Kapitel 404: Not his Place

Jovani seemed to think long and hard about this new information. He'd only been down for a few hours, and Marcus had already decided he was the new boss. Tch. That was different from how things worked. 

But, not different from the way that Marcus worked. The other cousin had never been gone at following the rules. Always one to think that he could bend them here and there where it best fit him. 

"The relationship is between you and Lena. Marcus may try and do what he wants, but he isn't the person who has the final say." Jovani sat up in bed, ignoring the ache in his ribs. 

"Jovani, it seems you fail to forget that Marcus doesn't care about how the rules work," Richard interjected, earning him a roll of his eyes from the Vedova Nera boss. 

"And you seem to forget that it doesn't fucking matter. Rules are rules in place for a reason." The mafioso's expression indicated that he hardly believed that counted for much.
