The Mafia Prince And His Reincarnated Nemesis-Chapter 192: His Arrival!
Downstairs, David sat on the patio with his phone in hand. He hadn’t eaten anything yet. The message from Fabio still stared back at him from the screen.
- Get the men ready... I’ll be there in two hours.
His thumb hovered over the screen, debating what to do. He could reply with something vague. Or pretend the message never came.
But that wouldn’t change the fact that Fabio would show up... ready to move forward with whatever plan he’d been hiding.
He wished he had an idea. What exactly is the plan that made him order his shadow guards to follow Eduardo to the vacation house?
David stood up and walked to the side garden. No one was around. He took out the USB and stared at it. The footage inside could ruin Fabio. Fabio, on the other hand, has something that could ruin him. If he releases this video even under a false name, he will always be able to find out that David was the perpetrator.
He slipped it back into his pocket and then let out a sigh. If he had to choose anything, he already knew what to choose. He can’t do something that would also harm him.
"David."
He jumped slightly at the sound of Luca’s voice.
"I didn’t see you there," David said, recovering quickly.
Luca narrowed his eyes. "You alright?"
David nodded. "Just tired."
"We brought breakfast," Luca said. "Come eat before it gets cold."
David followed him back inside, but his mind was somewhere else. It was the USB and also, Fabio.
.
.
On the other hand, Fabio was still at the airport. It would take more than two hours for him to get to the vacation house, yet he hasn’t even moved from the spot. He has yet to find a cab driver who knows the location of the vacation house.
It was in a hidden location, so just a few drivers could know where it was.
It got to a point where he was starting to think David had sent him a fake address so he wouldn’t carry out his plan. He clenched his fist, wanting to text him, but he stopped when a middle-aged man walked towards him.
"If you’re going to that location, I know there. But, it’ll cost you a bit," he said. Fabio glanced at him from head to toe. It didn’t seem like he was lying. The man held his cap in his hand, waiting for Fabio’s decision.
"Fine. Let’s go," he said, following him into the cab. Fabio didn’t carry too much luggage with him. He only had a portable schoolbag where he kept his passport documents and other important things there. Something he’ll need to carry out his plan.
He just couldn’t wait to get the vacation house. His heart was racing with excitement.
Not only was he excited to go to the vacation house, he couldn’t wait to see Eduardo again. The last time he had seen him was when he sent him out of the house with his mother.
He got fired by him. Remembering that day made him furious, as he bit his finger. Eduardo called him a criminal as if he knew everything. He acted calm and patient for someone who knew he had been drugged regularly by him.
"Did he find out about the drug? If he did, he would have gotten me arrested, right? But he didn’t. That means that the Italian bastard hasn’t told him yet. I better separate them before my Eddy finds out everything," he muttered to himself. The driver, thinking he was the one Fabio was talking to, stared at him through the mirror.
"You see, I dropped someone off at that location yesterday. That mansion was so hidden that I almost got lost. Haha!" He said.
Fabio furrowed his eyebrows.
"Dropped someone off?" He asked.
Eduardo and Fabio were the only ones supposed to be at the vacation house, with the shadow guards and David.
Fabio looked back at the driver as his voice softened.
"Haha! I’m not sure. The person wore a black overalls cloth, I wasn’t able to find out who it was. Are you related to those people who own that vacation house? They must be stinky rich! Haha," the driver continued talking to himself as David looked away from him, uninterested in listening to the remainder of his words. He didn’t want to believe anyone was at the house, except Marcello.
He opened the bag and slipped his hand inside. His fingers wrapped the syringe in it. He held it tight and bit his lower lips.
"I just can’t wait for it to be all over and I... I can be with my Eddy," he smirked.
He started laughing in the car, due to his wicked thoughts. The driver gazed at him through the mirror, hoping he was doing well. For someone to be laughing for any reason.
’Do I take him to the hospital instead? Has he gone crazy?’
The driver thought deeply, getting worried about his passenger.
Only if he knew that the person he let into his cab was a psychopath and not an ordinary human. Someone who’s able to render his mother useless, just so she won’t be able to stop him from finding Eddy.
