Celeste lived a hard life.
She lived with an abusive mother who was so bad her father left. After her mom's overdose she was sent away into the foster care system, bouncing from one home to another. Things only got worst when she turned 18 and...
Lorenzo made his way into the living room while his father followed close behind him. Lorenzo took a seat on one of the black leather chairs with his gun in hand while his father sat on the couch near him. The two sat in silence for a little while. Through the whole time, Lorenzo kept his gun pointed at his father. Lorenzo hated himself for even allowing him to enter his home, especially with Celeste sleeping upstairs; but he knew there was a small part of him that wanted to hear what his father had to say. He was hoping for an apology, but he knew that would never happen.
"Put that away if you're not going to use it," his father said. Lorenzo rolled his eyes before placing his gun in the band of his pants and resting his elbows down on his thighs.
"You've got some nerve showing up to my house," Lorenzo said as he crossed his arms and leaned back into the chair.
"Lorenzo, I am not here to argue with you. If you haven't heard yet, I'm getting remarried and I want you there. I want you, Mio Figilio," his father said as he pointed at him before he continued.

"You and your brothers to be my best men," he told to him. Lorenzo lent forward as he chuckled before portraying his anger towards him with a scowl.
"You're joking. You must've lost your mind more than I thought you old man. I would never even attend your fucking ceremony's especially after what you did," Lorenzo said as he sat up straight.
"That was years ago Lorenzo. You should've moved on by now," his father told him.
"Papa, I loved her and you took her away from me. She was everything to me. How the fuck do you expect me to move on from that. My own father had the love of my life MURDERED... on my front door steps over a stupid fucking rivalry," Lorenzo said as he shot up from the chair.
"SHE WAS A TRAITOR, Lorenzo. I was saving you the heart ache of killing a loved one. I did the job, so you wouldn't have to," his father said following suite.
"I would never have killed her. I would've talked to her, listened to her, try to understand her point of view. She was an amazing person and everything she did was for other people. Now I'll never get to know why she did what she did because YOU took that away from me. You took her away from me and I will never forgive you for that. You should be grateful that I haven't killed you yet. Out of respect for Mama, but I swear the next time I see you it'll be your last time seeing me. Now get the fuck out of my house," Lorenzo said in a fit of rage.
"Lorenzo, I am asking you as a father. Let this go, you are too young to be holding onto this. Be my best men, send me off...be my son," his father said as he tried to convince Lorenzo, but he himself should've know that wouldn't work. Lorenzo remained silent for a bit before he began to walk closer to his father.

"No," Lorenzo said before he made his way towards the living room exit. His father nodded and thought hard about how he might change his mind until he finally decided on what to say.
"Alright, Mio Figlio. I understand," he said as he began to walk away, but stopped. "Just don't be surprised if something happens to her. What was her name Celeste," his father said. Lorenzo snapped his head in his fathers direction as his eyes widened in anger. Before his father even knew it, Lorenzo had already ran to his and held him onto the wall by the coller of his shirt while holding the gun to his head with his finger on the trigger.
"Don't even try it. You'll be dead in a pool of blood with your eyeballs gouged out and a bullet in your head before you even get the chance," Lorenzo said as he breathed heavily.
"Are you threatening me?" His father asked.
"I'm warning you. Touch her and everyone you care about is dead. Especially the new play toy you plan on marrying. Now for the last time, get out before you leave in a body bag," Lorenzo finished before he pushed his father hard one last time into the wall before he stormed out of the living room. His father smirked while he faced the direction Lorenzo left in. He truly did want his son to be there fo this wedding, but he didn't understand why Lorenzo needed more time. In his mind, he did what he had to do. He thanked the fact that Giovanni had a need to please him because he now knew about Celeste. He was happy Lorenzo had started to move on, but if she tried to do the same thing Martina did. She would face the same fate. The only thing is his father had kept a big secret from him.
