บท 16: DON LUCA
OLIVER'S POV
I got a call from Uncle Luca yesterday night. Lois wasn't conscious yet, I hope she was fine. I was presently on a flight to Rome in my private jet and I would most likely arrive in the night.
Deep down, I couldn't wait to see Lois. Oh! How I missed her, it was unexplainable. I guess it's because of the manner in which we parted two days ago. It hurt me to have kept the truth away from she and Harrieth this long.
They both deserved to know what was going on. I guess Lois would be so happy because Uncle Luca was still very much alive. I felt a pang in my heart as I thought of 8 years ago when we had to frame his death.
It had taken a toll on her. She was taken for psychological therapy sessions, just to pull her out of the sadness that had eaten way deep into her mind. During that period, Harrieth was always crying, she had lost an Uncle and she couldn't bear losing a sister and friend too.
I was interupted from my flashback session, when my phone rang. I looked at the caller's ID and smiled. Harrieth had been throwing tantrums since yesterday, I heard. She even threatened to burn down Jake's car.
She was still bitter towards him, for bringing Lisa as a date for my wedding ceremony. Heard she had buried herself in work since then. Poor girl, she was totally in love with Jake but, wasn't ready to admit it. And I was as sure as ever, that Jake felt the same way.
Heck!! He put his life on the line to ensure she was safe, with the excuse that she was his friend. Of course we are all friends. I'm her brother, I could have been the one to ensure her safety. But before anyone else could, he was already jumping on it and taking responsibility for her protection.
It was so clear he wanted to be in charge of her safety, he wanted to be always there for her, and I respected that fact. But she never knew because she was oblivious to the fact that we ran a Mafia Gang. But still even he's simple gestures were enough for her to know her cared a great deal about her.
He definitely brought Lisa to make her jealous, but my naive little sister, read another meaning to it. She felt he didn't feel the same way as her. They both just needed to realize that they were in love.
Talking about Mafia gang, Lois must have found about it all. I could imagine her reaction. I just couldn't wait to see her and apologize for acting like a douche bag Lately. I just had a lot on my mind. I had to ensure she was safe.
Marco and his gang wouldn't stop until they've gotten what they wanted, and from how much I have known, He is a very deadly man. But guess what, the reason our Mafian gang had been silent wasn't because we were weak. It was because no one dared to go against us.
Marco will regret ever trying to hurt my family. He's hunted Uncle Luca for so long because of his irritable greed. It's time for the dead Luca to resurrect.
"Boss"
"Yes"
"We have 11 more hours to get to Rome" Ricardo informed.
"Thanks Ricardo"
"You are welcome boss"
*****************************
12 hours later
We had already arrived Rome and were on our way to Uncle Luca's Mansion. It was already night and I hope Lois was already conscious. I couldn't wait to see her.
Lois Pov
It was already late in the night and I just finished having a good bath. I smelled like ass God!!
Uncle Luca told me so much during the day. How he was left in possession of the diamond by our grandparents.
Yes, my grandparents were the Original owners of that diamond.
Oliver's parents and my parents decided to leave it in custody of Uncle Luca, since he was the consigliere of the Mafia family.
He got associated with Marco, who happened to be an underboss as at that time. Marco got to know about the Diamond, and tried killing Uncle Luca, who was fortunate to escape death and was on the run since then.
Eventually, the Mafia family decided to keep him in hiding until things died down. 3 years after Uncle Luca's framed death, They got news that Marco overthrew his boss. Marco shot him while he was asleep.
Marco assumed the position of the Boss of the Mafia gang known today as THE MARCOLINIs. Yeah changed the name from 'The Pitbulls' to 'The Marcolinis'
After gaining power over the gang.
After Uncle Luca had relocated to Italy, he started another Mafia society from the scratch with the help of mine and Oliver's parents. His strong and large Mafia society has long been operating undercover, until Last year when Marco found out about them.
How Marco found out was still a mystery till today, but something was sure. And it was the fact that there was a snitch in either Uncle Luca's Gang, MOLLASES or Our Gang, DARK SIDE. I loved that name.
I heard a knock on my door, most likely Uncle Luca.
"Come in" A Lady with coffee brown hair walked in. She had hazel brown eyes and a fair skin, but not pale though. She was a very beautiful woman, her height was Probably 5.6ft at the heighest.
She looked to be in her late thirties, with a very nice body for her age considering she might have children.
"Good evening Madame." she said softly
"Good evening" I replied "And please I hope you don't mind calling me Lois?"
"Of course not. As you wish"
"Thank you. How may I be of help" I smiled
"The Don has asked you come downstairs for dinner."
"Okay, I would be down in a jiffy"
"Alright, but would you be able to locate the dinning hall?"
Oh wow! This woman was beautiful. Her dimples showed without an effort of putting a smile.
"Yes, I will. Thank you....?" I gestured for her name
"Sofiah" she smiled and the dimples got deeper.
"Thank you Sofiah"
"My pleasure." she replied and walked out in a rather majestic manner for a common maid. I was already liking this woman.
I got down minutes later and was able to locate the dinning area. Though this 'Den' as uncle Luca would called it, was pretty much large for a hideout.
I wondered why Oliver hadn't arrived yet. He was already supposed to be here. I missed him so much, and it was unexplainable, considering he had been away for just two days.
I saw Uncle Luca already sitting in the 24 seaters dinning waiting for me. This house was too lavish for a hideout.
"Uncle Luca"
"Lois, come have a seat" he smiled
"Thank you" I replied making myself comfortable on the seat next to him. On the table was a feast.
Just then Sofiah walked in with a bowl of chicken in one hand, and salad on the other. She cautiously dropped it on the table like she was avoiding hitting the Don. It was so clear she feared him. Poor woman.
"Thank you Sofiah."
"You are welcome Ma... Lois" she fidgeted. She was about to go when I stopped her.
"One more thing"
"Huh?"
"You are a very beautiful woman. Your husband must be very lucky, because you seem nice too" I gave my widest grin, while she stood seriously blushing.
Her cheeks were a deep shade of red already.
I noticed Uncle Luca looked up at her like he was just realizing that fact.
"Thank you Mada.. Lois" She quickly corrected."But I'm not married" She smiled.
"Are you serious!? Wow" She blushed deeper
"I would be leaving now" she informed
"Yeah sure" She was still walking away when I turned and looked at Uncle Luca and the look on his face got me thinking. He was looking at her retreating figure. I wouldn't be mistaken if I said he was lusting. She had a nice ass by the way. God!!! What was I thinking.
"Uncle?"
"Yes" He quickly looked up like I startled him
"Do you like her?"
"Who?" He feigned ignorance
"Sofiah, of course"
"No!"
"Yes you do!!" I giggled as I hit his shoulders playfully.
"I can't fall in love....I have been through a lot Lois, and I can't drag any innocent woman into my mess." He suddenly sounded so serious.
"That's not good enough reason not to experience love, Uncle."
"I am a man with a dark past, a scary present, and a dangerous future. I am....."
"....Don Luca" came an oh so familiar voice. I quickly lifted up my head and I saw him. Oliver.
