"Did you call?" she asked confused
"Nope."
"Then-"
"Sources called so I know where they are." I smiled at her as I opened the door "Royalty's there too. I want to see her."
"Be careful." Diana kissed my cheek "Make sure you write me when you go to America."
"I will." I smiled "Tell Soph we'll meet again."
Diana brushed away her stray tears and nodded.
"Take care." she waved as I walked down the corridor to the elevator.
The elevator door opened and I turned around.
"Thank you for being there for me." I said then stepped inside and the doors closed behind me
A stray tear actually fell down my face and I smiled.
What the hell am I getting myself into to? Wait for me Royalty, I'm coming.
I opened the safe hidden in the tree in the park and shoved my hand inside. I felt something hard and pulled it out.
The diamond music box.
The music box glistened in the moonlight and I quickly hid it in my backpack before walking along the streets to where I knew the confusion was bound to start.
Damanico's POV
"Time to weed out the traitors." I told Rocco as I placed a few papers into a file
"Are you really handing him over to the police?" Rocco questioned "Are you that mad against him? He could get a lifetime in there."
"Better yet." I closed the folder and turned to Rocco "That's pay back for ruining my childhood. First killing my parents and when I was in his custody he neglected me. That's why I got into so much trouble and had to hide in Xavier's mafia."
"And Royalty?" Rocco went on taking the folder from me "What do you tell her and Neveah about being absent for so long? As far as they know you're a worker under Xavier and not a boss of your own mafia. They must have though the men were your hired workers and not mafia men."
"I'll have to tell them the truth later." I ran my fingers through my hair "Let's get Cardinal and those traitors out of here."
"What do you have in mind?" questioned Rocco "An accidental car crash?"
"Yep." I popped the 'p' and grinned "The cops would be patrolling town as there's a huge party and you know what happens when teenagers drink too much."
Rocco laughed.
"Let's go." he said
Xavier's POV
I arrived at the club and looked up at the sign.
Illusions! Felix Toronto's club. Time to see an old American friend and reconnect!
Felix was another childhood friend of mine and we were a pretty bad pair. We usually got each other into continuous amounts of trouble and had made several visits to juvenile prison in our young teenage years in America. He moved to Italy with the mafia but went his way in running a club and getting women although he never left the mafia business. I strolled into the club and the bouncer stopped me.
"ID please." he asked
"I've got none." I shrugged "I'm just here to see Felix."
"What links do you have to him?" the bouncer questioned showing his muscles
I almost rolled my eyes at this act of dominance but kept my posture.
"Tell him Xavier wants him." I told the bouncer who looked me up and down before walking up the back stairs in a huff.
I leaned against the railing. The music was loud and I watched a few girls pass by. They all flashed me dirty looks and I could tell that if I stepped foot inside there I would be swarmed and seduced. About ten minutes later I heard that very familiar voice.
"Nice to see you Xav!" Felix grinned as he came down the back stairs with the bouncer right behind him "It's been two and a half years bro."
I laughed.
"A little too long Felix." I grinned at the dark haired boy who I grew up with.
"Come in." he motioned me up "I sense you've got trouble on your hands."
"A lot." I followed him up the back stairs while the bouncer went back to work.
Felix led me to his office near the VIP section and his girls immediately started to clean his messy office where papers where all over.
Still the same untidy Felix!
"Talk to me." Fico leaned back on the arm chair "What's going on little bro?"
"You're only older by a month Felix." I rolled my eyes and put my foot up on his table "I need help. I've got that diamond music box with me. Cardinal Alfonso is on my hands now."
"What?" Felix raised an eyebrow.
I rolled my eyes and told him the story from the top. He nodded his head here and there and asked a few questions in between but listened with interest.
"So you have the music box now?" Felix asked
"Yep." I motioned to my backpack
"We've got to break it." Felix motioned to one of his girls to open my bag
She did as he asked and pulled out the music box carefully.
"Your girls don't talk do they?" I turned to Felix
"They're the A1 girls meaning they are only used by me and they're with me 24/7 so they can't talk." he grinned and motioned the girl to come to him with two fingers
She got up and sashayed over to him and handed him the music box.
"Where on earth did you hide something so valuable?" Felix turned the box over and over in his hand
"In a tree safe in the park." I shrugged "I told old Cardy that it was in the club. I'm not stupid to leave something so valuable to close by. I've got some thinning down of men to do before I go back to America."
"We're moving back?" Felix groaned "But I like it here. I have unlimited access to services."
I groaned and Felix laughed. The girls tried to hide their smiles and I heard a few of them giggle.Felix's definition of 'service' has to do with his ability to get company in bed.
"Alessandro is going back to Australia when we move." I looked at Felix "We've got to end this shit with Cardinal. What's so important in that box? Whatever was in it was taken and it's empty. I opened it a few times and there's nothing but a la-la melody."
