The Italian whinery looked cold, dark and depressing even the great vines seemed to droop in mourning of my grandfathers death. There was a chill in the air the kind of chill that runs down your spine and makes you shiver. I could hear people talking downstairs family,friends,alliances and money grubbers all here to wish their condonlances to the quote on quote family. Standing in my grandfathers office looking out the sliding glass doors to his balcony that looks over his vineyard hugging myself trying to rid myself of this cold chill.
The flashes over my grandfathers funeral keep running through my head. The big grey catherdral like Catholic church, the rows of people dressed in black and lined up outside the church to watch as my grandfathers brown Italian coffin was carried out to be put in the back of a fancy black hurst. My grandfather was more then just a rich whinery owner he was the don of one of the famous Italian mafias. Life sure has shity timing I was so happy I just got released to go back to wrestling and Jesse had just set up my first match back against a Russian female wrestler a woman named Dasha. That’s around the time when I got the call that I had to return to Italy that I had to return to Italy for my grandfathers funeral.
Hearing footsteps entering the office I quickly wipe some tears away from my blue eyes as I turn to see who joined me. There standing in front of me in this huge office was my oldest son Anthony with a sad look on his face. I could tell he came up here to get away from the crowd like I did He wore his black and blue Italian suit like a man. Since Anthony came to live with Jesse and I Anthony has really warmed up to his step father you couldn’t tell that Jesse wasn’t his real father. From the way Anthony looked I could tell he was holding back the tears trying to be tough unlike Anthony I will not hold back on Dasha in my first match back in New Edge. Walking up to Anthony, wrapping my arms around him, laying my chin on his head and closing my eyes my heart was aching for my son. Death is never an easy thing to deal with especially when your a
young kid his age just like losing is not easy to bare but Dasha will have to learn to bare it well.
“It’s okay Anthony it’s okay to cry now it wont make you look weak not in front of me.”
I could feel Anthony clinging to the back of my black office dress and I could feel his tears dripping on the front of my dress. He finally let himself mourn my proud son unlike me I hide my tears and my frustrations until I ether take it out on a punching bag or an opponent like Dasha. I almost feel bad for her because I will really be needing to kick some ass when it’s time for our match but from what I understand she was trained in Russia so I am sure she can handle it.
“Mom I wish Dad was here.”
“I know Anthony Jesse wanted to come but with the show coming up and with my return planned your Dad has been really busy.”
Anthony jumps away from me when we hear the door open to the office he then tries to pull him self together trying to act tough even though his red eyes give him away. He reminds me so much of my grandfather and his looks. The same black hair, big brown eyes and his skin tanned like he was kissed by the son. It caught me by suprise when I see my grandfathers lawyer, my money grubbing Uncle Merrick, four of my grandfathers men and my dear aunt Mary. With all of these people in my grandfathers office it made the office feel rather small. My Aunt Mary walked over to me with half a smile and nodded when she motioned for Anthony to follow her out of the room. My Aunt has been fighting cancer for a while but because it was in her throat she had lost her ability to speak she was my fathers baby sister and she took care of Anthony for me while I was trying to make a name for my self. A name for my self well that of course is no longer a problem as Dasha should be well aware of who the hell Scarlet Styles is and if she isn’t she will soon find out.
“So what’s this all about? I don’t see how this has anything to do with me do you guys want me to leave?”
“No Scarlet this is about your grandfathers will and the quote on quote family.”
The lawyer motions for me and my uncle to sit in the two big black cushin like chairs across from what was my grandfathers big red oak desk. After we where seated the lawyer takes his seat behind the desk in my grandfathers chair which I didn’t like much. The four men stood around the office in black suits. They looked like something out of men in black kind of like how Dasha’s chalk outline will look when I am done with her. I didn’t like the tension in the air it was thick and almost sufficating. My grandfathers lawyer was a big muscle type man and he handled all the quote on quote family legal affairs he was one of the best Italian lawyers money could by hands downs. Grandfather always called him Mr.Mullins. Mr.Mullins pulled put his briefcase up on my grandfathers desk and pulled out some papers.
“First I want to say I’m sorry for the familys loss your grandfather was a good man and led his family well now first before I get down to the details the don had already had a meeting with some of his alliances and told them what I am about to tell you. They are all in support of his last wishes and couldn’t be more happier. But, let me tell you that this will is final and Iron Clad so if you are thinking about fighting it don’t bother because you won’t win.”
As he goes through the legal mumbo jumbo I sit there feeling out of it like it was all a bad dream that I was just going to wake up soon so I could concentrate on my damned match with that damned Russian named Dasha. I wanted to dig up some more information on her and her life in Russia but all I had gathered so far was that she was born in Russia, likes to play chest and had some sort of Military training. Like I give two shits about her Military training shes about to face an expert in the game of what we call wrestling this isn’t boot camp bitch.
