Billionaires In Rome

Some Italy

The atmosphere was eerie and tensed quiet. For about ten minutes no one spoke.
No one even dared to breath louder.

"This was a terrible idea." Silas sighed.

Luca and Paolo looked at him from the front mirror. He had called them so early in the morning and asked them to drive him all the way to his brother's estate. But when he got there he did not get out of the car.

At first Paolo thought he waited for the car door to be opened, so he did.
But Silas remained sitted with a deep frown . Paolo resumed to his seat quietly, with Luca giving him an I told you so look.

" Drive off.. "

he said after they had been there for half an hour.

With no one questioning his actions Luca pulled out of the driveway.

"Is .. is there anything, ..you..." Before Paolo could finish his question Silas raised his hand to stop him.

" Take me to the office" he said. " And Paolo, find out what happened to miss Hunter after I left the party"

Paolo and Luca snapped their attention to him.. was he actually worried about someone else?

"Yes sir" Paolo said quietly.

"Also... Give her some space. If she wants to go out she can. I'm sure she can't run." Silas said as he tapped away on his phone.

Both Luca and Paolo frowned.

" Sir are you okay?" Luca asked.

" Mhh? .. yes why?" Silas asked confused

" Nothin"

The rest of the ride was very silent. No one said anything else, although each had questions to ask .

Silas' mind kept Wondering back to what Apollo had told him. If it was true that someone tried to kill miss Hunter or a meaningless prank it meant that someone was trying to get to him. He knew most of his relatives hated him. But no one would dare to openly nudge him.

If he was gonna take the chair he needed miss Hunter to prove to his father that he was ready. Therefore she needed to be safe. Who ever tried to do it would do it again, that is why he was letting her free. Once the culprit sees her defenceless they'd try some thing again. Only then would he strike.

This would have been easier if the family had agreed to cameras. But it all made sense, a bunch of blood thirst and money driven monsters could do crime any time.

Things like cameras could easily ruin them, the motion was no evidence, no loose ends.

"Sir.."

Silas looked over at Paolo.

" We are here"

Silas gave a tired sigh then got out. All that thinking was weighing on him making him uncomfortable.

" Er... Sir?!" Paolo stutters nervously

All Silas wanted was a quiet elevator ride.
" Read the room Paolo" he rolled his eyes

" But..

Silas gave him a cold glare. " What?"

" Mr Sergio.. your .. it's..

"Paolo!" Silas warned

" Your office" Paolo in one breath

Silas cursed. " Great, as if my week is not yet horrible".

Silas found his father sitting in his chair going through the morning paper.
He did not raise his head to acknowledge him or greet him he went on turning the next page.
