Chapter 38 - Gael (2)
That's where Giovanni and I are different. He's a lot more like his father. So when Don Severino died, it hit him so hard and messed him up so badly, he rejected the position to rise the ranks to replace my father's previous position. Giovanni didn't think he deserved it. With my father becoming the new Don, the position was vacant for a while. Giovanni made a deal with me to take it given I was my father's heir. And I had no choice but to.
So now we're in this weird limbo where I've been promoted, reporting directly to my father, and Giovanni is sort of working for me now.
I'm not complaining. Being in this position definitely has its advantages. And I'm excellent at this job, tripling our revenue in just a short while. But since then, I also have to deal with this bullshit. This grown-ass man whose heart has been crushed to pieces years ago. It fucked him up so bad, he's never been the same.
I miss the old Gio.
