Chapter 17 

Alessio 

Blinking my eyes, I looked back and forth between the truck and the man having the nerve to overthrow my authority. “Is there an issue?” I asked. “Because if there is, we might as well take care of it right now.” 

Mikael stuck out his tongue, shaking his head. “Alessio Fanucci, always standing on business,” he grasped my shoulder, leading us inside. “Let’s catch up first. Then we’ll get to the unloading part later.” 

When he had said later, I hadn’t expected him to invite him to his backyard to sit at the table with food and drinks. We were supposed to give him his products, and fly back home. None of us had time for his crap 

I shared a look with my brothers who were just as cautious as I was. Dante took a bite from his food and a sip from his drink, most likely not to offend Mikael. 

“I’d love to just drop this order and go, Mikael. It’s been a long day, my impatience grew. The day was long enough already, and sitting around for chitchat wasn’t high on my list. Not when Jimena and that little creature of hers were roaming the Fanucci mansion. 

“We will get to that, but not so fast–Alessio, Mikael responded, gritting his teeth. As he led out a quick whistle and a snap of his fingers, my brothers and I made eye contact, warning each other to be prepared for any possible outcome. Something wasn’t right. 

A group of women in bikinis appeared, each one looking like they had just stepped out of a magazine. I had expected nothing less of Mikael, but for him to want to share his girls, must’ve meant hell was about to break loose. 

“Ales is in a serious relationship, Dante tapped his fork. He spoke for me just as he did on the plane, but this time I could appreciate it, despite hearing a hint of annoyance. 

“Hmmm,” Mikael hummed, snapping his fingers, and just like that, the women turned and left the backyard. Mikael laughed, throwing back his head. “Right, right, you caused quite the scene at that party of yours, didn’t you?” 

“So I’ve heard 

Mikael cackled. “You’re with the maid now, 

• Jimena right?” 

I pressed my lips together. “Nice of you to remember her name. 

That was exactly what I did not want to happen. 

Mikael’s laughter kept growing louder by the second, but I wasn’t in the mood for his jokes. He was getting on my nerves. 

Mikael leaned back in his chair, eyeing us with a smirk. “So, how’s business going?” he asked, swirling his drink. 

“Stable as always,” I responded, unsure whether he was speaking about our legal brand, or our illegal activities. 

“Yes, very stable. I actually bought a few bottles back in Brazil, Mikael mentioned. He made a rainbow with his hands, “The Fanuccis are going worldwide- 

“Can we unload the truck now?” Gian cut him off. He had a straight to the point personality, and it was surprising he was able to keep his mouth shut for that long. 

“So listen, little Fanuccis, Mikael rubbed his hands together. Then he leaned forward. He was so close I could smell the liquor from his breath, “I’ll have to pull out temporarily. Just until you guys fix whatever’s going on with the Baldinis.” 

His words weren’t making sense to

Mikael sighed, “The Leone stopped by. He’s not too happy with the Fanuccis, especially you, Alessio. He doesn’t appreciate what you did to his daughter, embarrassing the family like that he spoke. I’m a family man. I have a daughter myself. What you did, screwing him over like that! You could screw me over like that,” 

I was taken aback. “And since when is Leonardo involved in East Coast business” I questioned, trying to grasp the situation. 

“Since he offered to sell me weapons and other stuff that might be in my interest for half the price if I drop you, Mikael shrugged, scratching his neck. “I’m just looking at my options.” 

“That’s nice of him.” I laughed, sarcastically. “You can look at your options, but we aren’t leaving without that truck being unloaded.” 

Mikael shook his head, “You don’t have much choice, Alessio,

Thad expected Iconando to react. I had expected him to play diety, but not this dirty. 

Listen, you motherfucker in had finally lost it. You need to take our stuff of the truck, and stops wasting our  time” 

Mikael squinted hiceyes, unfazed Or what he challenges him “You’re going to put those weapons your carried for no reason, to usel 

“Maybe I will Gian threatened him. The one thing my brother, the hothead, lacked was the ability to remain calm. We could’ve just walked away peacefully always feared he would get us into some deep shit one day, and maybe today was that day. 

Mikael explodest, Don’t you dare threatening me in my own house! In a swill motion, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Gims. It only took a split second for Gian and Dante to aim their guns hack at Mikael, creating a standoff. 

I quickly stood ups, politing my own goin to Mikael. The room was seconds removed from turning into a shooting range, with both our men pointing guns at one another. 

Glancing and, I made a quick calculation. We brought ten men, Mikael had about twenty, and that was only counting the ones standing in the backyard 

We were clearly oumbered, and my top priority has always been to bring my brothers back in once peace. Although I would rather die than adhuisting to that, those two lists carried a special place in my heart 

“You’re right. It is your house,” I sighed, lowering my gun, “Come on, there’s no need for all of that I instructed the men and my their gyms. 

Mikael motioned his men do the same, but the tension in the room had already been created.

He looked nervous, and I could understand why he did. Had it come in a shout out, the Fame is would’ve gone hull out to take revenge. Had it been dad instead of us, Mikael wouldn’t have dared to have such a big of a mouth in to a mention his possible deal with the Baldinis.
