Chapter 119: Make A Choice!

The dining room fell silent after Fabio said those words to his mother. His real mother, Jackie, stood by the corner of the room with her eyes wide open as she listened to those words from Fabio.

"Arthur... Is that my son?" She stuttered.

"Shhh, let’s watch for now", he responded, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Of course, that wasn’t the kind of meeting she was expecting. She thought she would be able to have a cute time with her lovely son, but he turned out to be... this kind of person.

"You aren’t speaking, mother," Fabio said.

"I... You should help me because I’m your mother. You can’t stand there and watch these commoners hurt me. I’m bleeding all over and..."

"Isn’t that what’s perfect for you? You hurt them first and now, it’s their turn to do the same to you. Don’t you know Karma exists?" He grinned.

"F... Fabio" she called as she struggled with the ropes.

He lowered his body and picked one of the bloodstained knives from the floor. Charlotte watched him and started to tremble. She didn’t tremble that much when she was being tortured by these people, but if there was one person she feared the most, it would be her son.

She has been with him from the moment he was a baby and watched him grow till he became an adult. She’s very much aware of the dangerous things he has done, and she covers them up just so they won’t affect his reputation when he becomes the Mafia.

When it comes to things related to torture, he would be the leader. That’s the monster he turned out to be ever since Eduardo left the family.

Even after seeing what he became, Charlotte refused to bring Eduardo back. He has been claimed dead already and if she’d brought Eduardo back, she would be suspected.

It was better for him to become a monster than to watch her son obsessing over another man, who was a competitor to him.

Due to her negligence, the monster she raised has turned his back on her.

Fabio glanced at the knife for over thirty seconds and clicked his tongue.

"This isn’t sharp enough..." He said and took one glance at Charlotte. "But, I could manage it"

He raised his knife, and once again, her scream was heard from the lobby one more time. Antonio gently placed the cup of tea on the table and raised an eyebrow.

"I thought it was over," he said.

One of the security walked in and lowered his head

"Master, the young master arrived some minutes ago and headed straight to the dining area", he said.

"Oh, young master is- huh? Fabio is back? Fuck!" Antonio sprung up immediately and rushed down with Ivan.

.

Even as they walked down the stairs, her scream didn’t stop. It was louder than before.

They rushed into the dining and saw the guests staring at Charlotte with pity.

"Fabio! That’s enough!" Antonio yelled.

Fabio froze and slowly turned his neck.

"Hello, Father. No, since I’m not your biological son, I guess I should call you Master or... Mr Ivanov?" He asked, dropping the knife on the table before taking off his leather glove. He tossed it at Charlotte and walked towards Antonio. He saw the condition Charlotte was in and sighed deeply.

"Ivan, call the men in here to take her away," he said. Ivan nodded and left to get the guards.

"Come with me", he said to the guests, who were shivering in fear after witnessing what Fabio did to his mother.

He led them to the living room where he handed them NDA contracts and also a few compensation.

"It’s not enough to bring back what she did to you all, but I hope it’s enough for you to forget everything and start a new life. I won’t ask you to forgive her, even I, won’t be able to forgive her", he said.

They never wanted to agree at first but after seeing the compensation, they agreed to it, signed them and started to leave one after the other.

It was remaining Arthur and Jackie left in the living room. Antonio took one single glance at him, recognising him immediately.

"You.. you’re from the art academy, aren’t you?" He asked.

"You know who I am?" He asked.

"Of course, you’re the one Rose left to be with me," he said.

Arthur lowered his head, as sadness washed over him.

"I heard she’s dead. My sister killed her. I’m sorry"

"No, I should be the one apologising. Even after knowing about your relationship with her, I greedily held her back here. If I had let her go, everything would have been in place" he said.

Arthur didn’t know when he broke down in tears, with his hand covering his palms.

Antonio turned to Jackie. She looked exactly like Fabio in some way. Their white hair was a match but their eye colour was different.

That was enough proof for him to know that she was his mother.

"Please sign the NDA and the..."

"I don’t want any compensation from you. You weren’t the one who stole my son from me, it was Charlotte. It would be better if you handed him over to me," she said, with a serious expression on her face.

Antonio looked at Fabio, leaning against the wall; his body was stained with blood, and he resembled an executioner from medieval times.

"I know your son would be happy to see you. But, this shouldn’t be how your first meeting should go" Antonio tried to stay calm.

Jackie looked at Fabio one more time, who didn’t even have a bit of interest in his eyes and turned to Arthur.

"We’ll only sign the NDA. But, we don’t want any compensation from you" she spoke with a determined look on her face.

He agreed. They signed the NDA and finally left the manor. Antonio sighed heavily before turning his gaze to meet Fabio.

Even if it wasn’t their first time meeting, it was his first time meeting Fabio like this. He wasn’t looking weak and tired. Fabio also didn’t look like he was interested in knowing how his father was suddenly able to move like that.

"Why are you back?" He asked.

"Uhm... Viola asked me..."

"You know what, don’t bother to say anything. Just go wash those dried blood off your body and meet me back here for dinner. Since the dining room is.... not in the best condition, we’ll have it together in the lobby. Hurry!"

"Yes, sir," he said, walking up the stairs immediately.

Ivan returned from the underground basement where Charlotte was shoved into.

"Master, if we leave her for another day, she might end up dying. She has lost one of her eyes, and also, her face has been shredded with a knife so badly that she’s beyond recognition," he explained.

"That was all Fabio’s doing. Who knew he was like that? I thought he was calm and gentle" he folded his hand.

"I’m sure the young master is indeed kind. Everything he has done, he did it for this family’s reputation. He must have been upset because of what Charlotte did to him as a baby" Ivan explained. Antonio rubbed his chin, nodding his head. He agreed to what Ivan said.

He had been with Fabio since he arrived at the manor, so he knew he was a quiet child. Though, he doesn’t know what kind of person he really is, that’s one reason he didn’t want to hand over the position to him.

"This is going to be a hassle"

"What would you do to the young master?" Ivan asked, referring to Fabio who was under the cold shower.

"I have no idea. He’s competent and good enough to be Eduardo’s right-hand man once he returns. If he doesn’t agree to do that, I’ll adopt him as a son or let him leave"

"Master, he has found his mother. You can’t adopt him except he wants it" Ivan reminded him. He waved his hand, laughing it off.

The smile on his face faded immediately. He really doesn’t know what to do to Fabio. Well, that was because he didn’t know the kind of person he really was.

Only if he knew...

.

A few minutes later, Fabio returned, fully dressed and cleaned up. He had a silent dinner with his father, no, with Mr Ivanov. The room was so silent that only the sound of plates and cutlery clanking could be heard.

Antonio finished his meal and gently wiped his mouth with a napkin as he looked at Fabio.

"How is it?" He asked.

"It’s uncomfortable" Fabio answered honestly, picking the glass of wine from the table.

"Of course, it is. Dining in the dining room is much better" he folded his legs as there was no response from him.

Antonio cleared his throat.

"You should meet with your mother. She has been-"

"Can I disagree with that?" Fabio interrupted him because he finished his words.

"Why? You don’t want to meet your biological mother?"

"Yes," he replied.

"I won’t ask any further if you don’t want to tell me. However, since you have no relationship with this family... You’ll have to make a choice. You’re old enough to decide the next phase of your life. Come work for me or... Leave the Ivanov family" he said.

Fabio lowered his head. To them, it looked like he was sad and thinking of what to choose but in reality, he was grinning, as everything was going according to his plan.

His plan is to remain in the Ivanov family and never be apart from Eduardo ever again.
