Caesar
‘Yesterday was like hell for me. After spending the last few months in peace, now again useless people are dancing on my head and creating ruckus. But they don’t know who they are standing against. I can rip each one of them apart within seconds.’
I was brought out of my thoughts by Igor, who stirred in his sleep. His face was glowing more due to the warm shine of the sun. His head was on my shoulder and his arm was encircling my waist. No one would ever think that Igor Smirnov, the world’s greatest assassin could even look this adorable while he was sleeping.
I was busy admiring my boyfriend’s cuteness when my phone shattered the silence. I reached the night stand to pick up my phone. One of my mens number flashing on it.
“Yeah?” My voice is low but firm.
“Boss, everything is destroyed!” A panic voice filled the line and I carefully removed Igor’s arm before getting up from the bed.
“What the hell do you mean destroyed?” I whisper yelled at him when I walked a little far from Igor.
“Our Latern territory is gone! Police raided it this morning” My jaw clenched so hard it felt like it might crack.
“Just like Rioto one, they confiscated everything and killed our men”.
“Rioto?” I was confused when he mentioned that name. But then he told me everything about what happened yesterday.
“What the fucking hell!” My knuckles turned white as I gripped the phone tightly.
After ending the call, I was breathing heavily in fury and was about to call Akim when one of the Don’s called me.
“Caesar! What the hell is going on? The police raided my warehouses! What the hell are you doing about all this?” A voice exploded on the other end, filled with rage.
“You better watch your tone” My voice was steady but cold as ice.
“You are telling me to watch my tone! My entire territory is wiped out because you did nothing to stop that fucking cop!… If you would have done your job as the so-called ‘king’ we wouldn’t have been in this mess”.
My eyes darkened in rage because now a mere don has the guts to scream at me and only because of that asshole.
“Don’t you forget, I am the Mafia King for a reason. You think you can call and shout at me?” My voice dropped to a menacing growl and he got silent.
“I will handle that officer but… don’t you ever make the mistake of thinking that I am not in control” My voice was calm but filled with quiet intensity.
“Understood” His voice now softened and I ended the call.
Before I could figure out everything, Igor’s sleepy voice came from behind. He was now sitting on the bed and looking at me with curious gaze.
“You didn’t tell me about the raids” My voice was cold and full of accusations as I was already angry.
“Uh, I wanted to but you were already stressed about everything” He got up from the bed and walked towards me.
“Stressed? I am not a fucking kid, Igor! You should have told me about that. It’s your duty!” I literally growled at him.
“I know but don’t worry, we’ll handle…” He tried to touch me but I took a step back.
“We? No! I am going to handle this. You have already done the enough damage!” I tried to keep my rage in check but clearly it was not happening.
“Caez, pls listen to me” I could see a mixture of regret and sadness in his eyes.
“I have important matters to handle” I said and walked out of the room without looking at him.
I went to one of the guest rooms to freshen up, then I went to my office and called Akim.
“How long were you going to keep this from me?” My voice was dangerously low and I didn’t even look at him.
“Igor boss told me n-not to inform you” He shivered when my cold gaze landed on him.
“You were supposed to report me!” My voice rose and he flinched, lowering his head.
“So-Sorry boss” He stuttered in fear.
“Don’t you dare keep me in the dark again” I snarled and he nodded quickly.
After a few seconds, I took a deep breath and tried to cool myself down in order to think about my next steps.
“I want every detail of that officer by tonight” My voice was cold.
“Yes boss” He quickly nodded and walked out of my office.
I leaned back in my chair and considered everything that had transpired since the morning… I had to deal with that bloody officer, who’s turned into pain in the neck.
I was also angry with Igor because he hide such important information from me and this time I might not be able to forgive him easily.
My eyes were closed as I was thinking about ways to handle this situation when someone entered without my permission and only one person can do that… Igor.
“Caez, I want to talk to you” His voice was soft and filled with desperation.
“I don’t want to hear anything, Igor. Just leave” I didn’t even open my eyes and said firmly.
“But Caez…” I could hear his footsteps approaching me.
“Pls, leave” I opened my eyes and looked at him, halting his steps. My voice was low but steady and he left reluctantly.
I was more saddened by his actions than I was angry, therefore I was not in the mood to talk to him and needed some time alone.
