Chapter 46: Secrets Of Past
Melanie Filia Dei.
The surname Filia Dei is Latin for "daughter of God". In other words, she was an orphan who didn’t even know who her parents were. The orphanage run by St. Michael’s Church had a tradition of naming their orphans as sons/daughters of God.
He promised money to the orphanage. They were in a prime spot and all they had to do was relocate. He was willing to pay for everything including modern amnesties for the new building. But those fools in robes couldn’t appreciate his good heart. And they dared to threaten his family.
So, he taught them a lesson!
’You will burn, Peter Kastello! For killing Leo! You will burn with your entire family!’
Shouted the orphan, uncontrollable by the nuns standing beside her. He wanted to squish her neck immediately. She needed to die, he decided then...
But he didn’t want the reporters to have something to write about.
He commanded his men to kill her that night, Georgios Russo being one of them. After what happened in the morning, Russo was not keen on killing another child. But he had to obey the order of the don. He and the other man returned bearing the news that the child had passed away in the hospital.
That was the end of it. That child was already in a pathetic state. Her death was inevitable.
Peter took in a deep breath. He still remembered her. Her eyes haunted him for a year, he had to return to Abenney to confirm that she died. He didn’t know why he was scared of a dying orphan, but...
She is dead.
When Evander mentioned a woman with demon eyes, he remembered that girl first. But that girl is dead. That girl couldn’t have been alive to hurt Evander, and she cannot be here with Leander.
