Code Of Love

Adrik
The room was filled with grunting sounds. These youngsters with very able bodies are grunting like old men. Old men don't even grunt like that. Why was I here today? Ooh yeah right because my stepfather asked me to.

It's been like four months now since I got back from Los Angeles. My wedding is close by and every single moment I try sleeping I dream of her. I never found her so I lost myself. You look at me and see Adrik, the scary Russian mafia heir.

But those who know me, they now look at me and see Adrik the heir turned assassin turned crazy. It's not my fault they owe the Russian mafia, I just collected our debts myself instead of sending errand boys.

"You. What the actual fuck are you doing? This is not a ballet class okay. Get the fuck out of my face now before I shoot your brains out." The scrawny boy walked swiftly whimpering.

Pathetic

The Russian mafia has a special program for teens and youths who wanna join the mafia. Approved by the president himself, secretly of course. They train and most of them end up being guards. They basically sign their lives away.

Some are here, well it's mostly because their parents owed debts they couldn't afford and paid with their own sons or stole their nephews and sold them away to pay their debts.

"Remember, you're training to be a mafia guard, assassin, whatever the fuck it is the mafia needs you for. The more you survive, the better for your families. They get to see another day."

Heavy grunts filled the room. This is a promising young team. They mostly get hired as security guards in our clubs or hotels or wherever before joining the actual mafia security team. My mother started the fucking program and Anton and I went through it. Well mostly me.

My father was right, Nikolai does know I'm not his son and he wants to steal what's rightfully mine like he ripped it away from my mother. I won't let that happen. He'll be dead before he even plans to kill me.

The boys teamed up into groups of two and tested their strength against each other. I already have some very promising people on this team. It might be the last I train before I take over and most of them might get to work with my kids.

Speaking of kids, Nikolai is really pushing it. The other night Jezebel tried drugging me so she could finally fuck me. But I'm always ten steps ahead of her. I hacked into her phone so I knew it would happen. She actually put sugar in my drink and the drugs were already in hers.

I heard her crying the other day to her friend how she's confused and doesn't understand why the drugs didn't work. So now she's paranoid her friend is trying to steal me from her. I might be crazy, but my heart belongs to only one woman.

"Alright that's enough. See you all tomorrow at the same time. Class dismissed." They all stood at ease and saluted before leaving the room in a line. Like I said, it's a promising group of boys.

"I have news. Bad news. Our shipment in New York got blown up and Los Angeles is in fucking chaos. Your father needs a word now." Pedro said.

I followed him to my stepfather's office and I was already tired and he hadn't even said a word yet. "Adrik, this is the fourth attack. You still don't even know who's attacking us. And you expect me to hand over the empire to you?" He asked.

"I already know who attacked the last three times. If you would check your bloody email for once you would know. But instead you're busy finding the next whore to wet your dick." I yelled.

"Don't you ever talk to me like that again, ever in your life. Or I'll cut your tongue out." He was breathing so heavily and the vein on his temple popped. Good, I need him worked up.

"I know you know the truth! And you're trying to replace me with Anton?" I said in Greek since I was pretty confident no one knows Greek in the room apart from me and him.

"You're a bastard. I knew the moment I saw your ugly eyes at the hospital. I should have killed you and your mother." He said with a smirk on his face and I threw the whiskey glass towards him but the bastard didn't even flinch.

"I hope you know that one day I will kill you." His smirk immediately dropped and I saw pure fear in his eyes. Fuck yeah I like that. I like that he's scared of me. I really enjoy that.

"This must be another small rival gang. I'll handle it like I always do. That way, everyone will know, including those who plan on attacking us, that the heir of the Russian empire is a force to reckon with." I added before leaving his office.

Fuck, I let him get into my head. Kristof is not gonna like that. I'm getting acquainted with my biological father. Especially after finding out what I found out about him.

"Nikolai is shaken. It's good to keep him on his toes but not a lot. I don't know what you said in that foreign language, but he's actually scared of you." One thing I like about Callahan is that he can somehow read people's emotions.

My best friend happened to have gone through an FBI training program and his favorite thing throughout the program was how he discovered he has actually been reading people based on their emotions his entire life. One more reason as to why I didn't kill him.

"Also just a reminder that the wedding is next month so that means in two weeks. But first, let's go back to Los Angeles. We have meetings to attend."

At this point I should just hire him as my assistant coz he does so much than my real assistant. Also why did the mention of the wedding in two weeks time make my heart skip a beat? Why the fuck would I be excited about that?
