The next morning, Caspian awoke with tired eyes. He had barely slept, waiting for morning to come so he could get on his vengeance scheme.
It was his first day as the Baron of the DiMarco gang and he could feel the weight of the day bearing down upon him. He hit a buzzer beside his bed and in the respite that followed, a gentle knock resonated through the room. Caspian wondered if Andress was waiting for the buzzer as he walked towards the door. He was amazed to see him dressed up already. "Good morning, baron," Andreas greeted, his steady voice breaking the silence. "It's time for your medical checkup." Caspian contemplated for a moment, his mind already racing with thoughts of revenge. He believed that this checkup was an unnecessary delay, an obstacle to his desires. However, Andreas insisted, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Caspian's well-being before he embarked on his dangerous path. Just as Caspian was about to voice his objections, another figure appeared by Andreas' side. It was Monica Lewinsky, the doctor who treated his wounds when he was first introduced to the household. She spoke up softly, her voice laced with an undercurrent of urgency. "I need to check you, Baron," Monica explained, her eyes fixed upon his. "I need to know if you're physically prepared to step out and face the challenges that lie ahead." Intrigued, Caspian allowed Monica in and then locked the door. He then went up to a chair beside the bed and sat. He watched as Monica attached the checkup devices to his arm. He watched her with curiosity, his mind wandering to the reasons why she was so trusted in this delicate matter. As Monica went about her medical examination, Caspian found himself captivated by her presence. He couldn't help but notice her beauty, the way her hands moved gracefully, and the soothing tone in her voice as she explained each step of the process. Curiosity finally got the better of him, and Caspian decided to break the silence. "Doctor Monica Lewinsky, may I ask you a question?" he inquired, his voice laced with genuine interest. "Of course, Baron," Monica replied. "What ties do you have with DiMarco? You were there when I was brought in, you are here still. Why are you so invested in helping me on this perilous journey?" he asked. "I am doing my job," she answered as she recorded her observations. "DiMarco is a mafia household," Caspian began. "You being the family doctor exposes you to certain danger. Do you know this?" "I know," Monica answered. "Still, you chose to stay?" he asked and there was silence. "There is something you're not telling me. For your sake, I'll have to stop you from coming." After a while, Monica began as she packed her devices into the box. "My father was the GrandBaron's right-hand man," she revealed, her voice tinged with sadness. "But he was ruthlessly killed by the Ottoman Tigers, a rival mafia household." Caspian listened intently, sympathy building within him. Monica's words struck a chord and he could see what Andreas meant when he said that the DiMarco household was far behind in the league. "And that's not all," Monica continued, her voice resolute. "They have my brother under their grasp, using him as leverage against me. I know firsthand the ruthlessness and magnitude of what we're up against, but I can't bear to see my brother suffer any longer." Caspian's eyes met Monica's and he saw the tears welling up in her eyes. "I know there are pressing matters, but I hope my brother will be freed in time," she said and finally, the tears rolled down her cheek. "I promise you, Monica, that we shall free your brother and avenge your father together," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of his convictions. "There are no pressing matters. All are of importance." "Thank you, Baron," she said and left the room. *** Caspian DiMarco stood tall and confident in his sleek suit as he entered the office of the Baron for the first time. He could feel an aura of power emanating from the room, a testament to the long history of the household. The air was filled with the scent of aged books and journals, carrying with them the weight of the aristocratic lineage that Caspian now bore. His eyes scanned the room, filled with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and understanding. As his gaze fell upon the countless shelves, he yearned to immerse himself in the wealth of information contained within those pages. But his heart was burdened with urgency, a burning desire to be reunited with his daughter as soon as possible. Without hesitation, Caspian pressed the buzzer on his desk. Within three seconds, the door swung open, and in walked Andreas. "Baron," Andreas greeted. Caspian's voice betrayed