“Now Scarlet you are obviously wondering why you are here.”
Hearing my name out of his mouth pulled me back into reality and to realize that this was no dream. My grandfather is dead and there is a whole bunch of people downstairs wanting to know who the next don is going to be and by the way things are playing out here in front of my eyes right now I don’t think I like where this is going unlike Dasha over in New Edge who has no idea where shes headed.
“Yes, Mr.Mullins I had wondered why you wanted me in here. I know my father was the only child before he died and that my father was the next in line to be don but, my father for one didn’t want to lead the family because he wanted to pursue his career in boxing which eventually took his life.”
Mr.Mullins nods his head and sighs like most do when my father gets mentioned in these parts. His life was ended to soon all because the damned dumb ass refused to stop fighting and get better leaving me and my mother alone. Even Though my mother didn’t approve of my grandfather and the quote on quote family. But, because of my grandfathers money she let me be in there lives so she could collect an allowance money from him. I will never be that stupid like father was for part of the reason I was gone from NEW so long was because I recovering from a damned spinal injury. I had to have two surgeries which required a lot of time off and physical therapy. I would never risk my life quite like my father did I actualy stopped and healed. But, now I am as I said healed and Dasha is on my list of people in my way of getting back to where I wanna be in New Edge. So if that Russian bitch wants to be in my way I will just have to knock her the fuck out of my way.
“Well that may be true Scarlet but you are still your fathers Daughter and Anthony the only grandson so everything from the whinery to the quote on quote family business has been left to you.”
My Uncle stood up out of his chair you could see the anger and jealously all over his face he didn’t even give Mr.Mullins time to finish his sentence all I could do was sit there in shock even though I had a feeling that this was where it was going but now its still shock.
“No fucking way her father didn’t even want the business she’s nothing but a fucking whore and look at it this way a woman running the family business fucking bullshit. My brother should of left it to me I have three sons who are very capable of leading this family not this god damned woman.”
Before I even got up to punch him in his fucking face one of my grandfathers men had a gun to his head, cocked and ready to shoot. My uncle quickly shuts up rearanges his tie and sits back down. The anger in me was rising who the fuck did he think he was talking about me like that? Does he even fucking know me my husband is a fucking owner of a multi million dollar wrestling company I have been a four time Tras-Atlantic Champion. I can knock people on there asses quicker then most men I could probaly take him out in barely one blow. Not to mention did he forget I did mafia work for my grandfather I have busted my ass for this quote on quote family while my piece of shit Uncle just sat back gambling away parts of the money I’m not stupid. I have paid attention I understand why my grandfather wouldn’t of wanted to leave my uncle the family business for all the money would be gone much like Dashas head at Ignite quicker then you could blink.
“I wasn’t finished now Scarlet your grandfather is giving this family business to you in thoughts that you would run it until Anthony is old enough to take over as Don. As the only grandson he is technically the air but technically he is under age by many years still so it all falls to you. Now your grandfather wished that you would keep giving your aunt and uncle there allowances then there’s your aunts medical bills he wished for you to keep paying these. Now if you truly don’t want this you can pull away now but then everything is left to your grandfathers brother or as we in Italy say your uncle or in America your great uncle accept for a share of some money that would still be due to you. So what do you have to say for your self there Scarlet?”
Oh my god I was freaking out what do I say? I new the life of my family well did I want this for Anthony? Could I handle this a long with NEW when I am just coming back? Of course I fucking could I am Scarlet god damned Styles the Daughter Anthony the famous boxer and the wife of Jesse fucking Styles. Oh my god Jesse what is he going to think about all of this? But, I can’t really call him right now I have to make a decision on my own sigh I wish this decision didn’t have to come right now and I could just be focusing on fucking up Dashas face but nooooo.
“Mr.Mullins I gladly accept but I am not giving up on wrestling ether I will do both and when Anthony gets of age it will be up to him to decide if he wants to be the next don. I will let my uncle keep his allowance as long as his mouth stays shut and he plays by my rules if not I will show him a preview right here and now of what I am going to do in the ring to that little Russian fucker Dasha. And, I of course will take care of Aunt Mary I wouldn’t dream of hurting her after all she’s done for me.”
“Good to hear Scarlet your grandfather and I expected no less from you the new dawn of this family. Now all you need to do is sign here and here on these contracts giving you legal right of this whole estate and everything that goes with it.”
Taking a pen from Mr.Mullins signing on both dotted lines this is without question going to be interesting between wrestling again and being don of an Italian family. My biggest worry right now is Jesse and what he is going to say about all of this because in a way me being don makes him don too because he is my other half. I better fucking call him when I am done here so we can start making plans and I can get back to prearing for my match against Dasha. Laying the pen down on the desk Mr.Mullins now stands and shakes my hand.
“I would like to congradulate you Scarlet on your new posistion it wil be interesting working with you Mrs.Styles now Don of this Italian family.”
