Chapter 129: Let’s Make Them Meet!

David arrived at Fabio’s door. He was still using the same old room he was using when he was the young master. Antonio didn’t let him move to the servants’ quarters. There was more than enough room in the manor, so he was allowed to stay in the manor, on the same floor as Eduardo.

David knocked thrice before hearing Fabio’s voice.

"Come in"

He twisted the handle and entered the room. He saw Fabio seated on the sofa, with his feet on the table.

David closed the door behind, scanning the room. It wasn’t his first time in Fabio’s room, but he just realised that the countless framed photos in the room turned out to be of Eduardo. He has always wondered who it was...

"David..." Fabio called his name. He snapped back to reality and averted his gaze to Fabio.

"You look like you had a lot of fun today. Is it stressful to guard my brother?" He asked.

David furrowed his eyebrows.

’Brother? You’re not related to him at all... Quit dreaming’

He wished he could say those words to Fabio, but he just lowered his head.

"Yes, boss"

"Of course you are", Fabio sneered and threw his legs off the table.

He walked closer to David and David stepped back till his back hit against the door.

"You’re really having a lot of fun, while I’m... stuck here, bored to death. I also want to have fun, David" he whispered.

"How can I help you?" David asked, averting his gaze from Fabio.

"How can you help? You can help me in many ways; that’s why you’re my pawn," he said and stepped away. He walked towards the bedside and pulled out a small piece of medicine plastic.

He slipped the plastic into David’s hand. David saw the pills inside and shuddered as Fabio touched his skin. He held himself back from gagging in front of him.

"Feed this to Eduardo whenever I tell you to"

"What?" Fabio yelled.

"Shhh! Don’t act surprised now. This is what I’ve been waiting for ever since I found out my Eddy was alive" Fabio grinned and shrugged.

David’s hand was trembling, staring at the pills.

"What are these pills? Poison? I won’t be a part of this if you’re going to hurt Eduardo..."

Just before he could complete his sentence, Fabio wrapped his hand around his neck, slamming him to the door.

David beat his hand, trying to breathe. With angry veins popping at the corner of his head, he drew his lips closer to David’s ear.

"Eduardo? Did you just call him by his name? I told you to make him fall in love with you, not the other way around. Do you fucking... Understand?" He gritted his teeth.

"Y...yes" David coughed out.

Fabio let go of his neck and watched him fall, coughing hard.

"Don’t make me suspect you, David. You’d better not lose your loyalty for me, or I’ll get rid of you just with the snap of my fingers" he said.

"I apologise, boss" he responded, still coughing.

"Good. Let’s test your loyalty, shall we? Put a pill into his meal tomorrow night. Don’t worry, it’s not poison. Just do as I say"

"Yes, boss" David sprung up and staggered out of the room. He walked four steps away from Fabio’s door before puking all over the floor.

He frowned and clenched his fist. He lowered his head to stare at the pills.

"What the hell is he up to? Could this be... poison?" He grumbled. He wished he could go test what the pill was of and what it was supposed to do, but if one of them went missing, Fabio wouldn’t trust him anymore.

His employee wasn’t Antonio or Eduardo, it was Fabio.

"Shit! There’s nothing I can do to protect Eduardo"

.

.

The next day, everything went on as normal. Eduardo got stuck in the house with his guards. A nervous David, wondering what that pill was going to do to Eduardo and an anxious Fabio who can’t wait to get his hand on Eduardo that night.

While things were quiet in Russia, it was different in Italy.

The Diabolo manor has turned into a mansion of terror. Ever since that day, the day Marcello was supposed to be the master of the house.

Well, he has successfully become the head of the family. There hasn’t been a quiet day in the manor.

A crashing sound came from the room upstairs that morning, Nikolai rested his legs on the dining table, munching on his toasted bread.

Maria was also there, elegantly spreading her jam over her toast.

She was about to take a bite when she saw Nikolai’s leg on the table.

"Can you take those filthy legs off the table?" She said to Nikolai.

"Why? It’s not like there’s a stranger among us for me to eat with manners" he replied, not even sparing Maria a single glance.

