Chapter 56
“The private investigator said there is nothing about her, I don’t know how that is possible but that’s what he said, I feel maybe she changed her identity but according to him, there is no trance of that, Lily Olive didn’t exist until Don found her,”
He explained. Luciano didn’t like what that insinuated.
“And Perez? Is he still hanging around Don?”
He questioned.
“As far as I know, yes, they had a get-together a few days ago, I think they sort of became close friends,”
“Friends? Perez is no good, I don’t know why Don won’t listen to me, why does he like dining with the enemy, how can he forget everything Perez’s family did?”
Luciano questioned, he couldn’t hide the fact that he was disturbed by Don’s ways, It would put the whole Siegel empire in harm’s way, and as much as he didn’t like the members of his extended family, he couldn’t sit and watch them go through shits but his grandfather was enabling that, if the information he got concerning what Perez was planning is true, he has to fight alone to make sure his family was safe while his grandfather was entertaining the threat.
“Don is stubborn, but I don’t think he will make the mistake of trusting Perez,”
Yoey put in but Luciano knew his grandfather enough to know the way can easily trust people, like he still considers Macko for taking over the Siegel empire after everything he has done, Perez’s family has a long list of shady things they have done, the latest being Perez’s younger brother killing the leader of the Sokolov family and turning all the other family members to his personal works, Luciano knew he was no good but one thing he has never done is steal from other people, which is what Perez family is known for, he needed that man away from his grandfather, their family history with the Siegels wasn’t good either.
“We will sort everything out after the wedding,”
Luciano said, clearing off thoughts of Perez, he would deal with him in due time.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I still can’t believe Don talked you into getting married,”
Yoey said and Luciano glared at him.
“Shut up before I send you back to the hospital,”
He scolded.
“I had a near-death experience, Boss, I am not so scared anymore,”
Yoey said.
“Oh you will be once I throw you in my dungeon without food for one month,”
Luciano threatened.
“Sorry boss,”
He apologized and Luciano eyed him knowing he didn’t mean the apology.
“Are you okay? You know you can still take a break, I won’t fire you if that’s what you fear,”
Luciano said. Yoey still didn’t look okay to him, he was leaping when he walked in earlier.
“I am not scared of losing my job, more like I am scared of losing my mind, I don’t want to seat at home doing nothing, I am taking my medications and the doctor gave me a pass to work, I am really okay,”
He answered.
“If you say so, anyway, about Lily, I just can’t rob off the feeling that she is somehow connected to Pere, I don’t trust her,”
Luciano let out the thoughts that has been in his head, it was hard for him to ignore his g
“After the wedding, I am going to speak to Don about it, I hate that I keep saying after the wedding but that’s it, the wacky old man refuses to listen to me,”
Luciano said in annoyance.
“He got you really bad, I don’t know if we should trust the information we got, it is too vague,”
Yoey said and Luciano frowned.
“How do?”
He questioned.
“I am sorry but what if this doesn’t mean anything? I am sorry but I can’t help but think the person who sent that information just wants to start a war, we haven’t seen any movement from the man or his men to prove that he is up to something, all we have going is a series of unconfirmed theories that may not be true,”
Yoey said.
“Listen, I am not going to take any chances, I never liked Perez, you know what his brother did recently? Plus Perez doesn’t have a clean history either, and his sudden allegiance to Don is suspicious enough, Don may not see it but I don’t want us slacking, even if the information turns out to be a false alarm, I will deal with the consequences, make sure you have people watching Perez,”
Luciano instructed.
“I will do that, I also think we should keep an eye out for Lily too,”
“Yes, I was gonna say that, but what made you think we should do it anyway?”
Luciano questioned, he already had an idea as to why Yoey would suggest it.
“Everything just seems to be connected in a way, we can’t find out what and where she had been before she came into Don’s life, and it is not helping that around the time she came around, Perez decided he wants to become friends with Don, it all just seem too connected,”
Yeoy said. Luciano was glad he was finally seeing the bigger picture, he thought of that too.
“Exactly, I think so too, keep it low but keep an eye on Perez, Lily, and everyone who is associated with Perez,”
Luciano ordered, he knew his men were good.
“Yes, boss,”
“And on Macko too, that bastard is no good, I won’t be surprised if he has a hand in whatever scheme Perez is up to,”
Luciano added. His cousin was shameless and he would do anything to get what he want.
“Yes boss, I understand,”
“Good, you should go home and rest, I have a feeling we are going to be very busy after I get married,”
Luciano said as he got off the chair and straightened himself.
“I still can’t believe you are getting married, feels like a dream,”
“Shut up, put a call across to the event planner, she should be here early and her job is to listen to whatever Arielle wants, even though I doubt she would have any needs, she is so stubborn,”
Luciano said, his mind going through everything that has happened since he met Arielle, one thing was sure, he would tame her and make her submit to him whether she likes it or not, by the time they divorce, she would be so into him that she would beg for him to keep her forever, of course, he would never accept that.
“I got that, but I have a question,”
Yoey said.
“Okay,”
“About the place she lived before, the demolishing will be handled next week, I wanted to know if you changed your mind.
“What? I thought you got it done already. What’s stopping you? Did you or did you not pay off the owners of the houses around there? Have I ever changed my mind before?”
Luciano barked.
“I am sorry sir, it took longer than usual to settle every one of them,”
“Do your job Yoey, don’t make me do it myself,”
“I am sorry sir,”
Yoey apologized again.
“You better be, clear out anything else for today, I will attend to it tomorrow,”
Luciano responded as he walked away leaving Yoey in his office.
