Her Mafia Lord

Chapter Eighteen

The doubts Bianca had were erased; although not to the minimal but the visual she saw was evident enough to show that Marco had actually given the affairs of the family to Amore to run. She sighed something and told her that there was trouble looming and it would be only a matter of time before this trouble revealed itself. Priscilla’s continuous smile was what irritates her a lot and also the fact that Amore might possibly use his power to do something drastic to her relationship with Giovanni. She didn’t care that he was the leader, she would continue to stick with Giovanni and her son at all costs.

“I must admit you did well with the presentation Mr. Anthony Brown” a voice from the phone spoke to Brown who was taking a cup of coffee.

“I know I am a good actor, there is no need to give me compliments,” Brown said with a smile on his face.

“I will have one of my escorts wire you the remaining five hundred thousand dollars in an hour” the voice told him.

“It is no problem, I will be expecting it.” The voice hung up and Brown turned on the television afterwards, checking out the daily news. He was going to add another huge cash into his account in the next one hour simply because he pulled a string that perhaps no one, absolutely no one could pull.

Bianca noticed Giovanni had been tossing in bed all night and she couldn’t help but wonder if it had anything to do with the announcement that was made.

“Babe, are you still awake?” She asked in a low tone as Alonso was also asleep.

“Yea” Giovanni’s grumpy replied.

“What seems to be the issue?” She enquired as she began drawing imaginary circles around his muscular chest while laying her head across his heart area, hearing his heartbeat.

“Of course you know what the problem is. You saw what happened earlier today at the table; I can’t believe that my father will boycott the law of the family that has been existing since time immemorial and make his own decision” Bianca could feel the frustration in his tone as he spoke.

“You need to calm down Giovanni, regardless of what happened today, I want you to know that Alonso and I are here for you” She explained.

“I know and I will always appreciate that fact. I am just bothered that the downfall of the Elites is looming with Amore as leader” Bianca raised her head up and looked at Giovanni even though it was dark, she could still make out his facial figure.

“Why did you say that?” She asked.

“Isn’t it obvious, while I served as acting leader on behalf of Marco upon his retirement, I made lots of shady agreements with some of the dangerous cartels who would have perhaps destroyed the legacies we built. There were times where I had to make friends with an old enemy for an offer attached just to take out a new one. Amore isn’t one person that can do these things, he is just going to disrupt the whole business that father has built” Giovanni explained.

“Look babe, you worry too much and I want you to know that it is not in your position to worry about his assuming as Leader but then focus on the little investments we have” Bianca advised her husband.

“We are Elites and I know you may haven’t noticed but everyone of us is expected to stick with each other but then Amore being the self centered person he is would not listen to anything I have to say.” Giovanni added further.

“Can we forget about this topic because I feel that there is nothing you can do. Let us talk about us, what is in it for us Giovanni” Bianca had been meaning to ask this question for a long time now.

“Well for a start, we are going back to America, I will continue running my company and about you, I have decided to open up a restaurant downtown.” Giovanni said with a smile on his face.

“Really?” Bianca asked, her eyes lighting up with joy.

“Yes, I mean I thought I lost you all these years and now that I have you, I failed to tell you that the contract between both of us is over. I want to make you my legitimate wife” Giovanni gasped and squealed quietly avoiding Alonso from waking up.

“I love you” Giovanni said after watching her do a little drama.

“I love you Giovanni” they shared a passionate kiss after which they tucked themselves in the duvet properly and slept.

The following morning, Giovanni was outside the penthouse, at the swimming pool having a good time with Bianca, when Amore interrupted the moment.

“Hey man can I see you for a minute” they both looked up and Amore’s eyes darted to Bianca and the look of Jealousy was visible but he concealed it.

“Sure” Giovanni kissed Bianca on the cheek which caused her to giggle and he stepped out of the water, taking a towel that Lucifer had offered him.

“I made contact with one of the men in Russia and he said that the shipment which is usually transported from there to China happened to be grossed at two hundred million dollars. When I asked the magnitude of the coke, he said it was close to four hundred grams in weight. He further told me that you signed a deal with Serdof Cartel which is led by Vladimir and that thirty percent goes to his cartel so, I ask why?” Amore looked on to his step brother for explanation.

“Would you rather have the shipments destroyed at the warehouses before they get to China?” Giovanni replied with a question.

“What do you mean?” Amore enquired.

“What I mean is, Vladimir is a popular figure in Russia and the Serdof Cartel is the most popular gang in the entire Russia. Vladimir says he owns Russia and thus any goods which go in and out of Russia must pay tax to him which is why I signed the deal” Giovanni explained.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“And father is not aware of this?” Amore asked.

“He is aware and has always backed me up to do the right thing for the family.” Giovanni replied.

“Well I came to inform you that I broke that deal off. The Elites are a strong force in the underworld and you know that. We have eyes across the seven continents of the globe and we have skilled and trained men who are ready to lay down their life for our sake. I am not going to be answerable to Vladimir” Giovanni sighed, rubbing off the little water coming down his face from his hair.

“Look Amore, I don’t need to baby sit you but then I need you to know that there are people that you don’t want to fuck with and Vladimir is one of them. Cutting off the deal means there isn’t going to be any revenue from Russia because he is going to hold on to the shipments” Giovanni explained.

“That is where you are wrong brother. I will take him out myself and make things flow smoothly. I cannot stand and watch the Elites hide under the shadows of one man.” Amore described.

“You are wrong!” Giovanni corrected.

“No! you are wrong Giovanni, you made the worst mistake by having to sign that deal” Amore replied, a little bit loud.

“It is called peace keeping, you of all people should know that.” Giovanni explained.

“Peace? Did you just say peace? Let me tell you something Giovanni, Marco has always remained at the top for one single reason, he learnt to read the moves of his enemies and take them out before they could execute it.” Amore started looking his brother hard in the face.

“Amore, I don’t have the energy to argue with you on this but just so you know, I would not be held responsible for what happens in Russia and I clearly hope you get that to your thick skull” Giovanni walked away from Amore who was fuming with rage.