.
After the day he was fired by Eduardo, he went with his mother and uncle to the small house she owned. His mother was so excited that her son had returned. She started chatting about the room she had prepared when she heard her son was alive. All the gifts that were bought for him when he was a baby were kept safely in a box. That was how much it could contain.
He didn’t get to use them since he was kidnapped by his aunt, Catherine.
He felt uncomfortable living in the small house. His room had a window where he could see the neighbour’s room. He wished he could go back to the Ivanov mansion. He thought and thought about what he could do to make that happen, and that’s when he concluded.
All he had to do was find a way to get Eddy to himself. Either by force or he has to make him come with him.
Originally, he planned on barging into the Ivanov mansion and taking Eduardo himself. He has guards everywhere in the house. Even if he couldn’t trust David to assist his plan, his men were ready to work for him.
About a week ago, he met with David and ordered him to drug Eduardo one last time, just so he would kidnap him and take him from the mansion. David refused.
Fabio tried to convince him that he wasn’t drugging him with APHRO-16. It was just a sleeping pill. Still, David didn’t accept working with him.
The rejection hurt Fabio so deeply, making him upset. He then kidnapped David, using the same method he wanted to use on Eduardo and made a lewd video of him just to control him with it.
That was the reason David accepted to work for him. Just a few days ago, he learnt that Eduardo was leaving the country to visit Marcello. David, thinking Marcello was the one who revealed the truth to Eduardo about the APHRO-16 drugs, decided to use the opportunity to get rid of Marcello so Eduardo would forget about him once and for all.
That’s what he has come to do.
To kill Marcello.
’Once that bastard is out of the picture, Eduardo would only look at me, right?’
He asked himself as if he was expecting an answer.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he stared at the road. It’s been an hour, and he hasn’t reached half of the journey yet.
"Can you hurry up old man?" He asked.
"Sure. Sure. But, I can’t go beyond the speed limit. I’m a certified driver" he complained and mumbled the rest of his words in Italy.
.
.
While Fabio was on his way to the vacation house, Eduardo was still busy with a bit of important work that needed his attention. His father had promised to take care of them, but since his father had to take care of some business by the border, he had to help out with the company-related tasks.
Other than that, he was going to sign a deal with Marcello. A partnership between the Ivanov family and the Diabolo family. Since his father was out of the way, that was something he could do.
Eduardo stretched his hand and yawned as he was done with his task. He shut the laptop and walked out of the room. Just as it was in the morning, it was quiet. He thought there would be some noise, just like last night, but they were locked up in their rooms.
He grabbed an apple from the basket and sank his teeth into it, taking a huge bite before slipping his hand into his pocket.
"I wonder where they all are" he mumbled under his breath.
He took out his phone from his pocket and tried to call Marcello’s number. The others weren’t picking.
"Is there something they are hiding from me?" He wondered aloud. He took another bite from the apple and kept trying.
Meanwhile, outside the vacation house. The cab pulled over. Fabio stepped out and shoved a lot of cash to the driver.
"I only have Russia currency. You gonna accept it or not?" He asked.
"Haha! I like anything called money!" The driver laughed and accepted it. Even without counting the stack of cash, he reversed the car and drove off thinking Fabio would ask for change or something. Fabio watched him drive off without stopping. He hung the bag on his shoulder and studied the vacation house. It was really beautiful and quiet. It was different deep in a forest or estate?
He wasn’t even sure. All he knew was that it was really difficult to find it. He them walked towards the entrance, grinning hard. He couldn’t wait to see Eduardo’s expression once he shows up.
.
.
Suddenly, the door creaked open. Slow footsteps followed, and then, a familiar voice Eduardo had been expecting echoed through the kitchen walls.
"It’s been a while, Master. No, I guess I should call you... Eddy,"
Fabio said with a grin. Even after hearing his voice, Eduardo didn’t turn around to meet his eyes. He didn’t want to.
He clenched his fist angrily, smashing the apple with his bare hand.
’This bastard made it here,’
He thought to himself.
