Still in the darkness, Zeno would not stop talking, merely looking at things he wants Rocco to reply so he can get his position but the bald was too intelligent for that. He can’t be easily fooled again by the person that made him once made him a fool.
Even if he refuses to admit it, Rocco feels that he had been fooled by getting in Lu’s and Alita’s way. Even after what he had done, the girl refuses to love him and no one wants to buy her. They fear that she is Lu’s property and getting her would be like buying a problem with your own money.
Giving her back to Lu would be a huge slap to his face so to maintain his pride, he vowed to never let her get Into Lu’s hand.
Not even Zeno’s hand again since the man had tried to show him how much of a funny man that he is. After the agreement of buying her, the man tries to outsmart him by killing him and getting her to himself but that won’t happen. Not even with all that he is saying because if he won’t be outnumbered if he tried to fight, the first thing Rocco would have done is to put a bullet in between Zeno’s head.
And for sure he would!
For over the years he had been working for Luciano, his priority had been to kill Zeno and secretly murder Luciano but he can’t. Not when he had not created the strong empire that he needs, not when he doesn’t have where to hide or back up.
Now he has people working with Lu and Zeno. Even in the streets, he only had to promise what he can not give them, he promised them protection when only Lu can do that. Funny enough, they believed and fell for him, they fell for what they should not have just as how Lu’s father fell for peace and got killed by his brother.
“You have been nothing but a scared elephant hiding in Lu’s Tiny shadow,” Zeno said.
The noise of books falling was heard as a small light from the middle of the table came on. Although it wasn’t covering the supposed dark places but it was bright enough to see them.
“Where is that Son of a bitch” Zeno asked his son with the widest surprise.
“I don’t know” Ugo replied angrily “Maybe you try to talk him into coming out” he walked out.
His anger is not pissed off about Rocco getting away, he is for His father spoiling his chances of getting the mafia power back. For his own personal reasons, he had wanted Alita so Lu would come to him and not his father.
His mean intention was to get Lu, kill him, and take back what should have been his. He feels his father should have fought hard for it as the first child but instead he decided to tell him how he almost became the most powerful man in the whole of Italy. He can’t believe his old man had made him hide his identity for years, learning every possible way to kill a man and have his father stand in his way.
Even if he has to do the most unforgettable thing, he will.
“Fetch that girl” he ordered his men as he got closer to the Arianna room.
The smirk on his face shows that he was up to no good until they came back without her and a cold face. Ugo didn’t want to be told what he doesn’t want to hear so he went in to see for himself.
“Holy Fuck!!!” He gasped as he noticed what looks like a facial skin on the floor “FUCK!!!” He yelled.
Not only that she fool him with her innocent face, but the face was also actually fake and his sister is still missing. At first, he didn’t take it as anything when he noticed a small object blinking red light, Things just get greater when he noticed it’s as small as a pen on the floor beeping faster.
“Everyone dow-”
Before he could say the word completely, a loud sound was heard, throwing everyone off their feet to directions no one planned for. Shortly, the disoriented room became filled with smoke and fire.
Distanced voiced and noise could be heard as Ugo looked towards the door to see his father staring blankly at him. There was no sign of emotions, not even the slightly pity look before the man walked back the same way he had walked.
His mind wandered into so many things he would do and has to do as soon as possible. First of all, he needs to get his father off the picture, get to kill Luciano then rescue his sister. Alita seems not to be in his picture until Lu keeps on trying to play hard to get.
With his ears hurting and forehead bleeding, Ugo still tried to check if his men were ok. He rushed to them, checking their pulse and body to see if any had gotten badly injured.
He didn’t expect many injuries until he noticed a man laying on the bed with his eyes open. His body looked neat almost like the smoke and dust for the blast didn’t touch him, he looked like he was resting until his beautiful set of eyes refused to blink.
They kept staring at his left where his right palm was on his shoulder holding on to the edge of the dagger that had been used to stab him.
“Fuvk Roy! ti lascia schiacciare” Ugo exclaimed in Italian.
Two hours after the blast and everyone are talking about the blast, they all seem to forget about Rocco or the girl. They were serious bring out Arianna’s things and attending to their boss’s son who refused ro be attended to.
For years Ugo had been in charge of his father’s men, Snitching had never been in his legacy. No one had betrayed him that he knew of much more killing one of his best men. He began to wonder the cause of the explosion as something for within and not out from Rocco as he had assumed at first sight.
Even if the girl was that good, someone had helped her remove the cuffs and stabbed Roy during the blast. He knew they didn’t try to make it look like she killed him when she was trying to escape because he was watching at Arianna’s bed before he noticed the pen-like explosive very close to the bed.
He was sure that there was no one on the bed. In fact, Roy was standing next to him before the blast. How come did he get away from him before the blast and got murdered? This can not be a suicide death because no victim would force a dagger in his own neck when his wrists are available.
“Put me on this room’s tape” he ordered a random person.
“Sorry sir” Someone replied “Your father had it removed since Arianna returned from Korea,” the person said.
Not just that Ugo get pissed off, he began to suspect his father for wanting to kill him.
For years he had been with this father and visiting this house. He was sure to have a camera installed in every room even his and his father’s chamber and rooms. His brows connected as he began to wonder why the man had decided to remove it now, and from her room.
“What about the footage of my father’s chamber as at from 3 hours ago” He rolled his eyes as he tried to estimate the time.
“We will see what we can get from his passage down to this passage as His chamber no longer have a camera” the same man replied.
Without saying anything, Ugo dropped the Ice that he had placed on his head. He just walked away with this shoulders low, many things running through his mind.
