Billionaires In Rome

And on earth, peace to men

Family gatherings...
Those were the worst.

Because, everyone was always present. Pretending to be something they're not.
With the coming appointment of the next CEO everyone seemed to kiss Sergio's feet

Silas always had a reason to miss those. But today was an exception,
Sergio specifically told him it would include business.

That was why he had taken an early flight back in Rome that week from New York with Luca his bodyguard and Paolo his personal assistant.
The only people he kept for years ever since he became a director of Devine .

Luca was understandable to be kept around, he was a tall, huge guy... No one had ever seen him smile, or twitch, people started betting if he can do expressions after all.

But When everyone asked why he kept Paolo around. That was not understandable, Paolo was nothing like Luciano's people, since he was a small guy about yay height and always nervous more especially around Silas , he always fumbled with his words and messed up figures... And words.
But Silas would coldly say

" He's my muse"

That would shut them up. Because among all Luciano kids, Silas was just the most successful in rising Devine higher.
Everyone knew just how competent, over competent he was ...

So whatever Silas wants, Silas gets.

Not that everyone was happy about it. But Silas maybe even more than his father was untouchable.

When Silas Got in the huge living room all the chatter died, there was a long silence before someone started

" Killjoy " in a singsong

Everyone chuckled.

Silas rolled his eyes, ofcourse...
Rico Luciano, not one of his favourite cousins. He always found ways of pissing him off...
And Silas would act just as calm. Even when he wanted to rip Ricco's head off

Rico always spoke first in his arrival, it's like he always has a bomb ready

" Do you always have to carry your babysitter around, that guy sucks life out of everything , probably after you"

Luigi Luciano, his second least favourite cousin. Luigi was an arrogant prick, but his abilities were also not to be joked with...
He run parallel to Silas also a director, probably one of silas' greatest competition

Silas unbuttoned his suit and sat down majestically. Completely ignoring them

" Now now Luigi, that's not very nice of you"

Matteo Luciano spoke nicely, while drinking his wine. He has never given Silas a reason to hate him

yet

Silas did...
Maybe even more than Ricco.

Why?,

Because he was nice... Just too nice to be true. And Silas hated nice people

Matteo was almost as successful as Luigi though... No one knew how he did it but he succeeded too...

He did not show any interest in Devine though his father had forced his name up the list. he kept denying the position... He said he wanted to be clean. And so were his operations. Surprisingly,at times he earned even more than Silas

"Yeah man... After all, I do love Luca"

Arturo Luciano was the worst according to Silas.
He never left him alone.
Always pestering him, invading his privacy and taking him to all the places he "couldn't" go alone.
He could, but where is the fun in that? Clubbing without Silas didn't just add up.
So he just gave Silas more reasons to hate him
