Simon answered the phone when he saw that Giovanni was the one who was calling. He was ready to go to Seattle when he suddenly called. Halting from his attempts to leave the room, he answered his phone. “Giovanni.” Simon answered. “Salvatorre, when are you coming back here in New York?” There was an edge of urgency in his voice. Simon frowned, confused. Though he couldn’t see his trusted friend, he knew that something was wrong based on his voice. “I was on my way to Seattle. I was about to call the chopper when you called. Why? Is there something wrong?” He heard Giovanni let out a sigh. “Why are you going to Seattle, man? You’ve been away for weeks now, and they were looking for you, man. Marcus and I don’t know how to answer, especially Federico.” “I was here in North Carolina, you knew. But thanks for not telling anyone about where I am. I was following a lead about my mother’s case.”“That man died, right? I saw it on the news, and I realized it was the same street you wa
Simon went to the doctors’s office without saying anything. He was silent the whole duration that he flew from North Carolina back to New York, and as he strode his way towards the office, he was still silent. There are a lot of scenarios going through inside his head right now. As hs steps were getting faster, Simon was certain for one thing, he will get definitely avange his father. He will not let those bastards get away with what they did to his father. Emiliano Morelli was not only his father but he’s also the father to the largest mafia clan in New York, no one gets away after hurting him. With his fist balled, he entered the doctors’ office with much confidence iin himself. It was Marcus who announced to the doctor that Simon was there to talk to him. “Mr. Morelli! I am glad you came. I’m doctor, Morris Harrison, your father’s attending physician.” The doctor was polite to stand offered his hand for a shake the moment Simon entered his office. “Please, take a seat.” Docto
Butler John assisted in dragging all the staff and crew of the mansion, and that includes all the staff that were assigned in the kitchen, especially them. “How about the guards? Are we not going to check them?” Marcus asked Simon while they were standing in the balcony of his father’s office. Simon had checked all his medicine but there was nothing out of place there. Except if the contents are being replaced. “We will, but I have a feeling that it came from the kitchen safe. How did my father come to ingest such poisonous matter? It should be from the staff that prepares the food.” Simon answered, his eyes were glued on the staff that looked baffled as to why they were being dragged out to the garden by the guards. Marcus couldn’t agree more. “Get those bottles and have it checked by Dylan.” Dylan was the one who was in-charged in the production of liquor, and he specializes in substance and chemical. He would know if the contents of those bottles were replaced or not. “Yes,
Simon was observing the maid from the other room. Just like an investigation room in any police station, the Morelli mansion also has their own version of interrogation room. The only difference was that of the Morelli mansion has a lot of torture paraphernilias. It depends on who they are interrogating will they use the torture tools. As for the maid, Simon has no plans in using the tools on her. He just wanted answers as to why she was able to enter the mansion without the knowledge of butler John. The one-way glass prevented the maid from looking at the other side of the room. The room was used to interrogate suspicious individuals and those who betrayed the Morelli clan. Some even died while being interrogated. Marcus sat on the opposite side of the table, in front of the maid. If one would look, it would pass as a police investigation room. There was a speaker so that they could hear the conversation from the other room. Simon never left his eyes on the maid. He was sure he
The news about Emiliano’s hospitalization spread across the state. It was a hot topic and the citizens had different comments as to why Emiliano landed in the hospital, especially he was in the intensive care unit. A lot of people wondered as to what was the reason since it was not disclosed in the public the main reason why he was brought to the hospital. Simon, on the other hand, assumed all the pending works his father left. He has no choice but to take over both the legal and illegal business of the clan. Federico had volunteered to do so, but Simon didn't trust him to fully hand him the business. He’s the heir, it was only fitted that he assumed his father’s work. ‘Does he take me for a fool? I am not the young Salvatorre who easily get manipulated, I learned that the hard way.” Simon slammed his laptop close. He was in the study office in the mansion. He just finished a tiring hour-long meeting with the members of the board of directors. He still needed to hire his own secr
“Here’s the invitation to the charity ball of the Miltons.” Giovanni put the white envelope on top of Simon’s table. He spared a few seconds of glance on the piece of paper and then went back to the screen of his laptop The Miltons were famous for their big time Jewelry store all around the world. They literally had branches in every country. The female Milton used to host an annual charity ball for their foundation that supports the rescue of girls who were victims of human trafficking. But Simon knew them better than anybody else. He has an intel that the old Milton was doing a dirty job behind the facade of a generous and kind old man. They were involved in human trafficking. Simon doesn’t want to get involved at first, but he received a tip from someone inside the black market that young girls as young as twelve were being sold to clients who wanted to prey on young girls. Upon hearing it, Simon couldn’t just sit and let that happen. He knew he must do something to at least sa
Simon gave Giovanni the invitation letter while he found a way to sneak inside the mansion where the charity party was being held. He expected the security would be tight since almost all of the invited guests were from the wealthiest families, but Simon was wrong. He easily got inside. He found a way to the dirty kitchen and from there it had been easy for Simon to enter the mansion with no sweat at all. With the simple clothes that he was wearing, he was easily mistaken for a service crew to the party, which made Simon think that it was an advantage for him, he had driven into the opportunity to be able to roam around the mansion with no much suspicion. As Simon roamed the mansion with a tray of champagne in his hands, he saw that almost all of the wealthy businessmen, celebrities and politicians were invited to the party. He was looking for any evidence that there was an auction that was happening in the mansion aside from the party that it hosted. Simon saw Giovanni talking t
Simon left the scene where Gregory was humiliating him. He has no plans on staying theri so they can continue to embarrass him. If he allowed that to happen before, he will not let that happen again now. But before Simon could even get away with the scandalous Gregory Holt, he was quick to grab Simon his arm and pulled him harshly. “Where do you think you’re going? You think you can easily ditch me after insulting me in front of these people?” Holt was scowling at Simon, his jaws were stiff and his eyes were sending daggers towards Simon. Simon looked down on Holt’s hand that was on his arm. He hated the feeling of this man on him. “Get your hands off me.” Simon stared at him with equal danger. He’s not going to let this man embarrass him further in this party. Simon had enough of his childish acts and he will teach Holt the lesson that he needed. But instead of getting intimidated by Simon’s reaction, Holt finds it funny. He thought that Simon was just acting tough. Gregory lau
