Prologue

Lucifer “Lucky” Agostino

“Tatianna and her friend are begging for us to take them out. You
game?” I could hear the girls’ incessant giggling in the background.
They were easy women and easy was boring as of late.
I needed a challenge. I preferred to work for my dinner. What
primal, alpha lion wanted to have his meal cut and prepared for him?
I wanted the chase before the kill. The adrenaline of said chase
coursing blood through my veins making me come alive.
Not with Tatianna and her plastic-idiot followers. They were all
the same. Their daddies were rich, allowing access to the same
social circles. A false premeditation that they were my equals. They
weren’t. They were easy lays—a tussle between the sheets—to take
the stress of business off my shoulders. Nothing more nor anything
permanent. Although Tatianna was the “boss-bitch” of said circle,
she held no appeal to me. She made it desperately clear she wanted
a future—a want I didn’t share with her.
Her father was rich and powerful from his legitimate business. My
father was rich and powerful from our illegal business. And we
fucking owned New York. Her father was a weak man with an
incomparable power. Her mother was a whore, hunting any dick to
swallow that wasn’t her husband’s. You’d think after Tatianna walked
in on me—balls deep in her mother—she’d register my lack of
feelings. Instead, she got more desperate. More plastic surgery,
more degrading sexual positions and once even offering a threesome
with her own mother—then later claiming she was drunk and joking.
She was neither of those things. Merely a whore seeking a title
and a powerful husband. Neither would she ever get from me.
My father, Mario Agostino, emigrated from Italy when he was just
a young boy. Wanting to build an empire and a powerful family to
reign supreme in the United States. He started with offering muscle
and startup funds for other immigrants to build their own lives. It
amassed into an empire of power, wealth and fear. Several legitimate
businesses later and our illegal weapons distribution made us a
power no one could touch.
And I was Lucifer aka “Lucky”, his eldest son. The future of
the Agostino family reign in New York. I made a name for myself
through fear and respect. My last name just solidified the backing of
power to my throne. Growing up under my father’s reign I learned a
lot of promising lessons. How powerful he was and how easily it
could be taken from him. Never hesitating to get my hands dirty, I
made sure everyone knew just who I was. Agostino or not, I was
not to be fucked with.
“Yeah. I’ll meet you at the club. I’ve got some business to tend to
first.” I hung up before changing my mind thanks to the female
squeals.
A shipment of assault rifles was unaccounted for and I needed
my father’s sources for Intel. No one was dumb enough to steal from
me, that much I was damn sure. However, this wasn’t the first time
a shipment had been “found” by some lesser street kid looking for a
payout. After reveling in chaos and pain—delivered by my hand—it
took the idiot twelve hours of torture to give me what I wanted. His
assumption was “finding” wasn’t the same as stealing.
He wanted into my fold, wanted to become one of my foot
soldiers. He was beaten, burned and sliced apart for twelve hours
before he confessed his sins. His right hand losing three fingers was
his undoing. I wanted to send a message that thieves weren’t
welcome in my crew. An eye for an eye, so to speak. Evidently
someone out there was dumb enough to test me again. They didn’t
call me the devil just because I looked good in red ties. No, it was
the blood on my hands and the fear I instilled. They called me il
diavolo for a reason, I was the Italian-fucking-devil.
I sent those who trespassed against me to the burning fires
of hell, to suffer for their sins.
Heading down the hallway of the Agostino family compound, I
searched for answers. My bedroom took up most of the second
story. I had an entire wing to myself overlooking the east end of the
property; several hundreds of acres stretched through rolling hills,
gardens and my mother’s horse stables. I also owned a penthouse in
the city about forty minutes away from the compound. It was used
for business and was where I brought my women. No bitch was
worthy enough of the family compound.
The compound often brought a welcoming peace to the chaos
that was our family. It was my solace away from the noise, the fast-
paced streets and the danger lurking in every alleyway. Being a man
in my position came with a ton of enemies. Those seeking the power
and life you’ve built. I was never safe. Always sleeping with one eye
open, waiting for the next puttana who dared themselves worthy of
taking on the devil.
My four-post bed was a California king covered in black silk
sheets and mahogany wooden posts. All my furniture matched the
shining mahogany, even my oversized desk on the far wall. The open
room worked as my bedroom, office and a dining room. Two walk-in
closets were filled to the brim with suits and dress apparel. One of
the many things my father instilled in me from a young age was to
dress the part you wanted in life.
