Chapter 4 - Dominic Buys The Expensive Boston Italian Restaurant
Lorenzo Bianke pushed his way through the panicked crowd of patrons, sweating profusely under his collar.
“Mr. Costello, please, I am so sorry! We will fire her immediately, ban her from the North End forever!” Lorenzo begged.
Dominic turned his cold slate eyes away from Khloe and fixed them squarely on the restaurant owner.
“You run a pathetic establishment, Lorenzo, allowing wealthy rats to torment people just trying to survive,” Dominic stated flatly.
“Please, Mr. Costello, have mercy—my family built this restaurant over thirty years!” Lorenzo stammered, wringing his hands.
“How much debt do you owe the syndicate from your underground card games downstairs?” Dominic asked smoothly.
Lorenzo’s face turned the color of stale ash as his secret financial ruin was exposed publicly.
“I... I can pay it back next month, Dominic, I swear on my mother’s grave!” Lorenzo whimpered.
“Consider it paid in full, because as of right now, I own this building and everything inside it,” Dominic declared.
