"We're leaving in thirty minutes, I want you ready before then," I say to my assistant.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QFFXNrY4j
"Yes, sir," she mumbles as I walk away.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLMds62blX
I hate going to these damn auctions. It's nothing but a way to show off what the host has and to form alliances. But I have to make an appearance for the sake of this fake alliance. Won't be long until I wipe out his entire mafia down.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ3raMLHFi
"Wait, before you go. I've had someone put what you'll be wearing on your bed for you."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgxZyq82YM
"What I'm wearing? Is there a dress code or something?" she asks.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ZXNHzhUh
"Kind of. Just wear the damn dress."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzGuzrbBXy
"Alright, whatever," she says rolling her eyes at me as I go up the stairs.
I give her a cold stare and she immediately apologizes.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz20leCO7Fu
"Don't let it happen again," I say sternly.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMDuj92cKd
She quickly nods and walks away. I sigh in frustration and rub my temples. I swear to God I hope the new one I get will be more obedient. I've just about had it with her, to be honest, I only keep her around cause she has a pretty figure.
When I get to my room I blankly look at the red suit laying on my bed. It came with a black dress shirt, Rolex, and shoes. I sigh and pull off my shirt. I take the dress shirt, put it on, and then put on everything else. I was ready in about ten minutes so I had a little more time to kill. I walk back downstairs and I see my mother in a black floor-length dress emerging from the other room.
"You look, beautiful mother," I say smiling as I kiss her cheek.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnm89WaVM
"Thank you, Rey, you look lovely as well. The woman you find today will love you in this suit. That is if you end up bringing one home."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxGWilC48D
"You think so?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIqcKBWpaj
She only smiles and nods. Then she takes my arm and loops hers through it.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqIVnSEFty
"Just a little advice my darling son. You might be the leader of this mafia but I'm still your mother and I raised you well. Please don't play around with whoever you get. She isn't like your little assistant Camille. Unlike her, I'm betting that these girls have an actual brain and not just a body. And I'm sure they aren't pleased about any of this, so try to make her feel as happy as possible. Don't be like your father."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcuo9ncrUn
"Mother, please. I'm nothing like that man."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWvU7n6Z9t
"Glad that you think so. You got only the good qualities of him."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNeWykYegl
"What good did he ever do? All my life I've seen you both get into arguments."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurh26cNpUs
"You just happened to see those. But trust me. Your father was a good man before he died. When I first met him, he was very shy. I always made the first move. He was lucky I was a bold woman." she grins as she reminisces.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3W5wF8kWt
"Ugh, I did not need to hear that."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniiszm1Gp2
"Too late," she laughs. "Alright let's get to this auction and find yourself a wife, the faster we get there, the faster you two meet, the faster I get my grandbabies."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJQ0An5zo
"Wait what?"
She laughs even more as we walk together to the car waiting for us outside. The driver opens the door for us and I let my mother go inside first before I enter. Camille was already waiting inside. "Take us to the auction please," I say to the driver.
When we made our way inside. Camille clung to me like a sloth to a tree. My mother quickly found Vincenzo's wife near the first few rows and got into a deep conversation with her. I dismissed Camille before I find Vincenzo soon enough and make my way to him.
"Cacciatore." He greets.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4yCi5H52L
"Zarcone. What are you here for? Need a new plaything?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJB5hmVde
"Non farmi ridere Cacciatore. I love my wife more than anything in the world. Wish I could say the same for you, but last time I checked. You don't have one. You play with women and use them quicker than tissue."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F6cnFFAdu
"I'll admit that I've been a little devil, breaking hearts and all, but I plan on finding a wife soon. Today, in fact. That's why I'm here."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j6VHVhQt9
"Well, well, I wish you luck. Excuse me," he replies as he turns around and goes down the walkway towards his wife.
I watch him as he leans toward her, whispering. My eyes narrow as I see the smile on her face disappear. She says something to my mother and then quickly comes up the walkway, nearly bumping into me, and goes outside into the hallway.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRkHbiOhPQ

"My dear, come. Let's go find some good seats I'd like to take a good look at the women when they come on stage." says my mom as she comes up to me.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwav7s3ObSb
My mother takes my hand and she takes me along down to the front rows. She places her purse in one chair and drapes her shawl across the one beside to save our seats.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxgBFT9jKm
"Alright, oh look there's the Alfieri family let us go and say hello."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8PSyZZOhL
She drags me along with her, near the entrance where they have just arrived.
"Come stai Sonia! It feels like I haven't seen you in forever!"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4F2CQ6z6C
"You know how it is, the men don't let us out of the house," she laughs lightly before she returns my mother's embrace.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBvDSxV8kO
They continue to talk but I zone them out. I'm currently fixated on the younger woman behind Sonia. I move my head slightly to the side to get a better look at her and our eyes meet for just a second before her cheeks turn into a light pink and she bows her head.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHtf81m2AO
"Ah, don't be shy Elnora. Pardon my daughter Mr. Cacciatore. We don't take her out very much."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f2FKvcTBI
"It's fine, I understand. Miss Elnora is it?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9m4QGY2VP
"Y-yes sir." she shyly responds as she comes from behind her mother and closer to me.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRb1rZOAZT
"Pleasure to meet you," I reply as I take her hand and kiss the top of it gently as I continue to look her in the eyes.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDcKRb4Djz
She looks fairly young and was quite pale but what excited me was her faint freckles that danced along her face, neck, and shoulders. Made me wonder how far they went.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHSnEB5N7c
