gave him his own territory," I said to him.

It is ironic how my twin and my father's twin betrayed me. I don't know what made them do this, but I am not going to let them get away with it.

" So what's the plan?" he asked me.

" Domenico thinks that he can run the family. Let's see how he does without my contacts, starting with the cocaine,

Sergio, I want you to clean out the warehouses and hit all of their shipments, store them at my secret location, when you are done with that, tell the Columbians to halt their supply, just for a couple of weeks." I said to him.

" But sir, won't he just find another supplier?" he asked me.

" I am counting on him to do that," I said to him.

" I am sorry, sir, but I don't get it. Why don't we just go in and tell them what Domenico did?" he asked me.

" Because I know my brother, he won't stop coming after me, I have Chloe to think about. I want Domenico to see that he can't run things like I do. He needs to see that this doesn't work without me," I said to him.

" I see it now. Let me begin with the work," he said and got out of the car.

" Before you go, I need you to get something for me. It's a priority," I said to him.

" What do you need?" he asked me.

" I need a new cellphone, one that can't be tracked," I said to him.

" Okay, I can get it by tomorrow," he said to me.

" Try an hour. Like I said, it's a priority," I said to him.

" Okay, I'll see what I can do," He said to me.

" Get it done, Sergio," I said.

He opened the door, and I stopped him.

" There is something else I need you to do for me, I need information on Derrick Cartwright, a criminal lawyer in LA," I said to him.

" I'll get it done," he said to me.

" Good," I said to him.

I promised Chloe that I would protect her from Derrick, I need to know who he is and how he operates. This man has hurt the woman I care about, I am going to make sure that it never happens again.

I went back to the house and set up a romantic dinner for us, I am glad that the caretaker had managed to get everything I needed, including a lovely dress for Chloe.

I didn't know when she would come to the beach, but when I saw her in that dress, my heart skipped a beat for a little bit. I won't lie. Every part of me wants to ravish her, I long to have her in my arms, but I don't want to rush things.

She told me that she was pregnant, and she might not even want to have s*x with me, but if she does, I am up for the challenge, literally. I stood up and fixed my pants, I didn't want to scare her off.

She sat down and had dinner with me. Everything was going according to plan, that was until my mother called me. I excused myself and went to take the call.

" Mother, what's wrong?" I asked her.

" The detective was here, the one investigating your father's death," she said to me.

" What did he say? Did he find out what happened?" I asked her.

" Yes, he said that the report for the car is finally back; your father's car accident was not an accident; someone tampered with the computer box; they hacked the car remotely, that is why it lost control and fell off the bridge," she said to me.

I knew that my father's accident was no accident, which is why I insisted on the investigation. This was the answer I needed, someone did this on purpose, and the question is, who and why?

" Did he say who might have done this?" I asked her.

" No, he said that they are working on finding a suspect and making an arrest," she said to me.

" I want to be the first to know who did this," I said to her.

" He will tell us when it is done," she said to me.

" Alright, I'll talk to you later. Nice performance, by the way," I said to her.

" Yes, let me go back before they notice that I am gone," she said and hung up.

I hung up the phone and went back to the table, but I still had a lot of questions. Someone went through a lot of trouble to make it look like an accident. We are the Mafia. If it were our enemies, they wouldn't have done this.

Killing a mafia boss is a big deal, if an enemy does it, they will want to make it known that it was them, to earn more respect, also to begin a war and move into our territory.

My father has been gone for over a year. No one had tried to take over our territory. Now I have to wonder if we were all looking at the wrong places for answers. What if whoever killed my father was closer than we thought?

I could say that Domenico did this, but I know my brother; he is too much of a coward to pull something like that off; besides that, he knew that he wouldn't get anything should our father die; he had no reason to.

" Are you okay?" Chloe asked me as soon as I went back to the table.

" Yes, I am okay," I said to her.

" Damien, I can see that something is wrong. Talk to me," she said to me.

" It's about my father's accident. There has been a new development in the investigation, but it's nothing for you to worry about," I said to her.

" Okay, I spoke to Tessa. She is moving forward with the divorce," she said to me.

" That's good," I said with a smile.

" I thought about what you said; I am going to do it; I'll record a video and post it; I'll ask Tessa to speak to her friends; she will get it to the right people," she said to me.

" I'll take care of that. Make the video, I'll get it to a reporter friend of mine," I said to her.

" Damien, thank you for all of this. It's the first time in weeks that I actually feel safe like I don't have to be afraid of him anymore," she said to me.

" That's because I won't let him hurt you, that you can count on," I said to her.
