"Gone." I say in a clipped voice,
"Gone where?" his eyes glitter with confusion.
I smirk, "To him, to her beloved ALEXANDRO!"
Slowly the colors start to drain from his face and leans back and closes his eyes.
Silence ruled the place before he opens his eyes back to me, his bloodshot eyes.
"On her own will, in exchange of leonardo's daughter"
"But how!?" he shouts, before I can confess that I don't know Bee clears the air.
"Garbage truck" he looks at me, when did you know man!?
"What!?" Father burst, but Calvo is quiet. Uf….this boys already know about her escape.
"Calvo and I checked the cameras, she escaped in the middle of the night but waited till the truck came early in the morning. She took her decision very carefully, she left with nothing." Bee finish.
"She will never step into my house again, I don't want anyone to say her name or remind her." I say, my blood is boiling under my skin and my veins are bulging out from my wrist.
Father is quiet.
All I could ear was the sound of our breathing,
"Forget about her, she took her path. Now, Max." That's it!? Woah it was me….then I would have already been used as fertilizer for the backyard garden.
"Yes" I say deadpan.
"Don't worry about her, she is my daughter and she will know the way she is going. How is Carmella?"
Carmella?
Who is that!?
"Carmella who?"
"Leonardo's daughter Carmella" you know old man!!?? My widened in shock, unexpected acknowledgement!
"Oh god, please don't tell me that you knew he had a daughter!"
"I am afraid you won't like my answer." he says camly
"Just say!" I glare at him
"Yes, I know her from the moment she is out of her mother. It was me who told Leonardo to hide his daughter from this dark world. I visit her on her birthdays, every.single.year. as her uncle but not as a man of the mafia world."
When he finish I don't how I should feel but I can silently hear the begging of my legs to stand up and walk out of the room,
"Do you know that she was kidnapped?" I just wish he would say no, but my father is a man who does everything in my life just opposite of me. I should not get angry from hearing his answer when I already know what he is going to say.
"Oh yes, I know! Leonardo actually called me first, but I wanted you to help him. One day or the other the hidden things should come to light, shouldn't it!?"
"The hell with you and that Leonardo!" I don't think if I sit here I can control my hands from punching his perfect face so I stand up and walk out without turning back
"Where are you going!?" He calls me from behind me.
"Trying to get far from you" I grunt,
"Just stop boy!" my legs halt, I didn't turn to see him afraid that I would hurt the only parent I have.
"What!?" I snap,
"I don't care what you think of me or how angry you are when there is no reason to be! All the things we talked about Carmella was before you sat on the throne as capo! So try to understand me." he say from behind,
"Will you please shut up father?" I just don't want to hear anything that comes out of his mouth.
"Fine! You like it or not, you will meet Melissa Berlusconi tomorrow. Be ready by 5:00PM."
This Melissa is another new problem in my life, I sigh and walk out of the house.
