Union Of Death (Secrets of The Famiglia Part 2) novel Chapter 42

1 month later

I head to the door of my house, and that is when my phone rings. They say a ring can come in many forms, and mine came in this one.

“Hello Papa.”

“Hello, Aliyana.”

“You sound so serious, is everything okay?”

“I need to see you, I'll be there in the next hour.”

“Okay. I didn't know you were in the city.”

“I wasn't until a few hours ago, there has been an accident, the Rasetto’s family plane blew up, no one survived.”

I listen to my father and I still don't know what that has to do with me. But Marco comes to mind and my hands get sweaty. I haven’t seen him since my sister and her baby died.

The other Shadows agreed it was best he kept his distance. The death of my sister still a wound not yet healed.

Lucca Sanati attacked me because of Marco. He kidnapped my friend Kylie because of Marco. The Shadows searched for her, day and night but we couldn’t find her. We knew the clock was ticking.

My father arrives in an hour just like he said and I go to his office, that was destroyed in the explosion along with my sister. My mother’s picture no longer sits on his desk. His office is just a room, with some books, not his any longer.

“I have killed many innocent people in my plight for power, I have never claimed to be a noble man or a fair one. And life has certainly not given me any reprieves, I have taken the power I have wanted in blood. I have loved one woman only to lose her because of her betrayal. But Aliyana, from the moment you were born you have been my redemption, you, Aliyana have been the one thing in my life I have loved without condition. You always knew I was a bad man, but you accepted my love, my status as your father.”

“Papa?”

“You knew that I would protect you from anyone who did you wrong. And I have, I have made you strong. Given you everything and only asked you for so little. But today my child, I must ask you for forgiveness after I ask you to give yourself to another.”

“Papa?” I whisper again, confused.
