Billionaires In Rome

His affections.

Before the argument with Apollo this morning, the last time Silas spoke with his brother in full sentences was almost three years ago.

That too, he was only congratulating him for marrying for love.
Apollo must have been among few Lucianos who married for love.

And since he was not in a very good relationship with his father then he did not invite many Lucianos it was just a small wedding.

Silas had been busy then, but upon hearing about that wedding he just wanted to go see him.

Was he really happy?

He did not know what he wanted to see at that wedding.
Maybe he hoped that his brother was not as happy as everyone spoke about.
Maybe he was a bit sad and guilty for not taking the chair and ruining his younger brother's life.

In real sense maybe Silas just wanted a reason to forgive his brother and mend their broken relationship as it was before he had to clean up after Apollo ran off from his responsibilities.

But Apollo looked happy, so happy that Silas was jealous, it was supposed to be him.
That happy, it's should have been him.

His wife, Hope Jane Luciano was better looking in person. Better than what his investigator's pictures.
She smiled more, and Apollo only had eyes for her...

Even when his younger brother Silas, who he had not seen for almost five years  came to offer him congratulations he seemed to still stare at his wife.

It was then when Silas decided to not forgive him. The hatred he had for him grew tenfold, he did not wait for the wedding to finish.
He left.

Since then even the tiniest, bit of hope he had and good in him died. Whenever he was among his family members it was like his temper was on the edge.

Today was no different, this was the first time after a while, that he shows concern about someone apart from his wife Hope or his child Amara.
So why did it have to be Miss Hunter? Why wasn't it his brother?
What right did he have to tell him he was disappointed in him?

So his rage towards Rosie was understandable, because if not why did he feel like this.

If he did not stop, he would grow mad. He drove to his favourite club, he always went there when he was frustrated.
When he got there, they directed him to his private booth

"Here" he handled his attendant his car keys and phone. He always had the same male attendant.

When he always knew he was getting drunk, he would handle him the phone and keys. Incase he overstayed, they should call his secretary Paolo.

" Feeling better?"

Rosie sniffled, " yes, thank you"

Paolo sighed, " I'm sorry, I should have stopped him yesterday"

He had come over to have a discussion with Silas but found a crying Rosie instead

" And send him away with wet clothes? No Paolo, it's okay" she smiled

Paolo leaned back " still I knew Silas would flip if he even knew Apollo was here"

She sighed " I didn't know that was his brother... He was rather---

" Nice?" Paolo suggested

She nodded.

" So how did this brotherly rift occur? Struggle for power?"

Paolo shrugged "not my story to tell"

" And you think he is going to tell me? Really?" She rolled her eyes
