Having him do some nice missions was pretty good. When things went wrong and people needed medical attention, I sent Dante. I also had some fetch quests for him. It was in constant supply. The guys sometimes got into nasty bumps and scrapes. Especially when taking hostile actions against the Brown Owls. Whether it was healing somebody or exchanging goods, he was able to get all 10 missions done with a couple of weeks. He was proud of himself. I was very happy for him too. Marco was a bit miffed when he found out that I was helping himself. That soon spread to Carlo and Rocco via the group chat. They said it was not fair that they were forced to find work for themselves. I had to remind them why that was. "Dante never stole from me. He never conned my friends out of a free hour with a whore either." I texted. They went radio silent for a couple of days after that. They could not deny that they all had massively fucked up there. They were lucky that all I did was have them get beat up and make them find their own jobs. It could have been so much worse for them. Very ungrateful.
Ronan was throwing his party for Angelo and Paolo first. We went together. Dante wanted to attend as he was their friends. Carlo, Marco and Rocco wanted to attend as well because they were professional acquaintances. The circumstances allowed for all of them to have a fair reason to want to go. I sighed. I could not keep them away. I would be a really bad person to do so. We had a long run. It was probably time to reveal everything. All 4 of them got invitations anyway. I would be going to the event with Dante. Carlo, Marco and Rocco would have each other. I informed the 3 that we would be there. I also told them they were not to talk to us if they saw us. I did it via the group chat. Marco and Rocco both said that they would. I did not hear anything from Carlo about it. I could not push it further though. That would make me more of a huge asshole. Obviously, it did not take long for Carlo to come find us once we arrived at the party. He did not say anything. Instead, he was just staring at us. Dante got creeped out and stepped back. I got in between them. Carlo looked hurt by the big reaction.
Marco, Rocco and Carlo
Seeing that reaction made me break. I held Dante by the shoulder and said "This is someone I need you to meet. I was being a bit rude. This is Carlo Nesta. He is your brother. Dante went wide eyed. "What do you mean!? It's not possible." I had to explain how they came to be. While doing that, Carlo excitedly called Marco and Rocco over. Rocco had already seen him before on my phone. Marco looked him up and down judgmentally. He probably had something to prove in his own head. Rocco did not seem to be too effected either way. Carlo was ecstatic about it. I did not need them to be the best of friends. I just needed them to not hate each other to the point the siblings would try to attack one another. If they did that, our family would fall apart. That night, I had to weather a storm of my own. Dante told Daphne everything. Right on him as a loyal son to his mother. Daphne was pissed off. She did not let me leave our home for a week. If I did, she said that she would walk out on me. I did not want that to happen. I had to come clean about everything I did. It was not a very pleasant feeling.
