As soon as I pulled into my father driveway,  I saw both my father and Massimo standing outside looking at me through my window.

The look on my father's face says alot.

The veins pulsing in his forehead men's he's mad. And tightness in which his arms is folded means he's going to slap me as soon as I leave this car and walk  over to him

Where is the mystery. 

In the face? In the stomach? Fuck maybe he'll knock me out and tie me up for a couple of days to ' teach me a lesson'.

I got out of my car and clenched my jaw. Preparing myself of-course

My eyes drifted to Massimo who looked completely sorry for me.

He should be. I feel sorry for myself right now.

" What's going o___"

Cutting me off was a hard slp to my face.

As expected.

I swallowed and looked back at my father emotionless.

" You fucking stupid piece of shit" he yelled at me.

" I'm sorry" I lowered my head bowing to him.

I didn't know what I did but it was better to apologize to him.

It was your fault,  it will Always be your fault, so apologize to your father Alex is what my mother would of said if she where here .

" I regretted the day you came out of your mother's womb" he spat looking at me disgustingly

" Father" Massimo uttered looking at him in shock.

" You shut your mouth" father yelled at him " you're just like this thing you call a brother... Useless and good for nothing"

Ouch.

That hurt.

" Let him go" he turned to me sternly

I immediately knew who he was talking about .

But I wonder who told him I had the man in my basement.

I bet it was that bitch he calls a daughter-in-law

" Yes father" I replied calmly

Sucking his teeth he walked away back into the house.

My eyes felt heavy, did I really want to cry? Because of that old geezer I call a father?

Fuck no.

" I'll get some ointment to put on your face" Massimo spoke softly

I looked over at him to say something but stayed silent.

I then turn to walk off but he pull me back

" I never slept with her" he confessed " I would never think of doing that to you when I know how much you care about her"

" Why were you in her office then?"

" I saw her with that Demetri guy and I told her to stay away from him" he repiled

I believed him, his reason was valid.

" Maria said you were there for an hour, did you need an hour to tell her to stay away from that bastard?"

I could see him swallow when I asked him.  I bet he was thinking of a lie to tell me

" Will the truth hurt ?" I asked

" Yes" he repiled

" Then lie"

" She wasn't listening to me so I had to convince her that you would kill her if she didn't listen" he repiled

Valid lie.

I smiled and pulled my hand away from him

" You should go get the ointment, I'll wait"

He quickly walked off towards the house.

I touched my face. That part where my father slapped.

Hurts like hell.

Abusive bastard.

***

As soon as Massimo got back we got into the car and drove off.

It was quiet between us ? I still wanted to know what went down between him and Elizabeth.

Even tho we had an agreement for him to lie, deep down I wanted to know.

" Where were you yesterday?" I asked keeping my eyes on the road

" Home" he repiled

The silence was back again. It was like we were complete strangers.

I hated it.

As soon as I got into my drive way I saw Hasley walking out the front door

Both Massimo and I got out of the car walking up towards her

She smiled

" Did you tell father about the man in my basement?" I questioned

Her smile faded quickly and she folded her arm

" How the fuck would I know who u have in your basement u psycho " she scoffed and walk off

I reached out my had to grab her but I fought the nerve .

It was only a few more weeks until the event anyways, as soon as it was over then I can get a divorce once and for all.

" Lest go" I called to Massimo walking into my house.

We both got to the basement and as figured the man was asleep

" Gosh" Massimo gasped " what happened to his face? "

I chuckled, I totally forgot to mention what I did

" I got creative " I smiled looking back at Massimo" do you like it?"

" Hell yeah"

He walked up closer to get a better look

" Elizabeth?" He looked at me confused" why her name?"

" He called her a whore, so I thought It would be clever to write a whores name on his face"

" And your name?"

" His son said he liked me" I sighed " I don't believe it but I told the man I was going to he his son-in-law soon and he got mad"'

Massimo looked shocked at first but then he sighed " seems like I missed alot while I was at home"

Nodding I untied  the man.

His eyes slowly opend and he was greeted with an injection that will make him fall unconscious for a while,

The same one that was used on Elizabeth the first time we met to be exact. 

" Should we put him in a box and gift wrap him" Massimo asked while we were both struggling to bring him up the stairs

" I don't want to waste my  time on something like this " I repiled

We finally got him up the steps and into the car where we made some calls

We told his people when and where he should be picked up.

We left him at a nearby dump across the city.

And by the looks of his condition they better get him before the wild bears do.

" What" I yelled over the phone " you found him? where ?"

" Yes sir, we received a call to pick him up at a dumpster" one of my employees repeated

Fuck that stupid bastard,he really wants to see the real Demetri doesn't he?

" What's his condition is he okay?"

" He's unconscious and he's covered in blood and bruises"

Fucking hell.

I will fucking kill you Alexander Costello!

" Then get him to a hospital, send the info as soon as you can"

" Yes sir, will do"

I hung up the phone and immediately rused to my car.

And to think I actually kind of like that punk.

***

I changed into a suit and made myself look as perfect as my father would want me to be.

It's has been two hours since he has  been in the hospital, but I've received a call that he regained consciousness.

I was glad he was healing faster considering his age.

Sighing I got into my car driving towards the hospital.

" I came to visit my father" I told the lady at the front desk

She didn't even look up at me, she kept texting on her phone.

People in America are so fucking disrespectful when it comes to being professional.

" And Who's that?" she repiled still keeping her gaze down at her phone

" Didn't your Mother teach you to look at people when you're talking?' I questioned

She slowly looked up from her phone at me.

No one in America knew my background so it wouldn't be a surprise she didn't get flustered

If I was in Russia she would be kissing my feet begging for forgiveness

" What's your father name?" She repeated

" Mr Fransisco, a-"

" Top floor room 25" she cut me off getting back to her phone

I wanted to drag her out of that cubicle and show her some fucking manners.

Such fucking disrespect on such a nice day.

I scoffed and walked off towards the elevator.

The door opend and I got on, some guy then held his hand out just in time before the door to closed

He pressed the button towards the top floor and we both waited

He seemed like a ordinary man, how could he afford to have someone on the top floor?

The door dinged and the guy walked out, I followed behind him, he entered a private room and I continued to walked towards my father's room

I knocked and opend the door not wating for a response

He was sitting up on the bed whlites my sister was rubbing his hand

His face had bandages all over, his eyes where red and swollen but he looked relatively clean.

" Father" I smiled walking up to him

I gave him a hug which he denied. I was confused about his actions but I brushed it off

" What is this I'm hearing about you Viktor?" His voice came out low and Stern

" What?"

" Why are you running around with that whore ?"

I knew exactly who he was talking.

I looked over at my sister with a stern gaze " did she tell you?" I asked my father still keeping my gaze at him

" Don't worry about who told me , just answer the question"

" I was just  using her to get close to Alex  so I could get out back" I sighed" I guess it worked" 

He sighed as well. He believed me. I could tell by the way his face changed into relife

" Since as you got me back you should stop seeing her"

" Yes father"
