Wait, what? Young master? Found?
"Are you perhaps talking to me?" Nathaniel stated his confusion, he even looked around in case he was missing something. It couldn't be that the young master he was talking to was him, right?"That's right, Mr Nathaniel"Nathaniel was dumbfounded on hearing the stranger calling him by name."You know me?""Very well and I also know someone who knows you better" The man replied him in a friendly tone of voice. Nathaniel couldn't understand what was happening to him that night. Firstly, Lana cheated on him, then he saw billions of dollars in his account then now he's being called a young master? Can someone just explain to him what was going on?"You said you knew someone who knew me better, who is that person?" He was curious because there was literally no one who had to know him because he had been alone ever since his Mother died Five years before."It's our boss and he'll love to meet you, would you mind following us?" The man says but then he saw the guarded look on Nathaniel, he smiled."You don't have to be afraid of us for we have no intention of harming. You can just trust us and go with us"Nathaniel glanced at the able bodied men in black who were all staring at him like he was a piece of jade they hadn't seen before and he wondered if he would be able to run away from them if he indeed insisted on not following them. They all looked young and skilled, so it would clearly be easy for them to beat the shit out of him or even drag him with them by force, so it was better to go while they were asking nicely."Sure, I'll go with you" He moved forward and the Man who had been talking to him helped him open the door which he got in then the door was closed. The man got in the shot gun and someone else got into the driver's sit. The car slowly moved and they began their journey to the unknown. Nathaniel had never been in a car this comfortable before, which was a clear indication that whoever that wanted to see him was super rich. He stared at the Man who had been talking him from behind and he wondered if he should create some sort of conversation."Young master, you don't have to be nervous, you can ask anything you are curious about. I'm Alessandro" Alessandro said as though he could read Nathaniel's thought.Nathaniel shook his head "I'll just ask the person I'm going to meet instead, I believe my questions would be better answered""You are right, I wouldn't be able to answer it better than the Boss"The drive took over an hour and when Nathaniel saw where they were, it was a private airport. He was stunned.What the hell was going on?!He turned to Alessandro bewildered "You didn't tell me we were leaving the country!" Who would have thought the person he was going to meet wasn't even in the country but somewhere else. He was tricked! Alessandro had said it like they were only going somewhere not far from where they had picked him.Alessandro grinned "Then you wouldn't have followed us otherwise. Anyway, since we are here, you have no choice but to go with us"Nathaniel glared at Alessandro who had on a sly smile."Young master don't worry, we would be there soon, it's only few hours journey" One of the Men said, he looked younger than the rest and it was now Nathaniel noticed they all seemed rather friendly, so he relaxed a bit. But that didn't mean he trusted their words that it was only a few hours.He reluctantly got into the airplane which was utterly grand, it looked like something of a class he would never belong to. Just how rich was the person he was going to meet?He took his sit at one side of the plane and the other men filled the remain spaces. Their flight took off to the country he was never told.True to their words, less than three hours later their flight landed and they all exited. Nathaniel could see it was another private airport but this time, the owner was boldly written on it.DiPietro Familigia'"Uhn? This looks Italian" He voiced out as he turned to the group of men behind him."That's because you are currently in Italy" The youngest among them replied him with a shrug leaving Nathaniel staring blankly at him with his mouth agape.ITALY????!!!! They took him from London to Italy???? Seriously?!!"Young master, the master is waiting so let's go" Alessandro urged him which snapped him from his reverie. He followed them to the car and it wasn't long before the car exited the airport and started heading for wherever their master was.Nathaniel tried looking at where they were because he was interested in knowing how Italy looked like. He had never left London all his life so a vacation such as this was something once in a lifetime.They drove into a classy looking estate and then stopped in front of a building."We are here" Alessandro told him and before Nathaniel could open the door, someone already opened it and much to his surprise, it was a young lady. She couldn't be older