Julius Oppenheimer Jr 소설 & 이야기

“So what’s your question?” I stared at his good-looking face. I just noticed now that his eyes were pitch black and every time he blinks, the color suddenly changes into golden brown. His face gets closer to me, but not close enough that we would kiss. Just enough for us to see each other clearly and closely. Jacob is already twice my age, his son is years older than me. And yet he remained that silent power within him. “I really don’t have any question. I just wanted to say something since it seemed like we’re just gonna spend the whole time in this room with silence.”

He looked old and sullen. The man to the right of Argus was a young man, about 20 at most with slick backed brown hair and a smattering of stubble along his face. He had a few scars and tattoos on his arms. He was the rapist father to one of the breeder's children. He was forced to work as a lowly warrior rather than the higher up one he was meant to become.

I nodded. “Thank you for that. Have you found out anything yet?” He shook his head. “No, Felix and Cornelius have been working on it.” I looked at him confused. “Why are they working on it?” He looked over at Lynn and she nodded at him. “Jensen, Cornelius is the Don of the Roman mafia. He is the reason why we were able to save you.”

Lucia also ignored my phone, she just took care of me all day and gave me love, while the time passed slowly. The next day I could walk and lie down in bed like a normal person, I no longer depended on Lucia to get up and change my clothes, I remembered how difficult it had been to live a few hours ago. However, when I left the room to join Matheus, my girlfriend's father was in the living room. He looked at me somewhat indignantly. "So you're Jared Ackerman?" "Uh... Yeah..." "The wolves in the woods are pretty weird, especially the ones in your family. Did you know your dad was a mobster and did time?"

I read story after story of tragedy; whole families killed, children left orphaned, businesses destroyed… and then I came across the memorial piece for the Luna. A black and white image of her funeral took up the whole front page. The photographer had captured the shot from the side, showing Julius standing at her coffin, wearing a plain black suit, his head held high as he looked forward into nothingness. There was no evidence that he had shed any tears, in fact his face seemed to lack emotion altogether. It mirrored the face of the man who stood beside him, an older gentleman who I assumed was his father.

Leo spoke as he walked closer us and sat on the bed. A gasp left my mouth in horror.... My dad smiled at me painfully before looking at my brother, “I am already dying Leo. I have already lost half my property to Russo....worst I will be sent to prison soon. I have only you two left. My precious children....but Sapphire your sudden disappearance....it made me wonder you don’t care slight about your father.....” A tear rolled down my father eye and I felt my heart shattering. Guilt punched me hard in my gut.

“Oh, you don’t know how much.” Even though I know I should leave, I can’t make myself do it. Sliding my hand through my hair, I slide my fingers across the desk’s smooth surface and lean back. “Is that why you looked like you were going to throw up when I dropped you off?” Jules gives me a self-deprecating snort. “Yeah, my dad can be a little… rigid.” “What does he do?” I ask. “He’s the senior scientist and CEO of Romanis Research.”
