Secretly The Godfather's Heir

Surprise

He has seen different cards. He has delivered different cards. But this... He has never seen or owned it.

Never!

A Black card was in his hands and he will be doomed if he said that he was not shocked.

He raised his gaze back at Justin who had a smile on. "I thought you might need some things. So you can use that till we can get hold of the situation and you will be able to meet the elders of the Seven Families." He said.

Cole did not know whether he should thank him or fall to his knees and worship. "Thank you." He told Justin who just shook his head like it was nothing.

"Let us go. I noticed your wife was quite worried when we wanted to enter." He told him and they both exited the office.

“Wait,” Cole stopped Justin. “Don't tell anyone I am the new boss yet.” He said.

Justin thought about it and understood. He gave him a curt nod.

As soon as they stepped out, Seth's laughter rang out but soon stopped when he saw Cole walking out with his body parts complete and no injury whatsoever to show that he was beaten.

Surprise also coated Martin’s face as he saw Just Justin walking towards them with something that looks like a smile on his lips. Justin hardly smiles.

This meant something...

"What happened?" Seth whispered into Martin's ears.

They soon got to their place. Justin seemed to notice the confused looks on their faces so he clarified it. "I know you must be shocked but don't be. Cole here happens to look like the grandson of my friend."

"What?!" Martin exclaimed.

That happened so fast. His friend’s son? Ridiculous.

"Are you sure? You know we are created in twos. He might just resemble him and you can be mistaken." Seth said, hoping Justin will rethink what he said.

Cecilia hissed out. "Really? What is with the twos and threes? If he says that he is his friend’s son, who are you to dispute it? Maybe you want to be thrown out of the party for saying Justin Sir is lying. You know he hates it."

Seth and Martin swallowed hard and raised their hands in surrender. "We are sorry. We are just looking out for imposters." They said, their voice going down.

Justin nodded his head and patted Cole on his back before he left them to deal with his guests.

"So what if he is the son of his friend? He is still poor." Seth scoffed.

Cole clenched his fist in anger. This man was pushing his anger limits.

Martin nudged Seth by the arm. "Even if he is the son of his associate. Who knows if his father had gone bankrupt, he is still a pauper and knowing Justin will not guarantee that he will get rich. Don't be bothered." He told him.

With his eyes on Cole, Seth gulped down his wine. He did not like the feeling of Justin being close to Cole at all. Justin can easily help Cole become rich and it was not good for him.

Martin went on. "It does not seem like Justin likes him by the way. I mean we all know how Justin treats everyone he likes and it is a really rare thing if he likes someone."

Seth finally nodded his head and the fear and anger he was feeling were suddenly gone.

Cole did not know what to make of the situation at hand at all. He could remember everything but he did not want to make it obvious since he did not know who his enemy was.

He needed to keep a low profile now if he does not want his head on a platter.

He turned to Cecilia who was busy staring at him. He smiled and moved closer to her. "Were you worried about me?" He asked.

She gave him a dark frown. "Worried? I was not for a bit. I just thought that it would be a shame if you died today. It would be a stain on the Downs Family name." Her voice turned cold and uncaring.

She took her gaze away from him.

He shook his head and continued sipping his wine.

He was going to prove to her that he is more than that.

He was going to make her love him and give her the whole world if he has to.

"Seems like you both are having a couple's fight. Should we help you to resolve it?" Martin asked with a mocking tone.

Cecilia ignored him.

Throughout the party, Cecilia did not talk to Cole who was quite cool with it. He knew that she did not like him.

Suddenly, Justin rose to the podium and greeted the people. They all turned to him and he made an eye contact with Cole who was watching with interest.

“I welcome you all to the party.” He started. They all clapped and he nodded.

“As we all know that the party was aimed at introducing a new boss who have just returned after twelve years and he is the Heir to the Godfather’s throne. He has also said that there would be new projects which are over a trillion dollars." He said and everyone was utterly shocked at the revelation.

Everyone was shocked because they never thought the heir would come back so soon. They began to wonder who this new boss was.

They all looked around, hoping they would catch any glimpse of him. They all wanted to partner with him he was a big shot.

“But… there will be certain families which the project

will be given to.” He noted.

Every one became tense. Who was the big boss going to choose?

“Every names of those who came for the party has been given to him. Now. We will for his reply.” He said and everyone began to whispers to one another.

After a while, a guard climbed the podium and gave him a sheet of paper. Justin’s eyes narrowed on the paper and looked back up. There was a total silence in the hall and everyone was filled with suspense.

“The new boss has chosen just one family and a person from the family.” He announced.

The men could be seen gulping hard while the ladies tapped their foots against the floor impatiently.

Who was it going to be?

“Th person is… Cecilia Downs.” And he announced.

“What?”
