The morning sun woke up Anahita in her slumber and she sat up to see Javad still on the alert. She was surprised at him and she coughed to attract his attention. The Mafia Don turns around to stare at her. " Good morning Boss," She said but Javad didn't reply. He only come closer and reached out gently to pull out the leaf in her hair. " I went out a while ago to see. We are way out of Old City but if we can get a ride then good " " I doubt it " " One can only hope. Come on " Javad stood up with Anahita. Both of them were shot just recently. " Here, your jacket " " Put it on. You will be cold in that dress you wore " In no time they set out, walking for some minutes in the wood before walking out to the long, deserted highway. " Why do I get the bumps? Everywhere is just so eerily silent " Anahita mutters but Javad pulled her by the arm and urges her to start walking. " Come on, it's fine " They walk now for about thirty minutes in silence, trying to get a ride or anything
Javad de Venta is finally finding it hard to breathe when he is closed to the de Venta's plaza. He clutched his side stomach and managed to walk without alarming anyone. Anahita was beside him, giving him the support he needed. At last, they get to the plaza. Javad stood in a corner and look around frantically, in the hope that he will see his best friend but Cassius is nowhere to be found. " Javad let's go into the plaza. It's yours. We can get help there " Anahita begged urgently when she saw Javad losing blood now. " In your home, you got enemies too. I can't trust anyone now and I can't fight anymore. Cassius should be here at any moment " " Oh. I don't think so. Cassius won't ... " She stopped abruptly when she saw the oncoming car. " I take it all back. You guys shared a unique bond. The consigliere is here " Cassius stop the car before them and he swiftly alighted. His face was laced with great worry and concern. " Come in, come in Javad " He helped the Mafia Don into t
" He is the real man. He saved me two times. Guys Javad is the real and true Mafia Don. He took a bullet for me and then saved me from drowning " That was Anahita's words on the dining table when Javad appears in the doorway. He had woken up a while ago after having a good sleep for the first time in a very long time. He had sent Jade off so she could take a rest too while he took another bath and dress up in other simple clothes. Everyone turns when Javad appears at the entrance. He gave them his smile as he walks to sit at the head of the table. A place where his father, de Venta usually settled. Javad sees everyone is present. De Ventas who didn't get any seat around the table gets their chairs at the side. They are all engrossed and interested in Anahita's narration but the entry of the boss put them to a pause. Javad looks around again for the second time and frowns a little bit. The sit on his left side was vacant and it is meant for the carpo while the consigliere will
Cassius Montero woke up with a start. He let out a sigh and look around the room for a while. It has been happening since he returns to the fort. He wouldn't sleep much and not peacefully. This night he put on his slippers and walk out. He look ahead towards Javad's room and saw the lights still on. With a small sigh, he headed at once toward Javad's room. His footsteps could be heard since the fort is so silent.That night everyone could sleep peacefully since the boss is back safely. As for Miran, she couldn't have slept much happily. That night has been her happiest one since she cleared the air with the Mafia boss. Cassius entered Javad's room and he saw him leaning over the counter just at the side. Cassius goes straight to the bar as well. He reached for a glass cup and pours himself a drink. The two friends didn't speak for some time. They only focus and enjoy their drink gently. " Have you heard from Esteban after he is been released? " Javad finally asked and Cassius
For many minutes the guys waited for Anahita to react but she didn't. She only stares blankly at the Mafia Don. At last, she chuckled lightly and said softly. " It's a prank, right? Come on boss. You know that's never gonna happen. I won't ever be of help to Mattias. He shot at me, remember? " Javad looks away with a sigh at this. He soon rakes his black unruly wavy hair with his fingers. " This isn't about Mattias alone Anahita. His daughter is involved " " Oh," The lawyer mutters but then shook her head. " It's such a sweet pitiful situation but I think the consigliere should do this job " Everyone turns at once to Cassius who quickly shook his head in the negative. " Of course not. I stop being a lawyer long ago. I don't have the experience. I only study the law because my father forced me " " We all start somehow and someday. You can take the stand for Mattias's daughter " " Anahita! " Javad called abruptly, jolting the lady a little. " This situation involved a life. Ba
Javad de Venta was putting on his black leathered boots that bright morning when Cassius Montero pushed open his door without knocking. " Boss your sister is being admitted to Law Light college but I would have to go there and sign some necessary documents to finalize her entry " " Good " The Mafia Don only mutters and then headed out immediately. " We have a lot to do today " " Yeah, I know. I feel tired already. I just hope no one get shot " Cassius mutters as they walk along the hall. Javad de Venta however didn't respond to that words. He only step into the winged hall and stood still in the doorway. His eyes hover around and everyone who is around the dinning table stopped abruptly and turn to face him. Slowly Javad de Venta creased up his eyebrows when he saw the seat meant for the carpo still empty. " Is my uncle is not yet back? " He asked aloud to no one in particular but Dante, one of the three wannabes soldier of the Mafia organization replied. " Boss he is not yet
" I can't seem to wrap my head around this Boss. Why are you doing all this by yourself? " Anahita asked. " I mean, you can as well send some men to go with me " Javad de Venta didn't reply for some time. He only focused on the road ahead. After some time he sighs softly. " I can't sleep at night. An invisible being is urging me to find the truth myself and open my father's tomb. " I'd go blind if I failed to do this and I might lose my life " Silence stretched and Anahita stare at Javad as though he is going crazy. All of a sudden she burst into a fitful laughter that goes on for a long time. " Come on boss. You joke so seriously. Like I can believe that " The lady replied playfully later on. " Well, you can be playful when you are not furious. I know you can be " Javad de Venta only set his jaw and keeps mute. He had just said the truth but Anahita didn't believe him. He stood Before the old building in the small town that Mattias has directed them to and the Mafia Don alig
The declaration from Javad de Venta stops Ziba from breathing for some seconds. She have never thought Parvin would be alive. It sounds almost insane and unbelievable. " How can you tell son? How can you say Parvin is alive? Perhaps, have you seen her anywhere? " She asked the Mafia Don softly. This question however wasn't answered directly. Javad had his doubt too and he can't jump to conclusions without facts. He turns slowly to Mattias's mother and lets out a soft sigh. " I won't promise you what I can't give Mother. Today I promise to get you back your granddaughter. " As for your daughter-in-law, I will go into the mystery and unravel it. How about that? " Ziba smile. She just has to. She had to acknowledge the wisdom and dominance of the Mafia Don. " It is more than enough son. More than ever enough " Finally, Ziba gave Anahita the necessary documents concerning Bahar's birth and all. She even said she will arrive at the court and stand in the witness box if need be.
