Her Mafia Lord

Chapter Thirty

“I couldn’t help but noticed you are new in the round table” Giovanni pointed out with a smirk on his face

“Well that is because you haven’t been observant enough. As you can clearly see, I am the wife of the leader of the table” she indicated, pointing to Amore who seemed to be watching the duo conversate.

Giovanni was filled with jealousy; he felt like grabbing her and screaming at her face to stop whatever game she was playing with him because it was messing his mind.

“You know , it is such a shame how people you help raise, turn against you in a short while” They both collected a glass of wine from the waiter passing by.

“Yea; talking about shame, isn’t it a shame that a man would go back to his old clothes which are rags, ignoring the new ones?” With every word Giovanni spoke, Imade had a reply which showed him that it would be quite complicated to know the true situation of things from her at the moment.

“Also, do I need to tell you that this same person who returned back to his rags didn’t bother searching for his lost clothes but chose to whine about it all day?” Giovanni knew where she was headed with the parables.

“My dear Bianca, I hate to break it to you but he may have actually abandoned the new clothes for the old ones because they do not fit him any longer” Bianca felt hurt by the statement but as usual, she opted not to show it.

“I think I will take my leave now” As she was about to leave, Giovanni held her by the arms and turned her around to face him. Bianca needed to act fast in the present situation and avoid any suspicion from Amore who she noted was still watching.

“Excuse me? Don’t you know how to treat a woman? We are not in the era of savages and beasts, so I advise you stop being one” she barked out to Giovanni. He was thrown aback by this sudden act and wondered if she was pretending or being real.

“Every woman needs a macho man who can handle her in the right place but I doubt if you are worthy of having one” Bianca felt hurt by the statement and slapped him so hard that it drew the attention of everyone in the living room.

Giovanni was completely stunned for a minute; it would be the first that a lady had dared touch him physically with force. Also, the embarrassment that came with it caused him to be angry at Bianca. Does this bitch really think high of herself? He thought to himself. Giovanni’s ego had been punctured and so needed to redeem it back at all cost.

Bianca had rushed out of the living room after delivering the slap to Giovanni and didn’t want to see his face because she could possibly falter out of character.

Upon entering her room, she locked the door and sat by the bed crying her eyes out; never had she thought that a time would come where Giovanni would say hurtful words to her. She slapped him because she felt he deserved it for being stupid to think so low of her.

While she was still sobbing, she heard a knock on the door and she wiped off her tears before opening it to meet Amore smiling from ear to ear at her.

“I must say that I was rather impressed by how truly you showed your resentment for Giovanni” Amore stated entering the room and standing inches away from her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Giovanni is not worthy of being called a typical gentleman; he doesn’t have those qualities and I am glad I am getting to know at this period of my life,” she explained to Amore.

“I am glad you are seeing things for yourself; so I was relating with some of my business partners in New York and they said my company is declining in revenue, which means I have to give it the magic touch it desires thus, we will need to settle down in New York” Bianca was happy and also sad; she was happy because she will be close to her parents and if Amore would allow her, she could go visit them and she was sad because it meant she had to love in the same city as Giovanni.

“So by tomorrow, we should be leaving for New York City” he approached her and grabbed her by the waist, kissing her neck. Bianca hated the way Amore touched her but she needed to keep up with the act and so pretended to love it.

“Come now, let’s go have lunch shall we?” She smiled and agreed. She grabbed her purse and her phone before leaving.

While they were headed downstairs, they bumped into Giovanni and Imade; Bianca could see the rage in Imade’s eye upon seeing her.

“How dare you? You dare slap my Giovanni? You are nothing but a whore” Bianca felt like giving her a piece of her mind but decided to play the silent treatment.

“Giovanni isn’t worthy of you that is why you opted for Amore” Bianca knew that this was the chance to finally earn Amore’s trust completely; defending him

“Amore isn’t less a man than any other man in the world, I want you to know that he is caring, gorgeous and above all a loving husband” Bianca held Amore by the shoulder and pecked him on the cheek. She could feel the rage in Giovanni’s eye but he was also trying to control it.

When Bianca and Amore had left, Giovanni and Imade head to their own room with Giovanni dropping on the bed. His thoughts were occupied by Bianca; could it be possible that she had chosen Amore over him? Giovanni knew he had every right to retaliate to his brother for taking Amore away from him but he was technically not married to her just yet so he didn’t have a valid point.

He watched as Imade came and lay on top of him while he was beneath. They stayed in that position for some minutes till Imade broke the silence

“Bianca believes she is above everybody but I will show her that there is a place, meant for people like her; beneath my feet” Giovanni could not understand why Imade hated Bianca’s gut this much.

“Babe, why do you hate Bianca so much?” He asked.

“Because she always tries to take what isn’t hers. I mean she nearly ruined your life till I saved you right?” Giovanni felt like beating the crap out of Imade for thinking there was ever a time Bianca tried to ruin his life.

Bianca has been the one that kept him sane for years and many times he had acted repulsive to her, she didn’t retaliate, she always submitted to him.

“You are right; I mean she doesn’t have any right to have slapped me in front of everyone” Giovanni knew he had to keep pulling the strings for now until he finds out whether or not Bianca was acting or not.

When Amore and Bianca arrived at the restaurant, they ordered pepperoni and cheese, escorted to the VIP lounges they sat down and ate.

“You know, I am in such a good mood today” Amore indicated to Bianca.

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because you passed the test I was worried you were going to fail; having to overcome Giovanni. I didn’t see that slap coming though, is that how you resent him alot?” Bianca didn’t want to have this conversation with him and so hoped that she could change it after she answered.

“Giovanni is simply the type of guy that sees women as toy; he doesn’t have respect for women”

“Yeah, especially ones like Imade,” Bianca chuckled a bit. Amore might be right about that; Imade was just a nuisance to everybody.

“I need to know something about Imade”

“Ask away darling”

“While I was still with Giovanni, he told me she cheated on him with another man and manipulated his father to believe that she was almost being raped. How did Image come to be part of the family?” Bianca asked out of sheer curiosity

“You know Bianca, I wondered to myself but the fact remains that Giovanni is a calm guy who falls in love too quickly; that is why he always has his heart broken. Image was just there for the money and I can bet Giovanni is running out of cash because of that woman” Amore gulped down a glass of wine.

For Bianca, she knew that all wasn’t well with Giovanni aside from the confrontation; he looked stressed and seemed to have grown eyebags underneath his eyes.

“I need one favor from you babe but that is when we land at New York”

“Whenever you want something Bianca, do not hesitate to ask” Bianca smiled at herself knowing that she got him where she wanted.

When Lucifer arrived in Russia, he was amazed to discover the brewing battle that had been trying to come up for weeks.

“Good to see you in Russian Lucifer ” He turned and saw Viola in a ravishing black suit which made her look badass.

Lucifer had some sort of chemistry from the moment he had laid his eyes on Viola the first day he was hired by Giovanni. He had loved her charisma, and also her attitude to work. She was very dedicated to what she did. Lucifer was about complimenting her on how she looked when he noticed she got a call. Lucifer was not familiar with Russian language but knew from the tone and countenance she spoke with on the phone, all was not well.

“What is the situation”

“You seemed to have arrived at the appropriate time; Vladimir Cartel has decided to destroy the warehouses today and according to the boys on the streets, they are headed there right now” Lucifer threw his bag to the back seat of the sports car before entering the vehicle with Viola.