than Twenty in his opinion.He stepped out while keeping his attention on the girl who was looking at him with excitement. He didn't know her so he wondered why she was happy on seeing him."You are Nathaniel, right? I'm Emilia. I've seen your pictures but seeing you in flesh, I didn't expect we would look so much alike" She chattered away, not even minding the fact that he was only staring blankly at her.Come to think of it, the girl really looked like him and he wondered who she might be. She even have the same grey eyes and dirty blonde hair he had. If he had a female version, it would definitely be her.As if finally noticing he wasn't replying to her, she stopped on her tracks then turned to him. She tilted her head as if wondering why he was standing there and not following after her "Why are you not coming inside with me?""I-" He didn't know the perfect response to her question. Everything that had been happening to him that night was really strange and now, a girl who looks like him was talking to him like they've known one another all their lives.Emilia smiled on noticing his conflicted emotions "Just in case you were wondering who I am, I am your cousin and this is your home. You don't have to behave like a stranger when you are here"Nathaniel's head immediately snapped in her direction "Cousin? You are my Cousin?" How the hell did he get a cousin he didn't know about before?Emilia nodded "Didn't Alesso tell you about the fact that you were just found after years of search?" She seemed confused.Nathaniel walked up to her "Who is Alesso?" He didn't think he knew someone by that name.She smiled "I meant Alessandro, I call him Alesso for short"Nathaniel nodded in understanding "He did call me young master and said his boss wanted to see me""And he didn't tell you his Boss you are coming to meet is your uncle?""WHAT!!"While Nathaniel was still In his Bedazzled state, Emilia faced Alessandro who was now walking up to them. She glared at him "I thought you would have told him everything before bringing him here, how do you think he felt when I bombarded him with all the news thinking he knew already?"Alessandro sighed "Young miss, I couldn't have possibly tell him everything at once. He might have refused to come with us then" He was just doing a good deed, okay. "So, you mean my uncle, who happens to be your Father is the one who wants to see me?" Nathaniel asked after finally taking in all the data he had gathered. "Yes. We are only three left in the DiPietro familigia now, so we have to stay together" He really had to see his supposed uncle so he could get a clear picture of all that was going on. At least, it was clear that Emilia was kin because people shouldn't look this much alike if they weren't related. It was close to impossible. He followed them inside the first building, merely look
Nathaniel froze, even though he had guessed that he couldn't believe it was Indeed as he had thought. "Why don't you take a rest tonight and I'll tell you about everything that had happened tomorrow. It's late already" Mateo suggested when he saw the forlorn look on him."Yes yes, we should go to sleep now. But have you had dinner yet?" Emilia asked him. It was like she had been waiting for the opportunity to buttt into their discussion."I did" Even if he hadn't, he didn't think he had the stomach to take anything in after knowing his parents were burnt to death while he survived. He couldn't wait to know how the fire had happened, who were those responsible for it and for him to get his memories back because he didn't even know what emotions to have when his biological parents are dead. He needed his memories in order to recall the type of people they were. He was supposed to be sad but instead he felt numb and Nathaniel realised it was all because he didn't remember them yet as h
"You are here!" Mateo says when he saw Nathaniel and Emilia walking down the stairs. He was sitting on one of the single couch with a Tablet on the side table, he was putting on a reading glass and seemed busy so early in the morning. "Good morning, uncle""Morning, Papa" Both of the greeted him concurrently as they went to take their sits on the couch beside him. "You seem so busy this morning, is something wrong at the company? " Emilia asked with concern as it was rare for her Dad to be busy during the weekends that he even needed to work in the morning.Mateo shook his head and smiled because of her concern "Actually, I'm just handling the paperwork for Nathaniel, it's nothing serious""For me?" Nathaniel asked, a little confused as to why he needed a paperwork In the first place. Mateo chuckled "You are the rightful heir to my brother's company, I've only been handling it temporarily because you were lost but now that you've been found, there's no reason for me to continue le