the urgency within him as he spoke, "We need to go to Wallows Square immediately, Andreas. I have to retrieve my daughter." "Yes, Baron. There are other pressing matters on the ground. The Ottoman Tigers, having received your broadcast, are now demanding a ransom for Monica's older brother. Additionally, one of our outposts has received threats of an impending attack from the Yaaz Canopy. Furthermore, Riqui and Raquel have provided some updates on the household's finances. It seems we have a complex situation to handle." Caspian's brow furrowed, his mind racing to find a solution. He understood the gravity of the threats but was firm in his resolve to reunite with his daughter. "You're right, Andreas," he conceded, "but I refuse to keep my daughter away, just as I was kept away for so long. We must retrieve her first, and once she is safely under my protection, we can deal with our enemies." "Yes, Baron," Andreas said and turned to walk out. "Andreas," Caspian called. "We need to prepare. I suggest assembling a team of ten highly capable goons, armed to the teeth. I need to ensure the path is clear for my daughter's arrival." "Yes, baron," Andreas replied. Caspian understood that this mission could be perilous, but the love for his daughter burned fiercely within him, overshadowing any fear. He knew that every step he took would be crucial in securing her safety. "As I have said, we will deal in wisdom, and we will only fight hostile appearances," Caspian began. "Albert and Don Razor are allies. But Don Albert is one who knows a better deal when he sees one. Get him to sign the outpost contract, and make the buyout clause too much for him. I want him under my feet.* "Yes, Baron," Andreas answered as he stepped out with Riqui and Raquel.Inside the lavish Albert mansion, Andreas, Riqui, and Raquel followed the grand marble staircase, their footsteps echoing through the opulent hallway.They were led by a butler to a set of intricately carved double doors, which swung open to reveal a spacious office adorned with antique furniture and rich tapestries.As they entered, Andreas stepped forward confidently, his voice resonating with authority. "Greetings, Don Albert," he said, extending his hand. "I am Andreas, the trusted mouth of the Baron of the DiMarco Empire. Allow me to introduce my companions - Riqui and Raquel, official heads of the household."Don Albert furrowed his brow and greeted them with a slight nod. He surely had heard about the DiMarco empire as a force to reckon with and with the chance coming to him, it was hard to say no. "Welcome," he responded, motioning for them to take a seat in the plush armchairs under the palm tree, all positioned before his large mahogany desk. "I have heard of the DiMarco Em
Caspian sat in the back of the van, holding his daughter close to him. Sonya sat on his lap as he checked her over, feeling a flood of emotions wash over him. He couldn't believe that she was finally back in his arms after all this time.Earlier, he saw his daughter being stolen, then at gunpoint with her life threatened and he knew what it meant to have something stripped from a man. But now, in his hands, he knew what it meant to have power.As they drove out of Wallows Square to Burry, and then towards the DiMarco Empire in Burry, Caspian couldn't help but feel nervous.He had questions within and without. He had doubts and he wanted answers. Would his daughter remember him or know who he was? Would she even want to be with him? Will hebe able to keep her as his daughter and would he be able to be a father unto her?He took a deep breath, trying to push aside his doubts and fears.Finally, they arrived at the mansion and Caspian got out of the van, holding his daughter by the ha
Caspian slept peacefully all through the night with his daughter nestled comfortably on his chest. Even in the middle of the night, when Sonya needed to use the bathroom, Caspian roused himself from his slumber to assist her. He checked on her, making sure she was safe and content before returning to bed. Still, he could tell that he had a night. She was the first thing he checked when he awoke in the morning. The feeling of having his daughter next to him was a fulfillment he knew he might never achieve without the help of the DiMarco empire and he was determined to pay it back. The sun had risen by the time Caspian finished his bath and made his way to the dining area where Sonya was already seated, her face lighting up as she caught sight of her father. “Good morning, sweetheart,” he said and the little girl replied with a grin. As they enjoyed their meal together, Andreas Motta entered the room and bowed respectfully. "Andreas," Caspian greeted him with a warm smile.
