The Billionaire's lucky break Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three
The ride home was silent and brooding for Marco. His mind was in high gear for all the thoughts that gathered in his head. Anthony drove, and the radio played lowly. Marco looked at Anthony but the man didn't pay attention to him. His words left a mark on Marco more than he thought he would.Marco shook his head like he couldn't believe it, in just three hours, his life has turned into an episode of the Godfather movie.This is what his father had been up to?Deciding who lives and who dies while he sits in the big chair with a smile on his face. Marco still found it hard to believe that his father was so cold-hearted that he would do something like this.A thought still nagged at Marco, he turned to Anthony. "Did you mean what you said about who shot my father?"Anthony nodded, he faced the road with a slight hum in his tone.Marco narrowed his eyes at him, he wouldn't say who it was no matter how much Marco persisted which made him assume he was the one who did it.Marco shook his

"Let go of me!" Marco yelled at the top of his voice.He fought his attackers, they swarmed him. Marco swatted them away and backed up.They didn't relent, they grabbed Marco as he slipped from their grasp and slid further away to the bed."Who are you, people?" he asked.There was silence, the silence was so still that Marco could hear his heartbeat, it was so loud and he thought for a moment they could hear it too."You want the hard way or the easy way?" the gruff voice asked him.Marco shook his head, "get away from me." he threw his hands like it was enough to make them go away."The hard way it is." "No!" Marco yelled, he hoped he was loud enough for someone to hear him."Stay away!" his voice increased.The men in black moved closer, ignoring his warning. They moved fast.Fear seized him, and Marco struggled to breathe as they advanced on him.He stepped backs trying to run but it was impossible."I said, who are you people?"No one answered him, he was beginning to fear for hi

Marco glared at the man in front of him."What the hell?" he growled.Anthony shrugged with a smile, Marco watched him with a fierce gaze. Anthony was nestled comfortably in an armchair as he smiled.Marco felt anger take over the fear he was feeling before, "Nice job, Marco.""You are yet to explain this to me.""I told you I will start teaching you, consider this your first lesson."Marco let out a growl, "Nothing about this is okay.""I never said it will be." Anthony stood up and barked out an order to his men."Untie him."The men scrambled to do his bidding while Marco watched with bitterness on his face, he was half tempted to kill the man for all of this.Marco limped after Anthony, "What the hell was that? Did you have to kidnap me to teach me?""All of this is necessary, Marco. I don't enjoy kidnapping men from their beds.""Really? Could have fooled me."Anthony chuckled, he stopped short when he got outside. "Marco, when I said to teach you, I meant that I would show you h

Marco's jaw dropped open, he stared at Anthony before he burst into laughter."You let my father name me that?"Anthony shook his head, "Relax, it's a nickname. We don't disclose our names like that. It's mostly for security reasons.""So people didn't know my name before I was sent away?" Anthony nodded, "They only know Hydra.""What is my real name?""Giovanni Dinero," Anthony announced with a smirk on his lips.Marco absorbed the name, "That sounds scary.""It can be, if you utilize it well." "I like Hydra better," Marco said.Anthony grunted but didn't say anything. A laugh escaped Marco as he wondered what went through his father's mind to name him that."What's funny? Anthony asked.Marco bit his lip, he had no idea how he wanted to approach this."This is all too fancy, I mean why go to all the lengths to hide me from the world if his death was going to expose me in the first place?"Anthony stared at him, his eyes widened by a fraction when he heard the question."I mean, it

Marco had barely kept his head on his pillow when he got called up again.He mumbled to himself but hurried to meet Anthony at the front."Today, we begin your training but before that, you need to meet some people.""Who are they?""You will see," Anthony said.Marco looked behind him to see Lily waving at him, he jogged back to her."I hardly see you anymore," she whined."I know, your father has me going places and meeting people, it's like he is on a mission.""I know, I am happy for you. It was about time, Giovanni." Lily teased.Marco sighed, "Trust you to know.""I know everything even the ones my father tries to hide from me. Go, we will talk when you come back."Marco gave her a quick kiss and jogged to catch up with Anthony who was waiting for him in the car.He got in and Anthony glared at him, "I don't know if I should be appalled or happy with your relationship."Marco grinned when Anthony grumbled to himself. The car ride was silent and Marco figured that this was an imp

