Chapter 202
My eyes narrowed and my teeth clenched together.
“You’re going back to Sicily!”
“What?”
“You’re going back to Sicily. It’s Paul’s order.”
He laughing scoffed, his eyes darkening with resentment. “What the fuck was De Luca doing in your bedroom, Nikolai? Are you sleeping with the enemy?”
“Why do you think that you can question me, Marco? You are the one who answers to me! I have had enough of you acting like you’re the fucking boss here. You’re the second in command, you’ll always be the second,” I stepped closer to him, glaring into his eyes, “You are going back to Italy and that’s final. Go and pack your fucking bags!”
He laughed, shaking his head, “Why the fuck do you want me gone?” he raised his voice as if he wanted everyone around to hear us.
I gave him an impassive look, “Because you disobeyed a direct order from me and it’s not the first time that had happened. I’m done with you not showing me the respect I deserve as someone who is treasured by Leah. Março, I know that for the longest time you thought that Leah Salvatore will hand over everything to you and then one day I suddenly popped out of nowhere and ruined your plans. But it’s done now, it’s over, Marco. Man up and accept it. The sooner you accept it the better it will be for you or your time will end the when I inform Alessandro everything.
He laughed like I have told him the funniest joke in the world. His hostile behavior pissed me off, I crossed my arms over my chest and waited for him to tell me what was so fucking funny.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t get the joke…”
“Just say it…”
I lifted an eyebrow, “Say what?”
“Say that THE ONLY REASON YOU WANT ME GONE IS THAT YOU WANT TO FUCK THAT ASSHOLE WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY ABOUT IT,” he raised his voice even higher.
Now that made me laugh, “Why would I feel guilty about it? I can fuck him or anyone I want, why would I feel guilty about it?!”

“Because you are fucking WEAK, you take a big game, Nikolai, but that’s all there is to you. I don’t fucking care what you want me to do, I’m not leaving until ALESSANDRO DE LUCA IS DEAD.”
I was suddenly taken aback by the words that left his mouth. Hearing him say Alessandro and dead in the same sentence rubbed me off the wrong way. It made my blood boil.
In a second, I fisted his shirt, “When did it become about killing him?! It was never about killing him!”
“Not by you“, I added.
A self–satisfied smirk formed over his face, “I’m beginning to doubt your loyalty to Leah…” He spoke.
I squinted my eyes at him, looking at him with as much disgust as I could. “Go back to Italy, and fucking stay there. It’s a fucking warning, Marco… I pushed him back with my fist.
“Or what? You’ll kill me?” he chuckled, ‘I’d like to see you try. You are nothing but De Luca’s gay bitch, Nikolai.”
My pulse raced so hard that it felt like it will burst out of my chest. I pulled out my gun from my holster and shot him in the foot. It was a

mercy, it was for Paul, or else I would have shot him between the eyes.
He yelled out a string of profanities before he tried to launch himself on me, a couple of soldiers ran in our direction, immediately holding Marco back from me.
He pointed a finger at me, “You’re going to fucking regret this!
“Throw him in one of the cells and let him fucking bleed to his death!” I ordered.
“What happened here?” I heard Dante’s voice from behind me, “Marco?” he looked extremely concerned, staring at his brother’s foot bleeding out profusely.
“DON’T YOU GUYS SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?”
Marco yelled out to the men around him, “He brought us to our death, he will fucking hand us to his husband to do as he pleases! Alessandro De Luca killed ruined the Salvatore and killed Nikolai’s parents, and instead of taking his revenge, he had been fucking him while all of us are trying to protect him from the same fucking man. He doesn’t need our protection when the only enemy can get in and out of our home without any repercussions! He is trying to get us killed!”
“GET YOU KILLED?!” I couldn’t help but shout at him, I was frustrated and pissed off, “Since the day we got here, Alessandro De Luca hasn’t touched a single one of our men, why? Because of me. With a snap of his finger, he can wipe out every single one of us. I have seen his power. I’ve lived in his power. If you think you can face him on your own, then you’re welcome to do as you please but once he fucks you up, don’t come running back to me with your tail between your fucking legs. You want to take all these men to their death, be my fucking guest!”
Marco smirked, I could see the sweat coating his skin as he lost more blood, “Aren’t you the one who told me that as long as we have Antonio, we can control De Luca?” he tilted his head to the side, putting on a mocking frown.
