Giovanni felt his world shattered when he read in the news that there had been the abduction of his wife and his son. He couldn’t come to terms with the entire situation and stood up from the floors, grabbed the keys to his Mercedes and decided to head out to the scene.
Upon reaching the scene, there were news men everywhere and he regretted coming as they all began throwing questions at him but he kept on passing them the ‘no comment’ phrase so they could leave him alone. He checked the vehicle and there was no sign of his wife anywhere, he could only see the body of his two men Lucifer and Micheal in a pool of blood. Why did I order her to leave for Spain? He asked himself regret. Giovanni knew that there were a lot of possible ways out of the situation. He could have just called the FBI agent’s superior when they arrived but he had acted recklessly under pressure.
He couldn’t stand seeing the entire scene and so he entered his vehicle and headed back home; who could have possibly taken Bianca? So many names ran through his mind as he drove back home but the obvious one was Vladimir. The Elites were never meant to be left alone in any situation as any Mafia group could attack. Those in the underworld who had heard of them were jealous of the type of power and influence they had. So many cartels tried to overthrow them but for years it was almost impossible to just do that. Suddenly, Giovanni had the idea of going to his step brother’s house instead; he needed Amore’s help at this point.

“How did you let her leave for Spain because of some freaking FBI agent?” Amore asked with rage in his eyes after Giovanni had explained what transpired.
“My Intel told me it was Code Red?” Giovanni justified himself.
“Your Intel? Jordan Norman, twenty five years of age, lives in Kansas city and was killed on October 11th 2019, three years back bro, he was killed three years back!! Whoever had called you was cloning Norman and because of that Bianca was kidnapped” Giovanni paced around, he was fidgeting with rage.
“I believe Vladimir is the reason for this,” Giovanni revealed to his brother.
“I told you we need to take that shit head out of the equation” Amore replied, picking up his phone and putting a call across once more.
“Zeus, finish him off now!”
**
Giovanni had arrived back at his house after a hectic day; he still looked miserable and dejected over Bianca’s absence. The death of Vladimir had been announced right before him and he knew without a doubt that war was coming but he wasn’t concerned because he believed Amore would work it out. His phone began to ring and he checked it to see an unknown caller. Giovanni wondered why people called him these days with strange numbers.
“Seems a lot has been happening with you lately. So sorry about your wife anyways.” Giovanni’s mood deflated as he recognized the voice.
“What do you want” He asked
“Don’t be like this now, is that how to respond to a simple greeting from your wife?”
“You are not my wife! Bianca is” Giovanni shouted at her.
“Hold your horses big boy, stop being a bitch on the phone”
“If you don’t have anything reasonable to say, I would be hanging up”
“Hold up! I actually have something to say. It is in regards to your missing wife” Giovanni sat upright. “What is it? You know who did this, I order you to tell me at once” He instructed.
“Now that is not how things work you know; meet me at the address I will be texting you right now tomorrow by six pm, don’t be late” she hung up afterwards. Giovanni went into deep thought once again. Could Sofia actually have a hand in Bianca’s kidnapping? He wondered to himself but the fact that she was just coming out of the Asylum doesn’t mean she is capable of taking Bianca and it wasn’t possible for her to have gone past his two escorts Lucifer and Micheal so easily. He laid down on the couch and resolved within himself that he would find the answer to the missing puzzle tomorrow.
*****
Amore was reading up the news on the death of Vladimir when his phone began to ring and the caller happened to be his mother.
“I see you took out the problem” Amore smiled as he knew that it was a compliment Priscilla always meant by saying those words.
“Why have you called mother”
“Typical of you Amore, straight to the point, not wanting to be delayed”
“A trait I took from Marco” He said with a smile
“Anyways, how well do you love Bianca?” Amore was thrown off balance with the question.
“Why the question?”
“You didn’t answer me young man, how well do you love Bianca?” She asked once again.
“I love her very much mother”
“Well then, meet Sofia at the location I will be texting you tomorrow by ten am, I have a surprise for you” Priscilla hung up.
Amore was confused, Priscilla never wanted to discuss anything related to Bianca so why now? Why meet Sofia at a designated location? Series of questions swung back and forth in his head but he resolved to find out tomorrow.

Bianca couldn’t tell how many days she had spent in the confinement of the room she was locked in but she could possibly estimate it to be around three days. She wondered if Giovanni was looking for her and Alonso. Talking about Alonso, she was scared that Imade being the crazy bitch she was could do something dangerous on her beloved child. The doors opened and this time Imade entered wearing a white sleeves which hung tightly to her body, her breasts popping out for glorification.
“Well hello to you Bianca, I believe the boys have been feeding you right? Anyways, you have a guest that wishes to see you” Bianca heard the sound step of another person. She shifted her gaze from Sofia and was surprised to see Amore standing beside her with a look of shock on his face although momentarily as he comforted himself immediately.
“I will leave you two to have a chat now, goodbye” she said, blowing her a kiss before leaving the room.
“Who would have ever thought that your kidnap was orchestrated by my mother in support of Sofia or Imade as I suddenly got to know her true identity. I must say that my mother is a true legend in this game” He stated, drawing a nearby chair so he could sit facing her directly.
“Well hello Bianca”
“Please Amore, I am begging you, let me go. I didn’t do anything wrong” she pleaded with tears in her eyes “That bitch took my baby away from me” Bianca pleaded.
“I understand your pain and that is why I am here. I can get you out of this hell hole situation” Amore started with a smirk “it all boils down to you. Are you ready to cooperate with me Bianca?”
She couldn’t fathom where he was driving at but she knew that it was her only chance of escaping and being with her son again and so she nodded in agreement
“Good. So here is the deal; I order Sofia or Imade, whatever she calls herself to release, you get your son and you come stay with me. You are not going to be with Giovanni any more, you will stay with me as my wife and I shall be your husband as well. We will let the media know that we are a couple” Amore explained.
Bianca couldn’t believe the outrageous offer that was being presented to her; she was to ditch on Giovanni and stay with Amore
“Or you can live your miserable life staying in this wretched room where you will be served pork to eat” Amore pointed out to her. “So which will it be?” He drew closer to her, trying to touch her hair but Bianca refused.
“You know why I love you this much Bianca, I love you because of how effortlessly you always look beautiful. I cannot find any lady that could look good even on rags” Amore said with admiration.
Bianca was deep in thought; Marry Amore and have a chance to see Alonso once again but to the detriment of leaving Giovanni behind. She knew that the option was a safe one but her heart wouldn’t agree. Giovanni had a special place in her heart that she could not ignore and she loved him equally. The thought of not seeing Alonso who she believed was her source of pride was also another point to consider. She had no other choice than to stick with the alternative.
“So what is it going to be Bianca, remember to choose wisely” he said with a smirk on his face. “You cannot risk losing your beloved son right now can you?”
“I will take you up on your offer” She mumbled out to Amore who didn’t catch what she said
“Sorry I didn’t get you, what did you say?”
“I said I will take you up on your offer” she stated it clear this time around
“That’s a good girl. I will meet up with your cousin and discuss with her and oh! One more thing, if you by any chance think you can possibly play smart ass on me, I won’t hesitate to end Alonso’s life” he threatened which caused Bianca to shiver in fear.
“I promise not to do anything funny” she said with all sense of honesty in her tone which satisfied Amore. He stood up, kissed her on the forehead and left the room. A single tear dropped out of her eye once more; why can’t I love the man of my dreams? She wondered to herself why do I have to find myself in a difficult situation, she wondered, reminiscing back to all that has transpired with her in the past.
“I love you Giovanni and I will be doing this for us” she said out loud.
