The Rise of Caspian DiMarco - Misery to Mastery. Chapter 38
Caspian stood on the porch, the cool night air swirling around him as he mulled over the decision that lay before him. It was the first day of his wedding with Duchess Dillion and he was feeling the heat already. He was faced with the need to decide where he'll place the Duchess particularly with the tantrum that she had thrown to Monica and his daughter. He paced back and forth, the weight of his role as leader of the DiMarco household pressing down on him heavily. He knew that his loyalty to his family and duty as a mafia boss were at odds with the feeling that Duchess Dillion had for him, even though he hadn't been able to figure it out. As he pondered his next move, Andreas, his most trusted advisor, approached him with a respectful bow. "Baron," Andreas began, addressing Caspian by his title. "What troubles you?" Caspian sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I am torn, Andreas," he admitted, his voice heavy with uncertainty. "I do not know if I can

Caspian sat in the dining room. It was Monday, the second day of his marriage to Duchess Dillion, a woman he had been forced to care for in a short amount of time. It was also the first day of the week and there was more to handle. As he sipped his wine, lost in thought, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of soft footsteps. Looking up, he saw his daughter, Sonya, standing in the doorway of her room. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of her, her long dark hair falling in waves around her delicate face. She looked so small and vulnerable in the dim light, and he felt a surge of protectiveness towards her. "Sonya, what are you doing up so late? You should be sleeping now." Caspian asked, reaching out to pick her up and settle her on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest. "I couldn't sleep, Papa," she whispered, her voice barely more than a breath. Caspian felt a pang of guilt at the thought of his daughter lying awake in her bed, no

Ali Ya'az stood on the deck of his favorite ship and smoke cigarette as he looked far and near the waters that surrounded him.The salty sea breeze tousled his hair as he listened to the reports coming in over the phone, through mails and calls.The first call was from one of his men, who informed him of Captain Rodrigo Duterte's lucrative sea deals that could have been potential opportunities for The Ya'az Canopy. Ali's brow furrowed in anger as he listened, his grip on the phone tightening."What do you mean Captain Duterte is making deals worth millions of dollars that could have been ours?" Ali seethed, his voice laced with frustration."I'm sorry, sir. It seems that someone has been supplying Captain Duterte with information about our potential deals," the man on the other end of the line explained nervously."Are you here reporting him or you want to know what to do about your being lacky?" Ali asked."No Baron, I thought I fucked up and you should know," he said.Ali's eyes nar

Caspian sat at his desk, a deep furrow in his brow as he listened to Andreas, Rique, and Raquel discussing the delay of the Tomb of Gold plan with Duchess Dillion.They all knew that the plan hinged on her cooperation, but something was holding her back.Andreas, always the most outspoken of the group, leaned forward and asked, "Baron, is there something you're not telling us? Why hasn't your wife followed through with the plan? Is there some kind of obstacle we're not aware of?"Caspian sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. "You have to understand, I didn't make the call on this one. The delay is due to two households and two rival gangs being involved. It's a delicate situation, and the Duchess is waiting for the right moment to make her move."Rique shifted uncomfortably in his seat, glancing at Raquel who was frowning thoughtfully. "But what can we do to help, Baron? We're ready to take action, but we need to know what the hold-up is."Caspian hesitated for a moment before

Caspian watched as his daughter, Sonya, and Duchess Dillion sat at the dining table, the air tense with unspoken tension between the two. It was the first time that they would gather and eat but still, he knew that there were unsettled issues among them all, mostly the one between himself and the Duchess. Sonya, with her inquisitive nature, was firing questions at Duchess Dillion about the strange dishes laid out before them. The Duchess, in turn, was answering her with a polite smile, trying to navigate the tricky waters of their new relationship. Caspian noticed the unwillingness to answer in the Duchess and she finally confirmed it as she tried to change the topic. "Why don't you call me Mommy, Sonya?" Duchess Dillion asked gently, her eyes meeting the young girl's. Sonya paused, her fork suspended in mid-air. She looked up at the Duchess, her eyes searching for something, perhaps a hint of warmth or familiarity. "I...I don't know," she finally mumbled, looking down at her p

