Destroy It All

You Were My Friend

Lucas

Father had arrived last night right before I went to go see Alexandra, and Dante had to be the one to mention Alexandra to him, I wanted to wait to tell him but...Dante had other plans.

I told him the least amount of information I could to get him to bed and me away so I could talk to Alexandra before she heard it from anyone else.

"Her name is Alexandra and she's also in a mafia." I had told him last night.

"That's good, she needs to know what she's getting into, what mafia? I'm sure I'll know it." Think very carefully Lucas, you can't just flat out lie to him about it, he's going to find out and if you lie things aren't going to be good.

"Father enough talk go to bed." I stood up, "I have a lot of work to do, and if you wish to meet her, she'll be at dinner tomorrow night." and with that the topic of Alexandra was dropped, I had wanted to punch Dante in his Idiomatic face. 

The next day.

Ciro had made some coffee and I took some before pouring some bourbon into the coffee and unlike every other day Ciro doesn't glare or judge me. It's understandable why I already started drinking this morning, I always drank more when my father was here, something about him made me have an urge to kill and as I couldn't just kill people alcohol was the next best thing.

Who could blame me?

I sent Dante out to get himself a new suit, he didn't need it but I wanted him out of the house for when I tell father the truth about Alexandra.

Ciro was on his way to the Moretti's to make sure everything went to plan.

I sat in front of the video feed and watched, It didn't take him long to show his face in the living room, I sat up and locked my office, I start heading towards the living room.

"Luca, where is Dante? I wanted to talk to him about-" I wave a hand at him. 

"I sent him out to do something." I sit across from him. "We need to talk." 

"Yes, I figured." he sat up in his chair. "And if I'm right it has something to do with this Alexandra of yours?"  he asks.

"Yes, it is about her and about Matteo."

"What about Matteo?!" 

"Some people found out about him, I'm not 100% sure how yet but you shouldn't worry about that I have that covered I just thought you should know."

"What do you mean I shouldn't worry? no one should know about him."

"And they don't, I told you I took care of it." this was the plan to tell him about it but lie and say I killed the person who found out. "Don't worry about it, it was just low life cop."

"Lucas."

"Father,"

He stares at me before nodding.

"But I did move him, you can no longer see him."

"That's fair." He just nods again. "What about this Alexandra?"

"It has something to do with Carlos Moretti, you remember how his wife died during childbirth?" I ask

"Oh yeah, that was a big loss for all of us, we all loved Betty." he said as he shook his head. "But what does she and Carlos have to do with Alexand-" he stops almost putting it together.

"Alexandra Moretti, that's her name the only child of Carlos and Betty Moretti." I stop waiting for him to say something when he doesn't I go on. "Alexandre was a rouse the whole time, Carlos knew what he was doing, no one else knows about it yet."
