Legally Bound To The Mafia Boss

Luciano arrived at Don’s villa exactly twenty minutes after he left home, by the time he got there, he already figured out that their loss was on the millions side, investors were pulling out and their stock already dropped by thirty percent, he couldn’t stop the lost, all he needed to do was damages control.

“Where is he?’ he asked the men at the entrance, and they pointed him to where Don was, he was with his assistant who excused himself as soon as he walked him, Don had his reading glasses on for the first time since forever and he had a serious expression which was different from the expression he had the day he had told him to suck it up and not think too much about himself, well guess he finally saw the light after losing so much in one day, a wake-up call was needed.

“You are here, I am losing it,”

Don said as soon as he sat down, Luciano wanted to rub it in his face and tell him he deserved what he got for not listening to him but the old man already looked like he was going through hell, he suddenly aged so much, and was looking extra weak.

“I am here and I don’t even know what to say to you Don, this would not have happened if you had just listened to me,”

Luciano responded.

“I get that, can you fix this?”

“Yeah, I will, that’s what I got called for right but I should ask, How do you feel now knowing that this could have been avoided, knowing that I warned you, Don, I told you they were up to no good but you refused to listen, now barely two months later, we lost millions, I told you not to associate with Perez but you didn’t listen, instead you went ahead and partnered with him.”

Luciano let out, doing his best not to yell at the old man who already looked weak and defeated, this is why he should have listened to him.

“I made a bad business call, this had nothing to do with Perez, don’t make this about him or anyone else that’s not the reason I called for you,”

The old man said and Luciano couldn’t believe he was still blindly trusting and defending Perez, it was so obvious to him what was happening, he just didn’t get why his grandfather wasn’t seeing it, of all the business Perez could have suggested, it had to be hard drugs? They do a lot of stuff in the household but drugs? It has not been a thing for ages now not since the case that almost ruined them.

‘Excuse me, you didn’t call me, you didn’t have the balls to call me, you had your assistant do it, funny how you said I think too much of myself when I told you that you will crumble without me, turns out I wasn’t been buff after all, you still called me first when you ran into troubles,”

Luciano mocked. he was not about to let the old man off so easily.

“Now let’s talk about Perez, he is the one that brought the idea so this is all on him which might I mention could be part of his plans to sabotage us,”

Luciano mentioned and he was sure that was it.

“I already told you this was a bad business call and it has nothing to do with Perez,”

Don replied.

“Deda, what does Perez have on you? Why do you keep defending him? Why can’t you see this is all planned out, they bring you down along with the family name we spent decades building and save the remains for themselves, you are letting them do that, if you want my help, you are going to have to be on my side if not, I am going back home and acting like this call never came, you told me to stay away remember? I can do that and watch you fail and I might even buy off the remains of the empire you allowed to crumble.

He let out, if Don wasn’t going to listen to him and see who the enemy was then there will be a big issue, he would walk away and let him fail.

“You are not listening to me, your cousin Macko was the one who proposed the deal, at that the time, it seem like the perfect thing to do, what I didn’t know was that the contract I signed had nothing to do with the business plan your cousin suggested, Perez hasn’t even spoken to me about this deal, that’s why I said you are wrong, and before you tell me about not reading, I did, but there is only so much an old man like me can take.”

Don explained but Luciano wasn’t buying the Perez is innocent shit, they were friends and he was sure both he and Macko had planned it together, Macko, that bastard has no sense of family, all he was after was his own gain, even if they decided to go back to selling and dealing drugs, it should have been done in the right way to avoid loses, but no, Macko just had to be greedy enough to plunge a huge amount of money into a risky business that would have only benefited him and not the company, Perez was definitely involved and there was nothing that can change his mind about that.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Okay, ignore all of those things and who is at fault or not, where the fuck is Macko and why is his ass not up cleaning the mess he made,”

Luciano asked even though he already had a clue of what his cousin would be up to now, he has seen this movie before and knew just what happened the first time that’s why he had tried everything in his power to prevent it from happening even going as far as getting married still it happened.

“I can’t reach him, I tried calling him a couple of times already when I got the news the first time before I even knew I signed a different deal,”

Don said and Luciano finally listened properly to what the old man was saying.

“You signed a different deal, what did he propose as opposed to what got approved?

“What he proposed was a deal with the Nigerian government for us to directly get crude oil from them and we can get our own refinery, why do think I signed such a huge amount of money away, I didn’t know the money was being used for something else, that idiot child sneaked in that piece and I signed, they are stealing our money with my signature and I can’t do anything to stop it, ”

Don let out, Luciano was more confused now because it was impossible to do that in a space of two months, there were a lot of paper works that should have been involved and a lot of meetings especially physical meetings, the least time it would have taken before such a deal would have been finalized would be six or even nine months, it wasn’t something that would have passed just like that, certainly, Don would have known something was off with the proposal, heck just hearing him talk about it already sent red flags to his brain.

“And your legal team? They didn’t see anything wrong with it?”

He asked, he was so disappointed he didn’t even know who to direct his anger towards, Macko, Don, or his legal team, they all just messed up so bad, and now he had to fix the mess they made.

“That’s another mistake I made,”

Don answered.

“Oh, God, please tell me you ran the proposal along with the team before you signed,”

Luciano let out but by the look on Don’s face, he didn’t do it, there was a much bigger trouble than he thought and this was going to take a while to fix, hopefully, their loss is fixable.

“Okay, here is what we will do, you will hand over all the files you signed while I was away, both this deal and every other deal or minor thing, just everything that has your signature in them, I will go through them, as this is no longer an internal crisis since our stocks are dropping, we are going to have to give a press release, maybe that would help keep the public at peace and we are going have a meeting with major shareholders as long as you are with me on this and would do as I say,”

Luciano explained.

“Yes, I already have all the files ready and I will swallow my pride and follow your direction, just don’t let us lose,”

Don said in a pleading voice, if only he had listened to him, there wouldn’t be a need for him to be pleading now, anyway it already happened and now he has to do his best to stop it from getting worse as it might affect his personal business too and the last thing he wanted was to fail.
