The other guy said and he sat on his chair with a sm-irk.
The devil
Heartless monster
Stubborn
je-rk ✅
He’d already gotten used to people calling him those names . But no one truly knew him and what he’d gone throu-gh.
He stared at his friends as they talked amongst themselves .
” The elites ” that was the name of their circle .
4 rich self made billionaires who’d struggled their way up to riches .
He’d rebelled against his family and became what he truly wanted .
The elites where not exactly a mafia group , neither did they do illegal businesses , but they where in contact with the Italian mafia .
Which of cause made them a lot of enemies .
His friends group consisted of Christan , Andrew , Nicolas his bestfriends and members of the elites .
He was the number fourth member .
” Hey what are you thinking about ? Andrew asked drinking from his glwi-nk of alcohol whilst some girls mwi-nkaged their shoulders , he’d signaled the other girls to give him space .
” My grandpa called after a long time , he wants me to attend the family’s dinner tonight ” Marco said .
” And you’re going ? Nicolas asked .
” Of cause …” He answered with a sm-irk .
” Good luck with ruining the dinner , pa-rtner ” Christian patted his back .
As they talked about business his eyes caught sight of gorgeous and beautiful woman in red dress and black heels walk into the club and into some where different .
Who was she ?
He hadn’t got to see her face .
” What are you looking at ? Andrew asked and he turned back to his friends .

” And the princess finally arrived ” Celine hailed as Danny sat next to them and ran her fin-gers in her hair .
” Gosh have you been crying ? Stefano pannicked .
‘ no I just wanna get drunk …. I wanna ease this pain in my che-st ??? I can’t bear it ” she choked as she cried .
” Aww come here bambina ” Stefano said as he hu-gged her .
” I seriously nee-d Alcohol in my system ” Danny said with tears rolling down her eyes .
” Ok …..You really wanna loosing up ? Fine I’d get you drunk ” Celine said raising a bottle of alcohol and she chuckled as she placed her bag on the table .
” Whoo oooo” stafano and his boyfriend hailed as Celine opened the bottles of alcohol .
She drank one and raised the glwi-nk chuckling .
” More ” Danny said as she finished two bottles .
” Daniella I think you should slow down ” Celine said alarmed .
” No … Why should I ? Mom doesn’t want me ? neither does my dad … People wanna be with me just because I’m the rich heiress of my mom … I don’t know what I’d have done without you guys ” she cried .
” Nothing I ever do pleased that woman ” she bursted .
” I wanted to study arts ? buh I studied business for mom , I thought she’d finally love me …. I dress in her choice of clothes … Even my hair do ?? how pathetic ” she cried .
” I hate feeling like this …. There’s a pa-rt of me that wanna rebel buh I can’t I… Just can’t ” she cried and drank another shot .