I wanted to be the powerful and successful businessman people
envied and feared. I desired control in all things. My perfectly crisp
suits down to my overshined shoes showed the image of a
controlled man. Smart, calculated and prepared. That was why I was
Mario Agostino’s prodigal son. The very continuance of our family
legacy. Amassing power in newer and prosperous business dealings.
My soldiers, my piezans, were the muscle under my command.
Never allowing those under us a second to doubt who held the
power.
“Don’t tell me you’re heading out to meet Tatianna.” Leaning
against the doorway, Sienna, my younger sister, practically snarled
venom. Had she been born a boy she would be giving me a run for
my money for the Agostino throne.
She was too smart for her own good and just as cutthroat in her
own business dealings. Her aspirations had been to get out from
under the Agostino limelight and create a name for herself. She
graduated top in her class in college and was now running a
technology super company—capable of more shit than my brain
could understand. Surveillance, creating apps, building super
computers and insane technology that she would patent then sell to
the highest bidder. A technological genius doing the dirty work for
the family’s background checks and pertinent Intel.
If our family wasn’t so against police, she’d be working for the
government.
She had beauty and brains. For as smart as she was, she was ten
times more beautiful. Sharing the same Agostino blue-steel eyes the
entire family possessed. The stories on the streets spoke of our cold
blue-grey eyes setting men on fire with one glance. She stood tall—
under my six-three height—at about five-ten and was built strong.
She trained with the best of the best in the ring precisely as I did.
She worked her body and her brain just as hard as she did her
business dealings. She was a powerhouse, wrapped up in a designer
decorated package of dark chestnut hair and perfectly fitted Chanel
silk blouses.
“If she was smart, she’d leave you alone and chase Marco. His
dumbass would believe he knocked her up and run away to get
married.” She saw the gold digger and power-hungry mind that
Tatianna possessed. Marco, our baby brother, was the youngest of
the four Agostino children and the most likely to be killed for
stupidity. He left the business to the rest of the family so he could
act a fool and chase bitches.
“I fear the mere thought of that happening.” I cringed, shaking
my head. Chuckling, she headed down the main staircase towards
the marble foyer.
“Father wanted you in his office before you left.” At the bottom of
the stairs I nodded, kissing her forehead. She turned and headed
towards the family room in the back of the house.
My father’s office was in the front of the house next to the front
door. He always said his business cohorts didn’t need to wander his
family’s home when business was concluded. Especially since
sometimes those meetings ended in bloodshed. It allowed his
security to escort them right out the front door and away from his
family. I’d seen people escorted out smearing blood on the white
marble foyer more times than I could count.
The foyer was left plain for that exact reason. Nothing for people
to break or damage on their way out. Solid white pillars in the
corners and a door opposite his office to a simple half-bath. One of
his armed guards stood outside the door, nodding in respect. His
concentration never breaking his perusal of potential threats. Mario
Agostino had a strong following of men who both feared and
respected him. He ran his empire with a firm, “no bull-shit” hand but
treated his men well. That was why he was such a force. Those men
came from nothing and could now take care of their families because
of him.
The office door opened quickly, hammering into the wall with
such force that both of us pulled our weapons. My thoughts rattled
for a second as a thin girl, with silky hair as black as night, ran past
heading for the bathroom. She slammed that door behind her while
two armed-guards left the office to stand outside.
She was a tiny slip of a girl, too. She looked no more than
sixteen and had more hair than body. Her black hair fell to her mid
back—thick and full—but looked soft to the touch. Her crying was
muffled by the door but it couldn’t hide her uncontrollable pained
sobs.
What the hell was going on?
“This is the only deal I am willing to make, Anthony. This is the
only gift I will take to save your family.” My father’s voice held power
making no mistake of his command. Mario planned to take this
illusive gift or Anthony be damned.
“I said you had a deal. The gift for the docks.” I recognized the
answering voice. Anthony Moretti.
The Moretti family was the closest ruling family in New York, still
nowhere near our empire. They often fought us for power, but they
were only allotted as much as my father deemed necessary. I never
understood why we didn’t wipe them off the face of the Earth. When
I asked why, the response was always the same. History. Of which I
was ignorant. If Anthony stayed in line, my father promised his
family was safe to continue business.

