Never let them know your next move.

There should not be a woman tied up in my basement.
There should never be a woman tied up in my basement.
Scrubbing a hand down my face, I make a mental, color-coded note to
teach my consigliere, Corbin, that when he says I have a surprise, generally
that refers to something good. Like a fifteen minute break between
meetings, during which I can reassess all my life choices.
Ever since some syndicate called the Maxim Project made my parents
disappear three months ago, I’ve had two options: take over their job and
become Boss of the Veleno family, or get the heck out of here.
For reasons I still can’t explain, I took up the bloody mantle of my
birthright and forged ahead as though it doesn’t weigh a thousand pounds.
I’ve spent grueling hours ignoring migraines in order to redefine our
methods, map new laws, and create laminated posters for the meeting room
walls.
Not a day goes by where I don’t at least mildly regret not changing my
name and skipping the country.
All this is to say: if Corbin thinks this is a joke—after everything we’ve
been through—it is not funny.
If it’s not a joke, having a woman tied up in my basement breaks every
guideline I painstakingly alphabetized and compiled into a personal
handbook for all capos and leading officers.
It took me seven sleepless nights to make that stupid handbook, and
Corbin proofread it, so I would love to assume that since we do happen to
be working day and night to get rid of trafficking in the area, my few trusted
family members wouldn’t organize this kind of surprise as a joke.
Alas. Evidence speaks otherwise.
I’m going to be pissed if I need to make another informational poster.
As it stands, I’m running out of wall space.
Not to mention I have more important things to do than doubt my
knowledge of color theory and what fonts pair well together.
The bitter scent of stale iron scrapes down the back of my throat as I
approach the small woman strapped to the rough chair in the center of this
cement room.
The thuds of my boots reverberate in the space, and the single, dim bulb
overhead highlights her swallow.
She’s blindfolded, the cloth tied against her straight, short dark hair.
Tousled, the sharp cut of her bob follows the lines of her jaw and pierces
toward her pointed chin on either side of her freckled face. Full lips. Petite
nose. Cute.
She is cute.
But Corbin should know better.
It goes against everything I thought we stood for.
After the Maxim Project overturned the hierarchy in Veleno, I’ve been
exhausted, stressed, gripping the fraying strands of this family together.
Even if there’s no love lost between me and Veleno’s old leadership, there
are many in my ranks who preferred my parents’ methods to mine.
Particularly because mine don’t deal in humans. And humans will
always be the source of the most money
