Suddenly, my cellphone rings. I answer the phone and put it on speaker, looking at Misha sitting across from me.
“What do you want Fedorov?” Bobby Vincenzio’s voice sounds loud and clear. He is pissed. Good.
“How are you Bobby, please introduce anyone on the call with you.”
I hear a sigh. “My brother, Paul, Adalina’s parents, and her fiancé Mario Alfonso. Get on with it!” Bobby exclaims impatiently.
“I kill you mother fucker if you touch her! She’s mine…” An angry Mario Alfonso, screams into the phone.
“I see you got my email.” I laugh.
“Fuck you!” Mario shouts.
“Enough posturing. Let’s all settle down. We can settle this like gentlemen. If I get what I want, the girl will be returned untouched. If I do not get what I want, I will either kill the girl or traffic her in Europe. Her virginity is quite valuable on the sex slave market.” I reply calmly, but with a hint of malice.
“What are your demands?” Bobby asks. He sounds frustrated.
“I want what belongs to me – the Bratva drug territory you stole from the Antonovich brothers.” I state firmly.
There is silence from Bobby.
I continue, “But that’s not all I want for disrespecting me. I want Velvet Handcuffs to remain zoned as commercial property. I don't want it turned into condos or apartments. I want the land for future business opportunities. So, call off your city alderman dogs.”
Bobby grunts in response, clearly unhappy with the request.
“And there's more,” I add. “My new designer synthetic cocaine is arriving in a week. Keep the cops away from the shipment. That goes for you and the families of New York. The New York Bratva will distribute my drug in New York and you will distribute my drug here.”
“What? Are you fucking crazy?” Paul Vincenzio screams into the phone.
“Unfortunately, I have a problem with not having enough drug dealers to properly distribute my cocaine, since the Feds arrested the Antonovich brothers and their men. You will distribute it to your drug dealers in all of your territories. I'll give you a couple of months' supply at cost, and you can keep all the profits. And I need a legitimate business, like a casino, near Chicago, so I can launder the money. I don't need to own it, but I need my men in place to launder my money. I don’t expect these demands to be met overnight. You have two months to get my cocaine on the street and allow me the use of one of your casinos.” I calmly respond.
Paul Vincenzio protests, “We can't do that.”
I hear the grumbling through my phone and my blood starts to boil. These fools are underestimating me.
“Those are big demands. We are willing to stop city hall and give your territory back and make sure your drugs have safe passage to Chicago, but the Outfit distributing your cocaine and you using one of casinos is a no. Not going to happen.” Bobby states.
I smirk, knowing that they will soon change their minds.
“You don’t have to decide right now. Think about it. We will provide Adalina a good time here. Play with her awhile while you make up your mind. Call me back tomorrow and let me know the Outfit’s final decision. I can guarantee that my cocaine is superior and has also fooled drug sniffing dogs. The Outfit stands to make a great deal of money. I will give your regards to Adalina.”
I end the call before anyone can speak.
“Well, what do you think? Are we going to get what we want?” Misha asks.
“Of course. They would be foolish to turn down money. And Bobby and Paul Vincenzio will lose face if they don’t get their Italian princess back for their promised arranged marriage with Alfonso.
I grin, feeling like a fucking king. Soon, the Outfit will be under my thumb, and I will have everything I want. And Adalina? Well, she is just a bonus.
Chapter 17
Adalina
I walk around the luxurious bedroom that is my prison. I take in the grandeur of the room, with its high ceilings and ornate moldings. The walls are painted a soft shade of cream and adorned with intricate gold frames. The large four-poster bed takes center stage, draped in luxurious silk sheets and fluffy pillows. The room is filled with furniture made of dark wood, with intricate carvings and plush velvet cushions. A chandelier hangs from the ceiling, casting a warm glow around the room.
The room is equipped with all the modern amenities, including a large flat-screen TV mounted on the wall and a mini-fridge filled with snacks and drinks.
The bathroom is luxurious too, with marble flooring, walls, and countertops, a large, heated Jacuzzi tub, and a spacious walk-in shower, complete with multiple showerheads and a built-in bench. Plush towels, bathrobes, and slippers are provided, along with high-end toiletries such as designer shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It all feels so extravagant, but I can't even bring myself to enjoy it.
