The Mafia's Doctor

<-27->

<-I-L-A-<<<
I explained everything as to why my brother was here without Matteo saying anything. Actually, even when I was done, he didn't say a word. He sat on the bed next to me thinking.

>>>-M-A-T-T-E-O->
"Can you say something?" Ila asked.

Ila stressed on making it clear that her case was only about her license being wrongfully provoked. However, there was no way that the whole thing wouldn't fall back on me. Yet, I know how Ila's license was important to her. She went through medical school and training all just to make a living off of helping people.

"If you take it to court, Il Bisbiglio will surely come up and-"

"I'm not taking it to court."

My furrowed eyebrows became raised, questioning her to elaborate. "Why not?"

"Do you want me to?"

"No. You don't need to. You already got everything you need here. You're still practicing your medical stuff here while getting paid at a higher price in addition of living in the mafia house with the benefits of a luxurious life."

<-I-L-A-<<<
"Exactly," I agreed with Matteo.

I was so opposed to liking the mafia because of the morals I had before I joined. Even though it's a cruel and wicked system of criminals, it was simply a very serious business. However, I know that I'm seeing the best part of organized crime: the food, the money, the cars. I've yet seen the killings, the drugs, and the desperate people. If it's kept away from me, in all honesty, I think I'm fine with having my occupation as the mafia's doctor.

"I have Marcella, Gio, Aiden, and you. The mafia life I'm living isn't so bad, I can get used it."

I saw the corners of his mouth lift up into a small smile.

"What are we going to do about your brother?" Matteo asked.

"I'm planning to stay over at my apartment with Emmet until I convince him to leave."

He frowned. "How fast can you convince him?"

"I don't know, maybe in a couple of days?"

Matteo's phone rang just as he picked up his phone to check the time.

"It's two. You should go downstairs and grab lunch." He told me before picking up the phone and leaving my room.

I was about to follow him out it I realized that I wasn't ready. I quickly went to my bathroom and into my closet to change. By the time I left my room, it was 2:30 and I was in casual wear with brushed teeth and combed hair.

I ran into Matteo at the elevator. He has already ended the call and changed out of his sweats into a pair of black jeans and a white fitting T-shirt.

"When am I going to meet your sister?" I asked, remember the reason as to why he left to Italy in the first place.

"When Serena decides to come back from her friend's house. They haven't seen each other for quite some time and trust me when I say that gossiping takes awhile."

We reached the dining room and got our food. I reached for the pizza while Matteo had a burger on his plate along with other side dishes.
