CHAPTER 11 °°°
LUCIANO
"What!" I shouted as I got home and they told me everything that happened.
"Luciano you were right, we should have listened to you. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you the other day" Bruno apologized and I placed my hands on my waist tiredly.
"All these happened when I was away? I just left for a day and all this happened already. Who the hell did that to Fernanda?" I asked furiously.
"Jeromino posted the sextape then flied out of the country and for the rapist, we have no idea who he is" Damian replied slowly but Mum was at a corner crying her eyes out.
"Come on Mum, for how long have you been crying? Your eyes are so fluffy and red" I complained and she wiped off her tears with her handkerchief.
"It's my fault. I'm the reason why all this happened to my Fernanda, if I hadn't set her up on a blind date and then allowed her go out with Jeromino. This whole thing wouldn't have happened" Mum sobbed even more.
"Mum it's not your fault okay. You were only trying to make your granddaughter happy so don't blame yourself for it. It was written in her fate to go through this so stop sobbing and look for a way to get out of this traumatized situation. If you act this way, how do you expect Fernanda feel when she sees you like" Benicio cut in and I frowned.
"Mum started all this so it's her fault this happened to Fernanda. Why are you all trying to deny the truth here? You all know so well that mum brought this upon poor Fernanda. It's bad enough that she doesn't have a mother and now this" I shouted.
"Luciano you're a bit too harsh" Bruno said seriously and I turned to him.
"Bruno this also happened to Fernanda because of you. She's the only daughter you have and yet you couldn't even protect her properly. How do you plan on facing Maria Jose when you leave this world? You couldn't even take proper care of her only daughter. Do you still think you're a good Dad" I said angrily and tears roll down his cheeks.
"Luciano you're beginning to cross the line here. If you cared so much for your niece why didn't you watch her closely when you had a hunch about Jeromino? You call yourself her uncle and yet you couldn't even protect her, do you think I feel any better about this. You're never home when things like this happen but you suddenly show up and act like you care when you're never here to show your support to the family. This was how you created a scene when Maria died, where were you the day Maria died? We couldn't find you around. Do you still think you're a good brother" Bruno screamed with tears rolling down his cheeks. Tears roll down my cheeks as well.
"You think it's easy for me as well. You think I'm happy not being here for my family? Just because you were blessed with the brain to be able to work in a huge company doesn't mean it's easy for others. Do you have any idea what it feels like to be out casted like you never existed? Everyone in this family is so perfect and good at whatever they do. Did you expect me to just sit around and act like a dimwit? Of course I have to fight for myself a well. Have anyone in this family ever asked me if I had a job or doing fine in whatever I do? No one has ever done that but it never bothered me because everyone was happy and you're my family" I shouted.
"We're sorry about that Luciano" Benicio said slowly and I wiped off my tears.
"Its not like if we asked you, you would tell us the truth so why bother asking. Do you think we're all heartless because we put a blind eye to whatever you do. Why do you think everyone kept mute and never asked you of your job? It's because we want to support you without putting you in a tight seat so stop playing the victim here" Bruno scolded and I sniffed just then Fernanda cracked the door open and walked in with a serious face.
"Uncle Luciano what's your job? What kind of work do you do?" She asked seriously with a very intense look in her eyes but my phone started ringing.
"Excuse me" I cut in and walked to my room to take the call.
"Why are you calling me? I actually have a question for you. Where's Jeromino right now?" I asked furiously and Agustin laughed.
"Why are you suddenly putting interest in my son?" He asked suspiciously.
"I thought of your offer and I would want to be his bodyguard" I lied.
"That will be when he gets back from Switzerland, he probably preparing to leave the united states in some days time. That's not the reason why I called you though" He said seriously.
"I won't be doing any business for the time being, I want to lie low" I reminded him.
"That won't be a problem but something fishy is going on at the police station and I think someone reopened Maria Jose's case" He informed and I looked behind to see if anyone was listening.
"What do you mean reopen?" I asked curiously in a low tone.
"You wouldn't want me to end the life of a mother and daughter right so do the right thing before I lose my cool" He threatened.
"You shouldn't threaten me in that manner when I've got something against you as well. Stay out of this, I will take care of things here so don't bother calling me to threaten me in such a manner" I said seriously and hung up.
I can't go to jail yet when I've not gotten justice for Fernanda. Jeromino will regret doing that to my niece, same goes to the rapist as well so keep on hiding so I don't get you. I uttered in my head angrily then I went back to the sitting room.
"Luciano who were you talking to for so long and suspiciously as well" Bruno asked staring at me.
"My boss, it was my boss. I will be leaving for the united states tonight so Fernanda what were you saying because I have a flight to catch" I said and Fernanda looked away.
She didn't probably find anything against me right? She looks quite upset with me. I said in my head.
"I'm suddenly curious about the kind of job you have uncle" She said.
"Actually I work for a very wealthy man and I happen to be his right hand man so I go errands for him.. emm I'm like his secretary" I replied with blinking.
"Again uncle, did you speak with mum the day she died?" She asked curiously.
"Fernanda why are you asking a question like that? Did something happen at the station?" Bruno asked curiously and I began to sweat heavily.
"Yeah, I spoke with Maria on the day she died. I had no idea that was going to be the last time I would hear her voice" I said slowly.
"Do you remember what you discussed with her that day over the phone?" She asked curiously.
"Come on Fernanda, you don't expect me to remember what we discussed over the phone twelve years ago but I'm pretty sure she was informing me about dinner, I guess" I said sweating all over.
"Oh okay, well I got my hands on mummy's phone call log and uncle Luciano was the last person she spoke to so I was quite curious. I'm sorry uncle for being inquisitive" She smiled.
"It's nothing dear. I have to go now, I need to book my flight" I said looking at my wristwatch.
"Fernanda I heard what happened. I promise to get justice for you, no one does such horrible things to niece and go scort free. I'm Luciano Dante and I promise to make them pay" I assured with a smile.
"Thank you uncle" She said with a teary eyes.
"I'm here now so don't bother going to the police station to hear the trash the policemen have to say. I will take it from here, I was once a secret agent" I bragged and she smiled.
"I will get going now" I said and ran out.
I got into my car then drove off to the airport.
Jeromino the only thing that will save you from my anger is if you face death before I get to you. You messed with the wrong person, your father might be the devil himself but I don't bother going down with him as long as I've given Fernanda the justice she deserves. I muttered in my head angrily as I drove into the airport.
