"We're leaving in thirty minutes, I want you ready before then," I say to my assistant.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN0ywtOFWk
"Yes, sir," she mumbles as I walk away.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWcBxJ7Ye
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy5V0TIJ2V
"Wait, before you go. I've had someone put what you'll be wearing on your bed for you."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVftr8VeF1
"What I'm wearing? Is there a dress code or something?" she asks.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm5o0nWDiR
"Kind of. Just wear the damn dress."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqffvU8qqI
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG4UqQrUZl
"Don't let it happen again," I say sternly.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fa6a9GIc9
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFRnWmOO6n
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdSJxdgP1R
"You think so?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomze5yNlix
She only smiles and nods. Then she takes my arm and loops hers through it.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaf9zx74XM
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGU1uc3SX
"Mother, please. I'm nothing like that man."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq7tO9iw9M
"Glad that you think so. You got only the good qualities of him."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPRtxeuJWQ
"What good did he ever do? All my life I've seen you both get into arguments."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybYUuzl9Dy
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g4nBBUJDA
"Ugh, I did not need to hear that."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hDViCsQG
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLmxfGKBp
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yzOZorOV
"Zarcone. What are you here for? Need a new plaything?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCFSlH4TI7
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NDUsCS20u
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8AV3IoihI
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfgTZu7ViT

"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWYV8yDQnb
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB6qPTvSB1
"Alright, oh look there's the Alfieri family let us go and say hello."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE8H3Bi8UE
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!"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMM2GfFHSm
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Uanketu0
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cdy5RzUfu
"Ah, don't be shy Elnora. Pardon my daughter Mr. Cacciatore. We don't take her out very much."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7y9qmb2de
"It's fine, I understand. Miss Elnora is it?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcgdWAG6qw
"Y-yes sir." she shyly responds as she comes from behind her mother and closer to me.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByrJB4U1Rq
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGNRfcVjfI
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42J2L1gE7B
