Ruthless Prince (Dark Syndicate 1)

I’ve purposely avoided talk of it because I didn’t know what to do. Many have contacted me, but I placed it on hold. Tristan is right though. The Syndicate was formed for a reason. The wealth and assets I’ve accumulated are so vast it blows my mind. It was designed to be shared and used.

I sigh. “There are few I trust,” I reply.

“Maybe that’s why this guy suggested you take the lead. People you select to join you will be more trustworthy,” Dominic joins in.

“I agree,” Tristan adds.

“I want vengeance. Hearing this shit makes me want to hunt the fuckers responsible.”

I know the other bosses and leaders of the crime families who were part of the Brotherhood would

feel the same way. It’d have strength in numbers and get blood for fucking blood.

“Then do it, Massimo. Reform and lead, and we’ll back you up like we always do,” Tristan imparts with a firm nod.

I gaze out to the beach and see my girl off in a distance, painting.

I promised I’d protect her from everything so we could have this life.

I don’t want the threat of war or anything to threaten our family. I want everything with her. The future with her and the children we’ll have.

She chose me to be her husband and protector. Pa chose me to take the lead on the business and the family. My brothers chose me because they believe in me.

It’s time to become who I’m supposed to be and take the lead, indeed. On everything.

“I’ll do it.”
