Hiding the Billionaire Mafia’s Twin

Tito’s POV

“Do you understand that?!” I gritted my teeth furiously and flew another punch to his face. This time, he lost total balance and landed harshly on the floor. He groaned loudly; he must really be a weakling.

“Tito!” Fiorella yelled from behind and ran to his aid, she knelt down beside him and touched his face worriedly.

“What is wrong with you? Why must you always act like a savage?” Fiorella yelled at me, I swallowed hard when she did, her reaction made me both furious and heartbroken.

“I won’t allow you flirt with such a man, you are mine, Fiorella, that should always be in your mind!” I yelled possessively, I was never someone to sugarcoat my words, I was blunt to the core but when he comes to her, I just can’t be candid.

“Excuse me?” Fiorella softly cackled.  “I am not yours, you don’t own me Tito, get that into your head,” She added and faced the whimpering idiot who started taking advantage of the attention given to him.

My eyes flashed with pain but I only growled in response.

“Sergio, are you okay? Can you stand?” Fiorella asked softly and helped him up, he held her waist for support, I just had to hold back the rage burning in me right now.

“Don’t leave till I come back, we need to talk,” Fiorella frowned at me and took the coward upstairs.

I grunted and ruffled my hair in frustration, a hand came on my shoulder.

“You should not have done that Tito,” Mr Denero said from behind and stepped forward.

“I think l shouldn’t have brought you, maybe it was a, bad idea and-”

“P-papa don’t say that, I couldn’t control my anger that’s all,” I scoffed and shrugged with my hands up in the air.

“That’s the problem, I shouldn’t have brought you because I knew this would happen, is this how you would have behaved if that annoying old woman was here?” Mr Denero whispered, scolding me like a child, I regret bringing him into this, now he was scolding me in front of my kids, outstanding!

“Pa, enough, I have had enough, I should just watch another man flirt with the woman I love, she is my woman, the only one in my heart, my heart aches when I see her showing care and being endearing towards that idiot!” I hissed.

“You are so stubborn, I wonder who you got this, attitude from,”

I glanced at him and nearly laughed but there is nothing funny about this situation so I held it back, Lilian skipped to me and touched my hand.

“Do your fingers hurt?” Lilian muttered, carefully touching my knuckles that were a bit red. I am certain she witnessed the fight, but that was not such a good impression.

“Papa, you are like Roman reigns,” She giggled and played with my fingers.

I laughed at her childishness, comparing me to a famous wrestler. I was happy about it. She touched my hand, thankfully I had plastic surgery done long ago, so my skin was back to normal.

“Your skin feels like mine,” She giggled.

I raised my gaze up, I would love to know what was happening between them.

I left the kids to bother Papa, I heard voices from one of the rooms and I followed the voices I heard and I stopped at a door where Fiorella’s voice became more audible.

“Slowly please,” I heard and placed my ear close to the door.

“Sorry, I want to apologise on his behalf, he is like that sometimes.” Fiorella apologised, I sneered.

‘I owe him no apology’ I thought.

“Why did you kiss him?” Sergio asked.

I rolled my eyes mentally and placed my ear back on the door.

“Do you still love him? I have caught you crying while staring at his pictures, do you still have feelings for him?” Sergio bombarded her with questions.

I waited for her response and it came. “I don’t know,”

That response was short but it cut deep in my heart.

“That means I still have a chance we can be together, right, Fiorella?”

“I will be your date on the company party,” She replied, averting his question.

“I love you,” He said and there was silence, I imagined what they were doing in the room.

I flung the door open and barged in, they broke the kiss instantly, it was like my heart was torn to shreds. Fiorella stared at me with guilty eyes.

“I will take my leave,” Sergio said avoiding my brutal look on him, he left the room leaving us both alone, what typical coward he is.

“Fiorella, what was that about?”

“I don’t have to explain myself to you,” She yelled back and stood up.

“Why are you doing this to me! We kissed moments ago, didn’t it mean anything to you?”

“I don’t know, I acted on impulse, I missed you and when I saw you I couldn’t control my emotions, that’s all to it!” She said harshly and folded her arms to her breasts.

“I thought you have forgiven me,” I muttered trying not to quiver at the edge of my voice. Her words were hurtful to me, the kiss gave me hope but it has now been shattered.

“Yes I have Tito but you left, you never considered that Lilian needed a father, you still repeated the same thing, you left!…” Fiorella paused to catch her breath.

“I cried so many nights not knowing what jail you were in, I didn’t know how you were treated in there, there are a lot of people who get killed in jail by hardened criminals, I was so worried I asked myself so many questions, if you were dead, if you were eating well, maybe you got sick, were you given medical attention? were you – “She broke down in tears and couldn’t finish her words.

I loved that she still cared about me.

” I am sorry,” I muttered and walked to her, tried touching her shoulder but she moved away from me and cried in her palm for some seconds before sniffing.

“Rella, it wasn’t my fault, I felt guilty, I killed your father, made you suffer, I deserved worse than jail, I should be dead, I deserve hell,” I muttered and sniffed.

I cupped her cheeks and made her face me. “I couldn’t bear the guilt anymore, I wasn’t thinking straight either,”

“I feel hurt seeing you with him, I never for once forgot you in jail, you and the kids were always on my mind, in my heart, I longed to see you but I was ashamed and scared of how you would welcome me,” I added and she stared at me in disbelief.

I mentioned ‘scared’, I have only said that word a few times but this time I mean it.

“I was scared of first losing you and Lilian and then scared of meeting you all again, you made me so secure with the kiss but I guess…” I trailed off.

“I guess, you can’t bring yourself to truly forgive me, think deeply and let me know if I still have a place in your heart… I will wait even if it takes forever,” I sniffed and stepped away from her.

Tears dropped from her cloudy eyes and she lowered her gaze.  I sighed and walked away. I expected her to stop me but she never did. I went downstairs and said goodbye to the kids.

“Papa is leaving, be good kids,” I smiled and pecked each of them on the forehead.

“Will you come back?” Lilian asked with a sad pout.

I smiled and tugged her nose gently. “You will see Papa sooner than you imagine, even in your dreams,” she giggled at my words.

“Your phone number?”

“Don’t worry, I will back, I will never leave again,”

“I don’t trust you” Noello frowned.

“I cross my heart, i will come back, pinky promise,” I smiled and did pinky promise with my little fingers and theirs.

“I love you my three musketeers,” I smiled and kissed them again.

“We love you too,” they said in unison.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I left with Papa who they  waved at.

Tito’s POV

I freshened up and cleaned my wet body with a wet towel, I was half naked with a towel wrapped around my waist. My phone rang and I went to pick it up. It’s an old phone, new brands are out now. I sighed and checked the screen, it was an unknown number.

I answered it. “Hi, did you miss me?”

That was the first thing I heard and my eyes widened, my lips trembled.

“Tito, cat got your tongue?”

The phone dropped from my hand in shock as my hand visibly shook.  “It can’t be,”
