Simon made his way to the garage with Marcus behind him. They are going to buy a new car for him to use. He wanted to buy something flashy for himself today. After all the hardships that he experienced when was still with the Steele family, Simon thought that he deserve something fancy.“Are you sure you’re not going to change that?” For the third time, Marcus asked him. His friend even winced when he looked at his clothes again and then compared them to Marcus’ personal preference. Marcus was used to wearing an elegant Armani suit even on normal days. He always opted to look formal whatever the occasion is if there was even one. He’s been bugging him since the moment he saw what he wore, and Simon wanted to laugh at his reaction. Marcus was horrified.Simon looked down at his clothes. Nothing has changed with the way he dressed since he returned to the mansion. He still uses his shabby clothes, and Simon saw how Marcus disapproves of him. Simon just shrugged his shoulders and didn
“Oh, my God!” Simon heard one of the ladies shout in horror as guns were drawn out and anytime a shoot-out took place. Marcus had his gun pointed at those men who were now already pale. He’s not kidding when he said that he’s gonna shoot those people if they won’t release Simon. No one gets to mess with the heir of the Morelli Crime family. It is his duty to keep him safe even though he knew that Simon is very much capable of protecting himself. “Marcus, calm down, it’s okay. We don’t want to draw attention, right?” Simon said calmly. He looked Marcus straight in his eyes to tell him that it was going to be okay, that he doesn’t have to pull that kind of scene. Marcus hesitated for a minute. He glared at the guards as a warning but did what Simon told him to do. But the guards were still in their fighting stans. Simon was about to speak when the manager showed up with a horrified face. “Jesus! Drop your guns now! Oh, god, I am so sorry Mr. Morelli. This is all a misunderstanding!
Simon looked up at the huge building in front of him. The magnificent building stood a thousand meters from the ground. It was located at the heart of Manhattan where people talked only about money and luxury. A place of elegance and power.Sky Palace. A chain of condominium buildings owned by Morelli Real Estate. Yes. They owned this high-end condominium that only the wealthy could afford to pay for the very expensive price.“You ready?” Giov spoke at went beside Simon. They were in front of the building as Simon took the liberty to inspect the business that he has to manage soon. It was years ago since he last saw this building. Although he was just around New York City, he didn’t dare go near any of the businesses they own.Simon took a
Simon’s condo unit was not as luxurious as the penthouse, but it was decent since the condominium was high-end, a building intended only for the wealthiest families in the city. Simon inserted both of his hands inside his pocket as he stepped inside the threshold. The place was screaming wealth and power. He nodded in appreciation as he scanned the whole unit. The design is very minimal and masculine. He liked how the interior was painted in a combination of pale blue and gray, very pleasing to the eyes. “So, you will have your office here instead of going to the Morelli Tower?” Giov was looking at every piece of artwork that hung on the wall, checking if there was any bugging device that was hidden. It became his attitude to check the place before settling into it. In their line of work, they had to be very careful, especially now that they had a traitor on the loose inside the clan. Morelli Tower is a twenty-story building built by his father. It is the main office of Morelli I
It’s been a week since Simon moved to his new condo unit, and everything was running smoothly. All he did the whole week was to study all the past transactions in both Morelli Inc. and also in the activities involving the underworld. He needed a piece of strong evidence that there was some discrepancy going on in the records. He just had to find the culprit of it and let him pay.The Morelli crime family dominated the underworld for the sole reason that they feared how vast the connections they have. They practically have all eyes and ears in all departments of the government, and not only that but they were also affiliated with the mafia clans from other countries. Not to mention that most of the mafia bosses from other families trusted them the most than other families. There were five crime families in New York, and though they had created a separate body to enforce the law between themselves, the Morelli clan dominates almost all of them because they were much wealthier and more
Emiliano Morelli threw a party to welcome back his son, Salvatorre. The old man can’t stop talking about it and was so excited to announce to the world that Salvatorre will take over the company for he will soon retire from his position. It is not just Emiliano who’s excited, everyone in the business industry wanted to meet Salvatorre. Everyone was curious about what he looked like and what will be his contribution to the business sector. And of course, there were those who dig up his past and dirty secrets. Simon or Salvatorre, as his family calls him, didn’t want a grand party, but his father wouldn’t agree to it. They fell into a brief argument and Simon he would not win against his father. This leaves Simon no choice but to agree with his father. On one condition, it must be a masquerade party. Those who will be invited will have to wear a mask, and Simon will be able to hide his face from the public. He has no pictures uploaded on the internet since his mother was so adamant a
As Simon scanned the crowd before him, looking for some suspicious-looking person. His eyes stopped at the woman who was standing. Or the proper to describe the woman was that she’s hiding from the shadows. She may be trying her best to hide, but she got Simon’s attention, simply because she looked so regal and beautiful in that black dress. From the looks of it, it’s not an expensive dress like what most of the women at the party wore. Simon had an eye for expensive and cheap things. That only means that she’s not invited to the party. A gate crasher. Simon ended his speech with a smile, and the crowd applauded. The moment he exited the stage, he was greeted by several businessmen who wants to get to know him. They swarmed him like he was a sweet candy and they are the ants who wanted to have a taste of him. “Congratulations, Mr. Morelli. Your father must be so proud of you!” An old man approached Simon and offered his hand for a shake. He took off his mask, revealing his wrinkl
Addie was about to utter a word when suddenly the lights of the whole mansion went off. Panic shot through her as she can't see even a single thing. "Great! What the hell happened? Why did the lights go off?" That was her initial reaction. She can't be alone in the dark with this strange man with an Italian accent, it reminds her of those sexy Italian mobster movies she used to watch with her asshole ex-boyfriend. Whispers of panic can be heard as the visitors tried to grab out in the dark. “Cazzo!”Addie heard the man curse in hard Italian. She recognized the word since it’s a famous cuss word. Salvatorre Morelli is from a long lineage of wealthy Italian businessmen, so it's not a surprise his men were also Italians. She was instantly on her feet and tried to pull the hand that the stranger was holding. “What’s going on?” She asked the man again, absentmindedly. There was definitely wrong with these people. She can’t see a single thing, and in a mansion owned by one of the wea
