Chapter 38

Chapter 38

It's been two weeks since the war ended. We've already returned to the Philippines. Los Royales were the first to return home, while Nikolaus and his men stayed on the island. I didn't ask anymore, but one thing for sure, he'll manage and fix everything there. While me is still recovering, especially from the deep wound on my palm, and also some of my men who's also injured.

Also... when we left the island, it marked the end of our alliance together.

I don't know what his plan next, but I am always ready to face him, even if it leads to another war. I'm not scared of him.

"Madam, the Familia Fierro has arrived." Boris called for me.

I'm aware that they're coming here to my mansion, as my Dad wants to visit and discuss something with me. Even though I don't want to, I need to know something too. What Maxima said to me is still on my mind. I will never forget what she said, so I need to find out the truth.

Who's really behind Mom's death?

"Dear, how are you feeling? Are you okay now?" Tita Lucia hugged me, worried about me. She's really soft-hearted towards me. I even saw Dad, Islwynn, and Evander looking directly at me while Tita Lucia is hugging me. I can't believe they just visited me after the war. They knew my plan, but they only took action when I called them on the day of the war.

Besides discussing something with me, are they also here to tell me that they're happy knowing that the one who killed Mom is already gone? But they have no idea that there's still one person who's really behind it all.

"Lunch is ready. Let's proceed to the dining room." Bumitaw na ako kay Tita Alice at nauna ng maglakad papunta sa dining. This isn't a family gathering, so they should expect that I won't treat them like a family. This is just a business matter.

When everyone was already seated, while me was at the center top of the table, the maids started serving the food to them. The first thing I did was to get the wine glass and take a sip there before speaking again.

"You may start eating before you discuss the things you wanted to tell me. Don't worry, it's your first time here at my mansion, so there's no poison in your food for now." I fake a smile and even raise my wine glass slightly.

"You're still so funny, dear," Tita Lucia said, trying to lighten the mood.

Do I look like I'm joking?

And when did I become funny?

"Where's Briggs? I haven't seen him yet." Evander asked and glanced from right to left, searching for Briggs. Dad, Tita Lucia, Islwynn, Evander, and I are the only ones here. My foremen and some of their men are outside the dining room.

"Are you that important for him to see you?" Tumaas ang kilay. I heard Islwynn chuckled, so I looked at him.

"Or maybe he realized that he wants to stay by Nikolaus' side and not yours?" Sabi ni Islwynn na agad ginatungan ni Evander.

"Cassano Organization is now the most powerful and influential mafia group in Italy under Nikolaus. So maybe Briggs wants to stay with that kind of person." I can't believe these two.

"Then join his organization. After all, I've heard Familia Fierro has a big debt. Are you here to ask for my help?" I'm not stupid to not be ready for this kind of situation.

"That's fake news," tanggi agad ni Islwynn.

"Really? Or, are you hiding it because of shame?"

"Since when does Familia Fierro have a debt?" He leaned back and crossed his arms. Matalim ang titigan namin sa isa't isa.
