Her Mafia Lord

Chapter Thirty Four

The day happened to be a free day for Giovanni and he had decided to spend it at home watching Netflix for the first time ever; he was a busy person but there were times even he knew that the body needed to rest.

Imade entered the room and Giovanni tried all he could not to groan at the sight of seeing her. She had become a nuisance to him and he would only hope that he achieved his plans in time before he broke out of character.

“Hey babe, what are you watching?” Imade slumped to the couch by his side and snuggled close to him. Giovanni knew if it was Bianca, he would have been distracted by her body appeals but with Imade, he felt like a log of wood.

“Why are you not saying anything though?” Imade enquired.

“Look Imade, I am watching this interesting movie and I don’t want to miss a single scene” he pleaded to her convincingly. There was silence momentarily until Imade decided to spoil his entire mood for the die by making a shocking announcement.

“Babe, I am pregnant” she announced, causing Giovanni to look up at her in disbelief.

“Is this some sort of joke or what?” He asked in amazement.

“No, I am not kidding. I have been vomiting recently and when I got to the hospital, I decided to carry out some tests where it was revealed that I am with child, your child” Giovanni was still shocked by the news he had received but not too shocked; Imade had manipulated him the day he had sex with her. This was all her plan along, to have sex with him and have another child.

“But why Imade?” Leo asked in frustration “Why me? I don’t seem to understand why you have chosen to do anything to please me” Giovanni explained in exasperation.

“Because I love you!” She replied

“Don’t say that Imade, don’t say you love me, it is clear you did this for yourself” he pointed out.

“For myself? We had a moment together Giovanni, and the end result is making you frustrated? When are you going to man up and take responsibility and not bitch around” Imade stated boldly.

“I will have you know that I do take responsibility for my actions but in your case, it was never of my making. I mean you drugged me Imade, you induced me into having sex with you” Giovanni was slowly getting angry but tried to stay calm.

“I drugged you but I didn’t coerce you into having sex with me” Giovanni was amazed by how lame she sounded.

“Hear yourself out, you sound like a dumb ass right now” Giovanni taunted her.

“If you are going to sit down and mock me, I guess I will take my leave” Giovanni was elated that she left him alone.

He was in deep thought about the latest development being the pregnancy; it would be his first child with her. He needed to act fast on his plan before Imade would ruin his life completely. He headed out to his room and picked up his phone, dialing a specific contact, and the receiver answered almost immediately.

“Hello Ceasro, I need your help, I have hit a wall that requires your skill”

Amore was swift to arrive at the company in time. He had called Maria to come meet him outside the building, so she could brief him more on the happenings in the company. Maria was with the driver and she smiled when she saw her boss.

“Maria?” He called as he got into the car beside her.

“Good day, boss”, she greeted him.

“What is happening?”

“I really don’t know sir. I got to work this morning to see the company in upheaval. The securities were running around the company looking for the intruder, no one knew how or where he entered from….”

“He?” Amore questioned, picking on that word as a clue. He was listening to her explanations with rapt attention and also thinking of what to do and how to do whatever he was going to do to get the papers back. He was scared but he knew he was going to find whoever was behind it because of the CCTV camera he had Installed in the company. None of his staff knew there were hidden cameras around, apart from the one in the entrance which was known to everyone.

Maria shrugged. “I don’t know if it’s a he or a she but I just feel he will be the one who will have the guts to break into the company and steal these papers away.”

Amore chuckled lightly. “Feminism, such a clear sentiment that amazes me.”

“No sir”, she interrupted him, knowing the point he was driving at.

“Michael”, he called the bodyguard.

“Sir?”

“Take me home after this, I forgot to pick up something”, he informed him.

“Alright, sir”, he answered. Amore turned to Maria who he noticed was smiling from ear to ear at his bodyguard..

“Go on with your explanations, Maria. I am all ears”, he was standing calmly beside his car like someone who had no problems at all, he looked like someone who was at ease with himself and everybody but his mind was in turmoil. He was thinking of different things at the time, Family’s punishment if the file doesn’t get found, the incident that happened this morning, and the solutions.

“I rushed into your office to take a look and I saw littered paperworks which showed that the culprit must have searched everywhere before seeing the drawer and breaking into it.”

Amore reasoned with Maria. He realized his mistake there. The drawer was supposed to be kept away in a safe, instead of put on display in his office like that. Every normal human being would be curious to know what was inside it and he guessed the culprit was curious too.

Could it be this person came for something else and happened to stumble on the file out of curiosity? he was thinking.

“When did you become an FBI agent, Maria?” He questioned her, amazed by her way of thinking.

Maria smiled. “I did a part time criminology course before graduation, sir.”

He nodded, watching her intensely. “That explains it then.”

Amore picked up his phone, stopping Maria from continuing what she was saying. He placed the phone to his right ears and waited for the person on the other side to pick the call. It was Anthony brown; the solicitor, no one knew of his existence except him and his mom. He was trustworthy and loyal to both of them. He saved him from the brink of death years before. He had broken relationship with the gang and they were after his life. He had found him and assured him he would calm the situation down. Not only has he calmed it down, he had also successfully convinced his late dad to partner with the underground syndicate. When he picked he said. “Long time no see, Anthony I have a job for you. Meet me at home.” He said in one breath and disconnected the call.

“I suggest that you come with me Maria, you were the one that raised the alarm thus, you could explain better to my friend at home. So, let’s go now” he ordered. Maria went inside and grabbed her purse from the office, headed back to meet up with her boss and stayed at the front seat and they sped away.

Bianca was in the kitchen making lunch when Amore had arrived with some guests. She remembered one of them to have announced the conferment of the leadership role on Amore.

“It is good to see you again ma’am” Brown smiled and held out his hands for a handshake. When Bianca took it, she noticed how particularly soft they were. Something was definitely Fishy seeing him around. Bianca wondered if he was also part of the plan that had been mapped out which she had seen on the footage.

“Bianca, can you get our guest something to take?” Amore smiled at Bianca but before she could go, Brown and Maria unanimously stopped her.

“Alright then, let’s get straight to the point” Amore indicated, taking his seat opposite his wife.

“If this gathering is in regards to mystery solving, then I beg to take my leave” Brown mentioned to the surprise of Amore.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“And why do you want to go? I can you, this is your line of work”

“Indeed sir, it is my line of work but you and I know that from the last business we did, my bills haven’t been footed till date” Brown stated maintaining his calm nature. Bianca noticed Amore giving the man an eye signal which was a plea for him to stop. Brown stopped at his tracks Knowing that the women were unaware.

“Maria?” Amore suddenly turned to his secretary.

“There are certain things you will hear today that you haven’t heard before. I am only letting you in because of the nature of the situation. I want you to know that whatever is being spoken here today, remains here today. Do I make myself clear” Maria nodded instantly.

“Now, shall we begin?”
