Today was my 18th birthday, I was of age, and I had to solve

my economic situation, I could have Piero's last name, but I wasn't his son, so

I had to take care of that little problem, I had to look for my future, and the

only thing that prevented me from achieving it were those two old fucks!

- Where are you going?

One of Piero's men asked me, I looked at him with a frown.

- Since when do I have to tell you? Shouldn't you take care

of Mariano? Go see if he hasn't cut himself with the butter knife.

He laughed and slapped me on the back a couple of times.

- You're the best. I hope Piero sees it too\, this house in

that boy's hands would become a disaster!

I laughed, but it was true! Mariano was useless! he would

never be able to do the things that were needed to move this family forward, I

was the only one who could do it, and I had to prove it, I had to be perfect in

everything! that's why today I couldn't fail!

- Do you need help?

He asked me, I smiled and shook my head, this was something

I had to do alone, and how I was going to enjoy it!

- Don't worry\, I'll be here in two hours.

He nodded and I was on my way.

When I arrived at my grandparents' house I looked around,

there was no employee, so I went inside, I would deal with the cameras later.

- What the hell are you doing here?

My grandfather asked me with contempt, how I hated this

bastard!

- I want my inheritance\, I think it's about time\, I'm your

only relative."

He laughed.

- I'd rather give my inheritance to charity - he said

looking at me.

He said looking at me, how fucked up it was that I looked

like him, we had the same golden eyes.

- It's a pity you don't have a will\, or that you haven't

changed it - He looked at me with confusion.

He looked at me with confusion, I took out the gun and shot

him in the heart, he fell to the ground and looked at me, in his eyes there was

no more rancor, only fear.

I left him lying there and went to look for my dear grandmother,

with her I would be more creative.

- Hello grandma\, how are you?

I asked her entering her room, she looked at me with her

eyes like plates, as she had the gun in her hand.

- On my knees\, I want you to beg me\, and ask me for

forgiveness for everything you have done to me -I pointed the gun at her.

I pointed the gun at her, she slowly got on her knees and

started to cry.

- If you leave\, I will talk to your grandfather and you will

come back to us, we will treat you very well! don't do anything, Tonto! don't

lose this opportunity I am giving you.

I laughed a little, at how ridiculous people were when they

were afraid.

- It's very difficult\, Grandma! Do you want to kill him?

I scratched my chin with the gun.

- No! In fact I've already killed him\, now all I'm missing

is you, you're in the way of getting what I want, and thank you for not having

any more children.

She began to cry out loud.

- Please! I'll give you whatever you want! But don't kill

me! I beg you!

I threw the gun on the bed and pulled out the knife.

- I want your tongue -

I told her and she started to deny.

- Then I'm going to kill you\, choose\, grandmother.

She started to tremble, the look she gave me was one of

terror, she and my grandfather were afraid of me.

- Let's make it quick\, I have to go back.

I grabbed my grandmother and forced her tongue out, I gave

her a clean cut, she started choking on her blood and I smiled at her.

- I lied! I want you dead too.

I picked up the gun again, shot her in the head and left the

room.

- What are you doing here?

A guard shouted, I shot him, one bullet, I never missed!

I went into the room where the cameras were and erased

everything!

*

I was eating peacefully when one of the father's men came

in, Piero's wife was next to his son, how ridiculous.

- They killed the Salvatore's.

They all stared at me and the father smiled.

- Who did it?

he asked.

- Nobody knows\, the lady had her tongue cut out and the

gentleman was shot in the heart.

I cut the meat from the plate and put a piece in my mouth,

it was delicious!

- I will not take care of the funeral - I told him.

I said, Mariano was accusing me with his eyes.

- I'll take care of it\, what do you know about the

inheritance?

Father was very smart.

- I suppose they will leave it to the only living relative -

he answered looking at me.

He answered looking at me, I continued chewing calmly and

smiled.

- So will you live there or stay here?

Dad asked me, I drank some water and looked at him.

- I think I'll go\, it's better\, but I'll miss you so much!

I said smiling.

YEARS LATER

I walked into my father's house, all his guards gave me a

slight bow by way of greeting, I returned the greeting.

Today was father's birthday, so the whole family was gathering

to celebrate another year of life of the head of the family.

Years ago I had chosen to take my grandparents' surname, I

no longer wanted to be the head of this family, now I wanted to be simply

Fabien Salvatore, the most feared man in Sicily and in all of Italy.

- I don't understand why you want to come here\, it's

dangerous.

Jacob my right hand man told me, over the years I had

accumulated many enemies, among them my own "family" so I had to be

careful.

- That's why you are here with me\, now relax\, it will only

be a couple of hours.

I headed straight to the dining room, as soon as I entered

everyone was silent, I was delighted by everyone's reaction when they saw me,

my father was at the head of the table, watching everything, like a predator.

- Good morning family -

I greeted and sat at the other end of the table.

- Good morning Fabien -

They all said in unison except my father, who was looking at

me with a proud face.
