Very early the next morning, Lu grabbed his Robe and sneaked out of his room. His room had been a huge mess Amara had refused to go to her room and had Gio stay with her. If it was only that, it would have been better.
Last night, she made sure to give Lu the deepest ocean eyes till he had to accept the pleadings of cuddling both kids to sleep. At first, he thought it would be a precious moment for him until when Amara start to snort.
As if it wasn’t enough, Gio joined the competition and later on, they began to push him. They entangled themselves with him until he was finally pushed down his king-size bed.
Poor Luciano, he ended up watching over the kids all night. Amara could not sleep at some time until Gio sang her a strange song he had never heard before. His heart aches on how he failed to be the super dad he had always wanted to be, but that has to change.
He will get Alita, marry her and she will be the mother to his daughter. His mind flashed back to when Amara had said she loves Gio and he smirked.
“They will have to grow and forget about it,” he said to himself as he walked out the room “I have to marry Alita, our love matters” he grinned.
His smile increased as he wondered about the kind of greediness he has, he could not even think that the kids grow up to marry each other. Not when he is still alive and would marry their mother before then. But for now, let will let them hope till Amara grows and have to leave Italy for a while.
Although yesterday, Lu had asked Jordan to keep his eyes on this laptop for any message from Alita. Even he knows they might get nothing, he still wants to hope, maybe Alita would decide to talk to him directly.
On getting to Jordan’s office, Lu didn’t think twice before opening the door and what he saw next made him gasp.
Luciano saw Jordan hugging his pillow in his sleep. His lips twisted as he began to wonder what he might have been expecting.
“Jordan?” He said in a whisper.
Well, he didn’t expect the boy to be awake by 5 am when he went to bed around 11 pm. They had both been up waiting for a message from the Alita just because they had missed a gaming period and they had no idea when to get the next.
It was so painful as the gamer had told them to watch out for the next game as there might be no free next time. The person complained about being heavily watched and Lu know how it feels especially now that he had been staring at the sleeping Jordan for minutes.
He slowly moved backward but stopped as he noticed something weird. Jordan had shown him his thumb and gone back to pretend sleep back.
“I will leave you to rest,” he said “Be down at the normal time”
He paused for a while but Jordan made no response, he just opened his eyes and stared blankly at him.
“Your brother ordered firearms from us yesterday,” Jordan said all of a sudden “I haven’t processed the order tho” he added.
Lu frowned. he moved closer, balanced his left hand on his waist and his right palm rested on his forehead. He leaned closer and stared into Jordan’s frightened eyes and he scoffed.
“Why haven’t you processed his order and let me know?” He voiced sternly.
“I thought he might want to fight against us” Jordan trembled “but I was hoping to tell you this morning” he quickly added.
Lu stared at Jordan for a while before he scoffed and moved away. He sat on the same bed with him but his back was facing him.
His mind wandered as he thought about the possible things his brother might need guns for. Although he did not bother to check well, he was sure that the four men Davidson has all had guns. Even when they don’t look like people that could use it, they still had it.
It could be that they know how to use it, after all, they don’t really write ‘Murderer’ in front of a person’s face to show the rest people that he had killed before. Not even on his face as he is sure his daughter had no idea how many people he had killed.
It hurt him so much the day he had to send Davidson out but he had no choice. Seeing that Davidson is the weaker and Zeno or Rocco might want to get him first, he decided to let them believe he had cast out his brother.
He knew how much of a big mouth Davidson has and it didn’t take long to enter his comedy prank video the next day. It was not even up to the next day, because the video came online ten hours after they had the issue.
He only thought it would take Zeno’s eyes away from him, he want them to think that he doesn’t care about them and wanted them off his list. With that, he hopes to keep His brother safe until he gets Alita, he had no idea that Davidson would take it to the other level.
“Do you think he might want to be against us?” He asked.
Jordan moves to are his face properly, he has no idea of what much has gotten into his boss lately. The corner of his lips lifted into a smile as he began to nod his head like a rainbow lizard.
“You know what I feel like doing right now?” Lucian asked suddenly “I want to -”
“Snap my neck and send my heart to my mother in a gift box” Jordan recited what Lu would have said.
Their gaze locked for a quick second, they did nothing but just stare at themselves. Jordan had his usual annoying smile on his face, if it was only that, it would have been better. He was also wiggling his brows and rubbing his palm together.
“Jordan!” Lu called.
“I am right here boss,” The young man said cheerfully.
“Slap yourself” Lu smirked. He crossed his legs together as he waited for Jordan to do what he was asked to do “If you don’t, I will ask Gio to do it ten times” he smiled without showing his teeth.
Still, Jordan’s smile did not vanish, he stood up and moved a bit far from Luciano.
“Just slap me already sir,” he said awkwardly “Gio is just a boy with a good heart, I am afraid he will not listen to you”
Without another word, Luciano stood up and walked to the door, a sly smirk appeared on his face as he stared at Jordan’s cheerful face.
“Be down before I send for you” He pulled the handle “Let me see how you will explain to Gio that I asked you to look after his sister and you let her get kidnapped”
Before Jordan could say anything else he got out and slammed the door. Lately, Jordan has decided to show how unreasonable he wants to be at times even when he sometimes acts useful.
Down in his room, Luciano meet the kids praying, he also heard Amara say something about Jordan he didn’t pay attention to. As usual, they prayed for Alita to come back safe and sound. But when it got to his turn, even his daughter prayed for him to be a better man.
“Dear Lord, make daddy less angry and a better man” the little girl had prayed.
The smirk on his face had no match the way Gio tore Jordan’s face when he heard what happened. Even when the little love of his life, Amara, was pulling him and begging him not to pull out Jordan’s neck, he made sure to complete the ten slaps before resting.
“Next time,” Lu said as he held The kids “Make sure to do the first thing I say or you can choose to follow the second choice”
He took their little hands in his as he took them out of the room. Since it’s been a while since he played with them, Amara said he must play hide and seek with them and he agreed.
“Let’s go have some ice cream while uncle Jordan helps me fetch my outfit for tomorrow’s party ” He announced as they walked out.
“You never said you will leave soon!” Amara fussed.
“Well,” Lu fumbled with his words “I heard of a man that knows about where Alita is so I have to go see him” he lied.
“Then go to a party?” The kids asked in unison.
Since Lu had nothing else to say, he tapped the kid’s shoulders and began to run, not after he screamed “Race you!”.
