Formidable Love

CHAPTER 32

Ezio told me about their whereabouts it's no surprise that he found them being one of the greatest assassin's of all time it was a piece of cake. I spent 9 years of my life learning martial arts and how to shoot a person in his head miles apart. Although the beginning of the training was gruesome but eventually I got a hold of it instead I started finding peace in it.

Ezio now holds a special place in my life apart from the fact that he still wishes to bring death upon every single person I've known since my childhood days. I don't give two fucks about his deal with the Pazzi's and borgian's apparently it was none other than me how he killed Rodriguez Borgia and the frequent attacks on the Pazzi's.

Lawrence Medici, my father who I've looked upto ever since my senses begin to actually work when I could put two and two together. The man that taught me how to ride a horse and one who made it his mission to get my favourite's each time he visited London, could one day leave me to my untimely death for the sake of not losing his power on the many shares he hold.

Family is wealth and power though this is not what the men ruling Italy thinks of, the materialistic things that they hold so much more dear could make them do unspeakable deeds.
I often hated Ezio for ridiculing the world I come from but it was only at the right time did he share the torments that the people have suffered which the noble family holds account to not only was I ashamed but also hoped to throw away the title I once dearly held onto.

I could see the inner turmoil from their faces and contemplating whether I stand before them as a foe or friend. Luciano much like me was born with an extraordinary gift, an excellent mind. He's planning every step of his now that my presence is known and now that he knows that the Auditore clan is very much alive and living poses a greater threat to their livelihoods.

Just the way every last shred of his family was torn apart Ezio will come seeking for vengeance it was solely I which held him back these years, he didn't possibly dare leave me behind all by myself fearing the things that could struck me while he's away.

Ezio has come twice as much stronger than before and now he somewhere relies on me as well. I owe him my life certainly and would without any doubt use myself as a human shield if a bullet comes his way. He treated me like a son he never had with his wife passing away in an attack bearing his child three years before he crossed paths with me.

The members of the pack was getting impatient with each passing second as the three of stayed silent. I know all about them given all these years I had been practically watching them closely. Luciano's tie with my sister will prove fatal to both of them, they are yet unaware of the secrets that the night holds one which when reveals itself will wage a war between the two families.

The trust that the Medici's and Montanari's now share anew will only help a bit more longer before things come crashing back down. I'm in no favor to see my sister's dishevelled state once she gets to how hollow these familial ties actually are nor I wish to watch my brother suffer the same torment all over again.

My father wiped my existence and even the fragments of memories I shared with my siblings and the mother that once loved me dearly now fears to mention me infront of anyone.

Enzo still strolls in the room frantically "I thought you said this was some high security bullshit if he could find it anyone could too" turning to Luciano he gives up a tired sigh "There's no place to hide from an Auditore's eyes" he leans back on the couch holding his head high.

I'm amused he knows about Ezio's presence back in the world "You've heard of him" I state "The assassination of Rodriguez Borgia was one of a kind, the bullet that shot his head was of his clan, only borgian's would be so stupid not to check such a thing. I figured that somehow someone made it alive from the massacre that the Pazzi's had taken out" the question quite visible on my face.
"I know right, why replace the bullet with one of my own. I calculated that if the Auditore's are miraculously back then it simply means death of all that surrounds us fortunately that is exactly what I want so why would I stop it" his intentions still unclear, it doesn't take a genius to figure out why he wants the borgian's dead and sooner or later my father too but why the Pazzi's.

"I'm really shook you're like magically back after 9 fucking years and your immediate thoughts are of murder and bullets" Enzo yells interrupting the two of us. Some things never change I wonder if Piero is still the same as him throwing tantrums "Fine what do you want to talk about" he huffs back into his seat with Luciano throwing at him a glare.

One would seem to doubt who's the eldest out of the two but Enzo holds back a world of himself unseen to all. He's the silent player, which is deadly and often bleeds out the others without moving even an inch of his finger.
Luciano fails to see through the facade Enzo has created for us. Although he might seems lively and the baby of the group but he's one smart ass.

Hours went by with the three of us catching up with each other's lives. Enzo was however more keen to know about my life spent back with Ezio and what made me return now "I'm 19 now there's no way I would hold myself back. I'm prepared for the coming war waging on us soon because when that comes I want every part in it" Luciano absent-mindedly heard us talk with little participation speaking every now and then when he deemed necessary.

Soon they all leave after being heavily drunk with Enzo and Reggie helping them to bed. I step out into the gallery to have a smoke only to find Luciano drowning himself in an unknown sorrow.

He senses my presence yet remain unmoved I flip out the cigarette from the pack "Want one?" I slide the pack and comtinue the light mine "Al would be pissed if she smells it in the air around me" then he continues to pull out one "but since she probably won't talk to me for another day or two" I break out in a laugh dragging in a quick smoke I puff it out handing him the lighter.

"Trouble in paradise I suppose" tapping my ciggerate lightly I look at him as he takes in a puff closing his eyes head tilted back "Your sister is hell bent on finding the truth about that night. I think she caught onto something she shouldn't be involved in."

My movements immediately come to halt and the flashbacks of that night rushes into my head as if it happened not too long ago, the memories of that night still fresh and etched into my brain like nothing else.
If Luciano even as much as get a hint of the one behind the ambuscade bloodshed shall soon follow and as much I want it to happen I would want to deal with him first because we sure as hell got a lot to talk about.
