Chapter Fourty Nine
It was a bright day, Giovanni had taken Imade to the mall so they could do shopping for her bastard son. Giovanni had come to terms with having to take care of the baby. Imade had informed him that she never knew of the father and had sex while she was intoxicated in her mini confession to him.
When they arrived at the mall, so many sea of heads were also gathered as everyone went about their shopping. While going through some new clothing brand himself, Giovanni heard little commotion and decided to go check the situation. He was shocked to see Imade shouting at someone. Her body was shielding him from seeing the person she was raining abuses on.
“Imade what is the meaning of…” He halted in his tracks as he came face to face with Bianca who looked on at him in surprise.
“This bitch here deserves the public embarrassment she gave you” Imade explained.
“Giovanni, I will suggest you take your retarded wife away from here” Imade wasted no time in administering a loud slap which echoed across the room to her.
Giovanni was shocked; as much as he wanted to tell at Imade for touching Bianca, he is personified with revenge and took delight in it.
“You slap me?” Bianca asked with the same look of shock on her face© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Yes bitch and i don’t mind giving you a quick jab to the stomach. you disgraced Giovanni, after all he went through in your hands” Giovanni looked around and noticed everyone had their phone on and was recording. Although it hurt him that Bianca was experiencing such disgrace, he was however happy that he was sending a message to Amore.
“I will say this and I will say it again, stay the fuck away from us Bianca, you ungrateful bitch” Bianca hadn’t said anything since the assault; her eyes were not gazed on Imade but we’re rather on Giovanni. She was shocked to see the disinterested look he had on. She knew what transpired between Giovanni and her was based on Duress but seeing Giovanni looked on at her and not say anything hurt.
When she couldn’t bare the insult not the shame any longer, she hurriedly rushed out of the mall trying to cover her face which were already teary.
Giovanni on the other hand, felt remorseful seeing Bianca run off like that; it was a clear indication she still loved him.
While they head out of the mall, the video of the verbal abuse with Bianca by Imade was already an internet sensation. Although he felt really hurt seeing Bianca ran off, he wanted to send a clear message to Amore that he had crossed the line and payday is looming

It had been three days since the success of their mission, the apartment has experienced peace as Dave and Lucifer got along. Viola was doing the dishes when Lucifer entered the kitchen to get himself some apple.
“What you doing?” He asked looking at her curiously
“Uhmm… Washing the dishes and subsequently cooking?” She replied in a bored tone.
“Can you help me with the plate across the counter over there” She pointed towards the other side.
While Lucifer handed it over to her, their hands touched and Viola felt that spark she had felt in the office with Lucifer. She looked to see he was already staring at him. She hated the situation and wished she could just enter the ground.
“Viola?” His husky voice called, “You are beautiful” He commented. This made Viola surprisingly to blush. She held her cheek and stared at Lucifer in disbelief; never had a guy made her blush before, he happened to be the first.
“I uhmm.. I will just continue with the dish” As she tried turning back to face the dishes, Lucifer drew her towards his chest, their breath fanning against each other. Viola was lost in his eyes as he looked deeply into hers and without a second thought, they both shared a kiss.
Viola felt all sort of emotions running through her as they continued to lock lips; Lucifer’s hands travelled to her hair, as he bit on her lower lips. Their moment was cut short with Dave entering the kitchen to witness the two making out.
Lucifer could see the hurt in his eyes as he stepped out of the kitchen, while Viola on the other hand broke free from his hug.
“Why do you keep pushing me away” Lucifer asked trying to go close to her once more
“Don’t!!! Lucifer don’t!!!” She warned him sternly holding up a big spoon in her hands threatenly.
“Look Viola, I need you to know that I care for you” Lucifer said trying to hold her hands so she could look at him. Viola groaned I frustration and shook her hand aggressively free from his grip and head out of the kitchen.
She couldn’t deny the fact that she had suddenly started developing feelings for him but seeing the hurt in Dave’s eye caused her so much pain. She head towards his room and knocked gently. After a while, the door opened and the moment Dave laid eyes on Viola, he tried closing the doors back again.
“No please don’t” She pleaded holding the dokr from being closed.
“Why are you coming to meet me? You are such a big disgrace Viola”
“No don’t say that Dave!! I need you to understand how I feel at the moment” She tried explaining.
“Just fuck off bitch!!” She gasped, removing her hands from the door and getting it slammed in her face. She was hurts by his words but knew that he was only saying them due to how emotional he was.

