His eyebrows shot up in surprise at my words and a sadistic grin stretched over his scarred face, making him look ten times more monstrous.
“Son? Well, that does explain a lot doesn’t it, Salvatore?” I growled in his face when I heard Giovanni screaming from whatever torture they were giving him. “The truth. That is all I want.”
I narrowed my eyes at him with distrust. The truth?
“About what?” I groaned through the blood that was pooling in my mouth.
“About everything,” His blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
“You want me to admit I killed my brother? You want me to clear your name with the commission? I would never kill my brother. But I know it wasn’t you who did. I know it was Francesco. That is why I put a bullet in his skull myself.”
Riccardo folded his arms across his chest as he chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh Sal. That is almost believable. But I have the proof you see.” He walked over to a laptop and pressed play. Toni’s voice filled the room as well as Francesco’s as I listened to the two fucking idiots speaking so openly about Vin’s murder and our alliance. My jaw ticked.
“You have Toni?” I hissed, realising it was my consigliere that has betrayed me.
“I wish I could say I did. I would love to torture that prick but unfortunately not.”
Suddenly, the door swung open and my eyes widened when I saw Giovanni strolling in. I would have been happy to see he was well if it wasn’t for the dark, evil look in his eyes that was directed at me.
“Giovanni. Whatever they have told you is a lie. I did not kill Vinny. I would never, he was my brother,” I said calmly, trying to tug at the cable wires around my wrists.
Giovanni cocked his head to the side as he leaned over and pressed a button on the laptop. My voice filled the room. It was a private conversation I had with Toni at Aiani's residence. I felt the colour drain from my face as I said the words, “Don’t even bother putting Vin in a coffin. Just bury him in the dirt.”
Within seconds, Giovanni had kicked me in the chest, causing the chair I was sitting on to fall backwards and he was on top of me, pounding my face with his fists. I was barely still conscious, my eyes barely open and head spinning when he finally climbed off me and pulled my chair upright.
“You think you are so clever, Boss. You think you pulled the wool over all our eyes? I have known for days. I know what you did. Toni took a trip to the meat grinder. And you will be joining him very soon.”
My heart sped up as the realisation hit me. This was all planned. Giovanni betrayed me. He worked with the Leones.
My blood boiled at the disrespect and deceit of my own son.
“I am your father! How dare you!”
I could just make out his face as he bent down to my level. “Let's find out, shall we?”I squinted my swollen eyes as I saw him pull out an envelope from his suit jacket, “I got a paternity test.”
Ripping it open, I could barely focus as he stood up straight and scanned the page.
“Looks like you were wrong.”
I shook my head as my heart plummeted in my chest.
“No. You are my son,” I muttered, spitting blood onto the floor.
“According to this DNA test, I am not.” He bent down again and stared straight into my eyes. “Even if it said you were, you would never be my father. Vinny was a far better man and father than you would ever be and I would kill you to avenge him regardless.”
I dropped my head to my chest as I let his words sink in. Just at that moment, the door flew open and a vision in white stormed into the room. I squinted my eyes as I saw the most beautiful woman in the world to me, her eyes bloodshot and only hatred behind them.
“CeCe?” I whispered.
Her hand slammed across my face in one powerful slap, causing my head to whip to the side.
“You bastard!” She screamed.
The Devil’s Deceit
Olivia
Iwas frozen in my seat as our eyes locked. No. How could it be? How did he find me?