95. Douglas groundsel

Rarely considered beautiful, the groundsels are common and

widespread, and are readily recognized by the untidy appearance of
the large flowers which are sometimes almost 2 inches in diameter.
The rather delicate, stringy foliage is sometimes covered with
cottony threads. One species is called “ragwort.” Douglas groundsel
is a shrubby plant sometimes as much as 3 feet high, common in
sandy washes and on dry foothill slopes. It occurs from southern
Utah and Arizona to California and Mexico, between 1,000 and
6,000 feet. At lower elevations these plants bloom at almost any
time of year.

96. New Mexico thistle

Everyone recognizes the thistles with their prickly leaves and stems,
and large flowers ranging in color from white to lavender, pink and
purple. Several species grow in the deserts, the New Mexico
species being widespread at elevations from 1,000 to 6,000 feet in
Colorado and Nevada south through New Mexico and Arizona to
California, blossoming from March to September. Navajo and Hopi
Indians are reported to use thistles medicinally. The nectar of some
species is eagerly sought by hummingbirds.

97. Desert dandelion

A very attractive plant, desert dandelion has several flower stalks

from a few inches to a foot tall. Some of the blossoms may be
nearly 2 inches in diameter. This annual is common in open, sandy
basins, where it is a conspicuous contributor to the spring flower
spread, blooming from March through May in the creosotebush belt
of Arizona and southern California. It has been reported from as far
north as Idaho and Oregon. Sometimes a single plant has 10 or 12
flower heads in blossom at the same time.

98. Malacothryx

There are many species of malacothryx native to the western and

southwestern United States. Some are locally called “desert
dandelion,” “snake’s head,” “yellow saucers,” and “cliff aster.”
Fendleri is one of the smaller species, with stems only 4 or 5 inches
long, rising from a rosette of bluish-green leaves. Blooming from
March to June, this delicate relative of the common dandelion
covers with its pale yellow flowers rocky slopes and sandy plains
and mesas, at elevations between 2,000 and 5,000 feet from West
Texas to western Arizona.

99. White cupfruit

Also called “tackstem” because of the numerous dark-colored, tack-

shaped glands protruding from the stem, this white-flowered,
branching annual blossoms from March to May at elevations of 500
to 4,000 feet. It is a conspicuous item of the spring flower display
from west Texas to southern California and northern Mexico. A
similar species with yellow flowers, Calycoseris parryi, common at
elevations around 3,000 feet, blooms in March and April. It is found
in southwestern Utah, Arizona, and southern California.

100. Prickly sowthistle

Naturalized from Europe and generally considered a weed,

sowthistle is found in waste grounds and along roadsides from near
sea level to 8,000 feet. It blossoms from February to August, the
flowers becoming cottony seed heads as conspicuous as the
blooms. A close relative, Sonchus oleraceus, which blossoms from
March to September, produces a gum from the drying of the sap,
reportedly a powerful cathartic. It has also been used as a
treatment for persons suffering from the habitual use of opium
derivatives.
