The Mafia Leader Damien, Chapter 1: I don't do lie.
~~~~~

Damien's pov:

I walked through the sweaty crowd as I made my way to the back of the club. My brother Crawford and my best friend Zach were right behind me. My bodyguards were around the club, looking out.

Tonight, one businessman wanted to meet me. We never met before and we don't know each other. Crawford organised the meet up here since it was crowded and it would be easy for us to escape if anything bad happens.

Damien Russo, my name makes people scared. Almost everyone knows me either for being a successful billionaire or for being the powerful, heartless Mafia Leader.

In business world, everyone makes sure that they have solid reasons before approaching me. I have a lot of business friend that worked with me for a long time. They know that I'm not that bad if they don't mess up.

In the Mafia world, other gangs don't want to mess with me. Some might ask me for help but I only accept if their reasons are valid. Zach usually looks after the cases as he digs in deeply and tells me who is lying and who is telling me the truth.

I don't do lie. I hate when people lie to me.

I felt someone collide with me and I looked down at whoever it was.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry." She apologized looking up. My eyes immediately locked with hers. She had beautiful hazel eyes.

"Want me to get her away from you?" Zach asked beside me but I ignore him. She was about to talk again when another girl came to get her. I watched as they both disappeared in the crowd.

"Are you done? Can we go now?" Crawford grinned.

"Yeah, let's go," I stated making my way to the private area. The security guy opens the door for us and we stepped in. We walked to a boot and sat down waiting for the businessman to show up. We ordered some non-alcoholic drink since we needed to be sober for the meeting.

I look through the mirror glass window and saw many people dancing in the middle. The window was tinted. We could see what was happening outside but the people outside couldn't see anything that was happening inside. This room was also soundproof.

My eyes roamed the whole crowd and settled themselves on a particular girl. She was having fun with her friends. She dances carefree, ignoring everyone around her. Now that I got a good look at her, I noticed that she was wearing a cute red dress.

"Yo, you there?" Zach asked waving his hand in front of my face. I looked at him and he raised an eyebrow.

"Were you even listening to what I was explaining?" He asked and I shake my head no.

"Not at all," I said, taking a sip of my drink and he glared at me.

"Geez, thanks for making me talk alone." He said dramatically and I rolled my eyes.

"Crawford was listening to you." I pointed out and Crawford frowned.

"No, I wasn't." He said and Zach sighed.

"Whatever, I'm not going to talk again." He said taking his drink in his hand. He turned away from us, ignoring us. I glanced at Crawford and he shrugged. We both know he wasn't being serious.

"Ok, fine we are sorry. We will listen to you now." Crawford said and Zach peeked at us.

"Fine, I'm only talking to you guys because the businessman is here," Zach said pointing at the door. The security guy was looking at their card.

We waited for 5 minutes before he made his way inside with two guys behind him.

"Mr Russo? I'm Mr Parker." He said putting his hand forward. I put my hand forward and we handshake.

"These two are my sons Royal and Reese." He said and the guys handshake us.

"Why did you want to meet us?" I asked straight forward.

"I need your help. You are our last hope." He said.

"Can you elaborate more on this?" Crawford said firmly.

"Someone threatened to kill my son Royal. We tried to talk with him but he wouldn't listen. He even threatened to kill me if I try to protect Royal." He said vulnerable.

"You tried to talk with him which means that you already know him. Who is that someone." Zach questioned and Mr Parker nodded.

"He is an old friend, Mr Juan. We used to work together but unfortunately, his business went down after some losses. And now he is after my sons, the next owner of the company." Mr Parker explained.

"So what exactly do you want us to do to him?" Crawford inquired.

"I- I don't know. Do anything that will make him stop threatening my sons and trying to kill them." Mr Parker answered, pleading.

"And what are we going to get by helping you?" I asked blankly.

"Money? Anything that you will want. Name the price and I'll give it to you." He answered desperately.

"We will come back to that later. For now, we need to have more information about Mr Juan. And mind you, if anything turns out to be a lie, Mr Juan won't be the only one to get hurt." Crawford warned and they nodded.

"We will give you everything." Mr Parker said and looked at his son. Reese handed a suitcase to his dad and Mr Parker opened it. He turned it toward us.

"Everything is in here if you need anything else. Let's us know." He said while Zach checked the papers.

"It looks like everything we need is here," Zach commented.

"We will inform you if we will take this mission tomorrow. We need to check the information." Crawford added and they just nodded. They stood up and we handshake before they left.

"It doesn't look like he was lying," Zach said as soon as they left.

"We don't know that. We need to go home and check those papers." Crawford said standing up. Zach and I both stood up and he grabbed the suitcase. We walked outside and went to our car. All the bodyguards followed us.
