LUNA

Chapter 6

Vincenzo Greco

I got to Italy before my dad died, I was still in America when my Personal assistant told me my father had a heart attack and he was already admitted in the Milan elites hospital.

So we had to rush back to Milan immediately. That flight was the longest flight of my life, all I wanted was to get Italy immediately.

While in the plane, before the plane took off, I called our family doctor doctor Elaine and she said father must undergo a heart surgery as soon as possible. I told her to fly in the best cardiac surgeon who will do that.

"Henry Greco must not die, fly in the best cardiologist and cardiac surgeon you know " I ordered Dr Elaine.

When I got to Milan , a helicopter was waiting to take me to the hospital. When the helicopter landed in the Milan elites hospital roof top, I ran down to the reception using the elevator. The receptionist didn't bother questioning me , she told a nurse to take me the chalet they admitted my father to.

When I got to the chalet, I saw my sisters Becca and Bella sitting on couch in the chalet, immediately they saw me they rushed down to hug me

Dad was lying unconscious on the hospital bed .

"Enzo ,dad is not going to died right?" Becca asked crying

"No he won't Becca, you remember dad always tells us he his strong " bella replied our fifteen years old sister .

"He is going to be operated on, the best cardiologist and cardiac surgeon are in their way."

"I know , doctor Elaine told a team of heart doctors are on their way Enzo" Becca Said

"Promise me dad isn't going to died like mummy did " she asked sadly

I remember when mummy died ,she died 10 years ago, she had cancer , it was a bad time for our family. Dad didn't accept it that his wife Marta Greco is gone, the two of them were inseparable, anywhere you see Mum, you will surely see dad.

Becca was 5 and she didn't understand what death was then, Bella and I didn't take well too.

"Becca dad won't die, I assure you"

The operation was successfully ,but he died three days after the operation.

I remember the conversation we had, a day after the surgery, dad told me how his my grandfather passed the mantle of leadership of the Greco's Inc to him, and how he wants me to take his position as the chairman of Greco Inc immediately. He told me I need to settle down soon, get a responsible lady and marry her

I begged him not to say that, after enough rest he can come back to work, and I will get married soon. He is only duty is for him to rest and get back to work.

My siblings and I have been down, especially Becca and Bella. They refused to leave the hospital, The doctor had to sedate them, so we can bring them home.

Since then they refused to leave their rooms. I don't know how to face them, especially Becca after I assured her dad wasn't going to die, he still died.

Its been very stressful, handling the house and the company together,I have been working, working from home, because any lapse, can cause us loss.

Since the announcement of my dad's death, we have being receiving visitors in the Greco's mansion, I told my personal assistant to receive the visitors on my behalf.

Right now I am in a sitting room somewhere in the mansion, after having a quick meeting with some of the directors in the company. When Alex came inside, he walked down to me and whispered to me .

"Mr Orlando and his daughter is here sir" he whispered to me.

"Uncle Lorenzo's daughter is back?." suprisingly I asked

" Yes sir, you won't believe who his daughter is"

"Alex you still fantasize on models," I remember I once caught him when he opened a site on his desktop to view models on sexy lingerie during a meeting" I heard she is a well known model in America, so come of it Alex and bring uncle Lorenzo and his daughter here"

"Not at all Mr Greco, sir you remember the girl we met in the orphanage in America,the Luna orphanage, the owner?"

"Yes of course, I remember luna"

I remember the beautiful girl who walked in and stole the moment, she walked elegantly to us and thanked me for bringing the things we brought to the orphanage.

"They are here sir" Alex said and he walked out of the room.

When she walked into the room, my whole world slowed down again,

Her tall frame and slender body. Her blue eyes, like the sea, were calm and emotionless. She had a warm chestnut colour hair ,so smooth and silky.

Her eyes scanned the room, but when her eyes met mine she smiled

She remembers

I smiled back at her.

"Enzo, I'm so sorry about Henry" uncle Lorenzo said walking towards me

"Uncle Lorenzo, I'm glad you are here"

Uncle Lorenzo and dad were very close.

"Where are your sisters?"

"They have being indoor since dad's death" I said sadly.

I remember what Becca said, when I went to meet her yesterday night

She told me she doesn't want to see me, unless dad wakes up.

"I heard you had to sedate them" he said sadly

Yes uncle Lorenzo, they didn't take his death well, they didn't want to leave dad's side when he died"

He sighed" Henry's death is a great loss, Enzo you know you have to control the company now, the Greco's legacy must continue. Henry lived a good life you know " he said

"Thank you uncle Lorenzo"

Forgive my manners,Enzo meet my only daughter"

"Luna" I said

"Vince I'm sorry about your dad"

He asked surprised " you know each other? "

"Have your seat please, uncle Lorenzo we met in New York"

"Luna you didn't tell me " he said as they sat on the nearest cushion

"Papá I only met him once and it was a quick meeting''

"Really"

"Vince was generous enough to bring loads of things for the children in the new York home"

"Charitable giving runs in the Greco's family, Greco's charitable donations is close to US$ 2 billion each year " Uncle Lorenzo then points at Luna " luna here runs her charity organisation"

"I like it when we the younger generation gives back to the needy" she smiled.

"So are you going back to America soon?" I asked her.

"Yea, I came back home to set up an orphanage home here in Milan, I leave immediately I set it up" she said looking at her father

"Wow that's good, I will love to help, you know, help you in setting it up, well that's if you care"

Are you sure you only want to help her, or you are trying to know her more.

I ignored my subconscious

"Well that will be after the funeral" she said.

Uncle Lorenzo then said

"That's good, luna here, is new to Milan"

"That's perfect, I can take you round Milan after the funeral"

"Lets talk about the funeral arrangement " Uncle Lorenzo said.

"It's going to be a private ceremony, you know his close friends and close relative, you know, uncle Lorenzo the last thing I want is paparazzi disturbing and surrounding the funeral activities"
