Chapter 10
Romano continued to stare at him, he had known Alexander since they were 15. His father was Vicenzo Vladimir, leader of the Vicenzo mafia group.
If the mafia world had a king then it would be the Vicenzos'. Their wealth and influence were immeasurable. The Vicenzo mafia group topped the charts and it was based in Russia.
Alexander unfortunately lost his mother and his identical twin brother, Alessandro, when he was 10 years old, making him the sole heir of Vicenzo mafia group. Alexander became colder than ice after their death.
Romano's father, Lorenzo Rocco, was Vicenzo's childhood friend. As a kid, Romano had been closer to Alessandro and he was more than saddened by his death. Romano then became close friends with Romano when they went to the same highschool.
Romano's family also hailed from a strong mafia lineage and they came second after the Vicenzos'. Romano was also the CEO of RK Group, a very successful company in Europe. Romano had a hunch that Alexander had a successful company of his own too but he had no idea why he wouldn't tell him about it, it was so frustrating.
Alexander got up from the chair he had been seating on and he walked towards the pool and he stared at it.
Romano sighed, his best friend was a psychotic ghost, that was the only reasonable explanation.
"I'll be leaving for Albania tomorrow, come with me Romano" Alexander said with his back facing him.
Romano pushed his dark red hair backwards and he rolled his black eyes.
"The hell Alexander! You know what fuckin happened the last time you went to Albania, you almost died and I'm sure those people are still looking for you!" Roman yelled at him, it was like Alexander wasn't scared of dying.
He wasn't able to protect Alessandro but there's no way he's going to let the same thing happen to Alexander.
"It's gonna be fine now, I've gotten what I wanted and I'm just going there for a little payback" Alexander said as he looked at a girl's picture on his phone.
"Bro…"
"Trust me on this one Romano" Alexander said and Romano sighed as he mentally prepared himself for the massacre that was about to occur in Albania.
"Fine" Romano groaned. They both stayed there for a few more hours and they went back to their separate rooms.
However, Alexander had no plans of having even a wink of sleep. He picked one of his cannabis from the table, lightened it and began smoking. He picked up his phone and continued staring at the girl's picture as he smoked.
The next day…………
Alexander alighted the stairs with Romano behind him.
"Cancel the meeting with chairman park, I'll be busy for the next few days" Romano said over the phone and he hung up afterwards.
"You sound so responsible when you're on calls like that" Alexander chimed with a bored expression on his face and Romano slightly glared at him making him chuckle.
Alexander was dressed in an expensively tailored tux, part of his black hair was packed up while 2 strands of his hair fell on his face. No one had to tell him he looked hot, his black well polished shoes made soft daunting sounds as he walked.
Romano was dressed in a red and white tux, his red hair fell in his face, leaving a mysterious aura around him. He wore dark red polished shoes and his striking appearance made him stand out anywhere, he was extremely handsome as well.
They got to the large, magnificent living room and they met Penelope there, her eyes widened as they took in their appearances.
"Look at my boys looking so hot" Penelope gushed and Romano took long strides towards her and he hugged her, although she was way shorter than him.
"Granny Penelope" Romano grinned as he hugged her. Penelope had been working in the mansion for 3 good years, Alexander and Romano easily got acquainted with her and now, she was like their very own grandmother.
"I keep telling you not to overwork yourself, there are cleaners and maids who can do the job" Romano said with obvious concern for her.
"I'm not overworking myself Romano, you can ask Alexander" Penelope said. "You both are dressed to kill" She added as she beamed.
Romano chuckled at the thought of granny Penelope being very unaware about how literal her words were.
"We're going on a short trip", Romano said and his gaze shifted to Alexander, who had also come to stand next to Penelope.
"Where's she?" he asked her and Penelope didn't need more details from him to know who he was referring to.
"She caught a flu and I permitted her to rest in the bed for the day", Penelope said and Alexander's eyes narrowed, no one had to tell him that Jacqueline was in perfect health.
"Very well then" Alexander said and he began walking out of the house.
Romano's perfect eyebrows creased, "Who was Alexander referring to?" Romano asked her.
"His personal maid" Penelope said and Romano's eyes hardened.
"He got another one after what happened to the last 5 maids who had worked for him?" Romano asked and he sighed out.
"We'll be leaving now" Romano said and he pecked her forehead before leaving the mansion too.
Romano joined Alexander in his black sleek G Wagon and the driver drove them out of the mansion.
Alexander sat calmly like he was an ancient Greek god while Romano remained unsettled by what Penelope had told him.
"Bro! How could you hire another personal maid after the catastrophe the last 5 maids caused?" Romano asked with a slight glare.
Although Alexander had told Jacqueline that the previous maids had mysteriously drowned in the pool, that was only the tip of the iceberg compared to what really happened.
Alexander shut his eyes as he reclined his head to the head rest.
"You worry so much that I'm afraid your hair might turn gray sooner than granny Penelope's" Alexander said calmly.
Romano hit his head on the window in frustration, everyone around Alexander were doomed to run mad. He could only trust Alexander's wits and hope that this new maid won't cause more trouble than the previous ones.
