Chapter - 147 - Miss you

In the penthouse at the far end of the city, "I have appointments with two clients. I will drop by the bar after meeting the clients and try to find something from the Ellerbrock men," said Lucia as she drank a sip from her coffee. "Cool. There have been problems with a few stocks. So, I will be at home researching about that. Also, I will get information about Carson from Chad and the boys back in Velaris." Lorenzo nodded at Aldo and said, "I have finalized the space for the gym and have to supervise the interior work and promotion. I heard the men of the Dark Council hang a lot around the area." Aldo nodded and said, "In short, both will be late. Be careful out there, guys."

Lorenzo and Lucia bid goodbye and left the penthouse. "Don't drink too much. Come home soon," said Lorenzo in a low bass voice as he entered the elevator. "Okay. I will be back by 10 pm," said Lucia obediently, hanging her head down. "If you get drunk, call me. I will pick you up." Lucia hummed and nodded lightly with a smile on her face. Lorenzo took a look at Lucia and silently sighed.

"Hey, Chad! How are you doing?" Aldo casually rested on his chair and inquired. The man on the other side of the phone laughed loudly and asked, "Am I dreaming? What do I owe to get a call from the genius!" Aldo chuckled and said, "You owe me a lot if I remember it correctly!" "Of course! I would never say no to you, my friend. How is the boss doing?" Aldo sighed loudly and said, "Boss is doing fine. Boss has asked you to fetch a few details."

"Finally! Boss has shown favor upon this poor Chad!" Aldo laughed and asked, "Does managing the martial arts institute seem boring to you? Should I put a word to Boss about transferring you?" Chad was terrified and screamed, "Noo! I was just happy to get an order from the Boss." Aldo chuckled at his reaction and said, "Fine. I will send the details of a man and find out everything about him." "Sure. The Capellos had targeted Jen Pharmaceuticals recently, and I thought the company would be closed soon but Marco purchased a lot of shares in a go. I guess there is some internal conflict going on in the Capello family."

Aldo hummed and asked, "Any information on the Night Devil?" "The name itself irks me. He is like the devil himself. It's impossible to take a look at him. He always covers from top to bottom and cannot even capture his skin color. Such an a**h**le! My boys couldn't gather any information about him. Oh yes! I found out about the role of the boy named Ben. He is a computer tech. He helps in hacking and other internet-related matters." "Hacking? Undoubtedly, the Night Devil surpasses all other Capos within the family!" said Aldo in amusement and chuckled.

"Anyways, keep digging about that Devil and the details of the other man. You have got three days." Chad scratched his head and said, "It's not like the old times. The Night Devil acts like an army commander. No one can lurk around two miles radius of their family mansion. Anyways, I will send you the details as soon as possible."

"Why is that a**h*le acting up? Does he own Velaris? I hope they meet their doom soon. You take care of the boys and don't fall into unwanted troubles. Be careful in every step you take." Chad smiled and asked, "Will the Boss come home anytime soon? I miss the old days."

Aldo sighed loudly and said, "I also miss home, but you know about the Boss. Except for the Boss, no one knows what is running through her mind. If everything ends well, we will be back to the old days. But the question is Will that day come anytime soon?" Chad let out a big sigh and changed the subject before hanging up.

Rick noticed his long, lonely shadow cast on the ground as he stood by the garden. He looked up at the evening sky with a tender face. The sky was indescribably beautiful in a smooth mix of pink and purple shades. Rick found it amusing how the sky resembled the beautiful face he longed for every moment. "I should probably consult a psychologist. I must have gone crazy to think of her every moment. She would be having fun with her useless boyfriend while I am suffering here," muttered Rick with his fists clenched.

Rick took a few deep breaths and looked again at the beautiful sky. He had a dejected look on his face and said in a low voice, "I miss you, G-." "Miss you! Who are you missing?" Before Rick could finish his sentence, he heard Mr. Rossi exclaim. Rick was taken aback and turned to look at Mr. Rossi with a straight face.

"Who is missing?" asked Rick as if he didn't know what Mr. Rossi was talking about. "Who is missing?" repeated Mr. Rossi, looking confused. "That's what I'm asking!" Mr. Rossi was confused for a moment and glared at Rick. "You brat! I just now heard you say 'I miss you' as a lovesick, looking at the sky. "Tsk. Tsk. I have told you many times to cut on drinking. Now you have problems with hearing also. You never listen to me, Dad."

"You cunning brat! Do you think I'm a fool just because I'm old? I am smarter than you, don't forget that!" said Mr. Rossi in a proud tone. Mr. Rossi looked at the sky and wondered, 'Did I mishear him? I should cut down on my drinking.' Rick heaved a sigh of relief silently upon successfully diverting the topic and stood beside Mr. Rossi, admiring the sky.

Rick looked at the sky and screamed in his mind, 'I MISS YOU, GIANNA!!!'