Marco opened his bedroom door and sighed tiredly, his shoulders slumping as he entered the room. The day had been long and exhausting, and all he wanted was a moment to sleep. All he seemed to do these days is not sleep.He stepped inside and kicked off his shoes, feeling the weight of the day fall off his feet.Slowly, Marco began to unbutton his shirt, He let out a deep breath, and his tired sigh filled the room to confirm his weariness.With deliberate movements, Marco stepped out of his pants, his legs feeling lighter with every passing second. He stared at himself in the mirror and sighed at the tired lines around his eyes.Marco sighed to himself again.Turning away from the mirror, Marco headed straight for the bathroom. The thought of water enveloping him made him calm. He stepped into the shower, feeling the warm water cascade over his body, washing away the physical and emotional grime of the day.He killed a man today.Marco was yet to digest the news that he took a m

Lily and Marco slept cuddled close to each other throughout the night.Marco appreciated the comfort that came with it.The next day, Anthony took Marco to the company to give him a tour and introduce him to the team. Excitement and curiosity filled Marco's mind as they rode the elevator up to the office floor.He wanted to know the kind of ship his father ran in his company. The doors slid open, and the bustling atmosphere of the workplace engulfed them. People hurriedly moved about, focused on their tasks and discussions.As Marco stepped out of the elevator, he was suddenly jolted as a body barreled into him, almost knocking him off balance. He quickly regained his footing and looked at the person who had collided with him. It was a guy, around twelve years old, with a mischievous grin on his face."Who are you?" Marco asked, slightly taken aback by the unexpected encounter.The boy shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "I'm your younger brother, Alex. Surprise!"Marco's eyes widen

Marco yawned as he stretched his arms, trying to shake off the grogginess that clung to him like a heavy blanket. He blinked a few times, his eyes adjusting to the harsh artificial lighting of the airplane cabin. Confusion swept over him as he realized he was still on the plane, which should have landed hours ago.Rubbing his eyes, Marco fumbled for his phone in his pocket, hoping to find some answers to the puzzle. He unlocked the device, and a message notification from his friend David flashed on the screen. "Call me ASAP," it read, urgency dripping from every letter. Marco filed it away for later, he looked to his side to see Lily tapping away at her phone furiously."Why haven't we landed?""Oh, we are about to.""Okay," Marco relaxed as soon as he heard that, he dropped his head back as he groaned.When the plane finally landed, Marco eagerly grabbed his luggage from the overhead compartment and made his way to the airport exit. As he walked through the bustling terminal,

"When I tell you that you are crazy, believe me," Lily mumbled.She rested her head against the headrest and covered her eyes with a sleeping mask.Marco grunted and did the same, it was going to be a long flight.Marco and Lily's flight touched down at the bustling airport, and they both let out a sigh of relief. Stepping off the plane, Marco felt the warm breeze of London enveloping them, and excitement filled his nostrils.Lily, with a slight yawn, turned to Marco and said, "You know, after this long flight, we should go rest a little before we go to the big house."Marco, however, seemed hesitant. "I understand that you need rest, Lily, but I need to take care of it now. If we get it done quickly, we can then relax and have a great time leading up to the prom back home."Lily smiled understandingly, knowing how important it was for him to come here.

Marco asked.He got up gently, thankful he had slept with his boxers.He put on his shorts and headed downstairs, well aware that Anthony was following behind."Marco," the man questioned.Marco went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water."I am talking to you, boy."Marco leveled him with a bored look, "What do you want?"Anthony stepped towards him in a threatening manner."I told you how I felt about sleeping with my daughter.""Was this before or after you shot my dad?" Marco asked. Anthony stood there, his eyes locked onto Marco, his mouth hung wide open in

Marco said nothing.He just stared at Lily wide-eyed."You what?" he asked.Lily shrugged, "I thought we could sit down and talk about us when this is all over but the issue with my father is hanging over my head."Marco took a step closer, "Lily,""No, hear me out."Marco kept mute and just listened, Lily took a deep breath."I love my father, I do but what he did is unforgivable. I am not going to lie that I will be sad if you kill him but I understand.""So you will hate me?"Lily shook her head, "I will be sad but like I said, I understand."Marco nodded.Lily stretched out her hand again, this time Marco took it and they went home. "Stay here, Marco," Lily said, her voice trembling slightly. "I need to grab something from upstairs."Marco nodded, trying to hide his anxiety. He trusted Lily's decision, but this situation was unlike anything he had ever experienced.
