Chapter Thirty-Two
Wrath
Icouldn’t be happier for Sera and Blade. They both deserve all the happiness in the world, and it’s clear as day how they both feel about one another. Now we just have to deal with Sabbatini, and they’re free to live their lives without worry. That’s all I want for them both; they’ve experienced enough hurt and trauma for a lifetime. It’s their time to live peacefully now, and I will make sure that’s what happens. Even if I have to dismantle Sabbatini’s empire to make sure that’s what happens.
Watching Sera make her presence known to the bunnies was a thing of beauty. Maybe this will knock them all down to size, and if it doesn”t, I’m sure Sera will have no issues dealing with them. Again. I’m confident that at least most of them will keep their heads down now; the only one who probably won’t is Candice. You’d think after Sera snapped her wrist she”d behave herself, but I know her well enough to know that’s probably just made her more determined to cause issues for Sera. It’s something she will seriously regret if she does, because Sera isn’t just my sister in the eyes of the club; now she’s an Ol’ Lady too. She’s got more status than most, and I won’t have her disrespected. Leaving The Common Room, I head towards my office.
Just as I enter, I hear my office phone start to ring. Quickly making my way over to the desk, I pick up the phone and answer.
“Hello, Wrath speaking.”
“Hello Wrath.” I hear a male voice say through the phone. It’s a voice I wish I didn’t recognize, but unfortunately, I do. It’s none other than Sabbatini. It looks like Tech was right on the money about him contacting me.
“What do I owe this displeasure?”
“We need a meeting.”
I knew this was coming; he’s not going to just walk away from Sera without a fight. It”s tough luck for him because I’d never give him my sister. I”ll play along for now, though; he’ll soon realize it’s never going to happen at our meeting.
“That we do. Be at Inferno’s tomorrow morning at ten.”
“I’ll be there. See you soon, Wrath.”
I don’t even bother to reply; I just slam my office phone back down.
Out of every person I’ve met since I’ve been President, I can say without a doubt that Sabbatini is the one I hate the most. He’s the embodiment of a slimy mobster. I’ve met many different crime bosses over the years, and none have given me the feeling of distaste the way he did. He honestly believed he could force my hand because I was relatively new to being President when we first met. He soon fucking learned that wasn’t the case when he was one of only a handful that left the fateful meeting still breathing.
Sitting behind my desk, I activate my computer and pull up the direct text window to Tech. It’s so much easier than having to walk all the way to his cave. Especially when what I need are files, and he can just send them straight through to me. I don’t waste time typing a message asking for everything he’s collected on Sabbatini and his empire. I need as much information as possible if I’m going to formulate a plan that will have him backing off. I’m not stupid enough to believe he’ll just back off because I tell him too. He’s far too fucking cocky for that.
I’m really hoping that tomorrow’s meeting doesn’t end in a bloodbath like last time. I don’t particularly want to end up at war with Sabbatini, but if it comes down to it, I will. I’ll do anything to protect my sister from that monster.
As soon as the files come through, I send another message to Tech, asking him to arrange for all the Officers, Wreck, and Sera to be in my office in two hours. That should give me enough time to work through all this information.
Starting to read what Tech’s sent me, I realize Sabbatini is just as much a sleazeball as I remember; he’s still trafficking people, running drugs, and, oh, look, he’s started a prostitution ring. I should have done something about him years ago, but I didn’t feel it was the right time. When we had our confrontation, I didn’t have the resources and allies I’d need to end Sabbatini. That’s not the case now, though. Now I have allies all over the country, allies who, with one phone call, will help me end Sabbatini’s empire. Hell, even some of my allies are other mob bosses. Mob bosses with more morals than Sabbatini, but mob bosses all the same. I know for a fact that any of them would be happy to help end Sabbatini. He’s disliked even in his own circle.
He needs to heed my warning tomorrow, or everything he”s built will crumble around him. And I”ll stand there and watch with a smile on my face. I have no issue with ruining him. My family is the most important thing to me, and that’s not something that’s ever been hidden. It’s a known fact to everyone. So why he even believes I’d willingly hand him my sister, I don’t know. He’ll learn the error of his way, that’s for sure.
His face-to-face with Blade will also be one hell of a show. Blade was one of the members with me last time we dealt with him, and Sabbatini got to see firsthand just how lethal my weapon expert really is.
