The Devil's Knife
The Moretti estate always felt too quiet. Silence here wasn't peace. It was cage. A weapon and slavastor Moretti sat at the heart of it- sharpening his son like knives
Luca entered the study when summoned, his steps soundless against the marble floor. The heavy oak door created shut behind him, sealing the air
Slavastor didn't look up at first. He stood by the window swirling his drink Slowly, watching the rain smear the night across the glass
Slavatore Moretti
How's your first day at San Regio
Luca moretti(MC)
it was good
Slavatore Moretti
The DeSantis shipment arrived early finally. I received confirmation from the Hong Kong investors this afternoon
He turned his expression is unreadable
Slavatore Moretti
Things are moving faster than I predict. By the end of this quarter, The Romano foot hold on the southern parts will start to crack. A few more pushes, and we can own them
Luca said nothing he waited as always
Slavatore Moretti
(Shipping his drink)Our people at hospital are still loyal and you Luca.....
He finally met his son's gaze with something colder than pride
Slavatore Moretti
you've made quiet the impression at San Regio
Slavatore Moretti
I heard you're under Dr Damien Romano's supervision. that's good .it's useful
Luca moretti(MC)
He's cautious, but predictable
Slavastor sat behind the desk studying Luca like a crafts man admiring his favorite blade.
Slavatore Moretti
That's why I choose you, my blood, my heir, you learn first you endure, and you obey
Luca moretti(MC)
your orders matter more than anything
Slavastor leaned forward slightly eyes gleaming
Slavatore Moretti
Then listen carefully The Romano empire- it's still think power comes with legacy we'll show them it comes from control
Slavatore Moretti
When the time is right we'll cut the head off their bloodline. The hospital, the funding, the alliances all of it will crumble. And you, Luca.... you'll be the one who brings it down from the inside
Luca moretti(MC)
What do you want me to do next
Slavatore Moretti
Stay close to Damien, learn His habits. his weakness. Make him trust you .love you, if he must then strike
Luca's stomach turned not from guilty but from the familiarity of the game
Luca moretti(MC)
It will be done
Slavastor approached, placing a hand on his shoulder mock affection, sharp as a blade
Slavatore Moretti
I'm proud of you, you'll carry my name long after they've burned
Slavastor's fingers tapped once against the glass
Slavatore Moretti
one more thing
Slavatore Moretti
Affection is a weapon in his world, you're not there to feel, you're there to finish. you're there to win their trust -not lose yourself in it
Slavatore Moretti
Don't forget who made you worthy. And I know what's good for you because father love you so much, you know it right?
Luca gave a nod, perfectly measured
Luca moretti(MC)
(quitely) Yes father
