"Luciano De'Luca speaking",the man said into his phone while signing some work papers. "Luciano, my child, this is your grandpa speaking", said the other person.

"What do you want?",he asked in a monotone,cold voice. His grandpa was definitely not expecting this kind of answer. "I j-just want to invite you for a f-family gathering", he stuttered out.

Luciano just scoffed. 'Family? Just because you are my father's farther you are not my family,bitch. You lost it the moment you abonded us.' Luciano though in his mind.

"I won't come. I'm busy",he said and was about to cut the call when he heard his grandpa said,"Please, Luciano. Come here once. Just once. You declined this gathering every year. But, this time it's special cause it's the 50th gathering. Please"

Luciano thought for a moment. He just wanted to end this stupid conversation
every year. He said, "This is the first and last time we are having this conversation. I am coming but you will not dare to call me for any other 'family' gathering. Do you understand?"

"Yes Luciano",his grandpa replied. "Please pack your things for one week-",he was cutted off by Luciano,"two days". He cut the call and tossed his phone across the couch. He went to his car and the driver started to drive home.

Luciano's mind was filled with thoughts of his past. Their parents died when he was 15. His father left his family because of their conservative and controlling lifestyle. He built a Mafia on his own, with the help of his friend.

But when he died ,the mafia became unstable. This resulted in a huge financial loss. Their remaining family abonded them, because they had no wealth. Their father's friend provided guardianship for him and his sister, but he was no longer healthy.Luciano had to struggle to provide food,shelter and education for both him and his sister.

He trained himself day and night for the Mafia.Soon,he turned 18 and accepted the guardianship of his sister. Within a year he made the mafia one of the strongest in the world. His only support was his sister. Her smile brought the energy he needed. Her care healed his wounds.

When their 'family' found out that Luciano became rich,they started giving attention to him. But he was not the one to forget the past. He paid no attention to them. He just wanted to cut off every connections with them but his sister held him back saying that they were still their family.

The car stopped in front of the mansion and he came out of his thoughts. He directly went to his sister's room. He found her sleeping on the study desk while books are scattered around her.He shook his head and picked her up and tucked her in bed. He kissed her forehead and left the room.

The next day both the siblings were watching tv as it was Sunday. Luciano was sitting in the couch and Ariel was lying beside him, with her head on his lap. He was gently caressing her hair.
"Luci?",Ariel called her brother. He hummed in response. "Why are you quiet today?",she asked while looking at his face.

He sighed and kissed her forehead. He brought her up and hugged her tight.He was debating with himself to go to their family gathering or not. He wanted to end their constant pestering but he also knew they were not some social people.He surely can deal with them,but not his sister. He can't leave her alone here.

"Baby, I was just wondering whether to attend the family gathering or not. How will you manage there?",he said concerned."Why Luci? Are they that bad?",she asked him.

"I don't know baby. But from what I have heard from our father,they will not match our lifestyle.They are extremely conservative and controlling.Our father didn't like them,so he just ran away from home",he said while breaking the hug.
