Chapter 69: Trust Issues
PIETRO
My heart tightened when I saw Lucrezia trying to hide her tears away from me. All I wanted to do was to comfort her and make her stop crying, but I know too well that no words would comfort her.So, I just did the only thing I could instead. I hugged her. I hugged her and just like that, the weight, the things I was trying to ignore, all came upon me instantly.On the outside, I always acted strong for Lucrezia. I always acted like I have everything figured out in front of Pericles. I am Pericles and Lucrezia’s anchor. Pericles looks up to me and Lucrezia holds on to me.They gather their strength and hope from me so I couldn’t show them that I’m weak. I can’t tell them that I’m afraid, that I wanted to give up.No one knows how I’m hurting in the inside, how I’m feeling the pressure because of the weight of responsibilities that I have.I had to stay strong for all that depends on me.That’s why I understood what Lucrezia is feeling righRelated chapters
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 70: The Wolf
EROSPietro managed to make it out alive once again. Despite of my careful plans and the long preparation that I had, Pietro still managed to make it out alive once again. I was looking forward for that party. I received a tip that he was invited to that party and knew it right then that it was my chance of finally enacting my plans to kill him. It was a great opportunity for me. The best place to kill a person where no one would highly suspect as murder. The place was well guarded with security and the media. It would be hard to hide things from the staffs of the party. It’s an easy place to rule someone’s death as suicide. All that has to happen is to drop Pietro’s body off that building so people would think that he killed himself. It doesn’t matter if his death is highly unlikely. It doesn’t matter if everyone would found no reason for his suicide. Murder in that event would be more impossible than someone jumping off the building themselve
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 71: The Stupid Killer
EROS I noticed how the room went quiet as soon as I entered, making me feel how unwelcome I am in here right now. Instead of turning back and leaving the room, I walked in and made myself welcome. I’m not going to leave this place not until I see how Pietro is doing. I looked around the room to find a place to seat. As expected the room is big. It looks more like a hotel room not a hospital room. It’s really different when a rich man gets hospitalized. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed how Lucrezia gave his father a meaningful look. She thought I did not saw her, I have a very observant eye. “How are you? What do you feel?” I walked towards Pietro’s bed and sat on the empty wooden chair beside his bed. Lucrezia and her family were all sitting in the couch, leaving all the seats available occupied aside from this seat.“I’m fine. There’s just small pains around the body but I will be out of the hospital soon,” Pietro answered, moving his sh
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 72: The End and The Start
PIETROI spent two weeks on the hospital before the doctor finally gave me the go signal and told me that my body has finally recovered from all the harmful effects of what was injected on me. Since my body has already been cleared, the doctor said that there is nothing else for us to worry about since my body has already turned back to normal.Hearing this, I couldn’t help it but feel downhearted. My two weeks in the hospital were the two weeks happiest of my life. Not only because I was able to eat delicious meals because Lucrezia couldn’t cook for me. I’m glad though, that she was too busy to cook meals for me in the hospital. I don’t think I would recover this quickly if she remains to be my cook while I recover in the hospital. Being able to finally eat delicious food really made a great effect on my health. Everything felt like it happened so fast and I don’t want this to end yet. In the hospital, I was able to live as myself. There was no
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 73: The New Don
LUCREZIAIt was with a heavy heart when I left the hospital, and it was selfish of me to feel that way. I should be happy that Pietro has already recovered and he suffered no severe effects from what had happened, but why do I feel a sense of loss in me that I couldn't shake away?I wish him a speedy recovery, but why did leaving the hospital feel like leaving something important behind?Pietro did not have to tell me anything, but I'm sure he also felt the same way. I noticed how he was strangely quiet in the last days we were in the hospital and how absent-minded he has been. He must have been thinking about this part of the future, but he did not say anything, just like me. Our unspoken feelings slowly corrupted us and parted us away.The corners of my lips lifted slightly when I saw that flowers had bloomed in our garden. I did not know that these plants could bloom into flowers. We were gone for two weeks, so I couldn't witness the flowers bloom. The mansion was left to our hous
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 74: Sister’s Love
LUCREZIA Letizia broke eye contact and hid her face, afraid that our father would see right through her. It was too late. I already did. I already saw the conflict in her eyes, the secret she was trying to hide.I swallowed the lump that formed inside my throat when I saw how she was crumpling in front of our father and how she was hardly trying to pull herself together. That kind of reaction from her shows how much she doesn't want to take over the family business. All this time, she wanted nothing to do with the business. She never wanted to become a part of the mafia, more so to handle it.Why didn't she tell me about it? "I'm not ready. I'm not yet ready." Letizia spoke in an uneven voice. Liar!It wasn't because you weren't ready, but because you didn't want to make your hands dirty!Letizia has always been born with a kind soul. She is the white sheep of the family. She was the kindest, the sweetest. When our father was training us in the business, she always only acted t
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 75: The Emergency Meeting
LUCREZIAFirst, someone betrayed us and tipped our business to the authorities. Then now, we just received public news that someone burned down one of Leuzzi's warehouses. It turns out not only our family were attacked on the same day. My expression turned serious instantly when I heard the news from my father. Seeing the newspaper he was holding, I hurried towards him and snatched the newspaper from his hand.In the headlines, it wrote that a warehouse was burned to ashes, and they failed to save anything stored inside it. According to the news, the damage amounts to at least $14M. However, the report didn't state exactly what contents were burned along with the warehouse. I could only assume that illegal kinds of stuff were kept in that warehouse. Meaning, Leuzzi couldn't also apply for insurance even if he does have it. In just one day, Leuzzi's $14M was all eaten up in flames. I wonder how Tiburzio Leuzzi must be feeling right now.Even
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 76: The Announcement
EROSA sinister smile appeared on my lips when I received the call. "An emergency meeting? Interesting." I couldn't help but think to myself. Is this day not going to get any better?First, I received news that Raimondo's consigliere is under investigation, giving his business a handicap. Then Leuzzi just lost $14M in just one day. This day sounds too good to be true. Why am I getting too much good news all of a sudden?I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips as I imagined how Raimondo would be reacting to the problem he was facing now. Without his consigliere, it would be like he just lost the limbs of his business. What can I say? That man deserves it. He doesn't know how long I've been trying to be patient with him. He is too arrogant that he thinks he could push me around just because he has leverage over me. Now look at what happened to him. I did not have to do anything. The world already did me a favor. Serves him right.
Let Me Love You, Don Chapter 77: The Mastermind
EROS"Then…" Serrano spoke after Raimondo made his announcement. Everyone stared at him as they awaited his question. "What are you going to do now?" He finally asks when he realizes he is free to speak. Raimondo looked at me when Serrano asked his question.He doesn't know how to answer his question. He couldn't just leave his unfinished business with me behind. I still need him. for my plans, and he has to stay with his family to ensure that I wouldn't go back on my own word. We gave our word to each other and made an alliance together. He couldn't leave in the middle of our plans. "As of now, I still don't know. I can't completely leave the business behind to my daughters. I'm confident with my daughter's abilities to handle the business, but as long as I am still alive, I'm still effectively the head of the family.""You are not leaving the country like your consigliere?" I asked him. He shook his head. "I won't leave the country. I'm just go
