Chapter Fifty
When Bianca woke up the next day, she felt positive; over the night, she had made the decision that what transpired in the mall would not affect her again and she was willing to stick to that. Getting off the bed and ready to go to school, she looked at the mirror and was surprised to see that her baby bump had began developing.
Amore had been very understanding with her and had assured her she could have the baby u der his roof. Though he had refused to bring Alonso back, Bianca could not help but wonder if her child was alright. She got ready to leave for school and with her newly acquired body guard by her side, she felt unstoppable.
When she arrived the school premises, there was nothing amiss, everyone went about their normal activities and she was glad about it. Heading into the classroom, most students began to gossip about her but she didn’t spare them the glance.
“Bianca!” She turned to see Romeo approaching her. She grabbed a chair and sat by it waiting for him.
“Hey Romeo” she smiled at him. Romeo was confused; he was surprised to see she was acting as though nothing had happened.
“What the fuck happened!” He asked taking a seat near her and seating by her side. The class was not to start till an hour time.
“Listen Romeo, I don’t want to talk about it” She replied getting one of her book from the bags and placing it on the desk to try and read before the class would commence.
“Certainly, but you need to understand that this is damaging your reputation” Bianca chuckled and closed her book for a minute and turned to stare at Romeo.
“Reputation? My reputation had been ruined the very day Giovanni told the world I was his baby mama” Romeo gasped in shock looking at her.
“He did what?”
“Oh! I forgot you weren’t even in school when all this transpired” Romeo nodded his head in agreement. He was at that time undergoing therapy.
“Well, what happened is a very long story but I need you to know that though I have feelings for Giovanni, I can’t deny the fact that he is being a jerk and I should have known that he would with all pleasure want to have his revenge” Bianca said regretting all that she did to him on the school premises even though she did it under duress.
“That is some fucked up shit you know?” Bianca could not agree less. While she was about going back to glance at her note, she heard Thea and Doris call out to her and she groaned, knowing it was going to be a long day.
“You are the most controversial celebrity at the moment” Thea commented with an exaggerated gesture of moving her hands.
“You can say that again” Bianca replied smiling at the way Thea had reacted.
“Look, what I see in this situation is for you to avoid social media and infact the entire media; right Doris” Thea looked at Doris who seemed absentminded in the conversation. She turned to see that her friend was staring at Romeo who was also holding her by his gaze.
“I uhmmm, I gotta go girls, I will see you at the cafeteria” Doris stammered before clumsily getting out, leaving Bianca and Thea confused.
“What the hell was that?”

Giovanni woke up quite late after a dramatic last evening. He was surprised that Amore had gone to the extent of sending gang members after him. What bothered him the most was the fact that they related to him that he was alive because of the presence of their godmother. Giovanni was curious to know the identity of their godmother.
The door opened and Imade entered the room with breakfast in her hands. She had been particularly romantic for this few days which was rather a surprise to Giovanni. Imade noticed the gloomy looks on Giovanni and dropped the food by the table beside the bed and laid down beside him, dropping her head on his chest.
“Why are you distressed?” She asked. Giovanni contemplated on telling Imade about the entire event. When he arrived last night, he had instructed Micheal not to say a word about what happened to anyone and he had moved to his room after dropping the groceries for Sofia without saying a word to her.
“Nothing” She raised her head up to stare at him curiously.
“Nothing? Look Giovanni, I understand I should learn to not to invade your private space but I need you to understand that whatever bothers you, also affects me” Imade explained to him
“It’s just complicated”
“I can help with it” Giovanni looked at her for a moment and decided to relate the entire event to her.
“Hold up a minute, Amore sent a gangstar after you?” She asked staring at him in disbelief.
“Yes and the saving grace I had was the fact that; I had already worked with them in the past” This got Giovanni wondering if he hadn’t worked with the skull, they would have probably killed him within heartbeat.
“So what is next” She asked.
“One thing is certain, Amore is aiming for war against me and I would not hesitate to let all hell loose. But first, I need to find the answer to a certain issue” He needed to meet up with the gang once more to know the name of their godmother.
“I have a suggestion” Giovanni turned to see Imade.
“I started this with Priscilla, I could possibly speak to her about the actions of her son” Imade reasoned
“Priscilla is always in support of whatever action his son takes and I would not be surprised if she had suggested this attack on me” Giovanni knew Priscilla was very manipulative and could go to any extent to see that all threats be cut off.
“The only solution to this like I said, is to give unto Amore what he has given to me” Giovanni said with determination on his face.

Amore was seated comfortably in his office going through the series of paperwork on his table, when he got an unannounced call from an unknown contact.
“Who is this” He asked before the caller could speak
“Greetings Mr. Amore, my name is Alvaro Sanchez, leader of the SNAKE EYE cartel” The caller introduced himself.
“Yeah, how may I be of help?”
“Apparently, I serve as the representative of the underworld cartels” Amore was confused for a minute. He wasn’t sure he had heard of such name before.
“Uhmmm…. How may I be of help to you?”
“I know you are confused, but I wish to inform you that every Mafia group have an expected day that they meet up for a convention. This had been the practice for ages now and I need you to know that your father Marco was the last leader of the convention committee” The caller explained.
“Okay, so what are you driving at?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, another convention comes up just three days from now and as the chairman of the convention committee, it is my duty to inform every leader about this” The caller explained once more.
“So my presence is needed right?”
“The Elites are the number one Mafia group in the underworld and your attention would be highly appreciated” Amore sighed, dropping his pen and ruffling his hair.
“Very well then, I will be there. Just text me the location” He said before hanging up the phone. Marco never told the table about any convention meeting and he wondered why his beloved father had chose to keep it secret away from any of the members.
While he continued with the paper work, he heard the door opened and Brown entered with what seem to be a glimpse of happiness in his face.
“I see the day is going well for you?” He mentioned smiling himself.
“Of course sir; I have good news” he said
“And what could this be?” He asked staring out Brown curiously.
“I found the culprit involve in the missing file” Amore rose up from his seat, walking towards Brown with all clear indication of disbelief written all over his face.
“Who is it, show me” Brown stretched his iPad towards Amore to watch the footage.
“Hold up a minute, I know this guy” Amore said staring at the culprit.
“You do?” Brown asked surprised himself.
“Yes I do; although I think Bianca knows him better” Brown collected the device from Amore and folded it back.
“Well then, you will need to ask your wife about his identity” Brown replied.
“I don’t need that and infact, I know his name” Amore added
“You do?” Again Brown asked in disbelief
“His name is Romeo” Amore knew that the moment he had caught Bianca at the bar, there was something strange about the Bar man.
“Then you will need to handle him in the appropriate way I presume?” Brown asked taking the cup of coffee left on Amore’s table.
“Don’t worry, I have this soughted out”
