Something About Him

The Great Bessco Family Meeting.

Stefano

Lisa and I finally had some grown up time without worrying about being parents. Our kids are safe with my dad and grandpa,I asked them to do this so we would have a chance to talk about some information I received and about the night of her parents death.

Also all of the alliance families would be flying in tonight to share the information that they have gathered and to form marriage alliances. I know Lisa will throw a fit about this because it's for both of our children and the rest that come along, as the head of the family it's by rights that my kids are the ones they look forward to.

“Babe you ok?" I hear her voice softly at my side, we were currently sitting on the veranda once again.

"I'm fine, it's just that I have somethings to tell you that I hope you don't get upset with me about " I said looking at her eyes.

"Ok....go on" she said after a few minutes to silence I start

"Our allies and thier families are coming,it's to discuss our little reaper and to also create marriage alliances" I said

"Who's marrying who?.....our kids are wayyy to young for that"she said with a laugh at the end and she stopped when I didn't smile.

"I'm sorry but it's one of the conditions of being in the family"I said realising that the pain from that day starting to resurface.

"Stefano I don't care...I'm not going to sell my babies off"she said raising her voice a little

"I'm sorry Lisa but you don't have a say in this...these are my kids too and I'm not selling them off, I'm doing this for them....so they won't have to suffer what I went through"I said

"What do you mean?"she said

"You really think I asked for this fucking life, you really think I wanted this..."I paused as I felt my anger bubble up.

"Stefano talk to me"she pleaded I got up and I walked to the room, in my closet I hid a box of things that were important to me. I got in and I looked for what I wanted before walking back to her.

"My dad, had a daughter with someone else before he had me, now being the boy I was automatically expected to run the family as per my mother's request, but that was before we found out about,Kara, my older half sister"pausing again,I smiled remembering her

"You know you look a lot like her, when you smile mostly and Sean has her eyes, I hope Shiera gets her personality"I laughed as I handed her the picture

"What happened to her, you never told me you had a sister"she said as she looked at the picture.

"She was the reason I was sent to the states"I said

"Steff....you have got to give me more than that"she said

"Ok I was 17 and I had just taken over a faction the family,it wasn't anything super sketchy or dangerous....you know just to look over business places and a few clubs, I really didn't look my age so I got the club's..... anyways things were going great and we had an increase in the family, now both my sister and myself oversaw a few places together but she didn't want to be part of the other side of the family, but my dad didn't listen because he arranged a marriage for her, with a really shady family, I told him that it wasn't a good idea....I had a feeling that the guy was lying and he was, a week later, I found him in a club fucking a waitress, I beat the shit out of him and I told him to break off the arrangement or else" I paused as the memory flashed across my mind, I smiled a little bit much re so because of his reaction.

"Days later as expected his family called off the arrangement saying that he got another woman pregnant and they didn't want to bring a child who wouldn't be able to be a high ranking member in the family....my father didn't really care so much because he was already planning on breaking off the wedding, so then more suitors came to us, they offered land,blood and money all to be part of this family, but my sister had already fallen in love, his name was Rayleigh Strong, a handsome strapping man, you could see and feel the love that they had for eachother it was pure and true, Rayleigh owned his own bakery right here, just a few miles west from here, the months she spent with him I never saw her that happy, she glowed Lisa...and I really loved seeing her happy, but after they announced thier engagement, Rayleigh was assinated, the person did a real number on him, we were only able to identify him because of dental records.
