Chapter Three: Brunello
My fist came down on Eleazar's face with a sickening crack from his nose to follow. Blood splattered all over my white shirt. Fuck. Another shirt to burn. I tossed his half conscious body to the garage floor, turning to wipe my face with a napkin in my pocket. "Emmett, Benjamin get him up". My baby brother and close friend grab him off the floor. Jasper was sitting on the hood of his Lincoln, watching with this impassive face of his. So Neutral it was scary. It never changed.
Emmett and Benjamin were holding his shoulder against the back of a stainless steel fold up to keep him up. "Eleazar. . .What the fuck happened to the deal we had?"
He spit on the floor, looking at me through a swelling eye. "I don't know…I swear. Henry told me you'd get 50%…"
"50%! 50 Mother fucking Percent." I grabbed his hair pulling him up. "His boss tells me 30% and that he would need help getting the shipment out of Panama! Id have to use my connection! Dirty My Hands!" I yell. "15 of my 50% was going to you for selling the guns under the counter. . ." I moved closer to his face. "How do I know you and this guy aren't skimming me of 20% of my profit?"
His eyes widen in fear. "No. . .No Edward I'd Never -" I let go of his hair to squeeze his throat. "Its because. . .your my favorite cousin and Carmen would hate me if I killed you that you are alive". I push him back again, Benjamin catching him.
"Ben get him cleaned up will yea. Then bring him home."
"Got it Ed." He said, before pulling him into my house. I turned to jasper and took of my shirt. Emmett snatched it. "Rose is waiting for me dick, I need to get the hell outta here." He whined. I rolled my eyes. "When she's got a ring, I'll consider it." Jasper handed me my a clean shirt. "Jazz make the deal, We don't use our connections. 40% is as low as we go." He nodded. "So Last night was-"
"Don't. Remind me." I shut him down. Dinner last night was the worst moment of my life. And I have had many bad experiences. I have been stabbed, shot. Ive been arrested twice and spent two weeks in jail. All of that was nothing compared to the awkward dinner I spent with my family and our two guest last night.
Well I'll be honest it was going pretty smoothly. My Parents loved Rosalie. Especially once my father started talking about Cars and she was right on his heels. Me and Bella talked little. Alice and My mother kept tearing her from me. I spent most of my night talking to 7 year old niece. Everything didn't go down hill until my mother opened her big mouth.
"Oh Bella Im so happy Edward brought you. He's been single to long". I damn near chocked to death drinking my Brunello. Bella was quick to clarify. "Oh no Mrs. Cullen Edward and I aren't dating". My mom looked surprised turning to me then Bella. "Eduardo é troppo spaventato*" Alice whispered in her whine glass, laughing. Bella smiled down at her. Everyone laughed. Hardy Har Har, very fucking funny. "Isabella ha chiesto Eduardo in una data**". Jasper said. Fucking back stabber. My mother gasped. "Eduardo Masen Cullen!"
"Dio Mio". Oh my God, save me from this torture.
"Eduardo chiedere Isabella in una data in questo istante***" My mother demanded.
" its quite alright." Bella said. "Edward doesn't have to do that".
"You speak Italian?" My mother asked. She nodded. "My mother…Her maiden name was Reneatta Salvatore. Im half Italian and I believe my father is German or Greek but he wouldn't know. He thinks he's native american, he hangs out on the reservation so much." She smiled.
After that I was called away and I ran out of the restaurant like a bat outta hell. Emmett dropped the girls of at there place after that. He said Bella looked a bit down after I left. I felt bad. I didn't want her to think I wanted to leave because of her.
"Hey asshole!" Jasper snapped in my face. "What?" I asked.
He shook his head at me. "Whats been up with you lately? This isn't a good time to be zoning out like this. Theres too much going on for that." He sighed. He's right.
After Emmett left and Ben got Eleazar cleaned up and sent him on his way, we met up in my office. My office was on the second floor of my house. I had a nice house in Long Island. A new two story. My office was on the first floor. Jasper was on my leather couch rolling a blunt, like we weren't about to talk business. "Biggie always said 'Never get high on your own supply". Ben said. Jasper shrugged and I sat behind my desk. "Yea well when you and Tia have a 7 year old and twins on the way you can tell me that again". Ben whistled. "Wrap it up next time."
"Yea shut the fuck up Benjamin". I laughed. "Alright Ladies, lets retract our claws we need to talk." I interrupt. Jasper lights and takes a long inhale. "Mm, I love the foreign shit". He sighs. I shake my head. "So I hear were expecting some troubles from Liam".
"Yeah, there has been some talk around…" Ben said.
"Well good I like talk. Whats going on".
