In the main time, Lu was struggling to be in a conversation with his half-brother. They maintained intense glances at each other with different things going through their ill mind.
If Lu haven’t known Davidson’s mother, he would have said they were direct brothers. They had the same eyes, the same body, the same face and one can mistake their voice for the other. They even had the same hair color when they were kids, the last time Lu saw Davidson they had the same jet black hair until now the young man arrived from Ukraine with blond hair.
So far, Lu hated blond colors especially the girls with it, at times he wonder how he managed to have a daughter with Flavia when he hated her so much.
It’s two hours past the agreed time and only Lu, Zeno and Davidson are around the big table. Zeno seems to be enjoying his meal, he had been the only one eating while the two brothers stared at themselves. It looked like they want to say something but one person needs to start first.
“So when will you guys say ‘hello’ to each other?” Zeno asked with food still in his mouth.
He chew slowly and waited for a word from them but nothing came, not even the lowest whisper. They just gaze at him and returned their old staring competition as if they were mind linking each other.
“You haven’t touched your food” Zeno tried again. He swallowed the chewed food, gulp wine to step down, and grinned “This is fantastic” he lifted his cup to sip from his wine again.
“Which one of us do you want first?” Davidson asked.
Zeno choked on his wine, his eyes widened as he forced himself to swallow so he could breathe. He dropped the cup and looked at one of his men in black and the door. With a slight bow, the man bowed and left with the rest men in the room.
With his elbows on the table, he interlocked his fingers, placed his jaw on it, and glared at the brothers. Without a closer look, one can see the high level of hatred he has for them.
“You don’t need to keep acting, it’s almost past seven” Davidson looked at his watch “It’s obvious no one is coming”
Zeno kept staring at them in silence, his fear wasn’t for the soft David, his fear-based on Lu, who just kept staring at his untouched meal without blinking.
“What do you think, Luciano?” Zeno sip from his wine “It’s clear Davidson knows nothing about our family and how they keep to time”
“First of all, I think you should go fuck yourself for wasting my time” Lu stood up “And second, thanks for inviting my brother” he moved out of his chair and walked to the door.
Although he heard the chair move but he didn’t bother to look back, he does not want them to notice how uncomfortable he had been especially when his stepbrother is around. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he stopped to get it.
Like a drama queen, Lu rolled his eyes before taking the call.
“What is it, Jordan?” His voice was low.
“Luca is up” Jordan replied from the other end “Zeno has his son and would kill the boy if he says anything. I don’t know if the boy is still alive but he says you have to leave immediately, Ugo has plans to kill you there”
“Nothing new?” Lu asked boringly.
“He said you have to leave now” Jordan yelled “Don’t you get it? You must not die I love-, we all love you so much” he added.
“Alright” Lu replied “Watch over her too” without waiting for Jordan to say anything else, he ended the call.
“Don’t you think you have to find out why you boys look so identical?” Zeno asked.
For a moment, Lu looked surprised as he turned back and stared at Davidson then his uncle, he keep staring at the man’s face trying to figure out why it looks so familiar in a weird way. Yeah! They are related and he happens to be his uncle but something more was added.
Ugo!
“So nice of you to have your son spy me,” Lu said, he moved closer and slammed his fist on the table “What do you want?”
“He wants power” Davidson rolled his eyes, He drew out a chair and sit back “See, I hate to say this but nothing is new here” he point both palms at Lu and Zeno and sigh “Zeno, you want to say that Luciano is my twin brother which is right and he would say Ugo is your son but with a different eyes color which is not so much right because Iu and Ugo have something in common” he stood up.
He walked over to Zeno’s side of the table and took his cup of wine, he emptied it into the bowl of fruits in front of him and filled it with the wine Zeno had been drinking from.
“Contact lens,” Davidson said as he sips from the wine and made an annoying noise “They both wear contact lenses. So now any fucking show because I am as tired as fuck and I need to go rest my head”
Lu couldn’t contain his shock, he stared at his brother who had a bored expression on his face, and Zeno who looked as surprised as him. He walked closer to Davidson and attempt to touch his face but stopped himself.
“This should be a huge mistake” he shook his head “I know how badly I want a family but you don’t have to lie about it, my father would have told me”
“He did,” Zeno said, he sigh and moved away from both of them and head to the door “I was there the day you had your tattoo, he told you about the history of the tattoo and said something else”
“You are the bravest son I have ever had,” Lu said but Zeno shook his head “This is a great sacrifice for you and your better half?” He sounds unsure.
The surprise in Lu’s face spoke the unspoken as he raised his hand and touched his brother’s face.
“Brother?” He blinked back the burning tears in his eyes “Why did you leave?”
Davidson remain silent, he just let Lu touch his face and shake. Although his palm was sweaty he did rather have that than the bandage on one of his face. He looked quickly to see Zeno trying to open the door and he raised his left hand that had been in his pocket.
His smirk increased as he revealed a small device in his hand, it looked like a small remote control and it has a red light blinking on it.
The look on Zeno’s face was priceless, he held the door handle and shook visible. His forehead had veins same as his neck, his palms fumble with the handle as he tried to open it.
“If you don’t step out of the way back to this chair” he pointed at Zeno’s previous chair “Call Ugoh to bring in the cute boy, I will blow everyone of us here”
Lu flinched, at first, he was enjoying the look on Zeno’s face until he noticed the seriousness in his brother’s own when he said he will literally turn them to barbecue.
“You don’t mean it” Lu grinned.
“Unfortunately I do, brother” Davidson replied with a sly smirk on his face, raised the device, and closed his eyes “Glory be to Allah” he closed his eyes.
“WAIT!” Zeno yelled, he rushed to the chair and sat down, he brought out his phone and dialed a number “Bring the boy” he simply said, his breath was heavy as they waited for the boy and the bringer “You are insane, Davidson!” Zeno yelled.
Davidson smiled, he tilted his head to see Zeno’s neck “If not that you are old and might be my uncle, I would have loved to put my dick in your throat!”
“What?!” Lu’s brows were at different levels, his grey eyes wide, lips open and his neck a bit off his shoulder. He just couldn’t believe what he was hearing but he had to keep quiet, even if the psycho is his brother anything can make him change.
“You are a fuvking PYSCHOPATH!” Zeno yelled and the door burst open, Ugo held the boy by his collar bone with a gun pressed over his head “Now what?” Zeno smirked.
“Send him over,” Davidson said “Or we all die” he added as they hesitated”
Lu couldn’t contain the shock on his face as he was escorted down to his car. His men were already there and they all looked surprised to see their boss with someone that looks just like him.
Being professional as required, they didn’t ask any questions, not even of Ugo for they saw him standing beside his father with a gun and a scowl on his face.
The car was silent, totally silent. Not even the little boy that was shaking in Davidson’s arms made a sound or any other person. They just shared themselves, Davidson’s men and Cage took the other cars while Davidson, Lu, Vito, and Stefano took his Lamborghini.
“Fuck!” Lu cussed as he brought out his phone from his pocket and checked the caller “What is it Jordan?” He went still “What?! Alita can’t fucking get missing, lock the whole place”
