2. Sebastian

Sitting at my desk, I sighed heavily before a knock came at the door. I had a meeting tonight with Manuel, he has been in the mafia for a long time, even when my father was in charge. My second in command and bodyguard Deigo opened the door, stepping aside to allow Manuel to step inside.

"Please sit down, we need to chat," I explained as I pointed to the empty chair across from me.

Manuel nodded, walking over towards the chair while Deigo closed it and stood by it.

"I've been looking over the charts for the bar and I can see that Liliana is doing well, because of her singing. She has attracted over a thousand customers. How is everything going?" I asked.

Manuel fixed his posture in the seat, "Everything is going well, although I wish Liliana was doing more for the bar, of course she does a lot but there is more to do."

Frowning at Manuel, what did he mean? Were his other children not helping run the place? Manuel promised me that his family were going to run it for me, as it was easy access to hide a lot of things in packages there.

"Are your children and wife not there?" I asked.

Manuel paled for a moment, "Well.. you see some of my children have got study so they can't work as much. I mean Savannah would have been a much better singer in my opinion, she used to bring in, more customers than Liliana. Have you thought about meeting up with Savannah?"

"For starters, I chose who does what in my bar, secondly your daughter Liliana is really talented, I'm surprised you don't see it and thirdly, how many times do I have to say it. I am not interested in Savannah," every day it was the same question.

I have never been interested in Savannah, but Liliana has always caught my attention. Ever since I noticed her, I began to see more things in her that I adored.

Manuel shut his mouth as he noticed my temper was rising, "Sorry boss. Of course."

I looked at the books one more time, "We have a delivery coming tomorrow afternoon, I will be there to see it be delivered."

Manuel nodded, I knew he didn't like that fact I was coming in. He normally didn't, if he wasn't close to my father, I would have fired him a long time ago but him and my father go way back. Of course my father can most times get sick of him, he is a good worker.

I was about to speak when another knock came at the door, frowning, "Come in."

Deigo stepped aside and allowed the door to open, once it was. Liliana popped her head in, tears were streaming down her face.

"Liliana! What are you doing here!" Manuel seethed as he stood up and made his way towards her. "You are soaking up Sebastian's floor and making me look back. Fix yourself up."

He grabbed her by the hair which sent fire down my whole body hearing her whimper.

"Let her go Manuel, Deigo will see you out," I stepped towards them, allowing Deigo to pull off Manuel from Liliana.

The two men left the room while I held Liliana in my arms, "What's wrong? Why did you come here?" I asked.

Taking her over to the seat, I helped her sit down. She contuined to cry in her hands, rubbing her back. I wasn't much for comforting people as it wasn't my job but something was stirring inside me hearing those sobs leave her plump pink lips.

"You're shivering, what happened Liliana?" I asked.

She hiccuped for a few seconds before wiping her eyes, "I got home from my shift and saw my sister f*****g my boyfriend."

That's right, Liliana was dating a guy for about a year his name was Thomas. I knew he wouldn't be good for her but who was I to tell her no. I want her to be mine but she found him while I was in a dark place.

"Don't cry Liliana, he isn't worth your tears... let's get you cleaned up. You can stay here tonight."

Liliana looked up at me, "Are you sure?" A hiccup left her mouth again.

"Of course, I don't want you going home. Not with him. I'll send Felicity to fix you a bed and a bath. You can wear my clothes."

I escorted Liliana out of my office where Deigo was waiting with Manuel behind him.

"Manuel, it's time you go home. I will see you tomorrow. Make sure someone covers for Liliana, as she will not be in. She will be staying here for a few days."

"She can't, she's my daughter!" Manuel growled causing Liliana to flinch and stand behind me.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that! I am still your boss. She may be your daughter but right now she is shaking from being cold, she deserves a break. Diego escort him out!" I seethed pointing my finger at Manuel.

Diego nodded and did what I asked while I attended to Liliana. I called Felicity up the the spare room while I went through my closet to see what I could give Liliana.

"You were the first person I thought of when I left the house. My mother told me it was my fault I got cheated on because I didn't give myself to him," Liliana spoke breaking the silence between us.

Staring at her, I was shocked. I knew her parents were cold-hearted towards her, I had always seen it but I didn't realise it was this bad.

"It's not your fault you were cheated on, Thomas didn't know how to keep it in his pants. If he truly loved you like he said, he would have fought those urges with your sister. I don't mind you came here, in fact I'm glad."

"You are?" She gasped.

If only she knew, smiling at het, I finally found a perfect track pant and shirt for Liliana to borrow, although I would love to see her just in my shirt and nothing else.