Bianca had managed to arrived home after the horrible incident at the mall, she head up to her room and dropped all she had with her on the bed, throwing herself to the bed. She began to have a rethink about her entire life; she never signed up all of this. This was never what she thought when she entered into the contract with Leo. She had thought that by the end of the contract, she would be free again to live her life the way she want it but fast forward to her present life, she was getting verbally abused at the mall. While she was still crying, her phone buzzed and she hesitated before picking up, not caring about the caller.
“What the fuck was that!” It was Romeo and Bianca could notice the sound of disbelief in his tone as he spoke.
“Romeo, I am tired, fucking tired” She said trying to control her tears as they fell of her cheeks.
“This feels like a fucking ambush to me” He admitted and in some way, Bianca could not help but agreed with his assertion. Giovanni hadn’t stopped her neither the he made any attempt to getting her off. This connoted one factor; Giovanni was after revenge on what had happened few weeks ago at the school premises.
“The entire internet is literally going crazy over this”
“Romeo, I will talk to you later bye” She couldn’t bare hearing it as he mentioned the media to her. She was sure the media would be making millions of dollars over her case with Giovanni both she didn’t care. Suddenly, her phone began to ring and she picked up after noticing it was Amore.
“Are you alright dear wife” He asked
“How the fuck do you expect me to be okay Amore? I was humiliated publicly today and I wouldn’t blame Imade because it is clear that she is being used by Giovanni. I blame you for starting this game up” She was angry as she spoke through the phone.
“Indeed I got to admit this is all my fault but I want you to know that this game that Giovanni thinks he wants to play, he is going to have a taste of his own medicine” Bianca could notice the tone of revenge in his voice.
“I assure you dear wife, I will send a strong message to Giovanni and he would regret ever touching you” Before she could reply, he hanged up.
Bianca laid down back on the bed staring at the ceiling as she thought into everything that Amore had just said on the phone. Was she willing to watch Romeo get hurt by Amore? She thought to herself. Bianca knew Giovanni was not the type to give in to threat easily as he was also very dangerous. She was also aware of the fact that Amore would go to any length to prove a point to Giovanni. She concluded that it was nothing but war between two egoistical brothers.

Giovanni was headed to get something at the restaurant for Imade and himself as the night was approaching. He had Micheal drive him towards the restaurant as he was too tired to drive the car himself. Thinking back to the event that happened during the day, Giovanni wasn’t himself after the mall incident and all his thoughts were on how Bianca would take him for not atleast defending her.
The only reason why he had allowed Imade go on with the abuse was to send a strong message to Car but Giovanni knew that that had also come with a price. He was scared of going to social media as Imade had informed him that the entire world literally has watched the video.
As they moved along the express road, Micheal came to a halt upon noticing a log of wood placed on the road to serve as a hurdle to prevent them from moving on.
“I will handle this sir” He informed Giovanni and head out to move the woods out of the road. Giovanni was surprised at the fact that there hadn’t been any car seen on the road but the answer to his observation had been revealed; the log of wood.
As he watched on while Micheal moved the woods out of the way, the sound of bikes came to limelight and he turned swiftly to see perhaps one gang he had known right from when had been leader at the round table approach them.
The Skull was a group of notorious criminals who dealt in various selling of weaponry and also took on any mission depending on the wages that was stipulated. He had met them once while he was trying to ship the packages from the warehouse from New York to Canada and so, why they were here remained a mystery.
Once they stopped right beside his car, Giovanni got out to meet up with them.
“Gentlemen, what a pleasant surprise” He said smiling as he approached them. Suddenly, one of the gang members rushed up to him and punched him in the face.
Michael who had noticed this rushed up to help his boss but the several gun which aimed at him caused him to halt his steps.
“What the fuck was that for?” Giovanni asked as he struggled to get up to his feet, spitting out the blood in his mouth. The gang leader got off from his bike and approached him
“You should count yourself really lucky that you got only a punch from us” His voice smooth but deadly.
“Why?” Giovanni asked again
“Your brother should be at the right position to answer that for you. His instructions were simple; beat him to unconsciousness” Giovanni eyes widened upon hearing Amore sent them
“The reasons we aren’t acting based on his instructions are two; one the fact that we have shared history together and two, one of our own and infact our godmother is in his custody” He explained “I will advise you watch your back” He tapped Giovanni’s shoulder afterwards, and retired to his bike and the gang speed off, leaving Giovanni stunned.