Nathaniel sighed because after all, she was only doing it for his sake. It was just that he wasn't used to people doing things for him but then he realised he needed to get used to it because he wasn't alone anymore. "So, what am I getting trained on first?" He asked as he eyed the various equipment, if that was the right term, that were being used to train. "How about training your stamina first? You should start by running some meters. You seem to be the type to easily collapse from little things" Nathaniel glared at him "What do you mean by that? I work out regularly alright!" He couldn't believe he was being looked down upon just like that. Alessandro grinned "I'm not sure if I should call your one hour exercise work out but at least it's something. You'll still need to run the meters though" Alessandro then started running, a cue for Nathaniel to follow after him and he did. It wasn't even up to fifteen minutes later and Nathaniel was dead tired while Alessandro gave him a m
It must be a psychological problem. Nathaniel concluded then returned his attention back to Mateo and Don Gambini who were having a discussion he knows nothing about. They seemed to be talking about an incident that happened recently. It was said that an Italian family was brutally murdered leaving not a single descendant and Nathaniel wondered if that was how it was always was. "I have an idea who it might be" Mateo says and that got Don Gambini's attention. "Are you thinking who I'm thinking too?" Mateo nodded, confirming they were thinking the same thing. "They have been running wild lately and I wouldn't be surprised if it's them again. We need to take care of them before they grow out of hand" Mateo sighed at the end of his statement and Nathaniel could see it was a serious problem. He leaned closer to Emilia "Is it always like this? Families getting killed for no reason?" Emilia nodded "Which is why everyone needs to be equipped and be at alert because even your friends co
Nathaniel scoffed when he heard what Alessandro had said. "I don't remember having a Fiancée, where did that one come from?" Alessandro shrugged with his back leaning against the elevator's wall. "Don Salerno had been telling everyone that you were to marry his daughter so the girl had been calling herself your fiancée"Nathaniel, however, was surprised by that revelation. How come he had never heard of that? Or was it because he was too closed out from the world? "How come I'm the last person to be aware of my so called Fiancée?" He couldn't believe something like that was going on without his knowledge. Who knows what the hell that delusional man was thinking by claiming his daughter as his Fiancée, he hardly even knew the man not to talk of getting engaged to his daughter. "You never know, tonight might be your engagement party" Alessandro grinned but Nathaniel gave him a glare. He knew his underboss would never let any opportunity to mock him pass by without using it to the ful
It was totally ridiculous for the man to even assume such rumours could force him into doing what he doesn't want to. He had lived at the mercy of others for a long time that he was now allergic to it. The him five years ago was always worried about public opinions and that was the reason he never improved in anything he does. If he's been spoken badly off, he just cower and hide like a coward. But now, he couldn't even afford to let anything bother him because he had the responsibility of protecting the hundreds of people under him. Seeing everyone still watching them, Nathaniel scoffed. People still don't mind their businesses "Anyway, I'll forgive you for your blunder this time because this would be your first offense against me. There would be no next time" There had to be no next time. Seeing that the man had heed to his warning, he then walked away.Though he might be a Don with hundreds of soldiers under him, Salerno wasn't strong enough to be one which makes Nathaniel wonde
"Whatever" She slammed the file she had snatched from him earlier on the desk angrily. "Don't you know there's a rule that a man shouldn't be having a discussion with a woman about her age?" Nathaniel grinned at her change of topic and then choose to ignore her so he could focus on his work, he had lots of paperwork to do. Emilia started grumbling when she realised he was ignoring her, which caught his attention. He finally looked up.He smiled on seeing her pouty lips which she did to make herself look aggrieved. Nathaniel loved his Cousin to bits and he would gladly burn down the world if she so much requests it. She was the only one who could bring out his soft spot and he wasn't complaining because he'll do anything for her. "Emmy, you should go back to rest first. I need to leave for Chicago in few hours""Why?" She asked with creased brows because she didn't know he was going to Chicago beforehand. But before Nathaniel could reply, the door swung open and Alessandro came in
