HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
"I can take care of both of them. Don't worry, if the time is right, I will give you the full BCIF," said Benvolio briefly without considering all that Callista told to him.
"Can you take care of both? What's the proof? Aren't more victims falling because of your selfish and stubborn attitude? For example, Biserka's twin sister, Mataya. She's like that because of you, right?" Callista said, bringing Benvolio back to his senses.
"What if their side finds out the fact? They'll start looking for the Constanzo Family's loopholes and destroy us all. And what's worse, we could turn the Canta Family into enemies of the Constanzo Family! That's all too much, Ben!" Callista said again and grew even more furious with Benvolio.
Callista had tried various ways long ago to persuade Benvolio to stop hunting and investigate the 'monster lair'. But none of her methods and persuasion were able and succeeded in destroying or breaking Benvolio's desire to pursue the 'monster lair'.
Callista is very upset with Benvolio, who is very stubborn and selfish.
"I know, Callista. I might turn the Canta Family into enemies of our Constanzo Family and start a war with them. But I still can't let go of my 'hunt'. No, never, until I get the answer and the truth."
Things are getting heated between Benvolio and Callista. The two of them are still arguing with each other. Nothing is right, and nothing is wrong. They are just voicing their opinions and thoughts to each other, and that's a natural thing, isn't it, if there are differences in them.
Pavlo saw that situation, and the problem was getting tense between Benvolio and Callista. It was possible that they would argue further if left alone. He tried to change the topic of conversation between the two.
"Ok, that's enough, both of you. Cal, what business did you have that make you called me over and over again?" said Pavlo, who went straight to the point of what he wanted.
Callista rolled her eyes, staring at Pavlo lazily. "Yeah … that's right, Pavlo. I'm talking to Benvolio. Ask about that later."
"What you did with Benvolio just now wasn't a conversation, Cal. It was an argument," Pavlo replied, reassuring Callista.
Callista took a deep breath. She didn't like Pavlo's attitude of meddling like this between herself and Benvolio. Yes, if only her father had not allowed Benvolio to make Pavlo his assistant, maybe an incident like this would never have happened.
*flashback on*
The Constanzo Family's luxurious residence. Milan, Italy.
February 14, 2015. At midnight.
On that day, the Constanzo Family held a very lavish party at their famously luxurious residence. The party was attended by many important people from all over the world.
Xavier, as the head of the Constanzo Family, gave a speech to the guests that night. He and his wife, Ellen, thanked the guests for taking the time to attend their 8th wedding anniversary celebration party.
The guests who attended the party also cheered happily to celebrate the happiness of the husband and wife on their wedding anniversary.
After finishing the greeting, Xavier and Ellen returned to enjoying the party together on their happy day. Ellen couldn't stop smiling because she was so happy tonight. Even though Xavier holds this party every year, Ellen still can't stop being glad every time given a surprise by Xavier.
Benvolio approached his adoptive parents. He gave them a piece of art by a famous 17th-century artist that he had won at an auction two days ago.
The price of the artwork was so high, and he had to spend at least 60 million euro to win the auction and get the artwork. Benvolio, who was 17 years old, was able to make that much money because he was a famous detective in Italy.
He managed to complete and solve missions that never complete for years in Italy. Even he had become a detective in other countries because of recommendations from the Italian government to other countries. When he was still very young, you could say that he had become a well-known international detective and a young billionaire.
"Buon anniversario di matrimonio, mamma papà! Possa Dio benedire il tuo matrimonio finché morte non ti separi. (Happy wedding anniversary, Papa Mama! May God bless your marriage until death does you all apart)." Benvolio kissed Ellen on the cheek and gave Xavier the usual high fives men would do to each other.
Ellen smiled, "Grazie caro, (thank you, dear)," she said along with Xavier, who also thanked Benvolio and smiled warmly.
After he finished congratulating his adoptive parents, Benvolio again said something to the two, "Uhmm, ho qualcosa da dire a entrambi e spero che possiate esaudire questa mia richiesta.
(Uhmm, I have something to say to both of you, and I hope both of you can grant my wish)."
