Chapter 159

Romeo

I got up very early the next morning I knew Jenn will sleep late I mean I did wear her out last night. I showered and got dressed in one of my custom-made suits, chose one of my watches and put some aftershave on then I left the walk-in closet and walked to Jenn and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She didn’t even move. When I got downstairs Lucus was waiting for me. “Morning Lucas.” “Boss” “Walk with me.” We walked to the kitchen and I poured myself a cup of coffee. “What’s going on?” “It’s Sebastian’s cousin his already making a noise.” “That was quick.” “I send him the picture and he immediately contact me.” “Oh, really and what did he say?” “His coming for us.” “Great that is what we want.” “I know boss but with the wedding coming up and I’m sure Jennifer wants to go out to do some stuff, I’m afraid he will go after her again.” “We will have security Lucas and this time they shoot to kill I don’t care where in the city it happens, I will get someone to clean it up but they will not get away with anything this time.” “I’ll tell the rest boss.” “Good now we have a meeting with the Morelli family regarding their money laundering situation.” “Yes, boss we are ready.” “What do you mean we?” “You just said we need more security.” “For Jennifer not for me, we can’t rock up at the Morelli’s with more than one SUV Lucas they will think I’m bringing trouble to their door.” “Your security is important boss.” “I have a firearm, Lucas; I can protect myself.” “NO Lucas that is final, you can take another man with us but not another vehicle.” “As you wish.” Then he turned around and walked out the kitchen I could see he wasn’t happy but I’m the boss and I’m not going to let anyone see that we have troubles on our side. It will seem to them like we are weak and we are not weak. I finished my cup of coffee and went outside to find Lucas and Noah waiting for me. I got in the SUV and Lucas pulled out of the Estate. On our way to the Morelli’s, I was answering e-mails and then decided I need to send Brad an e-mail to ask him if he had replacements for the people I fired. My e-mail was just send when I receive an e-mail from Brad summonsing me to his office. The last sentence said “You made the mess you need to fix it.” Great he can’t even hire people how did he get where he is right now, was it luck or was it because I looked over him from a far? Probable me looking after him.

We arrived at the Morelli’s estate, before we could even drive up to the house there was security at the gate we needed to go through, it was normal for us I mean I have them to. Our firearms were checked and then taken. Also not weird, then we were allowed to drive towards the house. When we got to the front door we were checked again. This was a bit of an overkill but each to his own. Morelli’s bodyguard took me and Lucas to Morelli’s office. “Bianchi.” He said by way of greeting “Morelli so nice to see you.” “Always a pleasure Bianchi, can I get you some coffee?” “No, I’m good thank you.” “Can your guy wait outside.” Lucas was not happy but walked out the office which left only me and Morelli in the office. “I heard Sebastian is dead?” Interesting word was getting out very quickly. “I’ve heard that as well.” I played dumb. He gave me a look that said he knew it was me. “Did you know he was working with the DEA?” “I’ve heard rumors yes but I have another supplier so what Sebastian is doing or the fact that his dead has absolutely nothing to do with me.” “You going to stick to that story?” “It’s not a story if it’s true.” “Okay fine let’s get to business.” Morelli said. “Yes, let’s talk business, you called me because you have money you want to launder?” “Yes, and I know you are the best in doing that.” “I am. Show me all your businesses.” For the next hour I looked through all Morelli’s businesses and it was difficult to launder money through these small businesses. “Okay I think you should invest in something very big, a casino or a few houses and you pay for it in cash.” “I don’t want a casino every fucking business man in Vegas has a casino.” “It’s because it’s easy money and you can launder a fucken ton lot of money through them.” “I know nothing about the business.” “I can go in partnership with you with a casino you can pay me a consulting fee and I will run the business for you, or should I say I will get men to run the business for you. You don’t have to do anything except enjoy the money it brings in.” “You sure about that?” “Yes I am.” “What will your consulting fee be?” “It depends on what the business brings in I will take a percentage of the profit without the money we are putting through the books.” “Okay we can do that but I need contracts set up for that kind of thing.” “Well, aren’t you lucky to have someone that is prepared with you.” I pulled out the one Casino that was on the market and then I put the contracts in front of him. “Fuck Bianchi and if I said no?” “I have a few other businesses in my briefcase that is also on the market. But they don’t have the potential this one has.” “How much do they want?” “30 million” “Fuck” “I wouldn’t have this deal in front of you if I didn’t think it was a good deal Morelli.” “Fine offer them 25 million.” “I don’t know if they will fall for it but I will do that.” “Great let me know what they say.” I got up left all the paper work with Morelli letting him go through the papers on his own time.
