The Winged hall was filled with bright lights and a very long table. Numerous chairs were around this long table and de Ventas sat on it. However, some had to stand and listen to the words of their boss. Half an hour ago Daniel Duke had left with the Feltons, vowing he will make them pay. " You heard about what has happened people " Javad Began gently after he settled down at the head of the table. " Now that we have all gotten back what belongs to us, I would like to organize everyone. " All members should be given their task. You can't sit idle anymore. You have been doing so for two years now " They all nodded in unison and Cassius waited to hear Javad's words carefully when he look at him. " How many are de Venta clan? " He asked and Cassius replied immediately. " Those who lives here are Fifty-three as of last month. We got a new baby born " " Good. How many Young ones? " " About thirty-seven when I last go through the calculations. I can do that again if you want boss
Javad was stunned when he heard this and at last, he scoffed lightly. Love! He thought to himself. That empty words mean nothing now. He turn to Cassius who was staring at him intensely. " Boss, will Jade be alright? " " I think so " He replied with his jaw setting. " I hope so " Another silence stretched. Cassius all of a sudden remember. " Boss your office. You haven't checked it out. Do you still have anything to do? " " Not yet. Come on. Lead the way " Cassius lead the way out of Winged Hall and they headed to a narrow hall. Cassius took the left turn and Javad follow behind but stopped abruptly when they get to the entrance of the office. Goosebumps filled his skin again and he sigh as he get the ominous chill. " I don't know Cassius. I felt as though my father is watching over me, trying hard to keep me on the right track " " Your father is the most generous man there is Boss. If you feel that way then it's true. Come on " Cassius at last Opens the door and the fres
" Boss I love your idea. It's gold. The Mafia organization being legal I mean but I doubt if that would come to pass " " Why did you say so? " " Mafia organization has their dark deeds too. That is why we have the Chen clan to clean up our mess " Javad had sat on the couch and leaned back gingerly. " Do you know I am a doctor? I save lives " He asked all of a sudden and Cassius nodded positively. " Yeah. Was, you were a doctor before you become a lived-in son-in-law " " Exactly but my license is useless because I am a Mafia Don. No hospital will employ me but if I can manage to make the Mafia organization a legal association then I will get my license back, and do what I can freely " A grin appears on the handsome face of Cassius and he brushes his hair backward gingerly. " A perfect idea but I bet it will take a very long time to get this job done " " You bet " Miran walks into the living room to meet the two men. Slightly she bow before the Mafia boss and then said. " Th
Javad de Venta woke up with a start and sit up immediately. His eyes went straight to the entrance and he saw the door open. A frown appears on his face and he stood up gently. He slowly put on his Boots and went ahead to lock the door. He is confused because he remembers vividly well that he had shut the door before going to bed. He steps out gently to gaze ahead for some time. The hall is eerily silent and the fort is the same. It was a wee hour, way into midnight and everyone has gone to bed. Javad shrugged his shoulder and made to reenter his room but then heard the soft Footsteps from ahead. He grew curious and he headed to the sound, which was coming from his office. He felt the strange aura swirling around. It seems only him could feel it. He tries not to be superstitious but it's there. Javad slowly pushed open the door to his office and there he saw the chair rolling gently. It was as though someone has been there, sat on it, and then left just abruptly. He walks in
Javad de Venta Marched into his fort after alighting from the car. He is aware of his people on the balcony. He mounts the spiral staircase and appears in the hall. Silently he headed into his room. He passed through his people who stood together in silence, waiting for his reaction. All of a sudden he stopped and whirled around to stare at no one in particular. Javad folded his hands on his chest and asked gently. " Who is in charge of the fort? The Butler, sort of " Murmur arouses at this and he waited patiently for Sima to walk out in somewhat fear. When Javad saw her walk forward he frown slightly and then ask." Aunty you were in charge of the fort, right? " " Yes Javad " The older woman with a beautiful face replied. " When we arrived yesterday I coordinated the maids, making them clean the nook and cranny of the fort " At this, Javad scoffed silently and mutters. " Maids? Who are the maids? " " I mean the de Ventas. The Younger ones " " You told them to clean the no
Sebastian's laughter shook the four walls of the house and his men kept a safe distance. He was at the bar, seated with Esteban Montero and they were both having a drink over the discussion that of course has to do with Javad de Venta. " That is surely a way to go Esteban " Sebastian mutters as he took a sip from his glass cup. " Javad has to die " " Yeah. I will make that happen. The bomb will surely go off in a moment. You just watch. It's been hours now " " Yeah. I can't wait to hear it from the news, you know " Esteban took another sip and then let out a sigh. Sebastian focuses on him because he seem so serious. " Sebastian you promised to make me the consigliere once the fort is being blasted up and you rise to the throne, right? " " Of course my dear friend " He replied slyly. " You are better than Cassius, the best. De Venta did you bad? why did he have to cast you out just because you made a little mistake by firing the best friend of his carpo? " " You can say that aga
Javad enters the living room as gracefully as always. His eyes are devoid of expression. His wavy hair jumbled. His eyes laid on Esteban and at once the mixture feelings of anger and sadness overwhelmed his heart. Angry at Esteban that he dare try to murder him and sad that he will have to break Cassius's heart this time. Frezno had made Esteban goes on his knees before the boss. Javad took his sit gently on the couch. The de Ventas, some of them were in the living room to see what will happen. Of course, Sima also was there. She had vowed to make sure everyone that did bad will be punished just as she had. " Javad! Javad!! Oh thank goodness you ... " Frezno punched Esteban so hard, stopping him from finishing his words. Javad had to look away when blood began to trickle from Esteban's lips. He looks so much like Cassius, Since they are twins. His face made Javad think he is hurting his friend. " It is Boss or Don! How dare you address him by his first name! " The carpo thund
Cassius gulped down another shot and then set down the glass cup. He looks around the noisy bar and sighs sadly. The sky has darkened and it has been a very rough day for him. Javad de Venta won't speak with him. He won't listen to his plea. The agonizing cry from his brother had compelled Cassius to evacuate the fort so early. He had returned to his house and drowned himself in thought on how to save his twins brother but all his ideas were just so lame. At last, Cassius gave up and then visit the noisy bar to clear up his sorrow but the alcohol wasn't doing much job on that part. " Should I bring another sir? " The waiter behind the counter asked but Cassius shook his head in the negative.No matter what happens he is still the consigliere of de Venta, the whole Mafia organization. He has to keep his dignity intact. It would be nasty and disgraceful if he gets drunk. " Give us two more " The voice of Sebastian said to the waiter and the latter obeys. Upon seeing the face of
