However, instead of Mario taking her handshake, he said aloud, "Oh Lord, Electra!" Electra who had been observing the scene gave Mario a bored smile and looked at her boss. Damon sighed... Another trouble.What the hell is Mario doing here? Mario recognizes Electra... Then he'll definitely recognize his boss. Damon knows immediately that his identity is at stake, just one greeting tradition in the Mafia would ruin everything because Mario can not see the boss and not do the traditional greeting. ‘Fuck!’ Damon cussed internally, he wanted to cancel that silly tradition. How the hell did he forget? "Hey, Mario. Long time, what's up with you?" Electra said with a half smile.The surprised Mario went closer to her and gave her a playful punch, "I've been good, you just vanished like that. Since you're here, I'm sure the boss must be around, where the hell has he been, I've been trying to get through to him." Mario asked and Electra swallowed hard. This wasn't such a good place to me
"Damon, are you already scared of meeting my friend?" Victor asked and Damon sighed. ‘Victor is indeed stupid.’ The inner voice in his head concluded. He decided to do what he didn't want to do, there wasn't much of a choice anyway... With that resolution in mind, he turned around to face Mario, it looked like his game might end there because his secret identity would be exposed. Mario's eyes widened as he saw his boss looking at him blankly, he was lost in so much daze staring deep into his eyes. How was this possible? Mario immediately lowered his eyes, it was like a sin to look into the Don's eyes, despite Damon having no regard for the rule, it was a rule most couldn't disregard. Athena didn't know what to do as she saw the scene in front of her, it was like her brain had stopped functioning at that moment. In a matter of seconds, Mario would definitely say and do the traditional greetings and that would ruin the whole plan. "Bo..." "Oh God!!!" Athena screamed and interru
"You think I'm joking huh?" He asked angrily. "No, I don't think you're joking, I just think you lack the sense to think I'll be afraid of him or anyone you'll bring. Go fuck yourself, Victor." Damon said and was about to move away when Victor blocked his way. "And where did you think you're going, you fool?" Victor asked and Damon cocked his brow. "Move away from him, Victor or the consequences will be dire." A deep male voice ordered and due to chills and familiarity of the voice, he looked around and saw Mario's burning eyes. There was nothing but pure shock on Victor's face. Did he hear him wrong or was he just imagining things? The look Mario was giving him was enough to end someone's life, maybe, just maybe, he wasn't giving him the looks, maybe he was giving the looks to Damon. Victor turned around to face Damon again but the man was looking expressionless as usual, he looked at Athena and she wore that silly smirk of hers that he'd grown to hate. "You didn't hear me, di
Damon smirk faded and his dark eyes looked deep into Celena's light blues, "I'm not after you, Celena Victor, if I am to be after you, you'll not be here right now. So stop playing the victim card here because you and I know very well who the victim of this game is." He said, giving her looks that seemed to penetrate her soul. Seeing the dark looks Damon was giving her, she took a few steps backward. How did her life get jinxed with a man as demonic and evil as Damon and how would she get rid of him? She knew Damon would destroy her if she didn't destroy him soon. "What's going on? Hello, Mr. Mario, are you experiencing any discomfort here?" Mr. Carney asked, smiling broadly at Mario whose eyes seemed to want to burn Victor down. "Dad, your son-in-law is the only problem here, can you believe that he disobeyed you?!" Athena said dramatically and Damon wished to sit and enjoy the drama but could not.Mr. Carney looked at his two sons-in-law and asked, "What are you talking about Ath
Athena sighed, looked at Damon who only gave her a blank stare, and then looked at Victor who smiled at her. She sighed again and began to move towards the stage saying, "I think I have an announcement to make. It's high time I put an end to all this." "Athena! What's wrong with you?" Abigail asked, drawing her back."What do you mean, I just want to make an announcement, is it bad?" She questioned, her eyes boring into Abigail's own. "Don't tell me you allowed whatever shit this stupid man said to get into your head. Damon might be just a commoner but you'll never find a better man than him, Celena made the mistake once and I know deep down that he's regretting everything right now, you should not make that same mistake too, sweet love." Abigail advised and Celena who'd been quiet the whole time flared up. "What the hell are you talking about, what made you think I'll regret divorcing trash like him? I would never and shall never regret it, I don't care what any of you think but D
"What are you saying, Mario... We've come too far for this. You can't allow him..." He said pointing to Damon who was looking at him with zero amusement," You can't allow him to separate us. You can't allow him to create a feud between us, we just can't allow this, Mario, we've been through tough times together." Victor said, his voice low and pleading."We've been through tough times, Victor, and I'm not disputing that fact but you should know that some relationships run deeper than anything and when it comes to Mr. Damon here, there's nothing that would ever make me go against him, nothing at all, not even you, Victor, not even you." He maintained, his voice cold as his eyes. "I can't believe you are doing this to our friend...""Just shut up, shut your trap. Just do what you need to do and stop wasting our time. You went into this bet with your whole senses and now that you have lost the bet, you're unwilling to take punishment, you won't escape this one Victor, we won't allow it
All eyes turned to Athena and then Victor whose eyes were on the verge of dropping on the floor. How's he so damned?! "And I mean every word I've said, I have nothing to lose in any way, you guys never valued me, I can always sell my idea to other empires and I'm pretty sure they are more than willing to buy." She added, staring at her father whose back was turned to her. Mr. Carney turned to look at her daughter in awe, it was like Athena had just said something abominable. Something that was despicable and should not be heard but he heard it and hence turned to make sure he heard it right. Maybe he misheard everything because this isn't possible, how dare she say such words. "What are you saying, Athena?" Her father asked coldly, his eyes filled with anger."You heard me right, Dad. You're supporting what's wrong, you all are supporting what's wrong. Had it been my husband, you all would raise hell but because Victor is rich and powerful, you want me to keep quiet and watch him g
"YOU SHALL DO IT SON OR YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER WILL BE THE NEW HEIR." A loud voice said boldly and Victor's body shook. He knew that he'd been defeated because he recognized the male voice that had penetrated the crowd. All eyes followed the voice except for Damon who smiled and looked for a seat to relax and enjoy the new entrance. There's no escape route for Victor now. He wanted to laugh like a maniac but he didn't, he just crossed his legs, took a glass of wine, relaxed his back on the seat, and was ready to watch the final episode of the night's drama. "Mr. Mario, it's a pleasure to have you here, it's been a long time since we saw each other." Mr. Danien, Victor's father said with a wide smile as he brought forth his hand towards Mario for a handshake. Mario took the hand and shook it, then smiled... Damon watched the sinister smile Mario was giving Mr. Damien. People might consider the smile to be genuine but Damon knew there was nothing genuine about that crook smile. "It's