Maria dropped her toast, losing her appetite already.

"If you don’t take them off the table in five seconds, I’ll smash them into pieces" she threatened.

Nikolai finally took his eyes off his phone screen and stared at Maria. She was wearing her suit, with her long black hair falling on her shoulders.

She was going to leave the house again today. That’s how it has been ever since her husband became... A monster.

"Don’t transfer your aggression to me. It’s not my fault my brother has no interest in you. I mean, if you work harder, he could like you a bit but not more than Eduardo--"

He immediately kept quiet when Maria threw her fork at him. He dodged and looked back to see the fork stuck in the door.

"Call that name again, and it’ll pierce your eyes next", she threatened.

Nikolai smirked.

"My bad. I forgot the madam of the house has made sure no one mentions Ed... I mean, his name. I’m missing him already; maybe I should head to Russia to see him. It’s really scary here," he shrugged.

There was another crashing sound from upstairs and no one cared.

The dining door opened, and Mario walked in. He had a bandage wrapped around his head. The two that were bickering immediately stopped upon seeing fresh wounds on Mario’s body.

"Isn’t it better to just quit?" Nikolai suggested.

"Ha! I wish I could. Don’t worry; this is the second time it’s happened," he shrugged.

Marcello did the same thing when Carlo died. However, this one was worse than when Carlo died.

He was pissed off that he hasn’t stepped out of his room ever since Eduardo left.

"You’re strong", Maria said, and Mario’s lips curved into a smile.

"Thank you, ma’am"

"What is he up to now?" She asked.

"He refused his breakfast and crashed the plates" Mario sighed heavily.

"Well, at least, he opens the door when it’s you. He never does that when it’s me" Maria slipped her fingers into her hair.

"He threatened to kill me when he found out I was the one who returned Eduardo’s passport to him" Nikolai folded his hands, with a grin on his face.

The dining room became silent again, till Maria pulled her chair backwards.

"If I get Eduardo back, would he open the door?"

"Ha! Do you think Eduardo would return? He has become the Prince of Russia. There’s no way he’s coming back to become a slave" Nikolai responded.

Maria frowned.

According to the contract she has with Marcello, she wasn’t supposed to care about his relationship with other men. For her own relationship with Marcello to go smoothly, there has to be Eduardo or any lover.

She was so excited that Eduardo was finally leaving that she forgot about this. Without him around, Marcello didn’t even spare her a glance.

"Huh? What is this news?" Nikolai said. Everyone rushed to his side to stare at his phone.

It was the news about Eduardo’s ceremony. It was happening on the first of next month.

"Wow, he is going to be a Mafia Lord soon" Nikolai gasped.

Mario adjusted his glasses one more time.

"Would the master be pleased to see this message?" He asked.

Maria doesn’t want Marcello to meet Eduardo again in this lifetime, but if meeting Eduardo is going to make him become a human again, she doesn’t mind it.

"We should tell him about it. Let him meet Eduardo" Maria said.

"Are you sure about it? Would the old master allow it?" Mario adjusted his glasses.

"He’ll allow it, as long as I talk to him first. Since my childish husband has gone crazy over a man, I guess I’ll have to do the work. Make preparations for it, Mario. It’s less than the weeks away" Maria said and walked towards the door.

"Yes, Madam", he replied. She slammed the door closed and it was just Nikolai and Mario left.

Nikolai picked another toast and started munching on it, throwing his legs on the table.

"You have bad table manners, young master"

"Yeah, yeah. I’ve heard that for the second time today. I should also prepare to meet Eduardo. I better warn him about something important" Nikolai bit his thumb.

"What is it?" Mario was curious.

"It’s nothing you should concern yourself with. Shouldn’t you go check on Marcello before he ends up killing someone?"

"Tsk! You’d better not hide anything from me" Mario grumbled and walked away.

Nikolai waited till he was gone before he turned his phone screen off. He remembered the last conversation he had with Fabio.

"I spent time with Fabio in college and I know the kind of devil he is. I’m sure he’s up to something with Eduardo. I’ll stop him, at all cost" he clenched his fist, wearing a determined look.
