Chapter 69
“I am confused as to why you act like Perez has anything to offer, Don, that man owns nothing and I can bet my last breath that he is up to no good and you are giving him a platform to hurt our family and reputation, you know a lot of people do not want to be associated with that family right? Those are the same people you want to be friends with? I can tell you a thousand reasons why this is bad for us,”
Luciano let out, hoping to talk some sense into the old man who should be at the nursing home already and not here making decisions that are not wise.
“I don’t listen to you son, you listen to me, I am the boss and until I say otherwise, I remain the boss, and Perez and I have decided to form an allegiance which means you have to work with him in some issues, he is a good businessman and you can use some of his advice, instead of believing stupid baseless rumors, you should see this allegiance as a good call,”
Don said and Luciano resisted the urge to scream at his grandfather, just what got to him to make him think like that?
“This is stupid and not a wise decision, if you want to go this way, I may as well get out of it because I don’t even know what goes on here anymore,”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Luciano lamented feeling frustrated.
“Of course, you can always walk away, you are not the only heir I have, remember, there is always someone to take your place.
Don said and Luciano lost his cool, Don didn’t really see him as nothing but someone fighting for an inheritance, which was not even true because he wasn’t fighting to inherit anything but for the benefit of the family, to have his efforts reduced to something about inheritance made him mad and just like that, he lost interest completely.
“You know what? That’s it, do whatever you want, I never needed this family anyway, I don’t even need your inheritance, the only reason I have even been putting up with everything is because I didn’t want to sit and watch decades of hard work go to waste but if you want to do it yourself then do it,”
Luciano yelled at his grandfather, here he was trying to protect him and everyone else in the family and all he does in return is try to pitch him up with people who hated him.
“You do not speak to me like that, you do not yell at me, I am still the Don of the Siegel empire,”
“And I am not disputing that, I respect you Don, if I didn’t, I won’t do the things you tell me to do, I follow all of your instructions including the ones I don’t want to follow, I got married because you wanted me to, but if you are going to keep bossing me around and being buddy with people that are potential enemies then I want out, I don’t need you guys, no, it is actually the other way round, you guys need me, I can be fine on my own but can the Siegel empire be fine without me?”
Luciano let out.
“You think too highly of yourself young man, go home and enjoy your new marriage,”
Don said in a somewhat amusing voice, that made Luciano even more angry.
‘It’s not that I think too highly of myself but it is a fact, if I live now, everyone in this family will suffer, and they will have you to blame, you are making a very big mistake Don,”
Luciano said.
“Let me be the judge of that, go home to your wife boy,”
Luciano walked away then, he was done talking to Don, it was clear he wasn’t going to listen to him, he was done trying to save him or anyone else in the family, they want to be friends with enemies? Let them be, Don wants Macko to take over? Let him have it, as he drove back home, he decided he wasn’t taking home what happened with Deda, yes, this was the reason he married Arielle and now that he has decided to wash his hand off the family issues, he may as well let her go but he wasn’t going to do it, he already knew even as he thought about it, no it didn’t mean anything special, it just mean that he would stay married to her for as long as it is written in the contract they both signed, he would enjoy having her as his and do away with her once two years is done, if he had found out Don had already been aware of everything before he married Arielle, he would have canceled the wedding, now that they were already married and he had the chance to get a taste of her? He couldn’t just let her go without enjoying her to his full, the thoughts of how well they fitted in bed, how she responded to his touch, how she gave herself to him completely, the whole new feelings being with her evoked, he wanted to feel it again, he felt himself go hard at the thought of having her again, his earlier anger melted away to be replaced with so much want for the woman he knew would be waiting for him at home.
His phone rang and he almost didn’t want to pick up because all he wanted was to go home to his wife but when he thought of how that made him seem so wanting and desperate, he slowed down and picked up the call.
“Sorry for calling you right now sir, but it cannot be helped,”
Yoey’s voice echoed over the phone.
“It’s fine, what is it?’
He asked.
“Sir, we got a call from France and it is urgent”
Yoey said and Luciano understood what he meant immediately, the France project was one he still has not been able to crack, maybe not anymore.
“Go on,”
He urged.
“We scheduled a call and they said we only have thirty minutes. I called you immediately, the call ended. Should I make the call and transfer it to your home office?”
Luciano checked his watch and realized it would take him longer to get home than to get to his office.
“No, just make preparations and I will be at the office in a few minutes,”
He answered and ended the call, starting his car again. Arielle could wait, whatever they had was temporary anyway but his business could not wait, business first, sex, women and every other thing comes after.
