Chapter 110
“What kind of trash are you spitting right now? Did you forget I was arrested for the murder and that my gun was found at the scene of the crime, how would you think that someone else killed him if not the people you work with, why else did you go into hiding?”
Luciano barked at him.
“They told me to, they made me believe you will kill me if you find me, I was already hiding before he was killed and I didn’t think of anything else than to stay away and they helped me,”
He revealed.
“Okay, so why are you here now? You no longer want to hide or they don’t want to help you anymore?”
Luciano asked. He couldn’t stop himself from being angry at his cousin, the idiot caused too much damage to the family for him to just be forgiven but he seemed to have some information so no matter how angry he was at him, he had to keep it in check and listen to what he had to say.
“I found, what they really wanted, why they approached me and then Don, it was all part of their grand plan, Don and I were just puppets to their plan,”
Macko let out. So good of him to finally realize what he was to them, even though the realization came too late, Don died, and their family lost a lot including their reputation.
“And what do you think this grand plan is? Take over a dying empire? There is pretty much nothing but ruins, everything fell off and the only thing remaining is going to fall off if care is not taken, so what do you think they plan to do with what is left of the Siegel name?”
Luciano asked.
“What is left is still of great importance and you know it, they want it,”
“Well, they should come and try and get it from me, let’s see if I will let them have it, Perez already approached me twice for a buyout and I told him both times to get lost,”
Luciano revealed.
“He is just playing with you, he has other plans, they have other plans to get what they want and there is no stopping them,”
Macko said in a fear-filled voice.
“I don’t understand you! Can you start making sense?”
Luciano barked at him.
“Initially, the thing is no one expected our first plan to fail, which was the only thing I was truly involved in but then it turned out to be a scam which threw us off balance, and then Lily tried to talk Don into giving her more but then you came back in the picture and she couldn’t get her way again,”
“so, that’s why they killed him?”
Luciano asked, forming a fist.
“I think so now, they killed him and framed you and tried to get your wife too,”
Macko said and paused, Luciano couldn’t figure out how Arielle came into the picture.
“Mind talking more? Make me understand,”
He persuaded.
“You don’t get it? Their plan all along was to take over the Siegel empire, that’s why Perez sent his woman to Don and she was the one that made Don believe it was okay to partner with Perez which gave him a sort of hold in the company but to have control, he needed more which was why they got you out of the picture and once you were out, Dimitri bought shares in the company, Perez already had enough while Lily talked Don into giving some shares to unknown persons which she made him believe were her relatives, if they combine everything, it will be above everyone else and they can take over,”
Macko explained, Luciano could only understand him to some extent because no matter what they do, Don still owns fifty percent of everything and he owns twenty, even if Perez band with other shareholders, they can never beat him, except they tried to frame him for Don’s death, which means they wanted him out of the way and seeing the way the police had to prolong his release as much as they could, they definitely planned to take him out of the picture, which still would not work in their favor except Arielle band with them, which didn’t happen as she gave everything back to him.
“How does my wife come into all of this?”
he asked even though he already had an idea.
“They found out what you did which is why Lily got close to her but then she gave everything back to you even after Lily tried to persuade her not to, they were going to manipulate her into giving her shares which were yours to them but then she ruined that plan,”
Macko revealed. Luciano knew Arielle had been close with Lily, he found out from her driver that night that she had gone to see her, once he found out who Lily truly was, he made sure to tell her driver not to take her anywhere near that woman.
“Did you just find out about all these now? Or you knew and they told you that you will benefit from it and now that you realize you won’t get anything from them you decided to come to me?”
Luciano asked his cousin. He just couldn’t trust his motives.
“I found out recently, I swear I had no idea that was their plan all along, I found out and confronted Dimitri because he is the one that has been in contact with since I went into hiding and then he told me about his parent, of course, I thought he met his other parents but turns out he was talking about Lily and Perez,”
He revealed.
“Wait, Dimitri knew all along that Perez and Lily were his biological parents?”
He asked in shock. He still couldn’t believe Dimitri was related to those two, Lily didn’t even look like she is old enough to give birth to a child Dimitri’s age, except she met Perez when she was a teenager.
“I don’t think so, I think he found out last year, and that’s when they started planning everything,”
“What I don’t understand is why you are so sure that that’s the truth, I mean Lily looks so young to have birthed Dimitri and also why will he tell you that himself when it is clear that they are trying to keep their relationship a secret”
Luciano asked.
“I know, you have every reason to doubt what I say, but it is the truth, Lily and Perez met way back when she was in high school and he got her pregnant only to abandon her because his family will never approve of her and then after Lily birthed Dimitri, she couldn’t take care of him which is why she gave him up for adoption and I think they reunited last year too, I don’t know but anyway they have been working together since, plus Dimitri is not stable right now, he drinks a lot and told me all these himself while he was drunk.”
Macko revealed. That, Luciano could believe, Dimitri has always had an issue with drinking, maybe he got even deeper into it once they stopped being friends.
“Right! And when you found out what their plans were, you asked Dimitri and he just outed himself and his parents to you? Is that it?’
He asked.
“I told you he has a problem with drinking, I fed him enough alcohol and got what I need out of him, he won’t even remember he said anything once he wakes up.
He explained.
“Why did you decide to tell me all this, surely it is not because you have lost because you have always been a loser anyway.”
Luciano said to Macko who bowed his head into his hand and stayed like that for a moment before looking back at him.
