Author's POV
It's already midnight but Mr Alessandro Moretti is still sitting in one of his favourite bars owned by Moretti Industries (legal), which is unusual to see him here at this hour.
Lucian is sitting beside him, worried about the old man's health after a few minutes, he took glass from him and said with genuine concern he only shows for grandpa, Salvatore or Serena only.
"That's enough, Mr Moretti. You should not drink a lot especially when you get strict restrictions from the doctor on drinking."
"Don't act like my mother, asshole." Alessandro grumpily said.
"You are unbelievable, grumpy granny. Wait I'll call Salvatore. Only Moretti can handle Moretti."
Lucian said with a mock warning while texting Salvatore.
Alessandro was silent for a few minutes before opening his mouth:
"Lucian, I want to talk to you about something. It's important."
Lucian looked at Alessandro and saw that he is serious right now.
He immediately put his phone aside, giving his full attention to the man beside him.
"I know you gave us everything in those 25 years. Your time, your hard work."
He paused briefly
"After what happened twenty years ago, I had lost hope. I wouldn't have taken care of such a big empire on my own but you were with me. Like my own son."
"It was my responsibility. You don't have to thank me for doing my work—"
"Do you really think I would buy it? I am not Salvatore. I know you did it more out of regret and loyalty than responsibility."
Alessandro said firmly.
"You did so much for us in those 25 years but still I want one last thing from you. Call me greedy oldie I won't kick you out."
Lucian looked up at Alessandro and saw an emotion in his eyes he couldn't name or maybe don't want.
Ever since that incident 20 years ago, Lucian gave his everything to the Moretti family and Moretti empire.
Not out of loyalty or responsibility but regret and his affection towards Salvatore.
Regret of not being there to save his don when they needed him.
They gave him so much, warmth he never felt.
They gave him a sense of belongingness.
For all these 20 years, he spent every fucking second thinking about all these things
What if he would have taken that gunshot instead of his don.
What if he would have died instead of his don!
He was pulled out of the turmoil of thoughts by Alessandro's voice:
"Lucian! Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes yes. I am listening. Please continue."
He lied smoothly as always.
"I was talking about Salvatore's marriage with your daughter."
Lucian choked on the whiskey he was drinking.
"I was right. You weren't listening to me. Don't lie more or I will fuck your ass right here."
He spanked his head from behind.
"Granny? Why are you so grumpy these days."
Salvatore' POV
I thrusted hard into her pussy. My one hand on her mouth and the other holding her thighs wide apart.
I know I was thrusting very deep and fast into her but that's how I am.
Plus I really don't care because I know she is here for only her work.
Suddenly my phone buzzed on the night stand.
It's Lucian's message.
I opened it while thrusting into her
[Softie: Granny is being grumpy again. Come fast before he digs my grave.... Only Moretti can handle Moretti]
So, Grandpa is again giving hard time to Lucian. His message seems like he is really having a hard time with my old school.
I pulled out and started putting on my clothes.
"Your work will be done before dawn. I am going now." I said firmly as usual, leaving no room for argument.
I took my belongings and drove my car towards my granny's usual place.
I got out of my car and walked inside, I was about to open their private sitting room door when I heard Lucian's words.
"But are you really sure about Salvatore and Sera's wedding?"
What hell is going on?!
My hand froze on the door handle as I heard grandpa speak next.
"Ofcourse, I have seen her. She is very decent and beautiful plus she is your daughter."
What the hell?! Lucian has a daughter?!
And I was thinking he is neutered. Softie is not so softie I assume.
Lucian stayed silent as grandpa continued to speak:
"She is trustworthy plus with her late mother's status, that makes her great for Salvatore. I have made my decision."
What decision?! Without even asking me?!
Lucian Sighed before speaking
"As you say, My don."
Those old hags, I can no longer tolerate them and went inside. Both of them stared at me like I wasn't invited.