” You’ve been staring at the lady in red for sometime now ” Marco heard one of his friends ask
” I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere ” he said staring de-ep .
” fu-cked her before ? Nicolas asked .
” I don’t remember the girls I’ve fu-cked Nick , buh I’m preety certain she’s not one of them ” he said getting up .
” Wait you’re going over to her ? Andrew tea-sed him .
” See you guys later ” he said as he picked his phone and keys .
” Danny where are you going ? Celine asked .
” Danny you’re drunk ” she added .
” I wanna dance ” she said as she climbe-d up the podium .
Tears in her eyes and her dress hu-gged her figure like a second skin .
The audience cheered as she looked damn s-xy .
Marco stared at her on stage and he didn’t nee-d a prophet to tell him , he was preety sure she was just another product of who life had dealt with .
He watched her and as their eyes met on stage all she did was cry .
He ignored her and walked outta the club . He was in no mood to wi-nkociate himself with softhearted people who let people tread all over their heart .
That Marco was long dead , this was.
Marco morreti the 4th member of the elites .
~~~~~~~
The morreti’s gathered to have dinner and Vincenzo checked his phone with a frown on his face .
His dad hadn’t arrived and Marco , he didn’t even have one single hope the guy would even come .
” Bro you’ve been checking the time like you’re waiting for the day Jesus comes …. ” Manuel said and Vincenzo ignored him , he was in no mood for Manuel’s craziness .
” Can we start eating already ? Gilbert is probably still wrapped up in his mistresses arms , why should we starve waiting for the animal ? Fernanda asked angrily and Lenora ru-bbe-d her forehead .
” Mom ” Vincenzo scolded and she placed her little bottle of strong alcohol and ru-bbe-d her nose .
” Good evening father ” Gilbert the father of the house arrived and ki$$ed tobias’s hands then placed it on his forehead .
What suprised Everyone was Tonia his mistress who catwalked next to him like a queen .
” What the fu-ck ” Lenora said shocked and Vincenzo just ignored like nothing was happening .
Lenora tapped her fin-gers on the table whilst glaring at Tonia who chuckled as she ki$$ed Gilbert’s cheek .
Manuel ru-bbe-d Tobias hands to calm the old man’s hurt look .
How could their father stoop the the level of bringing his mistress to their family dinner ?
” Seriously Gilbert ? This is what you’ve turned yourself to ? Fernanda asked staring at the man she’d once loved and married happily .
” Well it’s at least better than the worthless drunk you’ve turned yourself to ” Gilbert taunted and Tonia smi-rked .
” Gilbert you’re nothing but a bastard ” Fernanda screamed .
” Enough ”
” I said enough ” Tobias yelled .
His son and daughter in-law where just the biggest problem in the family .
” I advice you asked Tonia to leave Gilberto ” Tobias said camly .
” Wow so the family who-res get to attend the dinner too ? Marco asked walking in like he owned the mansion .
Vincenzo watched his younger brother walk in , each step filled with power and confidence .
Even if they where not in good terms , one of the things Vincenzo admired about Marco was the guys ability to break the rules and say whatever he wanted , wherever , however and whenever .
” Marco … Marco my son my baby ” Fernanda said as she hu-gged him , he didn’t even hu-g her back .
” Marco you have no rights to talk to Tonia like that ” Gilbert scolded.
” Why ? Because she’s warming your be-d Gilbert ? He asked with a sm-irk .
” Marco ” Gilbert screamed .
” I’m your father and you must give me that respect ” he answered.
” My father ? The last time I checked , I didn’t have one , the man I called one died since my gradeschool ” Marco said with his eyes staring blankly .
” You think I’m an incompetent father , well you’ve been nothing but a prodigal son a bastard that’s what you are ” Gilbert said pointing fin-gers at Marco .
” Says the failure , you’re nothing but a failure Gilbert , failed as a father , a son and of cause an husband ” Marco smi-rked .
” You animal ” girlbert screamed and attacked Marco buh Manuel and Vincenzo pulled them off each other .
Marco straighten his black dress shirt as he laughed .
” I’d fu-cking kill you , you’re as useless as Fernanda ” gilbert screamed .
” You’ve been nothing but a disgrace , you’ve disgraced the morreti’s by working in the kitchen .
cooking for people .
All your life you’ve been nothing but an ungrateful blacksheep ” gilvert cursed at his son and Marco just stared at his father without emotions .
When he was much younger these words used to hurt , he used to cry because of them but gone where those days .
He no longer felt anything when they dropped .
” Dad that’s enough ” Vincenzo spat .
” Why don’t you be more like Vincenzo ? Or Manuel ? All you do is treat the morreti’s like we are not your family ” Gilbert yelled .
” Well you’re not my family got it ” Marco yelled .
” I don’t have a family , neither can I pretend to be happy in this toxic home , you’re all sick . I live my life to please nob©dyand as for you ? He pointed at Tonia who froze immediately .
” Marco that’s enough ” Vincenzo tried to stop him .
” Don’t you dare tou-chme ” he pushed his hands away .
” Marco ” Tobias called as he stormed outta the house .
” You know what you can all just eat the whole dinner yourself , I’m tired of watching this every fu-cking time ” Lenora said as she stormed upstairs .
Manuel stared at the scene not knowing exactly what to say .
Vincenzo ru-bbe-d his face tiredly and Fernanda just ate like everything hadn’t just happened in front of her .
Tonia rolled her eyes . The morreti’s and their drama .
~~~~~~~
A black car zoomed into the compound and Marco came out as he slammed the door shot and matched into his compound .
” Welcome back boss ” an old man greeted as he watched him storm in .
” Do you think he’s okay ? The younger guy asked .
” I don’t think so ”
” Welcome back Marco ” his nanny Cora said and he stopped and turned .
” It’s late thought I’ve told you not to wait up for me nanny ? He asked camly .
” Oh child ” she said and ruffled his hair .
” Do you wanna talk about it ? She asked .
” No ” he answered .
” Whoof whoof ‘ he heard his dog alpha bark as it went after him .
He ran his fin-gers in his hair as the words the man he once called a father ringed in his head .
” You’re worthless Marco ” Gilbert yelled .
His mind went back to the girl at his club the painful look in her eyes and he sighed .

The next day
” Nicole where exactly are we going ? You don’t look healthy I’m worried about you ” Katleah said as she walked behind her stepsister .
” Wait are we going back to the sight ? Nikki come on , I’m sure Mom has forgotten about her money …let’s just leave everything ” Kat pleaded .
” That man has to pay , it’s his fault that zeta had ….” Nicole trailed in anger .
” I’m pretty sure he’s not there ” Kat said as they got closer .
” Good morning ma’am ishu ” Nicole greeted one of the women from the market .
” Oh Nicole how are you ? She asked with a bright smile.
” I’m fine ma’am , do you know the new owner of the land we use to sell our stuffs ? She asked curiously .
” Oh one of the women said he’s the first son of the morreti’s, something ” Vincenzo ,yes Vincenzo morreti ” the lady answered before walking away .
” A morreti ? Nicole they’re one of the wealthiest family alife , we shouldn’t be messing with such people” Kat pleaded as they walked towards the the sight .
She didn’t care if she was gonna pay the consequences of whatever she was going there to do .
Vincenzo morreti had to pay for ruining her already miserable life and that’s all she cared about at the moment
She was gonna make him pay …
TBC
Now we’ve seen just how toxic the morreti’s are .
