Chapter 21
Chase arrived at the Pub Crawl and Tyrell was already there.
“Hey Boss” Tyrell waved at him as he walked and pull out a seat, sitting down.
The environment was calm and there was no one around.
“So… what did you find?” Chase asked without wasting time. Tyrell brought out a picture from his phone and show it to Chase.
“Do you recognize him?” Tyrell asked and Chase told him no.
Tyrell went ahead to explain to Chase who the person is.
“The fingerprint is that of him. I don’t know if he have a connection to what happened, but if his fingerprint is in the neck of one of Godfather’s soldier, then he knows something”
“Have you sent for the soldiers to get him?” Chase asked and Tyrell shakes his head negatively.
“I though it’d be best to show you first.”
“I want to see him in my dungeon tomorrow morning. ” Chase said.
They shake hands and parted ways. Chase walk into his car and started the engine then drive off.
THE NEXT MORNING
Chase stepped into Mr. John’s apartment with his guards stopping and standing outside. He entered and Waylen was already there.
He is getting better and recovering from the gunshot.
“Where’s Rowan?” Waylen asked immediately he sees Chase.
“I don’t know, shouldn’t he be here?” Chase asks calmly and went to sit down.
Neither Chase nor Waylen talked to each other and John Gotti didn’t want to cause problem so he just pretended to not notice.
“Rowan was at your apartment yesterday. He’ll be traveling out today and he had decided to stay over at your house , didn’t he tell you? ” Their father, John Gotti asked.
And just then, Rowan walked into the sitting room. John sighs.
“Sorry I’m late , Father. I have to stop on my way to pick up some stuffs” Rowan explained and went to sit down.
“Is Okay” John said.
“I called once more, You guys already know about the recent happening? We don’t know our enemies and we have to keep an close eye on everything…”
“I’ve been wanting to ask you Father. Is there anything like, any business gone wrong in the past that we need to know? I don’t think any one will be after us expect they’re after something too.”
Rowan asked and there was silence, more like everyone was thinking . Mr John then cleared his throat and Said.
“The only person I can think of, is your uncle. Who disappeared two days to the day I got my Omertà. ”
“Uncle Edward?” Waylen asked and John nodded.
Chase didn’t say a word but he just paid attention , hearing her father talked about Edward, he could only think and wonder if he had a hand on Madison’s death.
“What happened Father?” Rowan asked.
“Edward wasn’t okay that I got the Omertà before him. He wasn’t capable enough to have the Omertà since he don’t always pay attention or care about the business, My father who’s your great Godfather have to deny him getting the Omertà”
“Two days to the days I’m supposed to get my Omertà, Edward disappeared from our penthouse and we never see him again. I only saw a note he wrote there, that he’ll come back to take what I took away from him”
“So , do you think Edward killed Madison? In an attempt to start causing us pain?”
“I don’t know about or whatever that happened to Madison. Listen, I understand you love Madison even to her death and she’s part of the family but I think she’s better off gone” Mr John said.
Chase’s blood heated up as he stared at his father.
“You shouldn’t say something like that father” Rowan cautioned his father seeing the look in Chase’s eyes.
“I don’t think you understand what love is , That was why Mother couldn’t even stay with you because you don’t value or care about your family other than your business!” Chase told him.
“Enough of that Chase;! Don’t you fuckin pathetic son talk to me like that”
“Pathetic?” Chase scoff but didn’t say any more words. He was boiling in anger but he chose to control himself.
The words of Calista is still in his mind and he doesn’t know why but he doesn’t want Calista to hate him.
“So you think Edward might have an hand in the stolen goods of ours?” Waylen asked.
“I’m not sure, but the only person I can think of is him. I’ll be sending Rowan away for a couple of weeks, once he complete the assignment given to him. He’ll be getting his omertà” John announce.
“Thank you father, I promise I won’t disappoint you” Rowan tells him.
“How’s your wound, Waylen?” Chase asked and Waylen just glared at him before replying.
“Healing”
John Gotti stood up and dismissed the three sons then walk away from the sitting room heading to his inner chamber.
Waylen stood up too and walk out of the apartment.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Chase stood up but Rowan stopped him.
“Can I talk to you for a second?” He asked and Chase stop to look at him. He nodded and sit back down.
“What?”
“I want to talk to you about Calista” Chase’s eyes seems to lit up hearing the name and Rowan didn’t fail to notice that.
“What about her?”
“I know I’m not supposed to be saying anything about what goes in you house and others but I spend some time with Calista last night and….”
“You did what?” Chase asked sounding like a jealous man and an angry man at the same time.
“I know man, and that’s why I’m talking to you about it myself.”
“You do realize you ain’t and don’t have the right to flirt with what I claimed?” Chase asked.
“She’s not even your girlfriend Chase but your slave! Hear me fuckin out man”
Chase seems to realize he’s over reacting and so he kept quiet and just bring out a stick of cigarette from his pocket.
“What’s your plan for her?” Rowan broke the silence.
“What do you mean my plan for her? I don’t need to have a plan for someone paying the price of her father’s miserable mistake. She isn’t the first”
“I know, I talked to her last night and I got to realize that she wished to continue her education. She wants to go back to college”
There was silence.
Chase didn’t say a word and instead he just lighted the cigarette and took a smoke in.
“How’s that my fuckin business?”
“You ain’t that heartless to say no to her right? She’s a slave to you yes! But she didn’t do anything to you, her father did. So I don’t think you’d just be keeping her in all day without her doing anything, I think she’d like you if you grant her this request. ”
“I don’t need no bitch to like me”
“Does that makes Madison a bitch too? ”
Chase looked up at Rowan and frowned. “I told you, don’t talk about Madison like that”
“Then, that means you’ll allow her start college again, maybe go for a month and start taking online classes if you think she’s not safe? I think that’s best for her and I decided to talk to you about it myself”
“If that’s all, I’ll take my leave now” Chase said and stood up.
“I’ll be leaving today though…. You take care of her while I’m away” Rowan tells him.
“What are you? Her boyfriend…..!” Chase raised his brows and Rowan smirked.
“I like her..” he tells Chase.