Sanchez walked into the lavish office of Andreas, the head of the DiMarco Empire. He could feel the tension in the air as he approached the desk where Andreas was seated. Andreas looked up at Sanchez with a cold expression on his face. "You're back so soon, Sanchez. I hope you have good news for me." Sanchez took a deep breath before speaking. "I'm sorry, Supo. But I an issue to announce.""What is that?" Andreas asked.'The deal was hijacked by men in masks. I tried to fight them off, but they were too many. I don't know where they came from or who they were working for." Andreas's eyes widened in shock. "Hijacked? How could this happen?" he demanded."I don't know, Supo. It was unexpected and I wasn't prepared. I am sorry," Sanchez pleaded."No," Andreas said and stood from where he sat. "This is wrong. This has never happened and it is strange.""My thoughts exactly, Supo...""Shush!" Andreas commanded. "Your thoughts? Do you know how much the deal is worth? Do you know what th

In the DiMarco Empire, Caspian stood in his office, with four figures huddled around a table covered in maps and scrolls. Caspian sat at the head of the table with an intense look in his eyes. Andreas, his loyal second in command, stood by his side, ready to assist in any way necessary. Rique and Raquel, two of the captains of the DiMarco, sat across from them, their faces grim with concern. "Sanchez, tell us what happened on Trent street," Caspian demanded, his voice cold and authoritative. Sanchez, a grizzled man with a scar running down his cheek, cleared his throat before speaking. "I was making a delivery on Trent street when I was ambushed by a group of masked men. They stole the box I was carrying and left me for dead." Caspian's jaw clenched at the news. "This is the first time we would experience a doublecross in the history of DiMarco empire. Isn't it, Andreas?" "Yes, Baron, Andreas answered. "And do you have any idea who these men were, Sanchez?" Sanchez shook hi

The dimly lit alleyway was a hive of activity, with shadowy figures slinking in and out of sight like ghosts. Caspian, clad in a worn leather jacket and jeans with mackintosh boots, moved with calculated precision, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. It was a risky move to go undercover in this dangerous territory, but he knew that in order to dismantle the black market operation that was funding corrupt politicians, he had to get his hands dirty. Infiltrating the seedy underworld had always been a part of Caspian's job as an undercover agent, but this mission felt different. The stakes were higher, the criminals more elusive, and the corruption ran deeper than he had ever imagined. His heart raced as he made his way through the crowd, blending in seamlessly with the unsavory characters that populated the alleyway. As he navigated through the maze of narrow passageways and hidden entrances, Caspian's sharp eyes caught glimpses of illicit activities taking place in

Caspian sat at his desk, surrounded by a mound of documents and evidence that painted a grim picture of betrayal among a group of politicians known to be looters. The public had criticized them and they had managed to take out all that pointed fingers at them. The locked people in cells, killed those acted against their wills and also came out publicly to announce that perpetrations will be punished. As he sifted through the papers, a feeling of unease washed over him, the weight of the deception heavy on his shoulders. "We trusted each other," one of the politicians, a man named Senator Thompson, said with a mixture of anger and regret. "How could they do this to us?" Caspian looked up at Thompson, his eyes sharp with determination. "There's more to this than meets the eye, Senator. We need to dig deeper." Thompson nodded, his jaw clenched in frustration. "I never thought I'd see the day when my own colleagues would stab me in the back." As Caspian delved into the intricate

The scent of old books and faint traces of cigar smoke filled Caspian's office as he sorted through his latest case file that the governor gave him. The details were sparse - nothing but a missing heirloom, a valuable necklace with sentimental value. A wealthy family, the Hawthornes, had reached out to him in a desperate attempt to seek help in recovering their precious family heirloom. Caspian couldn't ignore the pang of empathy that tugged at his heartstrings as he read through the account of the distraught matriarch, Mrs. Hawthorne.

The dusty road that laid ahead stretched out before them, the wheels of their vehicle kicking up clouds of swirling sand in their wake. Caspian leaned back in his seat, the weight of their recent discovery weighing heavily on his mind. "So, finally, there we were," Caspian began in a voice low and intense. "At the Tomb of Gold, surrounded by ancient ruins and the lingering whispers of a forgotten civilization." Rodrigo's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on Caspian as he recounted the events that had unfolded at the mysterious site. The air around them seemed to crackle with tension, a palpable sense of foreboding settling over the two men.
