The Scourge of Angelo Bruno "The Gentle Don"

Chapter 8: The Boss is Here!

Don Romero being the biggest Mafia boss in all of Sicily wouldn't have a mere wedding particularly as he intends to demonstrate his powers over the powerless.

The wedding was held on his private island in Sicily with an invitation to the biggest names in the country including the President of Italy, Carlos Navarro. Sicily was bustling with the movement of people to various locations where they were forced by the Don's local gangsters to watch the wedding on screens. A subtle reminder that they were poor and powerless and Don Romero owned Sicily and everyone in it.

"Today ought to be a great day for us but now it's a day of terror and humiliation," Baron cried to his wife, Stella, as they got ready for the event that morning.

Stella took a deep breath as she helped her husband with his tie, and she responded to him,

"We are lucky to still be alive right now. For everything we did to Angelo, he should have our heads by now."

"But that's the problem, we don't know what he is planning for us. They don't call him THE GENTLE DON for nothing."

"Relax honey, let's take it one moment at a time. He just wants his wife and his sister back, after that, we will see what happens next." Stella's confidence in their survival was anchored on the plan that she would beg her daughter for forgiveness after all was done. After all, she was her mother and she only wanted the best for her daughter. If Angelo loved her daughter that much, then Trisha could appeal for her family.

While they were at it, one of Angelo's security guys stationed at the Rodriguez residence came into them.

"The boss is here. It's time, let's go."

He led the Rodriguezs out of their mansion to Angelo in the compound. Coming out they were met with Angelo's convoy of luxury cars, all one-kind only edition. Baron sighed deeply holding his wife's hand as they were led towards Angelo's car.

"You know, stepping my feet on this property brought back mixed memories to me. Here I enjoyed the comfort of my wife. I loved her. I woke up to this environment and the sun rising on this property every day." The flashes of good times made Angelo smile as he spoke to the Rodriguezs. 

But his mood changed as he continued further, stating the horrific memories of this same place.

"I endured all the tortures and torments from you two vicious fucks and your sons every day. You threatened me here that morning but I didn't think for once that you could go the length you did on me. On this same—"

Stella quickly interrupted him, almost going down on her knees to beg for his forgiveness,

"Angelo, son. Please—"

Before she could make her statement, Brandon had drawn close to her with fierce looks like he wanted to swallow her up, and the men around cocked their guns pointed towards her and her husband. Fingers to triggers waiting for orders from Angelo to shoot.

"Do not dare interrupt me again. What's stopping me from having you shot and killed right now right here just as you did to my only friend, Cortez?" 

Angelo walked closer to them, a foot apart, and stared them in the eyes but they turned their heads down fearing to look him in the eyes.

"Good. You see the dust you're looking at, should anything happen to my sister or my wife, I'll make sure your bodies are grounded to powder and poured on this same ground." 

Angelo raised his voice in anger and anguish as he spit out the following statement,

"This fucking ground where you gave my wife and my sister to an evil man and had me beaten almost to death, because you thought yourself powerful." 

Angelo couldn't help but get emotional at the thoughts of all he went through at the hands of the man and woman standing right in front of him now. And even more painful was what his innocent baby sister and his beloved wife were enduring at the hands of Don Romero. The anger boiling from within him could be felt by everyone around as the atmosphere became tense, the Rodriguezs were down on their knees already begging for forgiveness at his feet.

"It's alright, Master. We'll get them and make sure everyone involved pays dearly for how they treated you." Brandon touched Angelo’s shoulder and his words gave him some levels of relief enough to get back to character.

"Well, for all our sakes, you better make this plan work." Angelo, having regained himself said to them gently as he got into his car.

"The Don, everything is set. It's time to walk you down the aisle." Jack who came up smartly dressed spoke to Don Romero in his room as he prepared to proceed to the altar where he would be married to Trisha.

"And also, my parents are here. They just arrived and are requesting your presence." He quickly added.

"Oh. Yes, my wonderful in-laws, please bring them in." Don Romero was excited as he had envisioned today to be a wonderful day for him. He would in a very short while be officially wed to the Italian beauty, Trisha Rodriguez, and at the same time auction the young even more beautiful Annabel to his rich friends as he demonstrates yet again that whatever he wants in all of Sicily, no one could stop him from having it.

The Rodriguezs were ushered in by one of their sons, Juan. The Don went to them and they hugged and exchanged compliments and other frivolities before hitting on the real matters of interest.

"So where's that bastard of a person?" Don Romero quickly asked, eager to see Angelo and get even more ideas of what he would do to him.

With a snap of his finger, Baron ordered that Angelo be brought into the room. Don Romero's men brought him in and threw him down at the Don's feet.

"You see boy, you'll always be underneath my feet. And after your eyes see what's about to happen next, you'll beg me to kill you but I'll not. Later tonight, I'll have you tied and your eyes wide open as I make you watch me devour your wife." The sound of Don Romero's words was getting under Angelo's skin as he tried to stand up and face him but the men holding him down were too powerful for him.

"Oh. You're struggling. The dust has something to say." Romero got even more excited seeing that his words were hurting Angelo and he went even further to give a final blow.

"I know your beautiful sister is a virgin. After am done with your pretty wife, I'll make you watch me as I devour your sister raw and hard without any pity or mercy. I'll fuck her so hard, they'll hear her screams in the Vatican." 

Angelo invested all his strength to break free from the guards but before he could get hold of Don Romero, Baron grabbed him and punched him in his stomach weakening him for Romero's men to continue the beating.

"Do not beat him too much, I need him alive and well sitting in the front row at the wedding."
