Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Well, to cut the story short, his will always get enforced, hence the title. And remind him later to block the wife of his last victim who kept calling him. Why doesn’t she understand he no longer spreads love, he has Mimi now and he would give the rest of his love to her forever. Yeah, yeah, he knows ladies can’t get enough of him, but his period of love is over.
“To know me this well, you have to be into some pretty deep shit as well, sir? What have you been up to father-in-law? Would you need my help cleaning up?” Victor was offering help at gunpoint.
“Shut up!” Roger hissed, his finger almost pulling the trigger and Victor swallowed. Alright, no offering help then, he wouldn’t want to be killed by mistake.
“Did someone send you here to kill me? Who is it? Which of my competitors hired you?” He queried him.
…..
However, Victor calmly answered,
“With all due respect, sir, but if I wanted you dead, I would not have come through the front door. Also, I’m not a mercenary, but a consigliere. There’s a clear difference between the both, a consigliere is merely a representative and secures a deal to the satisfaction of his boss while a mercenary ruins the deal. Like you don’t know how much I detest mercenaries who mess up meetings for me. Sometimes, I do end up chasing after one to talk the love of God into him.” Victor effused, looking stressed about the matter.
He added after a moment,”You can even ask around since you know me so well, my body count isn’t even that high. Violence isn’t always the answer, sir. “
Now, Roger was the one who was dumbfounded and unable to do a thing. Was this the Enforcer he heard so much about? He didn’t look much.
However, he was Victor Luciano, Roger was sure of that. He had known the moment the young man introduced himself with that name and even went upstairs to make research, affirming he had the same man in his house.
He had been pretending all this while, influenced by his wife’s just to find a way to trap him here and it worked. What had his daughter Mimi been thinking to associate with the likes of him? Victor was a dangerous man, does she know that?
Seeing that Victor meant him no harm, Roger meant to lower the gun, but remembering his daughter, he aimed again, “What do you want with Mimi?”
Victor raised his hand in surrender. Christ Jesus! His father-in-law was a badass. Look at how he gripped the gun!
“I love your daughter,” He confessed to him sincerely.
He lamented, “Why Mimi? You could have gone for other women with your status and filthy money, why do you have to come after my daughter?”
“Because she’s Mimi and I love her?” Victor thought over it, wondering if he was missing something here. Was he supposed to add more? Oh right.
“Also, she’s brilliant and a badass like you! You should see the first time we met, she gave me this punch on the face, and men, that right hook did hurt badly. But now, I would proudly wear that scar on my face if it was still here, but you know, how our bodies heal and all, so it’s gone. However, there is no other girl I would want other than your daughter, she’s the missing half of my dark soul. ” Victor said, touching his chest with admiration.
But Roger was staring at Victor with total disbelief on his face. And they call this man the Enforcer? He was an idiot. Nonetheless, his speech was touching, but that was not enough to change his mind.
“Find another woman, there are many girls out there who are better than Mimi -“
“There’s only one Mimi and that’s the one I want.”
“Mimi is my only daughter, I would not send her to her death. Your lifestyle is too much dangerous for her.” Roger stood his ground.
“You don’t give credit to your daughter, she’s stronger than you think,”
Victor wondered what he would think if he told him his daughter had already taken a life before he influenced her. But no, he couldn’t do that. He would not destroy the image of Mimi in her father’s eyes. Victor would be the bad guy alone.
“You are not going to let her go, are you?”
“No,” Victor said firmly, “She’s having my baby, there’s no turning back now. Your daughter is mine now.”
Roger stared him deep in the eyes and when he saw the truth in there, he lowered his gun. However, he stepped closer to him till they were staring at each other, man to man.
“You are going to keep this shit from my wife for as long as you can because before she became Mimi’s mother, she was my wife first and if you upset my wife, Enforcer or not, I’m coming after you. Is that clear to you?”
Victor saluted him, “Roger that, sir.”
Warm Your Bed
“Jesus Christ, what are you doing, Dad?!” Mimi walked in on her father stepping in front of Victor with his rifle by his side and she immediately got in between them, shielding Victor from him. Would her father really have shot Victor if she were a minute late?
She glared at her father, “What is this for? I thought you were cool with the pregnancy? You and Mom even said you have been waiting for me to continue the family line. Why are you doing this now?” She assumed it was about the pregnancy.
However, when her father looked at Victor questioningly, and he nodded back at him, Mimi sensed something was going on and she had no idea.
“When I wanted you to get pregnant, it was to a normal guy from a comfortable background, not to Victor from the Luciano crime Family.” Her father revealed and Mimi’s eyes widened.
“You knew?” She was stunned.
“I am a businessman Mimi and I have seen and heard things. There is nothing that is hidden under the sun,” Her father shook his head, hanging his rifle back on the wall where it belonged.
He said, “You disappoint me, daughter,”
There was a lump in Mimi’s throat and her eyes watered when she heard those words. Her father has always loved and praised her until now. No wonder he wanted to shoot Victor.
But amid the emotion clogging her throat, Mimi still managed to defend Victor, “It happened that way, Pa, nor do we have control over who we love.”
…..
“I know,” Roger nodded, staring at his daughter, “Which is why I’m giving you my blessings.”
Mimi gasped when she heard those words. Was he serious like now? She felt like he was pulling her leg or something.
“Tell me you’re not kidding?”
“I would do everything to keep my daughter happy. Come here,” The man spread his arms wide and Mimi ran into it, hugging him tightly.
She was so happy right now and was grateful to have a father like him. Mimi couldn’t help it but tears ran down her eyes as she muttered,
“Thank you. Thank you so much, father.”
“Anything for my baby girl.” Roger patted her back, squeezing his eyes close with emotion. It was so sad that his little girl was all grown up and would be paving her own life soon.
Father and daughter relished that moment, and it was just the both of them until Victor joined in. He wrapped his arm around the both of them in a bear hug and Roger sighed, yet let him be.
The lad was a weird one.
But he was honest. And the man still found it hard to believe that he was the Enforcer. Well, Victor was family now and a family who hugs together, loves together.
It wasn’t until they heard the sound of a camera shutter go off that they broke apart only to see that it was Hannah taking a picture of them together.
