There is no confusion or delusion on my part. I’m fully aware my father is not a good man. Hell, I recognized his brand of evil early on during my youth, but back then, I still wanted to grow up and be just like him.

Now that I’m eighteen, entering college against his wishes and trying to convince the girl I’m madly in love with to marry me, my priorities have shifted greatly. She’s sixteen, still in high school. I was promoted to a captain only six months ago, which happened a mere week before I met Ariana D’Angelo. I knew before I’d spoken a single word to her that I would make her my bride.

So, that is what I did a week ago. I took a knee in front of my family, his men, other associates, and even Ari’s parents during celebration. I wanted the world to know who I chose to be mine. Her parents were pissed, but I didn’t give one fuck. My father was pleased, but that’s because he’s under the impression my bride-to-be can be molded into a wife fit for the future underboss of the family.

I fully expect to take over that role by the time I’m twenty, but in doing so, that means Phil’s life has to come to an end. He’s a piece of shit too, so forgive me if I don’t shed one fucking tear over his pending departure to Hell. He beats his wife for sport; talks down to her, embarrasses her in front of anyone he can. Unfortunately for her, she can’t just leave him. It’s a sin punishable by death in our life.

There is a lot that Ari has opened my eyes to, but that wasn’t one of them. I’ve always thought there was no place for that rule among us. People fall out of love just as quickly as they fall in it, so why does the woman have life-altering consequences, but the man does not?

That’ll change when I’m boss one day. I’ll make damn sure of it. Ari will make sure of it. As long as I have her by my side, I’ll be a better man.

I push my thoughts to the back of my mind when I see Phil leave from the driver’s side of his Mercedes 560 SEL. I followed my father’s underboss forty-five minutes ago to Brooklyn from my father’s brownstone in the city. I was heading home after sneaking Ariana back in her parents’ home when I saw Phil jogging down the front steps like he was issued an order that had to be carried out tonight. Something told me to follow him, so here I am, parked a block behind a well-known Russian nightclub and eatery.

When Phil heads in the direction I’m fairly certain I know he’s going, I pull out the handgun I have hidden below my seat and stuff it in the waistband of my slacks before getting out to follow him. Streets are bustling, but he detours down an alley that isn’t crowded with people.
