Chapter 18 - Eighteen

On the way to the hotel, I remember the calls that I have been receiving of late and my reason for going home.

My parents have something important to address. Something they couldn't say over the phone or a conference call. I would prefer not to go but I have a feeling my father would make an order for me to be brought to him. And that won't go well with me.

When I got to my suite I got busy with returning the missed calls from home while waiting for the go ahead call from the jet.

The phone rang for a while before he picked the call.

"hello father "

"hmm son. Where are you? "

"I'm sure you know where I am father. You always do"

"Come home. Your mother misses you " And the line drops.

It rings again but I know it's not him, he never operates that way. And I took after him, way too much. We do not like to repeat ourselves.

The call is from the airport. I wish I could pass on this visit but I also know I can't rest until all this is sorted out. I call for my right hand man Parker and we leave.

In an island located somewhere in Greece, a woman's beautiful eyes are staring into those of the man seated behind a big mahogany desk. Waiting for confirmation of the good news

"Is he coming ?" she desperately wants to know this as she misses her son very much. Never mind the fact that it hasn't been long she had snuck off to go see him.

Something her husband didn't know of until she was aboard one of their private jets and received a timed message through one of their workers.

"Yes he is coming. He should arrive in... " He hadn't finished when she squealed and rushed out of the office screaming for the chef to make her son's favorite meal. Also sure she'll supervise it herself. Her son must have the absolute best, nothing less.

The man sighed in exasperation. Who would believe that this is the wife of the business tycoon and overlord Alesandro Kyril Visilis.

However he wouldn't have her any other way. She has been a pillar of support, a strong contributor in his empire. They have been through thorns and came out standing.

She has connections in several places that even i wonder how she does it. Whenever I ask how she does it, she always says "if you and your son can smile more, gift more and most importantly tolerate more, then you'll have this connections too"

When he found out she snuck off to go see her stubborn son he almost blew a cap but then calmed down. They wouldn't hurt her. She is not just from money but also a powerful background. To them if something happens to her they will be facing the Luciano's too and that won't bode well.

At least she knows to go with her guards unlike her stubborn son, who thinks himself invisible.

If those old fools knew that the one other than me who has the power to shake the business world is this soft and sometimes childish woman, they would have taken her out instead of... his heart shook as he recalled his loss.

A loss that put an immediate strain on his health. He has never forgiven himself. He did get his revenge but he knows it's not complete. The mastermind is still hiding somewhere.

But not to worry he thinks, we are very patient predators. On this point my wife is even worse than I am. Not to mention my son. He has the potential to surpass us a multiple times, only if he would accept his responsibilities.

Not to mind, it's finally time. I have given him enough time to put himself together. Not even those big watery eyes of my Emilia can help him as usual.

I jump down from the helicopter, then walked the distance to the car waiting for me with Parker just behind me.

"welcome home Sir" The driver greets me. I get in and we drive the short distance from the landing site to the mansion which belongs to my parents.

Usually I make the driver come to the airport but from the information given to me by Parker, it would be advisable I use the helicopter. Which I agree. It seems some not so wise people have been sent to intercept us.

I remember what happened the last time and hot anger boils through me as I think of that incident. Funny thing I was supposed to be in that tragedy too. They made their biggest mistake though. Miscalculating. And it will cost them.

Repeating this tactic twice is foolish of them. And I am counting on them to keep being foolish. We never stopped being vigilant. The Visilis never make the same mistake twice.