"Liam's Daughter Maggie is engaged to Stefan." Jasper blew out. "You know what that means…"
I sighed. "Re-drawing". I hate when this happens. Re-drawing only happens after someone surrenders turf, sells it or a merger. In this Case The Irish and the Romanians through marriage. "Bids will be put down. Liam's wanted our blocks for the longest. The Romanians have the fire power if we don't agree. He probably pimped little Maggie out."
"Isn't Maggie like 19." Ben said.
"Yup." I think for a moment. "Let Uncle Aro know before the wedding. He will let Marcus and Casius know. Casius has wanted the Romanians out for a long time now but we will hope it doesn't come to that." Benjamin walked over to my liquor cabinet pulling out my whiskey and three shot glasses. "Now that, thats settled theres one more thing and then we drink to this shit." Benjamin said. "Business is good. Money is well but this whole thing with Eleazar." He tisked pouring the shots. "Now we all know Eleazar is as loyal as it comes. He's family but the guys he's messing with…I know you want to make the deal but..."
I nod. "I know Ben, I trust him. Eleazar just needed to be reminded not to come to me unless the shit is full proof. The Mexicans won't look out for him like family will." I patted his arm. "Now we poor this shot and you mother fuckers get out my house. I got work tomorrow."
*****BD&MG*****
I pulled into The Firm early the next day. After about three shots I got Jasper and Ben out of my house and to there wives. After I fed my dog Sammy I went to bed around 11.
When I wasn't in charge of the family business I worked at my father and uncles law firm, Volturi & Cullen Family Firm. Most of the family worked here. Most of my cousins; Jane, Alec and his wife Gianna. Demetri and my niece was interning for me, Tanya was Eleazer's daughter. The only people who didn't work at the office were Alice. She was a fashion designer. Twilight was the name of her label and her kids line Eclipse. Then there was Carman who was a Chef and owned two restaurants one here and another in Boston, Eleazers wife.
My Family owned the whole building but the first two floors were mostly Carmen's Restaurant and the lobby. The rest of the building was broken up. My fathers clinic was the third and fourth floor. The fifth floor was A friend of mine James' Physical therapy and gym. His Wife Victoria was head of our Pro Bono firm on the sixth floor and the seventh was were the main office was. The eighth was filled with meeting room and the ninth was were our files were kept. To Much to keep track of but I did it. I was responsible for mostly finance for all the businesses. I haven't had a case in three years and Ive been a lawyer since I was 22. Im only 25.
As I was walking into the elevator Jane ran in almost breaking her ankle. "Damn Jane who's chasing you?" I laugh as she sets her bag down, to fix herself. "Im late". she said, pushing the third floor and picked up her bag. I shook my head. "Its 6:00 Jane". I say before drinking my coffee. "Not that late you Ass hat, Im late." The doors open to the third floor, the only people there are the receptionist. "Oh….OH! Oooooo" I follow her out, piecing it together. I can be late for this. "Uncle C is gonna murder Felix's Big ass for this" . Felix was a big mother fucker compared to Jane. Jane is like 5'5 and Felix is like Emmett's height and both of them are huge at like 6'5. Im only 6'3. He's also Casius, favorite killer. Felix had been doing work for Casius since he was 15. Casius sent Felix to watch after his Little girl while she went off to college. Im sure Casius knows there dating but not even engaged and pregnant. Tsk Tsk.
"Felix doesn't know and Neither does my father."
"Does Zia know?" I ask. Zia Dora would probably kill her.
"Hell No!". She leans over the receptionist desk, her short dress rising. I pull it down. "This is how your ass got in this predicament now". She ignores me. "Is in?" She asks Sabrina. She shakes her head. "No not yet". She storms away to the elevator. "Why don't you just take a test-"
"Eduardo Shut the fuck up!" she hissed quietly. "Why the hell did I tell you anything?" I smiled. "Because Im your favorite cousin." I pressed the elevator button. When we went inside she sighed leaning against the door. "When Zio Carlisle comes in I'll just ask for the test and take it. If I am I'll tell him."
"Uncle C?" I ask.
"Hell No! Casius Volturi and Athenadora Volturi will kill me if I'm not married before I have a child." She explains. I put my arm around her as we walk out the Elevator. "Eh its okay cousin. I'll help you if you want". She smiled at me and I kissed her forehead.
When I walked into the main Lobby I stopped. Rosalie and Isabella were sitting on the couch, Emmett was holding Rosalie and Ben was stroking Bella's back. "Edward" Ben said to Emmett to get his attention. Bella looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Whats going on here?" I ask.
"Its the Diner Ed…It was Broken into early this morning and They burned it down". Emmett said. ". . .Mr. Medicci was working late..."
"He didn't Make it Edward". Ben finished.