“We should sit,” Caspian turned and walked down the hallway where there was a setting of chairs and tables. As he went, he reviewed her face and realized that even her teeth were golden, no wonder she was so obsessed with having more gold.Caspian drew a chair for her and she sat.“A mafia boss, and a gentleman, I see,” she said and Caspian smiled as he walked to the other end of the chair and sat before her.Duchess Dillion leaned back in her chair, her eyes fixed on Caspian. The room was filled with an air of uncertainty as he grappled with his doubts. Finally, unable to ignore them any longer, he gathered himself and broke the silence."Duchess Dillon, I must admit, I have my doubts about this Tomb of Gold," Caspian said, his voice filled with hesitancy.“Baron, doubts are only natural. But trust me when I say that the tomb of Gold is real, and it holds untold riches,” Duchess Dillion answered.Caspian's face remained unconvinced. "But how did you even come to know about it? It a
When Monica came in, she lowered her head and muttered, “Baron, you called for me.”“Yes, I did,” Caspian said and stood from where he stood and walked close to her. Then he checked the door to be sure that no one was there to listen and he returned to the table, sat on it and then turned to face Monica. “I want to talk to you about something.”“What is that, Baron?” Monica asked.“About this household. With the time that you have spent here, what can you say about the safety and danger that comes with it?” Caspian asked.Monica hesitated for a moment before responding, "I've seen things in that household, things you wouldn't believe. The power and control they have, it's terrifying. But at the same time, there's a sense of loyalty and family that runs deep within them. It's a twisted world, and this is all that comes with it but it's all they've ever known."Caspian nodded, a pensive expression on his face. "I know it can be hard at times and this is why I some troubles lately lettin
The atmosphere in the upper storey of De Suiz night club was thick with smoke and the faint scent of illicit deals being made. People in suits with dark sunglasses sat around tables, glasses of whiskey in hand, talking in hushed tones. The dimly lit room was filled with a sense of danger and intrigue.As Don Albert, Don Razor, and Layla entered, they were immediately struck by the sight before them. A tall imposing man reeking of alcohol. “Why are you here?” he asked.“We have an appointment with Alpha,” Don Albert answered.“Follow me,” the man said and led them to the inner chambers. Alpha, the leader of the Suiz mafia gang, sat on a large leather chair, flanked by two scantily clad women who quickly disappeared at his command. He had an air of power and authority about him, his gaze sharp as he looked at the newcomers.“So why are you here?” Alpha asked.“We want to trample on the DiMarco household,” Don Albert answered.“DiMarco you say,” Alpha exclaimed and then chucked. “Do you
Based on the call that Andreas received from Ivan about the 500 million dollar worth of drugs that was to be moved, Caspian together with his envoy, a mix of Andreas; to captain the army, Rique and Raquel to consider the business ideology of the deal as well as some armed members of the gang. At the south-west of Burry, Caspian strode into Ivan's outpost, his entourage following closely behind. The outpost was bustling with activity, as members of the Dimarco empire went about their business. Ivan rushed out to greet Caspian, bowing his head in respect before rising to his full height as the baron approached."Baron, it's an honor to have you here at my outpost. I am Ivan, leader of the south-west outpost of the DiMarco empire. I didn’t know that it would be this soon," Ivan said with a smile.Caspian nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze sweeping over the outpost. He looked around as he nodded to acknowledge Ivan’s introduction, at the mobs who stood with their heads bowed, at the car
Caspian's phone rang loudly in the car as they were making their way back to the empire. He quickly answered it, his brow furrowed in concern as he listened to the voice on the other end of the line. "Home, now!" Caspian commanded Andreas, his trusted right-hand man and advisor. "What happened, Baron?" Andreas asked, worry evident in his voice. "My daughter, Sonya, just called. She said her mother was sighted in the gate," Caspian replied, a mixture of emotions swirling in his chest. Layla, his ex-wife who had caused him so much pain and heartache, was back in his house and not just back, Sonya could see her.As they drove back to the empire, Caspian's mind raced with questions. Why would Layla show up now, after everything she had done? He suspected that it might be a plot orchestrated by her father, Don Albert, to get to him and the DiMarco Empire. But Caspian was determined not to let her disrupt his life again. When they reached the gate, Caspian's heart skipped and anger sur
