Her Mafia Lord

Chapter Twenty Six

When Bianca woke up, she was in pain; her back was on literally on fire but she couldn’t reach it with her hand and so decided to lay down on the bed. She cast her mind back to the horrific incident that happened yesterday with her and she began to sob.

Never in her life had she been maltreated the way Amore did yesterday and it only made her hate him even more. She wasn’t going to back down with her escape plan but she knew she needed to be patient next time as she thought of what had gone wrong with her plans.

When she was still with Giovanni, he had never laid hands on her before. Her mind thought back to Alonso and she jolted up from the bed regardless of the pain she was feeling and headed out to check for him.

She was in Amore’s room and she was happy he wasn’t in bed with her for she didn’t want to see his face ever again. She moved to her room to see Alonso sleeping peacefully and her tensed self relaxed knowing nothing happened to him. Alonso was a sleeper and so she needed to worry if he would cry or not.

The door opened and Amore entered the room with a smile on his face. He was putting on a black shirt and black pants which means he wasn’t going anywhere as most times he was always dressed seriously.

“Good to see that you are awake sweetheart” Bianca didn’t want to have anything to do with him and so kept silent ignoring his comment.

Amore sighed and approached her bed and upon sitting down close to her, she stood up from the bed and went and stood by the window.

“Why are you doing this? You shouldn’t be avoiding me, it is not fair” Amore said pretending to be hurt by her actions “Okay look, if it is about what had transpired last night, I am sorry but you know it was your fault, you tried to run away”

“My fault? My fault Marco Amore? It was my fault that I was fed up with living on the same roof with a monster and I decided to flee away from him? What you did last night is a testament to the fact that you are nothing short but sick in the head” Bianca lashed at him, careful not to raise her voice because of the sleeping Alonso.

“I admit that I went too far by hitting you but the fact remains you tried to breach our deal! Now I don’t know if you have noticed but we Elites love to keep up with deals so much that we would do drastic things if they are broken” Bianca rolled her eyes and scoffed at him for mentioning their family’s name in the issue.

“I am tired Amore, I didn’t bargain for this? Look, I am begging you, I want to go”

“To go back to Giovanni? To go back to living a miserable life with him” Amore’s tone had morphed into one of jealousy.

“I was never living a miserable life with Giovanni. I was happy, though I hated him at first but with time, I understood him” Amore stood up from the bed and approached her. Bianca didn’t move from the window and swore to herself that if by any chance he touched her, she would poke him in the eye. As if reading her mind, Amore stood few meters away from her

“We both know that Giovanni is the monster, I rescued you when he had the intention of placing you on a human trafficking deal.”

“I see what you did there Amore; flipping my story around so it could fit the situation we are in but I put it to you that we cannot work. I will never love you” Amore folded his hands into fist and was trying to control himself from grabbing her by the neck and choking her. Bianca could see the rage in his eyes but she didn’t care because she was ready to defend herself if he attacked her. She may not be the strongest but she had brains and she would use them smartly.

Amore left the room so he wouldn’t do anything drastic to her. When he was gone, Bianca dropped down to the floor thinking of any means to escape from Amore but no idea was coming forth. Alonso began to turn mildly in his bed and it seemed as though he was awake from sleep and she rushed to go get him

“Hey big man? How do you do” Alonso was about to cry when he woke up but upon seeing his mom’s face, he began smiling. Bianca loved her child so much because of the way he reminded her of Giovanni and every feature he had, Giovanni had too.

“Don’t worry my love, I will find a way for us to get away from that monster I promise” Bianca had that conviction in her heart that she would get away from Amore’s trap, it was only a matter of time.

Giovanni entered the kitchen and noticed Imade making pancakes. He had decided to play her game and so approached her stealthily and hugged her from behind kissing her in the neck.

“Looks like someone is in a good mood this evening” she said, not turning to look at him.

“Why wouldn’t I be? I mean when I went out this morning to clear my head, I thought to myself, why do I hate you though? The sex last night, I hate to admit, was one of the best I have ever had” Imade released herself from his grasp and turned to look at him to check if he was lying but she noticed how honest he was.

“I can’t believe it! Giovanni? Those were some of the sweetest things you have said to me in a long time” Imade started hugging him. Giovanni smiled to himself; the bitch bought his act so quickly.

“Yes and I am sorry if my actions hurt you in the past, I love you and not Bianca. I realize now that she was nothing short of out of my league” he said, holding her hands and staring at her in admiration.

“I tried to let you know, didn’t I?”

“I know you did. Anyways, come now let us go shopping, I need to show the world how good of a husband I am to my wife” he started trying to drag her away from the kitchen.

“Don’t worry, I will be with you in a minute; need to get done with this pancake” she said giggling like a high school teenager. Giovanni left the kitchen with a smile on his face; he had successfully convinced her that he was in love with her. He went in to his room, and changed into something more casual

“Babe, what do you think of this outfit?” Imade entered the room wearing a blue top and a black jeans to match it up. Giovanni knew he needed to follow up his act but in the actual sense she looked terrible.

“They are just perfect sweetheart, I will be with you in a minute” Giovanni watched as she happily left his room and he nodded his head at how gullible she could be. Bianca would have seen through his act within a heartbeat; maybe it was because he had trained her well enough to know how to lie.

Giovanni had opted to take his Mercedes C300 which happened to be his favorite car and they head out towards the dress shop to get some few things

“You know I can’t believe that I am actually with you in the same car, not having some negative vibes from you” Imade mentioned with a smile. Giovanni on the other hand turned and looked at her for a few seconds.

“Like I said earlier, I realized how precious you are to me and so I decided to change” From his peripheral vision, Giovanni could see how elated Imade was as they were nearing the shop. He knew Imade was only here for his money and nothing more.

Giovanni saw Bianca as a perfect replacement for Imade when he had first seen her picture and the way she acted even though she was on contract with him showed that she was worthy of being called a wife. She was never reckless, never cared about money and how to spend it. The few times they had been together, he had given her his credit card and he was surprised to see that she had only spent a hundred thousand dollars. He would never trade Bianca for any girl in the world and not even Imade and so, he needed to pull this act perfectly if he was going to ever see her again.

When they arrived at the mall, the paparazzi were everywhere and Giovanni knew how well Made loved being in the headline and so decided to give her what she needed. He helped her out of his car and entwined her arms with his and they entered the mall.

“Good day sir and ma” the lady by the counter greeted, Giovanni replied and gave her his credit card with the instruction.

“My wife is here to do shopping, I want you to take her around and give her the best of your collections” the lady nodded and before Imade went with her, Giovanni held her by the waist knowing the paparazzi would love this moment and gave her a passionate kiss.

Giovanni was going through his phone after Imade had gone when a call came in from an unknown contact. Giovanni could not count how many times people had opted to call him with strange numbers.

“Who is this?” Giovanni asked, picking up the call.

“Boss” The voice from the other end of the phone made Giovanni widen his eyes in shockText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Impossible!”
