Chapter 117
“The gun, it was on my table before she came, and after that, it was found where Don was killed, she didn’t kill him with my gun but she left it there to frame me, she planned this all out and I didn’t even see it coming, I sent him to her, I thought she cared about him but she killed him,”
Luciano let out feeling his whole body heat up in anger, he couldn’t let her keep living, he wanted her to pay, she deserved to die and he wanted to go do it right now, get revenge for his grandfather but he knew he couldn’t act out, it will only end up wrongly, he had to make plans.
“What do we do boss? We can hand this over to the police and let the law handle her,”
Yoey compelled.
“No, we won’t do that Yoey, this woman gets away with things, she may be the reason I got held in there even when I was found clean, what are the chances that she won’t buy them off? We need to make sure when she is nabbed no one can help her out, I want her gone forever,”
Luciano responded.
“You are right, even the police are not to be trusted,”
Yoey agreed. Until he was sure he had enough to lock her up and that no connections she might have will save her, he couldn’t involve the police.
“Yes, Macko was here earlier,”
He revealed and Yoey’s eyes widened in shock looking around.
“He came here? To this office? And you let him leave?”
Yoey asked.
“I did, he told me some crazy things that I still find hard to believe,”
Luciano disclosed.
“What did he tell you?”
Yoey asked in a curious tune.
“He told me that Perez and Lily are working together,”
He said in a low tone so that it would just be between the two of them, in case Arielle was listening to their conversation.
“We already know that,”
“Yes, we do. What we didn’t know is that he and Lily had a son and that child is Dimitris,”
“What the fuck?”
Yoey let out, in a much too loud voice that made him panic, and placed his finger over his lips.
“Sorry, that came as a shock, are you sure? Do you trust what Macko says?”
He asked in a lower tune.
“It is believable seeing that Lily and Perez showed up at the same time and Dimitris started hanging out with Macko too,”
Luciano told him. He believed because there were too many connections for it not to be true, what he didn’t know was how Dimitris felt it was okay to do these things to him when they had once been good friends and Luciano had been good to him, Luciano told Yoey everything Macko had told him, not leaving out any details.
“I never expected Macko to seek you out, for him to do that alone proves he is ready to help,”
Yoey said after he finished telling him everything and Luciano nodded in agreement.
“So? About your wife? Did you decide to listen to me?”
Yoey asked and Luciano looked back to where Arielle lay, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
“Yes and no,”
he replied.
“How so?”
“Well, Macko told me off too, I think that finally did it,”
He revealed and Yoey stared at him open-mouthed.
“After all the talking and counseling I did, all it took for you to finally come to your senses was Macko? Right,”
Yoey said, acting as if he was offended.
“I still took your advice though, I just needed an extra push,”
He said. “Whatever, I am just glad you finally came to your senses, it would have been a disaster if, after everything, you realize too late and lose her for good, I don’t like the thought of watching what would happen then,”
Yoey whispered.
“I don’t know, I think I am too late already, she hates me,”
Luciano said in a dejected tune.
“She doesn’t, she is just mad at you, if she hates you for real, I am sure she would never have agreed to come here with you,”
Yoey told him and he shook his head.
“She left home Yoey, I had to go find her and bring her back, she only followed me because I told her it wasn’t safe on her own right now,”
He revealed.
“Still, I am sure she loves you, don’t push it and just keep apologizing,”
He whispered and Luciano realized they have been talking in whispers like two gossipers.
“Why are we whispering?”
He asked Yoey who started laughing.
“I don’t know, maybe because whispering is fun,”
Yoey responded and Luciano glared at him. It felt nice having someone to talk to like this, yes, he might be the boss, but with Yoey, despite their age difference, Luciano saw him as a friend more than he saw him as a worker.
“Stop looking at me like that, this is why your wife thinks I am in love with you,”
Yoey teased which got a laugh from him.
“Aha, I made you laugh, I wish this whole thing will be over so that you can just go back to being bossy and sometimes a meanie but the best boss anyone can ask for.”
Yoey said and Luciano wished everything would go back to normal too, it has taken too long and he didn’t want to get used to living like this. He hated it so much.
“Me too, which is why instead of waiting for them to make a move, I will be making the first move, but I will be doing it legally, Perez acquired shares illegally, that’s a good place to start from,”
Luciano told him and they both continued talking and making plans that he hoped would work out and end the whole thing once and for all.
